At the place where the list was posted at the gate of Gongyuan, as the official who posted the list arrived, a large group of people suddenly gathered around, scrambling to take a look.
"It's hit~ It's hit~"
When someone saw their name, they couldn't help but cheer and dance excitedly.
The carp crosses the dragon gate and the person is promoted to Jinshi, which means a completely different life.
Jinshi are the disciples of the emperor and the pillars of the country. They will be officials in the future. They have a high starting point and are promoted quickly.
As for Juren, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is still good, because the territory is expanding rapidly and a large number of officials are needed. Juren can also be officials, but the starting point is low and promotion is slow, making it difficult to get ahead in life.
It can be said that the difference between the two can be described as a world of difference, just like a carp crossing the dragon gate, transforming into a dragon, and rising into the blue clouds.
"Haha, young master, young master, it's hit, it's hit~"
When a bookboy saw his young master's name, he immediately cheered with joy.
"Haha, okay~"
When the scholar heard this, he laughed happily, then picked up a money bag and started to scatter money. Suddenly, a large number of people gathered around to grab the wedding money.
As for the contemporaries around me, they were waiting anxiously, looking at the people who were happily throwing away money with envious eyes.
"Master, Master, it's hit, it's hit~"
Lu Nan's book boy squeezed through the crowd and came to Lu Nan excitedly to announce the good news.
"OK!"
Lu Nan immediately laughed happily, took out the money bag that he had prepared, and began to sprinkle a lot of copper coins into the crowd, which caused another round of snatching.
This time, copper coins will be scattered. After the palace examination, when you can get a good ranking, you will have to scatter money again. However, the palace examination, which is to determine the noun, will not be as exciting as now.
"Congratulations to Brother Lu~ Congratulations to Brother Lu~"
Jing Yang, Dai Dabin and others all expressed their congratulations to Lu Nan. At the same time, they looked nervously at their book boy, wondering why he hadn't come over yet.
"Haha, same joy, same joy~"
Lu Nan smiled and replied, Jing Yang and Dai Dabin are both famous talents. Lu Nan thinks that they must go to high school. However, their two schoolboys have not yet come out and are still looking carefully at the list.
Looking for his young master's name.
This side of Dongbang.
"Congratulations to Brother Li for high school~"
"Congratulations to Brother Tian for high school~"
"Congratulations to Brother Wang for high school~"
Li Nanshan, Tian Feng, Wang Qi, Pei Wenqing and others congratulated each other, all with smiles on their faces, and kept spreading coins to share their joy.
The competitive pressure of Dongbang is very low. If many students who came to take the imperial examination were placed in Jiangnan and other places, let alone high school Jinshi, they would not even be able to pass the imperial examination. Their level was very poor.
Especially students from some minority tribes, their level is quite average.
But there is no way. Dongbang is Dongbang, which itself is to consolidate the Ming Dynasty's rule over the newly included areas, consolidate the unity of the Ming Dynasty, and unite the various tribes within the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, even if the students from some minority tribes are not very good, they still need to be admitted to high school, such as Tian Feng, Ruan Wenjie, Liming and others.
Tian Feng is a local aboriginal in Nanyang Province. Giving him a place as a Jinshi can be regarded as appeasing the hearts of the local aborigines in Nanyang Province and making them love the Ming Dynasty. It also expresses the idea that the Ming Dynasty will treat everyone equally.
At that time, the local indigenous people in Nanyang Province strongly resisted the rule of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty had to send out troops, hire Japanese and Korean warriors, and put bounties on the heads of the indigenous people to eliminate these local indigenous people.
Of course, there are also many natives who are willing to join the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, during the last imperial examination, Tian Muming, an uncle of Tian Feng's clan, soared into the sky. He only knew how to write Ming Dynasty characters and learned a little about the Four Books and Five Classics.
He passed the Jinshi examination in the capital and went to the Western Regions to become a county magistrate.
After the news came back to Nanyang Province, the local indigenous people immediately cheered and cheered. They suddenly stopped resisting the Ming Dynasty's rule and began to actively integrate into the Ming Dynasty.
This is when Tian Feng came to take the imperial examination.
Speaking of Tian Feng, his level is naturally very average. In the thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, I guess he would be pretty good just by being a scholar, but now he is still a high school Jinshi.
The situation of Ruan Wenjie and Liming is similar. Ruan Wenjie is a native of Cochin Province, and the Ruan family is a big local family. Liming is from Xianglin Province, and the Li family is also a big local family.
Although the Ming Dynasty does not necessarily need the cooperation of these large families, it is naturally the best to use literary means to consolidate its rule. The successful example of the last imperial examination is enough to illustrate all this.
