Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

In the first scientific examination of the new dynasty, the examination room was different from the past. In the past, in order to prevent cheating, it was used for one person and one small room. After several days of examinations, eating and drinking were in this cubicle. After reporting to the examiner, someone took him. Going to the hut, if anyone's examination room is close to the hut, then the taste goes without saying.

If it rains, some places that are out of repair will still leak.

Some candidates are getting older, and they may lose their lives after they leave the examination room.

There have been people who died directly in the examination room before.

The weather has cooled down at this time, and it's winter, but it hasn't snowed yet.

Lin Yuan asked someone to light a brazier in the examination room, and servants would clean it every day. The hut was not built in the examination room, and a wooden door was installed to block the odor.

At noon, there are servants who bring meals in. They are all uniformly prepared food, two steamed buns, and a plate of stewed dishes with meat and vegetables inside.

But because of this, Song Shizhao and the others have done stricter confidentiality work.

It used to be an essay for three days, and the reason why candidates were not allowed to go out was to prevent them from cheating.

There is no such worry now.

Because there is only one test a day and only one essay a day.

Although candidates cannot go out at night, the examination room will provide quilts and supper. The supper is also simple, only steamed buns and fermented bean curd.

Candidates raise their hands to indicate when they are hungry, not to eat if they are not hungry, it depends on their choice.

But this year I didn't take the math test, only the people's livelihood, and they were all propositional compositions.

The first test is for "merchants."

With only these two words, how to answer depends on the examinee's own perspective.

Everyone looks at things from a different perspective and answers differently. Maybe there are really suggestions that can be implemented.

Lin Yuan even took a look at it.

Because it is an obscure scroll, and the font is uniformly required, unless someone is particularly familiar with it, it is impossible to help who is who.

Lin Yuan turned a little bit, disappointed.

Most of them are clichés, some sing praises to him, and some express that businessmen are chasing profits, not benefiting the country, and harmful to the people.

Very few are truly knowledgeable.

Lin Yuan turned to the middle and scanned a few lines before stopping to take a closer look.

This examinee’s perspective is different from others. He sees the “economy” from the “merchants”, and from the local “economy” to the national “economy”.

He didn't express much, but he was very clear and organized.

First, it lists the benefits that merchants are valued.

Then listed the disadvantages.

Finally, based on these reasons, what should be restricted for merchants without hindering economic growth.

Lin Yuan saw what he meant.

Although it is still very immature and there is no systematic theory yet, what he mentioned is indeed the basic national macro-control.

Lin Yuan called Song Shizhao and Song Lian.

"Look at this one." Lin Yuan handed the test paper to Erliang, and then handed it to Song Shizhao and the others.

After Song Shizhao and Song Lian circulated them, their faces were different.

"This candidate must be from a family." Song Lian said categorically.

Lin Yuan asked him: "Why do you see it?"

Song Lian: "The characters are strong and neat, and they are like people. They are self-contained. They are free and easy without losing their edge. They must be practiced since childhood."

The time for the children of the common people to practice handwriting is definitely not as good as the children of the aristocracy.

After all, the teacher of a private school is very good, and it is even more impossible to teach it by hand.

At this time, people think that human beings are one character, and a person with good characters cannot be bad.

For the same reason, there is also a heart-to-heart relationship. For example, Chu Lin, because of his good-looking looks, everyone thinks that he cannot be a bad person.

Lin Yuan sometimes feels that these people are scheming.

Sometimes I think they are naive.

At least most people do.

"Let him be a flower hunter," Lin Yuan said.

Song Shizhao and the others could not refuse the emperor's order.

And they also know that this time the scientific expedition, the champion will definitely not come out of the family.

It's not even possible.

Most likely, they were from ordinary people or from a family of farming and reading.

Only in this way, ordinary people will feel that fame is very close to themselves.

This will encourage more people from outside the family to study.

Most of the people are like this. They can see the benefits, and as long as there are benefits, they are willing to do it.

Lin Yuan thinks such people are very cute.

If the people are really content with the status quo and have no desires or desires, then he will really have a headache.

I just don't know, will this aristocratic son of Tanhua feel honored or humiliated?

It's hard to tell, right?

The second round of examination is "household registration".

The candidates' articles focused on female households.

Some people think that women should not be established, because this will breed women's ambitions, they will not be able to play the role of wife and mother, they will find ways to seize greater power and more wealth, so that men will be more difficult, because before They only need to compete with men, and now they have to compete with women.

And in the end, many of them believed that female households would cause social unrest and make people’s lives more difficult.

To put it bluntly, it is fear.

They fear this system, fear this change.

And they have to maintain their power.

Lin Yuan drew the test paper again.

This time, the exam paper that refreshed him was very interesting.

