The appearance of Yuan Chonghuan in the Ming Dynasty.

There is a dispute about Yuan Chonghuan's native place. His grandfather was from Dongguan, Guangdong, and later went to tengxian, Guangxi, which was a bit troublesome. Celebrities are resources, so they must seize them. Dongguan said he was from Dongguan, and tengxian said he was from tengxian. The struggle has not stopped until today.

But in those days, Dongguan and tengxian were not good places.

There were many scholars in Ming Dynasty, but few scholars in Guangdong and Guangxi. According to statistics, more than 70% of them come from Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. Especially in Guangxi, there has never been a champion in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Yuan Chonghuan studied in Guangxi, and studied since he was a child, because he was doing business at home. In those days, business people didn't have jobs. If they wanted to get ahead, they had to study.

As far as IQ is concerned, Yuan Chonghuan is not low. At the age of 23, I took the unified examination in Guangxi Province and won the prize. At that time, he was so proud that he wrote some poems to celebrate and pretended to be a gifted scholar.

It was a year before he realized that he was still far behind.

Yuan Chonghuan went to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam. Soon after, he came back.

Three years later, he went again. Soon after, he came back.

Three years later, he went again. Soon after, he came back.

The sentence pattern above is repeated four times, which is Yuan Chonghuan's exam results.

From the age of 23 to 35, I took the exam four times and failed the list four times.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli (16 19), Yuan Chonghuan was finally admitted to Jinshi, which was very lucky.

He is really lucky, because he ranks 40th among the top three.

In the Ming Dynasty, the admission quota of Jinshi was roughly more than 100, and he was admitted according to his grades, ranking 40th among the top three, indicating that he almost failed the exam.

At this point, I have been to imperial academy to see the tablet of Jinshi, and I have searched for half a day in the Nake tablet in Yuan Chonghuan, only to find his name in a rather backward position (from top to bottom according to the ranking).

At that time, even if he was admitted, the future was clear, because before him, those who made contributions to the country, such as Xu Jie, Zhang, Sun Chengzong and others, were not second, but also second.

Comrade Yuan Chonghuan, who is in the middle and lower classes of the top three, is a dream to go down in history.

Of course, like many successful people (see Zhu Chongba and Zhang), when Yuan Chonghuan was young, there were many signs that he would make great achievements in the future. For example, when he came home from school and passed by the Land Temple, he was full of energy and began to educate the Land Lord: Why don't you guard Liaodong, Land Lord? !

Although I seldom take unofficial history seriously, the extent of unofficial history's nonsense is quite acceptable.

Yuan Chonghuan was born in the 12th year of Wanli (1584). It is said that this happened when he went to sea as a teenager. He said this when he was twenty-eight, only forty years after Wanli. It was forty-six years after Mr. Nurhachi fought the Ming Dynasty. According to this calculation, Yuan Chonghuan not only has foresight, but also can predict the future.

Having said that, some people always believe in this kind of thing, and some people always say that it is not a problem to fool for thousands of years.

For example, the famous prophet Chanuodanmas said hundreds of years ago that all mankind would perish at the end of this century. It has been circulated for hundreds of years, and there are a large number of related books and predictions, which are believed by countless people, making the government publicly refute rumors.

I have studied European history, but I know this old liar quite well. After hundreds of years, I don't care. In those days, he told the fortune of French King charles ii and said, King, you are in good health and can live to be 90 years old.

Charles ii was happy, and then he died at the age of 24.

In a word, at that time, Yuan Chonghuan was definitely a talented person (he could enter the top 100 in the country, so he was naturally a talented person), but comparatively speaking, he was not particularly conspicuous.

What happened next fully illustrated this point. Because it was too humble, when the official department assigned jobs, it even missed this guy, saying that there was no vacant position and asked him to wait for another year.

So Yuan Chonghuan stayed at home for one year and forty-eight years (1620), and finally got his first job: Shaowu County, Fujian Province.

Shaowu, today's Shaowu, is located in the northwest of Fujian, next to Wuyi Mountain, in other words, the mountainous area.

In this mountainous county, Yuan Chonghuan worked very hard and actively, and his achievements can't be said, but he once climbed the beam to help the people put out the fire. However, as a county magistrate, this is not easy.

As for other brilliant achievements, it is unclear. After all, it is a county town, and it is difficult to do anything earth-shattering.
