Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2692 newcomer, oldcomer, pastcomer

  Pang Tong quietly left Chang'an and went to Wancheng.

   Others came to Chang'an one after another.

  An industry, a society, and a court, if they can’t make the best use of them, at least they must take good care of the top people.

   This peak wave does not refer to those with vested interests who have reached the upper echelon, nor those high-ranking government officials who talk about five and six, but some capable people who are climbing up. Give these capable people some promotion channels, otherwise it will be a class monopoly every day. Seeing that there are only a few radish pits, sooner or later there will be problems.

  Don’t you see Liu Laoer, a local ruffian, Zhang Daochang, a country doctor, Huang Laoxie, who failed in many trials, Zhu Laoda, a monk who returned to the secular world, Li Gongwu, who was laid off and laid off, and Brother Hong, a scholar who failed the rankings, etc., but they all have a lot to say.

  If these people can't be bought by the beauty of Xiangche, then when they come to get them by themselves, things will be serious.

  Fei Qian is preparing some beauties in Xiangche.

  Everyone hopes to be unique and have great opportunities, but in fact, only a small number of people have the real perseverance to climb all the way up among the thorns.

  This perseverance is manifested in many ways, one of which is the ability to learn.

  Learning is a hard work. People without great perseverance will often be disturbed by some miscellaneous things, or give up halfway. Anyway, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up. So once you learn well, although it may not represent the level of personal ability, at least this kind of person has a little perseverance in persisting in doing one thing.

   It’s not that there are only studies and exams in the world, but that the part of the people who show their abilities in this process meet the requirements of society and the court.

  In this world, many times, the most feared thing is perseverance.

  At least those who have perseverance and are willing to persist will do more and greater things than those who have no perseverance and refuse to persist.

  Therefore, as the person in power in Shanxi at present, Fei Qian naturally needs to take the first step to collect these scholars who are in the countryside and whose own conditions are not good, but are still diligent and persistent.

  As the Enke exams in various counties and counties around Sanfu ended one after another, those who were selected from these counties also began to go to Chang'an one after another.

  First of all, boarding and lodging are free.

  For wealthy country gentry, the cost of board, lodging, carriages and horses is nothing, but for some students from ordinary families, these costs may be a huge obstacle to their advancement. So that some people turned over, but left the root of the disease in their hearts, just like many feudal officials repented after corruption, I come from a poor mountain village...

  Therefore, these benefits that Fei Qian gave to these people did not cost much, but they could gain people's hearts very quickly. Board, lodging, carriage and horse fees are limited to two times per person. If you fail the exam once, you can take the exam again in the next year, but if you still fail the exam, then there will be no free board, lodging, carriage and horses.

  The so-called thing is only three things.

   is also a veiled reminder.

  Secondly, it is to deploy special inspections to be responsible for point-to-point connection.

  These inspections were drawn from Chang'an Sanfu, and they were responsible for picking up and dropping off the students who came to Chang'an for reference.

   Mainly for subtlety.

On the one hand, it is to reduce the situation that ordinary officials take the opportunity to ask for cards during the journey, which causes these students to be adversely affected before they enter the officialdom. On the other hand, most of the inspections are from the army. Those who were born were protected by soldiers, which is actually similar to the meaning of dispatching armed police for a certain exam in later generations.

  If you say that you are sensitive to the situation, businessmen are second to none.

Knowing that when a large number of students come to Chang'an to take the exam, the cost of accommodation and catering will increase a lot. Fortunately, Feiqian attaches great importance to the price of food, and the Dahan Chamber of Commerce will assist in the management, plus the previous paragraph It took time to kill a group of unsightly hoarders, so the price of raw materials for food, that is, grain, rice, noodles, etc., did not increase much, but the price of finished products increased.

  It’s like the tourist season of later generations. The accommodation and catering expenses in the tourist destinations have turned upside down, but the price of local rice flour oil has not changed much. It has little impact on locals, but foreigners...

  So the board and lodging in the post house is still cheap.

  Of course, if there are students who have some money in their pockets and want to experience Chang’an’s customs, gourmet food and so on, the surrounding restaurants and restaurants are also very welcome.

  The preliminary establishment of imperial examinations in prefectures and counties 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, at least it has obvious differentiation.

  The examination in the county is mainly for screening.

  The purpose of screening is to eliminate.

Some people are not suitable for studying, and they are naturally sleepy while holding a book, so there is no need to force it. If it is not suitable for you to take the local test a few times, just switch to another place, and the cost is not high. Otherwise, if you go to Chang'an, you will not pass the test If you don’t give up, you may not be willing to give up. After all, the sunk cost is too high. If you don’t give up, you may not be able to pass the exam next time.

  So taking the exam nearby avoids this problem.

If there are more exams in the future, and they are lowered to one level, in the county, then it is really just a screening. As long as they are willing to put in a little effort, it is not difficult to pass the exam and become a scholar. Under the nine-year compulsory education, as long as it is not too far off the mark, there is basically no problem.

