Chapter 114 Provincial Examination (3)

The surroundings were full of brushstrokes and tens of thousands of people wrote with brushes at the same time. The rows of test rooms were like uniform public toilets. Everyone blushed, their eyes widened, and they tried hard to pour things out, hoping to release all the survival in their stomachs.

The school officials who were on the inspection were walking behind their hands, under the escort of two or three soldiers, looking around boredly, while recalling the glorious years of the past. Occasionally, the students behind the wooden board looked blank, and they were half dissatisfied and half proud in their hearts: thinking about the past...

It is said that among all the officials of the court, the one with the highest average "education" is the Ministry of Rites except for the scholars of the Pavilion. Because of this, although the Ministry of Rites does not have much authority in institutions such as the Six Ministry and Three Departments, the promotion of officials is not slow at all. Since normal central officials must choose through the imperial examination, the shape of the pyramid of the Daxia Dynasty was quite rugged, but if it could stand above the peak, it would be very comfortable.

Emperor Taizong once stipulated: "The Ministry of Rites should be limited to the title of the Ministry of Rites." In other words, every three years, central officials must supplement these 4O people, and if the following 2Os are from Jinshi, if they have no relationship, they will almost certainly be sent to the states. In this way, with an official's average official lifespan of 30 years, his competitors are only 2O people, and the central government has so many positions that not only have vacant seats left for the royal family, but also people who take advantage of the troubled waters. But no matter what, it is easy for officials who are not right to take advantage of a fat and lack weight for two years, but it is difficult to dominate the position and not even get promoted.

While the administration of Daxia has not yet collapsed, the entire country is still firmly in the hands of the civil servant group produced through the imperial examination.

Even the astral warlocks can only abuse one of the civil servants, but cannot confront the entire civil servant group altogether - although they do not need to do so, it is actually impossible. Violence can only destroy but not build. Social order and social production ultimately need to be managed by the civil servant group. In this regard, two forces in Chinese history have made positive and negative propositions, Genghis Khan was proved, and Huang Taiji proved it.

Every year, the imperial examination can be held as a national community organization to recruit new members and then use old members to inspect new members and arrange various positions for new members - using national resources - they do not care much about what qualities officials should have, but they can guarantee the interests of old members, so that they can conduct in-depth research on civil servants.

The provincial examination is the first step in screening.

Cheng Jinzhou spread the paper from left to right, gently pressed the paper with his hands and rubbed the paper, and then went to look at the topic.

Paper is the best jute paper, which is the best among the paper. Except for the surrounding capital, only Quanzhou and other places where maritime merchants gather, this is the only way to do it.

Looking at the topic, Cheng Jinzhou suddenly shocked. It turned out to be the "way of civil and military affairs. To control the army." The subsequent explanation made Cheng Jinzhou even more suspicious: Why did the northern enemy attack the border of our Xia Kingdom after years of the year? If we follow the uninhabited state of heaven and the people, we are unprecedented. Originally, I have no virtue and foundation to establish the foundation in the middle and educate the people. No one can do it outside... Now I want to seek the art of long-term governance and stability. There is no way to defend it. How should I apply it to the end of my life and last forever?

The imperial examination has always been a sign of the imperial court, representing the most important things in the first three years and the next three years. Although the provincial examination is small, it is no exception.

When Cheng Jinzhou’s first reaction was: Is it going to fight?

It was because Liu Bin was outstanding in the position of the Longdong garrison. He was transferred to the transferor and transferred the ministers who were good at border affairs back to the mainland, which showed that the Northern Territory was not strong. At this moment, the issue of "Yu Rong" was released. It seemed that the court had an active expansion of the outward place. In this era, there was Daliang north of Daxia. There was Northern Han in the west. The Daxia occupied the southeast and the Jingnan Dynasty below. Except for the latter, they were all strong opponents. As for other countries further afield, although there was no direct conflict of interest, they had to be wary of the astral warriors.

Under this circumstance, Daxia has not had a large-scale war for thirty or forty years. Emperor Lizong of China is willing to reform. Cheng Jinzhou used his knowledge of the local area for several months to think about it. He could not find any reason for war.

"It's such a strange topic." Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and said to himself.

There are also many candidates who have the same doubts as him.

The imperial examination is not simply a talent in performance literature. Although people fantasize that this is the case, in fact, candidates must understand the examiner's thoughts. Examiners must understand the examiner's thoughts, and examiners must understand the thoughts of the court, and the examiner must understand the thoughts of the court... This is basically an intellectual question and answer based on literature. If you cannot see the trends of the court clearly and cannot understand the deep meaning of the question, it will be even more difficult to pass the exam.

Cheng Jinzhou had not accumulated enough on weekdays and could not understand the mystery. He himself did not have the ability to just talk about the topic and just talked about the matter. He simply opened the provincial examination record in the ring and thought: When people talk about a change, I will see how scholars 50 years ago answered the questions.

