After this round of counseling and the pork elbow set meal, Li Yuanzhao's mood recovered to a large extent.
The next day, I threw myself back into work with enthusiasm and positivity.
Everything the health team does is published in newspapers.
The reporters had actually already written their manuscripts, but due to Li Yuanzhao's tyranny, they were locked in cabinets and no one dared to publish them.
It can be published after just a little polishing.
After it was published in the newspaper, it naturally caused an uproar!
Those who should be fired were fired, and those who should be sent to the yamen were sent to the yamen. The efficiency was so high that many people were dumbfounded and they praised the government for its amazing speed.
Many of the previous restrictions on restaurants were abolished, but some were retained at Fang Zhengyi's suggestion.
Although some routines were retained, the health teams were privately ordered not to participate in any inspections.
The reason why Fang Zhengyi kept it was that he wanted to leave himself a way out.
As the saying goes, if you don’t know what you are doing, you will have unpredictable power. From now on, if any merchant is dishonest, we will directly inspect them at their door!
This will prevent you from having no reason to punish those who don't follow the rules.
After this incident, Li Yuanzhao's trust in the medical team completely collapsed, and he even sought supervision from the Fenghuo Gang.
In this way, most of the things were settled. Seeing that there were only some trivial tasks left and the provincial examination was approaching, Fang Zhengyi just let him do it on his own and did not interfere anymore.
On this day, it was time for the provincial examination to begin. Fang Zhengyi led a group of reporters on horseback and headed towards the Imperial Examination Hall, chatting as they walked.
Although the court also had public buses for pick-up, Fang Zhengyi declined them on their behalf. He wanted to bring a large group of people with him so that they could chat and relax on the way, and avoid the candidates from being too nervous when they were crowded in the carriage.
The provincial examination was of great significance. Once one passed the examination, it was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate and becoming a superior person.
Of course, the difficulty is also extremely high. The admission rate for the prefectural and academy examinations is only about 10%, and when it comes to the provincial examinations, it plummets to between 3% and 4%.
Although becoming a juren only qualifies one to become a candidate for an official position, those who are lucky can still become an official.
The good ones can even be transferred to become seventh-rank county magistrates, just like Fang Zhengyi's original rank.
Those who are a little lower can also become assistant officials such as county magistrates and chief clerks. In this way, they can change from the ruled class to the ruling class. Although their status in officialdom is still as small as a sesame seed, the meaning is completely different!
But what is more important is the high welfare benefits, which directly make the status of scholars have a qualitative leap!
In addition to being able to inherit all the benefits of a scholar, he also has the right to tax exemption, which is very important and practical. With the right to tax exemption, he can be directly exempted from the pressure of paying imperial grain and national taxes. Then, countless common people, landlords and gentry will take the initiative to invest in the name of the juren for the right to tax exemption.
Therefore, the students who passed the imperial examination could become local landlords!
This is the case with Fan Jin in Fan Jin Zhong Ju. Although he was crazy, his life changed completely after he came to his senses. He had a luxurious house, delicious food, and was surrounded by a beautiful wife and concubines. He lived a happy life!
This is the dream of all scholars and the real reason why everyone is flocking to it.
Although everyone is talking about ideals and saying they are serving the country and the people, only a very small number of people can keep their original intentions. Real benefits are real for most scholars.
Passing the imperial examination is already a great achievement, but the next imperial examination is even more tragic...
This is exactly what Fang Zhengyi is worried about.
The temptation of benefits is too great! Although the success rate of the exam is not high, only the elite employees in the newspaper can apply for it.
What if one or two pass the exam, wouldn’t that mean the core talents will be lost?
But now that it has come to this, he doesn't plan to do anything more.
It can only help candidates prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
Before departure, all candidates were treated to a lucky meal. A group of reporters, confused, ate a fried dough stick and two eggs.
By the way, I also prepared the best writing brushes, ink and inkstone for them.
Finally, he put twenty boiled eggs, beef jerky, dried fruits, and some other snacks in the basket, as well as 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 the Imperial Examination Hall. The quality of well water that is used once every three years can be imagined. Although someone will add some alum in the water tank to ensure water safety, the water in the Imperial Examination Hall is not very good in terms of taste or safety!
There is a water tank in front of each row of houses.
Therefore, the probability of getting diarrhea after drinking the water in the Imperial Examination Hall is very high. Most people still prefer to drink the clean water they bring with them. This is also the experience passed down by successive candidates.
When we arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, candidates had already started to enter.
Fang Zheng pulled the reins one by one and stopped nearby.
A group of reporters behind him also stopped.
When Fang Zheng saw the examinees being stripped for inspection outside the Imperial Examination Hall, he suddenly felt a little nervous and couldn't help but think of the college entrance examination that year.
If I hadn't copied it myself, I probably wouldn't have been able to pass the three-year exam! Damn, it's a good thing they didn't check it so strictly!
Then he swallowed his saliva, bowed to a group of reporters and said loudly: "Everyone! I will send you here!"
"Remember to finish the milk you brought as soon as possible! If it's left overnight, just throw it away and don't drink it, otherwise it will go bad and cause diarrhea!"
"I will be in charge of the exam soon. I will accompany you. Don't be nervous and perform normally!"
"The exam is not difficult. Don't create anxiety. I passed the imperial examination when I was fifteen years old. This provincial exam is nothing. It's very easy!"
The reporters looked unhappy and felt hurt.
If you became a Jinshi at the age of fifteen, you would become a legend in the examination world!
Of course the provincial examination is nothing in your eyes, and we are not child prodigies!
Fang Zhengyi ignored their expressions and continued to nag: "In my opinion, you are much smarter than me! Feel free to take the exam. Even if you fail, the newspaper will back you up! Being a reporter may not be worse than passing the imperial examination! After you finish the exam, I will host a three-day banquet at the newspaper to celebrate for you! Okay, I won't say anything else, just go ahead!"
All the reporters bowed and said loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Fang!"
Holding the heavy package in my hands, my heart feels warm.
The treatment at the newspaper is really good....Mr. Fang is so nice!
