In the afternoon, there was a quarrel in the county school meeting hall.

Although the second round of the District B match in the morning ended with Yanying Academy winning, the various quarrels that followed made Zhao Xiuwen dizzy.

The main reason is that Changqing School Fei Academy complained about the unfairness of the examiner and was lenient to the county school affiliated schools.

If the poems of the same level are of the same level, the Changqing School scores the best and the county school affiliated school scores the best.

Of course, the county school affiliated schools were also eliminated in the last question.

But the Master Fei refused to give in. If the scoring standards of the county school affiliated schools were based on the scoring standards, the first question score of Changqing School this morning should be the best.

In the end, Changqing School had the opportunity to compete with Yanying School. It is still unknown who will win in the end.

Master Fei believes that the injustice of the examiner has seriously damaged the vital interests of Changqing School.

But the other three schools cooperated surprisingly well.

The County School Affiliated School and Yuqing School will never want to have two Changqing School teams in the semi-finals.

Yanying Academy is even more unwilling to hand over the only quarterfinals qualification won by hard-working to Changqing Academy.

Master Liu said calmly: "Writing poetry is not like silent scriptures. Right is right, wrong is wrong. It has many influencing factors, such as the high and low idea, beautiful words and sentences, and rhythms, such as the examiner's personal hobbies, etc."

Master Fei glared at Master Liu and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Master Liu smiled faintly, "I personally think that the poem "Shangyuan" of Changqing School is indeed not very clever. The first sentence describes the scenery, the second sentence turns into the people, the third sentence describes the scenery, and the fourth sentence seems to explain a truth, but even the truth is unclear and the level layout is very bad. In my opinion, the upper and middle scores are all high."

Cheng Zhu also interrogated: "We should compare the farmer's poems written by Yanying School. This poem is of superior quality in terms of concept, beautiful verses, and rhymes, so the score is superior, but the Shangyuan poems written by Changqing School are not as good as in all aspects. How could it be as high as Yanying School?"

Chen Ying, the teacher of the affiliated school, sighed and said, "Since the Master Fei is dissatisfied with us, I can apply for a reduction in the score. The third question score is lowered to the upper middle, which is consistent with Changqing School. It is indeed very well written in the farmer's poems. Our poems are far from being compared with it. The scores are higher, which is really ashamed."

One of the three college masters occupies a corner. Master Liu criticized Changqing School for its poor poetry, while Master Cheng believed that Changqing School’s Shangyuan poems were not worthy of comparison with Yanying School’s peasant poems.

The teacher Chen Ying demoted himself and asked the poems of the county school affiliated schools to be reduced to the upper middle school.

In this way, all the retreat routes for the Director Fei's Office were blocked.

The head of the Academy was helpless and had to look at Zhao Xiuwen, Xuezheng, "School and Zhengzheng will explain to me!"

Zhao Xiuwen said for a while: "The morning game has ended, and it is impossible to change the result. We can only learn from the following game and don't have any differences like today."

Master Fei's face turned red and white. He suddenly snorted heavily, got up and left.

He knew in his heart that he was alone and could not compete with everyone, but he couldn't bear to worry about his face and had to leave.

At this time, a hurried over and whispered in the ear of the school administration Zhao Xiuwen. Zhao Xiuwen nodded and said to the three tutors and teachers: "You go back and rest first, wait for notice for the specific arrangements for the semi-finals. If there is something to do with the county magistrate, I will go first."

The three of them stood up and left, while Zhao Xiuwen hurried to the county government.

In the county government office, county magistrate Li Yun came to the room with concern and walked back and forth. Yesterday he received news that Bao Zheng, the transferor of Shaanxi Road, was appointed as the transferor of Liangzhe Road, had arrived in Pingjiang Prefecture.

But this morning he received a quick letter from his father-in-law and found out that Bao Zheng came to Jiangnan to take office, which was actually another insider, and he wanted to thoroughly investigate the major grain corruption case in Kunshan County.

Li Yun also heard about the grain corruption case in Kunshan County. It is said that the county magistrate and the transportation department of Kunshan Caomiao colluded to sell the new grain at a high price, and then bought the grain corruption from the grain merchants to pretend to be new grain, making a lot of benefits from it.

In his father-in-law's letter, he said that the delivery of this batch of corrupt grain to the Shaanxi roadside army caused strong dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the border army. The matter had been complained to the emperor's desk, which made the emperor angry.

That's why Bao Zheng was transferred from Shaanxi Road to Liangzhe Road.

Of course, Li Yun was very nervous. Kunshan and Wuxian were too close, so he was worried that the city gate would catch fire and affect the fish in the pond.

Although there is no problem with the grain in Wu County, what about other aspects?

His father-in-law loves collecting Taihu stones. In order to satisfy his father-in-law's hobbies, Li Yun has done many things that are grieving and angry in recent years.

Although it is quite hidden, I am afraid that someone will investigate it.

Bao Zheng is still under the title of censor!

At this time, the yamen runners outside the door reported, "County Lord, Zhao Xuezheng is here!"

"Please come in!"

After a moment, Zhao Xiuwen walked in and bowed, "See the county lord!"

Li Yun smiled and said, "How is it, has the complaint from Master Fei resolved?"

Zhao Xiuwen sighed, "The other three companies do not agree to change the results of today's competition. Everyone agrees that the county school affiliated schools can reduce points, but Changqing School cannot add points."

"It seems that people still think that the examiner's score is a bit unfair?"

