Not only the people of Dingnan Prefecture are paying attention to this matter, but the eyes of the entire Great Xia are focused here.
Everyone is curious about how many female talents Dingnanzhou can produce this time. As for the provincial examination, that will happen next year.
As usual, the papers for the college examination were published by the emperor. Su Yueling wondered whether next year's provincial examination might also be published by Rong Zhao. As Suijun's only disciple, Rong Zhao's talent and learning were needless to say. That is to say, he did not take part in the scientific examination, otherwise
It's not a big problem to get a Jinshi.
On the day when the list was released, the prefect of Dingnan Prefecture immediately sent over the list of scholars this time, with their place of origin and gender written after each name.
Su Yueling's eyes fell on the most conspicuous number one, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes unconsciously.
Qi Juan really lived up to her expectations, she was the first one this time!
The second and third place are both male, and the fourth and fifth are female students. For example, Lin Shuangyu, the daughter of Lin Zhixian, happened to be ranked fifth. This result is already quite good. This year, due to the large number of students, the scholar is ranked according to the
The number of scholars is proportional, so there are a lot of places for scholars, more than ninety. The most conspicuous among them is Guangning County. Guangning County has produced twelve scholars this time, and five of the twelve are
The female scholar is so impressive... After becoming a scholar, even if she fails to pass the exam, she can still teach in a school and support her family without any problem.
They must be rewarded! When the time comes, we will find good pens, inks, paper and inkstones from the warehouse and give each of them one as a gift.
Su Yueling is really not surprised by this result. When it comes to reading talent, there is no such thing as men being better than women, and there is no such thing as women being better than men. The female students' results this time are so outstanding, but
Because compared to men who have an escape route, female students have to bear greater pressure from their families and society to take the scientific examination. This pressure also turns into motivation, making them more motivated and racing against time without wasting any time.
Sheng Nan saw the list above clearly and showed a bright smile. She grew up in a family that valued boys over girls. Her relatives sold her for her younger brother. If she hadn't met Su Yueling, she might even have been sold into a dirty house.
Dirty place.
"very nice."
She whispered, with tears in her eyes unconsciously.
Su Yueling looked at the list and thought that she could also get a student loan. That is, a person who becomes a scholar can borrow ten taels of silver per year without interest for a maximum of three years. The repayment will begin after three years. For a scholar,
As long as you are willing to let go of your noble thoughts as a scholar, paying back five taels of silver every year is really not a big problem.
However, this would require an unusually large number of manpower... Although Su Yueling controlled several forces, they had a lot of things to do, and with this in mind, they were really busy.
So complicated!
It's better to leave it to the court, and she can be responsible for making suggestions. Now the court is not short of this money. Every year, just doing business with surrounding countries can bring in tens of millions of taels to the national treasury.
"Help me sharpen my ink, I want to write a book."
The waiter served him skillfully. Su Yueling made reference to modern student loans and wrote quickly when she had a clue.
After she finished writing it in one go, she revised a few items that were not suitable. After finishing the writing, she had the excerpt quickly sent to the capital.
…
The list of scholars in Nanzhou was determined, and the papers and Su Yueling's papers were sent to the capital together.
After Rong Zhao read the list, he couldn't wait to read Su Yueling's excerpts. Every time Su Yueling appeared on the excerpts, he would come up with useful policies for Daxia.
Taking in the above content word by word, Rong Zhao realized the benefits of this matter. The money spent was not much for them, and they would come back when the time came. This policy could greatly win over the people at the bottom.
People's support. Moreover, this loan department needs to be established in every county in Daxia. Review, investigation, approval...it can just select suitable talents from local candidates. This can be regarded as finding a new path for them.
Rong Zhao could also guess that Sister Yueling was most likely thinking about those female students. For many families, they are willing to let the whole family live a tight life and raise their sons to study, but they may not be willing to invest so much in girls.
The imperial examination itself is quite expensive.
Because he was very satisfied with the plan, Rong Zhao took out the discount at the court meeting.
Naturally, no officials objected this time. Just kidding, this is for the sake of students all over the world. If any official objected and spread the word, they would be scolded to death by the scholars. The mouths of scholars are murderous knives, and they do not want to be infamous for thousands of years.
Some ministers still regretted in their hearts: How come the person who came up with this idea was Princess Wei?
If they could come up with such an idea, they would gain the favor of many scholars.
Then they saw that a woman actually took the first place in the college examination in Dingnanzhou. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts that the men in Dingnanzhou were so useless. In such an important college examination, a woman actually took the top spot.
Well, I must continue to push my grandchildren at home after I return. With the speed of His Majesty's vigorous and resolute actions, I see that the imperial examination here in Dingnan Prefecture is going smoothly, and sooner or later it will be promoted throughout the country.
Just as they expected, by the end of the year, after interest-free loan banks were established in various places, Emperor Rong Zhao also announced that the women's imperial examination would be implemented next year.
For this reason, he also granted amnesty to the world and added two encores.
In the past, the provincial examination and the joint examination were held once every three years. If you failed, you had to wait another three years.
The men who were unhappy at first became happy when they heard this. This was a solid benefit. There were provincial examinations every year in the past three years, which also increased their probability of passing the examination. Moreover, the court also provided interest-free loans.
, I heard that this idea was thought up by Princess Wei. Princess Wei really dedicated herself to the common people.
Instead of arguing about whether a woman will take their position, they should use this time to review more. If the top spot in the provincial examination is also taken away by a woman, then they will really have no shame in saying that women are inferior to men.
Seeing that everything was on track, Su Yueling left Dingnan Prefecture and returned to the capital.
When Su Yueling approached the pier, she was stopped by someone.
The carriage stopped and the attendant got out of the carriage. After a while, he got up excitedly.
"Princess, many people came to see you off today."
Su Yueling got off the carriage and saw young faces. Some of them were dressed in silk and satin, and some were in ordinary cloth, and their faces were full of gratitude to her.
She has a good memory and recognized that the leaders were all female talents from Dingnan Prefecture this year.
They all knelt down towards Su Yueling.
Su Yueling frowned and said, "Stand up! I don't like to be kneeled down."
Qi Juan and the others stood up again, "Princess, thank you for everything you have done for us over the years."
Su Yueling actually didn't feel that she had done much. Most of the time, people under her did the errands, and she just opened her mouth and, oh, paid for it.
She raised her chin slightly, with a somewhat arrogant expression, "I just don't like to hear people say that women are born to stay in the back house." Facts have proved that many women just don't have that opportunity. They
He understands the value of opportunities better than men and is better able to seize them.
Qi Juan handed a book to Su Yueling with a smile in her eyes, "This is the poem we wrote to you."
After Su Yueling opened it, her eyes lit up!
Every poem in this is praising her! Praising her from all angles! Praising her beauty and her kindness as good as gold!
