Compared to the ecstasy of their classmates, Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun were naturally much more reserved.
They did not go to the Gongyuan site, but found a restaurant to wait.
Well, it's Baiyuelou. Feng Ziying decided this for them. They think this restaurant can bring good luck.
So when Fan Jingwen won Shuntianfu Jinke Jieyuan, Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun couldn't help but high-five in celebration.
In the autumn of Shuntian Prefecture, Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun have three concerns. One is whether Feng Ziying can pass, and the other is whether the number of Chinese styles among the nineteen students in this department can break the previous record.
The third is whether Fan Jingwen can win Jieyuan.
Now the third goal has been achieved, followed closely by Feng Ziying, who ranked 149th in Chinese style. She also created a history. At the age of 14, she was the first in Beizhili to be elected! It can even be regarded as the first in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The first one after making the capital the capital!
This is also the point that Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun are most concerned about. Although Qiao Yingjia and Qi Yongtai both claim to be Feng Ziying's teacher, it is Guan Yingzhen who has put the most thought into Feng Ziying's studies in the past two years, because Guan Yingzhen
He felt that Feng Ziying's temperament was the right one for him. He was principled and bottom-line, but also more flexible. This was somewhat different from Qi Yongtai and Zhou Yongchun's temperament, so he also tried his best to train Feng Ziying.
Similarly, Zhou Yongchun also attaches great importance to himself as a "township party".
The influence of Shandong officials in the court is not only inferior to that of southern Zhili and Zhejiang provinces, but also inferior to Huguang and Shanxi. As a Shandong scholar, Zhou Yongchun naturally hopes that Feng Ziying can grow rapidly.
Get up and become the spokesperson for Shandong scholars in the future.
To step into the imperial court, the most critical thing is to cross the hurdle of being elected. Now that Feng Ziying has finally crossed this threshold, how can this not make Zhou Yongchun excited?
When the last news came that fifteen students from Qingtan College passed the Jinke Shuntian Qiuwei examination and broke the previous records of Qingtan College, Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun wanted to maintain the reserved and quiet demeanor of celebrities.
I couldn't help but stand up, pump my fist and roar.
This is not easy. The hard work of the past few years has finally yielded such a fruitful result. Even if there is some luck involved, success is success.
After the meal at Baiyuelou, many students were drunk.
This is the second meal at Baiyuelou.
Everyone thinks that it was the good luck at Baiyuelou last time that made Jinke Qingtan Academy win the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination.
By the way, Feng Ziying also had the lowest score among the Chinese students at Qingtan Academy in the Shuntian Rural Examination for this subject.
But no matter what, Chinese style is Chinese style. Except for the famous name of Xie Yuanfeng, there is no difference between the other first places and the 155th place.
They are all qualifications for being elected. If you want to be an official, you also need to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to queue up and go through the affairs. If you want to participate in the Spring Festival, you will not get any special treatment.
There really is nothing special except that you can get first place in the joint examination and become a member, and then be ranked first in the palace examination and gain the reputation of being ranked third in the imperial examination.
This also means that out of the nineteen students in the entire academy, only four students failed the exam, which is simply a miracle.
Even though the previous year, Qing Tan Academy had a combined subject of 21 students, only 11 of them passed the exam. This was already the best result since the establishment of Qing Tan Academy.
But this subject is a general subject. Nineteen people took the reference, but fifteen people passed the exam at once. It is really unprecedented and unprecedented.
This ratio is difficult for even latecomers to break.
Although there are more places in Beizhili here, Qingtan Academy itself also selects the best from the best in student selection. But this was also the case before, but this subject is the only one to achieve such results. Naturally, it is inseparable from Feng Ziying's
A share of credit.
It can be said that every detail here, Feng Ziying’s strange ideas over the past two years, and the benefits it has brought to everyone, all students are well aware of it, and it can be said that they will always bear in mind their gratitude to Feng Ziying.
Even Fan Jingwen is equally clear that his Jieyuan is largely due to the changes brought about by Feng Ziying. Otherwise, although he is Chinese and worry-free, it is still unclear who will win this Jieyuan.
After the Chinese style meal, most of the students were drunk, but fortunately, Feng Ziying said that she would go home to see her mother soon and asked for their understanding. All the students were very knowledgeable and toasted Feng Ziying with a glass of congratulations and thanks.
Then he no longer respected him.
This is the embodiment of prestige. The benefits you bring to others are the greatest prestige. No matter how powerful you are in the academy or how popular you are, to the students, it will not be as good as what you bring to them in a down-to-earth manner.
The benefits are more important and will be more memorable to them.
The success in the examination is really no better than others. Think about this group of poor students from nine prefectures and two prefectures in Beizhili. As far as Feng Ziying knows, except for Fan Jingwen’s family, whose family situation is not bad, there are more than ten other classmates who have good family backgrounds.
