Xu Duan was still eating by himself, not caring about Chu Wenjun who had already sat down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Tai, this one has been a little tight recently, so ......" Chu Wenjun looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, swallowed and said.

Xu Duan heard Chu Wenjun's words, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, and glanced at Chu Wenjun carefully.

"It turned out to be a scholar, and he should have entered the imperial capital for the exam." Xu Duan saw it at a glance.

Then, Xu Duan smiled and said: "The people of our empire can all drink, if you can drink, we will share this table of rich food, if you can't drink, Brother Chu better leave as soon as possible." ”

When Chu Wenjun heard Xu Duan's words, he couldn't help frowning.

Coo-coo.

But his uncompetitive stomach has already surrendered.

"Good! I drink! Chu Wenjun gritted his teeth.

Then, he put down the book basket, picked up the wine jar on the table, and drank it directly.

Xu Duan was quite excited, drinking alone was lonely, he just wanted to find someone to drink together, and he didn't mean to embarrass Chu Wenjun.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Chu Wenjun was extremely domineering when he held the wine jar, but he was already choking after just taking a sip.

"Hahaha, it turns out that Brother Chu can't drink!"

Xu Duan laughed heartily, and then took a sip of wine.

"Who said you can't drink it!"

Chu Wenjun didn't admit it, took another sip, and choked again.

Xu Duan wanted to stop it, but when he saw Chu Wenjun's stubborn appearance, he didn't stop him.

"Drink!" Chu Wenjun's face turned red and shouted.

"!" Xu Duan laughed.

Although Chu Wenjun drank for the first time, he was a little choked at first, but later he drank more and more.

The food on the table was also eaten by him, and Xu Duan had almost eaten it, but he had been drinking.

The two chatted together for nearly an hour, and when they looked at Chu Wenjun again, they had already been drunk by Xu Duan.

Subsequently, Xu Duan found an inn, put Chu Wenjun in, opened a room next to him, and cultivated quietly.

In the middle of the night, Chu Wenjun rubbed his somewhat sore head and sat up.

"It's ...... It's not good, let's go, or I won't have any money for that brother. ”

Chu Wenjun left with his book basket on his back, and when he got out of the city gate, he hurried in the direction of the imperial capital.

"Interesting, this scholar is really interesting."

Xu Duan, who was meditating, opened his eyes when Chu Wenjun woke up.

"Whew! I'm tired to death, let's rest here for a night, brother, I haven't asked your name yet, wait until I get the fame, and I'm repaying my brother. ”

Chu Wenjun leaned under the big tree and said to himself.

"Brother Chu, where are you going?"

Xu Duan's voice suddenly appeared in Chu Wenjun's ears.

"Hell!"

Chu Wenjun ran away, and the bookbasket was too late to take it.

"Haha."

Xu Duan looked at Chu Wenjun running away in embarrassment, and chased after him with his book basket.

Chu Wenjun looked at it while running, there was no figure behind him, and when he just wanted to turn around and go back to get his book basket, Xu Duan suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ah!!h

Chu Wenjun screamed, his face pale.

"Brother Chu, what are you shouting, your book basket." Xu Duan scolded with a smile.

"Well, you're not a ghost." Chu Wenjun whispered.

"There's such a handsome ghost." Xu Duan's face was not red and he was not panting.

“……”

Chu Wenjun took the bookbasket in Xu Duan's hand and sat on the ground to rest without saying a word.

"What is Brother Chu running in the middle of the night?" Xu Duan asked with a smile.

"I don't know my brother's surname?" Chu Wenjun asked.

"Dragon Boat Festival." Xu Duan did not say his real name.

"I hope Brother Duan won't be surprised, he has been a little tight recently, and when he gets fame in the next exam, he will definitely repay Brother Duan."

Chu Wenjun glanced at Xu Duan cautiously, he didn't know if Xu Duan asked him for money.

"Hahaha! Brother Chu is thinking too much, since I invited Brother Chu to dinner, I don't care about the two money, Brother Chu went to the imperial capital to take the exam? ”

When Chu Wenjun heard that Xu Duan was not asking for money, he was also relieved, and he said calmly: "Yes, I went to the imperial capital to participate in the big selection exam." ”

"Oh? That's a coincidence, I'm also taking the big selection exam, why don't we two go together? Xu Duan said with a smile.

"If Brother Duan doesn't dislike it, he is naturally willing to walk with Brother Duan."

……

The system of selecting talents for the hegemony of the empire is called the big selection system.

No matter what his status, even if he is a beggar, as long as he asks to participate in the big selection, he will definitely be able to participate.

This is by far one of the fairest systems in the Empire.

The large selection system is similar to the imperial examination, but there are many differences from the imperial examination, but it is also full of loopholes.

Along the way, Xu Duan and Chu Wenjun set off towards the imperial capital.

There are still 10 months to go before the big selection exam, which is at the end of this year.

As for Chu Wenjun's departure now, it is because ordinary people have no money, so they can only go on foot, and the mountains and roads are far enough to walk for several months.

Even some remote places can walk for more than a year.

Therefore, many people who participate in the big selection set off in advance and study on the road.

There are two kinds of big selection, one is the big test and the other is the small test.

The first major examination in five years, the first small examination in two years, and the results of the small examination are counted into the big examination.

In other words, it will take five years for a champion to appear, that is, the champion of the whole country.

Of course, those who did not take the small test need to have a score in the big test that exceeds the results of others' big test and small test, and people like Xu Duan need to achieve excellent results in this big test in order to win the champion.

In this way, the selection of officials by the imperial court is not only time-consuming, but also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Therefore, the imperial court also implements a recommendation system, in which talents are selected in various places and elected by officials in various places.

However, such people are basically related households, and ordinary people like Chu Wenjun don't even think about it.

Therefore, the big examination every five years is the most important time for the entire hegemonic empire, and the selection of talents and the filling of officials have made many people attach great importance to this big selection.

In the big selection examination, candidates need to answer the questions given by the examiner, which involves four aspects.

One is the military, the second is the economy, the third is political affairs, and the fourth is policy.

For these four aspects, four exams are required, and each exam is three hours.

The exam is divided into four days, and after each exam, there is a residence arranged by the empire to rest.

The imperial court also carried out a steady stream of talent selection from these four aspects.

There are some outstanding talents who were hired by the imperial court during the small examination.

Therefore, for ordinary people, including those who have been in the Gathering Spirit Realm all their lives, it is also their choice to become an official in the court.

On the way, Xu Duan also learned a lot about the big selection system, and every year there are endless tricks, and this trick is a cheat.

What makes Xu Duan happiest is that there is no fixed answer to the test questions of the big selection system, so it is very simple for him.

At the beginning, he was full of poetry and books.

Even now, when he was a child, he read books in the study for eight years.

In order to find the art of resurrection, Xu Duan can be said to have memorized the history of the Eastern Continent.

Military? He is the general of Zhenguo.

Economy? He came from Earth.

Politics? He knows 5,000 years of history.

Policy? He has a myriad of modern policies.

"It's that simple."

Xu Duan couldn't help but sigh, the position of champion was already regarded as something in his pocket.
