After the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the city of Tokyo became a world of students, and the candidates who came from the military superintendents of the state capitals were almost crowded with the inns in the city of Tokyo, and the exams in the state capitals were better, after all, the personnel were scattered, but the provincial exams were only held in the capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The number of people who came to participate in the provincial examination this year was counted by the Ministry of Rites and sent to the palace, Zhao Zhen lay on the rocking chair and enjoyed Vera's massage, opened the fold presented by Sancai and almost threw out the Jianzhan in his hand, in the surprised eyes of Sancai and Vera, Zhao Zhen exclaimed: "Why are there so many? That's 23,000! ”

Facing the surprise of the official family, Sancai put away the surprised expression on his face and said with a smile: "What the official family said, isn't it true that the more people there are, the better?" This is your work of governance! In the Taizong Dynasty, there were more than 20,000 provincial examinations. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned, although there were more than 20,000 provincial examinations during the Taizong period, that was because of the lack of officials in the prefectures and counties in those years, and the large-scale recruitment of scholars, so there were often as many as 10,000 or 20,000 people participating in the provincial examinations, but now the number of officials has been bloated to the point of outrageous, and there are so many people participating in the imperial examination, which is a bit strange.

What's more, this is the first imperial examination since he succeeded to the throne, and the imperial examination is held at a rate of once every three years.

In the imperial examination of more than 10,000 people, at least one or two hundred people have been awarded the rank of jinshi, once every three years, and three times in ten years, how many people will be admitted in total? No wonder it is necessary to set the survey, this is suppressing the number of grassroots officials!

The door of the main hall was pushed open, and Chen Tong walked in with a dozen materials and put it on the imperial case not far away, saying: "Qiqi official's family, the black hand sent information." ”

Zhao Zhen asked boredly, "What is it about?" ”

"Song Siqing said it was about this year's imperial examination."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Take it to me and see, maybe the answer is inside." ”

Vera got up lightly, took the information, handed it to Zhao Zhen, and massaged him intently.

Compared with the statistics of the black hand of the Ministry of Rites, which is more accurate and detailed, the candidates from all over the country have detailed records, and it is obvious that the number of people admitted to the state capital affected by the disaster before is too large, which is to give benefits to the local scholars!

Even if you get the status of lifting people, it is useless, as long as you don't participate in the provincial examination to get the Jinshi background, everything is in vain, and the next time you participate in the imperial examination, you still have to re-examine the people, in other words, lifting people in the Song Dynasty is a one-time thing, which is equivalent to an admission ticket.

And these scholars are not only for the Jinshi Branch, the Jinshi Branch is the most difficult subject, but almost all of the ministers of the two prefectures are from the Jinshi Department, and it is no wonder that the scholars call the Jinshi Department the Prime Minister's Department.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the way of the imperial examination was the same as that of being an official, it was relatively wide, and there were many subjects in the imperial examination, which were divided into Jinshi, Nine Classics, Five Classics, Kaiyuan Ceremony, Three History, Three Rites, Three Transmissions, Pedantry, Ming Classics, Ming Law and other subjects.

Even if you can't do it in Jinshi, you can try other subjects, maybe you will be favored by the examiner, as long as you enter the examiner's eyes, congratulations, luck is coming!

If you want to be an official, you don't have to participate in the imperial examination, you need to be an official in the shade, you can make up for the army, you can be a servant, and the most disgusting Nasu regent, etc., but these are far from the imperial examination.

The literati are high-minded, and there are few who go to the sidelines, even if they become officials, they will be looked down upon by their colleagues, and they will not even be reused......

The 23,000 people in Zhao Zhen's hands are rushing to the imperial examination, and more than 18,000 of them have been admitted to the Shike, this is the rhythm of Shengsheng to squeeze the Gongyuan?!

