The first straw man weaved was wobbly and unsteady.

The second straw man staggered, but his figure was stable.

The third man walked again and again, and his movements gradually became faster and faster.

…

When Xue Wenzhong came back from the front yard, he suddenly saw a straw man in the backyard, walking as fast as flying; the second straw man jumped among the haystacks; the third straw man was swinging under the locust tree; the fourth straw man was swinging under the locust tree.

, plowing grain nearby; the fifth straw man, weeding in the vegetable garden.

Although there were several "failures" that overturned the food basket, knocked down the clothing pole, and sent chickens and ducks flying, Xue Wenzhong simply ignored them.

He stared at the few Fuxingcao people who were beginning to take on their charm, and walked quickly to Zhao Xing, who was holding the clothes rack and collecting the vegetable basket: "I have only been out for half an hour, and you have done this?"

Zhao Xing looked at the messy backyard and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue, I can clean it up soon, but a duck has flown out of the fence... I'll pay you one!"

The wrinkles on Xue Wenzhong's face were squeezed together because of his smile. He grabbed Zhao Xing and said: "What does a mere duck mean? Don't worry about it!"

He patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder: "Work hard and try to get a top grade in the Winter Examination. After the Spring Temple Examination and official acceptance, you will definitely have a place."

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment. After realizing that Old Sinong was not blaming himself, he smiled and handed over his hands: "Thank you, teacher."

"It's just that there are so many experts in agricultural supervision, and I am of low status, I may not be able to win..."

Xue Wenzhong understood the part that Zhao Xing was hesitant to say, which was referring to the phenomenon of the other agricultural workers taking the benefits from their subordinates, setting up small businesses privately, and helping each other vigorously.

"You have such a talent, but I ignored it in the past. It was really my mistake. From now on, you can come to the backyard and study for an extra hour every day."

Zhao Xing was hesitant to speak just now, because he wanted this effect. Xue Wenzhong's words already meant that he regarded himself as a disciple. How could he not know how to climb up the ladder?

The title changed instantly, and he bowed and said, "Disciple, thank you very much for your cultivation."

Xue Wenzhong also had a whim. In the past, he would not fight for it, but when he saw a good seedling in his old age, he also had some thoughts, so he accepted this worship:

"Keep working hard, don't waste your talents, work hard, and sooner or later you will get ahead. I don't care what others do. If you can't make it in the next year, then I will abdicate and leave my position to you!"

If other leaders said this, Zhao Xing would think that he was trying to spread the pie.

But what Xue Wenzhong said is very credible. Firstly, he has a character that values ​​trust and commitment. Secondly, he is old and could have chosen to quit long ago.

If there are not enough places at that time, and Zhao Xing's ranking is just on the edge, maybe he will actually abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his position.

"Thank you teacher, I will study hard and live up to teacher's expectations."

In the next three days, Zhao Xing learned the fourth method of straw man fabrication from Xue Wenzhong.

Even Xue Wenzhong was surprised by Zhao Xing's progress. You must know that Zhao Xing only practiced "Liu Chuan's Compilation Method" for an hour!

Zhao Xing was also very emotional:

"With the dual blessings of luck and treasures, not only did my practice speed up, but I also gained the respect of Old Sinong. Dameng Academy is really a good place. I only got a few benefits, and it made such a big difference.

"

However, in the past few nights, he tried to enter the Dream Academy again, but found that even the Questioning Platform was hidden. He didn't know if he was too weak and there was no suitable level for him to break through.

At this time, Zhao Xing was walking in the fields in the eastern suburbs.

Small officials working in agriculture usually study in the morning and work in the afternoon.

In addition to advising farmers, inspecting acceptance and other chores, there are also responsible positions. Of course, it all depends on which aspect the supervisor is responsible for.

There are disadvantages and advantages to having more people. It is relatively easy under Xue Wenzhong. Because there are more people, the boss assigns less chores, and it is not so busy.

You can spare more time to study and prepare for exams.

There are many parts to the job transfer of agricultural officer.

The first is the harvest of the towns and villages under its jurisdiction. This part is counted by the county government and is not supervised by the Secretary for Agriculture.

