After being politically qualified, looking at his writing and argumentation, it should be said that there is something remarkable about it. The fastest updated analysis and argumentation are quite innovative - it is difficult for ordinary old scholars to have such insights. It should be written by someone with a little bit of "Australian learning". Such people themselves "actively demand progress" and should be tilted in their ratings.
As for the shortcomings, it is nothing more than a limited level of lucidity in the writing, and there are some typos and incorrect sentences. However, the writing and logic are smooth, and even people with low educational levels can understand it. Therefore, there is no need to care too much about literature and science.
Zhang Yunmi finally severely criticized the naturalized cadres and told them that people cannot judge certain things based on their own likes and dislikes. The more they face such a situation, the more they must uphold their impartiality. At the same time, he also told the surrendered cadres of the old literati that we are all Australian officials and should unite sincerely, because there can be disputes about work. Our Senate supports "letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend", but it is not good if it rises to personal attacks. There are four "chickens" She doesn’t know how to write it! So the matter of playing fifty big boards each was over.
Liu Xiang and others also attach great importance to the first civil service examination: although this civil service examination should be regarded as a "local civil service examination", considering that the Senate will soon move its capital to Guangzhou, many of these civil servants will probably also be admitted. They were transferred to the central and provincial departments, so the issue of political "reliability" must first be considered when selecting.
However, after checking the personal information of these applicants, it was found that this reliability is not something to worry about. Among the 1,899 people who came to take the exam, only two had the reputation of being former Ming scholars, which was only slightly more than 1 of the total number of candidates. There is no scholar or higher scholar.
Before the recruitment examination, a fierce debate broke out in the Lingao Senate in a serious manner, that is, whether the Ming Dynasty's Juren and Jinshi could participate in the civil service recruitment examination. Many people said that such people would never be allowed from the perspective of a pure team." Join the revolutionary ranks."
He even got into the revolutionary ranks! Liu Xiang thought to himself, people take the initiative to draw a clear line with you!
However, it is good to draw a clear line. Although the sensational effect will be gone without the "Ji Ren" and "Jinshi" vote, and the publicity will definitely be dissatisfied, there will be no endless verbal disputes in the Senate.
Judging from the registration information, those who took the public examination were mainly "tong students" who were educated in sociology and private schools, as well as small traders, clerks, craftsmen, etc. who had studied for several years and were already engaged in various businesses. Generally speaking, they are basically citizens, and there are also farmers in the suburbs. There are very few people who are born into extreme poverty, and most of them belong to the middle and lower classes in the city - this also confirms the saying that studying requires capital.
Although they all have a certain level of education, considering that except for a very small number of candidates, most of them do not have a foundation in "Macao studies", although the questions in the test are not very "modern", they are very important to many who have their heads buried in the classics. For scholars, it is still like a book from heaven. Liu Xiang estimates that those who can answer the questions correctly probably rely on deception.
In order to select as many talents as possible, it is not simply a matter of judging right or wrong and assigning points, but also classifying and screening each paper. Candidates who score high in math and logic questions are taken out separately - it doesn't matter if these people score low in other parts. For many candidates, the score on the practical test basically determines whether they will enter the interview or even be admitted. Of course, if a candidate's essay is poorly written, it basically means that this type of candidate is unlikely to enter an administrative position.
Yuan Shu didn't know how good or bad he would be in the exam, but he was in a calm mood now - he was already in his early fifties and his time was running out. If I fail the exam, I will work as a bookkeeper in a tea house and live a stable life.
Seeing that the New Year announced by the Australians was approaching, Yuan Shuzhi was busy helping with the accounting, and Zeng Juan also went out to collect the accounts every day. This day is the end of the year, and the accounts have been settled. Yuan Shuzhi didn't have much to do after breakfast, so he picked up the book in the accounting room.
Suddenly I noticed a commotion on the street, and many students hurried towards Gongyuan.
"Quick, hurry up, the chief is about to release the results."
As soon as the sound came out, the crowd was full of excitement. All the candidates blushed, either with anticipation or anxiety. There were many people in the tea house washing up and having breakfast. Those who had not finished eating could not wait to get up and join the crowd. A large group of people ran outside.
Suddenly Zeng Juan ran in panting, and drank all the tea on Yuan Shuzhi's table. After taking a breath, Zeng Juan said loudly: "Old...Old...Yuan! The results are released!!!" Hearing "The results are released!!!" Yuan Shuzhi immediately jumped up at the words "It's gone" and hurriedly said: "Brother Zeng, are you serious?! Don't make fun of someone!"
"Of course, seriously! Today is December 0th! I just went out today and heard someone say that the results of the Australian-Song Dynasty imperial examination were released, so I immediately ran back to tell you, let's go and take a look. I can't bear it alone!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I will go with Brother Zeng!"
Yuan Shuzhi and Zeng Juan immediately went out and headed towards Gongyuan. The Dashi Street where Gongyuan is located is already bustling with noise, and the place where the results are released is surrounded by a sea of people. Not only the candidates and their families are here, but also many idle people watching the excitement. Everyone wants to see this Australian's first imperial examination. What kind of "Australian scene" is the release of the list! There are also many parents from well-to-do families with daughters of school age waiting at the door to see if there is any "new Australian scholar" who is talented and good-looking enough to win over as a son-in-law.
