The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 949 Let’s release the results

As the Imperial Examination approaches on June 15th, the people of Shengyuan Continent pay much less attention to the Palace Examination. After all, there are few Jinshis taking the Palace Examination, and the children who take the Jinshi Examination are scattered all over Shengyuan Continent.

Starting from early June, some child candidates in Ning'an County went to Fucheng in Qingwu Prefecture, either in groups or accompanied by their parents, where the scholar examinations were held.

The government examination lasted for three days, from June 15th to the early morning of June 18th.

Ning'an County has been very quiet during the past few days of the Xiucai Examination, because all the candidates have gone to Qingwu Prefecture and have nothing to do with Ning'an City.

For Ning'an County, the only change is that many people are waiting for June 19 to go to the gate of the County Liberal Arts Academy to watch the results.

On June 18, the examiners will review the test papers.

On the early morning of June 19th, Fang Yun and Lord Wan Yuan were sitting in the courtyard of the County Literary Academy, drinking the finest Baihao Silver Needle together, which was Wan Yuan Lord’s private collection. Fang Yun praised this white tea. Don't stop talking.

"Brother Wan, can your family get used to living in Ning'an County? It's not as good as Dayuan Mansion. It's close to the Yangtze River and the air is humid. Ning'an is much worse." Fang Yun put down the teacup in his hand.

"I am a minister, so this kind of change is not a big deal, but my wife was not accustomed to the climate when she first came here, so I still trusted you and asked people from the Medical Hall to help cure her. Now she is no longer in serious trouble."

"I still remember this." Fang Yun nodded, then poured himself tea.

After a while, Lord Wan Yuan said: "The time is coming. Qingwu Mansion should release the results soon. At that time, you and I will receive the letter from Magistrate Cai as soon as possible. Although I serve as Xuezheng in Dayuan Mansion, I have never I am in charge of a county liberal arts college, and I am worried about whether the number of scholars in our Ning'an County High School will increase this year compared to last year."

"Let nature take its course. I, the county magistrate who is undergoing the palace examination, am not in a hurry. You don't need to pay too much attention. This year I came to Ning'an for the first time and my education is not obvious. Next year, the number of Ning'an people who are high school scholars will definitely increase significantly." Fang Yun was modest but Be confident.

Wanyuan Jun said: "I think so too. If you had come to Ning'an half a year earlier, I would have prepared a celebration banquet now, because the number of talents in Ning'an County will definitely increase dramatically this year, but it is a pity..."

Fang Yun said: "I won't mention this. Qingwu Mansion will take one hundred and sixty scholars this year, and the first thirty can all go to Shushan. The number far exceeds previous years, which is a blessing for the human race."

Mr. Wan Yuan smiled and said: "Aside from the unusual changes in Wenquxing, it is mainly because of your great contribution that I, Jing Guo, received the Holy Academy Award. Otherwise, how could there be so many scholars and places in Shushan?"

"Wanyuan-kun, you have given me the award."

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, he noticed that the official seal was trembling slightly, and an official document came.

Fang Yun and Lord Wan Yuan looked at each other and held their official seals together.

The swan geese flew out and turned into a message, floating in front of Fang Yun. It was the list of new talents for the government examination sent by Cai He, the prefect of Qingwu Prefecture.

The number one scholar is the one from Qingwu Prefecture. Fang Yun nodded slightly. After all, the prefecture is larger than the county seat, with a larger population and educational resources far beyond that of any county. In the annual scholar examination, almost all the top three in each prefecture are taken by children from the prefecture. Take it all.

Fang Yun continued to look down and saw that the top three children were still from Qingwu Prefecture. This situation had lasted for more than ten years.

At the same time, Fang Yun heard Lord Wan Yuan sigh, and thought to himself that Lord Wan Yuan was the same as himself, seeing that none of the top three scholars were from Ning'an. However, Fang Yun has a good mentality and is not too persistent.

Although the imperial examination results account for a large proportion in the education subject, they are not the final word. After all, the time for Jinshi to govern a county is very short.

Qingwu Prefecture has one prefectural city and seven county towns, with a total of eight cities competing.

