After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

When the good news reached Yongcheng, the people were in an uproar at first, and then were ecstatic. Even the families who did not have a son to take the exam were overjoyed, feeling that Yongcheng would be different from now on.

For a while, there were endless sounds of firecrackers in the city, and the people spontaneously went out to celebrate. Seeing this, the smart merchants also smiled and said they wanted to be happy. A large number of items had great discounts, and the people even cheered. The government office stayed up all night A government decree was issued to set up a special place to hold a market, named it Zhuangyuanchang, and publicized it. Now both merchants and people were happier, and they went to set up stalls or buy affordable items.

The news spread quickly, and soon the people outside the city also got the news. They had just sold some grain and had some spare money in their hands. Moreover, the name Zhuangyuanchang was a big deal when they heard it, even if they didn't buy anything. There was no need for the government to continue to promote the event. Within a few days, the Zhuangyuan Market became the busiest place in the city, and people started buying New Year's goods in advance.

Although the Enke court deliberately relaxed the difficulty of achieving such good results, it is more due to the accumulation of talents in Yongcheng, the strong reading atmosphere, and the hard work of the students. The government commissioned several plaques to mark the achievement. The gongs and drums were sent to the two colleges respectively, and additional rewards were allocated. The entire Yongcheng was shrouded in joy within half a month.

"No one has come back. I have to learn how to be an official in the capital."

Mr. Yong Sanye brought the two mountain chiefs to Yan Muan. When the two mountain chiefs talked about Enke this time, they couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths. "To be able to win so many people this time, first of all, I have to thank Tianen, and secondly, I have to thank Tian'en." Thanks to uncle and the princess for their care, the government's funding has solved the financial difficulties of some poor students. The princess's support has allowed the students to study in the capital without having to worry about money. "

"On behalf of the students taking the exam this time, I would like to thank the princess and thank you uncle."

The two mountain chiefs bowed their hands and bowed with sincerity. Many students from poor families were short of money when they took the exam, which affected their performance. Even though they were obviously talented, they regretted taking the exam due to these unavoidable problems.

Although the scholars have character, they also know the importance of money. This time they brought the students to the capital. They did not need to worry about food and accommodation. They could just relax, study and discuss with each other, especially since there were two students who were selected. The chance was not great at first, but after discussing knowledge with people every day before the next exam, and receiving many reminders, I performed exceptionally well in the exam and successfully passed it.

Yan Mu'an said: "It's just a little effort for me and my uncle, but it must be attributed to Yongcheng's accumulation and accumulation over the years. The atmosphere of studying is good, and it must also be attributed to the teachings and painstaking arrangements of the two mountain chiefs. How could we do it without the daily hard work?" The feat of having more than a hundred students go to Beijing to take the exam?”

Everyone deserves credit and deserves to be praised. The two mountain chiefs talked about the capital again, saying that Enke had captured more than 400 people this time, which was the most since the founding of the Southern Qi Dynasty. "A few of them are quite talented." The entry of a famous scholar into the dynasty has indeed brought about a new atmosphere.”

"Mr. Ying, who is in charge of this Enke, said that the conditions for admission were relaxed a bit, but he also believed that the admitted students would be able to make up for their shortcomings. For this reason, the imperial court set up a special official "Everyone who is selected will stay in Beijing to receive guidance from the imperial court. After the year, most of them will be sent to Cangnan."

"The elders who did not win the exam also suggested that they first become the right-hand man for the successful student. When the time comes, they can go together. Not only can they be helpers, but they can also complement each other."

Yan Mu'an thought that the imperial court was going crazy because of the shortage of people. This scientific examination was like cutting leeks, which were cut close to the ground with one knife. For this reason, he also organized induction training to strengthen his skills. "For students, this Enke is really a blessing." A great opportunity is unlikely to come again in the future. I hope they can seize the opportunity and become excellent parents in the future. "

The two mountain chiefs nodded heavily. Their reputation has also increased greatly. More students want to enter their college. I believe that after the news spreads thoroughly in Southern Qi, there will definitely be students traveling thousands of miles to study in the college. The best among the best will definitely be more outstanding in the next scientific examination. From then on, the reputation of the college will be resounding throughout Southern Qi and occupy a pivotal position among colleges in Southern Qi.

The reason for doing so well in the exam is not important. What is important is that the palace must provide a reward, and the reward must be sent to the college with gongs and drums.

As soon as Yan Mu'an gave the order, the stewards of the palace got involved. First, they bought all the four treasures of the city's study room, so that students from the two colleges would have one set. They also allocated money and rewarded the gentlemen of the two colleges with an average of 100 taels per person to encourage them to be more diligent. Teaching; the two mountain leaders each received a reward of five hundred taels, and an additional amount was allocated for the two mountain leaders to distribute bonuses to other people in the college, purchase items, etc.

At the same time, a banquet was held in the government office, and the families of the students who were admitted to the middle school were invited to the banquet to add honor to them. Each family prepared a souvenir, which included the Four Treasures of the Study, tea leaves, silk flowers, folding fans, etc., as well as twenty taels of silver. It can take care of both rich and poor families at the same time.

When the official in charge of the ceremony from the royal palace led the reward procession to the academy in a mighty manner, many passers-by followed the procession and witnessed with their own eyes the palace's reward to the academy. They were all filled with emotion and their eyes were filled with emotion. Envy.

"The government has already rewarded you once, and the palace will reward you again. A gentleman is worth a hundred taels of silver. He will live a wealthy life this year."

"The chief of the mountain still has five hundred taels, which makes him even richer."

"No, even if I sell the iron to send it to the kids at home, it would be such an honor..."

When they learned that the families of the students who had passed the high school entrance examination could still go to the government office for a banquet, they became even more envious. They went home one by one and began to encourage their children. Those who thought that studying was a waste of money also changed. For a time, Yongcheng studied The atmosphere reached its peak, and the government took no time to open an academy to educate the little ones. The education was very low, but the teacher was good. As soon as the news was released, people came to consult and sign up...

"If the money to run the college is not enough, just tell me that the palace can allocate some."

Yan Mu'an hasn't gone out yet, and people below her in the bustle outside said that she imagined it. Mr. Yong smiled and said that it didn't cost much to run the academy, "The house is all ready-made, just some tables, chairs and benches, and it was simply repaired." "Fan, sir, my monthly income is not very much, so I can make it even if I just take some repairs."

Yan Mu'an smiled. It might not have been easy to run a school in the past. After all, half-year-old boys were also the family's labor force, and training was expensive and not everyone could afford it. Nowadays, the school atmosphere in the city is booming. At this time, the school is unveiled, and the tuition is still available. It's very low, so it's natural to receive students, not to mention it's run by the government.

The excitement in the city is still going on. The Chinese New Year is coming. Whether you have money or not, you have to celebrate the New Year. Merchants are at their busiest time. Shengde Commercial Bank has opened new stores in other cities. The goods are complete, high quality and low price. It is a grand occasion when it opens.