The place where the list is posted is on the screen wall outside Gongyuan. This is where Gongyuan used to post the list of cases. In order to express the spirit of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, Liu Xiang specially had a colorful shed built overnight. Before the time came, the booth where the admission list was posted was already crowded with student candidates, all jockeying for a good spot. Zeng Juan and the others arrived late, so they had to stay on the periphery.
Fortunately, the results have not yet been published, so the students' readings are not too out of character. However, some students clasp their hands together and mutter something, and listen carefully to the words that seem to be asking for blessings from gods and Buddhas.
"Squeak——"
The Gongyuan opened the middle door at exactly six o'clock on time, and four naturalized citizens wearing Australian "cadre uniforms" came out. Two of them held white wide-format paper, while the other two were carrying a ladder and the other. Paste brush. The crowd waiting outside the door couldn't help but be secretly disappointed: the Australian's etiquette was too simple! Not to mention setting off firecrackers and propaganda, there must be a ceremony anyway. Just like four petty officials posted it on the wall to make trouble?
Even so, everyone immediately parted ways. Ask four cadres to go to the wall, erect ladders and post the notices.
I saw a list with black characters on a white background slowly unfolding, but it was a white background with black characters - it was the first time for everyone to see this list. Although the results of the Gongyuan Provincial Examination were not as rigorous as those of the Jinshi Examination, it was still a red list. How could it be posted on a large piece of white paper? Is this a legacy of the Song Dynasty? Although everyone is puzzled, the fame, fortune and wealth are so touching, not to mention the black and white words on a piece of paper, even the red letters on a white background, the candidates don't care.
As soon as the cadres left, the crowd cheered and rushed to the bottom of the list.
Only then did everyone see clearly the difference between this list and the Ming Dynasty. It was preceded by the zigzag examination number of Da Shishu. Below is the name of the candidate, the position applied for, and the ranking of the application for this position. Some people who have studied the regulations explained that this is the list of people who passed the written examination, and then there will be an interview, just like being able to test Chinese style and passing the palace examination.
Soon the crowd began to get excited, with voices of great joy and sadness rising one after another. Some people shouted overjoyed, "I got it, I got it." They grabbed the shoulders of the people around them and shook them violently, regardless of whether they knew them or not. Some people shouted with tears in their eyes. : "No, this is not true" and the like, crying all over the place with tears running down my clothes...
Yuan Shuzhi was older and couldn't squeeze through the group of young people, so he had to let Zeng Juan squeeze in to see. After Zeng Juan squeezed into the crowd, he couldn't squeeze in from the outside. He stood on tiptoes and stretched out his neck, carefully searching for his name and candidate number in the list. He was only halfway through the list when he discovered Yuan Shuzhi's name and immediately shouted:
"Lao Yuan...I have your..."
But I saw on the list: Administrative position in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau: Yuan Shuzhi, 41 in the practical test, and ranked first in the written test for this position.
Before he could report the score, Zeng Juan was pushed to the side. He was short and could hardly breathe when he was squeezed. He was so anxious that he could not speak. Yuan Shuzhi became more and more anxious outside and shouted: "Brother Zeng! Tell me! Did you win or not?!"
Zeng Juan tried his best and said from the bottom of his throat: "What the hell! Lao Yuan, you won! 60 points on the test! First place in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau position!"
boom! Everyone who heard "No. 1" at the scene exploded! How awesome this man must be! The number one position in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau! , this is almost certain to be selected! Some of those with low scores but on the list were glad that they were not in the same position as this ancestor, while others who failed to make the list clenched their fists and made up their minds to visit this master for advice so that they can fight again next year!
"I won! I won! I won. Look, everyone, No. 1269 is mine!" Yuan Shuzhi clapped his hands and looked up to the sky, laughing.
His face was red with excitement, as if he was 18 years old again, and the gullies on his face that were squeezed together by laughter seemed to be full of energy. Regardless of the crowd around him, he chanted loudly.
The dragon is teased by the shrimp on the beach, and the tiger is bullied by the dog when it falls on the beach.
Tigers crouch in the mountains to listen to the howling wind, dragons lie in the shallows and wait for the tide.
When the sea reaches the end, the sky is the shore; when the mountain reaches the top, I am the peak.
If the sun rises in the east, the roc spreads its wings and hates the sky.
Who doesn't have a tiger falling on a flat sun, waiting for me to rise again when the wind and mountains rise again?
…
Yuan Shuzhi recited this poem incoherently, with incoherent lines and sentences, as if he was the best in the world, and his brows were full of joy. Zeng Juan had the leisure to listen to what he said, reading from beginning to end, and then from beginning to end, but he still couldn't see his exam number and name. I couldn't help but become anxious. I’m afraid that I’ll be too far away to see what’s wrong. So I dug in desperately, all the way to the bottom of the list, and started reading again.