Most of the villages and towns were pretty much the same, but they were also divided into upper, middle and lower third-class fields. Naturally, those assigned to good jurisdictions would be better. However, Xue Wenzhong did not argue, and the good ones were divided up by the other farmers.

The second is the moral evaluation, which covers many things, including the completion of chores assigned by the Shangguan, learning attitude, reputation, etc. There is no specific standard because the authority is in the hands of the Shangguan.

The third is the ability assessment, which is based on the content of the twenty-four solar terms. Among them, there are four o'clock and eight solar terms, namely: the beginning of spring, the vernal equinox, the beginning of summer, the summer solstice, the beginning of autumn, the autumnal equinox, the beginning of winter, and the winter solstice. This must be tested, and the other key points are

The planting solar term and harvest solar term are also included in the investigation.

For example, the evaluation of Mang Zhong a month ago was based on whether the last wave of Yuandao planting was completed and the survival rate.

The person responsible for setting the questions and the person assessing it are both Sinong, Chen Shijie, a member of the ninth rank.

The above three types are counted as "normal points", and the ones with the highest scores will be recommended to the "Nanyang County Prefecture" by the agricultural supervisor at the end of the year. The three are combined into one, which is the "winter evaluation".

Sometimes there will be another round of exams for the winter evaluation, but it also depends on the situation. It mainly depends on how Nanyang County performed in the previous year. If you can pass other counties and the number of places allocated by the court is enough, then you may not need to take the exam again.

.

Next spring, I will have to go through a temple exam.

The imperial court will set the questions and further select the places submitted by each county.

Once you pass the temple exam, it will be settled.

After that came the 'formal appointment', where the imperial court issued a formal appointment document, received the baptism of luck in the temple, and became a part of the luck dynasty system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, this is a series of job transfer tasks.

In his previous life, Zhao Xing also changed his job during the reign of Emperor Jing. He was very familiar with this process, but it was still a bit difficult during this period.

It will be much simpler when the recovery version comes.

But the good thing about hard work is that many things will eventually be out of print.

"I have good luck and treasures, so it shouldn't be difficult to change jobs and go ashore." Zhao Xing was confident and walked briskly towards the public field.

The summer solstice has passed, and the slight summer heat is about to begin.

In the county government field, rice has begun to mature.

This year's winter assessment part of the ability assessment did not take the "summer solstice" test, so Xiaoshu will definitely not have another "bye", otherwise it will not be possible to complete the basic sessions of the winter assessment.

At this time, the clerks in the agricultural supervisory department basically spent most of their time running to the public fields, and the exams were not yet due, so at this time, there were already many clerks waiting here in the Gucheng public fields.

"Everyone is taking exams during the summer vacation. It's a bit like the scene in the previous life." Zhao Xing looked at it and felt that it felt a bit like taking public elective courses when he was in college in his previous life.

However, it is normal. If you miss one assessment, although you will not be dismissed, the impact will be very large. No one can guarantee that you can pass the exam even if you are missing a score in one subject.

Zhao Xing walked into the Gongtian area and felt the heat obviously, and his body began to sweat. Even if he used the [Xingyun] spell to block the sun, he couldn't resist it.

After waiting for a while, he saw Chen Ziyu and Qian Dong who had also come to take the exam, as well as Li Chengfeng, Wen Nanxing and others.

Without exception, everyone was breathing and sweating by the fields. It was really hot as a dog.

"Obviously it's just a minor summer heat, but the sun is as fierce as a major summer heat. Chen Sinong is really a bit evil. Brother, do you think he will ask any tricky questions this time?" Chen Ziyu asked.

"How do I know? Your surname is not Chen?"

"Although they have the same surname, he is a floating official and his hometown is from Xishan County. He has nothing to do with me." Chen Ziyu curled his lips and said.

"It's better to save your energy and wait." Qian Dong waved his straw hat feebly.

Just when everyone was wilting from the heat, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the south.

"Look, what is that?!"

"It's a test question, here comes the test question!"

"Oh my god, it turned out to be..."
Chapter completed!
