Two months passed in the blink of an eye. In the past two months, the 15 administrative provinces of Huaxia have been engaged in construction at a rapid pace.

The construction carried out by the fifteen administrative provinces, without exception, was all road construction.

There are also five administrative provinces, which are cooperating with the imperial court to build railways.

Because the governors of these fifteen administrative provinces are all from Datang.

Nature is well versed in the wise saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

If the road is not smooth, development is an empty word.

The road is smooth, and all aspects of work can be carried out calmly.

And now, in fact, the best time to go on a big construction scale.

Because whether it is in the east, in the south, or in the west, there are a large number of East Slavs who have been forcibly taken captive by the family alliance.

These people have just experienced the pain of war, the pain of losing their mood, and the pain of being displaced.

There is also the panic of changing owners.

Moreover, the Saga Alliance did not allocate much material to them.

It's just enough for them to survive.

In the future, they will not see a ray of light.

In this case, to engage in construction is to provide them with jobs.

The main thing is that in the Golden State, there is no shortage of food.

Although this year, the aborigines were chased by the family alliance step by step and were robbed of a lot of food.

But it can't stand the bumper harvest in Huaxia City, and there are countless grains in stock.

Even if this food is not enough, it doesn't matter, there is more food in Datang.

Since the introduction of peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes, and the beginning of double cropping or even triple cropping of rice in the south.

Datang's grain is now also flooded, and it can't be eaten at all.

If this continues, it will be the consequence of Gu Cheap hurting the people.

On the Golden State's side, because of the large increase in population, it happened to buy grain from Datang.

In this way, it did Datang a great favor.

With enough food, the rest of the matter will be solved.

There is no shortage of architectural talents in Huaxia City.

It doesn't matter if it's lacking, Datang has such talents, and they can be hired at will with high salaries.

At present, Datang has once again risen a boom in going abroad to work.

The development of Datang has entered a bottleneck period.

Instead of growing, the economy is showing signs of recession.

This is actually normal.

Every country may have a period of rapid economic development.

But this momentum is certainly not possible to maintain indefinitely.

And Datang is at such a juncture.

Many people in Datang are facing the threat of unemployment.

And now at this time, the Golden State has opened the door of convenience and recruited workers again.

And the salary is at least three times that of Datang.

With three times the salary, you can still travel abroad, why not?

This move can also alleviate Datang's employment problem.

It can also solve the problem of labor shortage in the Golden State, which can be said to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

With the addition of these talents, the speed of construction is bound to be greatly accelerated.

Cement factories have sprung up in the southern part of the Golden State.

Everywhere they were collecting raw materials, firing cement, digging foundations, and building roads.

The construction of roads has also played a great role in stabilizing the people's minds.

For those Eastern Slavs, they did not see a glimmer of hope for their future life.

But as soon as the construction is carried out, they will have stable jobs and a fixed income.

Their daily workload is not hard.

These Eastern Slavs, all physically, are very strong.

And the work on the construction site is very humane and will not make them too tired.

The working hours are about ten hours a day.

Every day's food made these Eastern Slavs full of praise.

They had never eaten such delicious food before.

In their opinion, this is the best food.

After working on the construction site for more than ten days and half a month, they found that they had fallen in love with this kind of life.

They were paid twenty dollars a day.

With this money, you can buy almost ten catties of rice.

This rice is almost enough for them to eat for ten days.

This salary surprised them.

When they were in their hometowns, they had never seen such high wages.

Through all kinds of comparisons, they felt that this place was better than their hometown of East Slavia.

The climate here is more suitable, and the land here is more fertile.

The wages here are higher and the food is better.

Although there are still some things that they can't adapt to, on the whole, they have settled down.

Because life is bright and hopeful for them all at once.

As for Li Su, in fact, the financial contribution of the entire country is not too much.

Although so many people need to pay a huge wage, it seems that the consumption is very large.

But with so much wages, you only need to print more banknotes.

Of course, it can't be printed indiscriminately.

If you print indiscriminately, it will cause inflation.

And these people have created a lot of wealth.

Li Su used the value they created to print banknotes.

For the vast majority of the people, the most urgent need for them is still food.

As long as there is enough food, the people will not panic.

As for commodities, it is really not a problem for China Commercial Firms.

Over the years, they have made too many goods.

There are also some backlogged items that can now be taken out for sale.

