Chapter 326: Everything is ready for the Ming Dynasty Public Examination

No matter whether the students were happy or jumping around in response to the notice from the Ministry of Rites, in the end all they could do was to be honest and obedient.

If you really have a background and a backer, you don't have to go to such an occasion to grab food.

Therefore, what else can a student do except bow his head?

Then, the entire Yingtian Mansion fell into an unprecedented frenzy.

The officials of the six departments who were not taken seriously by the students in the past are now busy one by one.

The students are not stupid, and they quickly figured out the root cause of the current recruitment examination.

To put it bluntly, what the yamen needs are low-level officials who can work as soon as they come and work as coolies.

In the past, after taking the imperial examination, you first went to the Imperial Academy to become a noble official in reading and writing. It was completely different from this time.

So, if you want to know the specific procedures for applying for yamen and applying for positions, don't you have to go to these lowest-level officials?

They may seem inconspicuous in ordinary times, but in fact, these officials who have been working in a certain yamen for a long time actually live more comfortably than most people imagine.

In the yamen, as long as they know how to behave, they can do better than some ninth- and eighth-grade petty officials.

Because of their origins, they basically do not seek progress in the officialdom, and they will only be in the eighth or ninth grade after they die.

This is the result of the smoke rising from the ancestral graves.

Therefore, they have been doing the heaviest work for many years, running errands and doing chores.

But precisely because of this, it is really difficult for ordinary powerless officials to handle them.

After all, maybe your boss and your boss's boss were already familiar with this official when he was just a junior official who was just transferred from Hanlin.

If you accidentally offend this official, you are likely to offend not only the officials as a group, but also your boss and your boss's boss.

After understanding these things, you can understand why these students came to the door like crazy.

Only these officials who have worked in a certain yamen for many years are the most familiar with the grassroots work of a certain yamen.

Various processes, various methods, various rules, they may not be elegant enough or even vulgar.

But if you can find the right way or be polite and get them to tell the truth...then what you hear will definitely be true insights.

With this excitement, the Rites Department slowly began to enter the work process.

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette looked at the registration books in their hands, simply counted them, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

What they were most worried about before was that no one applied for some positions!

Although there is always a shortage of officials, if that happens, the blame will fall on them.

But when the application period was over, the Ministry of Etiquette came up with statistics, and hey, it was pretty good.

Whether it is the Sixth Ministry, Dali Temple, or county government and other low-level official positions, not only are there students applying for them, but the competition for some positions is so fierce that it is simply jaw-dropping.

Everyone knows that the positions in the yamen such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are inherently half a level higher than those in other yamen.

But since everyone knows it, in the end we can only find out in the examination room.

Just looking at the names on the pages of the registration book in hand, all the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette felt their scalps go numb.

When I was taking the imperial examination, I didn't see my competitors so intuitively.

You know, there are countless positions that are vacant in a yamen.

Therefore, if you apply for an inappropriate position by mistake, there will be no way out if something goes wrong.

But the officials who responded did not say a word except for smacking their lips and sighing. What's there to say?

Didn't they pass the exam all the way in order to become officials?

Although the competition for official recruitment is a bit fierce now, was it possible that it was easier for them to achieve success back then?

Is it good to pass five levels and kill six generals again and again?

The officials from the Ministry of Rites sighed with emotion, but now they had to run to other yamen.

Because they have to think about the question now.

Writing official documents is not bad.

The officials in the Ministry of Rites were familiar with the matter and were able to pick out some of the imperial examination questions, and then combine them with some of the official document requirements of their actual work to produce a large number of them at will.

The key is that each yamen has different "professional questions", so you have to go to each major yamen to ask for someone.

Fortunately, this is a good thing after all, everyone can take some credit, and all the yamen did not refuse to do it.

Of course, those who come will have to follow the rules of the Ministry of Etiquette, and they will have room and board here until the end of the exam.

In just two days, the first edition of professional examination questions was released.

For an official who has never worked in the Ministry of Rites, this feeling is quite new.

At the same time, they also feel the benefits of this "new examination".

Different yamen and different positions have different test questions, which greatly eliminates the possibility of fraud.

After all, when it comes to cheat sheets, you have to have answers that you can refer to.

You don’t even have a rough answer. You bring a cheat sheet. What do you write on it?

Moreover, with this new type of recruitment examination, the imperial court could also select professional talents.

At least this is the first time I see officials in this form. It is generally believed that officials elected in this way must be better than those nerds.

You know, even if you are a new scholar, you will have to spend several years in the Imperial Academy.

In the past few years, it seems that I have been spending a lot of time reading and writing, but in fact, those who are dedicated are always studying.

Through those years of study and familiarity, they can get started immediately once they are assigned to other yamen.

Otherwise, you will still be scolded after entering.

Now this seems good to them. Even if they pass the written examination, candidates still need to be interviewed if they want to pass the official selection.

This can be said to be a very fair examination.

After thinking about it, the officials will have to give a thumbs up to Mr. Hu at this time!
This thing is really not something that ordinary people can figure out!
The next day, after transcribing it again, several officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the Jiaofang Division again.

But what made them depressed was that it was almost noon before they saw Mr. Hu, who was belatedly arriving.

With a dark face, he handed the sealed test questions to Mr. Hu, and the officials didn't want to say anything more.

Mr. Hu didn't pay attention. He smiled and took out the test questions and started reading.

"Well, yes, it's quite professional. At least it's much better than those imperial examination questions!"

Hearing Mr. Hu's praise, everyone was relieved, but they never thought that Mr. Hu would turn around and pick up the brush beside him and start writing.

"Well, I will add more, it will be better!"

All the officials didn't dare to say a word when they saw this. They had no choice but to get used to it!
