Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 229
The Yan Cen at this time, compared to the glamorous one when he was in the academy, is really a world of difference.Although he was still wearing the blue muslin gown that he wore in the academy, he didn't know whether he often rolled on the ground or where he went to dawdle. In addition, he has a thin and tall image with only a handful of bones left. At first glance, he looks like a beggar on the street.

At this time, his eyes did not look at Du Jinning, but at the few shantytown students who came out of the county school, with a face full of remorse and loneliness.

Du Jinning didn't look much, and he didn't want to meet Yan Cen again, so he just turned off from the alley next to him.

She can understand Yan Cen's mood at the moment.

Each county can only have a quota of [-] catering students.These twenty people can not only receive six dou of rice every month, but also four taels of silver at the end of each year.In addition, because the granary students can vouch for the candidates in the children's examination, guaranteeing that they will not have any illegal activities such as impostors and impostors, each child's examination is a great opportunity for them to make money.

Du Jinning doesn't know how much the outside charges are, but she knows that the housekeepers of Boyue Academy guarantee the candidates of this academy, and one person always has to pay one tael of silver for the hard work of the guarantee. written regulations.

Although Guan Lehe disapproved of this practice, Mr. Zuo was poor, blocking people's money was like killing parents, so he turned a blind eye to this phenomenon.

In Lishui County, 600 to 20 students take the exam each time, but there are only [-] shanty students.Of course, the five candidates can also guarantee each other, but this is risky.Those who are not familiar with it would rather spend money to have a janitor serve as a guarantor than mutual insurance with others.It is conceivable that after a trial of children's students, how much money can be made by the janitor.

At the beginning, Guan Lehe let the county magistrate and the county school deprive Yan Cen of his qualifications as a shanty student, and then kicked him out of the academy. His punishment was not light.

It's no wonder that Yan Cen was saddened to see other janitors getting rich today while hiding in a corner by himself.

"I told you to go to the bookstore to get books, why did you come here? Hurry up and follow me back." A woman appeared beside Yan Cen at some point, and walked back while twisting his ears.

"Oh, lady, don't screw it up, can I go by myself?" Yan Cen's expression changed drastically when he saw this woman, and he didn't dare to resist at all, and followed back home obediently.

……

The county examination lasted for four days. Taking advantage of the college holiday, Du Jinning sent them to the examination room every morning, so he took the opportunity to busy himself with his own affairs.

Guan Lehe had already bought the tea garden, and the land deed was handed over to Du Jinning together with the remaining 100 taels of silver from the purchase of the tea garden.On the day when he got the title deed, Du Jinning immediately hired a mule cart and went to see it with Qin Laoliu.

The tea garden is outside the city, about ten miles away from the city, at the southern foot of a small hill.The altitude of the mountain is not high, but it is more than 300 meters, and the slope is not very steep. The land is fertile and slightly acidic, which is very suitable for tea gardens.

However, this small hillside was originally a wasteland, covered with weeds and trees, and it took a lot of work to organize it into a tea garden.

Fortunately, there is a small mountain village not far from this hillside, with about a hundred families.Du Jinning and Qin Laoliu went to find Li Zheng, and when they talked about the hiring, Li Zheng naturally agreed.

Although Qin Lao Liu is an idler, he is quite capable in doing things.What he is best at is dealing with people.It was just a few drinks, and Li Zheng treated him like his own brother, and even the thorns in the village admired him. Not only did he not make trouble, but he also sincerely helped to advise and manage others.

Seeing this, Du Jinning was completely relieved, and told Qin Lao Liu in detail how to repair the hillside. He also bought a lot of sheep manure and other fertilizers from the villagers, and asked Qin Lao Liu to bury them in the ground as base fertilizer after digging the ridges. He called Zhang Gou'er to run errands for Qin Laoliu.In addition to buying a batch of labor tools, she gave Qin Lao Liu another ten taels of silver for daily expenses, and then let go of it, only waiting for the villagers to settle their wages once every ten days on a holiday.

Before leaving, she told Qin Laoliu again: "Watch carefully when they are working, and write down carefully what they are honest and willing to do. Our tea garden needs to hire people for daily management. When the tea garden is completed After that, you pick out five people to serve them all year round and pay them monthly.”

Looking at the respectful and flattering eyes of those villagers, Qin Lao Liu felt a kind of pleasure from a superior that he had never felt before.Hearing that I still have the right to pick people from the villagers and change the fate of others, this feeling is even stronger.

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Du, I will definitely do the job well, and I won't make you worry about it."

Ever since he drank that time, he changed Brother Du to Young Master Du again, and he regarded Du Jinning as the master.Du Jinning didn't ask him to change it.

In the workplace, there is always a need for superiority and inferiority.

The tea garden was arranged, and the county examination was over. We just waited for the county magistrate to change the papers, and the results would be released in three or four days.

"I see that you didn't do much body search when you went in. Isn't it afraid that someone will cheat in the examination room?" When comforting Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan, and Xu Chengyuan in the tavern on the evening of the second day, Du Jinning took the opportunity to ask his doubts.

"There are more than 30 people in the county government, including small officials and servants, plus more than ten people from the county school. They patrol the examination room with the county elders. If they see cheating, they will be arrested immediately. Depending on the seriousness of the case , or deprive of participation qualifications for several sessions, or never give the exam, or the descendants will not be allowed to take the exam, the punishment is extremely strict. Think about it, if you fail the exam, it will be fine. ? It’s not worth taking such a big risk if you fail the exam once and try again next time.”

"Then are there any officials cheating with the candidates?" Du Jinning asked again.

In the history of the foodie country, fraud cases in examination rooms have been repeatedly banned.

Guan Jiaze gave her a look of contempt: "Didn't you see that the magistrate of Lin County is the invigilator today? The deputy invigilator is also the county magistrate from another county. And whoever invigilates which county is the head of the exam." It was only a day before the provincial government notified you. You don’t even know who the invigilator is, and the invigilator and the deputy invigilator are still supervising each other, so where is there any chance of collusion and cheating?”

He took a bite of the food, and continued to educate Du Jinning: "And the officials cheated together, and the punishment was only worse than that of the examinees. Candidates were only banned from the exam, but officials were slaughtered all over the house, and the tribe was exiled and banned for generations. The invigilator cheated, and the deputy If the invigilator does not find out, he will be punished for sitting down; Provincial officials?"

　Everyone said that they wanted to see the heroine take part in the imperial examination, so I changed the rules of the examination. The main reason is to increase the punishment, so as to prevent the occurrence of fraud from the root, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the heroine taking off her clothes during the examination.Do you think this is reasonable?
