"No one was a lobbyist, he came up with it himself. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Zhen is also quite puzzled by this, Jiang Ge Lao is sixty years old, and he has not presided over the scientific examination for more than ten years, this time I don't know why, I actually took the initiative to ask the emperor for help, if it wasn't for Jiang Ge Lao to find the emperor, Zhao Zhen happened to be by the emperor's side, and he wouldn't know about it before the chief examiner was announced.

The scientific examination system of today's dynasty is not much different from the Northern Song Dynasty in history, the same is once every three years, the county examination and the provincial examination are in the autumn, and the examination is in the spring, that is to say, the general lifting child through the provincial examination to obtain the qualification of the lifting child can participate in the spring of the second year (the provincial examination here and the ancient township examination are the same thing, but the author Jun feels that it is written as the county examination, the provincial examination and the meeting examination, it seems to be more clear at a glance), if you feel that the accumulation is insufficient, you can postpone three years and then participate.

Enke is only opened once every three years, the number of references can be imagined, the number of people who participate in the examination will not be less than three thousand, Bianjing has a total of two large tribute institutes, each academy can accommodate no less than two thousand students, can become the examiner of the examination is all in a high position of the full study of Confucianism, Jiang Ge old Jinshi background, these years by him led the implementation of countless strategies, whether it is for the court or the people, can be described as immeasurable merits, such a person, in the minds of the students The weight can be imagined.

It's just that since he began twelve years ago, he has not served as the chief examiner of the examination again, and no one expected that he would be interested again when he was over sixty years old, and on February 23, after the news of the examiner was announced, there were those who were excited and wailed all over the city, and the punishment of students who cheated with reference was extremely severe (in fact, not only the dynasty, but any dynasty, as long as it was not a dynasty that was facing immediate destruction, the punishment for students who cheated with reference was not light.) ）

However, no matter how strict the law is, it is impossible to completely eliminate the phenomenon of fraud, and there is no guarantee that there is no loophole to exploit, but when this examiner candidate becomes Jiang Ge Lao, all the people who have moved their hearts and have luck in their hearts have rested, no one can take advantage of the loopholes from him, and no one dares to have luck under his nose.

On February 27 and 8 in the third year of Tianxi (1019 AD), the streets of Bianjing can be seen everywhere 3322 of the children gathered together to go shopping and play, February 29 is about to start the exam, three days before the exam, most people will not read books again, with the knowledge involved in the court examination, there are no real people, at this time to hold the book and read hard, it is useless.

The time of the imperial examination is three days, the content and subjects of the examination are very different from those of the previous dynasties, and the difficulty has increased several times, the scriptures and the meaning of the scriptures are all there, but the content is very different from the previous dynasties, the scriptures are equivalent to the modern fill-in-the-blank questions, the ink is equivalent to the modern short-answer questions, the content of the scriptures and the Moyi exams of the past dynasties is relatively simple, and more from the "Analects", "University", "The Mean" and other students often read textbooks to select a part of the test questions.

In addition to the knowledge of "Analects", "University", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Songs", "Science", "Agricultural Classics", "Arithmetic", "Notes on the Water Classic" and other subjects are involved.

Today, since Jiang Ge Lao entered the court, he just approached Taizong's side, and he made a statement to the Son of Heaven, focusing on the importance of these courses, such as arithmetic, he believes that a country's students, most people only have the introductory stage of arithmetic, even if it is a little more complicated, even if it is not out, it is embarrassing, and it is only harmful to the development of the countryThese knowledge are all related to people's livelihood......

For this reason, since the beginning of the three years of Yongxi in this dynasty (986 AD), the comprehensive reform of the scientific examination system, science, arithmetic, agricultural economics, and water conservancy subjects are unified into the compulsory examination courses, and Jiang Zuolang is fully responsible for the overall leadership, at the beginning of the two sessions, the students are not adaptable, it is really a troublemaker, to Chunhua three years (992 AD), the situation is basically stabilized.

Everyone has realized that learning these knowledge is much more useful than simply learning poetry and songs, even if you can't get into the Jinshi, learn more of this kind of knowledge, whether it is business or agriculture in the future, you can use it....... in short, in a word, the content of the scientific examination in this era is all-encompassing, and the people who can take the Jinshi examination are all involved in various scientific knowledge, and they are well-deserved talents.

The day before the exam, that is, on February 28 of the third year of Tianxi, Song Qiuyi made a special trip to Bianjing for Zixiu to cheer for him, and on February 29, the fifth watch day just arrived, Song Qiuyi came to call Zixiu's door, fortunately, Zixiu has practiced martial arts for many years, and has developed the habit of getting up early, and usually gets up after a little on the fifth watch.

When Song Qiuyi came over, he had just woken up, and when he heard a knock on the door, he got dressed and got up, opened the door and saw Song Qiuyi standing outside the door, and couldn't help but say, "Second uncle, what are you doing so early?" ”

"It's early, it's five watches, and it's only one hour before I can enter, can I not be anxious." Song Qiuyi said.

"There is still an hour, we are not far from the Tribute Courtyard, and it only takes about a pillar of incense to walk, can we be in such a hurry?" Zi Xiu glanced at Song Qiuyi with some surprise, when did his second uncle be able to create the famous Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce with his own strength, when did he become so breathless?

"Stinky boy, I'm not ...... Forget it, you and your sister are the same, look at your wide-hearted appearance, it must be Zhizhu in your hand, I will rest assured, hurry up and wash, I have asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you, let's go over after breakfast. Song Qiuyi couldn't wait to knock on the door of his head, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he found that the little doll in the past was already taller than himself, and the palm he stretched out could only be put down again, he glanced at Zixiu a little helplessly, and said.

"Thank you, uncle, you go eat first, I'll come right away after I wash my teeth and wash my face." A touch of warmth appeared in Zi Xiu's heart, he knew that the reason why Song Qiuyi was so nervous was that he really cared about himself.

The two had breakfast, when they came to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, the front was already full of dense lifts, as the sky brightened up a little bit, as soon as the hour arrived, the solemn salute sounded, after three salutes, the lifter entered the examination room in an orderly manner under the careful inspection of the Praetorian Guards who were waiting at each entrance.

The admission check is very strict, except for the pen inkstone and the admission ticket, you are not allowed to bring anything in, the admission ticket is an official document with your name, identity number and portrait, and the current admission ticket has the same meaning, in order to avoid cheating in the examination, the portrait on the admission ticket must be at least eight points similar to the person who enters. (Each artist's skills are different, and it is not very likely that a person can be painted very similarly, but as I said, everyone's clothing changes over time, and their appearance also changes to a certain extent, so it is impossible to require everyone to be exactly the same as the portrait.) ）

In addition to these two things, the lantern manuscript paper in the examination room is uniformly distributed by the official, and the meal beds are also arranged by the official, and the students who refer to it must take their admission tickets to pay for three days of food and bed fees before entering the venue, that is to say, during these three days, all candidates can only spend time in the examination room and cannot contact anyone.
