My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 179 Come and go

Xiao Sanyuan's admission to the imperial examination was considered a once-in-a-century happy event in Nanping City.

Su Ze was dragged back to Nanping County by the county magistrate, followed by chanting, village drinking, and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Finally, Su Ze led the scholars who passed the boy's test to join the prefectural and county schools.

There is no distinction between prefectural schools and county schools. Scholars who pass the boy's examination are scholars and can join the local county school or the prefectural school in the prefecture.

Naturally, Su Ze chose to join the county school. As the head of the Taoist examination, he can obtain the qualification of a granary student.

Chen Chaoyuan also passed the college examination, but his ranking was low, and according to the regulations, he could not make up the county school students, and could only enter the quota of Zengguang students.

Although Zeng Guangsheng did not have Lumi every month, he had the same political rights as Linsheng, and was able to participate in the provincial examination just like Linsheng. Chen Chaoyuan was also overjoyed and drank wine for several days in a row.

Because of Su Ze's little Sanyuan, many scholars from ordinary families also chose to join the county school.

The county school's vacancy was finally filled, and Su Ze was paid out.

Baizhi County was very satisfied with this, and allocated another sum of money to Hai Rui to let him repair the school building of the county school.

Su Ze came back to Changningwei again, the nine aunts burned incense and prayed, and the old man reported to the ancestors, and moved out the genealogy to record Su Ze's achievements on it.

The entire Changning Guard has become a sea of ​​jubilation, Changning Guard has finally produced a scholar!

Changningwei has a scholar, and the surrounding villages are more respectful to Changningwei.

Scholars can participate in local governance, which means that Changning Guard has a greater say.

For example, if the surrounding villages want to jointly build a project, then a few scholars in the vicinity will come forward to plan it, and then report it to the government for approval.

If ordinary people take the lead, there is a high probability that the government will not respond.

When the villages encountered disputes, scholars also had the right to come forward to arbitrate. Ordinary people were often convinced by the arbitration results of the scholars, which was more useful than the identity of Changning Weijun households.

In order to celebrate Su Ze's little three yuan, the old grandfather also invited the third master's wife in the monastery temple to hold the Changning Guard's Wandering God Ceremony.

The so-called Wandering God means that the statues enshrined in the family temple are invited out of the family temple, and then carried by the men of the village to parade around the vicinity of Changningwei.

On the one hand, this kind of wandering activity is to enhance the cohesion of the guard, and on the other hand, it is naturally to show muscles.

Changningwei has produced scholars, and there are so many young men who can fight, the surrounding villages naturally dare not provoke them.

This is equivalent to the ceremony of the Changning Guard's hegemony. Before Su Ze crossed, the Changning Guard would not dare to wander around other people's villages.

But this time Youshen, Beishan Village also came out to beat gongs and drums, and joined in the celebration together.

The same is true for the surrounding villages. Everyone knows that Chang Ningwei is now a thigh, so naturally they want to hug him tightly.

[Xiao Sanyuan County Examination, Imperial Examination Skill Experience +3000, Lv8, 2630/4000]

It will be mid-April when all this is done. According to the news from Fang Zhifu, this year's Fujian Provincial Examination will be held in mid-August. Su Ze wants to raise his imperial examination skills to Lv10 before the provincial examination. Su Ze is the only one left. It's been four months.

After entering the county school, you must study in the county school, and you can only return to Changningwei at the middle and end of each month.

Hai Rui obviously couldn't allow his students to skip classes, so Su Ze packed his bags and left Changningwei. In the next four months, he had to study hard in the county school and try to pass the county examination this time.

The township examination is held every three years. If he fails to pass this time, Su Ze will have to study in the county school for three years. This is obviously not conducive to his rebellious cause.

After deciding to move to the county temporarily, Su Ze explained about Lin Mojun's guard.

"The identity of King Lu will continue to be used to ensure that the coastal guards dare not go into the sea."

Lin Mojun nodded. These days, she pretended to be the king of deer and attacked around, and wiped out several small gangs of Japanese pirates.

But Su Ze changed the subject and said, "But it seems that King Lu's signboard won't last long."

"Is the anti-Japanese situation going to change?"

Su Ze nodded. According to history, the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing was considered a turning point in Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war. If normal historical developments followed, the Japanese pirate forces under Xu Feng's command would suffer a great loss in Zhejiang by the end of this year.

The Japanese pirates who invaded Zhejiang were the elite of the plundering faction. After the victory, the officers and soldiers in Fujian and Guangdong must take action, and it would be dangerous to use the sign of King Lu at that time.

If the war machine of the Ming Dynasty is really launched, it will be very terrifying. Dongao Island alone will definitely not be able to compete with the whole of Fujian.

Su Ze warned: "If there is a change in the anti-corruption situation in Fujian, then immediately put down the flag and pretend to escape. Anyway, the most important thing is to maintain the signboard of King Deer."

