After Huang Zhiyuan carefully read the notice, he knew that because of the tight time, the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination were held together, and the inspector sent by the Ministry of Rites directly presided over the examination.

New students and former Ming students can participate in the provincial and township examinations, and the middle ones will be promoted.

Those who are newly examined and those who are raised by the former Ming can participate in the examination, and the middle one is the tribute, and the tribute is the palace examination, and the middle one is the jinshi.

The process is almost the same as the traditional imperial examination, the only difference is that the county, government, and hospital examinations have been merged because of time constraints, but this is because of the time constraints, which is understandable to many people.

After all, the four major examinations of the traditional imperial examination are actually the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, and the prefectural examination and the county examination are actually just a preliminary selection process, because only by passing the academy examination can you obtain the fame of the student and become a showman.

And this point of the Tang Dynasty is extremely enke, because the time is in a hurry, so not only the county test, the government test and the hospital test are combined, but also the time of the hospital test and the township test are connected.

Even if it is a general exam, the interval between the township test and the township test is very short, so if you want to participate in this Dengji Enko, the time is actually very tight.

Secondly, the content of this examination is also somewhat different from the traditional imperial examination, although it is still in accordance with the format of the eight-strand article, but the focus has changed again, the first day of the examination of the four books and five classics, the second day of the examination of policy theory, historical theory, the third day is the examination of arithmetic, miscellaneous studies

It is worth mentioning that on the third day, the arithmetic test is compulsory, and the miscellaneous science is optional, the examiner will give the most basic astronomy and geography, physics, chemistry and mechanical questions, etc., candidates can choose the question at will, and indicate, as long as one answer is enough.

At the same time, the two fields of policy and historical theory are not required to answer questions in a strict eight-strand article format, and you can speak freely in any format, but you must have something to say, otherwise it is zero eggs.

This change in the mode of imperial examination is also an exploration of Li Xuan's reform of the traditional imperial examination, and it is naturally impossible to completely abolish the imperial examination, and the facts have proved that the Chinese cannot do without the imperial examination.

Whether it is the traditional imperial examination in ancient times or the national examination of later generations, in fact, the essence is the same, to put it mildly, it is to select materials for the country, and to put it bluntly, it is to win over the most elite groups in society, let them become members of the ruling class, and avoid these elites from being left out of the world and thinking of rebellion when there is nothing to do.

Therefore, the imperial examination is necessary, whether in the name of the traditional imperial examination or in the name of selecting civil servants.

However, the content of the imperial examination can be changed slowly, and the Four Books and Five Classics will naturally not be abolished for a while, not only can they not be abolished, but they must continue to be the most important subjects, but they can be added to the relevant examination questions such as history, policy theory, and arithmetic.

This means that candidates must not only be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, be able to write beautiful eight-strand articles, but also have profound knowledge, which does not refer to arithmetic, physics and chemistry, in fact, these are not the key, the focus is on policy and historical theory, this kind of question requires candidates to be knowledgeable and have great political wisdom to be able to answer.

As long as these two exams are good, then at least theoretically, this candidate already has the basic qualities of being an official.

The slight change in the content of the imperial examination actually did not cause Huang Zhiyuan to feel too much, after all, is the Tang Dynasty a new dynasty, and the content of the imperial examination should have changed, which really surprised him, and let him enter the yamen of the Tang Dynasty official mansion, but the notice said that all the scholars who are in the middle test can be awarded on the spot.

And it is written in black and white, the heart of the country, the urgent need for talents, Dengji Enke pilot test will be rewarded from the best: the new students are awarded the eighth grade of the real official, the new branch of the person is awarded the seventh grade of the official body, the first class of the new branch of the scholar is awarded the first rank of the scholar and the first, awarded from the fifth grade of the official body, the second class of the Jinshi origin, the sixth grade of the official body, the third class of the same Jinshi origin, awarded from the sixth grade of the official body.

It is natural for a jinshi to be awarded an officer, but the students and promoters of the new department are directly awarded officers, which is beyond the expectations of many people.

And this measure is actually nothing for the Tang Dynasty, because now the Tang Dynasty is really thirsty for talent, not to mention formal readers, even if people who can read words come over, they can directly enter the officialdom and become a clerk.

Although it is said that the current Tang Dynasty has gone on the right track, there is no such thing as a random Xiucai who can serve as Wupin Langzhong, but if there is a Xiucai of the former Ming Dynasty who takes the initiative to serve, the most important thing is from the official position of the eighth grade, and from the eighth grade, in the official system of the Tang Dynasty, is basically corresponding to the section chiefs under the county yamen.

If it is the predecessor of the Ming Dynasty to vote, if nothing else, it is basically awarded to start from the official body of the seventh grade, and there are several who have been awarded the county order.

As for the Jinshi, I'm very embarrassed, for the time being, no Jinshi took the initiative to vote, there were a lot of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, and after these degraded officials surrendered, they were naturally promoted step by step, basically they were able to rise to a higher level in their original positions, and there were several prefects.

