Shennong Daojun

Chapter 10: Apprenticeship and additional training, Xiaoshu assessment

The first straw man weaved was wobbly and unsteady.

The second walking straw man staggered, but his figure was stable.

The third man walked again, his pace gradually became faster and faster.

When Xue Wenzhong came back from the front yard, he was shocked to see a straw man in the backyard, walking as fast as flying; the second straw man, jumping among the haystacks; the third straw man, swinging under the locust tree; the fourth straw man , plowing grain beside; the fifth grass man, weeding in the vegetable garden.

Although there were several "failures" that overturned the food basket, knocked down the clothing pole, and sent chickens and ducks flying, Xue Wenzhong simply ignored them.

He stared at the Fuxingcrows who were beginning to take on their charm, and walked quickly to Zhao Xing, who was holding a clothes rack and collecting a vegetable basket: "I've only been out for half an hour, and you did this?"

Zhao Xing looked at the messy backyard and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue, I can clean it up soon, but there is a duck that has flown out of the fence... I'll pay you one!"

The wrinkles on Xue Wenzhong's face squeezed together because of his smile. He grabbed Zhao Xing and said: "What does a mere duck mean? Don't worry about it!"

He patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder: "Work hard and try to get a top grade in the winter evaluation. After passing the spring temple exam, you will be officially accepted. There will be a place for you."

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Old Sinong was not blaming himself, he smiled and handed over his hands: "Thank you, teacher."

"It's just that there are so many experts in agricultural supervision, and I am of low status, I may not be able to win..."

Xue Wenzhong understood the part that Zhao Xing was hesitant to say, which was referring to the phenomenon that the other agricultural workers had taken benefits from their subordinates, started small businesses privately, and helped each other vigorously.

"You have such a talent, but I ignored it in the past. It was really my mistake. From now on, you can come to the backyard and learn for an extra hour every day."

Zhao Xing hesitated just now, because he wanted this effect. Xue Wenzhong's words already meant that he regarded himself as a disciple. How could he not know how to climb up the ladder?

His title changed instantly, and he bowed and said, "Disciple, thank you very much for your cultivation."

Xue Wenzhong also had a whim. In the past, he would not fight for it, but when he saw a good seedling when he was old, he also had some thoughts, so he accepted this worship:

"Keep working hard, don't waste your talents, work hard, and sooner or later you will get ahead. I don't care what others do. If you can't make it in the next year, then I will abdicate and leave my position to you!"

If other leaders had said this, Zhao Xing would have thought it was a pie in the sky.

But what Xue Wenzhong said is still very credible. Firstly, his character is trustworthy and trustworthy. Secondly, he is old and could have chosen to retire long ago.

If there are not enough places at that time, and Zhao Xing's ranking is just on the edge, maybe he will actually abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his position.

"Thank you teacher, I will study hard and live up to teacher's expectations."

In the next three days, Zhao Xing learned the fourth method of straw man fabrication from Xue Wenzhong.

Even Xue Wenzhong was surprised by Zhao Xing's progress. You must know that Zhao Xing only practiced "Liu Chuan's Compilation Method" for an hour!

Zhao Xing was also very emotional:

"With the dual blessings of luck and treasures, not only did my practice speed up, but I also gained the respect of Old Sinong. The Dameng Academy is indeed a good place. I got such a big change just because I got a few benefits. "

However, these days, when he tried to enter the Great Dream Academy again at night, he found that even the Questioning Platform was hidden. He didn't know if he was too weak and there was no suitable level for him to break through.

At this time, Zhao Xing was walking in the fields in the eastern suburbs.

Small officials working in agriculture usually study in the morning and work in the afternoon.

In addition to miscellaneous matters such as persuading farmers and inspecting acceptance, there are also responsible areas. Of course, this all depends on which aspect the supervisor is responsible for.

There are disadvantages and advantages to having more people. It is relatively easy under Xue Wenzhong. Because when there are more people, there are fewer chores assigned by the boss, and it becomes less busy.

You can take more time to study and prepare for exams.

There are many parts to the job transfer of agricultural officer.

The first is the harvest of the towns and villages under their jurisdiction. This part is counted by the county government and is not supervised by the Secretary for Agriculture.

