Chapter 549
Not long after, the second list started. According to the requirements of Zhang Mo and Xu Chu, the candidates who had been confirmed to be on the list left the periphery one after another and looked at the candidates who were still in the field, with a little envy or jealousy in their eyes.

"The previous one was the fifth list, but now it's the fourth list!" Zhang Mo shouted, and then a small official posted a new list. Compared with the fifth list, the number of people on the fourth list was actually a bit more.

"The fourth place in the list is a scholar, which is different from the traditional Maocai of the Han Dynasty. A scholar represents your privilege to meet officials in the future! In the future, when you meet officials, just call yourself a 'student', unless one day you commit a crime and are dismissed In addition to your student status, you will have the status of graduating from Kuaiji Academy, in other words, you will skip the stage of being a child.

According to Duke Chu's wishes, there will be a college examination held in each county every May in the future. Only children can participate, and those who pass can obtain the status of "scholar".Chu Gong asked me to tell you that the future scientific examination will be held every three years. This year, there will be another scientific examination three years later. It will also be held in August, but the release date will be earlier. The only ones participating in the scientific examination are you scholars.

The privilege of a scholar is not only in the aspect of not paying homage to officials. A scholar's family can enjoy a five-year tax-free subsidy for doing business.If you farm, you will be exempted from tax, but if you do "deceitful sending" things, you will be expelled from school, you should pay attention to this.These privileges can be enjoyed until you are 5 years old, and only your generation can enjoy them.At the same time, you can receive 50 catties of grain as a subsidy from the government every month with your scholar status until you are 100 years old. "

"Wow!" All the candidates, including those who failed the rankings, suddenly exclaimed. They didn't expect that a scholar would have such a privilege.Even those who got Tongsheng regretted it a little, why don't they work hard, maybe they will soar into the sky.

"In addition, in the future, the county officials in each county will only recruit talented people. In other words, a talented person is the minimum standard for entering the government!" Xun Fei walked out slowly and solemnly announced.

"Ah!" All the examinees exclaimed again, they didn't expect that if they passed the examination, they would be eligible to serve as county magistrates.

"In addition, the test papers of the top ten people with the best test scores will be posted for you to see! The same is true for the other three rankings!" Xun Wei continued, and immediately some small officials began to take out several wooden boards with Thirty answer sheets.

"Okay, you guys will watch it later! Those who have already won the show, stand back!" Zhang Mo saw that they were going to get together, and shouted.

The examinees began to wake up amidst the excitement, and then retreated back with a smile.Those who have already been selected by the scholar, behind the complacent, enjoy the envious or jealous eyes of those who failed the exam, and those who only won the Tongsheng.

"Now it's the third list!" Yu Fan walked out, "These three lists are the official lists. As I said earlier, the scientific examination will be held every three years, but it's not that simple! In August every three years, in August Each county held a township examination, and only scholars could participate. Those who passed the competition entered Wanling in March of the next year to determine the candidates; candidates entered the government office, and the Duke of Chu would personally ask you questions. This stage is called The imperial examination will naturally be completed by His Majesty in the future.

It's just that this is the first imperial examination, and many things have not been perfected, so not to mention that this step is completed by Duke Chu, many steps have also been simplified.Otherwise, only those who pass the palace examination will enter the top three and receive the title of "Jinshi". In the future, when selecting officials, Jinshi will be given priority.However, those who pass the test can also get a "juren" status, and they can go to remote areas to serve as county magistrates, or give priority to county officials and county officials, which may not be without the possibility of becoming an official.But this time, the situation is slightly different. The third list of the three lists is the list of candidates! "

After Yu Fan finished speaking, a small official naturally posted the third list, and hundreds of people were listed on it.Candidates stepped forward one after another. When they saw their names, they were proud but also a little frustrated. Especially when Xu Shu saw his name on the candidate list, he didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.

He is very aware of his abilities. As far as the exam questions are concerned, his study time is limited, and it is normal that he cannot get good grades.

"Juren...forget it..." Rengui has self-knowledge, and Xu Shu is already very satisfied with the result.Didn't Yu Fan say that even if he is a Juren, he can become an official.

"Successful candidates!" Yu Fan continued, "Not to mention enjoying the power of being a scholar, you can receive 10 silver coins as a subsidy every month until the age of 60. A wooden archway is allowed to be set up in the street or pavilion where Juren lives. It is used to encourage the township to study hard. At the same time, the son-in-law can directly enter the academies in various counties and counties. In the future, if conditions permit, academies will be opened in counties one after another, so that students can study nearby."

"Wow!" The examinees shouted again immediately, they can set up archways in the village, that is a great event for Guangzong Yaozu!The key is that the legitimate son can directly obtain the qualification of child birth, which can save a lot of struggle.

In fact, the rest are all smart people. Everyone can see that this childbirth test is easy to pass, so it's nothing.It's just that when there are too many people, the pressure of competition will increase. When the waves wash away the sand, the rest is the essence.

Immediately, under Yu Fan's order, the test papers of the top ten Juren with the best grades were naturally posted.Compared with the scholar's answer sheet, the content has been enriched a lot. It can be seen that the more comprehensive the knowledge level, the better the test score may be.Sure enough, there is no simple one who can pass the exam.