Lin Mojun nodded and asked, "What about Dong'ao Island?"

Su Ze said: "The imperial court will not want Dong'ao Island, just temporarily hide the people on the island, and then Chang Ningwei will go to pretend to 'recover' Dong'ao Island."

Lin Mojun is also reluctant to give up on Dong'ao Island. The island has all kinds of docks and fresh water, and now it has begun to open up wasteland and farmland. She began to agree with Su Ze's trade chain. In the ocean age, an island like Dong'ao Island is the gateway to Springboard to the age of the sea.

Su Ze warned again: "Changningwei is still our foundation. Whether it is opening up wasteland or farming or workshops in Changningwei, hundreds of households will help to manage it first. If you have any difficult things, you can go to the county to find me."

Lin Mojun was a little upset, unknowingly Zhongchang Ningwei's property has grown so big, and she seems to be increasingly inseparable from Su Ze.

Su Ze just wanted to go to the county school to study for four months, but Lin Mojun was a little bit reluctant.

Just like a wife who is reluctant to part with her husband when he travels far away, Lin Mojun is also a little worried about Su Ze's pursuit of fame.

Su Ze didn't notice Lin Mojun's thoughts, but continued:

"The training of bird guns cannot be stopped, and the same is true for artillery. Don't be stingy with gunpowder and shells."

"Captain Alfonso lives at the observatory. I have already taught him how to observe the stars and record astronomical maps, but we must keep an eye on these Francoids and not let them run away."

Lin Mojun immediately said: "Don't worry, I will never let them escape!"

The mirrors of the telescope have been polished, and Su Ze's observatory on Dong'ao Island has been built.

Dongao Island is isolated overseas, which is the best place for astronomical observation.

Originally, Su Ze planned to let the priest Pierre, who had a foundation in mathematics, to record the astronomical and astrological charts, but the old priest was completely shaken in his faith when he saw the crater on the moon.

The moon plays an important role in mythology all over the world. Although Catholicism is a monotheistic religion, the moon also has a special meaning.

Now Su Ze not only let him see the moon clearly, but also proved that the moon is just a planet, and he can also see the pitted craters.

The old pastor prayed to the cross all day long, and it seemed that his "heart of Dao was broken".

Su Ze had no choice but to let Captain Alfonso, who was not so firm in his belief, observe astronomy, but he had already arranged for his students to learn and record astronomical maps.

After explaining everything, Su Ze set off for the county seat.

In the Yamen of Yanping Mansion in Nanping City, Fang Zhifu set up a family banquet and was entertaining two people who were about his age.

Fang Zhifu is the host, a young man who looks younger than Fang Zhifu, but is very haggard, sits on the main seat.

The other person was wearing a coarse blue shirt, about the same age as Fang Zhifu, and accompanied him in the lower head.

"Brother Deyan, are you really not going to go home and have a look?"

After officials enter the officialdom, the most important sorting method is the order of the examination room.

Whoever became a Jinshi earlier is the senior.

Whoever ranks higher in the imperial examination among the same subjects will be the leader of this class.

Sitting on the main seat is Chen Jin, the No. 1 scholar in the 31st year of Jiajing.

However, the fate of this No. 1 scholar was not very good. After he won the No. 1 Scholar, he was conferred the title of Shu Jishi.

Generally speaking, this is a good job. As long as you return to Beijing after completing the job, the imperial court will reward the canonized person and give Chen Jin a higher official position. The road to Qingyun is just around the corner.

However, Chen Jin's health was not good, and he fell ill after leaving the capital, so he failed to complete the canonization task on time.

This is naturally a great crime, and Chen Jin was demoted to Huizhou county magistrate.

That's not as good as Fang Zhifu's starting point for the top three Jinshi.

Chen Jin had no choice but to go south to take office, and the other scholar sitting at the table was also a Jinshi of the same discipline as them. It was just before the prefect got the news that he was demoted to Zhang Sijing because of his unauthorized discussion on the establishment of a reserve.

Chen Jin, Fang Wanghai, and Zhang Sijing were Jinshi in the same year, and they were naturally allies in politics.

Zhang Sijing was demoted to be the Tuiguan of Yanping Mansion, that is, the subordinate of Fang Zhifu.

And Chen Jin, the number one scholar, was demoted to the magistrate of Huizhou, and the people present here turned out to be Fang Zhifu, who had the lowest imperial examination and the highest official position.

Fang Zhifu also has a sense of the impermanence of the world.

Chen Jin is from Fujian, but he was demoted to Huizhou. He had no face to see the elders at home, and he just entrusted Fang Zhifu to bring some things to his mother.

Both Chen Jin and Zhang Sijing were demoted, so Fang Wanghai naturally didn't want to talk to them about the court situation.

The three chatted about Quyi while drinking.

