Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 205 Back

After Zhang Qingfeng released the content of Fengshenyanyi for free, and countless storytellers rectified his name, the whole matter seems to have come to a conclusion.

When Zhang Qingfeng went to the tea garden shed to review books again, no guests questioned his identity.

Because he is the author of the Romance of the Gods, he was favored by the audience.

Now, when Zhang Qingfeng talks about storytelling, he can get thousands of Wen just for the tipping money.

Yang Sanlang's name has become a well-known name in the entire circle of storytellers.

"Yang Sanlang."

"Hello, Yang Sanlang."

Walking on the streets of Zhongwa every day, many people who knew Zhang Qingfeng greeted him one after another.

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng took time to go home.

"Sanlang, you are studying in the city. We don't know where you are, and we can't find anyone who wants to find you. You can take your father to visit Mr. Zhao's house. Let's identify the door and contact you if there is anything."

Yang Sanlang's mother said to Zhang Qingfeng.

Mr. Zhao, Zhang Qingfeng made up the name of Mr. Juren. He told his parents that he was studying at the home of Mr. Zhao.

Everyone didn't know that Mr. Zhao was just a low-level storyteller.

Zhang Qingfeng didn't dare to tell his parents about this matter, at least not for the time being, otherwise if he let his parents know, there would be a lot of trouble in the end.

However, Zhang Qingfeng has nothing to do about this matter. He must have completed the system tasks as his main goal, rather than taking the imperial examination to become an official.

"Mother, I came back to tell you that the government examination is two months away. I am going to study in the city with peace of mind and take this year's government examination." Zhang Qingfeng changed the subject.

I heard Zhang Qingfeng said that he would take the government examination.Father Yang said to Zhang Qingfeng. "You have studied for so many years, you should take the imperial examination. You must study hard and try to pass the exam. It doesn't matter if you fail, after all, you are still young."

The imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels, namely the government examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination.

The government examination is tantamount to a university examination. If you pass the examination, you will be a college student. There is no such thing as a high school entrance examination or a college entrance examination.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, and Number One Scholar.This is a postgraduate entrance examination for middle school, which is similar to high school entrance examination for university entrance examination.

In the case of the Song Dynasty, as long as they were scholars without fame, they were called scholars.

As long as you pass the government examination, you will be a Juren.

Those who pass the provincial examination are all Jinshi, and they can become officials.

The palace examination only serves to rank the Jinshi.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was not like this at the beginning.

In the beginning, although those who have passed the government examination are also Juren, it is only temporary. If they have not passed the provincial examination, they will have to start from the government examination again next time, which means that they will lose the title of Juren.

This is like starting the exam from primary school again if you didn't get into university.

Even if you pass the provincial examination and become a tribute, you may not be a Jinshi, because you can only be called a Jinshi if you pass the palace examination.

Such a situation changed during Song Renzong's period because of a man named Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan was angry and switched to Xixia because of repeated failures in the palace examination, and later became the prime minister of Xixia.

The traitor of the Song Dynasty made suggestions for Xixia, which greatly harmed the Song Dynasty.

In order to prevent this kind of situation of scholars betraying their country and surrendering to the enemy from happening again, Song Renzong issued an edict in the second year of Jiayou: "No one will be deposed in the Jinshi Palace Examination."

From then on, all the tributes who have passed the provincial examination will be admitted to the palace examination, and the palace examination has become a ranking examination for Jinshi. Sooner or later.

Later, even if you won the provincial exam, you don't have to take the provincial exam again.

Zhang Qingfeng's idea is very simple, that is to take the government exam and try to pass it, and then fail the provincial exam.

In fact, Yang Sanlang's parents sent Yang Sanlang to study, and they didn't hold out hope that he would become a Jinshi and become an official, because it was too difficult.

There were so many scholars in the Song Dynasty, and it can be said that thousands of troops and horses crossed a single-plank bridge to enter the Jinshi exam.

Yang Sanlang's parents also thought very simple, that is, they hoped that Zhang Qingfeng could pass the government examination, once would not work twice, twice would not work three times, as long as he passed the government examination, he would have the title of Juren.

With the title of juren, it is always better to find a decent job than farming.

Juren in the Song Dynasty was similar to the diplomas of college students in later generations. With a college student (juren) diploma, whether it is a teacher, a clerical job in the yamen, or other things, it is always better than being a farmer. many.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as you passed the government examination, you would have a college degree.

As long as Zhang Qingfeng didn't pass the provincial exam, he didn't have to be an official.

After passing the government examination, it can be regarded as an explanation to the family.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng said that he would prepare for the government examination in the next two months and that he was not going to go home, Yang Sanlang's parents didn't say anything.

But no matter what Zhang Qingfeng said, Father Yang asked Zhang Qingfeng to take him to Mr. Zhao's house to identify him, otherwise they would not feel at ease if Zhang Qingfeng was alone in the city.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Qingfeng could only shirk by saying that his husband had gone out on business recently and would not come back until a few days later. After a few days, he would take his parents to Mr. Zhao's house to confirm the door.

For such a result, Yang's father and Yang's mother accepted it.

After Zhang Qingfeng was going to go back, he discussed with old man Zhao and asked him to pretend to be his teacher and deal with the parents.

Just when Zhang Qingfeng returned to Zhuantang Town and was about to return to Lin'an City, several people stopped Zhang Qingfeng.

"Yang Sanlang, you liar, didn't you say to show us the manuscript? Why are you here and then leaving?"

The person who stopped Zhang Qingfeng was naturally Liu Rongqing from Liucheng Academy.

Ever since the manuscript of Fengshen Yanyi was leaked last time and was used by the old men, Zhang Qingfeng found an excuse to take back the manuscript lent to Liu Rongqing, and did not give her any new manuscripts.

In response to Liu Rongqing's words, Zhang Qingfeng only said that there was something he hadn't written recently, and he would show them to them after finishing writing in a few days.

Today, when Zhang Qingfeng came back, Liu Rongqing knew about it early in the morning. She thought that Zhang Qingfeng would go to the academy to show her the manuscript, but she was told that Zhang Qingfeng was coming and going.

So Miss Liu, who had been chasing even harder, couldn't wait, so she came to the pier to block Zhang Qingfeng.

"I'm going to take this year's government examination, so I haven't written it for a while, I'll show it to you when I write it later." Zhang Qingfeng said to Liu Rongqing.

He actually wrote it, but he didn't want Liu Rongqing and the others to transcribe it when Gou Lan didn't even have a storytelling.

Because as long as the manuscript is given to Liu Rongqing, there is a risk of it being leaked to the old men.

Zhang Qingfeng planned to keep the new manuscripts, and when the leaked free manuscripts were used up, he would follow the example of the old men and charge all the storytellers in Lin'an.

The price that the old men sold to some storytellers was [-] Wen for the content of a storytelling, Zhang Qingfeng didn't want too much, just [-] Wen.

In the entire Lin'an City, there are so many Goulan cottages, teahouses and restaurants, and hundreds of storytellers. As long as [-]% of them buy his manuscripts, he can make a lot of money from them.

And this money is not a short-term benefit. Fengshenyanyi still has more than 70 words to write, which is enough for him to earn for more than a year.

Here, I heard that Zhang Qingfeng was preparing for the government examination and didn't write anything. Although Liu Rongqing chased him even more anxiously, he could only leave unhappy.
