Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 136 Opponents
In the meeting hall of the Qinxue Building, ten county officials who were preparing to represent Wu County in the boy's examination sat in front of a long table.

On the other side of the table were Gao Fei, the magistrate, Yang Han, the magistrate, Zhao Xiuwen, the school administrator, and Zhang Ruoying, the county magistrate.

Zhao Xiuwen slowly said to the crowd: "I just came back from Changzhou County, and all fifty candidates for the boy's examination in Pingjiang Mansion have been selected, this time it can be said that there are as many strong players as there are forests.

Needless to say, Changzhou County, at the end of last year's county school exam, ten county magistrates took the top ten in the exam, which is said to be the strongest class. They mobilized the day before yesterday, and County Magistrate Wen clearly asked them to take five The boy gave a tribute to the quota.

Kunshan County is also very good this year, picking out ten outstanding students out of [-] students. Needless to say, Wujiang County has intensively trained ten county scholars behind closed doors two years ago.

We are the same as Changshu County. After selecting ten county scholars two years ago, they were thrown into the county school to study with ordinary students. Judging from the county examination, the county officials generally did well in the exam. The No. 1 are all county magistrates, but there are still a few county magistrates who disappointed me, and only a dozen of them were admitted. "

When Zhao Xiuwen said this, he glanced sharply at several county officials.

Zhao Changgeng from Gufeng Academy, Cheng Yao from Jiayu Academy and Ma Baolong from Hongyan Academy all lowered their heads in shame.

Zhao Changgeng ranked No.14 in Gufeng Academy, Cheng Yao from Jiayu Academy ranked tenth, and Ma Baolong only ranked No.12 in Hongyan Academy.

This is called big waves washing the sand, and the real gold is full. After two years of studying, the potential of the ten county officials has been fully realized. The potential of the three county officials is insufficient, and they are gradually falling behind.

At this time, the county magistrate Gao Fei asked: "Who does Xuezheng think will be the strongest opponent this time?"

Zhao Xiuwen sighed and said, "Changzhou County, of course, they have won most of the places for three consecutive sessions. In our Wu County, in the past five boy solution exams, we only got three tribute candidates, and Changzhou County However, sixteen places were taken away. Three people were admitted in Wujiang, two people were admitted in Kunshan, and Changshu County was the worst. Only one person was admitted in 15 years.

And this time Changzhou County is said to be the strongest one. We are under a lot of pressure to take away all five tribute candidates from Pingjiang Prefecture! "

Gao Fei frowned. In the past two years, he hadn't paid much attention to the boy test. He had an illusion that the boy test was 50 people competing for five tribute positions, that is, ten people vying for one place.

The solution test is almost 40 people competing for a place for a candidate, so it should be more difficult to pass the test.

But when Zhao Xiuwen explained the test, he suddenly discovered that it seemed that it was more difficult to pass the boy's test.

The 50 people are all top experts, and Changzhou County has taken most of the places for a long time. It is extremely difficult for the 40 people from the other four counties to compete for one or two places that slipped through the net.

Zhao Xiuwen continued: "This time Changzhou County has three very monstrous child prodigy county magistrates, one named Jiang Feng, one named Yao Xi, and one named Luo Zaidao. These three are all 12 years old, but they are very knowledgeable. Far beyond their age, at the beginning of the year they went to the capital to take the entrance examination for Taixue, and the three took the top three places, and if there is no accident, all three of them can win the tribute position."

Everyone gasped when they heard that they actually took away the top three in Taixue.

Gao Fei's eyes became heavy, and he asked again: "Besides these three, are there any other particularly powerful county officials?"

Zhao Xiuwen got up and hung a picture on the wooden board, and said to everyone: "This is a "County Officials Distribution Strength List" drawn by me based on the information collected from various parties. I divided the fifty county officials from the five counties into There are four levels, Upper A, Middle A, Lower A, and B."

Fan Ning carefully looked at the chart drawn by Zhao Xiuwen, it was in the shape of a pagoda, and the top of the pagoda was Shangjia, with the names of three people written on it, they were Jiang Feng, Yao Xi and Luo Zaidao from Changzhou County.

