"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Daming University is going to expand its student enrollment. From today to October [-]st is the registration period for the exam, and there is no waiting after the deadline. Come and see, students who want to be admitted to Daming University, don't miss it. "

Early the next morning, a newsboy carrying a messenger bag appeared in the streets and alleys of Xuan Town.

They waved the Da Ming Daily in their hands and shouted with all their might.

A 20-year-old scholar wearing a blue T-shirt had just stepped out of his yard when he heard the yelling of the newsboy.

"Daming University? Enrollment expansion?" The scholar's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly searched for the voice.

As for the hottest thing in Xuanzhen now, apart from Zhao Wen personally leading the troops out, it was the matter of selecting students from universities to become officials.

After learning about this at that time, almost all the scholars in the city were excited.

If you want to say which thing the Chinese people are most passionate about, I am afraid that there is nothing else other than being an official.

At the beginning, many scholars in the city, especially the ones with a family of scholars, although they did not say anything publicly about the university established by Zhao Wen, secretly they were very contemptuous.

Those parents who have experienced the imperial examination, in their eyes, the university established by Zhao Wen is deviant.

Since ancient times, being an official has been through the imperial examination. Except for the Sanshe method of Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, almost all the rest are obtained through the imperial examination.

Therefore, when Zhao Wen got out of university, these people tried their best to prevent their children from going.

Since ancient times, to study is to be an official, not to be an official, who still reads.At the beginning, these people thought that they could not become officials if they went to college, so they didn't have much interest in going to college.

Of course, not everyone is like this, otherwise, the university would not be able to recruit so many students.

But a few days ago, when Liu Wenzhong selected outstanding students from the university to go to Shanxi Town, they realized that the previous imperial examinations were no longer valid, and now they had to go to university.

Although the newspapers said at the time that they were going to practice, these mature people understood in an instant that this was not a practice, and it was obvious that Zhao Wen was going to start building his future ruling team.

If you don't participate at this time, it will be too late in the future.

As Xuanzhen became more and more prosperous, many gentry dragged their families to Xuanzhen near Xuanzhen, especially in Beizhili.

Of course, Zhao Wen was also happy to see these gentry come to Xuan Town, except for those bullies and evil gentry.

The gentry who can be put into Xuan Town by Zhao Wen are basically gentry who have been carefully investigated by Zhao Wen, have a clean net worth, and have not done evil things, otherwise Zhao Wen would not have let them in.

After these gentry entered Xuanzhen, they also helped Xuanzhen a lot.

The gentry who came to Xuanzhen, when they saw what Xuanzhen looked like, they immediately understood that it would be a matter of time before Xuanzhen replaced Daming, so the gentry who entered Xuanzhen also put their treasure on Zhao Wen .

"What? Daming University is going to expand its enrollment? Is it true?" The former scholar held the newspaper he had just bought, and the excitement on his face was undeniable.

Before the afternoon, the people in the entire Xuan Town knew about the expansion of Daming University's enrollment.

Xuanzhen Zhencheng, a middle-aged scholar wearing a round neck shirt and a square flat crown sat in the study, looking at his son standing in front of him.

"Chang'er, this expansion of university enrollment is an opportunity for you and our Sun family. Even though we are doing well in Xuanzhen and even have some business, we are still outsiders to Xuanzhen. .

If you want to fully integrate into Xuanzhen, it depends on you this time. "The middle-aged scholar stroked the long beard on his chin and said earnestly.

Sun Qingchang looked at the newspapers on the table, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I was going to the university when I was recruiting students, but you refused to let me go, and said that this university is deviant and not the right path."

The middle-aged man became a little embarrassed, "What are you talking about? Didn't you know that this university can be an official as a father? I didn't see Mr. Zongbing say that the university can be an official."

"According to your opinion, those who cannot be officials are deviant, and those who can be officials are right?" Sun Qingchang retorted.

Sun Qingchang's words really stumped the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know how to explain it.

From ancient times to the present, these gentry have basically been like this. Anything that benefits them is the right way.Anything that is not good for oneself is deviant.

This kind of rule is the same all over the world.All the prosperity of the world is profit, and the world is all profit.

The reason why so many people turn to Zhao Wen is not because of Zhao Wen's charisma, but because Zhao Wen can bring them benefits.

"It's different now, I've been in Xuanzhen for so long, and I finally figured out a lot of things.

Especially this time, select personnel from the university and go to govern the captured Shanxi Town.

