Pang Tong quietly left Chang'an and headed for Wancheng.
Others came to Chang'an one after another.
If one industry, a society, or a court cannot make the best use of it, at least one must take good care of the top people.
This top wave does not refer to vested interests who have reached the upper level, nor are those high-ranking yamen who are shouting, but some capable and climbing upwards. Give these capable people some channels for promotion, otherwise they will be monopolized every day, and seeing that there are only a few carrot pits, there will be problems sooner or later.
Have you seen the gangster Liu Laoer, the country man, Taoist Zhang, who failed Huang Laoxie after repeated tests, the monk Zhu Laodao, laid off worker Li Gongfu, failed scholar Hong, etc., but they all have a lot of things to say.
If these people cannot be bought by beautiful women, then when they come to get them, things will be big.
Fei Qian is now preparing some beautiful women in the car.
Everyone hopes that they are unique and have great opportunities, but in fact, only a small number of people are often the ones who have the ability to climb up the thorns.
This perseverance is manifested in many aspects, one of which is the ability to learn.
Learning is a water-mixing skill. People without great perseverance are often disturbed by some complicated things, or they either give up halfway. Anyway, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as they are willing to give up. So once they have good learning, although it may not necessarily represent the level of personal ability, at least such people have some perseverance in insisting on doing something.
It’s not that there are only studies and exams in the world, but that people who show their own abilities in this process are in line with the requirements of society and the court.
In this world, many times, what I fear most is perseverance.
At least those who have perseverance and are willing to persist will do more and bigger things than those who do not have perseverance and are unwilling to persist.
Therefore, as the current ruler in Shanxi, Fei Qian naturally needs to take the lead and take these scholars who are in the countryside, who are not in good condition, but are still diligent and persistent.
As the enquiries examinations of various counties and counties around Sanfu ended one after another, those selected counties also began to go to Chang'an one after another.
First of all, there is free food, boarding, carriages and horses.
For the rich gentry, the cost of food, accommodation, car and horse is not much, but for some students with average family background, these costs may be a huge obstacle to their progress. So some people turned over but left a root of illness in their hearts, just like many feudal officials repented after corruption, I came from a poor mountain village...
Therefore, the benefits Fei Qian gave these people are actually not much expense, but they can win people's hearts very quickly. The cost of food, boarding, carriage and horses is limited to twice per person. If you fail the exam once, you can take the exam again next year, but you still fail the exam, so there will be no free food, boarding, carriage and horses.
The so-called things are nothing but three.
It is also a hidden reminder.
Secondly, it is to allocate special inspections to be responsible for point-to-point guidance.
These inspections were drawn from the Three Auxiliary of Chang'an, and were specifically responsible for picking up and dropping off students who came to Chang'an for reference.
Mainly for subtle purpose.
On the one hand, it is to reduce the situation where ordinary officials take the opportunity to get free money during the journey, which has led to adverse effects on these students before they enter the officialdom. On the other hand, most of the patrols are from the army and guarding them with soldiers, which is actually similar to the meaning of dispatching armed police in a certain exam in later generations.
If you are sensitive to the situation, the businessman is no match for it.
I learned that when a large number of students came to Chang'an to take the exam, the accommodation and catering costs suddenly increased a lot. Fortunately, Fei Qian attached great importance to the price of grain, and the Han Chamber of Commerce coordinated the management. In addition, a group of hoarding people who were not open a glance a while ago, so the price of food raw materials, that is, grain rice and flour, has not increased much, but the prices of finished products have increased.
Just like in the later tourism season, the accommodation and catering fees of tourist locations have risen a lot, but the local rice, flour and oil prices have not changed much, and the impact on local people is not much, but outsiders...
Therefore, the food and accommodation at the inn is cheap.
Of course, if there are students with a few dollars in their pockets, they want to experience the customs, food and delicacies of Chang'an, and the surrounding restaurants and restaurants are also very popular.
The initial establishment of the imperial examination system under Fei Qian's rule means that the imperial examination system under Fei Qian's rule has generally entered a relatively complete stage. Although it cannot be said to be mature, it has at least obvious differentiation.
The examinations in counties are mainly for screening.
The purpose of screening is to eliminate.
Some people are not suitable for studying, and they are sleepy when they hold the book innately, so there is no need to force it. If you don’t have the right exam in the local area, you can change your career and go to another place, and the cost is not high. Otherwise, if you go to Chang'an and fail the exam, you may be unwilling to give up. After all, the cost of sunk is too high. If you don’t give up, you may not be able to pass the exam next time.
So the nearby exam avoids this problem.
If there are more exams in the future and then the next level is transferred to the county, then it will be really just a screening. As long as you are willing to put some thought into it, it will not be difficult to pass the exam and become a scholar. Just like when you go to junior high school in later years, under nine years of compulsory education, as long as you are not out of the ordinary, there will be basically no problem.
But further up, it's the selection.
This is particularly obvious in the Chang'an exam.