And if you are admitted to the new students of the Tang Dynasty, even if you are not admitted to the lifting of people in the future, you can still get the official body of the eighth grade, you have to know that the county officials in the Tang Dynasty are only the eighth grade.

Of course, there are quite a lot of positive eight positions in the Tang Dynasty, and the county is only one of the more important ones, and there are some less important positions that are also positive eight products.

But with the grade, it will be much easier to rise to the rank in the future.

And the new imperial examination people can be awarded the official body of the seventh grade, which is quite shocking for many people, the seventh grade is the grade of the county order, and a county parent official, under the rule of tens of thousands or even more than ten people, what a majesty, and this grade is generally only available to the new branch jinshi.

But in this Dengji Enkori, as long as you pass the exam, you will be able to become an official of the seventh grade.

Not to mention that after passing the Jinshi examination, he can be awarded the fifth or even sixth rank of high-ranking officials.

These are shocking to many scholars, what are they studying for all their lives? Just to be an official!

As for being an official of the Zhu dynasty or being an official of the Li dynasty, in fact, there is not much difference.

These scholars in later generations even served as officials of wild boar skins, not to mention the puppet Tang Dynasty and these mere thieves.

Opening the imperial examination, this trick is almost invincible to recruit the scholar class, of course, the premise is not stupid that even the world has not been defeated, just play the destruction of the Confucian Temple, if you have to do this kind of thing, wait until you have conquered the world and then play.

In the early stage, it is still necessary to win over, after all, unite all the forces that can be united, first cross the river and then say, wait for the river to cross the bridge, how to draw the bridge, that is not a matter of words.

Huang Zhiyuan and a few other people went to sign up after reading the notice, and when he came out, he looked at the admission document in his hand, and still felt that it was a little untrue.

In the end, he shook his head and just stopped thinking about it!

His family is just ordinary country people, he has been studying for so many years, in order to take the imperial examination and then become an official, and now he has the opportunity to put it in front of him, although this pseudo-Tang Dynasty, no, the Tang Dynasty looks a little unreliable, but Xu Hanshi is right, the Tang Dynasty is also a traditional dynasty, and it is almost impossible to find fault with the etiquette system, and it has more than 100,000 soldiers, three provinces, and it is still in the southwest and other regions.

In the future, even if it cannot overthrow the puppet Ming and unify the land of China, there is still a great possibility that it will become a local separatist regime that is partial to one side.

Therefore, although there are some risks in being an official in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of risk is nothing compared to the benefits.

However, in order to arouse the worry of his family, and even more so to avoid the scolding of those classmates who were hostile to the pseudo-Tang, he did not inform others about the fact that he had signed up for the exam, but only told Xu Hanshi, and planned to stay at Xu Hanshi's house in the next few days and during the exam.

On the same day, he returned home and told his family that he was going to live in a friend's house in Fucheng for a few days, and that it was common for scholars to travel to study, and his family did not think it was strange.

The next day, he took his bookcase to Xunzhou Mansion again, and settled on his friend Xu Hanshi's Mansion, both of whom were going to take the exam, so they were discussing how to take the exam almost all day, especially the strategy, history, miscellaneous studies, and arithmetic in it.

The next day, they learned the news that the inspector of the Ministry of Officials who came to Xunzhou Mansion to invigilate the examination had arrived in Xunzhou Mansion and was about to start the examination in the near future.

In the past few days, they have been immersed in hard work, striving to achieve good results in the examination and win the fame of the students.

After the preparations were made, the college examination in Xunzhou Mansion also began to last for three days in a high-profile manner!

On the first day of the exam, Huang Zhiyuan just glanced at the topic, and after a little thought, he began to write a draft, he is also a relatively famous student in the neighborhood, this ordinary eight-strand article is not difficult for him, and after a piece of article is written, he feels quite satisfied, as for being able to get the favor of the examiner, there are more factors involved here, mainly the examiner's preference.

But he absolutely didn't know that before the departure of these inspectors who went to Guizhou and Guangxi to preside over the examinations, Li Xuan personally lectured them, although he did not say it explicitly, but the meaning was very obvious, that is, the level of the Four Books and Five Classics can only be used as a reference, and the ranking is not determined, and the specific ranking is determined by policy and historical theory.

In the case of arithmetic and miscellaneous studies, the grades are calculated separately, and those with excellent grades are listed separately, and these people are brought to Zhaoqing as much as possible according to the principle of voluntariness, because there will be a doctoral course waiting for them at that time, and those who are not selected can be admitted to Guozijian.

It's a pity that these examiners and even the candidates don't know that what Li Xuan values most is actually the seemingly dispensable two subjects of arithmetic and miscellaneous science, once there are good seedlings in it, Li Xuan plans to cultivate it personally, and the bright future of these scholars who have been personally trained by Li Xuan is already self-evident.
