This time, there are indeed many more people participating in the imperial examination than last year.

I participated in it last year, and after a year of review, I definitely plan to fight again, not to mention that there are many people who have consciously learned and have achieved something, and they also plan to try their luck here.

In addition, this time, Enke announced a year in advance, has been passed to all parts of the world. It was because of the interest in the imperial examination from all over the country, and many people came three months in advance, and the libraries everywhere were full.

Fortunately, no one planned to be on the blacklist, even if two or three people read a book, it would not make a fuss. It's not that they haven't read the book, but they heard that Liu Tao's sentence reading division is different, so come over to confirm.

If you want to come here to participate in the scientific examination, then the content of the scriptures and meanings is subject to the sentence reading division here. As a candidate, of course, you must be cautious, even if many people have received the news that Jingyi does not account for a large proportion of the score in the imperial examination.

According to Liu Tao's meaning, the future imperial examination should be divided into: administrative vocational aptitude test, common laws and policy theories.

Even if the law is removed later, after all, the judicial power will be separated from the local officials, and the Supreme Court will be established under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department.

Officials are only responsible for governing and maintaining local order; Judgments in civil disputes and criminal cases are entrusted to the courts; The issue of local riots was entrusted to the armed police. In this way, the power of officials will be further divided, and the officials who control the military and political power of one side will disappear from here.

Three days before the start of the exam, the candidates had already gathered. After all, the official has announced in advance, and the exam discipline and examination room instructions will be explained three days in advance. If you don't want to be kicked out of the exam room or even disqualified from the exam at that time, it's best to come over.

"Additional tests?" This time, not only the exam instructions were announced, but also a temporary announcement.

"In view of the large number of people who have been referred to this time, His Majesty has announced that there will be an additional test and that he will personally write the question. As compensation, this 120 points test paper only needs 80 points. The clerk announced.

The number of people exceeded expectations too much, the examination room was not enough, and at the same time, it was disgusted by the situation last time, a large number of mermaids, and the examiners had to complain to Liu Tao, who simply announced an additional test to screen out this kind of person.

The test will not be too difficult, but if you score 80 points, you can get the status of a showman......

Most of the candidates know that only those who have obtained the status of Xiucai can participate in the township examination. Now that the imperial court has confirmed that it is okay to be sloppy, and in the future, it will be strict, and he will have to find a way to take the boy's exam in order to obtain the identity of Xiucai.

In fact, even if there is no such preferential treatment, the imperial court asks them to take the test, and they naturally have to take the test. Now there are additional benefits, and the emotions of the candidates are naturally calmed.

"In other words, this imperial examination will take four days......" Among the candidates, someone sighed.

If he could, Liu Tao would like to take a subject in two or three hours, and finish the exam in one or two days. However, if you write with a brush, plus you have to type a draft, there is not a day that is really enough.

Strictly speaking, the exam starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m., which is ten hours including lunch time. Just to avoid collusion between inside and outside, I am not allowed to leave the examination room for the exam, and I can only go out for three days.

"This time it's not about four days of testing, but about taking an additional exam first, and the list will be announced three days later. Only those who pass the exam can take the subsequent exam. The clerk realized that the examinee wanted to be crooked, so he hurriedly corrected it.

Counting the follow-up batch and the time of the list, the time before and after ten days. After the exam, take a full day off, and the candidates on the first list will enter the palace and participate in the palace examination.

Of course, seeing that he is about to become an official, let alone more than ten days, even if he waits for a few months, the candidates will have no problem.

With the explanation of the little official, this additional examination is mainly a little cultural foundation, part of the math and arithmetic questions, part of the reading and analysis, and an article of 800 to 1,000 words, and the dissolution was announced.

An article of 800 to 1,000 words is not a small number in this era. Fortunately, the little official announced that the sentence reading was also a word, and the candidates were a little relieved. Of course, I also know in my heart that if you read too many sentences, you will probably be deducted points.

If someone dares to write the whole article in sentences, or if the sentence reading accounts for more than 60%, then they will be directly disqualified. No, no, no one really is that bold, right?

"Zhou Ping, it seems that this emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty is going to gradually abolish Jingyi......" When leaving, several scholars gathered together, all of whom were students from Shuijing Academy.

At first, they said they were looking at the world and seeing how their knowledge was. I didn't plan to come over, so I'll go back after the exam.

Later, I heard from the officials that if they don't go out of office after passing the exam, then they will be disqualified in the future. At this time, some people's minds inevitably begin to liven up.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to bet on whether to bet on whether the Han (Southern Han) can dominate, or which force has potential at present.

As long as this force finally defeats the Northern Han, then Liu Tao's ban will be of no use to them at all.

Conversely, if it doesn't work, then it's better to plan ahead. The little official who announced the rules also said that no matter where the Northern Han Dynasty conquered in the future, the original local officials would not be used again, and if they wanted to become officials, they could only take the imperial examination.

At the same time, there is also an age limit for the imperial examination, and you cannot participate in the imperial examination after the age of forty.

These scholars from all over the country somewhat don't understand why the Northern Han Dynasty is so short of people why they have such strict requirements for scientific examinations. At the same time, it is so harsh for the unexpected scholars of the Northern Han Dynasty.

But after seeing so many candidates around me, everyone probably understood in their hearts. As long as the Northern Han Dynasty continues to promote education, plus what county schools and county schools are established, there will be no fewer candidates to participate in the scientific examination in the future.

The current situation is due to the scope of the promotion and the small number of students enrolled. In the future, when there are more people, the vacant official positions are not enough for the local candidates of the Northern Han Dynasty, how can it be cheaper for the candidates from other countries?

"It's not that it seems, but that he does have this intention." The candidate from Pingzi Zhouping replied, "After all, most of the candidates come from ordinary families, and they don't have so many books to read." Therefore, the more straightforward the content of the exam, the better it is for them. ”

The scriptures will certainly not be abolished, but will be excerpted and simplified into the content of the exam, and the cultural heritage cannot be lost.

For this purpose, special teaching materials will be developed in the future. For example, Chinese, such as mathematics, plus a moral education, the county school was changed to political education. Even if the students cultivated in this way do not have such a high political consciousness, at least they can hear about these things and come as soon as they open their mouths.

As for pure scripture, it will be the stuff of the academic circle in the future. Basic education is the same for everyone, and on this basis, each family teaches its disciples casually, and after becoming a scholar, they integrate their own scholarship into governance.

After all, the foundation is there, so in practice, the essence is preserved, and the dross is removed, and the academic will only become more mature.

Perhaps, this can be regarded as another manifestation of the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the new era, right?
