Chapter 914 It's just the exam, nothing to worry about
Feng Zhou spared Du Liangcai's life, and he was a well-behaved fellow. He came over in person the next day, and in addition to bringing some silver, he also brought the title deed of a house.
But it was a manor near the Juma River.
The Juma River was called Laishui in ancient times. Around the Han Dynasty, it was renamed "Juma", which means that the water flow is as fast as a giant galloping horse. Later it was written as "Juma". According to legend, it once resisted Shi Le's horse from going south. Now it is in the prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty.
, the water is deep and the river is wide, with dense woods on both sides, and the environment is beautiful. Many wealthy families have built manors and villas here for leisure purposes.
As Du Liangsheng, he was not qualified to obtain such a manor, but after all, he was a native of Dingxing County. He had seen the ups and downs of many families in more than 20 years, so he saw the right opportunity and bought such a manor.
.
Since he is so sensible, let him live a more comfortable life for more than a year. Although he cannot bully men and dominate women, it is no problem for Taoists to be immune to all diseases. In any case, before he left Dingxing, this indigenous scourge was
Can't stay.
Feng Zhou spent the next few days in Dingxing.
Fang An has become a famous person in the county, everyone respects him, and his business has expanded a bit. Fang An naturally knows that this is a favor from his nephew.
It's just a pity that his wife is short-sighted and offended him before, so the two parties have broken off the relationship harmoniously.
Feng Zhou made his business prosperous because it was for the sake of his relatives.
As for Fang San being bullied repeatedly in the academy, that has nothing to do with him.
Fang An had no time to take care of the house, no time to take care of his nephew, and naturally no time to take care of his own son.
Only Mr. Liu knew nothing.
Every day I am just jealous of Feng Zhou's good luck.
Time flies, and the Spring Festival has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is the day of the childbirth examination in Gefu County, Beizhili.
The children's examination includes three stages: county examination, prefecture examination, and college examination. Those admitted in the college examination can enter the local, prefecture, state, and county schools as students, commonly known as "xiucai".
.Students who pass the imperial examination are qualified to take part in the provincial examination and are called "imperial examination students".
The county examination is held in each county and is presided over by the county magistrate. It is usually held in February every year, with five consecutive examinations. After passing the prefectural examination, the prefectural examination is conducted by prefectural officials, which is held in April, with three consecutive examinations. If you pass the county examination, the prefectural examination will be held.
They can be called Tongsheng and participate in the college examinations hosted by the academic administration or academic education of each province.
After settling down at Yuelai Academy for more than half a year, Feng Zhou had already made preparations and arrived at the examination room under Dingxing County.
What surprised Feng Zhou was that among the candidates for the child examination, the ones he saw most were energetic young people, and there were also many middle-aged people and even gray-haired grandfather candidates.
Sure enough, you have learned and passed the test until you are old. It only takes one glance to see the nature of these adults and even old people. They are all typical examples of people who are stupid in reading. Taking the test as a child at such an old age is a sign of memory that has begun to fade.
A serious test.
After staring for a moment, seeing that the small square was already overcrowded, I heard the sound of a gong, and the previously closed door of the Examination Institute opened. The local magistrate and a group of candidates filed in, first to worship the saint at the Examination Institute's Confucian Temple.
What surprised Feng Zhou was that just when many candidates were posing and saluting respectfully towards the Confucian Temple, a strange aura suddenly surged from the small Confucian Temple, and then it quickly disappeared among the many candidates at lightning speed.
The candidates, including Feng Zhou, were swept around.
Feng Zhou just thought for a moment and returned to normal immediately.
After carefully sensing it, that special aura wave swept across all the candidates and then receded like a tide, as if it had never appeared at all!
interesting.
This world is indeed not a serious world.
Even the Confucian Temple has such magical powers.
In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it. The White Lotus Sect, which defrauds people of money and specializes in rebellion, has worshipers who are proficient in magic.
So it is not surprising that the Confucian Temple, which monitors the world's literati, has the magical power to connect the world and eliminate aliens and evil laws.
Perhaps dealing with immortals is more interesting than dealing with ordinary mortals.
Rumor has it that evil spirits and aliens have no escape under the Confucian Temple, so other types of magical powers have no effect in the area controlled by the Confucian Temple.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhou nodded lightly. As long as he wanted to rise in the world of Red Mansions, he would inevitably face these immortals and gods, so that would be easy.
With these things in mind, I followed the examiner of this children's examination, the local county magistrate, into the examination room, took the examination number plate, found my seat, and sat down to wait for the test papers to be distributed.
As for the surrounding environment, it will naturally not affect Fengzhou.
Soon, the yamen officials distributed the test papers one by one. Feng Zhou opened it and looked at it, with a relaxed smile on his face. These test contents were completely in Feng Zhou's mind.
It took some thought.
The first day of the exam passed easily.
After that, there were four more exams in four consecutive days. The exams all went very smoothly. Most of the questions were very simple. They only tested the candidates' memory and comprehensive knowledge. With Feng Zhou's terrifying memory, passing the test was very simple.
Sure enough, when the county examination results were released, he was on the Fengzhou list and ranked relatively high, so he easily qualified to participate in the prefectural examination.
In fact, with Feng Zhou's strength, he could win first place even if the county magistrate disagreed with him on politics, but now he is just hiding his clumsiness.
After his results came out, Feng Zhou made a special trip to visit the local county magistrate and presented him with gifts. He was very respectful and gave his parents official face.
There are five county exams and three prefectural exams for the children's voice test, for a total of eight exams. The county exams are held in February and the prefectural exams are held in April.
The county examination and the government examination can be taken together or separately. Naturally, Feng Zhou didn't want to go through so much trouble. Since he wanted to pass the Tongsheng examination, he just passed the government examination directly.
Therefore, in April, Feng Zhou went to Baoding Prefecture to take the imperial examination, and still passed easily, with the nouns placed first and not conspicuous.
Next, he continued to stay in Baoding and participated in the college examination.
There are two college examinations and two college examinations within three years. The content of the examination is roughly the same as that of the prefecture and county examinations.
The examination papers will be judged by the headmaster or a friend of the academy who is five hundred miles away. The number of students admitted in the first round is twice the number of scholars. Those students who pass the college exam after the second re-examination are called "students".
A member of the scholar-bureaucrat class, commonly known as a scholar, is considered to have gained a "fame". Entering the class of scholar-bureaucrats, he has the privileges of being exempted from corvee service, not kneeling before the magistrate, and not being punished casually.
Scholars are divided into three grades. Those with the best grades are called "natural students" and are given food by the government on a monthly basis;
"Affiliated students" refer to students who have just entered school as affiliated students.
The final exams of the county exam, prefectural exam, and college exam are all at the beginning of the case, commonly known as "Little Three Yuan".
Since "born students" have such privileges, Feng Zhou naturally did not tolerate any concessions. He showed a little more strength, entered the upper class, and obtained the qualification of "born students".
Next came the provincial examination held in August of that year.
If he passes the provincial examination, Fengzhou will become a Jinshi, and he can go to Beijing to take the examination and become an official to govern the world.
Compared with fighting with salt merchants, checking taxes, and military training with uniformed guards, exams are easier.
The Provincial Examination is held every three years. Those who participate in the Provincial Examination are scholars. However, before taking the Provincial Examination, the scholar must pass the scientific examination held by the academic and political tour of the province. Only those with excellent scores can be selected to participate in the Provincial Examination. After passing the Provincial Examination, they are called Juren, Juren.
In fact, he is a candidate official and is qualified to serve as an official.
