After this enlightenment and the addition of the elbow set meal, Li Yuanzhao's mood has mostly recovered.
The next day I returned to work enthusiastically and actively.
Everything the health team did was reported in the newspaper.
The reporters had actually written the manuscript a long time ago, but due to Li Yuanzhao's power, they were all locked in the cabinet and no one dared to publish it.
It can be published after just a little polishing.
After being published in the newspaper, it naturally caused an uproar!
Those who deserved to be fired were fired, and those who deserved to be sent to the Yamen were sent to the Yamen. The efficiency was so high that many people were stunned and praised the government's speed in doing things.
Many of the previous restrictions on various restaurants were also abolished, but some were still retained under Fang Zhengyi's suggestion.
Although some routines have been retained, the health team has been privately ordered not to participate in any inspections.
The reason for retaining it was that Fang Zhengyi still wanted to give himself a backup plan.
As the saying goes, if you don't know what you do, your power is unpredictable. In the future, some merchants will be dishonest and come directly to inspect!
In case there is no reason to beat some unruly people.
After this incident, Li Yuanzhao's trust in the health team completely collapsed. For this reason, he specially hired the Fenghuo Gang to supervise.
In this way, most of the things were settled. Seeing that there were only some trivial tasks left and the provincial examination was coming soon, Fang Zhengyi let him do his own thing and stopped interfering.
On this day, it was already time for the provincial examination to begin. Fang Zhengyi led a group of reporters on horseback to the Gongyuan Courtyard, chatting as they walked.
Although the imperial court also offered bus transportation, Fang Zhengyi declined on their behalf. He took a large group of people with him so that he could chat and relax on the way. The provincial candidates were too nervous to be in the car.
The rural examination is of great significance. Once you pass the examination, it is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon gate and becoming a superior person.
Of course, the difficulty is also extremely high. The acceptance rate for the prefectural and college examinations is only about 10%, but when it comes to the provincial examinations, it plummets to between 30 and 40%.
Although you are only eligible to become an official candidate after becoming a Juren, if you are lucky, you may still be eligible to become an official.
A good one can even be promoted to a seventh-grade county magistrate, just like Fang Zhengyi's original grade.
A lesser person can also be an assistant official such as the county chief registrar. In this way, the ruled class becomes the ruling class. Although the status in the officialdom is still the size of a sesame seed, the meaning is completely different!
But more importantly, its benefits are so high that it directly improves the status of scholars!
In addition to inheriting all the benefits of a scholar, he also has tax immunity in terms of economics. This is very important and very practical. Once you have the tax-free rights, you can directly avoid the pressure of paying the imperial grain and national taxes. Then countless landlords and gentry will actively invest in their name for the tax-free rights of the people.
Therefore, students who pass the examination can become a landlord in one fell swoop!
This was the case for Fan Jin who passed the national examination. Although he was crazy, his life changed after he sobered up. He had a luxurious house and delicious food, surrounded by his lovely wives and concubines, and he lived a happy life!
This is the dream of all scholars and the real reason why everyone flocks to it.
Although everyone is talking about ideals and talking about serving the country and the people, only a very small number of people can maintain their original aspirations. Real benefits are real to most scholars.
Passing the Juren Examination can already lead to success, but the next examination will be even more brutal...
This is what Fang Zhengyi is worried about.
The temptation of profit is too great! Although the success rate of the exam is not high, the only ones who can apply for the exam are the elite employees in the newspaper.
If one or two pass the exam, won't key talents be lost?
But now that he has come to this point, he doesn't plan to do anything more.
It can only help candidates prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
Before departure, all the candidates were treated to an auspicious set meal. A group of reporters ate one fried dough stick and two eggs in confusion.
By the way, I also prepared good pens, inks and inkstones for them.
Finally, I put 20 hard-boiled eggs, beef jerky, dried fruits... and other small snacks in the basket, a bamboo tube of milk and a bamboo tube of water.
There is water in the examination room, but the water in the water tank is actually drawn from the well in Gongyuan. The quality of the water in the well that is used once every three years can be imagined. Although some people will add some alum to the water tank to ensure water safety, no matter In terms of taste and safety, Gongyuan’s water is not very good!
Water tanks will be placed in front of each row of dormitories.
