The yamen's scalps were numb from Lin Beifan's gaze.
They bowed their hands and said in unison,"Greetings, Lord Siye!"”
"Yes!" Lin Beifan nodded his head and a staff appeared in his hand. He walked towards the group of yamen and said,""According to the rules of the directorate, those who are frequently late and leave early will be punished with 100 strokes of the cane! Who wants to go first?"
"Lin Siye, wait!" A yamen called out.
"What's the matter?" Lin Beifan asked.
The other party took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Lin Beifan's hands. He said obsequiously,""Lin Siye, a total of 100,000 taels! Do you think this punishment…can be exempted?”
Lin Beifan very naturally stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, then patted the other party's shoulder and smiled,""You're well prepared! Not bad, there was a future! I'll let you off this time, but it won't happen again!”
"Thank you, Siye Lin!"”
When the other yamen saw this, they all took out the banknotes here.
"Siye Lin, this is my 100,000 taels. Can I be exempted from punishment?”
"Lin Siye, I have 100,000 yuan too!”
"Lin Siye…
" Just
like that, before Lin Beifan even made a move, he had already earned 1.2 million, more than yesterday.
Lin Beifan was very satisfied. As expected of the students of the directorate, they were all very perceptive! This time, he would let bygones be bygones. However, if he did it again in the future, he would be severely punished!”
"Thank you, Lin Siye!" Everyone was ecstatic.
"Then, Siye Lin, can we leave now?”One of the yamen asked carefully.
"Leave? Where are we going?" Lin Beifan smiled.
"Go…go to class!" The other party was so scared that his legs went weak.
"Student, how long has it been since you last came? Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Lin Beifan's expression turned serious as he said loudly,""I'm telling you, today is the day of the monthly test, so get lost and take the test!”
"Yes…Lord Siye!" The yamen were frightened.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell everyone! In order to urge the students to study hard, the official added a rule: Every month, those who failed the exam would receive 20 canes! Those who failed twice in a row would receive 40 canes! Those who failed three times in a row would receive 80 canes…and so on until they passed! I hope everyone will pay more attention!"
The yamen wailed,"Even if you fail the exam, you still have to be beaten!"”
"Of course!" "As a student of the directorate," Lin Beifan said righteously,"you enjoy the best educational resources in the country. Naturally, you have to improve!" If you can't even pass, what else do you need?”
The yamen were speechless.
It felt as if this rule was targeted at them!
"Go take the exam now!" Lin Beifan waved his hand."Behave yourself. I will personally supervise the exam." If you are found to have cheated, you will receive 100 lashes!”
"Yes, Lin Siye!" The yens walked away dejectedly.
Today was the day of the Imperial College examinations.
In order to supervise the students and select talents, the directorate would hold an examination every month, which was called the monthly examination.
Those who scored well would be rewarded with points, and they could be promoted to a higher school and obtain better educational resources. It was even very beneficial for their future career development.
Therefore, the students and the teachers attached great importance to this place.
As the person in charge of the students 'studies, Lin Beifan naturally became the main examiner. He patrolled all the examination halls and maintained the examination discipline.
Under Lin Beifan's might, no one dared to cheat.
The monthly exam was over, and the next step was to mark the papers and grade them.
There were three grades, A, B, C. A was excellent, B was passing, and C was failing.
"Gao Tianyu, failed!"
"Wang Ruofeng, failed!"
"Ding Shaoren, failed!"
...
This group of ignorant yamen all failed!
Lin Beifan said angrily,"I really don't understand. How can you fail such a simple test?" Moreover, there were too many typos, and it was unsightly! You even wrote your own name wrong. I really don't know what books you've been reading all these years.”
This group of yyens were all shivering from being scolded.
"Siye, I was wrong. Give me another chance!”
"I'll definitely study well and pass the next time!”
"Don't be angry! It's not worth it to be angry!"
"Don't do it, okay? I'll admit it no matter how much you scold me!"
…
"No rules, no rules. If you're wrong, you have to admit your punishment!”Lin Beifan picked up his staff once again. Looking at the trembling yamen, he said expressionlessly,""What do you think we should do?"
This group of yamen knew what was good for them.
One by one, they took out their silver notes in pain.
1000 taels for one strike, 20 strikes would be 20,000 taels!
The 24 yamen added up and gave Lin Beifan 480,000 taels!
Lin Beifan stuffed the thick stack of banknotes into his pocket and nodded in satisfaction.""Not bad, very perceptive! If you had used this comprehension ability on your studies, you would have achieved something long ago! Study hard when you go back and strive to pass the next monthly exam. Otherwise, it won't be just 20,000 taels!”
"Yes, Lord Siye!" The yamen responded weakly.
