After the release of the test list, the 500 tribute places have been released, of which the top 100 will participate in the palace test five days later.

In the past six months, many county governments in the Great Sui have built schools (children are called schools, and they will only enter special academies to study after passing the children's examinations) and academies.

The Tianyi Academy in Chang'an City is a collection of academies and tribute courtyards as a whole, and Mu Fushu also donated in the name of the queen's private property in Shudi's "Tianyi Villa", and set up ten schools in Chang'an City, with an average of one for every two squares.

There were more than 20 square markets in the original Chang'an City, and when San Lang re-planned Chang'an City after ascending the throne, the square markets in the entire Chang'an City were divided again, divided by five places in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, with four squares in each direction, which was also convenient to manage.

These ten schools are all rebuilt from ready-made recipes, because the school is close to home, and there is no need for accommodation, so the dormitory is saved. Only one meal at noon is provided by the school, so the canteen is still needed. These schools are designed for children under the age of 12, and in order to strengthen their physical fitness, each school has a large open space with a playground and a racecourse, surrounded by a racetrack, with a field and training equipment such as uneven bars for exercise.

Horses are naturally needed when there is a racetrack. Now each academy has three to no horses, although a little less, but it is better than nothing.

At the beginning of the year, San Lang sent people to open several horse farms in the vast grasslands in the west, using the horses in the Mu Fushu space as stallions to breed and breed, and I believe that in the near future, the Great Sui will not be short of horses.

The school's prospectus also focuses on the recruitment of female students. It also clearly states that women can also take the children's exam. When the brief was first issued, Saburo was still worried that there would be opposition from officials, and as a result, no one came out in the court. When asked about Cui Yuanqi, he sighed and replied to Saburo: "What if you pass the Tongsheng trial and enter the academy?" I entered the academy at the age of twelve, and after three years, the government examination was already fifteen, and the average fifteenth lady of the family was married......"

Before he finished speaking, San Lang already understood what he meant, even if he passed the government test? Which family's parents are full of food and support them all the way down to the exam? Can they still take the exam until their early twenties? Have you taken the hospital exam, passed the palace exam, and become a female official without marrying?

"Of course you can be an official!" Mu Fushu touched his bulging belly. The spirit is uplifted: "We also have to issue a decree, the ladies are the same as Lang Jun, if they can be admitted to the Gongshi, they can become officials." Whether it is to enter the palace as a female official or to be released. If a female official marries, the lord is not allowed to take a concubine, and the female official has half of the property rights in the family. ”

It's almost said that a female official can marry Langjun.

In this era, even the status of women has improved a lot. The husband's property has no share of their own, and all they can use is their own dowry. Although there is a Marriage Act that guarantees the status of a woman in the main family. Ordinary people are not allowed to take concubines, but they are not considered concubines, so the fate of women is still worrying.

Mu Fushu proposed that women go to school to become female officials, which is also to further improve the status of women.

The women of the Great Sui and the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties are different. can show his face, and he doesn't take remarriage very seriously, and he doesn't encourage widows and women to keep festivals. Therefore, there may be a little criticism of this point proposed by Mu Fushu, and there should not be many people who oppose it.

First, as Cui Yuanqi said. In this era, the lady can get married when she is fifteen and young, where will the average family give the little lady in the family so much time to take the exam?

The second is that most men at this time are machismo, thinking that women are stupid, where will they be like men to pass the guò exams and finally be admitted to the Gongshi? You must know that many scholars stop at showing off their talents all their lives.

Being a female official is easy to say, but hard to do!

On the third day after the 500 tributes were freshly baked, that is, two days before the palace examination, the Ministry of Rites issued a new edict: women could enter the hall, participate in scientific examinations, and become female officials.

In general, the rights of female officials are similar to those of men, and they can set up their own doors without setting up a female household, and they can go to the man's house when they marry, or the man can live in the female official's house, and their status is equal.

In general, female and male officials will be equal in terms of status and official position.

As soon as this edict was issued, the whole country was in an uproar.

The five hundred tributes had mixed tastes in their hearts. They are all outstanding people who have studied hard for more than ten years and stood out from hundreds of thousands of scholars across the country. As soon as the new edict issued by the Ministry of Rites came out, their first thought was that there would be "female colleagues" working with them in the near future.

Thinking about Mao, in addition to embarrassment, will there be a little excitement?

And those who have not yet participated in the scientific examination are in a worse mood: the competition is fierce, and there will be ladies competing with them for places in the future, what is this called? If you don't get in, but other little ladies do, doesn't it mean that they are not as good as women?

Putting aside how much controversy this edict caused in the Great Sui for the time being, the palace trial in the first year of Shengkang was reopened.

The average age of the 100 tributes was about 30 years old, which was also the result of the consultation between the emperor and the ministers. Those fifty or sixty are forgotten, in Mu Fushu's opinion, they have all reached retirement age, so don't think about shining anymore, if they don't have particularly outstanding grades, at most they have done official addiction to a junior official, and they will not give up the hard work of scientific research at a large age.

