There was a new person who couldn't work, and Mo Wu still decided to talk to Han Shi.

So I patiently waited for Han Shi's break time to study, and went in to talk about it.

"Is this man really as magical as Madame said?"

Zhao Yuelong, who was teaching, asked in disbelief, and then glanced at each other with Han Shi, who was a student, and seemed to exchange some information.

Han Shi thought for a while and said, "Originally, Madame asked someone to be her husband and shouldn't interfere, but Madame said that this person is so magical, and I really want to see it as a husband." ”

At the moment when they made eye contact, Mo Wu suddenly felt like an ignorant outsider, and he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, "Look at your eyes, and then husband, you just said that, I don't like it at all." ”

Although the words are so, but ordinary people are also stuffy in their hearts, Mo Wu said it so bluntly, Han Shi didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Mr. Zhao Yuelong, a teacher on the side, hurriedly explained: "My husband and I were discussing the questions of this general examination just now, and Mrs. said that there is such a character, so there is that look just now, and I hope Mrs. will not be surprised." ”

"Aren't the exam questions the same across the country?"

For the exam here, Mo Wu is completely unconceptual.

Mr. Teaching shook his head, "Jingyao is such a vast area, and the management of each state is also different, so the general examination in the twenty-seven states is all set separately, and the people who write the questions are all local famous scholars and officials, so the content of the test can sometimes be guessed." ”

Mo Wu suddenly became interested, "Is there such a thing?" But isn't the general test the easiest? My husband should have no problem at all. ”

Zhao Yuelong said with a smile, "Although the master has good knowledge, his time in Jingyao is limited after all, and the local general test has local characteristics, so it is also helpful to be able to guess one or two questions correctly." I just don't know if the person Mrs. said is really so amazing? ”

Unexpectedly, time and space have traveled, and the habit of guessing the test is still the same.

Mo Wu muttered to himself in his heart, but the displeasure just now was swept away.

"What kind of people are the people who write the questions every year? What kind of topics are they all about? ”

"The ones who come up with the questions are local scholars and officials, but in fact, they are all local incumbents or retired masters, and the general ones are ordinary calculations, historiography and some governance, and occasionally because of the needs of affairs, there will also be some scholars or skilled masters mixed with some special topics."

"Sometimes? Do you sometimes not? ”

The exams here are also too weird.

"Generally, there will be one every year, but it may not be a spring exam or an autumn exam, most of them will have such an opportunity when they are recruited from agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, or business and politics, so that people who don't want to be officials, but want to get an errand in civil and political affairs, can take such an exam."

For Mrs. Mo Wu, Mr. Teaching has always been respectful and knows everything.

I didn't expect that the exams here were quite comprehensive, and there were different agricultural and commercial exams similar to modern civil servants.

"Isn't the general general examination an article? Are there many more topics? ”

"Of course, although it is the most basic selection, it also requires the candidate to have general knowledge skills, if it is an examiner, there will be a case to see how to deal with the candidate, which is also the most difficult part of the general examination, so every year the reference personnel want to guess one or two, in order to prepare in advance."

Zhao Yuelong continued to explain, "Is Madame also interested in participating in this general examination? ”

"Me? I just want to run the teahouse well, I only know some words recently, how can I pass the exam? Even if you pass the test, what's the use? I heard that the errand is only thirty taels of silver a year, which is not enough to make a living in the teahouse for two days now. ”

Since I was a child, I didn't have the will to be an official, even if I crossed it, it was the same, there was no benefit, and I didn't want to bother, in fact, thirty taels of silver in weak water can definitely be called a high-income group, but the teahouse is doing just right now, presumably, it is a small money.

Mr. Teaching and Han Shi looked at each other again, and said to Mo Wu with a smile: "Mrs. has lived in the frontier for a long time, I don't know, if someone in the family is on the list of the general test, even if he is not on an errand, the family's agricultural and commercial taxes can be reduced by one percent, so if Mrs. and the master have passed the general test, then the tax of the teahouse can be reduced by two percent in the future, if one person is an official, it can be reduced by three percent, if two people are officials, it can be reduced by sixty percent. ”

Jing Yao actually has such a good ordinance for demagogic officials?

Mo Wu calculated it seriously in his heart.

"Madame doesn't have to be too reassured, this is just a whim of Mr. Zhao, if it is reluctant, he doesn't care about this tax of two percent, and the husband will naturally not let Madame worry about money, after all, since the previous dynasty, the examples of husband and wife passing the guò general test are just a few anecdotes."

Han Shi said gently.

"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly, not reluctantly at all. Mr. Zhao, for the registration of the autumn exam, please register for me as well. ”

After speaking, Mo Wu happily went to Chen Yuewen to discuss the matter of guessing the question.

