Time flies, autumn goes to winter in a blink of an eye, another blink of an eye, winter goes to spring, and time has entered the sixteenth year of Chenghua.

Just after the first month, Fang Yingwu was called by Shang Xianggong to do special training again, probably because Shang Xianggong was worried that Fang Yingwu would be lazy and slack after the Spring Festival.

It lasted for half a month, and Fang Yingwu came out of Renshou Township Tiju Academy. On the way home, he passed by Qingxi Ferry, and there happened to be no boat at this time, so Fang Yingwu sat in the tea shed on the shore and waited slowly.

There are also other people in the tea shed who sit and chat, and Fang Yingwu is bored, so he listens to others at will. But I heard a small trader say: "There is a big family in our village recently, and I want to invite a gentleman to sit in the museum, and his family is very good there, which has attracted many people to apply." ”

The word "sitting" always felt very awkward in Fang Yingwu's ears. In my previous life, I had the impression that the word was closely related to the underworld, but in this era, sitting in a library meant that a scholar went to someone else's house to teach.

The little merchant continued: "An old gentleman who is more than half a hundred years old has also come, and he will ask for thirty taels of silver every Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Thirty taels every Chinese New Year's Eve!" There was an exclamation in the tea shed, which is really an unimaginably high salary for people who are begging for a living. Even Fang Yingwu was interested, and listened carefully.

The master asked, "Sir, what are you capable of daring to ask for thirty taels of shackles?" The old gentleman replied: The contemptible people have been learning and training children in the Huaxi Society for more than ten years, and the most likely talented person in the county has been trained by the county for ten years! ”

Burst! Fang Yingwu couldn't help but squirt out the tea in one gulp, and asked sideways, "Is the old gentleman surnamed Wang?" ”

The vendor replied in surprise: "How did the little minister know? Someone next to him urged the little trader: "Hurry up, and then what?" ”

"The host is very touched by the old man's ten-year cultivation!" The peddler's eyebrows fluttered, and he said, "Then he refused." Then the master said: Fang Yingwu is a good talent. But what are you, sir? A fifty-year-old child? ”

The crowd laughed and laughed in a cheerful atmosphere. When the boats reached the wharf, they got on the boats and crossed the river.

Fang Yingwu also shook his head and smiled bitterly. This old Mr. Wang, who dared to ask for thirty taels of bunches, was Sister Lan's father and the teacher of Huaxi Sociology. His old man's mind is quite lively, and it seems that he doesn't want to make a living in social studies, so he wants to find a local tyrant to support him.

Thinking about his character, Fang Yingwu felt that his behavior was not strange, just turn a blind eye to it. If his old man is really lucky and can find a blind local tyrant to support him, it will also be his fate.

Returning to the home where he left Banyue, Fang Daxiu pulled Concubine Lan Dunlun for a while. After the clouds and rain dispersed, he took Sister Lan in his arms. Say something homely.

Wang Lan remembered something and said, "The slave father came the day before yesterday to look for you. ”

"What's the matter with him?" Fang Yingwu asked. I guessed in my heart, do you want to pull yourself as a background to apply for a job?

"I heard that next month, the Great Grandmaster will press the Linyan Prefecture Mansion to open a hospital to test the children of each county. Father moved his mind and wanted to refer to it, if he could win the fame of a student and come back, it would be regarded as a glorious ancestor. ”

The Great Grandmaster has come to Yanzhou Mansion again? Fang Yingwu was a little surprised, and recently buried himself in reading. Don't ask about foreign affairs, and some news doesn't pay attention to it. However, in addition to the township test, it doesn't matter if you pay attention to other exam news or not.

He then sighed with emotion, time flies so fast. In the first two or three years, I went to take the county and government exams by myself. In the end, the situation of taking the middle school examination presided over by the great grandmaster seems to be vivid.

As if in the blink of an eye, this is a new reincarnation? There is another batch of rookie shows before they come out.

After Fang Yingwu thought about it, he couldn't help but smile: "His old man is over half a hundred years old. What kind of talent is going to be tested at this age, it's really an old man talking about juvenile madness. ”

"I had been taking the exam for so many years. has been missing, and it is also dead. But in recent years, my father-in-law and you have achieved fame one after another. His mind was lively again, and he said that it was the time when Huaxi's feng shui fortune was flourishing recently, and he couldn't miss this hospital exam. ”

Didn't Wang Shushi ask for a high salary of thirty taels, and became angry after being ridiculed? Fang Yingwu thought very disrespectfully.

Speaking of which, Sister Lan revealed the true meaning of Master Wang Shu: "Father heard that you and the Great Grandmaster know each other, and there is also a friendship between teachers and students, so I want to ask you to ask the Great Grandmaster for personal favors and let him take the test." ”

Wang Shushi originally had this in mind, Fang Yingwu felt that the old man was just messing around, did he still want to pull him to mess around?

He thought about it and sighed, and politely refused: "The Great Grandmaster mentioned that in the whole province, every county in the hundred or so counties has a student who he has selected, adding up to at least hundreds. And I'm just one of these hundreds, what's so special about me that I can influence the talent candidates? ”

Sister Lan was silent, a little disappointed in her heart, she knew that failing to pass the exam was her father's knot for decades, who would want to be in the name of an old boy for a lifetime.

