The palace examination, also known as the imperial examination or the court examination, refers to the examination written by the emperor himself, which is the person who really distinguishes the person who passes the examination.

Those who pass the examination will be divided into first, second, and third grades in the temple examination.

And the first is the top three, the champion, the list eye and the flower, is the Jinshi and the first. The second class is from the Jinshi, and the third class is from the same Jinshi.

The palace examination is a little more troublesome than the township examination, the general examination and others.

Because before the official start of the exam, you need to take some rituals such as roll call, scattering prayers, praising and bowing, and then you will start to issue the questions.

It's like defending a college student's graduation thesis.

The palace examination takes a whole day, and after the examination, the examination paper will be sealed, and when it is time to mark the paper, ten people will review it. There are five types of markers for auditing, of which the circle is the best.

Each examiner will look at these papers and draw five markers. It can be said to be the fairest way, more similar to the current referees, everyone gives their own score, and then sees who has the highest average score, who is the first place.

And this palace exam is like this, at the end of the marking, the ten test papers with the most circle marks will be selected and handed over to the emperor, who will approve them.

On the day of the palace test, Ye Mutian got up to eat before dawn, and then entered the palace. After a series of tedious etiquette, I got the solution.

This palace exam is a test question given by the emperor himself. The topic is: What is the technique to make the country rich and the people strong?

For this test question, it is not difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is simple, the problem lies in the scale.

From the perspective of Ye Mu, a modern person, if you want the country to be rich and the people strong, you have to increase productivity, and if you increase productivity, the country will be rich, and high productivity can also help the people at the bottom to be fed and clothed, so that the people will also be strong.

But in the flower planters, there has been a problem since ancient times, and that is the smallholder economy. The so-called small-scale peasant economy means that whether it is a big family, a landlord or a gentry, or a poor peasant, it is subdivided into individual units after all, with intensive farming, male cultivation and female weaving as the way, and self-sufficiency as the purpose of production.

The purpose of this kind of production is to pay taxes and eat enough. But the problem is land annexation! It stands to reason that the arable land in the early Tang Dynasty was enough to feed everyone, after all, the Tang Dynasty in this period had more than 300 million acres of heaven and earth.

However, due to the annexation of land, there are still people who do not have enough to eat. And when there are natural and man-made disasters, it is a large number of victims.

Therefore, the best way to make the country rich and the people strong is to solve the problem of small-scale peasant economy, increase productivity, and promote the development of science and technology. But in this era, to solve the small-scale peasant economy, not to mention that the common people don't believe you, those with vested interests also have to blush with you, and you have to rebel.

So of course Ye Mu's strategy can't be written like this, and if it can't be written like this, then it can only be done in a different way.

For example, open trade, make money through trade, attract ordinary people to participate in handicrafts and so on to make money. In this way, the productive forces have been increased in disguise, and the country's income has been raised, which can be regarded as a way to make the country rich and the people strong.

Ye Mu's answer is not very good, but it is also independent in this era. After finishing the draft in his heart, Ye Mu completed it in one go, and the strategy of less than 2,000 words was sprinkled, and it was written in less than half an hour.

However, on the way to Ye Mu's strategy, he inadvertently glanced at the place where the screen was placed on the side of the main hall.

Li Shimin, right behind there.

It turned out that since he noticed such a person as Ye Bai, Li Shimin planned to meet him in person.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity of the palace test, Li Shimin came here in his spare time. stopped Xiao Huangmen's loud roll call, and quietly entered the palace of the palace test.

"Shh~" Li Shimin rushed to the guards and examiners who were about to pay homage to him, and then quietly stood behind the screen.

"Your Majesty is here to proctolate the exam?" The invigilator asked quietly.

Li Shimin shook his head and said in a low voice: "I am tired of dealing with government affairs, and if I want to slow down, I will come here to have a look." ”

"Oh," the proctor nodded, not saying anything more.

"Which one is Ye Bai of Lianzhong Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan?" Li Shimin glanced through the gap in the screen to the examination room and asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, it's the one! The one in the dark robe and the silver crown, the one in the third row of the first row! Hearing the emperor's question, the invigilator hurriedly replied.

"Oh~" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully and looked at Ye Mu, his eyes full of thought and exploration.

At the moment when he retracted his gaze, Ye Mu glanced over here, but no one noticed.

If it weren't for the fact that Tianya Pavilion's intelligence system was very strong, Ye Mu probably wouldn't know that the emperor was investigating himself.

However, Ye Mu was not worried, because he did not plan to hide his identity all the time.

If it was before the demon chaos in Chang'an, he might have the ridiculous idea of concealing his identity and wearing a mask as an official for three years. But after experiencing the demon chaos in Chang'an, after he stayed in Chang'an for more than ten days as a master of Makino, he completely regretted it and dispelled his previous ridiculous thoughts.

It's okay to play espionage with yourself, it's really stupid, he definitely can't stand it, and he is free to live openly and honestly with his identity, that's the best thing.

Therefore, Ye Mu was also thinking about how to appear as a real identity before, it was naturally impossible to take the exam as Ye Mu, the time had been missed, and no matter how talented he was, it would be impossible for the country to hold the imperial examination for him again.

So he could only wait for a year, and after waiting for a year, Ye Mu didn't bother to wait.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin's Qianniuwei can find out the background of his Ye Bai's identity! Otherwise, solving this problem is not difficult for Ye Mu, although it is troublesome.

Knowing that the emperor checked himself, he understood that Li Shimin had already suspected his identity, but Ye Mu had achieved his goal.

Ignoring Li Shimin, Ye Mu finished writing the test paper by himself, then breathed a sigh of relief, lowered the test paper to the invigilator, and left the examination room under the invigilator's somewhat shocked and suspicious gaze.

Ye Mu's move, the people in the examination room were shocked, they were still thinking and just starting to write, but someone had already finished writing and paying.

There are those who admire, there are those who disdain, and there are those who do not care about themselves.

After leaving the examination room, Ye Mu couldn't leave the palace, and he had to wait for other candidates.

So Ye Mu couldn't move around at will after walking out of the examination room, after all, the palace was heavily guarded, and those who didn't have permission couldn't move around without a holy decree or token.

So Ye Mu looked left and right at the door, walked to the aisle on the side of the main hall, and saw that the railing of the Dao Rang was relatively wide and could allow people to sit, so you found a shady place to lie directly on it.

I woke up too early today, and it's okay anyway, so it's better to catch up on sleep.

The guards on the side saw that this candidate was so bold and dared to sleep in the palace, and their eyes widened in shock.

However, Ye Mu ignored them at all, and fell asleep with a wide heart and a fat body.

When it comes to Ye Mu's strength and realm, it is nothing to sleep in the city.
