As the yamen officer walked to the other corner of the examination room, there were already many candidates waiting here. They were all the top ten in the county examinations in each county, and they were also crowded.
However, compared to other areas, this place is a bit spacious. Although they are all candidates taking the exam, their status and treatment are already different before the exam begins.
"Is this White Pheasant Xiangrui?"
"Hurry up and be happy..."
Several candidates from Zishui County also joked when they saw Bai Gui walking over.
This is making fun of him because Xiangrui got the head of the case.
Although the content of his test paper is good, he does not rank first in essays. The dozen or so county examination candidates behind him may not have any unnecessary thoughts, and it has nothing to do with them anyway. But for the top ten on the same list,
They don't think that they are inferior to Bai Gui. Although they don't think that Bai Gui's talents and learning are false, they also think that they are on par with Bai Gui...
There was originally a chance to win the county case title, but due to auspicious reasons, he missed it. How could Bai Gui be pleasing to his eye?
Bai Gui came over. When he heard this, his face changed slightly and became a little colder. He cupped his hands casually and said nothing more.
The retort made him lose face.
Anyway, the identity of the leader of the case means that he must be admitted in the government examination. Watch him build tall buildings, watch him entertain guests, watch his buildings collapse. There are probably a few people in the top ten in this county who can pass the government examination, so there is no need to be angry.
Besides, quarreling in front of the government office is also against the law and may result in a ban on taking the exam.
At a quarter of an hour, nearly 1,500 people had gathered on several streets of Fuya.
In the Qing Dynasty, Xi'an Prefecture had fifteen counties under its jurisdiction, one scattered state and two departments. Only fifty people passed the county examination in each county, which was close to a thousand people. Plus some colleges and universities in the prefecture, the number of candidates who took the examination was really high.
There are quite a few.
Although Zishui County is not prosperous in culture and education, the provincial capital is the location of the old capital, and culture and education are not bad in the country. Even if it is lonely, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, which is not comparable to that of ordinary cities.
The gantry slowly opened.
Naturally, the first to take the stage are the top ten from each county, and these are the ones who hold the title.
Although the number of people is a little smaller, there are still one or two hundred people, and they still need to wait for investigation. For those in the top ten counties, the intensity of the inspection is not bad at all, and it is very strict.
It is more stringent than the county examination.
Souzi was also professional in his methods. After checking more than a dozen people, when it was an old Confucian scholar's turn, he loosened the old Confucian scholar's braid. When he saw a stack of detailed cheat sheets inside, his face turned cold, "
It's really yours, hollow out the braid and put the cheat sheet inside..."
"Come here, arrest him and throw him into the prison first, waiting for the Lord of the Palace to take action."
The elderly scholar was dragged away from the examination room in tears.
Bai Gui saw it. His eyes were much sharper than ordinary people. He saw that it was written in English. This old Confucian scholar must have been too old to learn Chinese, so he took the risk to enter the examination room. Otherwise, ordinary people would not care at this juncture.
entrainment.
Soon, several more candidates were searched, most of them were slightly older. Some of them hid the papers in the valley, and the searchers dug them into their crotches and pulled them out.
"Please, please spare me. I passed the county examination when I was eleven years old. I took the government examination more than 20 times. I was rejected every time. I finally saw some hope, but the content of the government examination changed again.
Already..."
The searchers didn't care about the desolate begging for mercy from these elderly Confucian scholars. They moved swiftly one by one, carrying them away left and right without any sloppiness.
At that moment, many candidates behind them secretly threw the prepared cheat sheets on the ground.
There was an order in waiting in line. Zishui County was not considered a big county, so Bai Gui ranked lower. After checking seventy or eighty people, it was his turn to enter.
He was about to untie his clothes and loosen his braid, but Souzi smiled, searched a few times, and let him pass.
Bai Gui was stunned for a moment, then remembered what the Yamen servant had just said about Zhang Xuexi asking them to take care of him. This should be a preferential treatment for him. There were people in the court who were good at becoming officials, and the same thing would happen if they were transferred to another place.
At the same time, he also knew that this might be because these government officials knew his true talent and knowledge. His Japanese proficiency was not bad now, and he was the county chief, so he had no motive for cheating...
Networking is one thing, but if you don’t have the matching strength, you won’t let others look down upon you. If you have the same strength, but no connections, you won’t be let go so easily during this inspection.
Network and strength are complementary to each other.
After going through the Linbao interview process, the Linbao for the government examination required two Linbao, but he knew quite a few people, and there was no shortage of Linbao. This time, senior brother Wang Ruqin and another senior brother came here specially.
Guarantee for him.
After being led to the table in the court by the yamen officer, Bai Gui also took his own paper. In addition to writing his seat number on the paper, there was also a red stamp with the character "tang" stamped on the front of the paper.
The so-called mentioning the title of sitting in the hall means answering under the eyes of the Fu Zun.
Sitting in his seat, Bai Gui secretly took a look at Yin Fuzun. He stared at the candidates in the hall with a serious expression. He seemed to see Bai Gui's gaze and looked at him again. Bai Gui immediately lowered his head and turned his gaze.
Put it on the test paper.
He has been to the government office many times, but has never seen Yin Fuzun. This is the first time he has seen him.
The pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the examination basket are neatly arranged one by one, waiting for the examination to begin.
At this time, only the top ten candidates in Gongtang County were seated, and the rest of the candidates were still waiting at the gantry. As the candidates were seated one by one, the cheating candidates with shackles and shackles were escorted over by the government officials and severely scolded by Yin Fuzun
.
In the ancient imperial examinations, the treatment of cheating candidates was the most stringent in the Qing Dynasty. One is the shackles. Anyone who is a gunman on the spot, pretends to be a registered official, replaces, entrains, plagiarizes, passes, or does not take the official title will immediately be put in shackles by the invigilator.
Announcement outside the examination room. The second is expulsion from academic honors, which is for Confucian scholars with academic achievements. The third is criminal punishment. In serious cases, they will be expelled from the army and exiled to places like Ninggu Pagoda...
Everyone was as frightened as quails and did not dare to look up.
Immediately afterwards, Yin Fuzun ordered the government officials to escort these cheaters to the vicinity of the examination booth, and display and inspect them everywhere. Then, with a slap on the scaffold, several officials came over immediately holding lanterns.
Three policy topics.
The first one: 'Thailand's foreign policy often achieves benefits in the name of preserving land. He cites the history of the past century to prove his policy.'
The second way: "Zhou Li talks about agricultural affairs in the most detail, and all the scholars have the knowledge of agriculture. In recent times, when countries study agriculture, they mostly use personnel to change the climate. The key points are land, capital, and labor. If you can make good use of these three, it will be practical.
It is based on knowledge and knowledge. Nowadays, the academic system has been revised and classified as a specialist course, hoping to preserve the legacy of important skills and try out strategies for teaching farmers."
The third line: "The ban on Chinese workers in Amei and Kenya has been a harsh rule for a long time. When the ten-year period expires this year, the letter should invoke public law to refute the original agreement in order to protect the overseas Chinese."