On the second floor of the pagoda are the names of five people. They are Zhongjia. Fan Ning found his name in the middle. He is the third among these five people.

The third floor has the largest number of people, more than [-] people, including Su Liang, Duan Yu, Zhang Zhen from Jiayu Academy, and Li Wenhan from Hongyan Academy.

There are also about 20 people on the fourth floor, who belong to the relatively backward county magistrates, and the organization is very clear and clear at a glance.

All eyes were fixed on the five people on the second floor of the pagoda. If nothing happened, these five people would compete for the remaining two places.

"Who are Wei Feng and Zhao Yan?" County Chancellor Yang Han asked.

These two ranked ahead of Fan Ning, which shows that they are very strong.

Zhao Xiuwen smiled wryly and said: "These two are also county magistrates from Changzhou County, and their strength is quite strong, but they are only second to the three people on the top of the tower in front. This is the one who Changzhou claims to take the five tributes. The bottom line."

"What about the two behind Fan Ning?" Gao Fei interjected and asked.

"The two people behind Fan Ning, one is Liu Ran, the county chief of Wujiang County, and the other is Yan Qing, the county chief of Kunshan County. They are both very strong. In fact, the strength of these five people is about the same. Between brothers, it depends on who comes last. Played well."

Gao Fei walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and asked again: "How reliable is this "County Officials Distribution Strength List"?"

Zhao Xiuwen smiled and said: "Let's put it this way! Except for Changshu County, the other four counties have drawn a similar "County Officer Distribution Map". Except for the third and fourth levels, ours is slightly different. The ranks are exactly the same, even the ranking is the same, it can be regarded as a recognized strength list."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

"Fanning, I'm completely screwed this time!"

As soon as he went out, Su Liang yelled sadly, "I'm only ranked No.8 in the third rank, and there are fifteen others who are better than me, how could I be on the list."

Although Duan Yu was not as excited as Su Liang, his expression was equally gloomy. He was ranked No.14 in the third level, and the situation was even more severe.

Fan Ning shook his head with a smile, "I think this list is unfair. Why are the three of them ranked at the top of the tower just because they performed well in the Imperial College entrance examination? This is too arbitrary, you Su Liang didn't take the test, Duan Yu didn't take the test, and I, Fan Ning, didn't take the test, so how do you know we can't do it?"

"But that's the Taixue exam!" Su Liang sighed.

"Tai Xue exams are very arrogant? Talented Tai Xue students go to the imperial examinations to try? Besides, it's just the entrance exams of Tai Xue. It's just a group of failed imperial examinations looking for a way out. I don't think there is anything to be amazed at!"

Fan Ning paused and continued: "There is also the so-called ranking. I think that since we want to rank, we must first have a basis for ranking, such as sitting together for an exam and ranking according to the ranking. Because Changzhou County has good grades in the past, they are ranked first? What kind of stupid reason is this, are the three of us born inferior to others?"

Fan Ning's words made Su Liang and Duan Yu feel a little better. I have to say that Fan Ning's words are somewhat reasonable. The ranking list really has no foundation and is a little unreasonable.

However, Fan Ning's words did not completely change the attitudes of the two of them. They still cast a shadow over Tong Ziqian two months later.

"Listen to me!"

Fan Ning said earnestly to the two of them: "As for the solution to the test questions, I still think it has something to do with persuading farmers. You'd better take the time to go deep into the countryside to investigate, and then combine these two points with Wang Anshi's young crop method. It will definitely be beneficial to you. Good point, listen to me right!"

Su Liangliang nodded, "I'll ask for leave later, and leave early tomorrow morning to investigate in the countryside."

"What about Brother Duan?" Fan Ning turned to Duan Yu again.

Duan Yu hesitated and said: "I can only say try my best. I may have to go to Beijing in two days. I have been weak recently. My father contacted a famous doctor in Beijing to treat me. If I have time, I will definitely go investigation."

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "If you really don't have time, you can take a step back and make a copy of Dong Kun's survey on persuading farmers in Yin County, and go back and take a closer look. This is barely enough."

Duan Yu's physique is relatively weak, how can he be allowed to go deep into the countryside to investigate? Fan Ning's method is not bad, he smiled happily: "I will go to Dong Kun for information later."
