Chapter 376： The pattern is opened

Chapter 376 The pattern is opened

Liang Shaoqian cleared his throat and glanced at the classmates on both sides. Just when he was about to give up, Gong Haining directly threw out a silver coin and said, "Brother Liang has a lot, please speak up."

Everyone gave Gong Haining a thumbs up and stared at Liang Shaoqian.

"Hmph! Am I that kind of philistine person?" Liang Shaoqian curled his lips and put away the money. He was secretly happy. With this money, he could buy more rouge and gouache for Xue Yan, and even his pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all there. .

Yang Sizhuang looked at this scene, as if he saw his third brother, his eyes widened, but he heard Liang Shaoqian say quietly: "The imperial examination is going to be reformed."

"What!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the scholars who were still studying hard rushed towards Liang Shaoqian. Some nerds who didn't know why also put down their books and gradually came closer.

Xu Nuoshan looked up at Liang Shaoqian solemnly, "Shaoqian, where did you get this news? Is it true? This is a serious matter, so don't talk nonsense!"

Liang Shaoqian looked around mysteriously, patted his chest proudly and vowed: "My father is the head of the construction department of the government office. Now he is in charge of protecting the city wall in the east of the city. He has participated in many important decisions made by the prefect. The prefect also said this, and I think there will be confirmation next year.”

Everyone looked at each other and felt inexplicably relieved. Now that autumn is coming, if the system is restructured at this time, everyone will be caught off guard. Starting next year, as long as they take the exam well this time, they will still have a chance!

Nearly everyone had the same idea. For a moment, everyone surrounding Liang Shaoqian dispersed and continued to sit in their seats and study hard.

Liang Shaoqian was a little puzzled, "Aren't they curious about him?"

Hua Yongnian laughed and shook his head, "Brother Liang, autumn is just around the corner, how can anyone be curious! Even if you are really curious, you have to wait until autumn is over. Knowing too much can easily mess up your mind!"

The exam is all about talent and mentality, both of which are indispensable. Knowing too much at this time is not good for everyone.

Liang Shaoqian sat down in confusion. Seeing that everyone around him was working hard, he also followed suit.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of autumn.

Gongyuan is as lively as ever.

Jiang Ning personally sent Yang Sizhuang in and warned him in every possible way. However, after several exams, Yang Sizhuang still couldn't hold on and was carried out in the last one.

Jiang Ning almost fainted from the fright. Fortunately, Zhong Mianmian made preparations in advance and even invited a doctor to treat him on the spot. Finally, he was safe.

When Yang Sizhuang opened his eyes, he found that he was already at home. The clothes on his body were all new and there was no smell. It seemed that his servants had packed them for him when he was unconscious.

Jiang Ning came over after hearing the news, feeling extremely distressed, "Why do you think you can do it so well? When you were carried out yesterday, my mother-in-law was almost frightened to death!"

Thinking of the chaotic scene yesterday, Jiang Ning still felt his head buzzing. Fortunately, Mr. Li and the others were gone. If the old couple knew that their grandson had fainted during the exam, the sky would collapse.

Yang Sizhuang felt extremely guilty. He stood up and apologized, "Auntie, I was wrong. I shouldn't have messed up the rules because of the imperial examination reform. I'm sorry!" He was inexplicably flustered, and he was not good at talking to others, so he could only think about it silently. In the end, he could only fight like everyone else. In the end, his mentality was not good enough.

"Reforming the Imperial Examination System? Who did you listen to?" Jiang Ning was a little surprised. Some news from the imperial court must not have spread yet.

Yang Sizhuang smiled bitterly, "Mom, there is no airtight wall in this world. I won't hide it from you. It was the eldest brother-in-law who told us that his father is the head of the construction department of the government. He is often around the prefect and knows a lot. information."

Jiang Ning was not surprised at all.

This time Yang Sizhuang was surprised, "Auntie, you also know?"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "It's a long story. If you want to dig deeper, this matter is closely related to what happened in Quzhou Prefecture in the past two years, but it doesn't have much to do with you."

“Please let me clear up my doubts.” Yang Sizhuang straightened his body.

Jiang Ning sighed softly and said helplessly: "Quzhou Prefecture needs to build a city wall, and the organs below the Dragon King Temple need to be destroyed. The court needs a large number of talents who know how to create astronomy and geography. You are also a scholar yourself. You should know that the court now mainly selects talents. No matter what the exam is, the talents selected in this way cannot meet the needs of the imperial court, so starting from next year, the imperial court will add corresponding talent selection, and if they pass the exam, they will also receive corresponding honors, just like the normal imperial examination. "

Yang Sizhuang was shocked, and the situation was suddenly opened up, "Aniang, if the system is restructured like this, wouldn't it mean that we have to set up additional examination questions and arrange examination rooms?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "It's just that starting next year, there will be additional county exams, government exams, hospital exams, and township exams. From now on, they will be together with the ordinary imperial exams.

Everyone can take the exam, but those without merit must start from the county exam. But those who have passed the college exam can directly take the provincial exam. If you can do these questions, do it. If you can't do it, do the Four Books and Five Classics. Anyway, yes It gives scholars who are determined to become officials one more choice. "

Yang Sizhuang was always smart, and he understood it in just one moment, "No wonder the eldest brother-in-law is so happy. He comes from a construction family. He may not be as good as others in the Four Books and Five Classics, but when it comes to construction, it is not difficult."

It’s just that my son doesn’t understand why there is such a big fanfare to recruit talents just because of the affairs in Quzhou Prefecture? "

"That's right, your eldest brother-in-law is a lucky man." Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, with a little sigh on his face, "As for why the imperial court wanted to mobilize so many troops, I don't know. I am not in the capital now, and many news still come from Ji. I heard it from the adults.”

She is a woman. Although she has been favored by the emperor and given a knighthood, she has no real power. Too much interference in government affairs will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people and will not be beneficial to her. Therefore, she has always maintained a relationship with Ji Wuya and helped each other. Wuya would also reciprocate the favor and tell her many of the court's developments.

Hearing this, Yang Sizhuang became more and more eager to get ahead, "Auntie, I will work hard."

Jiang Ning smiled and touched his head, "Now that the opportunity is in front of you, you can take good care of yourself. If you want to try again next year, you can."

At worst, she would have to pay more attention and give her child some astronomy and geography knowledge.

Yang Sizhuang only hesitated for a moment before shaking his head decisively, "Auntie, that's not my original intention. I'd better study hard, keep in shape, and then quit in three years."

It’s the second brother. In the past, the second brother was very resistant to studying. He just said that seeing those things would give him a headache. Now there is an opportunity in front of him, so he can give it a try.

There is also the fact that before Fugui, he did not dare to think about studying because of his biological mother. Now that he knows that his biological mother is not a slave, it will not be any hindrance to him. Before, he had been doing woodwork with his grandfather, and now he is with him. The second brother is doing masonry work next to him, so he has a lot more experience than others, and he knows the words that need to be recognized, so he might actually have a chance. "
