Idle courtiers

Chapter 290

Such things as college entrance examination immigrants are too common in later generations.

For example, in Shandong and Hubei provinces with major college entrance examinations, there are too many excellent students, and the number of places available for admission is really limited.Every summer, there are many people who hate the exam room. With their own grades, they can easily get into Beiqingfu in other provinces and cities, but because you were born in the wrong place, you can only take the ordinary 211.

As a result, many parents have used their brains on household registration for the sake of their children's future.

This is not difficult, many provinces and cities have reached an abnormal level of desire for outstanding talents.As long as you, a parent, have a college degree or above, we will welcome you with open arms.

However, there is also a threshold for admission, and this threshold is money.If you want to settle in this city, you must have a house. This is two or three million life coins!In Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, a two-bedroom school district apartment costs tens of millions.

This matter was simple in ancient times, even in the capital city.If you don't pay attention to the quality of life and just want a tile to cover your head, a set of old and small ones in the outer city will only cost a few dozen taels of silver.

However, the ancients all had their hometown plots, the so-called hometown is hard to leave.Your personal connections and school status are all in your hometown. Going to a place where you are not familiar is simply equivalent to immigrating from later generations. You have to start from scratch, so you have to be cautious.

Moreover, unlike modern people who can travel around the world with a single bank card, the main assets of a family are land and houses. It is not so easy to realize these things, and it will get a bad reputation as a prodigal son.

Of course, if you go to other places to be an official, especially if you are such a high-ranking official who guards one side, it is difficult for others to say anything when you bring your family there.Your personal connections are all in the officialdom and will not change due to migration.As for student status, is it not easy for you, an official, to handle it properly?

In this way, the college entrance examination immigrants like Zhou Nan and Xu's family were actually very rare in the Ming Dynasty.

The Xu family in Changping, or the offshoot of the Xu family in Suizhou, Henan, is still powerful in officialdom.Xu Yangda went to Duan Tixue to make a fuss, thinking that he would come to Xuezheng Yamen for the sake of his second uncle Xu Buzhengshi, maybe he would not do anything to him, at most he would be expelled.

Sure enough, just as he was talking, Shen Ning's family ran over: "Young Master, Xu Yangda and more than 50 Changping scholars went to the Xuezheng Yamen to make trouble, and they were beaten out by the Yamen servants. Many of them had their heads broken and passed out. A lot of blood."

"Si..." Zhou Nan took a breath, hurting someone in a group incident, which is troublesome.

Shen Ning asked again: "How is Xu Yangda doing?"

The family replied: "Xu Shusheng is timid, young master, don't look at him aggressively when he goes, but when the servants show his guy, he turns pale when he sees the blood, and runs away with a yell. As soon as he ran away , the Changping scholars had no leader, and they all dispersed in an instant."

Speaking of this, he laughed: "The little one is worried, so he ran over with the Changping people to see, young master, guess what happened?"

Shen Ning: "You scumbag, you dare to trick this young master, just say it straight."

The family said: "I went to take a look, and saw that the scholars were all complaining around Xu Yangda, saying, 'Brother Xu, you have no loyalty. I agreed to ask the academic officials for an explanation, so why did I run away first? We are ashamed to be with you if we don’t take care of you like that.” “Xu Yangda, we misunderstood you.” Someone even stopped him, pointed at the blood on his head and told him to pay for the medicine.”

"Poor Xu Yangda, he was almost crying when he was scolded by his companions."

"Haha, haha, everyone, don't look at Changping people who seem to be monolithic on weekdays, but it's really despicable to scatter like birds and beasts when something happens!" Shen Ning laughed loudly.

The others also laughed and stomped their feet: "You still say that the Day of the Dead is just now, haha, this is an exaggeration! Only when you are in trouble can you see a person's integrity."

"Yes, yes, it turns out that Changping scholars are a bunch of cowardly trash! Let's see if they will dare to be rampant when they see us Miyun scholars?"

On the day of the exam, Xu Yang fired a map cannon and insulted the Miyun scholars. Everyone had the same hatred.Now, when I heard that the other side was in such a mess, I immediately felt the joy of revenge: You are so good, you are so good, your cowardice has been seen through from the beginning.You are awesome, you are awesome, you have never thought about brother's feelings.

Zhou Nan was also very happy, and the next wine was also very refreshing.He copied two poems of Gu Yanwu and everyone's poems in one breath, and he naturally won a lot of applause.

He was so drunk that he returned home.

After waking up, Zhou Nan thought about it.That's right, it is really troublesome to deal with this kind of mass incident like Xu Yangda's, and it cannot be delayed. It must be nipped in the bud, so that the situation will not snowball and get out of hand.

The leader of the troublemakers is Xu Yangda, as long as he is dealt with, everything will be fine.

Duan Tixue is the academic official of Shuntian Mansion, so he naturally knows the temperament of the scholars in the jurisdiction.

Xu Yangda was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and he was also a representative figure of the younger generation, so he was naturally the target of his attention.

Student Xu gained a lot of fame when he entered the examination room that day, and Duan Tixue noticed him.After I got the test paper, I saw that it was written in a colorful way. It was not in vain for me to be able to pick out such a candidate with Jinshi status in this subject, so I admitted it on the spot.

