Butler Xu did not stay here for more. After only two days of rest, he took his men and horses to leave from the next house by boat. He thought to himself that from the day he went to the border town to do business, there were about four or five.

I haven't seen him for a month.

I wonder if the young master is good at Mr. Qin’s house, and whether he has grown taller. This time he comes back and will never have to go again. When he gets old, he should play with his grandchildren at home.

After seeing Butler Xu off, it was the 19th day in a blink of an eye. Yesterday was the day of registration for the imperial examination. Chu Ci remembered that he had asked someone to take the information table for the good name to show him. It just so happened that he had not summoned various places to divide the country.

I happened to see you together today.

After Chu Ci arrived at the Tikka Department in the morning, he took out official duties. He ordered the little four and five at the door to inform them immediately when someone came, and then he devoted himself to official duties.

This official service is an evaluation letter on the education funds allocated by the Tixue Department to various academies. The Great Wei Dynasty attached great importance to education and established school fields for the prefectures. The output from the school fields was sent directly to the Tixue Department, and then the Tixue Department was sent to the Tixue Department.

Distribute to various schools according to the review level.

Generally speaking, as long as you register in the yamen, whether it is an official school or a private school, you have the qualifications to participate in the selection. If you do not register, then it is not included.

Chu Ci had already learned about it when he took office. There were more than 140 registered private schools, including fifteen with less than ten students, forty with less than twenty, and fifty-seven with less than thirty.

During this period, except for the prefecture schools and county schools in various places, only a few schools had more than 100 students. In this way, the total number of students in the entire Zhangzhou Prefecture is probably no more than 5,000.

Looking back at the modern era of popularization of compulsory education, the number of students in the high school he worked for was more than 5,000, but here is the total number of students in a huge mansion. Chu Ci didn’t know what the situation was like in other places, but

Just compare the number of students in Ganzhou Prefecture with here to see the gap.

Chu Ci sighed slightly and continued to look down. He felt that according to his recent emotional fluctuations, he was likely at risk of premature aging.

The ratings of Zhangzhou Prefecture are divided into four levels. Grade A colleges allocate 100 stones of grain per year, Grade B academy allocates 80 stones of grain per year, Grade C academy allocates 60 stones of grain per year, and Grade D academy allocates one year

Forty stones of grain.

Among them, there are seven academies in Class A, twelve academies in Class B, eighteen academies in Class C, and twenty-three academies in Class D.

Chu Ci made a calculation and calculated that these academies would consume about 3,600 stones of grain in a year. According to the current market price, one stone of grain would cost about 600 cents, which means that the annual expenditure would cost about 600 yuan.

It's about two thousand taels.

There is not much more. After all, the tuition and miscellaneous fees here are managed by each academies themselves, and the official academies have allocated their academic fields to them at the beginning. The salary of the teachers in the official school is also paid by the finances of each county.

The company also allocated additional money to them to repair their own academy, but this requires a request for instructions and then a special person can check it out. After the examination is issued, it can be distributed.

In addition to these, there is a reward. Any scholar or juren who comes from a college can get a reward. The higher the ranking, the more you get.

Like Chu Ci passed the top scorer last year, Yuanshan County School received a reward of more than the county school’s income for a whole year. The Le Mountain Chief gave all the teachers a thick red envelope, and the students also received a month’s worth.

The subsidy for meals is a joy to everyone.

The last page of this evaluation number is the evaluation result last year. Chu Ci took a look at this evaluation table and found that the other six counties and prefecture schools except Xi County are all Class A academies.

For Class B academies and Class C academies, most private academies are organized, while for Class D academies, the official is divided into half. According to the ratio here, Chu Ci has reason to believe that when evaluating Class A academies, the

The people from the School must have opened a back door to protect the face of the Zhangzhou Prefecture official school.

After reading it, Chu Ci stamped the front. He didn't understand the situation last year, so everything was still based on the old system. However, if you evaluate it next year, you will have to make a charter.

"Sir, all the sub-court officers of each county are here." Xiao Si said.

"Please come in." Chu Ci put down the official duties at hand, stood up and walked towards the outer hall.

"Please pay a visit to Master Tixue!"

Seven or eight people squeezed into the empty hall, and it instantly seemed full. As soon as Chu Ci came out, they saluted Chu Ci at the same time.

"Dear wise, don't be too polite, please sit down." Chu Ci took the lead and waited for those people to sit down, Chu Ci said, "Chu took office late and has never found a space to meet you. Today

Finally I saw it. But I don’t know what you guys call me?"

"Mr. Chu, the lower official is a branch patrol officer from Jiang County, Guofucheng, and his name is Feng Mo. He was fortunate to meet the adult when he came to the Ministry of Education a few days ago." A man sitting under Chu Ci stood up and stood up.

, He doesn't look too old, he looks gentle and handsome, and compared with other Taoist masters, he is much younger.

"It turns out to be Lord Feng. I have heard people mention it in the past that there is a young and promising branch lineman in our mansion, and I guess it is you. We are in this mansion together, so we can walk around more in the future."

Chu Ci said with a smile.

Feng Mo also agreed with a smile.

