"Judging from the current employment situation in various states and counties, 300 people are not enough...... Is it possible to lower the passing line to 70 points? Regarding this imperial examination, Lu Zhi still took the initiative to find Liu Tao and asked him.

300 people used to take the imperial examination, and it is good to have 100 people admitted. Three hundred people is not enough, let alone a hundred.

"No, the officials of this dynasty are naturally better to lack than to abuse." Liu Tao shook his head, "It used to be so hard, continue to work hard for a while, anyway, according to normal terms, there will still be a imperial examination in two years." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, it was originally planned that Xiucai could also be an official, but he could only be an official, not an official. There is a lack of officials in various places, so they will report the vacancies, and then send a list for the talents to sign up, and let the local people select the best to admit them. ”

There is nothing to choose the best, not counting the part of the jinshi and lifting people, and the hundreds of talents are not enough to divide the place.

Lu Zhi didn't dwell on this issue anymore when he heard this, the three hundred talents selected out of a thousand people, even if they didn't take the imperial examination, they did have some talents.

Being an official may not be qualified, but being a minor official is not a big problem.

Originally, it was also determined that Xiucai could also enter the government to serve, but unless it was a border county, it was estimated that it would not be an official. Moreover, at this stage, there will be more officials in the future, and it is estimated that a county magistrate or county magistrate on the other side of the border county will have to be promoted.

At the same time, becoming a local official can be regarded as entering the system. As long as you work hard and have excellent assessments, then there is still a certain probability that you can gradually become a county magistrate or a county magistrate.

The discussion of the imperial court has come to an end here, and through some internal channels, this news has naturally been disseminated, so that the people of the world can understand that Liu Tao attaches great importance to the imperial examination, and how high the gold content of the jinshi from the imperial examination is!

Just like later generations, Tsinghua University and Peking University are also college students, third-rate pheasant universities are also college students, and correspondence courses, night universities and electrical universities are also college students, but which one has a higher gold content is known to modern people.

It is useless to pursue quantity, and the focus is still on gold content. And what Liu Tao wants to shape is the concept of 'the imperial examination is the only way to heaven'. Let the squires, wealthy families and scholars all over the world stop having any unrealistic delusions.

The three-day imperial examination time is not short, but it is not short. For many people, the moment that determines the fate of their lives is in these three days.

Of course, they still have a chance in two years, but the older they get, the more difficult it is to be promoted, this is recognized. It was only in his thirties that he became a scholar of the county order through the imperial examination, and it is estimated that even if he retires, he will at most become a Taishou level.

The next thing is to wait, waiting for the days when the results are released, not to mention the candidates who took the scientific examination for the first time, even if they have participated in the scientific examination for the second time, many candidates are still very nervous and even more impatient.

The first time they fell off the list, it obviously brought a lot of shadows to their hearts. But if you can't get out of it for a lifetime, then it's probably going to be a big deal.

Many people in this world usually become scumbags in exams, so the issue of exam mentality has also attracted widespread attention in later generations. It's just that psychological counseling, even if Liu Tao crossed over, it was not completely perfect.

At least, most people are still very shy about mental health.

In modern times, Liu Tao can't be saved, even if he brushes a 'burning will' for candidates before the exam, it's useless. The problem of mentality is not something that magic can save, and who knows if they will still play out of shape because they are too high?

Even because it's too high, you can directly come to the examination room for a piece of performance art, whose responsibility will it be at that time? As a result, candidates were disqualified, or even permanently disqualified from the exam, and Liu Tao felt that he would probably feel a little guilty......

Finally came to the release day, still starting from the three lists. Like last time, except for the top 20 in the three lists, they are all lifted. The candidates have no objections, after all, one subject to the end.

Especially compared with the last time, the number of people from the same jinshi this time has obviously increased significantly.

Many people cautiously check their names, while others calmly wait for the second and first lists. They won't check it until the list comes out. Especially those who have participated in a scientific expedition, they are like this.

Even if you don't have yourself on the first and second lists, it's not bad to see yourself on the third list. It's better than looking forward to the front from the back to the front, and finally nothing at all, which is the real despair.

"Hit, hit!" As the first list began to be distributed, many people began to look at the list.

Those on the list were ecstatic, and those who were not on the list were not too disappointed. After all, I came to participate in the scientific examination this time, and I mixed up the identity of a showman. And outside the examination room, after the exam three days ago, a list has been posted, saying that even if you fall off the list, as long as you get the qualification of show, then you will have the opportunity to be ranked as officials in various states and counties.

Those who have this intention have basically signed up. Most people think that they can become a clerk first, accumulate experience through practice, and then participate in scientific examinations.

"Xu Yuanzhi is actually the top of the list?" Several scholars from Xiangyang couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the name of the first place on the first list.

That incognito fugitive, who was an auditor at Shuijing Academy, and when they were studying, the boy who was doing odd jobs on the side, actually won the top spot in the exam? No way, it's absolutely impossible!