   But further up, it is selection.

   This is especially evident in the Chang'an exam.

   Those who only study hard and those who are really capable will be distinguished in this exam.

  As for the examinations of the academic direction and the male ape direction of later generations, there is not a clear distinction in the current feudal dynasty.

Candidates who can come from various counties and counties have a certain level, 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 the places of Hedong and Taiyuan. The level of students in Hanzhong and Longyou is a little higher, so it is possible that about 80% of the students in a certain county will be admitted, while in some areas it may only be 40% to 50%, or even 20% to 30%...

  In addition to these students, there are also some people in Chang'an who also live in the post station.

   These people are not there to take the exam...

  Such as Song Hang and Cai Yu.

  Song Hang and Cai Yu have been in Chang'an for some time, and they also live in the post house.

  Song Hang arrived first, and then Cai Yu returned to Chang'an later.

  Wang Ming was injured on the way back, it was quite serious, and he is recuperating in the Medical Center, probably at least half a year.

   Not everyone is as lucky as Song Hang and Cai Yu.

  Wang Ming’s escape route was not very peaceful. At first he tried to muddle through, but the checkpoints on the road soon became stricter. Wang Ming had to start to disguise himself, and even walked some small paths in sparsely populated places. Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital, many places in Yin and Heluo areas of Henan Province were full of corpses and extremely desolate. Even if the Yang family vigorously developed, it was only relatively better in the area around Luoyang.

  Wang Ming hadn’t participated in any wilderness survival training before, and he didn’t have any positioning equipment such as a compass. He could only roughly determine the direction by relying on the sky and the sun, but it turned out that it was cloudy...

  When Wang Ming met the hussars to support the troops, he almost lost his nutrition and died in the wilderness.

  So within the post station, Cai Yu is 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 was a rather long vacation.

  Fei Qian did not meet them immediately, but let them rest first, and then imagined what they wanted to do. For these people who have been in the other camp for a long time, it is like three years and three years, and they will become the boss if they don't come again. Sometimes it is inevitable that they will have some habits that are completely different from Guanzhong Sanfu's here.

  The two of them didn't look for any elegant place, they just found a few bean dishes on the table under the window in the post house where they lived, and put some cold food on them.

   Boiled savory beans, some dried meat, and a few small dried fish.

  The wine is also very ordinary, similar to the fermented glutinous rice of later generations. Of course, the degree may be higher than the fermented glutinous rice of later generations. This kind of wine is generally not heated, because it will be more sour when heated, so most of the time it is not heated. Only filtered wine, with relatively few impurities, is necessary to be heated for drinking.

  Cai Yu picked up the wine and gestured to Song Hang, and the two toasted together and drank it down.

   When the wine is down, the chatterbox is considered to have a key to open it.

  『I heard that the hussars are going to drive Enke? Cai Yu said, "Looking at the posthouse, a lot of new people have arrived, and they all say they are going to take the Enke exam this time...I see that they are all holding books, and they are reluctant to put them down when they walk and eat..."

  Song Hang nodded, and then sighed with some emotion, "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, I think back then, when I was in Shoushan Academy, I was holding a book before the exam, wishing I could read two more words..."

  The two couldn't help sighing.

It feels like the post-1970s saw that the new employees of the company were all post-80s, and then the immature post-80s saw the post-90s in a few years, and then rushed up again after the post-00s, making the previous wave One by one shot to death in the company... er, on the beach.

  The two of them sighed and sighed, and then felt that it was best when they were studying...

  Time passed by in a hurry, and the two of them were like beans that were green onions and then turned into boiled beans in salt water on the table. Although they were all beans, they were completely different from the inside to the outside.

  『Brother Song, what are you going to choose? 』After feeling emotional for a while, Cai Yu asked Song Hangdao.

The hussars gave Song Hang and the others a few options to consider. One was to change their name and go to a certain place to be some technical clerk, and then be transferred after a few years of peace. The other was to change their name and just go to Nanzhong Jiaozhi, continue to do their old business, of course, there is also an option to convert some farmland silver or something, and then go home and become a little rich.

  Song Hang was silent for a while, and said, "I still want to be a bachelor of agriculture, and I don't want to go to Nanzhong. 』

  In the eyes of most Han Chinese, the Nanzhong Jiaozhi area is a terrifying wilderness.

  Even though the Jiaozhi area is actually quite close to the level of civilization of the Han family, many people are still afraid.

   Cai Yu nodded, "Then you may be going to Longxi, or you may be going to Sichuan. 』

Most of the officials during this period, especially the newly recruited ones, were basically in these two directions, and very few could stay in Chang'an Sanfu. At the same time, some officials in Sichuan and Shu were promoted to Hanzhong or Hedong areas. It also gave some comfort to the little officials who went to Longxi and Sichuan.

Some people think that spy agents are very interesting, like the ones in movies and TV with special skills, big pockets, and many beauties, but in fact most spies and agents are very hard-working, and even some Spies are still suffering, just like social animals who work desperately to complete the company's assessment indicators, and they are double-duty social animals.

