Chapter 252 Admission
Thank you very much for your reward!
He looked around and looked for candidates from his county. The name of the government examination was based on the county. He was very happy when he looked at it. He saw that many peddlers were selling things. They were selling four treasures of the study, some sold clothes, shoes, and food. Some candidates were buying headscarves, clothes, shoes, and so on. Some candidates were buying headscarves, clothes, shoes, and the candidates who lost their books were selling four treasures of the study, making a mess.
“So expensive?”
Luo Xin heard the angry voice of a candidate and laughed in his heart. When will these candidates be killed if they are not killed at this time? Sure enough, the angrily scholar also bought a pair of shoes in the end.
"It's there!"
Lu Daqing beside him pointed at a big lantern not far from the right, panting, and the sky was just a little bright, and the lantern was extremely conspicuous, with two big words written on the lantern.
Yanglin!
Luo Xin knew that it was the gathering place for Yanglin County candidates, so he squeezed over there. Lu Daqing still grabbed Luo Xin's clothes with one hand and squeezed over with the bookcase with the other.
"Luo Case Head!" Some early candidates who arrived under the big lantern saw Luo Xin and greeted Luo Xin.
"Everyone is here early!" Luo Xin squeezed in front of him, wiped his sweat and said with a smile.
When everyone saw Luo Xin's clothes were torn and his shoes fell off, they couldn't help laughing together. Someone said:
"Luo Censor, hurry up and buy clothes and shoes."
"I'm ready!"
Luo Xin smiled and opened the bag in his arms, first took out the shoes and put them on, then took off his ragged shirt and changed into a new shirt. The candidates around him couldn't help but give Luo Xin a thumbs up.
"The head of the case is the head of the case, and it is thoughtful."
Luo Xin did not explain, and the things he replaced were not easy to throw away, so he put them in his bag and handed them to Lu Daqing. Then he took the bookcase from Lu Daqing and said:
"Daqing, you go back."
"Young Master, I'll be waiting for you here."
"You go back first to report your safety to Brother Haode and Brother Ziyu, and tell them that I have come in."
"Yeah!" Lu Daqing nodded, turned around and squeezed outward.
At this time, almost all the scholars in each county had arrived, but the noise gradually became smaller. Luo Xin observed everyone silently, and everyone had different expressions. Some were confident and laughed and talked in a low voice with the Confucian scholars beside him, while others were nervous and even their legs were trembling slightly. Some were expectant and silent.
Looking at the thousands of candidates in front of him, Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In some ways, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was also in the hands of scholars.
All things are inferior to those who are good at studying!
Under this trend of thought, too many people chose to study and then flocked to the officialdom, causing the proliferation of officials and the bloated institutions. Moreover, the privileges of scholars made them not only exempt from taxes after passing the exam, but also because of the privileges they had. The wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty was concentrated on scholars, and the tax burden of the country was suppressed on the increasingly poor people.
The bloated officials caused political discomfort, and the people who were under increasing tax burdens could no longer survive. The privileges of scholars hurt the economy of the Ming Dynasty. They valued culture over military affairs, which hurt the Ming Dynasty's military preparations.
The three aspects of politics, economy and military equipment have caused the contradictions in the Ming Dynasty to become increasingly greater. In fact, the Ming Dynasty has begun to go downhill.
What's even more terrifying is that no one pays attention to this kind of damage. No one pays attention to this kind of hidden danger that has already hurt the Ming Dynasty, but Luo Xin knew that when this kind of hidden danger accumulates to a certain level, an astonishing destructive force will burst out.
When this destructive power did not explode, this world is the world of scholars. But when the contradictions have intensified to the point of explosion, there is nothing to resist for the people with power. Just like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty.
Luo Xin suddenly smiled, his smile full of self-mockery. He thought that he was also one of these scholars and would enjoy the privileges of scholars in the future. He changed a dynasty with his own strength...
It’s better to take a shower and go to bed! You can only do your best to move subtly.
At this moment, the door of the examination room slowly opened, and a man wearing a lifting official uniform walked out of the door, sweeping over the candidates with a majestic expression.
Suddenly there was silence, and all the candidates' eyes were gathered on the body of the lift, and the needles could be heard.
"The government examination begins, candidates are not allowed to be crowded. They are named by counties, line up to enter the venue for inspection, and then sit down according to the tablet."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the gate, disappearing. At this time, officials began to name the county, Yanglin County was ranked third, and Luo Xin walked into the gate with a bookcase and lined up to be inspected. He watched the candidates open the basket or bookcase, and the soldiers checked the same. Some of the pastries or dry food brought by the candidates were broken bit by bit, and their coats were taken off. Luo Xin couldn't help but think in his heart:
"This government test is much stricter than the county test!"
It was Luo Xin's turn. The soldier who checked Luo Xin actually smiled at Luo Xin, which scared Luo Xin so much that he almost threw the bookcase out. He had seen it before, and these soldiers were all covered in a dark face and were very rude to each candidate, and had never noticed that they had smiled at anyone.
Seeing Luo Xin stunned, the soldier checked it in a hurry and said in a low voice:
"I am Lord Bai's soldier."
"So good luck?"
Luo Xin understood as soon as he heard this, this man must have seen him on the city wall when he was a bandit, and now he knows his brother Luo Qing, so he checked it out and put it over. He carried the bookcase and walked inside, while thinking:
"This is the beginning of getting rich from my brother, hehe..."
Carrying his bookcase, he found his own compartment according to the license plate. The entire mansion test was divided into eight exam rooms, and Luo Xin was divided into the second exam room. In the exam room were partitions, and each candidate occupied one compartment.
There are three examinations in the palace, divided into three categories: classical meanings and policy theory. The policy theory is usually two articles, which require writing in the form of eight essays, for a total of three days. These three days must be spent in this compartment, just like being confined to three days.
Luo Xin entered his compartment, placed the bookcase under the table, and then took out the rag from the inside to start cleaning the compartment. After cleaning the compartment, the candidate had not yet fully entered the examination room. He heard howling outside, and knew that some candidates were found to have a cheat sheet, so he shook his head, put the rag aside, sat on the bench and began to take out his pen and inkstone, and then sat there quietly waiting.
After about two quarters of an hour, all the candidates finally entered the examination room. They took the exam in and first explained the examination rules, and then distributed the exam papers.