Of course, there are also people with real talent and learning in Dongbang, such as Li Nanshan. He is a genius. Although he is a native of Nanyun Province, he is very talented. Even if he is placed on the North and South list, he can still go to high school.
.
Dongbang is a happy place. Under the government's policy, many people have graduated from high school.
However, here in the North and South List.
"Master, no~"
Jing Yang's book boy, sweating profusely, squeezed out of the crowd, came to Jing Yang's side, and said helplessly.
"No?"
When Jing Yang heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been transported into an ice cave.
Although when discussing the policy question, Lu Nan said that Jing Yang had checked the wrong question and it might be bad, he still had a glimmer of hope. However, when the list was actually opened, he did not have his name.
This feeling of loss seemed to drain all his energy and energy at once.
Jing Yang is a well-known talent in Jiangbei, but if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam, wouldn't he have to have his big teeth removed?
"Master, neither~"
At this time, Dai Dabin's servant also came over and shook his head.
"No?"
When Dai Dabin heard this, he felt dizzy and his whole face began to turn red, as if he felt extremely ashamed.
"I actually failed the list~"
Dai Dabin suddenly became extremely disappointed.
Looking at the high school students around me, many of them I originally looked down upon, especially those students from Dongbang and those from minority tribes.
However, they were all in high school, and he thought he was a great talent, but he failed. There was a huge contrast between them, and he seemed to see someone laughing at him behind his back.
A wave of dizziness came over me, and the world was spinning.
"Master, Master~"
When his servants saw Dai Dabin fainted, they immediately became anxious and rushed to help him.
"Master, it's hit, it's hit~"
Someone nearby shouted excitedly. Hearing the sound, a student who was waiting anxiously jumped up with excitement. He looked at Jing Yang and Dai Dabin again. He had always been looked down upon by these two people in the past, especially when they were listening to the rain last time.
Xuan, I can't compare with them in writing and writing.
Now I feel extremely comfortable, but they failed in my high school.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Naturally, the high school students were cheering and extremely happy, and the money was thrown out loudly. The whole scene was extremely lively, with a large number of children coming to grab the money. The idlers were happily grabbing the money while they kept shouting "Congratulations, Master, Congratulations."
The master's words made these high school students even more happy and kept throwing away money.
As for the students who failed the exam, they were all disheartened and in an extremely low mood.
I have studied hard for ten years in order to be able to get a spot on the gold list. But if I can't even pass the general examination, I won't be able to get a spot on the gold list.
Although he is a good man again after three years, for many proud people, it will be a different story after three years.
"I'm not convinced~I'm not convinced~"
"Why can people like them get through high school, but I failed."
Jing Yang looked at the cheering students around him, his eyes all red, unwilling to accept the reality that he had failed.
Although it is not unusual for scholars in this era to fail the examination, you must know that even a great person like Wang Shouren took the examination three times, and only ranked second in high school the third time, and still ranked seventh in the second class.
A great talent like Tang Bohu, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, only passed the second-level examination in history, and he was only in the middle of the second-level examination. I don’t know how many famous celebrities failed repeatedly in the imperial examination, and some even passed a lot of tests.
Only in high school.
But Jing Yang now cannot accept the reality of failing the exam.
"I'm not convinced either, I'm not convinced either, I want a checkup~"
Dai Dabin also shouted after him. He was also extremely unconvinced. He was conceited, talented and full of knowledge, but he failed the exam.
But look at those high school students, many of them couldn't even pass the first few levels in the activities held by Ting Yuxuan. What qualifications do they have for high school, but they failed.
"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced~"
"We are not convinced~"
"We want to check the papers~ We want to check the papers~"
Soon, many students who failed the exam also started shouting. Among them were some great talents who claimed to be talented, but they encountered the situation of failing the exam, so they were naturally unconvinced.
After all, there are only a few people in high school.
More than 3,000 people came to take the examination, but the list of Jinshi candidates was only more than 300 people, which means that only one in 10 people can go to high school.
When they heard that someone was dissatisfied and wanted to check their papers, other students who had failed the exam also started shouting.
"We are not convinced, we are not convinced, we need to check the papers ~ we demand to check the papers ~"
Jing Yang and Dai Dabin took the lead in shouting, and soon a large number of students who failed the exam gathered.
As for the high school students, they all frowned and looked at them quietly, feeling a little worried in their hearts.
If Jing Yang, Dai Dabin and others were allowed to continue making trouble like this, they might not be able to pass high school if the court re-examines them, so they all looked extremely unhappy.
It was originally a happy day, but the students who failed were not convinced, and the matter became a bit serious.
Soon, the news reached Liu Jin.
"Check the papers?"
"Well, let them check it and make all the test papers public~"
Liu Jin smiled and said, "If you want to check, I'll let you do it. According to the rules, checking papers is allowed."
