Bai Gui had already prepared the manuscript. He had been practicing calligraphy diligently, so he wrote it freely and without any ink stains on the test paper, so he did not need to revise or copy it.
This concludes the first political history topic.
As for the next few historical topics, we still need to ponder for a while and take a short rest.
The quick answer is a genius.
Answering one article after another, this is a monster.
If Li Bai really wanted to write a hundred poems about drinking wine, he would certainly become famous, but it would be detrimental to his future development. If he really had Li Bai's ability, it would be okay, but... he was just doing a good job in preparation.
He stopped writing, but the candidates in the field continued to write.
It forms a sharp contrast and stands out from the crowd.
Several officials in the court couldn't help but be moved and looked surprised.
"I didn't expect that the provincial capital's culture and education are so prosperous, and other prefectures are far behind..."
Several officials took the opportunity to compliment Magistrate Yin.
The prefect's outstanding performance also means that culture and education flourished under Governor Yin's tenure. This is a meritorious service.
"Has he already written it?" Governor Fang stared at Bai Gui for a few times. Unexpectedly, the provincial capital was a man of quick thinking. He immediately called the clerk and asked him to bring over the test paper that Bai Gui had answered.
Several officials also wanted to see it, but Governor Fang could only see it first.
"Not bad!"
"This person's research on Western history is really eye-catching. Small farmers and capital... are well discussed."
Governor Fang looked at a line of words and nodded. If it had only text, this article would be average to above average. If it lists some Western historical materials and uses historical materials to prove it, then it would be a good article.
Seeing this, Chen Xuezheng asked the clerk to call Bai Gui and go to court for questioning.
He actually knew something about Bai Gui. His daughter had recently become very close to the Wu Mansion, which he was happy to see happen. By the way, he also got to know Wu Huaixian's friends. As the head of the mansion, Bai Gui was the most capable person.
caught his eye.
Making friends should not just be based on status, but also on prospects.
With this relationship, he is willing to give Bai Gui a chance.
Otherwise, Governor Fang didn't say anything, so it would be redundant to ask Bai Gui to come up. But he is the academic administrator in charge of this scientific examination, so it is excusable to call Bai Gui up to ask questions. When the time comes, let Governor Fang ask a few questions, that's all.
Eye-catching!
Governor Fang put down the test paper and handed it to other officials.
When he saw Bai Gui standing in the hall and saluting, he didn't take it seriously. As a quasi-scholar, he was already qualified to go to the hall to meet officials without bowing. According to the law, this was against the rules, but no one would be so ignorant.
"The economic history you wrote is good. Where can I study it?"
Governor Fang asked.
Knowledge has a source. If the candidates who take the imperial examination have good test papers and are asked by the examiner, most of them will also ask who they studied with. This is not only a question, but also makes the teacher who teaches knowledge famous.
You must know that the field is full of the best of the province. Once he becomes famous, he will not only be praised for literature and education, but also his reputation will be spread among the examiners who treat the wise men favorably.
When Bai Gui heard the words, he immediately had something in mind and replied: "I am reporting to Futai that my juniors were taught by Mr. Xu from Xujiayuan in Zishui County, and their professional teacher was Mr. Zhu from Bailu Academy, and later studied at Shiwu Zhai at the Normal School..."
This is an explanation of his lineage.
He knew that Governor Fang had a good relationship with Mr. Zhu and had once proposed a plaque for White Deer Academy.
As for the Western teaching method currently used in normal schools, there is no obvious inheritance from teachers, so we can avoid talking about it.
An industry teacher, a mentor who teaches an industry.
"It's Mr. Zhu..."
Governor Fang showed admiration on his face. He didn't know much about Xu Xiucai, but Mr. Zhu was a great scholar in Qin Province. He lectured everywhere and had a good relationship with him. Now that he knew that Mr. Zhu was Bai Gui's master, he valued him even more.
This is the role of a famous teacher!
He pondered for a while. As a governor, he generally would not interfere with the culture and education of the province, but it did not mean that the governor did not have this power. It could be said that the governor was equivalent to the local emperor of a province, and he could basically make decisions on everything.
"Xu Xiucai was given the same treatment as a junior student, and Zishui County issued an official document praising him. He also allocated 30 acres of school land to support literary pursuits, with various rewards. He also gave Bailu Academy 200 acres of school land with varying rewards, including a normal school.
School…”
Governor Fang commended the merits of these schools in turn and gave them rewards.
"Thank you Futai for the kindness! Student..."
Bai Gui immediately lowered his head, his tone choked with sobs and unable to speak.
Although it seems that Governor Fang did not reward him with anything, the rewards given to Xu Xiucai, White Deer Academy, and Normal School were enough. There will be rewards for him, but they will not be such naked monetary rewards...
His heart was as bright as a bright mirror.
With Governor Fang's nod, the first-class junior student is basically stable, but it's still not certain whether he will be the first in the hospital examination case.
It depends on whether the candidates from other prefectures have any test papers that can impress Governor Fang.
If not..., then it's stable!
Governor Fang nodded with satisfaction and rewarded the academy instead of himself. Being so grateful showed that he was a good student who knew how to repay his kindness.
The following four historical topics.
Bai Gui strives for stability and is not as flamboyant as before.
If you show off once, you have a quick mind and a young mind. If you show off multiple times, sorry, you are not calm enough, and the examiner will frown.
You are not a qualified ruling class.
Yes, once you step into the threshold of being a scholar, you have already said goodbye to the common people.
Therefore, his answer speed can be regarded as middle-range among the candidates taking the class exam, neither fast nor slow.
One day is over soon.
The college examination is a nameless system.
You cannot take the initiative to hand in the papers in advance, which is different from the previous two county and government examinations. However, the examiner takes the initiative to mark the papers and Governor Fang speaks. Everyone will give this face, and no one will secretly communicate with Governor Fang.
For some people, the imperial examination is a big deal, but for the other governor, it is a small matter.
In the next few days, I took a few more policy questions, and the college exam finally passed without any danger.
More than two days.
When the examination results were released, all the streets and alleys in the provincial capital were deserted.
More than a thousand candidates in the provincial capital, as well as their families, all flocked to the streets of Gongyuan. Because the title of scholar is so rare, once you become a scholar, you can say that you have transcended class.
It is said that scholars are poor, but compared with ordinary people, scholars are really not poor.
Moreover, being a scholar is also a symbol of status.
The college examination is different from previous examinations in that instead of group cases, a long list will be issued. The names on the list are arranged from high to low.
More than a dozen loud-voiced government servants sang the song.
Chen Xuezheng, who was surrounded by people, was serious in speech, dignified in appearance, and looked like an official. He looked at Tianshi and nodded, and the scribe next to him opened the silk cloth covering the list.
Immediately, a yamen official sang: "The first place in this Taoist examination, Bai Gui, the candidate from Zishui County, is a first-class junior student!"
In an instant, thousands of people were in a roar.
However, no one doubted that from the moment Bai Gui became the provincial capital, countless people were optimistic that he would be the leader of this court examination, and it was rare for him to fail.