   One copy is in the open, but it can’t be completed. Every day, I will be **** by the leader and scolded by the boss. One copy is in the dark, it can't be finished, don't think about who sleeps well every night, Alexander. What? money? Thinking too much, it's like selling it out, of course I'll give more for the first time, but after the end, I'm old, like three melons and two dates to send beggars...

Although it is said that Fei Qian would not threaten Song Hang and others with his identity as a spy, Song Hang himself felt that the psychological pressure over the years was too great. He didn't want to continue to do this kind of thing. A Bachelor of Agriculture is better.

  Anyway, Song Hang originally covered himself as a Bachelor of Agriculture, and he was familiar with this aspect of things, so it wasn't considered a cross-industry job, but he stayed away from Chang'an Sanfu, and it might be at least five years before he came back.

   How many five years are there in life?

  Cai Yu picked up boiled beans and put them in his mouth to grind them.

   This thing is cooked and then dried. It is like small stones one by one. If you bite it casually, it is easy to break your teeth. You can only grind it slowly.

  Song Hang glanced at Cai Yu, and didn't ask Cai Yu how he would choose in the future, because Song Hang knew that Cai Yu himself was in a difficult situation.

  Different from the officials of Sanfu in Chang’an, Cai Yu is used to being undisciplined with Cao Cao. It is a routine operation to eat and get cards, and even often turns over the wall of his colleagues. Of course, Cai Yu is also different from Lao Cao.

  Old Cao killed the man first, and then his wife, I raised him, Cai Yu, he just comforted those concubines who were too busy for men, and didn't want to kill anyone.

   People from Shandong, in fact, have always had a gentle attitude towards items like concubines, and even feel that others like the concubines in their own family, and they have a radiant face!

  Many rich and powerful families hold banquets, and if some important guests ask for some maids and dancers, they will pack them up without blinking an eye.

  Tang and Song Dynasties are similar, like old man Su who brags about how dedicated he is, he also often gives others concubines...

  In the feudal dynasty, a concubine is more like an item.

  In fact, this custom is similar in later generations.

   It's like being an **** of a certain university in later generations, as long as important friends like it, the school leader's face will be bright! Anyway, they are not my own daughters, they are the wives and daughters of some untouchables, and being able to play with distinguished guests is a blessing!

   But in Guanzhong, or even other counties under the rule of Huqi, Cai Yu has nothing to play.

   It’s not that officials here in Feiqian don’t marry concubines, but because there are Wensi, Dali Temple and Huqifusi who keep a close eye on them.

For example, in Shandong, banquets are held at every turn, big and small eat and drink together, and men and women have fun together, but in Guanzhong, there are only two banquets that can be held publicly. If you want to hold other banquets, it’s not impossible, you need private parties Not to mention paying money, it is easy to attract various audits.

  Why do you want to do it? What is the reason? Who is attending? Is it a human relationship or a money power transaction?

  How can many things be so clearly distinguished?

  Everyone hates trouble, so large-scale banquets have shrunk completely. Basically, there are only some private, small-scale banquets in twos and threes. If it is said that there are too many people for a banquet, many people will directly refuse it, and they don’t want to be approached by someone from the Department of Information or the Department’s direct office. , "This year's targets have been completed? Are you so free to have a party? 』

  So on the whole, the officials under Guan Zhongfeiqian's rule are much more serious than those in Shandong.

  Of course, this is also because most of the officials under Fei Qian's command today are promoted by ability, not by connections. Perhaps at some point in the future, small groups will be formed for various reasons, and then evolve into determining official positions based on connections, but at least for a long time now, they are still very different from Shandong.

  Cai Yu was also very distressed.

  Letting him take some money and go home to be a little rich man looks good, but in fact, even Cai Yu himself knows that according to his habit of prodigal, a golden mountain may not last long. If he were to be an ordinary official, his salary would definitely not be high. Even if there were some subsidies in the early stage, it would not be enough to support Cai Yu's expenses.

   So there's only one path left?

  Cai Yu had a headache.

  『Oh, how did I forget about this? Cai Yu suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands and said, "I was in Shandong, and I heard a secret..."

  『Stop talking! Don't say it! Song Hang held up his palms, "Since it's a secret, don't tell me about it." I don't want to hear these things now..." Song Hang has made up his mind to be an ordinary agricultural bachelor, so naturally he doesn't want to hear these things anymore.

  Cai Yu froze for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly.

  Suddenly, Cai Yu felt that although he and Song Hang were sitting on both sides of the table, they seemed to be separated by a long distance.

  『You can go to Youwen Division...』 Song Hang glanced at Cai Yu, touched the wine glass and said, "If it is valuable, it can be regarded as your meritorious service, and then... there is a better position or something..."

  Cai Yu rolled his eyes, and his emotions returned, "Then ask Brother Song for auspicious words!" Come on, it's getting late, let's drink first, and tomorrow I'll go to Youwen Division! 』
