The sky is blue, and early summer is neither too hot nor cold, which is a comfortable and comfortable season.

After learning from the county, Lu Luocai, wearing brand new student uniform, walked on the streets of the county town, and felt refreshed. With excitement and excitement, he felt pleasing to the eye when he saw everything.

As an old boy who has been taking the exam for more than 20 years, Lu Luocai is already discouraged and thinks that he has no hope of a student. Moreover, in order to take the exam, he is already a bare-stop, and his wife is almost hungry to run away.

In desperation, he was also skeptical, so Lu Luo signed up to the government and participated in the court's new policy - setting up schools in every village.

The village has a school with a teacher with a child or a scholar. It teaches children in the village to read and read for free, and can enjoy the subsidies given to students by the court.

By the end of the third year, the child can be promoted to a scholar without examination, that is, a student; while the scholar can be selected by the Ministry of Personnel and start from the lower-level officials.

If a student is already a child and does not respond to the new court policy, the child's treatment will be cancelled. That is to say, the student must support himself and the subsidies given by the court will not be given.

Before this, the court had abolished the policy of exempting students and officials from passing taxes, which was equivalent to cutting off the method of profiteers to evade taxes and make extra money by students and officials.

These two policies alone have caused students and officials to complain. But the imperial examination system is still there, and the factory guards and the inspectors are also staring at each other. Who dares to oppose blatantly?

The most important thing is the holy intention. Anyone who is interested can see that the emperor has a bad impression of some scholars and has no scruples when suppressing them. Moreover, if the conditions for officials to be transferred to officials are relaxed, there will be no worries about the gap between officials.

In any case, the subsidies for students were cancelled, the privileged treatment was abolished, and many students were severely punished, which finally destroyed the arrogance of this class.

Like Lu Luocai, who is not even a student, knows that there is no hope for the imperial examination, or because of life, he has to become a teacher and get a share of money to support his family.

However, this teacher is very different from the social teachers who set up the previous villages. First, they enjoy the original student subsidy, second, there is room for improvement, and third, the children of the people can study for free.

Lu Luocai became a teacher because of hope. Now that he has three years of experience, he has finally passed the review, officially became a scholar, and has also become a student.

In the Ming Dynasty, becoming a scholar was considered a true scholar. Not only did he change his clothes and improve his social status, but he was also respected by others, and it was also the starting point for fame and fortune.

After teaching for five years, he was promoted to a student, and the government provided subsidies and daily living expenses, which was the highest among the three types of students. The court's treatment has been improved, which is enough for the family of students.

Lu Luo has now figured it out that his study is not favored by the emperor. He is willing to give up his composure to do practical work, even if he is not knowledgeable, he will still have fame and fortune.

After two more years, Lu Luo was ready to become an official. He had five years of teaching qualifications, but he could be exempted from the examination and entered the Ministry of Personnel's Interpretation List.

Obviously, Lu Luocai was not willing to teach, which was also the commonality of scholars of that era.

The emperor didn't care about this. The court did not spend much money on transferring the preferential treatment for students to teaching and educating people. Whether it was three or five years, it was much better than the original students who were idle and had nothing to do.

"Brother Lu——" A surprise interrupted Lu Luocai's pride and joy. He turned to look and bowed quickly, "I've seen Lord Li."

Li Zhengdong looked at Lu Luocai's student costume again, and bowed with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Lu, no, he should be called Maocai Gong."

Lu Luocai's face turned red and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Li laughed. I'm going to be the student..."

Li Zhengdong waved his hand and said, "No need to be too humble. I am also a transfer official, almost the same as Brother Lu."

"What's more," Li Zhengdong changed his tone and continued: "This is in line with the court's policies and regulations, and it is upright."

Lu Luo blinked his eyes and bowed, "What Lord Li said is so yes, I'm thinking about it."

Li Zhengdong was dressed in casual clothes, but after the official was transferred to the position of official position, he was promoted to the main position, only to be the magistrate and the county magistrate. The county magistrate was transferred to Liaodong to be promoted to the magistrate. He had great hope of being promoted to the position of magistrate.

As a fellow villager, Li Zhengdong is not unfamiliar with the old boy Lu Luocai. Now, since Lu Luocai is a student, he will not kneel down when he sees an official. With the improvement of social status, Li Zhengdong's smoothness, he will naturally not be easily offended.

"I heard that the county school teacher Zhang is going to be promoted. I wonder if it is true or false?" Lu Luo felt that Li Zhengdong should have known some internal information, so he asked tentatively.

Li Zhengdong smiled and glanced at him. When he saw the teahouse, he invited Lu Luocai to drink tea and talk in detail.

When they entered the teahouse, they found a quiet place. Dr. Tea served tea and the two started chatting.

"Teacher Zhang applied to the Ministry of Personnel to work in Liaodong, and has been approved and promoted to the prefectural teacher." Li Zhengdong drank tea and said with a smile: "The magistrate will invite him to a farewell banquet tomorrow."

Lu Luocai was slightly surprised and said in surprise: "You have been promoted two levels in a row!"

Li Zhengdong smiled and said, "Officers who voluntarily apply to go to Liaodong will at least be upgraded if approved."

Realizing the puzzled gaze that Lu Luocai cast, Li Zhengdong said with a wry smile: "I have applied too, but unfortunately I have not been approved."

Lu Luo thought for a while and said, "Since County Chief Sun is a successor, it is reasonable for Lord Li to succeed him?"

"Not necessarily." Li Zhengdong shook his head and said, "There are many officials selected by the Ministry of Personnel, and most of them will be dispatched from it."

After saying that, Li Zhengdong took the lead in breaking the topic and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Brother Lu is already a student. He should report the preferential treatment he deserves as soon as possible. I should handle it as soon as possible."

Although the emperor abolished many preferential treatments for the original students, policies such as exemption from corvee service were retained and did not cut them all down in one size fits the whole picture, which was considered to have some face for scholars.

Lu Luocai quickly agreed and asked Li Zhengdong about the latest policies of the court. He thought that it would be similar wherever he taught. If he could enjoy better treatment, he could consider it in another place.

Li Zhengdong pondered for a moment and said, "Mekong Province and Liaodong are short of scholars. If Brother Lu is not afraid of remoteness and bitterness, he will be very easy to teach there for a few years."

"Mekong Province is overseas and I don't want to go there." Lu Luocai shook his head and rejected one, "It's OK for Liaodong."

Li Zhengdong said: "As for this matter, Brother Lu has two years left, so there is no need to worry. This year is the first year of rebuilding Liaodong, and I believe it will be more difficult in all aspects."

After pausing, Li Zhengdong said again: "For the study of villages and villages, the court seems to have to introduce new policies. Brother Lu waits for it to see it, so it is safest."

New policy?!Lu Luo frowned. Could it be that the candidates who are exempt from the examination and the Ministry of Personnel should be invalidated?