"Mr. Chu, Xiaguan is a branch tour guide in Guo County, Yu Hai."

“…”

"Mr. Chu, Xiaguan is a branch tour guide from Ping County, Ma Jinbao."

“…”

"Mr. Chu, Xiaguan is a branch tour guide from Wan County, Liu Yishan."

When the last person stood up, Chu Ci did not greet him immediately, but looked at him a few more times before saying, "Please sit down, Lord Liu. Chu also went to Wan County two days ago and heard a lot of things.

Things are really interesting.”

Liu Yishan was shocked and always felt that Chu Ci had something to say. But before he could ask, Chu Ci led the topic elsewhere.

"Chu's ancestral home is Xijiang, and he was originally a neighbor of you. However, the customs and rules in various places are different, and it is inevitable that there will be many discomforts for a while. Take this county trial as an example. I never heard of it when I was in Xijiang in the past.

After that, there was a re-selection, and it is said that the number of people who failed the re-selection seems to be more than the county trial was eliminated. I am really curious. I wonder if all the Taoists went to the county government to get the list? It is better for the first official to

Resolve the doubts.”

Although Chu Ci said with a smile, several adults looked bad. They did bring the roster here, but after reading the hidden information, they knew that they were afraid that Lord Chu would be furious after seeing it.

After all, they had learned about this adult's temperament from various channels before, and it is said that they are not rubbing sand in their eyes.

"What's wrong? Didn't you bring it here?" Seeing that they didn't move, Chu Ci raised his voice when he asked, and his brows frowned.

When these Taoists saw this, they immediately became even more nervous.

"Sir, we brought it..."

"If you bring it, take it out. Xiaowu, go and collect the list of all the adults." Chu Ci said with a bit of toughness. Even though they were not willing, they still took it out.

Soon, a stack of rosters was moved to Chu Ci's table. Chu Ci said, "I'd like to bother several adults to drink some tea on the side first. Xiao Si went to make a pot of tea and then ordered some tea to come for some.

An adult tasted it.”

After saying that, he picked up the roster and looked through it page by page.

The candidate's name, birth date, date, hometown and other things are recorded on this list. Chu Cichu looked at a few of them and found that there was nothing unusual. I don't know why they were so nervous.

But the more he turned back, the more he was in a state, his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression became colder.

Liu Yishan, a senator from Wan County, was very nervous at this time because Chu Ci was holding the list of their county. He held the teacup with his hands trembling, trying to relieve his tense mood, but he accidentally broke the lid of the cup.

.

A crisp "clang" sound led everyone's eyes. Seeing that Chu Ci was also looking here, Liu Yishan immediately felt his knees weak and he almost wanted to kneel down.

"Mr. Liu doesn't have to worry about it. A cup is nothing." Chu Ci said lightly, and after that, he buried his head and continued to look at the list.

In the past, he might have comforted him a few words. But today, he is already quite well-educated to be able to control himself and not curse. He really wants to take out the golden ruler to teach them how to be a human being, but he can't.

The list of this Wan County records that there are more than 230 children who come to register for the county exam, but there are seventy or eighty people here over sixty years old, and even worse, there are already seventy or eighty people already

It's old.

The imperial court has a clear rule that those who have not passed the county examination for the first time will not be allowed to take the imperial examination.

No wonder they were going to retake the case. If they didn’t defeat these people, how could they dare to release them to participate in the county examination?

Chu Ci took the charcoal sticks, recorded the number of people in the Wan County roster that did not meet the regulations, and then opened the next roster. He read very slowly, which was completely different from the speed when he was reading those monster novels.

Those adults were feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles. Every time Chu Ci wrote a stroke, it was like drawing a thread in their hearts, which made people feel really uncomfortable. It was just the time when they came, and now the sun was in the sky, and noon was approaching, and they were already here.

I sat quietly in the school hall for an hour or two.

The tea has been added several times, and everyone's stomach is bloated. Some people want to go to the cottage, but when they see Chu Ci's face, they hold back this sentence. Now it is clear who speaks first.

When they were unlucky, they refused to be the bird that stood out.

After reading the last book, Chu Ci slapped the roster heavily on the table, pointed out the numbers he recorded with his fingers, and asked: "Who can tell me that the 1,900 people participated in the county examination in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

With many people, why are there seven or eight hundred people who are not in accordance with the rules?”

There was a silence below, and everyone looked at their noses and their hearts, but they refused to match their eyes with Chu Ci.

"Say!" Chu Ci slapped the table with a "snap", causing the cups on the table to jump up. The officials below trembled, obviously frightened by Chu Ci's anger.

"Sir, this... is actually not just our Zhangzhou Prefecture, but all the prefectures in Nanmin Province do this." Finally someone spoke, but when he opened his mouth, he refused, which made Chu Ci even more angry.

"What you mean is that the law does not blame the masses? As long as there are too many people, it doesn't matter even if it is a wrong thing?" Chu Ci sneered and looked at the person who spoke.

"Sir, this is not what the subordinates meant! But this is also a helpless move. The number of children in our house is very small. If you don't do this, you may not be able to fulfill the above order."
