Yang Zhi disguised himself as a gentleman from Chang'an City, and after handing over the guide, he excitedly entered Xincheng.

Compared with the prosperity of Chang'an City, Xincheng seems a little deserted, although there are shops and accommodation places on both sides of the street, but business is not good.

However, Yang Zhi looked at the city that was different from Chang'an, but he was extremely excited, and couldn't wait to take his guards to wander around the city.

For him who left Chang'an for the first time, everything was new, and without the constraints of Yang Hao and the rules and regulations of the palace, Yang Zhi showed his original nature as a child.

"Chu Xin! What do you think of this? ”

Yang Zhi's rattle shook and made a tinkling sound.

"The Great Prince!"

"Hmm!"

Yang Zhi frowned.

After Chu Xin reacted, he hurriedly changed his words: "Childe! With all due respect, this thing is a child's plaything, and it is incompatible with the identity of the son. ”

Yang Zhi was a little displeased when he heard this, since he can remember, he has been studying all day long, and he has never experienced a day of ordinary human life, rattle, he has also seen it in Chang'an City.

It's just that if he dares to play, Nujiao has to pull out a layer of skin from him.

Looking at the rattle in his hand, Yang Zhi angrily put it back on the stall.

He snorted lightly and said, "My son is tired, go find an inn!" ”

Chu smiled bitterly: "Yes! ”

The inn was widely distributed in Qi State, and was originally used as a place for officials to stop travel and rest, and later with the increase of Qi country's commercial and floating population, it slowly evolved into a civilian place.

However, the inn in Qi is a state-owned enterprise, and the income of the inn is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households.

This is the case with the inn where Yang Zhi stayed in Xincheng.

It's just that at this time, the inn gathered many young people of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Yang Zhiyi inquired and found out that these people were Jingzhou's candidates this year.

Yang Zhi calculated the time, and this year's imperial examination was less than two months away.

With the popularization of papermaking and printing, the education of Qi has made a qualitative leap.

Books have become a must-have in every school.

And the education system of Qi has also changed in these years.

From the chaotic mode of knowledge regardless of age or level of knowledge, it has evolved into a primary and intermediate model.

Only students who pass the secondary exam are eligible to participate in the final carp jumping dragon gate exam.

Yang Hao did this to prevent too many officials, after all, he advocated three years of compulsory education.

And these three years are just the beginning, if you want to go further, the rest is inseparable from perseverance and ability in addition to the talent of students.

The three years of primary school only laid some foundation for them to popularize knowledge.

Literacy and numeracy skills, as long as you are not a fool, three years will not be too bad.

Being able to be admitted to a secondary university is equivalent to half the chance of being able to enter the imperial examination army.

Of course, this does not mean that those who do not go to secondary institutions will not have access to the imperial examination.

There is no age limit for education in Qi State, and there is no status limit, that is to say, if a person is self-taught, he can pass the state government examination with the imperial examination money, and he can also join the imperial examination army.

Yang Hao felt that this was very humane, and it could recruit real talents for Qi to the greatest extent.

It's just that judging from the current situation, the people who participate in the imperial examination are still candidates from secondary universities.

Yang Hao is not surprised by this situation, Qi Guo has just been a man for more than ten years, and there is still a long way to go if he wants to appear a self-taught cattle man.

In the hall of the inn, the young candidates were enthusiastically exchanging their learning experiences, and there were some headaches.

In particular, the discussion of the classic problems that have appeared in the imperial examinations over the years is the object of discussion.

Yang Zhi ordered food casually and listened to the discussion of these candidates with interest.

Although Yang Zhi is young, he has received the best education since he was a child, and Yang Hao tutors one or two from time to time, which makes him have a high achievement in knowledge.

When he hears someone blushing and having a thick neck because of a certain question, he will smile smugly.

He didn't know how many times he had done these questions in the palace, he knew who was right and who was wrong just by listening to them.

For example, at this time, it is difficult to solve the questions of most candidates.

It takes five hours to fill a pool with water, and it takes eight hours to drain all the water. If I fill and drain water at the same time, how long will it take for the pool to be full?

This question is a certain year's imperial examination question, but they don't know that the reason why this question appears in this world is completely because of Yang Hao's full of bad taste.

In that year's imperial examination, only a very small number of candidates could give correct answers.

Yang Zhi knew that this was a one-dimensional equation problem, and there were two solutions to this problem.

One is to use equations, and the other is not to use equations.

After listening to their discussion for a long time, Yang Zhi, who was a young man, couldn't help but stand up because he couldn't say why.

"Guys, can you listen to me?"

The examinees in the hall were a little unhappy when they saw a little kid interrupting their train of thought.

One of the good-looking candidates said, "Why are you so rude, a young child? ”

Chu Xin, who was on the side, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was about to teach this person a lesson.

Yang Zhi coughed lightly and glanced at him.

Chu Xin had no choice but to give up when he saw this, but his eyes were still a little unkind to look at the man.

Everyone is not a person who can't see the situation clearly, just then they didn't notice a few big men around Yang Zhi, and when they saw it at this time, they knew that the identity of the little ghost in front of them might be extraordinary, and they suddenly felt less contempt.

Because there is quite an identity family in the Qi country, there must be an official body, and most of the official eunuchs have far better learning resources than those of these poor families.

"I don't know what this little brother is called, but he has his own opinion on this subject?"

A black-faced young man with a square scarf on his head arched his hand.

Yang Zhi looked at this person, and only felt that this guy didn't want to be a scholar, so much like a big man fighting in the army, even if he was a big man in the army, some of them were not as strong as the guy in front of him.

secretly said in his heart, it is a pity that this person does not go to be a soldier.

He arched his hand and said, "The younger brother's surname is Wang Ming'an!" I've just heard you talk about this topic, and I have some ideas. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Yang Zhi in surprise, revealing an unbelievable look.

Due to the lack of resources, it is difficult for most candidates to access the real examination questions of the past years.

It is only possible to see one or two in a large city like Xincheng, a state capital.

At this time, the learning atmosphere of Qi is much purer, and for most candidates, they may value a person's background, but what makes them value each other's knowledge is more.

Hearing that Yang Zhi could make this inverted question, the candidates didn't care about the age of the other party, nor did they care about Yang Zhi's possible noble status.

It's just because of knowledge that they regard Yang Zhi as a fellow practitioner.
