Chapter 402： Exchange after the exam

After the township examination, there will be a test, which is all in Nanjing. Juren who have been successful in other places have to hurry to Nanjing, and they will not wait until they expire.

In order to take care of the candidates from other places, the trial will be set on March 15th, which is two months away.

Juren in Nanjing has a bit of advantage. They can use this time to concentrate on studying instead of rushing.

Rich people from other places can hire a carriage and learn while they are on the way.

As for those candidates who need to walk on their own legs, they can only bear the unfairness of this world silently.

There will be about 2,500 candidates participating in the test, mainly because of the large number of people from the previous dynasty who are also eligible to participate in the test.

There were more than 2,500 people. According to the old system, only 300 people were admitted, and the elimination rate was also quite high.

However, as long as it can be selected, then the lowest can be mixed into the top three Jinshi.

If the top three jinshi become officials, you can start from the eighth rank county princes, county lieutenants and other officials.

Don't underestimate the official position of Xian Cheng. Xian Cheng is about equal to the deputy county head of later generations. In terms of locality, that is a proper high official.

The difficulty for later generations to be a deputy county magistrate is also infinite. In short, 99.99% of the people have no play.

There are still two months of preparation time. Some candidates are celebrating and relaxing, and some are summing up their experience in the imperial examination.

Various reading clubs have also been born, restaurants, academies, Xuanwu Lake, and Qinhuai River are all good places for them to chat.

Especially on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, a few scholars talked about this seemingly very tall topic, and those prostitutes were boasting from time to time. That kind of pride came.

"From the content of this imperial examination, I have understood the thoughts of the imperial court. There is no shortage of officials in the imperial court, but practical talents."

Yuan Jie analyzed that this is his latest insight.

"Yes, I saw a candidate with a very low total score, but because he did a good job in translating, he was granted the status of Juren. Moreover, he has been transferred to the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Etiquette.

The imperial court meant that he didn't have to take the examination later, which was of little significance. A provincial examination could tell him what he was suitable for. "

Another candidate said.

"As an official, you can only start with a nine-rank official at most. The future development is not big."

Xie Jin expressed his disdain, he also failed this time, ranking 130th.

Seeing a person whose grades were worse than himself was hit, he felt more or less uncomfortable.

Therefore, by the way, he began to despise the other person's life, and regarded the entrance examination as the right way.

If you think this way, you can make yourself feel better.

"However, this is also a good choice for him. According to his ability, if he might have spent his entire life in the country examination level before. Now, he can be an official."

Yuan Jie said.

When everyone heard it, they nodded one after another, saying that it was indeed the truth.

The current hundred-point system allows an examinee to quickly see their own abilities without having to spend all their lives in the imperial examinations as before.

After the list was released, some of the candidates who had performed extremely poorly had already seen themselves clearly, so they were determined to change their careers.

For example, if you study a foreign language for a few months, you can go to Songjiang to do a translation. The income is higher than those of the eight-rank and nine-rank officials.

For another example, go to specialize in writing novels.

At present, Nanjing has as many as eight types of newspapers, and novel newspapers account for two. Both newspapers are particularly short of people who write novels. At present, some poor scholars are writing novels part-time to make money.

Some people who write well earn quite a lot of money.

What is the difference between being able to make money and being an official?

To be a petty official, you must flatter the people above, be greedy for some money, and worry about being investigated, so you're afraid.

Writing novels, I make money by my own ability, and my life is more worry-free and free.

Unconsciously, the concept of some scholars has undergone drastic changes.

Before the change, those scholars would never have such an idea. Reading the imperial examination is the only right way.

This kind of change, if we look into it in depth, is actually the result of technological progress and the development of capitalism.

In the past, ordinary people wanted to make money and live a high life. There were very limited ways to be an official and business.

Doing business requires capital and connections. These are more difficult than imperial examinations.

Therefore, not all the former scholars liked to be officials, but to change their destiny, the only way to be an official was to become an official.

That's why there is such a sentence, everything is inferior, only high school.

But now it's different. With the progress of society, there are more ways to make money.

Do translation, write novels, do scientific research, and even play football.

No matter which line it is, as long as it is done well, the income is quite expensive.

Some emerging industries have huge profits that no one knows.

If there were more choices, those scholars would not have to hang themselves on the imperial examination tree.

With the development of society, there will be more and more ways to achieve oneself.

"No, no, no, what's the point of studying and being an official without the goal of entering the cabinet and being ranked among the three men?"

Xie Jin is still insisting on his point of view.

Some people disagreed and chose to argue with him, and some smart people watched silently and didn't say anything.

They all saw it. In fact, Xie Jin was a way of self-comfort.

By insisting on the notion that he must be admitted to the scholarship, he will have in his heart a kind of inability to be an official not because of his incompetence, but because he has more ambitious goals.

This is a kind of self-evasion.

When the times change drastically, some people who are unable to adapt to this drastic change and dare not to meet the challenge will often resort to this kind of escape.

Just as new learning is in full swing nowadays, there are still some traditional scholars who refuse to learn to change.

Because they are scared inside, scared, afraid to face it.

Therefore, they can only regard the study of the Four Books and the Five Classics as an extremely correct thing, and treat the new style of learning as a heresy.

In this way, they can comfort their hearts.

Let them have an illusion in their hearts that they do not learn new knowledge not because they are afraid that they will not learn it, but because they disdain to learn it.

People who understand Xie Jin are all trying to save him face, but there are also people who like to compete with Xie Jin in an in-depth dispute.

As a result, Xie Jin naturally couldn't compete.

The face-lost Xie Jin was a little angry. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the prostitute who accompanied the wine laughed and came out to make a round, persuade everyone to drink, change the subject, and enliven the atmosphere.

After two sentences, everyone forgot the unhappiness just now, and laughed and looked forward to the future.