Fang Yingwu stroked Sister Lan'er's smooth back and patiently explained: "You also know that August this year is the township exam, and the Grand Master is the most important exam, how precious is the favor between you and the Grand Grandmaster at this time?"

As the so-called good steel should be used on the blade, if you ask for favors for your father's talent, it is a bit of a waste. Then when I talk about the township test, how can I speak? Isn't it a kick on the nose and in the face?

I really haven't been familiar with the Grand Master to this extent. You say, is it important for Fujun Township to take the exam, or is it important for your father to take the exam? What's more, he is fifty years old, even if he is admitted to Xiucai, what future does he have? Just when I'm preparing for the township exam wholeheartedly, it's better not to drag me around? ”

"Hmm." Sister Lan nodded obediently and agreed: "The husband's township test is a big deal, and the rest of the things can't affect this." ”

Fang Yingwu put down the matter on the side of Wang Shushi, and thought of himself again, "But you reminded me that when the Great Grandmaster arrived in Fucheng, I should indeed visit."

Relationships are all out of motion, if you don't try it, how can you know how many favors there are? At the very least, you should test the attitude of the Great Grandmaster, and you can't sit and expect pie to fall from the sky. ”

As soon as Fang Yingwu's thought moved, the gears of fate rolled again.

In the imperial examination of the National Dynasty, the township examination was called Qiuqiu, and the meeting examination was called Chunqiu, which was the only two other names for the examination with the word "闱", and other examinations did not have this treatment.

The word 闱 has the meaning of being closed, which shows the status of the township examination and the general examination in the entire imperial examination, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the two most critical examinations.

Take the township examination as an example, the entire township examination process can be called an extremely complex system engineering, from the examiner, examination affairs, examination questions, evaluation, and ranking have strict to precise regulations. In the face of this rigorous procedure, no one dares to say that they are 100% successful before the exam.

For example, in this year's Zhejiang Township Examination, the chief examiner is Li Shishi, the deputy envoy for learning, but the deputy chief examiner is sent down from the capital, and the candidate is currently unknown, and no one can be found through the back door.

There are also examiners with the same examiner, and ten people must be selected from among the instructors in the province by the governor, the political department, and the inspector, and the examination will be graded separately.

Don't assume that the most famous examiner will be able to overshadow everything. The test papers of each candidate must be randomly assigned to each room first, and the examiner is responsible for the preliminary marking and screening out the candidate test papers, but the same examiner can only look at the test papers in his own room, and it is strictly forbidden to look at the test papers in other rooms. Who knows which room your exam papers will be dropped into?

The examiner can only choose whether to be successful among the ten candidate papers submitted by the same examiner, which can only be regarded as the second trial, and does not have the power to screen the test papers on a large scale.

However, the examiner is not without a way to restrain the same examiner, the examiner can take the initiative to go to each room to search for papers, in order to check and fill in the gaps, or to pick out the test papers that seem to be their own people, but this still needs to be lucky.

As for the exam questions, it is decided by the examiner and the supervisor who temporarily turn the book, and who can get all the exam questions?

As for the ranking of the township examination, after the marking is completed and the number of successful candidates is sufficient, the chief examiner will make a public decision in the lobby in front of the deputy examiner, the same examiner, the promotion officer, and the supervisor officer. In front of everyone's eyes, it is also very difficult to get a good ranking by going through the back door.

Needless to say, the guiding ideology of the township examination is tantamount to taking the trouble to treat everyone as a thief, which is definitely not comparable to the exams that Fang Yingwu has encountered in the past.

Presumably, people who are not familiar with the township examination can only have a big head after reading all the rules of the exam. But at least it should be seen that in the township examination, the examiners are restrained by each other, and there are many uncontrollable random factors in the middle.

Therefore, it is difficult to operate through the back door to achieve a 100% success rate, and the specific success rate depends on how many joints are opened.

If you want to be 100% sure that you can be lifted, there is only one way, that is, to open up the joints of all the examiners of the chief and deputy examiners, a dozen or so fellow examiners, supervisors and probationers, and at the same time not leak any rumors.

But in reality, this is obviously impossible, and no one can do it. If you can be 50% sure, that is super strength.

After Fang Yingwu studied the township examination procedure, he guessed in his heart that the original intention of the design of the examination system of the National Dynasty probably had this meaning - the human joint factor could not be stopped at all, so the system design was so complicated that no one could fully grasp it was to go through the back door, and it was also necessary to gamble on luck.

What he has to do now is not only to study, but also to find a way to operate, and both internal and external cultivation and two-pronged approach is the king.

The high-end method is to start directly from the joints of the examiner, the supervisor and the promotion officer, get the exam questions, affect the judgment papers, etc., and the low-end road is nothing more than to clip the smuggling and bribe the miscellaneous sergeant.

After Fang Yingwu weighed his strengths and weaknesses, he decided that it was better to take the high-end route, and he couldn't afford to lose that person by taking the low-end route. (To be continued......)
