As the temperature slowly rises, the snow in Guanzhong has basically melted.

Only on some of the summits can you still see some snow.

In Chang'an City, many people have begun to go out of the city to play, and they finally hold back for a winter, and they all want to come out and let go of themselves.

However, the disciples who came from afar from all over the country did not have this mood.

The chief examiner of this year's imperial examination is Wei Zheng, this news is not a secret, after the New Year, basically all scholars know.

"Brother Cheng, I have visited several nobles from the Ministry of Rites in the past few days, and they are all closed, it seems that Duke Wei has brought a lot of pressure to everyone."

In Diandu Dezhong, a few scholars sat by the window and exchanged experiences.

"Now the exam papers are all nameless, and they will only be graded after re-copying, and it is getting more and more difficult to rely on the support of nobles."

"I heard that the number of participants in this year's spring boudoir has set a record high, and even in the unpopular Ming Arithmetic Department in previous years, there are five or six hundred people participating in the provincial examination."

"The Ministry of Officials now attaches great importance to the arrangement of the imperial examination scholars, and these people are more likely to be promoted after entering the officialdom, whether they are children of the family or scholars from poor families, they are actively participating, no wonder the number will increase year by year. If you don't win this year, the competition will be even more fierce next year. ”

"Hey, I'll go to Huayan Temple to incense in a while, bless and bless you for good luck this year."

……

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Shimin frowned again and listened to Li Zhong's report on Li Kuan's recent situation.

"You said he asked someone for thirty provincial examination places in the Ming Arithmetic subject?"

"Yes, according to the usual practice, His Royal Highness the King of Chu can only recommend a maximum of five scholars to participate in the provincial examination, so he also went to Fang Xiang and others to help recommend the students of Guanshishan Academy."

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was far less formal and serious than the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although it had been reformed once at Li Zhong's suggestion, the practice that nobles could recommend scholars to directly participate in the provincial examination was retained.

This is also to avoid excessive resistance to the reform of the imperial examination.

After all, in Li Kuan's view, who participates in the imperial examination is not the root of the problem.

As long as you make sure that the final selection is a talent with real skills, even if you have taken shortcuts before, there is no problem.

"His academy only participates in the Ming Arithmetic Department?"

Li Shimin felt a little confused about what Li Kuan thought.

In his opinion, Sun Simiao's apprentice grandson, if he goes to participate in the Ming Medical Department, not to mention the top student in high school, it should be no problem to get a good ranking, especially that Lin Ran, who is very trusted by Li Kuan.

"Yes, no one from the other four subjects participated."

"Forget it, this Guanshishan Academy always does some strange things, he is willing to toss, let him toss."

……

"Lord Wang, Master specifically told me that I was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, why did you report my name again?"

Lin Ran stood in front of Li Kuan with a depressed face.

As a medical genius, Lin Ran's mathematical talent is not bad.

Because when studying medical skills, more and more need to use all kinds of records and statistics, Lin Ran also specially studied Arabic numerals and various arithmetic textbooks compiled by Li Kuan.

To put it mildly, in terms of Lin Ran's mathematical level, in Guanshishan Academy, he is at least in the top ten.

"Doctor Sun just won't let you participate in the Ming Medical Department, right?"

Li Kuan's words directly blocked Lin Ran's complaints.

"I only love to study medical skills, I only like to see people and do surgery, I have no interest in being an official, even if I am in the Ming Arithmetic Department, what is the point?"

This is what Lin Ran can't figure out the most.

"If you want to develop your medical skills, it is not enough for you to fight alone, you need more smart people to join them; And whether the School of Medicine of Guanshishan Academy can attract more smart people. Whether you are in the middle school or not, it is related to the attractiveness of the college, do you think it makes sense? ”

Lin Ran was speechless.

……

Guanshishan Academy.

As the actual person in charge, Xu Jingzong lived directly in the academy and personally saw off the students who participated in the Ming Arithmetic Course today.

Originally, Xu Jingzong wanted Li Kuan to come over and say a few words to everyone, but Li Kuan felt that this not only increased the mental pressure on these students, but also disturbed his lazy sleep, which was completely more than worth the loss, so he didn't come.

Of course, that doesn't mean he doesn't care.

"Brother Liu, this is the first time that our academy has participated in the imperial examination, we must win the champion of the Ming Arithmetic Subject, I hope that the person who wins me is you."

A plainly dressed and ordinary-looking student was talking to a few classmates next to him.

"Brother Chen, the prince is as kind to our family as a mountain, this is a clear calculation, I am determined to win, but you don't have to keep your hands."

It was Liu Yuan who spoke, who followed his father Liu Dalang from Lantian County to Chang'an City, if it weren't for the honeycomb coal workshop of the Chu Wangfu to take in their family, it is estimated that the bones would have turned to ashes.

"Don't worry, which of us people is not deeply favored by the prince? Wang Ye hopes that the academy can dominate the current science and mathematics department, and it is not enough to win a champion. ”

This Chen Xing, who was thrown into the sea of people and was not at all inconspicuous, was the son of Chen Dali, the glass workshop of the Chu Palace.

In fact, at least half of the Guanshishan Academy are like Liu Yuan and Chen Dali, who belong to the sons of craftsmen in various workshops in the Chu Palace.

……

Shangshu Provincial Ministry of Rites South Courtyard Tribute Academy.

Early in the morning, there were Jin Wuwei stationed in the periphery, and there were officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who were constantly confirming various things.

Some anxious scholars rushed over before dawn, for fear of oversleeping and missing a major event.

By the time the hour came, the outside of the Gongyuan was already densely packed with scholars taking the exam.

"Fourth brother, brother Wei is waiting for you here for a day today. After the exam, I will take you to Yihong Mansion to have a long experience, relax, and celebrate you in advance. ”

Wang Jie held Wang Sheng's hand and said a few words of encouragement.

"Big brother, just wait for my good news."

Wang Sheng was full of spirits, as if he was already the champion of the Ming Arithmetic Department.

Being able to make Wang Jie, the eldest son of the eldest son of the patriarch in the clan, pay so much attention to it, Wang Sheng felt a joy more and more.

"I heard that this year's exams are more difficult than in previous years, so you should not take it lightly. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Chang'an City, it's always right to be careful. ”

Although Wang Jie was very confident in Wang Sheng, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

The DPRK and China are paying more and more attention to the imperial examination, and the family is obviously paying more attention to the annual imperial examination, so it is natural to hope that there will be some gains every year.

This year, in addition to Wang Sheng's participation in the Ming Calculation Subject, there are also people in the Ming Economics Department and the Jinshi Branch, but with Wang Jie's understanding of them, it is estimated that it depends on Wang Sheng to be in the first class.

It's just a pity that Wang Sheng didn't participate in Jinshike!