This examinee believes that female households are only a small part of the household registration.

Household registration should not be based on a family unit, but a person as a unit. Everyone should have a household registration, so that the country can know more about the number of people, men and women in a country. Large households in each city cannot have hidden households, and hidden households are only granted to large households. Silver does not pay taxes to the state.

At the same time, it is also proposed that people should have proof of identity, and only with the proof can they move to buy a house and buy land, and be able to get married and work.

This is also beneficial to taxation, and it can even prevent the existence of hidden households.

His organization is not clear, but Lin Yuan still understands it.

After three days of the exam, Song Shizhao and the others selected it and presented it to Lin Yuan in the test paper.

There are many test papers for each proposition, and Lin Yuan wants to select a hundred of them to enter the palace.

The name had been cut open, and Lin Yuan could see the candidates' names.

Because many candidates have the same name and surname, the location will be added before the name, and the street name will be added to the city name.

Some people were afraid that the street would be hit, and wrote their rankings at home.

It has been a month since Lin Yuan was elected.

Because he had to look at each one for himself, Song Shizhao and the others chose to have real talents.

The number of people was almost as Lin Yuan imagined.

Han Ling lives in an inn. The inn is full of examinees. The inn has gathered here. Since the exam, the inn has been extremely lively. They talk about your majesty's exam questions every day, and some people are arguing about it. Fight hard.

Some sang when they were drunk, and the innkeeper was not angry, and looked at them with a smile every day.

Although there is not much money, there are few people who are short of money when doing business in the capital. What is the point of earning such quick money?

Now the boss only wants a name, as long as one of these candidates can get a middle-class scholar, his business in the inn will never be bad in the future.

Everyone wants to be happy.

If there are more people, it will be even better!

When the waiter came to announce people, all the candidates looked at the waiter expectantly, as if the waiter was not a person, but a golden bun.

The waiter sang: "Han Ling, a student from Yizhou on Daning Road, Liaoyang, OK, can you be here?"

Han Ling's eyes widened.

The fellow villagers around him all looked at him.

Han Ling's hands and feet were soft, and his face flushed. He shouted, "Yes! The students are!"

Then he staggered to the front of the servant.

The servant smiled and said, "Your Majesty has called for you to enter the palace in three days. You can wait at the gate of the palace and someone will lead you in."

Han Ling's legs softened and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Long live my emperor!"

The servant didn't look at him, and was about to take the people away, when a student shouted out from behind, "My lord! Did you miss someone?"

The attendant smiled and shook his head: "No, this inn only has Young Master Han selected. You can wait for the list."

As long as you enter the palace exam, you must come out of first class.

Although the top two and top three are all Jinshi, the gap between Jinshi and Jinshi is huge.

Especially the top three, with Jinshi, the status is the lowest.

Many people even prefer not to be in the middle and fight again after three years, rather than being a fellow Jinshi.

In the same jinshi, there are very few who can be extremely human.

One is lucky, and the ancestors bless you.

Han Ling was still lying on the ground, his fellow countryman helped him up, Han Ling's cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were bright.

The fellow villagers sighed: "See you later, I will call you an adult."

Han Ling realized that he was a little forgetful, and said quickly: "No matter what happens in the future, we are all brothers."

Although the fellow villagers are sad, they still have the spirit. After all, although they can't become a first-class scholar, there is still hope for the second-class.

As for the top three...

They are also a little at a loss.

It's a blessing to be admitted, so it doesn't matter which one is.

Haven't you seen that there are still many gray-haired talents?I didn't get a candidate for a lifetime.

Those who can pick the top three must be the princes of high-ranking families.

People like them are not picky.

There was a Han Ling from an inn, and Han Ling suddenly became a strange person, and students who had never dealt with before came to ask him.

Ask him how to answer the test questions.

Han Ling said briefly.

The man began to beat his chest and feet: "I regret it! I regret it!"

Han Ling asked carefully before realizing that this person was off the subject.

In addition to this person, there are other students who come to ask for advice.

Either they always praised your Majesty, or they felt that they should not give merchants preferential treatment.

The innkeeper and You Rongyan paid out of their pockets to invite the students to drink for three days in the inn. Han Ling's expenses were also returned by the boss.

Han Ling repeatedly refused, and the boss said: "My son doesn't know, I have you in this store. Why don't you worry about no money, you are bound to come here! Don't worry, son and I will benefit from each other and we will not owe each other."

Han Ling had no choice but to get the money back and made up his mind to pass the money to the boss when he checked out.

He doesn't know what ranking he will get, but since he has entered the palace exam, he has to show all he has learned, so as not to pay for the hard work of these years.

The students in the capital were drunk for three days, and there was wine on the road.

There are also painters who put this scene into the painting and passed it down for thousands of years.
