Xiangye

Chapter 63 Meeting Yu Shiyuan Again

After carefully copying a stereotyped essay with hundreds of words, Yu Xingyan suddenly turned his face and kicked him out, which made Gao Wen very boring.

I looked back and thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with this composition, so that the old man was furious?

No... Maybe there is... Scholars in this era, especially old rotten scholars like Yu Xingyan, who have been tried and tested and made jokes by scholars, are a bit psychologically distorted. You don't know when you touched his reverse scales .

So, what is wrong with this article?

Since he couldn't figure it out, Gao Wen simply didn't think about it.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between myself and Yu Xingyan is only business, not personal.The old man has a strange personality and is a money lover, while Gao Wen is careless and unscrupulous, and they don't have much to say when they are together.

On the fourth day of the fourth day, Du Zhi County sent Gao Wen to see him and explain the next very important matter.

It turns out that this year the imperial court opened the Enke, but it is the year of the big exam.The imperial court issued an imperial decree a few years ago, ordering the chief ministers of the provinces, the school administration offices, and the government and county agencies to handle this matter properly.

The township examination is held every three years and is a provincial level examination.Once a scholar is Chinese, he will be able to gain fame and be qualified to be an official, which is equivalent to the national examination for civil servants in later generations.No, the specs should be bigger.Once you win the Juren, you don't want to take part in the examination, and you have connections, you can report to the Ministry of Officials, and then arrange to go to a county to be the county magistrate, that is, the executive deputy magistrate of later generations.

The provincial-level township examination has nothing to do with Hancheng County, but don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty’s imperial examinations were divided into four levels, namely the Boys’ Examination, the Township Examination, the General Examination, and the Palace Examination.

The Boys' Examination is divided into three parts: the County Examination, the Government Examination, and the Academy Examination. You have to pass the exams one by one.

Unlike the township examination, general examination, and palace examination, which are held every three years, the boy's examination is held twice every three years.

According to the election system of the imperial court, the county examination is held in February every year. After being admitted, they will take the prefectural examination in May.As for the final test of the children's test, it is scheduled for the end of June and mid-July.Due to the hot and cold climate and the distance between the distances, the examination period is not uniform.For example, in the southern region, there are fires in July, and there are some cases where candidates die of heat in the examination room, and most of them will be brought forward to June.Because the college examination is related to the fame of the candidates, the examiners are all assigned by the central government.It is better that Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi are closer to the capital.Such as Shaanxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan and Guizhou, it is set in mid-July.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were strict standards for assessing the performance of a local official: taxation, public security, culture and education.

Among them, Wenjiao refers to how many scholars, how many scholars and even Jinshi have been produced under your rule during your tenure.

Du Shenghui and Du Zhixian were the disciples of Wang Zhiwang's attic of Tianguan Zhongzai. This time, Hancheng was airborne to be the magistrate, and he came here to gain political achievements.He is also lucky, this year Hancheng has a lot of snow, and the auspicious snow is a good year, so the two taxes in the coming year should not be a problem.As for law and order, the Baoen Temple incident was a sensation in Shaanxi, Gao Wen gave him a lot of face, and now only culture and education remained.

Mr. Du thought about making a big effort in this matter. After thinking about it, Hancheng has a developed economy and there are many scholars under its rule, so they can all be sent to Xi'an City to participate in the post-autumn rural examination.Of course, if you want to send scholars to refer to, you have to pay some of the travel expenses.According to the rules, when candidates go to participate in the big competition, the government has to send a few taels of silver for travel expenses, and a grand ceremony has to be held.This money will naturally fall on the rich households in the city, and let them sponsor some.

The township examination is a problem, and the boy's examination cannot be missed. This is the place where political achievements are most likely to be made.The difficulty of the township examination is too great, and every county can't produce a few candidates for each examination.But the boy's exam is different. If you are lucky, you won't have seventeen or eighteen scholars in one sitting.Instead of pinning your hopes on the rural examination, it is better to put a lot of effort into the boy's examination.For example, for the county test, he, the county magistrate Du, can hold his hand high and let more people pass the test, so that they can have a chance in the next two exams.

Early birds get food, so on the fourth day of the lunar new year, the magistrate of Du County called Gao Wen to pass it on, saying that you could write well, so he wrote a notice and posted it in a conspicuous place in the city to let him know.

Ordinarily, this should be a matter of the ceremonial room, and it has nothing to do with Gao Wen, a famous criminal master.But now Gao Wen is in the eyes of Du Zhixian, which makes him easy again, and he is the first thing to think of whenever something happens.

It was just a notice, so Gao Wen naturally wrote more than a dozen notices with his pen, and posted them everywhere with his subordinates.This matter made the secretary office in the ceremony room very unhappy, and Gao Wen treated them to a meal of wine to calm everyone's dissatisfaction.

In any case, this matter was of symbolic significance to the officialdom in Hancheng (if Hancheng had an officialdom), which showed that Gao Wen was already the most trusted person in Duzhi County.

As a result, all the book offices and yamen servants in the yamen would come up to him and shout "four masters" when they saw him, and flattered him as much as possible.Even Han Kui struggled to smile when he saw Gao Wen, and he didn't dare to spit loudly on the ground as usual.

In private, Li Jinbao was also very pleased to see Gao Wen, saying that you are really promising, and the future is limitless if you go on like this.

Gao Wen smiled and said Uncle Seven, I am a master now, even if I have a future in the future, I will still be a master.

Li Jinbao said seriously, you don't know, this master and master are also different.For example, the teacher of the county magistrate is not as good as the teacher of the magistrate, and the teacher of the prefect has to bow his head when he sees the teacher of the chief envoy.Our Mr. Du has a big background. In my opinion, he won't last long in Hancheng, and he might be promoted when he is uncertain.If you fall into his eyes, he will not take you away in the future.Maybe decades later, Mr. Du has become a big man in the court.At that time, the prime minister's family is a seventh-rank official, and you are his aide, even if a high-ranking official sees you, he will have to flatter you.Don't look down on those of us who are government servants, as long as you have power in hand, it doesn't matter what your identity is?Not to mention anything else, just take the father-in-laws in the palace as an example, who would dare to provoke them!
Gao Wen smiled wryly: "Master Seventh Uncle, you are far away. When did we become eunuchs?"

However, Li Jinbao's words still stirred his heart, "Yes, as long as you have power at hand, it doesn't matter what your identity is? It may not be a good way out to follow Du Zhi County."

On this day, Gao Wen was posting notices on the street, preaching to the onlookers and conveying the spirit of Master Du to educate all things, when he saw Mr. Said: "Brother Er Zhi, treat me!"

As soon as he saw Yu Shiyuan, Gao Wen became angry: "Shiyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, why, hide from me? It's okay if you don't come to look for me. I saw you today, and I really want to ask you for an explanation. "

"What am I doing hiding from you? Isn't he busy selling books outside?"

"Then why are you back?"

Yu Shiyuan: "Isn't my uncle going to prepare for this year's autumn, and he has no intention of taking care of the business in the store. There is no way, as a nephew, I can only come back for a year. Hehe, brother Erzhi, are you still doing it for me? Are you worried about exposing that you are the author of "Journey to the West"?"

Gao Wen: "As long as you know."

Yu Shiyuan: "Aren't I also selling more books? Erzhi, you are just a classic history. It doesn't matter what your reputation is. You can't compare to a white-haired lover."

Gao Wen was frustrated: "That's right... By the way, you didn't come to make amends for what you did, but asked me to invite some guests. How can you be so unreasonable?"
