Chapter 17 Preparations

Hezhou is not only in the fourth tier, but also in the weak team in the fourth tier, or in the fourth tier, there is not much difference between the strong team. The strong team can pass the imperial examination every year, and only one or two of them are in the weak team. Sometimes he is even a zero-eight, and Hezhou is the weak team among the weak team.

This is actually a good thing for Ge Dan. If the next Koge Dan can make Hezhou enter the first echelon, then Ge Dan will definitely become famous in the officialdom of Nanzhili.

The Yingtianfu of the Ming Dynasty held a total of 90 provincial examinations. In the 27th year of Jingtai, 20 of the 27 subjects were not limited to the quota, and the quota of the seven subjects was also different. They were four subjects during the Xuande period, with 80 subjects admitted to each subject, three subjects during the Zhengtong period, with 100 subjects in each subject. However, the quota of Jingtai began to be fixed at 135.

It is now the Chenghua period, and the number of people in Yingtianfu's provincial examination is 135. No matter how many people apply for the exam, the top 150 will be admitted.

Under such circumstances, how can the competition be less intense? This is equivalent to the college entrance examination in later generations. There are countless people taking the exam, and it is difficult to get into a good school. In such a big place in Nanzhili, 150 people are admitted and one subject is taken in three years. This is not just a single-plank bridge that can be crossed by thousands of horses and thousands of troops, it is simply a kind of crowded person.

Those who came out of the provincial examination were all strong people. It was so difficult for the juren to take the exam. What about the Jinshi? In this era, those who passed the Jinshi were really the pride of heaven. The seventeenth place in the second grade like Ge Dan sounded inconspicuous, but they were also scared to death.

Zhou Chang was frightened at this time. When he heard that Ge Dan was about to start a class, he suddenly became excited and hurriedly said, "Sir, take this seriously?"

No one has thought about this before, but everyone has been through the imperial examinations and everyone knows the difficulty of studying and studying. As the saying goes, ten years of hard work is really difficult. It is already difficult to get into the exam, let alone train other people to get into the exam? This is even more difficult. If a person teaches three or five Jinshis, it is amazing. He is definitely a famous teacher-level figure. Not to mention that it has caused a sensation in the world, but it is absolutely possible to cause a few provinces.

Although officials pay attention to culture and education, no one has ever made this idea because the input-output is disproportionate.

Ge Dan glanced at Zhou Chang and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't know what the result is, but I am still willing to do my part for Hezhou."

This kind of thing comes from later generations of Ge Dan, who dares to do it. He has experience in exam-oriented education. With golden fingers like Guangnao, others have no chance. Ge Dan's Guangnao stores a large number of examples of eight-legged essays. Later, the ruthless people from the Ming Dynasty and the ruthless people from the Qing Dynasty. With Guangnao's analysis, unless the other party is a rotten wood, it is not very difficult to guide them to write a good eight-legged essay.

Although there are three exams in the imperial examination, the only one who is truly valued is the first one. The questions in the first are the four questions of this sutra and three questions of the four books.

The so-called Sutra means that every candidate should determine the Sutra as his or her specialization from the Five Classics of "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Changes", and "The Spring and Autumn Annals" when registering, and write four articles of the sutra with the sentences precipitated in this classic during the exam.

The meaning of the Four Books is three questions from the four classics "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning". That is to say, the examiner must prepare a total of twenty-three questions in each exam, and each candidate actually answers seven questions.

The second test was the theory, and the third test was the strategy, but basically if the first test was not good, the next two tests would be useless.

The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty are still quite clear. When the meeting meets, the party struggles are fierce, and the party is fighting against different things, and fraud in the imperial examinations is also very serious. The civil unrest in the late Ming Dynasty is related to the inability to follow the imperial examinations of many scholars. In addition to selecting materials for the country, the imperial examinations are actually a path of upward development, which is used to stabilize scholars.

Once the ascending path is blocked and the class is solidified, it is hard to say what the people below will do. You must know that this country has always been shouting "Why are kings, princes, generals and ministers?"

Ge Dan took this as an advancement level, which still works in this era, because everyone relied on the exam. After Wanli, there was basically no chance. As an examiner of the Donglin Party, no matter how well you wrote, you would not be able to pass the exam. The same would be true for other Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party. At that time, the party was the same and the other party was fighting against the differences. If you were not my people, you would not want to pass the exam.

After hearing Ge Dan's words, Zhou Chang quickly stood up and bowed to Ge Dan: "Students, Hezhou students, thank you for your kindness!"

Ge Dan quickly stood up, reached out to help Zhou Chang up, and then said with a smile: "Master Zhou is free from gifts, I will be punished!" When Zhou Chang stood up, Ge Dan smiled and said: "Although this matter was brought up by me, the specific operation still depends on you. First of all, this place is, where does Lord Zhou think it is appropriate to put it?"

Zhou Chang didn't expect Ge Dan to ask this question, and said with a little dazed look: "Isn't it okay to be a state school?"

Ge Dan shook his head: "There are scholars in the state schools, but there are no Juren. If you let Juren go to the state schools, it is not suitable. It is best to find a suitable place to let Juren and scholars go together. You can also study poetry and ask each other for advice on weekdays, which is also beneficial to everyone."

This involves the issue of money. There is no problem with Juren, all Juren are rich.

Although Jin Juren and Yin Jinshi are talking about the difficulty of the exam, there is also the meaning of money here. Everyone says that the scholar is sour, poor scholars, but some people say that the poor scholars are sour, and they are sour. Although Fan Jin passed the exam absurdly, it also has practical significance. Fan Jin, the scholar, was not interested in it and was very poor. However, after passing the exam, the person who gave the money came to his house.

If Ge Dan wants to build such a place, it is naturally impossible for Ge Dan to pay for it, that is, he has to collect money. Although it is not considered a severity, it is almost the same.

The problem here comes. A scholar cannot afford to spend this money, so who will bear it? Ge Dan naturally focused on these rich juren. So whether these juren are willing is a question. If Ge Dan can get the juren from Hezhou to pass the three five Jinshi, let alone the juren from Hezhou, the juren from Nanzhili would come over to pay the money.

Ge Dan does not have this reputation now, so if Ge Dan goes to find him, he is suspected of asking for bribes. It is hard to say that someone needs to do it in the middle. Who is the right one?

Ge Dan glanced at Zhou Chang. Of course, this kind of thing was suitable for Zhou Chang's teaching. First, this is his job, second, Zhou Chang has a high reputation in the local area, and third, many of the juren from Hezhou were handed over by Zhou Chang. With Ge Dan behind him, Zhou Chang went to run errands, which was suitable for him.
