Jiming Temple was built during the Yongkang period of the Western Jin Dynasty and has always been one of the most popular temples in Nanjing.
In the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, Taizu ordered the temple to be rebuilt and expanded.
The halls and pavilions in the temple are magnificent, and precious flowers and trees from all over the Ming Dynasty can be seen everywhere.
The only thing that is not beautiful is that the monks in the temple look disheveled.
This is easy to understand for Chen Kan. In fact, the Ming Dynasty at this time was still lacking in products.
It is the most common thing for common people to have food, let alone monks.
Although Jiming Temple is a large temple, the incense is still strong.
But Zen Master Yuantong, the abbot of Jiming Temple, is an out-and-out eminent monk. In addition to setting aside the rations in the temple, Zen Master Yuantong uses the incense offered by the people to help refugees, widows, abandoned children and those who have no one to support. old man.
The monks are vegetarians and do not eat meat, so it is strange that they are not malnourished.
Turning the entire Jiming Temple upside down, Chen Kan fell silent.
There really are no cherry blossoms in Jiming Temple in Daming Dynasty.
"hehe."
Chen Kan couldn't help but laugh at himself. Also, Jiming Temple has been rebuilt countless times in later generations. Even if cherry blossoms were planted in Jiming Temple in the Ming Dynasty, they would have disappeared by then.
"The sea has changed."
Chen Kan uttered four words, then turned around and left the temple gate under Zhang San's puzzled eyes.
Zhang San chased after him and asked curiously: "Sir, why are you so obsessed with whether there are cherry blossoms in Jiming Temple?"
Chen Kan didn't explain, he just rode his horse and walked slowly in the direction of the Imperial College.
It’s okay if you don’t have them, I’ll plant them myself, and get the big-eyed cute girl to plant them together. Plant as many as possible, so that the cherry blossoms of the Ming Dynasty will bloom until six hundred years from now.

Imperial College, also known as Taixue, is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, it is also the highest institution in charge of academic affairs in the Ming Dynasty.
To put it more simply, the academic examinations are presided over by academic administrators stationed in various official schools sent by the Imperial College.
The prison is equipped with a sacrificial wine and industry department, which are fully responsible for the management of teaching and administrative affairs in the Imperial College.
What is worth mentioning is that the current Jijiujiu of the Imperial Academy is Xie Jin, a talented scholar who caused great trouble in Shu.
The students of the Imperial College are collectively called supervisors. In the early Ming Dynasty, the admission methods for supervisors can be roughly divided into three types: Yinjian, Jujian, and Gongjian.
Yinjian generally refers to Enyin's admission to school. Those who enter Yinjian must have meritorious service from their ancestors and be remembered by the king, and be compensated by Enyin's admission.
Strictly speaking, Chen Kan was the Yin prisoner. He was favored by Fang Xiaoru, and Zhu Di'en gave him a quota.
Imprisonment refers to the selection of young and beautiful people from the unsuccessful candidates to study in traditional Chinese culture. The age of the imprisoners is generally under 25 years old.
Gongjian is the outstanding students sent by local prefecture and county schools to the Imperial College.
In history, there was also a kind of regular prison, which was an admission channel specially opened for the children of wealthy businessmen. Their families paid a certain amount of money or war horses to the court to enroll in the school. However, regular prison would not be opened until the Jingtai period.
The registration method for the Imperial College was not much different from that of later generations.
Chen Kan issued a certificate and a bond from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to prove his identity. After arriving at the Imperial College, he handed these two things to the doctor for his records.
In order to avoid being impostered, the student's place of origin, name, age, household status, and appearance must be carefully checked.
Yes, there was a saying about tuanpeng in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Kan's household registration clearly stated that he had a fair complexion, a great appearance, a sound body, and a sunspot under his right ear.
That is to say, Chen Kan has a fair complexion, handsome appearance, no disability, and a small mole under his right ear.
After comparing each item one by one, Chen Kan can go through the admission procedures.
As for a prison student, after entering the Imperial College, he needs to spend a year and a half to become familiar with Confucian classics in the three halls of Zhengyi, Chongzhi, and Guangye.
Only those who are good at liberal arts and science can be promoted to monasticism. Sincerely study history in the second class, and the study time is also one and a half years.
Only those who are excellent in both arts and science can be promoted to Suxing Hall for further studies.
After earning eight points of credits, you can join the ranks of administrative supervisors, that is, work in various yamen and learn government affairs in advance.
During this period, the supervisors were free to participate in the imperial examinations, and they could also mix up their qualifications and wait for direct appointment by the court.
In short, if you want to graduate from the Imperial College, you can't even think about it for ten or eight years.
This is why Chen Kan is depressed.
Those who did not pass the imperial examination and became officials either had enough qualifications in the Imperial College, or they were lucky enough to be promoted.
Regardless of these two ways of being an official, unless there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, you are basically not qualified to become a Zhengyintang official.
Since the imperial examination system was formed in the Song Dynasty, the rules for what kind of person should be what kind of official and what kind of promotion channel should be taken have been firmly determined by the predecessors.
Of course, there are not no exceptions, but the reason why they are called exceptions is because they are too few, so few that historians need to write a special book about them.
Chen Kan is a time traveler, but he never thought that he was smarter than the people of Ming Dynasty, and he never thought that he would definitely become that exception.
After all, in later generations, Chen Kan never even won a scratch-off ticket.
Under the leadership of a doctor with a very serious face and a face like a brick, Chen Kan completed a series of tasks and successfully exploded three pieces of equipment.
A sky-blue school uniform, a square scarf, and a small seal engraved with the name of the supervisor.
The school uniform is called the jade-colored blouse, the square scarf is called the Sifang Pingding scarf, and the small seal is called the Jiansheng seal.
With these three things, it means that Chen Kan officially became an upper-class figure in the Ming Dynasty - a Confucian scholar.
You don't need to work, you just need to study hard. The country will not only exempt you from taxes, but also provide you with food and pay you wages.
It can also benefit the villagers, exempting two people from the same household from corvee service, and allowing them to kneel before officials.
So why did Zhao Guangyi write poems to exhort people to read, saying that books contain beauty like jade and books contain houses of gold?
Because it's fucking true.
More real than real.
In an ordinary family, once someone in the family becomes a scholar, someone will rush to deliver the land to your name.
If you win the election, there will be countless people vying to marry their daughter to you as your wife.
As for becoming a Jinshi, that would be a big deal. The county will write a biography for you and give you a separate page for your genealogy.
The temptation of both fame and fortune is enough for many scholars to spend their entire lives pursuing it.
So an extremely interesting scene happened in the Imperial College.
The supervisors who came from out of town were all so happy after receiving their school uniforms, scarves and seals that they almost knelt down on the spot to thank their ancestors for their blessing.
There was only one young man with an unhappy face, as if what he was holding was not his certificate of entry into the upper class society of the Ming Dynasty, but his enemy.
So who is this boy?
Chen Kan: "Yes, that's right!"