On September 21, the frost fell on the solar term, and a hundred tributes arrived at the Hanyuan Hall early in the morning, waiting for the emperor to personally preside over the palace test.

Mu Fushu's due date is still a month and a half, and he ate a bowl of bistem rice porridge, two baskets of xiaolong soup dumplings, and a cup of milk early in the morning. Saburo on the other side also ate two soup dumplings less than her. Seeing that she finished eating, he pulled her up to clean her face, and helped her put on a thick robe, so he changed his clothes and went to Hanyuan Hall with her.

Mu Fushu didn't go to the recent court, because she urinates frequently now and is not suitable for sitting for a long time. This time it was a palace exam, and she wanted to see it, so that she could see what the last level of this ancient scientific examination was like.

When it comes to ancient scientific research, Mu Fushu definitely doesn't know as much as San Lang, after all, San Lang was taught by Yang Weng himself, even if she has been in class for a while, those difficult ancient texts are only known and can be recited, but the meaning is not understood.

Just like the exam questions this time, although I didn't take the eight shares, but the questions are still in classical Chinese, she doesn't understand what to break the question, she only has one question in it, it is about floods, the answers are not the same, there are blocked and some are sparse, and there are those who say that the dam is built to build a reservoir, who said that the ancients did not know? They thought of everything that Mu Fushu could think of, and what was missing was building materials such as cement.

Therefore, don't underestimate the ancients, what they lacked was the development of science and civilization, not intelligence.

The number of people in the temple examination this time is not large, and the written examination will start at the end of the hour.

In fact, the so-called palace exam is to do the exam paper in front of the emperor, but there are fewer questions, and they are solved on the spot in the Hanyuan Palace.

Mu Fushu and San Lang sat on the imperial steps and looked at the tributes who were writing seriously behind the hundred tables below, some of these people were sweating profusely, some were white or red, and some were trembling slightly with nervousness......

Among them, there is another person they know, who is the tease invited by the monkey - Zhou Langjun.

Sure enough, he is worthy of Zhou Hanlin's grandson, he not only passed the hospital examination but also entered the palace examination!

Originally, the number of tributes in this session was more than in previous years, which was equivalent to an expansion. However, those who can participate in the temple examination are among the top 100 in the country. In other words, Zhou Langjun and the Zhou family clearly have two brushes, and it is not in vain that San Lang opened the back door for him.

Before San Lang and Mu Fushu came, these tributes had been taking the test for a while. It didn't take long for someone to start handing in the papers.

With a hundred tributes, it is naturally impossible for Saburo to read the papers alone. Yang Weng, Cui Yuanqi and others first approved the questions with standard answers, and then transferred them to San Lang.

Gradually, more and more people are submitting papers, and they are numbered according to the time they submit them. San Lang read the volume and thought it was good, so he handed it to Mu Fushu, and the ordinary one was pressed on the case.

Mu Fushu took a few exam papers, and his first reaction was that these candidates' handwriting was good, the papers were neat and tidy, and they had not been altered.

Although pencils and simple fountain pens had been invented, the imperial examinations were based on brush characters. These people are the best among the students, and they are naturally all good writers.

After reading a few exam papers, Mu Fushu felt that there was some internal urgency, and pregnant women with frequent urination and urgency could not afford to hurt...... After saying something to Saburo, he went into the side hall surrounded by the palace maids to solve the problem, and he was afraid that his legs would be swollen after sitting for a long time, so he turned around outside before coming in.

At this time, the marking work had come to an end, and when Saburo saw her come in, he handed her an exam paper with a smile, and gave a hint with a rare wink.

Mu Fushu's results took a look at the signature: Zhou Jiaming.

Zhou Jiaming's words do not match his person, and he looks very fair and rigorous. The paper is also clean, and the previous questions are all very good, almost full marks. When he only saw the last question, Mu Fushu almost broke his success and laughed.

The last question is a somewhat controversial policy to the effect that if there is a huge amount of corruption, what should be done.

In fact, strictly speaking, this question looks like an argumentative question from a previous life. When the results of the argument on this matter came out, many people wrote a lot of things, from the danger brought to the ordinary people to the smear of the Great Sui, sorry for the family, the country, the society, and the people of Limin...... Many people quote scriptures and use gorgeous words, and they want to go to the toilet when they see Mu Fushu.

Zhou Jiaming is different, the whole article is hundreds of words, to the effect that according to the amount of bribes or embezzlement, in order to determine the disposal method of corrupt officials, raiding the house is necessary, and then exile, selling into slavery, mining, etc......

Mu Fushu sighed, this kid is really a good child, there are no small punishments and big commandments that are compassionate to a few people, nor are they upright and full of beheadings, let alone the flowery rhetoric that can't be said for a long time. This kid just writes honestly about the punishment he deserves, and his tone is dry and businesslike, clear and detailed, and he doesn't have the consciousness of being taken by the school to be slapped.
