Chapter 433 Let them pass the exam

Life returns to normal.

Everyone does their own thing.

Luo Hong also devoted his energy to the academy, formulated some rules and regulations for the academy, redivided the academy's disciplines, and actively sought out teachers and craftsmen.

At this time, craftsmen all care about inheritance. Many who have children and heirs are unwilling to teach their skills to others. They also don’t understand why others do this, and even scold them for stealing business and ruining industry rules.

Luo Hong and his friends don't think so. People who have received modern education know that the cake is very big. If they want to feed everyone, they have to make the cake bigger and bigger so that those who can eat the cake can spend the least money to eat it.

After much difficulty, he finally found a few childless craftsmen who wanted to take apprentices. Luo Hong signed contracts with them, hired them as teachers in the academy, and would also provide for their retirement when they got old.

Therefore, Luo Hong and Liu's father made a new decision regarding the issue of elderly care, which was to expand a nursing home on the vacant land next to the academy. Those who are old and have nowhere to go can live there in the future, including servants at home who have no descendants and those hired back who have no descendants to provide for them.

Luo Hong watched the number of people in the academy increase day by day. After making all the preparations, he began to work on recruiting students.

He looked at the children in the academy, laughing and playing carefree all day long, and the homeless children were gradually shedding their initial caution and timidity.

Luo Hong and Liu's father were very happy because they were too old and they were most compassionate towards children.

It's not that Luo Hong didn't pay attention to the results of the provincial examination. It's just that after he came back, the news from the provincial capital had a regional time difference, and he didn't know when the results would be available in the provincial capital.

However, Lin Weizhong had to travel back and forth between the city and the village every day. The first thing he did every morning was to check the bulletin board in the city to see if there was any list of the provincial examination posted.

Hard work pays off. Lin Weizhong finally saw the list of results of the provincial examination that morning.

Luo Hong's name was prominently on the list. There were six names on the list, and Luo Hong's name was at the very end.

Lin Weizhong was happy for Luo Hong. He excitedly told the people around him: "There is not much to do today. You go to the store first. I have to go back and tell everyone the good news."

After saying this, he drove out of the city in his carriage without looking back.

Lin Weizhong went home and went straight to the academy. When he saw people, he said, "I got it, I got it. Uncle Luo is on the list!"

Luo Hong was in a room in the academy at this time. This room was equivalent to the gentlemen's office, with several desks neatly arranged inside.

Luo Hong sat behind a desk and looked at a booklet on the table. This was the latest enrollment information. He would divide these people into classes and arrange for them to learn some skills according to their wishes.

The door was not closed, and Lin Weizhong stood at the door and said happily: "Uncle Luo, you passed the exam, you are a juren!"

Luo Hong looked up in surprise when he heard the voice. Even though he had seen a lot of the world, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

He became a juren, that’s great.

This is a juren. At this moment, he also experienced the excitement of Fan Jin's passing the imperial examination and tried hard to calm himself down.

"Really, that's great, that's great. I can now be considered to have a legitimate position in the academy. The title of a scholar is indeed too low."

Lin Weizhong notified the others, and before Luo Hong could go to the city to see the situation in person, the person who brought the good news from the city arrived at the farm in front.

With the arrival of the good news team, the nearby villages also learned the news, and of course the two village chiefs came to congratulate them.

After finally getting rid of these people, the chancellor and several other public officials came to congratulate him in the evening.

"Congratulations, six people from our mansion passed the provincial examination this time. This is the best provincial examination in history. In the past, only one or two people passed, and at most no more than five people passed."

Luo Hong: "Thank you for your praise, my friends. Luck played a role this year. The imperial court must have expanded the number of students this year, so they have made appropriate relaxations in the examination and the number of students to be admitted. Otherwise, I might not have passed the exam, and even if I did, I would have ranked at the bottom."

"Master Luo, what are your plans for the future? There will be some official examinations in various prefectures and counties this time. If you want to apply for an official position, we will be colleagues in the future."

Luo Hong nodded and said, "Thank you for your support, I will definitely come and try when the time comes. I hope to have the opportunity to be a colleague with you all. If I am lucky enough to pass the exam, please take care of me."

"That's natural!"

Several of them had to be on duty the next day, so after Luo Hong and Liu's father treated them to dinner, they left.

As the news of Luo Hong's success in the imperial examination spread, more and more scholars came to the college to apply for the position of teacher.

After investigating their character and background, Luo Hong selected five scholars to teach at the academy.

Of course, taking advantage of this momentum, the academy's planned enrollment was filled. There were still people who wanted to sign up, but they were all rejected by Luo Hong. He only told them that there were not so many places for the time being, and if there were vacancies, he would post a notice on the plaque at the government office.

There was a scholar from a relatively poor family who came directly to Luo Hong as his disciple. After several investigations, Luo Hong finally accepted him.

Luo Hong can be considered a person with disciples. He is almost 30 years old this year and has not yet started a family. The reason is that his parents are in poor health. After he passed the imperial examination, he has been making money to support his parents and has no time to study for the provincial examination.

Luo Hong was impressed by his character, and after confirming that he would be his disciple, he also brought his parents to the academy. The academy also needed help in the kitchen, and of course, someone was needed to guard the gate.

In this way, the operation of the college was on the right track.

Luo Hong went to take the examination for the government office. His math was very good, so he passed and was admitted as a clerk in the household department. His daily job was to count the taxes collected each year, and the amount of calculations required was quite large.

When Luo Hong was on duty at the government office, he lived in the city. He had four days off a month. During these four days, he would return to the village to give lectures to the students in the academy and check on the situation of the academy.

His life is very fulfilling. His little grandson Luo Junning is five years old this year and he has sent him to the enlightenment class of the academy.

The academy's enrollment has collected a lot of tuition fees. Luo Hong and Qi Xin now have jobs and income, so they bought a small house in the city, where they can live on their own when they are in the city.

They also bought a carriage and a coachman to make traveling more convenient.

After Luo Hong passed the imperial examination, he became a real juren, and his social status suddenly became higher in the eyes of outsiders.

This is also the reason why people at that time thought that only by studying hard and taking the imperial examinations could they have a bright future.

Among the four classes of people, scholars come first.
