The New Year of the eighth year of Zhenguan was spent on a brightly lit night, or on a noisy night with firecrackers.

This **** fun some dolls, as well as the little ladies, I saw that on Chang'an Street, groups of rich families and poor women were wandering on the street, because the street was too bright, and there were a lot more Wuhou patrolling the street than usual, so they were very bold to play outside.

Even, this bright night, has been insisted until the first month, although the work is very early, but people's New Year's spirit is very late.

No, soon, February has arrived, that is to say, the first official unofficial imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty has begun.

This day was chosen on the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, and it was also the day when spring ploughing was to begin, so this Li Er not only took all the ministers to worship the dragon god and the god of agriculture, but even all the people who participated in the imperial examination also followed to worship God together, and it was the day to enter the field.

The official examination takes three days, starting from the afternoon of February 2, the morning is the time to enter the venue, and the entrance door of the examination room is officially closed at noon.

Because it is the first time, it is not so formal, and the place chosen is a relatively large hall, in this imperial city, there are not many others, but this hall is a lot.

Moreover, because he had no experience, all, this first time, Li Er took Yang Qiao's suggestion, read the scroll, and even hung the scroll, and then, it was one person and one table, one brush and one pencil.

This is also different from history, that is, there is more pencils.

This exam, I won't introduce them one by one, in the end, let Yang Qiao see what is the power of internal determination, you know, Yang Qiao has an internal determination, in fact, this so-called internal determination, that is, as long as his words and articles are still over, it is almost an ironclad thing.

This is also the so-called informal meaning, that is, this first session, and even the next few sessions in the future, will still be like this, but it will slowly get better, and it will be stricter with some invigilators, in fact, that is, some invigilators.

With the strictness, this internal recommendation will slowly disappear, but will go to the real scientific examination.

"Boy, you really don't want to come into the palace to see me, why are you still here."

When Yang Qiao came to the palace, he was first ridiculed by Li Er, you hid for me, hidden, didn't you still be pulled by me.

"Why, I heard that you made that Li Xian your girl's protégé?"

"Shengshang, this, it's not all false, you see, those recommended ministers, which one of them really taught the people he recommended, so it's okay for me to let my girl be a teacher for him, besides, I don't have any grade, and I'm still an outsider, this doesn't make sense, isn't it!"

"Well, good, good, good, you have a point."

"However, I still have something to ask you, you said, how can the new tax department of the household department that I have newly established now be the chief official of the fourth grade, and your apprentice grandson, even if it is the apprentice grandson, let him be a tax secretary Zuo Langzhong, from the fifth grade of the official."

From the five pins, it seems, for newcomers, a little high!

"Why, do you think it's high, it's not high, it's the highest, some of it can reach the fourth grade, and that Li Xian, give a from the fifth grade, it's also considered medium, this is a talent, it can be seen from the article, whether it's the one he asked you to send it, or the article in the exam, no matter what, it's not very formal, according to the ideas of those old pedants, he won't use him, this is still my best opinion, naturally, there are also your things in it, they heard that it was your apprentice, that is, the person you recommended, and naturally let him go."

Naturally, I want to let go of a horse, which can be regarded as complementary interests, you know, Li Er is a goblin, this is released to say that the time for the scientific examination is relatively early, and it is relatively absolute, that is, don't recommend it.

The purpose is naturally to negotiate slowly, no, this admission is half, half.

This half, half, is naturally the recommended half, and the really good one, half of the selection, naturally, Li Er also has a meaning to compare, that is, whether this is recommended or obtained through the imperial examination.

However, in Yang Qiao's opinion, this kind of half-recommended and half-examination imperial examination may be the best, not the so-called scientific examination studied by the bricks and beasts is considered progress, then this scientific examination is considered progress, even if it is strict, it is not the same as cheating.

Especially in the later period, the name system and the volume copying system, sometimes I feel that it makes it easier for people to cheat.

And even what kind of public servant examination in later generations, how different is it from the scientific examination?

Therefore, at this time, Yang Qiao did not suggest that Li Er adopt any vague name system and copy the volume, but directly suggested that Li Er should use the printed style to write during the exam.

However, at this time, it is not called the printed type, but the standard block letter, or the official type, and is still waiting for Li Er and the Confucians to name it.

"Holy Lord, what do you think, how about selecting people for this examination?"

"Naturally, it's good, but I still haven't given up that recommendation, and if I completely abandon the recommendation, it should be the best, right?"

Sometimes, this Li Er is a little naïve, and some ideas are too perfect, but, in general, he is still more pragmatic, for example, in history, he has always wanted to deal with those families, but every time it is a small fight, just afraid that things will be too big, it will be a little too much, and it was not until later that the empress completed this task.

In fact, after several years of ancient life, Yang Qiao knew that their idea of suppressing any family should be a little too much.

In fact, destroying the old is just to let the new rise, as if this kind of thing can be established in any era, and even, the benefits are not necessarily more than the disadvantages.

For example, some old, good traditions will be lost, and even, some good technologies can be lost, like, some technologies, really lost like this.

For example, some of the advanced technologies of Daqin are gone, and even a little trace can only be seen in the archaeology of later generations.

"Saint, I think it's better to keep this so-called recommendation, but you can slowly increase the level of the recommender in the future, otherwise, any of these people's relatives and friends will also come through cheating."

"Well, this, I really haven't thought about it, but, this time, this thinking about people, it's really good, whether it's recommended or obtained, but, in general, this recommendation is better, it's just that their articles are a little bad."

Li Er was a little unwilling, this recommendation was actually poor.

"This, Shengshang, that's how I understand it, this recommendation, it must be better than your own test, maybe, now you can't see the difference, but, the number of times this test is more, it is not necessarily, what about the recommended person, naturally it is related to some official personnel, this shows that their family is also good, naturally, since childhood, there are many things to contact, this vision is more far-sighted, and what about the exam, now this person has more talents and it is easy to say, it is not easy to say, first of all, the cold door, Even lower than the poor people, not to mention knowledge, knowledge, is in books, but this vision, it's different, it is undeniable, there will be geniuses in it, whether it's political affairs or whatever, but how many geniuses are there, and I estimate, the most are those who are degenerate, you think, that dynasty is Tian Shelang, twilight to Tianzitang, one step to the sky, is it so good? ”

Is it so good, suddenly, Yang Qiao remembered the article in his previous life, Fan Jinzhongju, didn't he just say such a thing, and the opera, Chen Shimei, although it is not really a person, but it must be based on the facts.

This is the so-called vision, and even includes the moral god.

Naturally, there are also positive legends.

"Well, this is the case, there is also such a saying, wait and see what the result will be after a long time."

"Holy Lord, do you think this imperial examination will be held once every few years?"

"Once in a few years, now, there is such a shortage of talents, especially some old ministers have begun to leave us, so at this time, it should be the time when people are urgently needed."

Indeed, in the past few years, Li Er has been sad many times, especially the death of Du Ruhui, which made Li Er sad for a long time.

However, there are also things that Li Er is happy about, such as Qin Qiong, who has been on sick leave at home, but now that he has come out to work again, and he has also changed to a civilian position, he is doing a good job, which can be regarded as something that Li Er is happy about.

There is also a thorn in Li Er's heart that has been solved, that is, the problem of Li Chengqian's prince, if he is not the prince, it is difficult to take the position directly, Li Chengqian, but it is not Li Er's back then, that, Li Er's military exploits, but no one can compare, it is taken for granted, Li Er actually excluded Yang Qiao directly from the outside, as if Yang Qiao helped him, as if it should be.