Generally speaking, among the top ten scholars every year, Ning'an County can only have one scholar in the top ten every one or two years. If there are two scholars in the top ten in a year, the serving county magistrate will even receive a commendation from the court.

Fang Yun continued to read down, but after reading the top ten, he was stunned.

Mr. Wan Yuan suddenly said excitedly: "Fang... Lord Fang, did I read it wrong? There are actually four people from Ning'an County among the top ten scholars? Are they equal to the number of people in Fucheng? This has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It’s something! Wait until I rub my eyes... Yes, you read that right, although the ranking is not as high as that of Fucheng’s scholars, they do occupy four of the top ten!”

Fang Yun raised his head and looked at Mr. Wan Yuan. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wan Yuan actually rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but smile.

"Keep reading." Fang Yun said.

"Um."

Fang Yun stopped after reading the top thirty, because the top thirty scholars can go to Shushan, which is relatively important.

And among the thirty new talents, eleven are actually from Ning'an County, and there are only ten talents from Fucheng!

Among the top 30, Ning'an County comprehensively surpassed Qingwu Prefecture and other counties.

"Sir...Sir, your ability to teach your disciples is amazing! You don't have to be humble. We all know the level of Ning'an County. Ji Zhibai almost vomited blood last year because he wanted the children of Ning'an County to get good grades in the government examination. As a result, There is only one more scholar than the year before, but this year is good. Once you take action, the number of Ning'an scholars among the top 30 actually exceeds that of Fucheng! "

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Continue reading, there are 160 talents admitted this time, and I Ning'an has the most in the top 30, but the total number may not be the same."

The two of them continued to look down. Fang Yun was a Jinshi, and Wanyuanjun was a Juren. Fang Yun read it in advance and found that among the 160 new talents, Ning'an County accounted for a full fifty-four, surpassing the four in Fucheng. Thirteen, not to mention six other counties.

Fang Yun looked up and saw Lord Wan Yuan staring at the letter in front of him, seemingly foolishly.

Fang Yun smiled and shook his head, walked to the desk, spread out the paper of the gold list that had been prepared long ago, and began to copy the rankings of the scholars in the county.

"Fifth in the prefectural examination, Zhang Yun, B middle, B middle, B upper. Sixth in the prefectural examination, Xu Changwei, B middle, B middle, B upper. Eighth in the prefectural examination..."

When Fang Yun copied more than half of it, Wan Yuanjun came to his senses and said hurriedly: "I didn't expect such a shocking result, I lost my composure."

"It doesn't matter." Fang Yun glanced at the official seal while speaking. It has been shaking since he copied the rankings. It is probably another inquiry or congratulation from many friends.

Fang Yun didn't care about the official seal and said: "The people outside the Academy of Literature are still waiting, let's finish copying first."

Fang Yun copied three pages of the gold list before writing down the fifty-four people.

"Come on, hang up the scholar gold list." Fang Yun said.

"Yes!" The two officers at the door came in. They looked a little surprised when they heard Wan Yuanjun's words. They looked at the table and were shocked.

"Three pages of the list?" The officer shut up after saying that. In previous years, one page of the list was enough.

"Go ahead." Fang Yun said.

Wan Yuanjun rushed forward two steps, grabbed a page of the list, and said, "I will post it myself."

"Yes." Fang Yun said with a smile.

"This is a big happy event in Ning'an County. Your Excellency, you won't come in person?" Wan Yuanjun said.

"I won't join in the fun." Fang Yun shook his head gently.

Wan Yuanjun was stunned, thinking about something, and realized that Fang Yun had long surpassed his level.

"Then I will go."

Wan Yuanjun was seen holding a page of the list in front, and two officers holding the list behind, and the three of them walked happily towards the front door of the Academy of Literature.

The officials along the way were all stunned when they saw the three pages of the list, and then their eyes lit up and they hurriedly followed.

The main door of the county academy slowly opened, and Wan Yuanjun's face was filled with a happy smile, and he said with thunder: "Post... the list......"

The joyful voice spread throughout Ning'an County.