Those who can only study hard and those who are truly capable will be distinguished in this exam.
The exams in later generations of academic and male ape directions are not clearly distinguishable among the current feudal dynasties.
Candidates who can come from counties and counties in various places have some level of standards, but it does not mean that all of them can be admitted. After all, the learning atmosphere and academic level of each region are inconsistent, just like Hedong and Taiyuan, it is obviously a little higher than the students in Hanzhong and Longyou. Therefore, it is possible that about 80% of the students in a county will be admitted, while in some areas, it may only be 40% or 50%, or even 20% or 30%…
In addition to these students, there are also some people living in Chang'an and also living in inns.
These people are not trying to take the exam...
For example, Song Hang and Cai Yu.
Song Hang and Cai Yu have been to Chang'an for some time, and they also live in the inn.
Song Hang arrived first, and Cai Yu returned to Chang'an later.
Wang Ming was injured on his way back and was quite serious. He was recuperating in the 100-year clinic and probably would have to take care of him for at least half a year.
Not everyone is as lucky as Song Hang and Cai Yu.
Wang Ming's escape was not very peaceful. He initially tried to get away with it, but the checkpoints on the road soon became stricter. Wang Ming had to start disguising himself and even took some paths in sparsely populated areas. Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital, many places in Yin and Heluo, Henan were full of corpses and bones, which were extremely desolate. Even if the Yang family developed vigorously, it was only relatively better in the area near Luoyang.
Wang Ming had never participated in any field survival training before, and there was no positioning instruments and compass, so he just used the sun in the sky to roughly determine the direction, but it happened to be cloudy...
When Wang Ming met the cavalry and the horse, he almost had an imbalance in nutrition and died in the wilderness.
So inside the post station, Cai Yu was more familiar with Song Hang.
Cai Yu came to Song Hang with a wine gourd on his back and a few bags of food in his arms.
For them, there is a pretty long vacation.
Fei Qian did not meet them at the first time, but asked them to rest first and then imagine what they wanted to do. For these people who have been in another camp for a long time, it is like three years and three years, and if they don’t come, they will become bosses. Sometimes, there are inevitably some habits that are completely different from those of Guanzhong Sanfu.
The two of them didn't look for anything elegant, but they just found a few bean plates to put some cold food on the table under the window of the inn.
Boiled salty beans, some minced meat, and a few small dried grilled fish.
The wine is also very ordinary, similar to the fermented glutinous rice in later generations. Of course, the degree may be higher than the fermented glutinous rice in later generations. This kind of wine is generally not heated because it will be more sour after heating, so it is not heated most of the time. Only filtered wine and those with relatively fewer impurities are necessary to heat and drink.
Cai Yu picked up the wine and signaled to Song Hang. The two of them raised their glasses together and drank them all in one go.
Only when the drinks are gone can the conversation be considered as having the key opened.
『I heard that the cavalry is going to be enrolled?』 Cai Yu said,『Looking at the inn, many people said they were going to take this enrollment exam...I saw that they were all holding books and walking and eating and unable to let go...』
Song Hang nodded, then sighed with emotion, "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed. I remember that back then, I was holding a book before the exam, and I wanted to read two more words..."
The two couldn't help but sigh.
It feels like the post-70s generation saw that the company's new employees recruited all the post-80s generations, and then the original young post-80s generations were seen again in a blink of an eye. Then, the post-90s generations rushed up again and slapped the previous waves to death on the company...uh, on the beach.
The two of them sighed and sighed, and then felt that it was indeed the best time to study...
Time flies, and the two of them are like the originally green and tender beans, and then they become salt water boiled beans on the table. Although they are all beans, they are completely different from the inside to the outside.
"Brother Song, what are you going to choose?" After sighing for a while, Cai Yu asked Song Hangdao.
The cavalry gave Song Hang and the others several options to consider. One was to change their name and go to some technical minor officials somewhere, and wait for a few years before transferring them. The other was to change their names, but to go to Jiaozhi, Nanzhong, and continue to work in their old business. Of course, there was also an option to convert some land, acres, silver, and money, and then go home to become a little rich man.
Song Hang was silent for a while and said, "I still want to be a bachelor of agriculture, but I don't want to go to Nanzhong."
In the eyes of most Han people, the Jiaozhi area in South Central is a terrifying wilderness.
Even though the Jiaozhi area is actually quite close to the level of Han civilization, many people are still afraid.
Cai Yu nodded, "Then you may be going to Longxi, or you may be going to Sichuan and Shu."
During this period, most officials, especially those newly admitted, were basically in these two directions. Very few of them could stay in the Sanfu in Chang'an. At the same time, some officials in Sichuan and Shu were promoted to Hanzhong or Hedong, which gave these minor officials who went to Longxi and Sichuan and Shu some comfort in their hearts.
Some people think spy agents are very interesting, like the ones on movies and TV, with big pockets and lots of beauties, but in fact most spies and agents are very hard-working, and some spies are even very painful, just like social animals who work hard to complete company assessment indicators, and they are also double-handed social animals.