Zhang Sijing said: "I heard that Mr. Tuohu is still in our Yanping Mansion. When I first entered Fujian, I heard that there was a folk art genius in Yanping Mansion who made a set of "Peony Pavilion". seen?"

At the banquet, Zhang Sijing still called Fang Wanghai's official position, Fang Wanghai was displeased, Zhang Sijing was proud of his talent, he was favored by Qingliu as soon as he was awarded a Jinshi, and he spent all day discussing the current situation in the capital.

Because of this, he was taken as a gun, insisted on speaking out on the Lichu matter, and was demoted to Yanping Mansion as a pusher.

Fang Wanghai felt displeased when he saw that Zhang Sijing treated Chen Jin like a brother (Chen Jin's word is Deyan, calling Biaozi is a sign of closeness between scholars), but he treated himself like a superior.

They were all in the same year, and Fang Wanghai, a top-ranked Jinshi, was at the bottom of the chain of contempt for Jinshi. Under normal circumstances, he worked hard as an official below.

What Zhang Sijing is confident about is that he bluntly said about the establishment of the reserve, and it is also for Qingliu's immediate credit. Although he was relegated for a while, he will soar into the sky when he has the opportunity in the future.

Moreover, he was arranged to be an official in Yanping Mansion. This is the position that Xu Jie, the leader of Qingliu and the second assistant of the cabinet, was once relegated to, and it has an unusual meaning.

When Qingliu gains power in the future, or the new emperor ascends the throne, that Zhang Sijing will be recalled to the capital and soar into the sky.

This is also the reason why he has a cold attitude towards Fang Wanghai. Although we are all in the same year, you Fang Wanghai is just a muddy current, how can you be the same as my Qingliu.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and everyone knows this attitude in their hearts.

However, although Chen Jin is the champion, he is not as utilitarian as Zhang Sijing. He is different from Zhang Sijing's speculative Qingliu. He really can't understand the strict party in power.

However, he is not in good health, and now he has been dismissed due to illness and misfortune, and his mood is also very depressed.

Chen Jin also became interested when he heard that Nanping had produced a famous folk art master.

Fang Zhifu smiled and asked someone to bring the complete set of "The Peony Pavilion". He said to the two contemporaries:

"This Su Ze and Su Rulin can be regarded as half of my disciples. I was the one who started his name. In the just-concluded boy's examination, Su Rulin won three yuan in a row, and he has already passed the examination of scholar."

Chen Jin nodded slightly, he was the No. 1 Scholar, just a small three-scholar, and he was nothing compared to him, the king of the previous Ming Dynasty.

But when Chen Jin opened the Peony Pavilion, he was attracted by Su Ze's play.

Zhang Sijing also nodded slightly, Xiao Sanyuan is not bad, Fujian's literary style is indeed at its peak.

The two were quickly attracted by the drama. After reading it, Chen Jin closed the book and said:

"Young people are awesome! This son is related to Han Qing's demeanor!"

Zhang Sijing also nodded, he didn't expect Nanping to have such a scholar.

Fang Zhifu stroked his beard and smiled.

Chen Jin sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm leaving for Huizhou tomorrow."

There is a time limit for officials to take office. Chen Jin was delayed for many days in Zhejiang because of the Japanese invasion.

Zhang Sijing took up the post of Tuiguan in Yanping Prefecture, and a Tuiguan was in charge of local judicial work. However, the former Zhang Jishi didn't have much interest in these documents. He entrusted all the work to his staff and spent all day traveling in Nanping City. water.

Su Ze officially entered the county school to study, and within a few days of studying, he received news from Hai Rui.

The chief examiners of the Fujian provincial examinations appointed by the imperial court have been determined. Since the Chenghua year, the imperial examination system has been gradually improved. As an important part of the imperial examinations, the provincial examinations are directly appointed by the imperial court.

The chief examiners of the rural examinations must be officials with experience in Hanlin.

The so-called Hanlin experience refers to being an official of the Hanlin Academy, either the current official of the Hanlin Academy, or an official who once served in the Hanlin Academy.

Hanlin officials are called the prime ministers of the country, and they must be the best Jinshi in the palace examination to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Presiding over the township examinations has become the privilege of Hanlin officials, which is also a symbol of Hanlin officials serving as prime ministers of a country.

In the palace examinations of the Ming Dynasty, all the disciples of the emperor were the emperor's disciples, and the decision-making power rested with the emperor.

However, the chief examiner of the township examination can also be called a house teacher. Being able to preside over the township examination and recruit candidates in a province is also quite strong political capital.

In places such as Zhili in the north and south, and Jiangxi in Fujian, several Jinshi can be admitted a year. Isn't this a natural team?

According to Hai Rui's news from Fujian Xuezheng, the emperor appointed Wang Daokun, a second-class Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, who was then a member of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Daokun, to go to Fujian to serve as the chief examiner of the provincial examination.