...

Chen Jie and his dozen people were walking around the dock area randomly.

Since he made Cheng Bingxun and his son famous, he could not stay in Shaonan City. Cheng Jinzhou sent him to Beijing.

The dozen people who were all sent to the sea boats, and they will never be able to return in this life.

Chen Jie didn't care, anyway, he would be able to stay in Daxia. Those people, including him, were originally those who had entered the Holy Sect privately. As long as they were caught, they would have to serve the pastor for their lives in Daxia. For the court, those who entered the church without permission were not even qualified to become a pastor. However, if they went to other countries, such as Jingnan, they were very welcome to this, and with the reward of hundreds of taels of silver, there would be nothing to resist.

In fact, Chen Jie felt quite happy to be able to come to the prosperous place of the capital. The only regret is that after coming to Xiajing, he had nothing to do except wandering on the dock every day. Instead, he took over more than a dozen younger brothers. A group of rascals, and a noble relationship behind him, he was still happy to be a fox and tiger power.

The West Wharf is a sea boat dock. Local gangs have already occupied the territory. Chen Jie didn't dare to make trouble when he first arrived, so he brought more than a dozen people to do some work to help others and contact the local temple from time to time. At the beginning of the month, he went to the Cross Street to get some expenses, and his life was very comfortable.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, "If one day he could have a boat, he would have no worries about food and drink."

"It's eating and drinking on the boat." The young man next to him was giggling and looked in the direction of the dock and said, "I want to tell me, it's because of the paddy fields. There are dozens of acres of paddy fields, and you don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to go out to sea to fight desperately."

"I've been worried too much." Naturally, people retorted: "Don't those ship owners sleep on the shore every day? The women who have fields sleep on their wives and boats sleep on their wives, and they have nothing to sleep on their people..."

"I think you're just going to sell **..." Life on the pier has always been rough, and I'm angry when I scold each other.

Chen Jie doesn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. He received basic education in Cheng and worked as a manager. He claims to be half a scholar, but the current environment is full of vegetables on the plate. He can't pick and choose, just to find some money-making business first to find ways to jump up.

Seeing the boss showing impatience, the few people who followed him also stopped tactfully and someone started a new topic and said, "Boss, has Mr. Cheng become a second-level star warlock?"

"It's the second_Soul, I don't learn anything. You two Da Ahmao, I think they are cats and dogs." Chen Jie pointed to the two people following him and cursed, but smiled on his face. He thought he had a prosperous relationship with Cheng Jinzhou, and the title of these two-star soul was almost a stimulant.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Mao tried hard to say, "I said the two-star warlock is so familiar, I heard someone mention it today."

"Who mentioned it?" Chen Jie immediately asked. The dozen people he collected were like fleas lying on rotten leaves. He didn't know anything other than the leaves, but the movements on the leaves were not missed at all. They could survive in the cracks between local gangs, government officials and wealthy businessmen, and they ate well-informed money.

"Old Dao Gang, this morning, he slept in the tram and got pulled out of the bed. It was so noisy. Later, when someone said something about a two-star warlock, he followed him." Ah Mao said in front of the news. Seeing that Chen Jie's face was serious, he knew something was wrong, and quickly added: "There are as many as seven or eight companies transporting grain in the maritime merchants. TheOld Dao Gang is said to be able to kill ten materials at one time. When fighting, he always rushed to the front. If the Dao Gang does something beheaded, he will definitely be indispensable."

"It's always a bad thing for women, and you haven't heard what they say clearly."

A Mao shook his head and said, "They said loudly. I was having breakfast in front of me before I heard it. But I knew the girl who was serving washing, so she must have heard it clearly."

If the food left for the guests the day before the yard is left for the next morning, it will be eaten with the people - of course, the people mentioned here, beggars, etc. are not counted. Most of them are scoundrels, and they also have the intention of not paying for peace.

Chen Jie rubbed a small inlay of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Amao and said, "You go and ask me, come back and report it immediately. If it is related to the Cheng family, it will not be delayed for a moment."

Before Ah Mao wanted to receive the money, he shrunk his hand and said coldly: "Brothers, eat braised vegetables, or eat delicious food, it depends on you. If you dare to miss the opportunity, I will not only kill you."

Amao swallowed, his eyes still staring at the silver. 5~two was a huge sum of money, so they would not have the opportunity to get in touch with the entire ingot of silver.

Others looked at Chen Jie strangely, and he was unaware of anything. There are many two-star sorcerers in Daxia, but they usually have the title of two-star sorcerer first, and only then have the title of two-star sorcerer. There are very few people with higher star ratings than levels. People say that they are usually called level rather than star ratings.

If he was obviously a two-star sorcerer, he could only think of Cheng Jinzhou.

This is such a great opportunity.

Chen Jie clenched his fists tightly.
