Inadvertently, it was time for the provincial exam.

If you pass the provincial examination, you will become a Juren. In the political life of Daxia, the promotion of people was a very important step to connect the past and the future.

In the countryside, farmers would occasionally say "Zhang Xiucai" and "Li Xiucai" in a joking tone. Occasionally when they were upset, they would even curse "Sour Scholar" or "Poor Scholar". But there is always only one word to describe a person's success: "Master of Juren".

If a scholar is born into a wealthy gentry family and is older, when writing couplets and giving names during festivals and festivals, he will be worthy of being called "Master Xiucai" by the villagers.

However, regardless of birth status, as long as the person has the ability to have children, he will definitely be able to create a large family of gentry.

The subtext of the so-called "Fan Jin passed the imperial examination" is actually "I want to be an official!".

There are 400 Jinshis nationwide every three years, but there is still not enough to fill the vacancies of central officials. As for local positions, except for officials who are close to the people, they are almost always held by juren, and they often do not need to be officials in other places - this is quite remarkable in an era that pays attention to family development.

If a master suddenly appears in a family, it will only take a moment for the whole village to be honored or suffer. Not to mention that there is a further possibility of becoming him.

For Cheng Jinzhou, the value of promoting people also lies in becoming an official.

Just like what he told Shen Cong before. In theory, Juren is qualified to serve as a county magistrate. Thinking about the land of a county, at least millions of acres of land, or hundreds of mines and trees, Cheng Jinzhou's mouth watered.

With his current status, as long as he has the title of Juren and meets the hard conditions, it is not that difficult to operate.

In addition, he had obtained the exam questions more than a month ago, and he was even more unwilling to give up on this provincial exam.

Therefore, even when Father Li Zhong looked at him with an extremely strange expression and tried his best to persuade him not to participate, Cheng Jinzhou still politely refused - it is not a good thing for a priest to take a priest in the church to take the etiquette exam. Promotional materials, but since Cheng Jinzhou insisted, there was nothing he could do.

Shen Cong also got the question. However, he has a father whose official title is older than his age. When the exam is approaching, he can't even get out of the door and must learn nothing less. It is not so much to save the exam, but to be able to take the exam.

Obviously, it is very difficult to get questions like this during the Jinshi examination. Under normal circumstances, gentlemen still need to work hard on their own.

Time passed slowly while waiting.

News is constantly coming from Xingzhou Temple, but it is a manifestation of bureaucracy and inefficiency.

"The report has passed the review of the Bishops' Committee and is being submitted to the Cardinal for review."

"The report has passed the review of the Cardinal and is being submitted to the Cardinal Committee for review..."

"The report has passed the review of the Council of Cardinals and is being submitted to the Cardinal for review..."

The Holy Church is a huge organization, perhaps the largest organization in the entire world, and it is also the most conservative organization. They have established influence, developed believers, and guided believers all over the world. It also becomes slow and inefficient.

Father Li Zhong seemed to have become accustomed to the performance of Xingzhou Temple. He prepared various rituals and began to promote miracles and "God's favored ones" in Daxia - of course, general propaganda without reference.

In the process of religious spread in the temple, the miracles of the Star God played an irreplaceable role. If the "God's Favored One" is really determined, then someone will naturally help him complete the final miracle work.

The Star Warlock Association looked on coldly and had no reaction for the time being, but it was obvious that Xiang Xin, Cao Feng and others who were familiar with Cheng Jinzhou began to appear frequently.

His results report also seems to have attracted more people's attention - although it cannot be entirely attributed to the publicity of the Star Warlock Association, it has increased by nearly 10 contribution points every week, which is still an increase for old articles two or three months old. A lot. Regrettably, his Yang's double-slit interference experiment still did not arouse enough interest from people - there are really not many optical researchers. In fact, most good research, especially research that transcends the times, always lasts for several years or decades before it bursts into dazzling brilliance.

Among the three poles of Daxia, Cheng Jinzhou belongs to the Holy Church, while the Star Warlock Association is busy on its own. The remaining state power is actually the royal family, and its attitude towards Cheng Jinzhou has not improved much.

The imperial censors still attacked the Ministry of Revenue and its warehousing policy, Hou Wenwu provided ammunition, and Emperor Zhu Pi did not write a word, but forwarded them all to Di Bao, leaving it to the scholars to judge.

Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, including Cheng Yunan, are under tremendous pressure.

When you think about it, this is not surprising. The imperial censor must be in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, and warehousing is the lifeblood of the country - to a certain extent, the reason why the royal family is able to balance the power of the Star Warlocks is also due to its status in logistics supply.

