    Although he was very sympathetic to the experiences of the candidates, how could Yang Yangzheng commit such a taboo?

    The decision to abolish this provincial examination was made by Emperor Chongkang. No matter how stupid he was, he would not make decisions for the candidates.

    Having served as an official for decades, although he is as clean as water and upright by nature, integrity does not mean stupidity

    He slowly shook his head and said: "The test questions have been leaked. Apart from the briber, there are other people who have obtained the test questions. It is impossible to find out the details. For the sake of justice, His Majesty reluctantly issued an order to abolish this subject. However, he has also given the emperor's favor and there is no need to continue.  Wait for three years. Next year, when the Supreme Emperor reaches his 100,000th birthday, he will open a special ceremony for you.

    "I have heard that "the ambitious will not drink from the stolen spring, and the honest will not eat from the stolen spring." You all have the seeds of innocence, how can you use the title of a thief as a test for advancement?  "

    "Then will there be another annual exam next year?"

    The member of the Yisheng family asked.

    Not every scholar is eligible to participate in the provincial examination. Only those who have passed the annual examination with excellent results are eligible.

    A lot of people will be lost in this.

    ¡°Many people passed the New Year¡¯s Examination by luck, and then passed the Provincial Examination by luck.

    Most of the students actually didn¡¯t expect to pass the examination. If they won the exam, they would be satisfied and could go back to their hometowns to become squires. If they were lucky, they could also become officials.

    Therefore, when many people heard this question, they looked at Yang Yangzheng with anger.

    Yang Yangzheng was familiar with the inside story. When he heard this, he immediately frowned and rebuked in a deep voice: "If you are not sure about the annual exam and only hope to pass it by luck, I advise you to go back to your hometown to farm as soon as possible. Now the new law  To spread the world, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that people would arbitrarily acquire and donate land in the countryside and annex it as they did in the past, just because of the reputation of being a civil servant.

    After the new law, 30 acres of land tax will be exempted for each student, and 120 acres will be exempted for each person. This is enough for you to cultivate, study and chew.  "

    Before the new law, scholars were entitled to a tax-free gift of 80 acres, those who were not promoted to official positions were exempted from land of 1,200 acres, and those who were not promoted to official positions were exempted from land up to 3,350 acres.

    ???????????? In fact, after you get the title of Juren, you are no longer bound by the law of 1,200 acres, and you can usually collect as much as you can.

    Therefore, with the help of the fields donated in the name of merit, everyone can eat a lot of money by collecting rent, and they have become a wealthy squire family.

    But after the new party implements the new law, such "good things" will no longer happen.

    In fact, it is precisely because of this that the implementation of the new law in other provinces has been difficult.

    The strength of the local gentry¡¯s backlash is beyond imagination.

    However, Ning Zechen and his group still suppressed it forcefully, and even mobilized troops stationed in other provinces to help clear the land.

    It¡¯s not like genocide has never happened before.

    Hearing what Yang Yangzheng said, no one in the community looked good

    After a pause, another first-year student came forward, and this time the question finally extended to the young scholars around Yang Yangzheng: "Do students dare to ask the imperial censor, are the students around me also candidates for this subject?"

    Hearing this, Yang Yangzheng¡¯s eyes changed slightly. He glanced at the boy next to him with some confusion and said in a low voice, ¡°Yes, he was the first student to report Jinke¡¯s fraud case.¡±

    "Wow!"

    When all the sentient beings heard this, they were in an uproar.

    There were even those who recognized the young man and quickly spread his identity to thousands of people.

    Although some people knew Jia Cong before the exam, most of them had never met him.

    But I didn¡¯t want to see the Qing Dynasty poet who has become famous recently

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be ¡®Life is like the first time we met¡¯ Jia Qingchen in person, but I don¡¯t know how Jia¡¯s friend learned about Jinke¡¯s fraud?¡±

    A scholar asked loudly, looking directly at Jia Cong.

    Jia Cong first bowed to Yang Yangzheng, then stood up straight and said in a clear voice: "Because before the exam, an old friend of mine was eating on Gulou Street and was forced to sell me this exam question. Just because before the previous provincial exams, there are always cunning people using this  I took the opportunity to defraud money under the guise of a pretext, so I didn't take it to heart. However, when I saw the exam questions announced in the Gongyuan, they were exactly the same as those recorded in the booklet. Although Jia Cong admired the fame of being a judge, he couldn't.  Accept this advantage, otherwise, how can you nourish my awe-inspiring spirit?"

    "Good!"

    Yang Yangzheng and many Lantai Temple censors behind him praised him one after another.

    However, this sentence is not very convincing to those who have not even achieved the title of Juren.

    Some students asked: "We admire your friend Jia for his noble character, but why don't you directly report it to the supervisor in the Gongyuan? The supervisor is the chief official in charge of the examination. If you report it, you can come if you want."  Will be moreBut I still want to ask you a question at this moment: You are the same age, why do you study?  "

    No one answered, and Jia Cong didn¡¯t expect anyone to praise him now, so he continued: ¡°Everyone who knows me knows my identity.

    I am the grandson of Grand Duke Da Qianrong, and I inherit the title of Grand Duke.

    Even if I don¡¯t study for the imperial examination, I will have an official title in the future!

    But I have never lost my ambition to study!

    After receiving the imperial edict yesterday, although Jia Cong deeply felt the emperor's favor, he was not overjoyed with surprise.

    ¡°Because Jia Cong never focused on fame in his studies¡­¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention the students who were dismissed from the exams. Even the officials behind Yang Yangzheng couldn't bear to listen.

    ??Isn¡¯t this just getting a benefit and being good at the same time?

    ¡° To say something like this under such circumstances would be like adding fuel to the fire and showing off.

    As expected, a student member immediately asked with resentment and sarcasm: "I don't know why this noble man who was born to be an official wanted to study for the imperial examination. If you tell me, it will also open the eyes of the poor people like me and see your ambition."

    "Yes! Why do noble people study?"

    "In the future, there will be officials and nobles who will come to do such things. I am really dissatisfied. I may not know what I want to do in the future"

    There were words of ridicule or resentment, but Jia Cong was seen stepping down from the Qingyun Bridge step by step, causing a commotion.

    On the last stone step, Jia Cong stood still, only one head taller than the other students. He looked at everyone without fear, suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "What's the point of telling you? A gentleman has nothing to do in this world.  Don't speak to others!

    Jia Cong believes that when Confucian scholars like us study, we should not study for the sake of fame and future, nor should we study for high-ranking officials and rich salaries!

    We, the Confucian scholars, should have a beginning and an end to our studies, with only one original intention, and that is:

    Establish your mind for heaven and earth!

    Establish a destiny for the sake of the people!

    ??Continue the unique learning for the Holy Spirit!

    Create peace for all generations!
