New progress has been made in the production of cotton-padded clothes. Master cotton craftsmen have pressed quilted cotton with different thicknesses, and embroiderers can directly fill it and use it, and can also cut it.The outer layer is made of thicker fabric, and the inner layer is made of lighter fabric.In order to prevent the cotton from running around, they sewed the clothes in a piece-by-piece pattern, with a horizontal line and a vertical line.Generally speaking, it is very similar to the current cotton down jacket.

Shi Qingwan and the others liked the newly made cotton skirt and trousers very much, and took them home as gifts.

Chen Fan drew a picture book and asked the embroiderers to follow suit.

Zhang Ci received a letter from Fei Ge, saying it was news from the students.

"How is it? Have you passed all the exams?" Chen Zhonglin was the most anxious, and when he saw Zhang Ci nodding, he jumped up happily: "Oh, I passed all the exams!"

"Why are you so calm today?" Chen Ya asked Chen Zhongzhu.

Chen Zhongzhu smiled innocently: "I just think they will definitely pass the exam."

Chen Zhonglin was not happy, and shook him in his arms: "Tell it like I don't believe them."

After entering the room, Chen Fan hugged Zhang Ci: "My husband is really amazing, all the students have obtained the eligibility for the exam."

Zhang Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, they haven't been delayed."

"That Zhang Yu finally passed the exam, it's really not easy."

Zhang Ci chuckled: "Being scolded by the seventh brother, I have been very humble since then."

"When they come back, give them a certificate. No matter if they fail in the middle of next year, they can become the official teachers of Changping Academy." Chen Fan has always hoped that the academy has an official teaching team, the kind that issues letters of appointment.

"Perhaps the imperial court will issue a certificate," Zhang Ci said.

Chen Fan looked at him suspiciously.

"I told my father about this idea, and he may reflect it to the higher authorities."

This is a big deal, will it work?

Before the students came back, the official messenger to announce the good news arrived first.

They first arrived at Xiangjun Mansion with drums and gongs, and Chen Fan's family lit firecrackers to welcome them.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiang, congratulations to Mr. Xiang, Changping Township has done very well in the exam this time. All the [-] students referred to have passed the provincial exam next year." The leading fat officer said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir, for your hard work." Everyone welcomed the official into the yard and poured sugar water.

"I heard that Changping Academy has only been in operation for two years?" asked the fat official.

Zhang Ci nodded and said with a smile: "Changping Academy, which is only available in Changping Township, accepted a total of [-] students who had studied and prepared for the imperial examination. Last year, three more students were added. I will serve as the dean of the academy and lead the students. Let's study. Thanks to Mr. Cui and the others for coming, they have given a lot of guidance to the students."

The fat official smiled happily: "Mr. Zhang must be very knowledgeable to attract Mr. Cui and the others. Mr. Cui is taking the exam in the capital this time, and he has not received any news yet. Mr. Wu and the others did very well in the exam. Within ten."

The tall official next to him said: "The students in Changping Township are also very high-ranking, and they are very famous in the state city."

Qin Zheng came over with a few purses, and Zhang Ci stuffed them into the hands of the officials: "You officers have worked hard all the way, buy a cup of tea." Golden melon seeds or golden beans?

The five officials respectively followed the nurses to the village to report.

Every village was boiling, and everyone who was at home went to congratulate.Zhang Yu's wife wept with joy when she heard the news, and hurriedly turned around to wipe her tears.

The officials sent a round of happy news and received a round of red envelopes in a lively manner.

"Did these [-] families negotiate a deal? The money they gave was actually the same." The officials compared all the money.

"They might have gotten the news in advance and discussed it."

"We came here quickly, so they got the news so quickly? Also, the farthest distance between them is tens of miles, so it would take a long time to run around to get news, right?"

"Perhaps there are customary rules in Changping Township. Regardless of whether it's a coincidence or something, they give more money than other places." The fat official grinned, "That township gentleman is really rich."

Han Yu came back and said that all the sweet potatoes in Houyuan Farm had been dug up. Although the yield per mu was not as good as that in Changping Township, there were still two to three thousand catties.Coupled with the bumper harvest of corn and rice, the villagers' life is guaranteed for a year.

"The villagers are smiling every day now, and they are very obedient. They can do whatever they are asked to do seriously." Han Yu beamed with joy.

"There are no prickly and lazy ones?" Chen Fan challenged with a smile.

"Who cares about being a thorn in the face of money and food? They are all tenants. After leaving Houyuan Village, where else can they go? Even if they want to be lazy, don't they still have a whip?"

The students came back by boat, and the villagers went to the pier to greet them.

Chen Jian and the others didn't come and went back to their home.

The students walked up the embankment amidst the sound of gongs and drums, walked up to Zhang Ci, bowed deeply, and said in unison: "Students, thank you teacher for your cultivation! Thank you Xiangjun for running the academy!"

Zhang Ci raised his voice and said, "Congratulations to you for obtaining the provincial examination qualifications, and I wish you high school scholarships next year!"

The people cheered enthusiastically, and the students held their heads up confidently.

Zhang Ci took a handful of certificates from Chen Zhongzhu: "The Xiangjun Mansion will issue certificates to you, and you are the eternal sons of Changping Township!"

Forever?The scholars understood in seconds and saluted again to thank you.

The paper of the certificate is very good, and there is a red cover.

Every time Zhang Ci issued a certificate, the villagers applauded enthusiastically, setting off the atmosphere very well.

It's just a pity that I couldn't take pictures of them at this time.

The Xiangjun Mansion also arranged an ox cart to take them home this time, and the students and their families happily went back in the ox cart.

Chen Zhongyan teased Chen Fan: "Eldest sister really adapts to local conditions, every time she stands on the pier and holds the ceremony."

"Why don't we find another time to lay a red carpet in front of Xiangjun's Mansion?" Chen Fan looked at everyone: "Going from Xiangjun's Mansion to the pier to greet them is considered a distant welcome and very grand. The welcome is over, the award is here, the timing is just right, and the mood is just right."

Zhang Ci added: "Their families are all here, and the villagers are all there. This is the busiest time. Call someone over in two days, they may not have the energy."

"Oh—" the children groaned strangely.

A few days later, an official came to deliver the document and said the relevant policies about juren.

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci: "Did you really do this? Was the process smooth?"

Zhang Ci smiled: "I don't know the specific process, but there have always been many people who are concerned about the major imperial examinations. If you want to do better, it depends on the right time, place and people to make suggestions."

Zhongshuling talked with Su Wenjing, Minister of Rites, and suggested that the identity of the child is valid for life.Su Shangshu integrated various previous opinions and gave a memorial to the emperor.

There are more people in the court who agree.With the status of Juzi, those who want to continue to take the Jinshi exam can take the exam, and don't need to take another round of state exams, saving manpower and material resources; those who don't want to continue the exam can always be a teacher or a teacher.

Regarding the rights enjoyed by candidates, the courtiers discussed one by one, aiming to attract more talents to take the imperial examination.

The emperor approved several proposals, ordered the Ministry of Rites to formulate detailed regulations, and then continued the discussion.When the results of the state examinations in various states are about to be announced, the plan has finally been introduced.

Zhongshu Sheng quickly drafted an imperial edict and sent it to the states with the approval of the emperor.