Astromancers themselves do not work, but require ordinary people to work to support them. How ordinary people work requires the state to control and guide them, and the most important thing is of course to collect taxes to extract nutrients.

Unless the Astromancers are willing to waste their time on endless politics, personnel management, and the little things of how to collect taxes, they will always need a regime to provide the necessities of experimentation and life-years of experience have taught them that retaining a A stable regime is necessary.

The organization that was re-established by oneself was unstable and inefficient.

Its performance is the same as that of a subsidiary of a huge group, compared with those of flexible and flexible private enterprises.

The cleverness of the Bactrian royal family was that they were able to expand the necessary political power without exceeding the bottom line of the Star Warlocks.

On the other hand, the royal family certainly does not want the Star Warlocks to control too many resources.

Cheng Jinzhou's behavior actually touched the bottom line. If he hadn't been a different star warlock, he would have been hit as hard as possible. It is completely different from the current side-tracking.

Despite this, Cheng's father gradually became interested in returning to Shaonan.

In terms of character, those who rise to the challenge when encountering difficulties are often traffickers, butchers and robbers, while those who hide when encountering difficulties are men of letters.

Father Cheng is not very willing to accept one test after another in the household department. The work of the household department was not what he was good at. The more intense and hidden intrigues and the impeachment from the Yushitai made him feel a little exhausted. The memorial in the newspaper and the malicious slander from his colleagues hurt him even more.

In addition, he will miss Shaonan's comfortable life. At that time, he was the magistrate of Shaonan, the real leader, and the legitimate son of the Cheng family of Shaonan. He only needed to work two hours a day to handle things properly. After coming to the capital, he often worked 10 hours a day. , the so-called poor Beijing officials are not unreasonable.

Go one step further. Back then, Cheng Jinzhou came to the capital from Shaonan to go to school. Now he no longer has to go to Hongwen Hall, and he can naturally stay in the church. As a father, it seems more valuable for him to return to Shaonan to lay a solid foundation.

Cheng Yun'an secretly made a plan and started to operate it carefully. It would be the most ideal situation if he could be promoted to a higher level before leaving the household department and then take a job in Jinchuan Prefecture. In addition, one must also consider that finding a suitable position would not be a matter of time.

Under the surging undercurrent, Cheng Jinzhou was still waiting in confusion. The main things every day have become checking the autonomous trading platform and learning mathematics with Ys.

The former customer service 010 did what he said and was noisy on time for 4 hours every day. What I have to admit is that his mathematical ability is obviously much better than the expert professors Cheng Jinzhou has seen.

In Ys's own words: I'm like teaching knotting to primitive people.

When he taught Cheng Jinzhou, he started from elementary geometry, and completely followed Cheng Jinzhou's own knowledge structure - this was not an easy task, a bit like a teacher who has taught advanced mathematics for 30 years trying to solve the problem for primary school students. Mathematical Olympiad questions are just as difficult.

Don’t be discriminatory about the Mathematical Olympiad in elementary school. Completing the Mathematical Olympiad questions in the Elementary School without the use of algebra, equations, auxiliary lines, or calculus is a bit like asking an elephant to peel corn. It is difficult to succeed even if you are covered in stinky sweat.

But in terms of effect, it is indeed quite good.

To a certain extent, the way Yisu teaches Cheng Jinzhou is more like starting from the basics rather than learning - he will guide Xiao Cheng to look at the circle with the knowledge of Pythagoras' time, and use the knowledge of the Greeks to Look at geometry from a different perspective...

Facing such a vast world with so few known conditions seems to broaden people's horizons inadvertently.

However, this kind of education seems to be only suitable for gentlemen with long life spans. A mere few decades is definitely not enough to be wasted like this.

Even so, seeing Cheng Jinzhou's slow learning speed, Yi Su was still quite dissatisfied and said, "I should have tested your IQ."

"It must be ten percent of the world." Cheng Jinzhou is quite confident in this. He has extremely smart parents, but they are not good at education.

Yisu didn't know what he was thinking of. He hung up the day's explanation on the screen where the customer service function was not turned on, and said, "You'd better learn it quickly. It will be good for you."

After several changes, Cheng Jinzhou was very sensitive to the reminder from the former customer service man. He couldn't help but slow down and said, "What's going to happen again?"

"The Covenant will not give up looking for me. After they have inspected a limited number of high-level planets, they will consider how to inspect lower-level planets."

"How to check?" Cheng Jinzhou's brows twitched.

"Anyway, it won't be a good thing." Yisu's expression was indifferent, as if he was looking forward to death.