Fortunately, the black hand thought of a countermeasure and put the address of this imperial examination in the military academy on Yishan, where the place is not only large, but also can strengthen defense, which solves Zhao Zhen's worries, and the candidates of several other subjects are arranged in the tribute courtyard of the Ministry of Rites.

The last words made Zhao Zhen interested, this is anti-cheating!

Cheat? For Zhao Zhen, a later generation, what kind of cheating methods he has not seen?

The easiest way to deal with cheating is to ban inside and outside, and the Royal Military Academy, which is guarded by the Imperial Forbidden Army, does not have to worry about internal and external communication, and the next thing is to investigate and deal with the simple matter of cheat sheets, and hand it over to the black hand to ensure that one is accurate.

This time the three rats have something to do......

In people's expectations, the day of the imperial examination on September 15 has arrived, and the candidates of the Jinshi Department looked at the examination room in front of them in surprise and the prison, which was held in the tribute courtyard of the Ministry of Rites in previous years, but I didn't expect that this year it was actually held in the mysterious military academy on Yishan, which made many people panic at once.

The Great Song Dynasty was strict with the imperial examination invigilation that the Sui and Tang dynasties did not have, even if you left a mark with the examiner on the written test paper, it was useless, because not only did you have to seal it, but you also had to copy a new copy before it could be handed over to the examiner.

In this way, even the handwriting is unrecognizable, and there is almost no possibility of fraud, not to mention that Zhao Zhen is still personally ordered by Lu Zongdao and Song Shou to preside over the exam, and the two of them are also famous critics who are rigorous in the DPRK and China.

Zhao Zhen came to join in the fun when he was idle and bored, watching the candidates below being inspected from the high tower of the military academy, and Rat San led a group of black-handed officials to conduct a carpet inspection of each candidate who entered the examination room, and the piles of notes on the side were like a hill of papers.

It seems that the shortcut to cheating is not unique to later generations, and some people have taken risks since the Great Song Dynasty.

As long as the candidates are found to have entrainment, they will be disqualified from taking the test, and they will kneel aside with heavy shackles to show the public.

Soon the big bamboo basket set aside by the rat three in advance was piled up, and many people found that they couldn't pass this pass and threw away the cheat sheet or something early, but there were also many lucky people who still took risks, so the soles, the jackets, the hairpins, and the crowns and hats became the objects of the key inspections of the rats, and some people were stripped naked and locked in place, and the five classics were copied with a brush on the body. ”

Zhao Zhen stood on the tower and looked at all this with a smile, Rat San is really an invigilator talent!

The melodious bell rang, and the door of the examination room was slowly closed, the gate of this military academy was the same as the forbidden middle school, with a bracket installed on it, which was easy to close, but very troublesome to open.

The heavy gate separates the inside and outside into two worlds, and the students of the military academy have become officers on duty, standing on the high fence and staring closely at the exams, and there are officials on the road to patrol the exams.

Under the strict invigilation, the psychology of the candidates is also a test, only to do the honor and disgrace, leisurely stroll can play their level normally.

Zhao Zhen, who was in a mood, was deeply damaged by the urgent report in front of him, and the report of the gold medal was definitely urgent.

Taizhou Xixi is on the coast of the Yellow Sea, the old seawall built by Li Cheng in the Tang Dynasty is in disrepair for a long time, it bursts in many places, the tide is backfilled, the brine is full, the fertile land is flooded, the salt stove is destroyed, the people suffer deeply, the Jianghuai Cao Yun Zhang Lun, the pain of the seawall is disadvantaged, it is recommended to build an embankment along the coast, and rebuild the weir to defend the sea.

Zhao Zhen's face changed, and Vera on the side carefully served a bowl of lotus seed soup, she knew that every time Zhao Zhen was angry, Wang Yuyan would serve a bowl of lotus seed soup.

Looking at Vera's pitiful appearance, Zhao Zhen reluctantly took the lotus seed soup and drank it before putting away the bitter image.

"Sancai, invite Xianggong Kou and Xianggong Wang."