Just confirmed the origin and name, Yingchuan Xu Shu (table character Yuan Zhi), there is indeed no mistake! Suddenly, I felt a little emotional, I looked away, so that I was by my side, and I didn't find it......

Fortunately, it is not without gains, Meng Jianyi ranked thirteenth on the list, and Jinshi was the first; Shi Tao and Cui Jun are in the top ten of the second list, and they are also Jinshi and No. 1; The Ma brothers, one is twenty-three on the first list, and one is thirty-five on the second list.

"Sister, you're on the list!" Lu Lingqi pointed to the list, the twenty-second place in the second list, and he was born as a Jinshi. With Huang Wudie's background, it is very rare to be able to pass this ranking.

"I'm just average, you're really powerful...... Huang Wudie pointed to the top list, and the seventh on the first list is Lu Lingqi's name.

"I ...... Hit? I'm in! Lu Lingqi looked at it, she was a little stunned at first, and then she suddenly became ecstatic.

"Since you are on the list, it means that you can participate in the palace examination. Maybe you can mix in the top three! Huang Wudie looked at Lu Lingqi enviously, she was only on the second list, but she was not qualified to participate in the palace examination.

"Hey, look at me!" Lu Lingqi said confidently that Huang Xu had privately revealed that there was a high probability of questions in the palace exam. She has also specially prepared for a while, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

The next day, the candidates who participated in the palace examination came to gather one after another. Unlike the last time, none of them left.

The imperial court has officially announced that those who dare to leave will not accept this person's imperial examination in this life. In other words, if you get the first list and dare to give up, don't expect to be an official in the Han court in this life.

The last batch left, do you regret it now? No one knows about this, and I'm going to regret it in the future anyway......

The assembled crowd waited for the carriage. Lu Lingqi sat in a group of male candidates as her daughter, naturally standing out from the crowd.

It's just that no one dares to laugh at her, after all, those who can be admitted to the Jinshi and the first rank are basically good in terms of knowledge and literacy. A few who are a little deficient, at least they know that this is the only daughter of General Zhenbei, so they naturally dare not provoke it.

The first time I saw the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, many people felt that they were young, and then there was a sense of affinity, which made people feel that they should be very comfortable under his command.

When the candidates took their seats one after another, Qian Fu also solemnly announced: "Now, the palace examination begins!" ”

What to test, Liu Tao of course hopes to follow the last time. However, the questions must not be the same, and many of the following are aware of the content of the last palace exam, at least there are channels to know some news.

So the topic of this palace exam is how to view Baiyun County. In order to let them know where Baiyun County was, Liu Tao had to send someone to take out the map and let them look at it.

Many people remembered that this should be the result of the expansion of the Han Dynasty's territory, as rumored outside. I just don't understand why I have to go to great lengths to get a piece of land outside the customs.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Baiyun County is rich in iron ore, I don't know if it?" Wang Chang asked.

"Yes, there is a lot of iron ore there, and we have already started sending people to mine there." Liu Tao nodded, it is estimated that not everyone knows about this matter, and for the sake of information reciprocity, he doesn't mind explaining it.

At the same time, it is also clear that Wang Chang also asked the question out of this consideration.

He can not say it, so everyone will be confused, and they don't even know how to solve the problem. He probably also wanted to compete with everyone on an equal footing, so he deliberately asked that question, right?

Of course, it is also possible that he knows that he may answer later, so he simply takes the lead in asking questions and brushing up his favor.

I have to say that it makes sense that this Wang Chang is a capable official and a hussar general in history...... Anyway, it's a waste if this guy doesn't go to the army.

Xu Shu and Wang Chang are like this, both civil and military, and the existence of Yunwen and Yunwu is difficult to arrange at this stage. After all, he advocated the separation of military and political affairs, and changed the former civil and military positions that could be held concurrently, but now they cannot.

Therefore, whether to be a civil official or a military general, it is up to them to decide!

With the news that Wang Chang 'set it out', everyone also knew how to solve the problem, gathered their understanding of the Han court, and wrote down their own views.

Time is two hours, so this is a test of writing speed and logical speed.

Until the end of the exam, Liu Tao had to take out the world map again, and it took half an hour to tell them the vastness of the world. At the same time, tell them that no matter what their ranking, from now on, they will be 'protégés of the Son of Heaven'.

This map of the world is the 'first lesson' that he, his 'teacher', taught them.

At the same time, it is also the only class......

The day after the completion of the palace examination, the yellow gate in the imperial court personally came to the inn where the candidates stayed and announced the results of the palace examination. Xu Shu is the champion, Wang Chang is the leader, Lu Lingqi is Tanhua, and Cui Lin is unfortunately ranked fourth.

This also means that since the imperial examination was held in the Han Dynasty, the first female tanhua was born!