From this incident, I can see that Mr. Zongbing is already dissatisfied with traditional scholars like us. The middle-aged man stood up, walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and looked at the sun in the sky.

"That's right, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry's appetite has become more and more greedy, especially those in the southeast.

The appetite of these people was even greater. Under the collusion of officials and gentry, the imperial court was fooled into canceling commercial taxes and various taxes that were not beneficial to them.

Then they dug the corners of the imperial court. The Ming Dynasty can be like this now, and they have more than half of the credit. "

Sun Qingchang said with a puzzled expression: "Father, but we are also gentry. Besides, what does this have to do with the commander-in-chief? What does it have to do with the university?"

The middle-aged man turned his head, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Why doesn't it matter? It's a big deal. Master Chief Soldier wants to train his own team, and he plans to use the talents he cultivated to replace the entire Ming Dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, no matter whether he is a foreigner or not, as long as he wants to stabilize the country, he must rely on us people.

But now, Lord Chief Soldier directly throws us aside and trains us again. "

The middle-aged man walked to the yard in front of the study, paced slowly, and gradually analyzed it for his son Sun Qingchang.

"If that's not the case, why do we pick those stinky brats from the university? Why don't we who raise people and get promoted?

I went to a university to attend lectures before, and most of the content taught was practical.Although the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucius and Mencius are also taught, they do not take up much weight.

Obviously, what Mr. Zong Bing wants is someone who understands practical knowledge, not those of us sour scholars who only care about others. "

The middle-aged man felt extremely bitter when he thought that Zhao Wen didn't trust them who were well-versed in poetry and books.

But there was nothing he could do about it.Xuanzhen has a strong army and horses, even if he has 1 people who are unwilling, it is of no use at all, and he will be expelled if he doesn't do well.

"To be honest, I also admire the courage of Lord Zong Bing. If he can really change the entire Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, maybe he will reproduce the scene of the Tang Dynasty." The middle-aged man looked at Sun Qingchang, slowly explained slowly.

The middle-aged man was right, Zhao Wen just wanted to train a new batch.

Otherwise, relying on these officials, even if he has great abilities, he will only be the next Chongzhen.

For these gentry in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhao Wen really couldn't believe it.

"But we are also gentry, and I still have a reputation as a scholar, will the commander-in-chief trust me?" Sun Qingchang couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard his father say this.

If this is the case, Mr. Zongbing rejects gentry so much, why would he choose me as a gentry boy?

The middle-aged man laughed loudly, "Don't worry, who is the commander-in-chief, since he dares to choose you, he is sure to turn your mind around.

Otherwise, during the previous enrollment, Mr. Zong Bing had incited you so badly with a few words in the newspaper.

I remember that you liked this art of numerology before. I thought it was useless before, but I didn't expect it to be completely absorbed today.

If you don't understand the art of mathematics at all, even if you are given the chance, you will not be admitted to this university. "

Sun Qingchang's father was relatively open-minded, and he was not one of those sour scholars who only know what to do with others. At least he understood the meaning of Zhao Wen's series of actions.

Chapter 389

"I've been signing up since this afternoon. Hurry up and don't dawdle any longer. After lunch, I'll take you there in person. This time, no matter what you say, you have to be admitted to this university." The middle-aged man looked at Sun Qingchang and said, Said with a serious face.

Except for Sun Qingchang, in the entire Xuan Town, as long as there are people who have studied at home and are around 20 years old, almost all of them look like this.

These parents are more anxious than his children at this time.

After lunch, Sun Qingchang's father hurriedly led Sun Qingchang towards the university.

Originally, Sun Qingchang's father planned to take Sun Qingchang with him in a carriage, but now Sun Qingchang liked riding a bicycle, and he refused to take a carriage anyway.

And his father couldn't ride a bicycle, so he had to sit in the carriage and follow behind Sun Qingchang.

Sun Qingchang thought he came early enough, but he didn't expect that when he came to the registration point set up by Daming University, he found that there was already a sea of ​​people, and the entire registration point was overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Brother Sun, it really is you!" Just as Sun Qingchang stopped at the end of the line with his bicycle, a young man of his age came up and stopped beside Sun Qingchang.

"Brother Cheng, I didn't expect you to come too. I remember your father said that if you were going to such a university, he would break your legs?" Sun Qingchang looked at the excited Cheng Hao who was shaking his folding fan, Said teasingly.

