Chapter 37 I'm Sorry, I'm Not Interested
The Mansion Examination is the second game of the Boy Examination.
The so-called Boy's Examination is the entrance examination for obtaining student qualifications in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is referred to as the Boy's Examination, also known as the Boy's Examination, small exam, commonly known as the Boy's Examination. Regardless of age, the candidates are collectively called Tongsheng. The second brothers of Tongsheng's Examination are the County Examination, the Prefecture (or Zhili Prefecture, Department) Examination and the College Examination. It is held twice within three years. Chou, Wei, Chen, and Xu are the Year Examination, Yin, Shen, and Hai are the Year Examination.
In other words, as long as you pass these three levels, even if you obtain the fame of a scholar, you can enjoy a series of preferential policies for tax exemption. Of course, you are not qualified to be an official. If you want to enter the officialdom, you have to take the provincial examination and get the fame of a Juren.
In fact, the difficulty of the boy's test is not as simple as later generations imagined. At least the last level of the college entrance examination is like this. Because the boy's test involves special treatment, the last level is very tight. Many scholars have read books all their lives and they have been recorded on that level.
It is not uncommon for old children with white hair to be born in the exam room.
Compared with the hospital examination, both the government and county examinations are much simpler. The prefecture will set the questions as the main examination and can be admitted on the spot. The registration procedures and examination rules are the same as those of the county examination.
The examination period for the prefecture examination is mostly April, which depends on the situation and cannot be delayed until May at the latest. However, according to the rules, the examination period for ordinary prefectures is mostly scheduled in the late month, so that scholars can register and prepare for the pre-exam.
But the situation in Chengdu this year is a bit special, mainly because the court was using troops against Japanese pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang and others submitted more than a dozen comments in a row to ask Emperor Jiajing for money. Unfortunately, after so many years of trouble in the Ming Dynasty, the treasury was empty, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang roads were in trouble and the wealth was cut off. Sichuan, as a country of Tianfu, had to bear most of the food and wages, and the tax tasks were much heavier than in previous years.
Therefore, the Chengdu prefect needs to complete the summer tax collection this year before May 1st. In this way, the government examination will be early April in advance.
It is late March now, and it is only a few days before the exam. The imperial examination is the foundation for my own life. As for studying in academy, it doesn’t matter.
Hearing Wu Jie's decision to make his own proposal, Mr. Song was a little anxious: "Young Master, please listen to what I said. I heard from someone that Mr. Wu was seriously ill before and had never been to school. Of course, you are a talented man and have done excellent poetry. Even if you look at the whole world, you can still rank first. Unfortunately, in this imperial examination, you still have to rely on the eight-part writing style, which is the real skill. If you haven't been to school, you will inevitably have improper and inappropriate things when you do it, and you also need the guidance of a famous teacher. Mr. Zongzhi, a famous scholar in the country, has his own fate. If the young master enters the examination room in the future, will he be more confident, right?"
Wu Jie smiled in his heart: Mr. Song, you are a bad person. If you talk about poetry, if you don’t rely on plagiarism, I, Wu Jie, really has no choice. But if you say that you write eight-legged essays in the exam room, it will not hurt me.
He waved his head and smiled silently.
Moth didn't understand what they were saying, and shouted, "Butler Song, you are so nagging, my young master said nothing."