Zhao Xiuwen said silently: "Actually, in general, I think it's still fair. It's just that the scoring scale of the first question is a little stricter. This is normal. There is no question of targeting who or favoring who."

"What I mean by studying for government is that you don't need to change the examiner?" Li Yun asked.

"I don't mean that. I also think it's a bit inappropriate for county school professors to be examiners. After all, county school affiliated schools are also in the semi-finals. I'm considering seconding several professors from the provincial school to be examiners in the semi-finals."

Li Yun nodded, "This is OK, but the semi-finals are slightly postponed for a few days."

"Why?" Zhao Xiuwen asked in confusion.

Li Yun smiled, "The new Liangzhe Transport Author Bao Daguan may have to inspect Wuxian in a few days. I plan to hold the finals when he inspects Wuxian and take the opportunity to ask him to allocate more money and grain to the education of Wuxian."

Zhao Xiuwen despised and happy in his heart. He obviously despised the County Magistrate Li to take this opportunity to win the favor of his superiors by using the county sergeant selection and increase his political achievements for himself.

However, the transferee who holds financial power comes to inspect Wuxian. The county scholar selection competition is held at this time, which is indeed conducive to the special treatment of Wuxian education.

As a scholar, Zhao Xiuwen certainly hopes that such a good thing will happen, so he is also very happy with this suggestion.

"Okay! I happened to go to the prefecture school these days to finalize the new examiner."

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Xuezheng announced the news that the semi-finals were postponed for a few days, on the grounds that the examiner needed to be replaced and the professor from the Ministry of Education would be the examiner of the semi-finals.

At night, in the elegant room on the third floor of Juxian Restaurant, Yuqing Academy held a banquet to host Xu Chong, the chief professor of the Ministry of Education.

Xu Chong wore a loose blue Confucian robe with a childish face, looking particularly energetic.

The two are old acquaintances and are in the same circle of literati, and they are already very familiar with each other.

"Old Cheng, don't think I don't understand what you mean!"

Xu Chong said half-jokingly and half-heartedly: "My grandson is studying in Yanying School, so I have to avoid suspicion, so Zhao Xuezheng asked me to be the examiner of the semi-finals. I have declined. I'm afraid you will be in vain for this table of wine and food."

Cheng shook his head, "What are Mr. Xu saying? Can't I treat you to a meal after so many years of friendship?"

Xu Chong smiled, "Okay, let's have a drink for you."

The two raised their glasses and drank them all, and Cheng Zhe poured wine for him and said, "Actually, I am apologizing. After all, I feel very sorry for Sun being eliminated in the first round and competing with our Yuqing School."

Xu Chong waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with your Yuqing School. I'm just blaming me for being blinded back then. I actually sent my grandson to Yanying School to study. In the end, someone tricked me. I remember this lesson."

Of course, Cheng Zhu knew that Xu Chong was referring to Master Liu. He nodded, "It seems that the rumors are true. After this trial competition, Sun will leave Yanying School."

Xu Chong stared at the wine glass and snorted coldly, "I just regret leaving too late."

The topic has been in place and the atmosphere has been fully exaggerated. Cheng carefully led the topic to today's purpose.

"This selection competition may affect Ling Sun's future. Do Mr. Xu have any plans?"

Xu Chong knew Cheng's title, and he pretended to sigh, "What can I think? It's his bad luck, and I can only leave it to fate!"

Cheng Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "Why didn't Mr. Xu move his household registration out and go to other prefectures to participate in the boy test? As far as I know, not all prefectures and counties hold county scholarship selection competitions like Wu County."

"Why didn't I think about it? But the imperial court has strictly controlled the imperial examinations! We must buy houses and land, and we must be naturalized for seven years before we can participate in the local examination. Our Pingjiang Prefecture is stricter, and all three generations of grandparents and grandchildren must be from Pingjiang Prefecture's hometown."

Xu Chong sighed, "Otherwise I will move his household registration to Changzhou County."

Cheng Zhu smiled slightly, "Not every place has a seven-year naturalization rule. As far as I know, Xuanzhou is naturalized for three years, and it does not require three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to be from Xuanzhou.

As long as you buy 100 acres of land and a private house in Xuanzhou, you can move your household registration. After three years, you can sign up for the Boy Test and find three old juren as a guarantee and you can participate in the Boy Test in Xuanzhou."

Xu Chong was really moved. He originally wanted his cousin to make a fake hometown in Chizhou and then move his grandson's household registration to Chizhou.

But this is risky. Once exposed, the position of his cousin as a state official will be difficult to protect, and his grandson's future will be over. Now Cheng Zhu proposed that Xuanzhou has a solution, which makes Xu Chong see the hope of his grandson taking the boy exam again.

Seeing that Cheng Zhi's eyes were flashing brightly, how could he not understand what the other party meant, so he climbed up along the pole handed to him by the other party.

"It's a pity that I don't have an acquaintance in Xuanzhou! Many things are difficult to operate."

Having said this, both sides can open the skylight and speak loudly.

Cheng Zai smiled, "I am from Xuanzhou, my brother is a big family in Xuanzhou. If my brother doesn't think I'm too troublesome, I'll leave this matter to me to ensure that I can help my brother do it well."

Xu Chong was overjoyed and stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your best help. I will leave my grandson's affairs to you. Please rest assured. Your affairs are mine, and I will never stand by."

There are some words that need not be said explicitly, as both sides know it. Although Xu Chong is not the chief examiner of the semi-finals, he is the chief professor of the Ministry of Education and has enough connections in the Ministry of Education.