Cheng Hao said: "What do you know, didn't you select hundreds of people from the university to go to Shanxi Town a few days ago? After my father learned about this, he instantly became jealous.

After moaning and sighing at home for a long time, he kept regretting, saying that he regretted not letting me go.

He also said that if I go, I will definitely be selected and go to Shanxi Town.No, my father personally sent me to sign up this time! "

Cheng Hao pointed behind him, and saw a middle-aged man with a similar face leading a few servants, standing behind Cheng Hao, looking this way with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Hey, my father is still like this. By the way, you usually like the study of arithmetic and mathematics the most. Do you think you are sure this time?" Sun Qingchang asked.

Cheng Hao patted his chest, and said firmly: "I'm not bragging for you, I'm sure."

"In that case, let's hurry up and line up. From what it looks like, there are probably 3000 to [-] people here today. This is the first day." Sun Qingchang parked his bicycle next to him, and then went to sign up with Cheng Hao place to go.

The registration point is located in front of the square below the library building, and the square is now flooded with crowds.

Because Sun Qingchang and Cheng Hao came late, they had to be at the back.

Sun Qingchang's father, Sun Dong, parked the carriage outside the university, and led a few servants to the back of the square.

Standing under a big willow tree, he looked anxiously at the long queue in front of him.

"May I ask that you also accompanied your child to sign up?" Cheng Hao's father, Cheng Wentao, came over and cupped his hands at Sun Dong with a smile on his face.

Sun Dong returned a salute, "Yes, I just learned about it this morning, so I hurriedly sent the child here."

"It's the same below. I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect it to be a bit late." Cheng Wentao looked at the densely packed team in front of him, feeling a little anxious.

"Hey, I think the same as you, I also thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect it to be late.

Originally, I didn't want to come, after all, the child is so old, but if I didn't come, I was really worried.Although I am also a Juren, but here in Xuanzhen, Juren is useless. "Sun Dong sighed.

"That's right, Xuanzhen is different now. Normally, even if the child takes the imperial examination, I wouldn't care about it. Everything is his own business.

But it's different now, and the sky is about to change now, so I can't help but be careless. "

Although what Cheng Wentao said was very cryptic, Sun Dong could still understand.

After all, Sun Dong's small calculations are almost the same as Cheng Wentao's.

With Xuanzhen's current strength, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will soon come, and when the new dynasty comes to power, it will be the time when a large number of talents will be needed.

Sending your own children to college at this time, there is a great chance that they can be either party in the future.

If it was just an ordinary exam, these parents would not put down their face and send their children to sign up in person.

But this time it's different, this time it's the work of the dragon, so they can't help but be careless.

……

The registration period lasted until the morning of October 1nd, and a total of more than [-] people signed up.

Even so, there are still many students who delay the registration time due to various reasons and miss the registration.

These students who missed the registration couldn't help but sighed about the unfair fate for a while.

Among the 1 people who signed up were the children of gentry, businessmen, ordinary people, and even military families.

Sun Qingchang had already registered on the first day and got his admission ticket at the same time.

There is not much difference between the current examination admission ticket and the later examination admission ticket, with detailed information and specific appearance characteristics of the candidates on it.

After Sun Qingchang signed up, he locked himself in the study and began to review seriously.

During the period of review, all the people in the mansion were cautious no matter what they did.

Even Sun Dong, who likes to meet up with friends for drinks on weekdays, calmed down and suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

In the past few days, except for going to the toilet, Sun Qingchang didn't take a step out of the study for the rest of the time.

Seeing his son working so hard, Sun Dong was also very satisfied.

"This kid really looks like I did when I took the government test." Sun Dong sat in the hall with an excited expression on his face.

Sun Qingchang's mother sat next to Sun Dong, "You, when your son was going to take this university, you insisted on stopping him."

"Didn't I not understand the situation at the time? Now the situation is obvious. If I still stop him, then I will delay his future." Sun Dong retorted, stroking his beard.

Time passed slowly, and October [-] came on time.

Sun Qingchang got up early that day, and after washing up, he walked out of the study room and came to the dining room for the first time.

Sun Qingchang looked at his parents who were already sitting in the hall, and bowed first.

"Come and eat quickly. Today is the exam time. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to take the exam." Sun's mother waved at Sun Qingchang with a smile on her face.

Sun Qingchang let out a sigh, and then sat down at the dining table.

Sun Dong looked at the servant standing beside him, and ordered: "Hurry up and get everything ready for the exam. Now there is only one hour left before the exam."