After he came down, he asked someone to pull out Xu Yangda's file, and inquired about his situation, intending to make him a key training object of the Xuezheng Yamen.

Of course he knew that Xu Yang was brave and small, so he didn't intend to reason with him from the beginning, so he just beat him out with a stick, and used thunderous means to completely quell the incident.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: To be able to learn in one province, this IQ, EQ and skills are really good, and it is worth learning.

Speaking of which, Duan Chengen behaved a bit like Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan was still a little uneasy, and decided to stay at home in the capital for a few days, and pay close attention to the movements of the Xuezheng Yamen, so as not to cause trouble to Xu Yangda.

Facts have proved that Zhou Nan's caution is right.

Xu Yangda was not reconciled, so he got Zhou Nan's paper, printed dozens of copies, and distributed it to everyone he saw.Then he refuted it, saying that this article can get the first name even if it is written in nonsense, is there any reason?Fraud in the examination room, the method is so clumsy, do you think everyone is a three-year-old child?

Master Duan has done such a thing, isn't he afraid that the people in the world will talk about it?
The spearhead has been directed at Duan Chengen.

When our Duan Tixue heard this, he sneered: Young people are young people. If you want to rely on such a small matter as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, it is not good for me. Take clothes, young and naive!If the official sees the trick, he can't show the means.Today I will teach you what it means to lose one's horse, and how can you know that it is not a blessing?
Lao Duan also printed dozens of copies of Zhou Nan's paper, and wrote his own comments below, and the reason why he was given the first name, and distributed it to everyone.

In terms of comments, Duan mentioned the theory that it has been two or three hundred years since the Song Dynasty to the present that stereotyped essays have been published. It can be said that all the topics that should be published have been exhausted. There is nothing new to do.

When candidates answer the paper, in order to arouse the examiner's idea, many people use ingenious tricks, or use flowery rhetoric exclusively to show off their grammar for attention.

As a result of blindly playing tricks, even in my Jiajing year, the articles in the examination room were empty and empty.It looks dazzling, but in fact it is empty, and even deviates from the saint's way.

That's right, Miyun examinee Zhou Nan's article is rough, but simple and honest.His writings invent meanings and principles, express the right way, are upright and honest, and the codes are profound and strict, so you can be number one.

In the end, Master Duan uttered a deafening cry, and the morale and writing style should start from today!
This paragraph can be summed up in one sentence: Zhou Nan's article is not successful, but it has opened up a new style of simplicity.The old man wants to take this matter to promote the righteous way and change the evil trend of writing reasoning stereotyped articles as literary works since the Hongzhi year.If you want to question, just point at this old man.

Those who know me are only "Spring and Autumn"!Those who sin against me are only "Spring and Autumn"!

Seeing Duan Tixue's comment, Zhou Nan was dumbfounded: Is this old Duan trying to build his reputation... The mud horse can also win this, it's really insane!
Duan Tixue did this, and the scholars deeply believed it.

Indeed, as he said in his commentary, stereotyped articles have been developed to the present, and they have been perfected to the utmost extent. It is very difficult to write new things.In the end, you can only spell writing pens.Whoever writes gorgeously will get good grades.

The problem is that writing is too much talent, and it cannot be improved by hard work the day after tomorrow.Moreover, there is no standard for what is good writing and what is bad writing.

After the old Duan explained this truth, everyone suddenly realized: Why do we study books?It is nothing more than understanding the principles of the sages, self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.In every word and deed, we must abide by the Dao of Saints.

The classics and the philosophical principles of being a human being are what we should learn and practice. Being a human being and governing the country depends on morality, not so-called writing.

Duan Tixue is indeed a great Confucian in the world, a gentleman of morality, a role model for my generation!
In this way, Duan Chengen gained another wave of prestige, and was praised by scholars and court officials.

Old Duan was already old, and later reached the retirement age. Considering that the old man's reputation was too high, the officials had to be cautious and let him serve another term.

This is something.

Although Zhou Nan was used by Duan Tixue to brush up his reputation, he was still very happy to get the first place.

For example, Wang Shizhen sent someone to deliver Zhou Nan's essays from the examination room.When I opened it, I saw that it was densely packed with words and sentences that he had revised, almost rewriting it.

I left a comment again, roughly saying that the meaning of the article is correct, but such an article will definitely fail in the provincial examination room.The first thing you should do is to cast your eye on Duan Tixue. Don’t listen to the blah blah of the outsiders and think that you are great.The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

In the future, don't show the article to others easily, you can afford to lose others, but I can't afford to lose others!

Zhou Nan blushed unconsciously, he hadn't swollen to the point where he thought he was a genius.

Our family is just an ordinary scholar, but unlike the protagonists in other time-travel novels, they have to win three yuan or even six yuan in a row as soon as they enter the examination room.

It is enough to win a Juren or a Jinshi, even if it is the tail of the crane.

This additional test has passed, and there is still half a year until the rural test, so there is no rush.

Now it's time to think about how to eradicate the Yan Party and rescue Master.