"The next is the second list!" Zhang Zhao walked out, "According to the original meaning, after passing the palace examination, the top three will be determined, and will be awarded three identities of 'Jinshi and the first', 'Jinshi's background' and 'Same Jinshi'. For the selection of candidates by the imperial court, the higher the priority, the higher the priority, but as long as you pass the palace examination, congratulations, you are a 'Jinshi'. As for this time, only the honor of 'Jinshi and the first' is awarded, as for the first list... You will find out later."

The number of people on this list is much smaller than that of Juren, but it is still a lot.Everyone hurriedly went up to watch, but the rest of these people can almost be sure that they are on the list.

"I got it, I got it!" A 50-year-old man was overjoyed at once. He studied hard for more than 50 years, but because he came from a poor family, he still couldn't be an official at the age of [-]. His hard days are finally coming to an end.

"I know you are happy, but don't be so happy. Being on the list only means that you have the qualifications to be an official. If you become an official, it is a new starting point. See, this list is different from the previous ones. It is completely based on your test scores. The serial number of the row. The top [-] will enter Wanling to serve as Langguan. Just like the situation of the big man, you will serve as Langguan for three years, and then according to your talents, appropriate official positions will be assigned to you. As for the fifty Those who are not named can only be released as officials, county officials, or county magistrates. You must be mentally prepared.

Jinshi also has the benefits of being a Jinshi. You can set up a stone archway in your hometown, and at the same time, three generations are exempted from agricultural tax.You can receive 20 silver coins as a subsidy from the government every month until you are 70 years old. "

"Thank you Chugong for your kindness!" Who knows who shouted, and the other candidates who won the Jinshi all shouted.

Zhang Zhao didn't talk nonsense, just nodded, and then ordered the little official to take out the test papers of the top ten and post them up.

"The last list!" Cai Yong walked in, "There are only three people, they are the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua!"

Three people?The candidates who had already returned immediately looked at the seven people who stayed in the field when they heard the words. There were obviously seven people, so why only three people were admitted?Not to mention them, even the seven people who stayed in the field couldn't help being surprised.

"Speaking of which, something unfortunate happened during the previous exam!" Cai Yong coughed lightly, "After five candidates answered the questions, they forgot to write their names on the answer sheet. We couldn't tell which one was which. As a result of the negotiation, candidates who forgot to write their names on the answer sheet will be rejected. In other words, if there is no name on the first list, it will be considered as a failure!"

"Ah!" The examinees suddenly exclaimed. They thought that there were seven people competing on the same stage, but who knew that five people actually forgot to write their names.This is a big oolong, the key is sad.I thought it was a dragon, but who knew it was even worse than a worm.

"We also posted the five test papers without names written on them. If we recognize them as our own test papers, we can withdraw them to avoid embarrassment later!" Cai Yong ordered, and soon a small official took the test papers without names written on them. out.

Many people stepped forward, only to find their exam papers, their expressions changed immediately, and they left sadly.The key point is that when they saw a well-written exam paper with perfect answers, they also failed the exam because they didn't write their names. They didn't even have the courage to complain, so they could only leave sadly.Fortunately, these four people are under 35 years old, and they still have chances in the future.

Looking back, it turned out that there were still three people left in the field, and it was suddenly strange.There are obviously five exam papers, why are there still three people left?

"It seems that there is one person who has self-knowledge and left early?" Cai Yong nodded. That guy was obviously a spy sent by the court, so it was naturally impossible to expose himself.

Xu Shu also knew very well that among the five examination papers, one must be Meng Jian's.At this moment, he should still be there, but he was afraid that he would follow when the first batch of candidates returned.

"Now, the old man will personally announce the first list of the imperial examinations!" Cai Yong took a piece of paper and read slowly, "No. Yiji from Shanyang; No.3 in this scientific examination, that is, the second place this time, is Zhang Song from Chengdu, Shu County; No.2 in this scientific examination, that is, the number one scholar this time, is from Lingling County Jiang Wan of Xiangjiang!"

Immediately they clapped their hands, and a small official led out three white horses, each with a silk red flower hanging around their necks.When the little official led the white horse in front of the three of them, Cai Yan continued: "According to Duke Chu's wishes, please get the three candidates on the horse!

Later, there will be small officials who will open the way ahead, but the three of them will make a circle around Wanling City, and the small officials will continue to beat gongs and drums, telling the people of Wanling that the three won the top three honors in this scientific examination. !Borrowing from a fragmentary poem by Duke Chu, it is "Ten years of cold windows, no one asks, and once you become famous, the world knows it"! "

"Thank you Chugong!" The three of them couldn't help but get excited when they heard the words. Only three of them are eligible to enjoy such an honor in three years, and among them, the No. [-] Scholar who is the leader is the most dazzling. Studying hard, as well as the exams in the previous three years, are nothing.

"Everyone else, don't be discouraged. Duke Chu is hosting a banquet tonight. All Jinshi and candidate candidates can attend the banquet! The difference is that the top three can not only eat at the same table with Duke Chu, but all the meals are served by Duke Chu himself. Cook it in the kitchen." Cai Yong looked at the three of them with a smile, and the five of them actually received the same treatment, which was regarded as Li Ming's reward for their hard work for a month.

"Wow!" Hearing the words, the other candidates looked at the three of them with all kinds of envy and hatred.

 We haven't had an in-depth understanding of the imperial examination essays, so I can only adapt it.The first imperial examination is a special case. After all, many things have not yet formed a scale, so please don't complain.
