Chapter 43: Let's study Ming Jing (Part 2)

"Because of the honor and honor of the Jinshi, there are many people watching. At least 70% of scholars in the world gather on this subject. The imperial court won no more than 30 new Jinshi students every year. The road is a good road, but this road is really too difficult to walk." Just thinking about this admission ratio, Tang Que was a little chilling. Compared with the single-plank bridge of the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, the college entrance examination in later generations was even wider than the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan. "Besides, the college entrance examination of this dynasty was not aware of the name when reviewing the papers of the Ministry of Rites of this dynasty. People in each high school must become famous before the exam, and the water in the middle is too deep."

Facing what Tang Que said, Lin Xuezheng, who was also a scholar, could only sigh silently. The choice of Shilin Hua sounded good, but it was really... too difficult.

"Not to mention that it is difficult to get high school after taking the Ministry of Rites exam. It is extremely difficult for me to get a tribute qualification alone. There are provincial schools in the county schools and Taoism in the state schools. Even when I go to Taoism, I am not qualified to go to Chang'an. According to my family's situation, I can't let me go to three to five years, or even eight or ten years of going to take the exam. On the contrary, the Ming Jing subject is more suitable." Tang Que did not hide his thoughts in front of Lin Xuezheng. "If I have the opportunity to study in the state in the future, it is naturally good. If I really don't have this opportunity, I should go out to do things and support my family after studying in the county school for more than a year."

Lin Xuezheng also heard Liu Lizheng say something about Tang Que's family on the same day. When faced with these real words, he couldn't persuade them. If he spent money on studying, he would spend even more money if he really traveled thousands of miles to participate in the imperial examination in the future. Without a wealthy family, he would not be able to continue this path. Otherwise, the scholars in the county school would not be mostly wealthy gentry children.

Although Lin Xuezheng thought about Tang Que's performance again, it would be a pity.

His face was quite regretful, but Tang Que, who was calm and calm, "In this dynasty, there is no other way to go to the 'official school', and it may not be necessary to hang himself on a tree."

"It's a pity for you, but you are open-minded." Lin Xuezheng was amused by Tang Que's attitude. "It's true that officials have become successful, but this path may not be easy. From an official to an official, it's very difficult to get from an official. Even if you can be promoted to an official, it will be extremely difficult to get promoted in the future. Not to mention the distance, the Yao Zhuzhu and Zhao County Wei are the best examples. Both of them are top-notch people. Even so, they took more than ten years from being a job outside the county government to being in the current state. They have just reached the eighth rank. The horses in this state are about the same age as them, and they have been in the lower rank of the fifth rank. What a big difference is this? Between success or failure, they are actually just one fame."

The prefectures of the Tang Dynasty were equivalent to prefecture-level cities in later generations, and were similar to the deputy mayors in later generations. They also served the court. Now one is the deputy county magistrate and the other is the deputy mayor. The gap is huge.

"Ma Babi is also a Jinshi in the Mingjing, right?" Lin Xuezheng couldn't help but smile again after hearing this sentence, "I thought you were really open-minded after hearing what you said just now. Now it seems that you are no different from others. Just use Mingjing to Mingjing, but I can remind you that this road is also very difficult, so you must not be careless."

"Thank you for your reminder from Master Xuezheng."

After Lin Xuezheng finished talking about it, he stopped walking and got on the carriage he followed behind and went home. After he left the carriage, Lancao, who had been following the two of them, then walked to Tang Que, "Is he the Xuezheng Master from the county school?"

"Yes, he is like Master Yan in the village school, he is a good teacher!" Tang Que withdrew his gaze from the far away carriage, "What are you hiding? Lin Xuezheng is also a human being, so he may not be able to eat you?"

"It's so awkward for you scholars to talk to me. The Changsui of Lin Xuezheng's family was also following behind." At that time, the sky was getting dark. Lancao looked left and right, lowered her head and held Tang Que's hand, "Let's go home."

The two of them arrived home hand in hand. Lancao was in a great mood. After making some midnight snacks for Tang Que, they took the ribbon and cut the book to the study. In addition to occasionally pinching Tang Que's shoulders and adding tea to Tang Que who was in the book, the two of them were guarding a tree and three lamp stands to do their own things. The whole scene was quiet and warm.

That night, Tang Que slept in the study. The next day, Sister Lan called him to get up. After serving and washing, after eating "Chao Food", the tender sun had risen.

"If you feel bored at home, go out for a walk." Tang Que, wearing a moon-white group collared Confucian shirt, reached out and pinched Lan Jie'er's nose, smiled and picked up the bag of the book and went out.

Yunxi County School is built on a hill in the northwest corner of the city, covering an area of ​​about twenty acres. Compared with the simple village school, the environment here is much better. You can walk along the steps of more than a hundred steps, and graceful weeping willows are planted on both sides. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see neat school buildings on both sides.

Tang Que was taken to the school prison room from the concierge. It was thought that Lin Xuezheng had already said hello, so Liu Xueguan was very kind to him. Then there were quite cumbersome admission procedures, and the terms of admission registration were not much different from those of later generations. It was nothing more than age, hometown, etc. The only difference was that there was an exclusive record of whether anyone in the three generations of the direct line was engaged in business.

After Tang Que's admission procedures were completed, the school supervisor was instructing the servants to take him to the Mingjingke school building, Lin Xuezheng walked in leisurely from outside the door.

As soon as Master Xuezheng arrived, Liu Xueshen and the busy servants in the room all stood up to greet him.

"Forget it", Lin Xuezheng waved his hand casually, "Is everything done?"

Before Tang Que could speak, Liu Xuejian on the side had already answered first: "It's done, I'm going to send someone to take him to the school building."

"Yeah", Lin Xuezheng nodded, smiled and said seriously to Tang Que: "You came from the village school. You are late and your foundation is inevitable. You should work harder than other students. People should work harder than you do. People don't worry about not having a position, so they are established. Don't worry about not knowing it yourself, but seeking it can be known!"