Most of the villages and towns were pretty much the same, but they were also divided into upper, middle, and lower third-class fields. Naturally, those assigned to good jurisdictions would be better. However, Xue Wenzhong did not argue, and the good ones were divided among the other farmers.

The second is the moral evaluation, which covers many things, including the completion of chores assigned by the Shangguan, learning attitude, reputation, etc. There is no specific standard because the authority is in the hands of the Shangguan.

The third is the ability assessment, which is based on the content of the twenty-four solar terms. Among them, the four o'clock and eight festivals, namely: the beginning of spring, the vernal equinox, the beginning of summer, the summer solstice, the beginning of autumn, the autumnal equinox, the beginning of winter, and the winter solstice are required. The remaining key points are: The planting solar term and harvest solar term are also included in the investigation.

For example, the evaluation of Mang Zhong a month ago was based on whether the last wave of Yuandao planting was completed and the survival rate.

The person responsible for setting the questions and the person assessing the test are all Sinong, Chen Shijie, a member of the ninth rank.

The above three types are counted as "normal points", and those with the highest scores will be recommended by the agricultural supervisor to go to "Nanyang County Prefecture" at the end of the year. The three are combined into one, which is the "winter evaluation".

The winter evaluation will sometimes continue with a wave of exams, but it also depends on the situation. It mainly depends on how Nanyang County performed in the previous year. If you can pass other counties and there are enough places allocated by the court, you may not need to take the exam again.

In the coming spring, I will have to go through a temple exam.

The imperial court will set the questions and further select the places submitted by each county.

Once you pass the temple exam, it will be settled.

Then it is the ‘official acceptance’, the court issues a formal appointment document, and accepts the baptism of luck in the temple, becoming a part of the luck dynasty system of the Great Zhou.

To put it bluntly, this is a series of job transfer tasks.

Zhao Xing also changed his job during the reign of Emperor Jing in his previous life, and he is very familiar with this process. It is still a bit difficult during this period.

It will be much easier when the revival version comes.

However, there are advantages to being difficult, and many things are simply out of print later.

"I have the blessing of luck and treasures, and it should not be difficult to change my job and land." Zhao Xing walked briskly towards the public fields with full confidence.

The summer solstice has passed, and the Lesser Heat will soon come.

The Yuan rice in the public fields of the county government has begun to mature.

This year's winter assessment part of the ability assessment did not test the ‘Summer Solstice’, so the Lesser Heat will definitely not be ‘byes’ again, otherwise it will not be possible to complete the basic rounds of the winter assessment.

At this time, most of the clerks of the Sino-Agricultural Supervisory Office basically ran to the public fields. They would not wait for the exam until the time was up, so there were already many clerks waiting in the public fields of Gucheng.

"Everyone is waiting for the Xiaoshu exam. Why is it a bit like the scene in the previous life?" Zhao Xing looked at it and felt that it was quite a bit like the feeling of scrambling for public elective courses when he was in college in his previous life.

But it was normal. If you missed an evaluation once, although you would not be eliminated, the impact would be very large. No one dared to guarantee that you could pass the exam if you missed a score in a subject.

Zhao Xing walked into the public field and clearly felt the steaming heat. His body began to sweat. Even if he cast the [Xingyun] spell to block the sun, it was a bit difficult to resist.

After waiting for a while, he saw Chen Ziyu and Qian Dong, as well as Li Chengfeng, Wen Nanxing and others who also rushed over to take the exam.

Everyone, without exception, was sweating by the side of the field. It was really hot like a dog.

"It's only the Lesser Heat, but the sun is as hot as the Greater Heat. Chen Sinong really has a bad taste. Brother, what tricky questions do you think he will give this time?" Chen Ziyu asked.

"How should I know? Isn't your last name Chen?"

"Although it's the same last name, he is a temporary official. His hometown is Xishan County. It has nothing to do with me." Chen Ziyu curled his lips.

"It's better to save your energy and wait." Qian Dong waved his straw hat weakly.

Just when everyone was wilting with heat, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the south.

"Look, what is that?!"

"It's a test question, the test question is here!"

"Oh my God, it's..."
