Throughout the North China Plain, Bianliang City was relatively lightly damaged.

Bianliang City has not had any chaos under the governance of Cheng Zhiyuan, the assassin of history, and the Huangchao rebel army did not pay attention to this city at all, and focused on attacking Luoyang and Chang'an, which are historical cities, and did not send heavy troops to garrison them after capturing Bianliang. So much so that the city that had been fought hard was recaptured by Shi Cheng Zhiyuan easily and happily. This is also the reason why Duan Mingyu is still able to make a fortune by doing some business.

But once the war burns, whether Duan Mingyu's little life can be saved is really a big question mark, let alone the realization of the great cause of making a fortune.

Looking for a backer? Under Yang Zhaoniang's inadvertent reminder. After all, the emperor's name is the largest, under the banner of the emperor, but now the emperor is still on his way back to Chang'an, and he doesn't know when he will be able to favor this lost champion.

Duan Mingyu sighed, but saw Xu Zuye rubbing his hands gently: "Hehe, Sister Zhaoniang, you know a lot about the imperial examination?"

"Laughing so obscenely, I didn't have any good ideas at first glance." Then he said triumphantly: "If there is anything I don't know about the imperial examination, I knew it when I was three years old."

Xu Zuye wiped a handful of sweat, does this chick have an enmity with me, it seems that she didn't offend her, why do you want to ridicule yourself everywhere? Lao Tzu drew a circle and cursed you, Duan Mingyu can be admitted to the top prize, why can't I. Forget it, don't worry about your little thing! After comforting his injured heart, Xu Zuye stepped forward with a smile: "How to take this scientific examination, is it difficult?"

"Ahem, you want to go too?" Duan Mingyu was almost choked to death, just this rough man, going to the scientific examination, in comparison, Duan Mingyu still felt that it was more reliable for the sow to go up the tree.

Yang Yanguang and Duan Mingyu glanced at each other suspiciously: "This person is not particular!"

After Yang Zhaoniang secretly said that she was unlucky, she still said slowly: "The imperial examination is divided into four stages, the Tongsheng Examination, the Township Examination, the Hui Examination and the Palace Examination.

Duan Mingyu smiled at Xu Zuye: "Old Xu, you can be regarded as asking the right person this time, we all came here like this." First of all, the children's examination, presided over by the school officials, or by the provincial school administration presided over the local imperial examination, the children's examination is divided into three small stages, the level from low to high is the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination. After passing the three exams, you can enter the county, state, and government respectively. And only after passing the three exams can the children's examination be completed, and the first place in the children's examination is called the head of the case. ”

Xu Zuye smacked his lips: "It's so fucking complicated, it's good that I didn't take the Laoshzi imperial examination!"

Duan Mingyu snorted, and finally talked about it once, but was interrupted by Xu Zuye, which was really a very unpleasant thing: "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you doing!"

Xu Zuye's old face turned red, as if he had drunk his daughter red for eighteen years.

Duan Mingyu saw Xu Zuye eating turtles, and was in a good mood: "After the Tongsheng test, you can carry out the township test, the township test is held every three years in the provincial capitals, because the time is held in autumn and August, so it is also called 'Qiuyu', the chief examiner is appointed by the emperor, and the main list is released after the examination, and the deputy list is unqualified. Juren has already obtained the preliminary qualifications to be officials. To continue the examination, you have to go to the triennial examination held in the capital, and the examination is held in the spring, so it is also called Chunqiu, and only the first 300 scholars are admitted to the examination, and the people who are admitted are called tributes, and the first place is called members. Next is the highest link in the imperial examination - the palace examination, the palace examination by the current emperor in the Jinluan Palace personally to the examination of the admitted tribute scholars, in order to determine the ranking. The admission is divided into three first, one and three, and the title of "Jinshi and first", the first is called Zhuangyuan, also called Dingyuan, the second is called Bangyan, the third is called Tanhua, and the people admitted to the first and second and third are called Jinshi. Lianzhong Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan are what we usually call "three yuan and first". ”

There were so many twists and turns, Xu Zuye complained in his heart, and his scalp began to tingle. I still want to let Duan Mingyu write a few splendid articles in advance, and then plagiarize, oh, no, it's a reference, yes, borrow dozens of hundreds of ancient poems, and it will be very rare if you don't want to be famous at that time. However, as soon as he heard Duan Mingyu's words, Xu Zuye's white face suddenly became much darker and blacker, and it was longer than a horse's face.

Seeing Xu Zuye's depressed expression, Duan Mingyu gloated and patted Xu Zuye's shoulder: "Brother Xu, how do you look at this imperial examination, do you have the confidence to make a champion casually and play in front of you, let's follow the champion!"

"You didn't mean to entertain me, if my old bones go to participate in this Rausch sub-scientific examination, let's not talk about whether I can pass the exam or not, just after ten years of hard study, I will be tired of the selection at all levels." Xu Zuye replied honestly, and at the same time handed Duan Mingyu a look that you are really not human, and you are really powerful.

Duan Mingyu despised this product: If you have the ability, you can take the test, girl, I guess you don't know how to mention it with a thick pen, you think the champion is a cabbage! There are only 300 scholars in the country who can go to take a look at the Jinluan Palace, and I am the only one who has reached this step in the ten-year cold window, which is many times more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations. Hype, the emperor Lao'er is purely hype.

"Don't hide it from Little Brother Duan, although the current imperial examination has given poor scholars a good platform, but there are still only a handful of scholars who were born in a poor family and are officials in the court, or even no, the national style is like this, if you want to make a difference in the court, it still depends on ......!" After Yang Yanguang finished speaking, he pointed to the sky knowingly, meaning "there are still people up there."

Yang Yanguang did not deceive Duan Mingyu, most of the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were like this, and a lonely person like Duan Mingyu actually got admitted to the top prize, which is really an outlier among the odds.

Duan Mingyu was like a balloon: "It's really no fun to be an official!"

If you don't become an official, how to protect yourself in the turbulent late Tang Dynasty in the future is a question worth pondering.

For example, now, Duan Mingyu's business is also worried. Because Bianliang City actually collects protection money, the underworld of the Tang Dynasty is really rampant! This made Duan Mingyu feel very speechless, and the leader of the protection fee had a name that made people smile bitterly - Zhang Baobao. Duan Mingyu jokingly called him "Zhang Baobao".

Zhang Baobao's name is cute, but the person is not so cute, and the protection fee is very high, and he has almost half of the profit of a businessman. How embarrassing is it to make people, how embarrassing is it!

Duan Mingyu wasn't worried that he would collect protection money, because every time Zhang Baobao came to collect protection money, Duan Mingyu and Xu Zuye would run away.

Duan Mingyu was worried about what to do if he couldn't escape, as the saying goes, if you walk at night for a long time, you will break into ghosts, maybe you will be caught one time, and the consequences will ......

Duan Mingyu gasped, the baby was very angry, and the consequences were serious. If you want to get rid of this big trouble, it is definitely not something that can be solved by blindly escaping, you must start from the root, either kill him or sleep with him.

The latter can only be a means used against the opposite sex, so ...... Duan Mingyu had already killed Zhang Baobao millions of times in his heart.