The master wants to participate in the general examination of the autumn examination, everyone also knows, but Mrs. suddenly signed up for the autumn examination on the day before the registration deadline, forty days before the exam, and the passionate preparation also participated in the autumn examination, everyone is inevitably a little surprised, but the lady acts differently, although everyone is surprised, but there is also a bit of habit.

And Mo Wu also handed over all the teahouse to the US dollar for the time being, and took it seriously with Han Shi to learn seriously from Mr. Teaching.

The summer heat is inevitably a little annoying, a bunch of books were barely browsed under the guidance of Mr. Teaching, how many pages did not leave any impression, more than ten days of serious study, Mo Wu recognized two things, first, Jing Yao's examination selection was richer and broader than he imagined, and second, his cultural learning ability did not improve much even if he crossed it.

"Master, madam, Xiaosheng has carefully investigated in the past few days, although he has found out that it is those families who have come up with the questions, but the questions of this general examination are indeed unfounded."

Chen Yuewen, who was entrusted with an important task, reported the results of careful investigation in the past few days.

Originally, I didn't have much confidence in my studies, so I wanted to rely on this person to explore the topic to fight for fame, which undoubtedly made a splash of cold water and poured cold on this summer.

"Since you can't find the test questions, that's it, the lord and the lady should prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

This is also a fluke temptation, and I want to take a shortcut, but since I can't take it, I still go step by step.

"Now that you know who the question is, don't you know how to use their early test papers for reference?"

In the previous exam, I had heard how countless experts summarized and summarized, guessed the questions, guessed the questions, and then hit the questions, Mo Wu was unwilling to give up the only hope in the future.

"As long as you take out all the test questions of these people, you will definitely be able to summarize some question habits, and then you will inquire about some of the most famous things here and in China, and find out what topics those people like to discuss, and you will definitely be able to get some test questions right."

After being silent for a while, Chen Yuewen asked in disbelief: "Madam, did you specialize in this business before?" ”

"It's just a whim."

Mo Wu tried his best to make himself look calm, you must know that in the previous world, the big and small exams he had experienced, not to mention the fame of a hundred battles, the two big exams every year were the torment of ice and fire, if you want to say that you have no experience at all, how can you live?

According to Mo Wu's guidance, Chen Yuewen quickly collected the exam questions of the past years and the high-scoring answer sheets that were favored by the markers that year, and then carefully investigated the major events that the people who made the papers more concerned about and often talked about them, and reported them to the master in detail.

The teacher at home carefully simulated some test questions, and then drew up two answer sheets for the two of them to write down separately.

It is said that there is no distinction between births, as long as each Jingyao person is at least fourteen years old, he can participate in the general examination, and he can obtain a certain political status and economic preferences, and there is no limit to the number of exams, but each exam must pay a thousand yuan to sign up, although a thousand yuan is for many eunuchs and merchants, even if it is not a big family, it is also light, but ordinary people, in addition to farming and textile self-sufficiency, can be converted into money The income comes from short-term work before the end of autumn. Generally, you can save four or five hundred dollars a year, and the income of the handymen in the restaurant and weaving field is higher, but it is also very good to save more than 1,000 dollars a year.

Although there is no way in the poor water, but with one-handed painting skills, the money comes very quickly, to the weak water, there is Han Shi's silver ticket, life soon has a good taste, I heard someone talk about their loss of money immediately got angry, and expelled the person, after listening to Chen Yuewen Haosheng said that it is not easy to make money, so I want to take a small fame, and strive to save two percent of the tax silver.

Because their lord and wife will go to participate in the general examination in the autumn, the servants at home are also attentive, although they are all new people, but Mo Wu has not been very concerned about the difference between master and servant, peaceful and happy, although Han Shi is cold to people, but he is never harsh, the family does not say anything else, just the food does not know how many times more than other families to see meat, so everyone still hopes that both of them can pass guò, can reduce the tea house 20% of the tax silver, everyone believes that life will be better.

The area of weak water is equivalent to the size of a modern city, some people in villages and towns refer to because there is a certain distance, most of them will go to the city to rent an inn for a night in advance and then prepare for reference, and some of them take refuge in the city to live with their relatives, and they will settle in a quiet environment, not a good point, in order to save some money, they also rent a private house to live, for a while, the people on the street are crowded, and the atmosphere is a little tense.

The exam lasted for two days, with only one morning each day, and the first day was all general knowledge questions such as arithmetic, history, and a simple calendar, and the second day was analysis questions on governing the country and some extra points for special items.

Generally, the results of the exam will be announced after five days, because it is only a general exam, and there are two times a year, so I don't feel pressured to really participate.

Because Jing Yao is the only country in the Nine Kingdoms where women can be political, it is not uncommon for several women to appear in the examination room.

It's just like Mo Wu's class, both of which were the first to be handed in, which is really impressive.