They are poor, and most of them should be similar to Fang Youdu, who lives in the same dormitory with me. That is to say, the family may have a few acres of thin farmland, which can barely support a scholar to study. If there is more, it will really be impossible.
It can be said that this scholar is the only hope and pillar of a family. This is the biggest goal of rural families in the feudal era. It is far more attractive than those who passed the exams of Peking University, Tsinghua University, and even Harvard and Yale in their previous lives, because once they win the exam, they can
Change the fate of an entire family, or even a family.
There are 9 prefectures, 2 prefectures, 72 counties, 17 prefectures (scattered prefectures) and 6 wards in North Zhili, with 550,000 households and nearly 6 million people. Only 155 people are taken in one subject every three years, and this
More than half of the one hundred and fifty-five people will be taken away by the children of officials, Wei Zhen children and Imperial College students who have registered with the official registration. Only sixty or seventy people will actually fall into the local children of Beizhili.
In other words, every three years, among the more than 100 prefecture and county guards in Northern Zhili, not even one official can be appointed.
Can you imagine a situation in modern society where the districts and counties around the capital city could not even get into Peking University or Tsinghua University for three consecutive years?
So there's really no comparison.
Therefore, when countless poor students are admitted to the Juren Examination, their beautiful wives and concubines will automatically be sent to their doorsteps, money and land will naturally be sent to them, and they will even help you plan a living.
Without him, just because you can go in and out of the county government office at any time and speak to the county magistrate on an equal footing, you can intervene in lawsuits at any time, and you can speak out on township affairs at any time, the county must take it seriously and respect it.
It's so awesome, but that's if you don't take the Jinshi exam or don't pass the Jinshi exam, and you don't want to go out to be an official.
If you really want to pass the Jinshi examination or go through the Ministry of Rites' selection of officials and go out to serve as an official, then the power will be different.
"Mengzhang, Ziying, tomorrow's deer roaring banquet, you have to take good care of your classmates..." When Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun came out with Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying, the other students were already helping each other back to the inn.
Tomorrow there will be a deer singing banquet organized by the Ministry of Rites and Shuntian Mansion. All Chinese students will participate, as they are truly in the same year.
"Chief of the mountain, in charge of the academy?" Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying were both surprised. According to the custom, the disciples who are Jieyuan's masters and the elders of the academy have to attend the Deer Ming Feast. This is also the practice of all provinces.
"We will not participate. It is too hateful. It is estimated that our Qingtan Academy will also be the target of public criticism this time. At that time, you have nothing to do and should be confident, but we may not be popular."
Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun looked at each other and smiled.
Indeed, there are 155 people in Beizhili, and your Qingtan Academy accounts for 10%, and the reference is 19 people, and the Chinese style is 15 people. Is there any natural reason for this?
I'm afraid that after this subject, the entire Northern Zhili, no, the entire Northern Territory, and even Shilin in the South will be shaken by it, and countless talents from the North and the South will travel thousands of miles to study at Qingtan Academy.
Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun are already considering how far the academy will expand next. It is possible that the number of people will be doubled.
The academy has strict rules for recommendation, but when letters of recommendation from celebrities and sages from various provinces come to you, if you refuse, you have to consider the consequences.
If someone can send a letter of recommendation to your Qingtan Academy, it means that your Qingtan Academy values and respects you. If you refuse it at will, it also means that you do not respect others, and this may even be regarded as a humiliation. That is
It will cause a turmoil in Shilin.
Of course, more rational scholars and famous scholars will write to inquire first, which is equivalent to communicating in advance. If the intention is recognized, a formal letter of recommendation and recommendation letter will be issued.
But there are still some people who think they are well-known and well-established enough and will recommend them without asking in advance. Once the academy does not recognize it, trouble will arise.
This kind of thing will try to avoid happening in every academy, but it will inevitably happen.
For Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun, the next step will be more arduous. Not only do they have to prepare for the Spring Festival Competition in more than four months, they also have to consider starting to accept new students.
"By the way, after the Deer Ming Banquet tomorrow, you will all come back, and the senior brothers in Xiyuan will also celebrate for you and congratulate you on becoming a member of Xiyuan." Zhou Yongchun also interjected with a smile: "It's a heavy responsibility.
Yuan, Mengzhang, Ziying, four months from now will be the time to really meet Zhenzuna, I hope you can all achieve better results."
"Meng Tai, don't put too much pressure on them. They just passed the national examination in autumn, so you should let them rest for a while and feel the joy of success." Guan Yingzhen also smiled and shook his head.
Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw great ambition in each other's eyes. Autumn has passed, so it is natural to launch an attack on Spring. With the scenery of Shuntian Jieyuan, Fan Jingwen has no reason not to attack Spring.
Similarly, for Feng Ziying, the most difficult and dangerous autumn period has passed. Although the spring period is more difficult, it is more conducive to her advantage in political theory. Why not dare to give it a try?
