You may not have read the "History of Ru Lin Wai" written by the Qing Dynasty novelist Wu Jingzi, but for the character Fan Jin in the book, it must be familiar, and the story of "Fan Jin Zhongju" has also been in the middle school textbook. The author uses exaggerated techniques to describe Fan Jin, a candidate in his 50s, who is extremely happy and crazy because of the victory, and the stark change in the attitude of Neighbors such as Hu Butcher to Fan Jin.
The laughter and anger of the crowd can be described as extremely ironic, and Fan Jin's series of operations have become the laughing stock of posterity, but if you put his official now, you may be more excited than him
Let's first analyze and analyze why Fan Jin is extremely happy and crazy, in the ancient imperial examination, the lowest level is still a child student, only through the local county and county capital of the initial "county test" or "government test", to obtain government recognition, can be called Xiucai, don't look at this is only the first pass, but do not know how many people stopped, a county of two or three hundred child students, can only admit more than 10 Xiucai, the admission rate of less than 10%. Therefore, Fan Jin was more than fifty years old before he was admitted to xiucai, and Kong Yiji in Lu Xun's pen was still an old boy.
After becoming a show talent, you can participate in a higher level, the provinces hold a township examination once every three years, in a large number of outstanding talent, the best of the best to select the person, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the average admission rate of the person is only about 5%, and Fan Jin achieved a two-level jump, becoming a person recognized by the imperial court. Wait to become a lifter, the reader can be said to be the real carp leaping dragon gate, during the Ming and Qing dynasties gave a lot of privileges to the lifter, the government will issue subsidies to encourage them to continue to study, even if they do not continue to participate or pass the exam, the person through the vacancy, can also serve as the county order around the official position, the same, he and the county order status is also equal, no need to pay homage to each other, "Nine Pin Sesame Officials" in the Fang Tang Mirror, is a lifter.
The greater advantage of raising people is that he has a quota of exemptions from military service, so he will be supported by large families in the hope of obtaining privileges, which is not difficult to understand why the Hu butchers are desperately trying to stump, while Fan Jin is extremely happy and crazy.
Has Fan Jin, who has always been famous, stopped at lifting people? The answer is no, after he was raised in high school, there was no pressure of life, and Fan Jin, who had accumulated a lot of money, continued to high school, went to the capital to participate in the meeting, passed the position of jinshi, and was awarded the position of Shandong Xuedao. What is this official position for?
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, each province of the Qing Court would arrange a Xuedao, who would be assigned by the imperial court among those who came from the jinshi to be responsible for the government decrees and the two examinations of the year and the subject in the province's schools. Regularly tour the provinces, departments, and prefectures to which they belong, observe the merits and demerits of teachers, and be diligent and lazy.
Therefore, Fan Jin is now, similar to the director of a provincial education department, the benefits of learning the Tao, Shandong is the hometown of Confucius, originally a major province of scientific examination, and the past examination system also pays attention to the door valve school, candidates who go out from Shandong to become officials, in a sense, can be counted as Fan Jinmen, so Fan Jin's connections have also become a great force.
Therefore, although Fan Jin is ridiculous, he also has real talent to learn, and it took decades of cold windows to change the final achievements and fame, and the joy and madness can also be regarded as a catharsis of emotions for a while.
