Chapter 462: Sun Shan is at best a tool
After a series of tedious behind-the-scenes work and due to the long journey, the results of the provincial examination were not delivered to Huangyang County until three days after the announcement.
At this moment, the lawyer took the good news and hurried to the inner courtyard, hurriedly found the county magistrate Wei, and said anxiously: "Sir, the results of this provincial examination have been announced."
Lord Wei was sitting in his office, boredly reading the latest court bulletin. When he heard his advisor talking about the list, he said "oh" nonchalantly and continued reading the bulletin.
The master said anxiously again: "Sir, this time in the provincial examination, the students from our Huangyang County have made the list."
The master was very excited. He had been with Master Wei in Huangyang County for more than ten years. Finally, he saw a student from Huangyang County on the list.
God finally opened his eyes.
Lord Wei was stunned, threw the official report in his hand, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? There are students from Huangyang County on the list? You didn't see it wrong."
Even if you kill Lord Wei, he would never believe that someone from the remote and poor Huangyang County could pass the imperial examination.
He still believed that he could pass the examination to become a scholar. After all, in recent years, many people from Huangyang County have successfully passed the examination.
In recent years, he finally doesn't have to be criticized.
Even though Huangyang County's education was at the bottom in Zhangzhou Prefecture, he was making progress little by little. People in the prefecture saw it and encouraged him.
The master said with certainty and determination: "Sir, it is true. A student from Huangyang County has passed the imperial examination, and he is the only one in Zhangzhou Prefecture. Sir, even in Zhangzhou Prefecture, no one has passed the imperial examination."
Oh my God, it’s finally Huangyang County’s turn to be in the spotlight.
Their Huangyang County finally saw the light of day after the clouds cleared.
God is still fair. He finally saw the efforts of the adults.
Lord Wei asked anxiously, "Who, who passed the imperial examination? Was it Zhang Yue from Zhang Wenshu's family, or someone else?"
Because Zhang Wenshu is a colleague, Lord Wei is quite familiar with Zhang Yue.
He was the first person I thought of.
The master hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, sir, it was Sun Shan. Do you still remember Sun Shan? Sun Shan from Sunjia Village was the first person to pass the imperial examination during your tenure."
Sun Shan, Lord Wei must remember him.
The impression I have of Sun Shan is that he is short, thin, has triangular eyes, and doesn't look photogenic.
Of course, this is not because Lord Wei remembered Sun Shan.
The reason why he remembered Sun Shan so clearly was because, as his master said, Sun Shan was the first person to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar during his tenure. Although he was the last in the exam, he was still a scholar.
As long as he can pass the exam, no matter what place he gets, his education has achieved a breakthrough.
Moreover, after Sun Shan passed the examination and became a scholar, students from Huangyang County passed the examination and became scholars one after another.
All things are difficult at the beginning, and the cicada's call is ringing in the sky.
Lord Wei said with a little excitement: "Master, is it true that Sun Shan made the list? What place did he get this time?"
Lord Wei would never have expected that Sun Shan would become the first juren in his career.
Oh, it’s amazing, so incredible.
Speaking of the ranking, the master's eyes widened when he saw it and said, "Sir, this time Sun Shan is the last on the list again. Oh my God, he has made it onto the list again. It's unbelievable."
Lord Wei and his teacher stared at each other, took the victory report anxiously, and looked at the last person on the list.
It was indeed Sunshan from Sunjia Village, Huangyang County.
He paused for a moment and then spoke incoherently, "Sun Shan is so, so lucky. He's the last one again."
The master didn't care what position Sun Shan ranked. Being able to pass the exam was a great thing, especially since it could make a significant contribution to Lord Wei's career.
The master said excitedly: "Sir, Sun Shan is the first juren in Huangyang County, and he is the result of your hard work during your tenure.
Sir, Huangyang County can achieve such results thanks to your diligence, hard work, willingness to work hard, and your hard work.
You are devoted to Huangyang County, and the people all know it."
The legal advisor flattered the county magistrate a lot, making Lord Wei very happy.
The master continued, "Sir, this time we must make a big announcement to let the people of Huangyang County know that our students in Huangyang County are not bad, and that our Huangyang County can also produce scholars, juren, and even jinshi.
My Lord, Sun Shan is the only one in Zhangzhou Prefecture who has won the title of Juren Sun. We must let the people know. In this provincial examination, only students from Huangyang County passed the exam. Students from other places all failed. "
The lawyer specifically emphasized that all students from other counties failed the exam, and only students from Huangyang County made the list!
Lord Wei understood his master's words immediately. This was to highlight his own political achievements, his own talents, and his wholehearted contribution to the education of Huangyang County.
Master, this is a good idea.
Lord Wei nodded and said, "You arrange this matter and do it well. You must let every citizen of Huangyang County know that our Huangyang County has a student who passed the imperial examination. Our Huangyang County students are amazing and are no worse than students from other counties."
The master quickly agreed and continued, "Sir, we must inform Mr. Sun's family as soon as possible about such a happy event."
The county magistrate hummed, stroked his completely white beard and said, "Send someone to announce the good news first."
The master accepted the order and added: "Sir, our messengers will beat gongs and drums all the way from Huangyang County to Sunjia Village so that the people along the way will know what is going on. This is a great event and the people will definitely be happy to hear about it."
Of course, when announcing the good news, one could not say that Sun Shan ranked last in the exam. One could only say that he was the first juren from Huangyang County and the only juren from Zhangzhou Prefecture on the list.
At the same time, we must publicize Lord Wei's contributions.
The people must be made aware in all aspects that Huangyang County has made great progress under the leadership of Lord Wei.
The common people usually cannot feel it because they are stupid. Through this success in the imperial examination, we must let the people feel the goodness of Lord Wei. Lord Wei is a great official.
If Sun Shan were here, the master would definitely be able to find someone with the same ideals as him.
Because Sun Shan was the first one to think that Lord Wei was a good official, and cursed him as a "sinister villain" who had been serving as an official in Huangyang County.
It’s a pity that Sun Shan is not here, and Lord Wei cannot hear Sun Shan’s praise.
Thanks to the publicity from the legal advisor, in less than a quarter of an hour, the people of Huangyang County knew that in the 37th year of Taiqi, their Huangyang County finally ushered in a historical breakthrough and the first juren appeared.
In an instant, the whole county was in an uproar. Whether it was the streets and alleys, the teahouses and taverns, or the county school and private academy, everyone knew that Sun Shan had passed the imperial examination.
At this time, the team of officials who came to announce the good news set out from the county government office with drums and gongs, and walked along the streets and alleys while chanting. After a while, they walked out of the city gate and walked along the road to Sunjia Village.
They walked this road a few years ago and never thought they could walk it again today.
Some active-minded officials wondered whether they would go again next year.
If Mr. Sun went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passed, wouldn't they come to announce the good news?
If that were the case, would there be more reward money?
The group of officials who came to announce the good news were banging and hammering as they went from village to village to spread the news, all with wild thoughts in their minds.
In addition to saying that Sunjia Village produced a juren, more emphasis is placed on the contributions of Lord Wei.
They are people from the yamen, Lord Wei’s people.
The performance of the big boss must be highlighted; as for Mr. Sun Shan, he is at best a tool.