One is in the open, but it cannot be completed. Every day is the leader and the boss is scolded. Every night is in the dark, but it cannot be completed. Don’t think about who is good at sleeping every night. Alexander. What? Money? I think too much, it’s like I’m selling it. Of course I’ll give it more for the first time. Later, I’ll be old and yellow, and three melons and two dates are like sending a beggar…
Although Fei Qian would not use his identity as a spy to threaten Song Hang and others, Song Hang himself felt that his psychological pressure over the years was too great and he did not want to continue doing this. It would be better to simply be a bachelor of agriculture.
Anyway, Song Hang originally used the bachelor of agriculture as his own cover-up, and was familiar with this matter. He was not a cross-industry job, but he was far away from Chang'an Sanfu, and it may take at least five years to come back.
How many five years does life have?
Cai Yu grabbed the boiled beans and put them in his mouth to grind them.
After cooking this thing, it will dry it. It will bite it randomly, and it will easily cause tooth loss and can only be slowly ground.
Song Hang glanced at Cai Yu and did not ask Cai Yu how to choose in the future, because Song Hang knew that Cai Yu himself was also in a dilemma.
Unlike the officials of the Sanfu in Chang'an, Cai Yu was used to being casual in Cao Cao's place. He had to do regular operations and even often turned over the walls of his colleagues. Of course, Cai Yu also had something different from Lao Cao.
Lao Cao killed that man first, and then his wife, I raised him, Cai Yumo, just comforted those concubines who were too busy with men and did not want to kill someone.
People from Shandong have always been very calm about items like concubines, and even think that others like their concubines and their faces are still radiant!
Many wealthy families hold banquets, and if any important guests ask for maids, dancers, etc., they pack and deliver them without blinking.
Tang and Song Dynasty were similar, like Old Man Su who boasted about how dedicated he was, and often gave him concubines to others...
In the feudal dynasty, a concubine was more like an object.
In fact, this custom will be similar in later generations.
Just like a escort at a university in later generations, as long as an important friend likes it, the school leaders will have a glory on their faces! Anyway, they are not their own daughters, they are all wives and daughters of untouchables. If you can play with the distinguished guests, it will be a blessing!
However, in Guanzhong, even other counties under the rule of the Cavalry, Cai Yu had no choice but to play with.
It’s not that the officials here in Fei Qian do not marry concubines, but because there are Wensi, Dali Temple and the Cavalry Office, who are watching closely.
For example, in Shandong, we hold banquets at any time, eating and drinking together, and having fun together, but in Guanzhong, there are only two banquets that can be held publicly. If you want to hold other banquets, it is not impossible. Not only do you need to pay privately, it will easily attract various reviews.
Why do you have to do it? What is the reason? Who will participate in the meeting? Is it a relationship of favors or a transaction of money and power?
Where can many things be distinguished so clearly?
Everyone hates trouble, so large-scale banquets have completely shrunk. Basically, there are only some private, small-scale banquets in groups of three or three. If there are many people who have heard about the banquet, many people will refuse directly, and they don’t want to be brought to you by Wen Si or Si Zhi. Even if these people are not here, what will be known by your boss? You will ask, “The indicators are all completed this year? Are you so idle to hold a banquet?”
Therefore, overall, the officials under the rule of Feiqian in Guanzhong are much more serious than those in Shandong.
Of course, this is also because most of the officials under Fei Qian's command are now promoted by their abilities rather than by their connections. Perhaps at some point in the future, small groups will be formed for various reasons, and then they will evolve to determine their official positions by their connections, but at least for a considerable period of time, it is still very different from Shandong.
Cai Yu was also very distressed.
It seems good to ask him to take some money and go home to be a little rich man, but in fact, even Cai Yu himself knows that according to his habit of spending money, there may not be a gold mountain for long. If he becomes an ordinary official position, his salary will definitely not be high. Even if he has some subsidies in the early stage, it will not be enough to support Cai Yu's expenses.
So there is only one way left?
Cai Yu had a headache.
"Oh, why did I forget this?" Cai Yu suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands and said, "I heard a secret where I am in Shandong..."
"Don't say it! Don't say it!" Song Hang raised his palm, "Since it's a secret, don't tell me. I... don't want to listen to these things now..." Song Hang has made up his mind to be an ordinary agricultural scholar, so naturally he will no longer want to listen to these things.
Cai Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly.
Suddenly, Cai Yu felt that although he and Song Hang sat on both sides of the table, they seemed to have opened a long distance.
"You can go and find Youwensi..." Song Hang looked at Cai Yu, touched the wine glass and said, "If it is valuable, it may be considered that you have made contributions, and then... have a better position or something...
Cai Yu's eyes rolled, and his emotions came back, "Then let Brother Song Jiyan! Come on, it's too late, let's drink first, I'll go to Youwensi tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