The roads of the entire Huaxia country and various administrative provinces are being built little by little.

The lives of the people are also getting better day by day.

They have a lot of daily necessities in their home.

They also put on new clothes.

In just two months, the entire Huaxia Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes.

If you leave your hometown two months ago and come back two months later, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the appearance of your hometown.

Two months later, Huaxia officially began the exam for the first time.

First of all, it is selected by examination in each province.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the Huaxia Kingdom has just been established, and there was no talent reserve at all before.

At present, this is the only way to make selections.

In the end, the candidates selected from each province will enter Huaxia City for a unified examination.

As long as they pass the exam, they will be assigned to various places as officials according to their ranking.

Since then, a national examination has been held every year.

Candidates who pass the exam will be arranged in a unified manner at that time.

Of course, at that time, it is not necessary to be all officials.

After all, as time goes by, there may not be so many positions.

But you can work as a civil servant in a government department, or as an official in a state-owned factory.

When the time comes, for ordinary people, it will be the same iron rice bowl.

At present, the salaries of civil servants in Huaxia are very high.

At least three to five times the wages of the average worker.

This is, of course, to create an image.

As long as you pass the exam, you will have a high income immediately.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

The other is that the salary is high.

I've already paid such a high salary, and if you want to be corrupt again, then you're welcome to blame me.

On this day, it is the eighth day of the first month of September, and the autumn is high and cool, and the temperature is suitable.

On this day, it happened to be the day when Huaxia Guoenke started the first round of screening in the fifteen administrative provinces.

Because it is the first imperial examination in Huaxia, there are currently many positions lacking in Huaxia.

This time, it is estimated that it is the easiest class of test questions.

It is also the class with the highest acceptance rate, and it is also the class with the highest official position that can be assigned after admission.

This is because there is a shortage of officials in the 15 administrative provinces, at the provincial and municipal levels.

The candidates who stand out in this batch of exams will inevitably be assigned to the provincial and municipal levels.

In the future, I am afraid that this kind of opportunity will never come again.

Therefore, soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, an order was issued again to carry out Enko.

Applicants, gathered.

This time, the opportunity is just too good.

Countless people want to be opportunistic.

There are even some people who have just learned to write their names to register for the exam.

As a result, in various administrative provinces, the number of applicants is overcrowded.

There are more than 100,000 applicants.

This may not seem like a lot.

But you know, how many people are there in each administrative province?

In each administrative province, I am afraid that there are only one or two million people at most.

The most important thing is that more than half of the population of these people are Eastern Slavs and indigenous peoples.

The vast majority of these people are able to understand Chinese and have a simple conversation in Chinese.

It can be said that the number of people who can write Chinese characters will definitely not reach more than 100,000.

In this, too many people are indiscriminate.

The most crucial point is that every administrative province has just been built.

There is no such big examination room at all, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people to take the exam together.

Well, don't say that Huaxia is gone.

Even if it's Datang, there is no such a big examination room.

With such a large number of people, there is definitely no way to take the exam.

In order to screen the number of people downward, each administrative province has to divide the city into districts and conduct a pre-examination assessment of candidates.

Then, the urban area takes the county and township as the unit, and the candidates who sign up will be tested for their advanced nature.

This time, the exam was extremely simple.

Even, I didn't take the Four Books and Five Classics.

Later, Li Su was not prepared to take the Four Books and Five Classics as the main content of the exam.

Of course, the Four Books and the Five Classics must be examined.

After all, this is a classic among the classics of this era.

However, the proportion of the Four Books and the Five Classics will be much, much lower.

At most, it occupies a ratio of about 10%.

This time, there is a part of the simple mathematical equation, and the other is to write an essay of a few hundred words in Chinese characters.

It's not really an exam, it's just a screening.

It is only necessary to require these candidates to be able to write fluently in Chinese characters to pass.

In addition, the Chinese characters written can be traditional Chinese characters used in the Tang Dynasty.

You can also use simplified Chinese characters that have been circulated in Huaxia City.

Both fonts, no matter which one you use, are fine.

But it is such a simple screening, but it is nine out of ten candidates.

Many candidates write their names crookedly and illegible.

At first glance, it has only been a few days since I learned it.

Other Chinese characters, whether traditional or simplified, cannot even be written.

Such candidates, undoubtedly, have been brushed off.

More often than not, they can write a few Chinese characters, but the number is very small.

Not to mention writing a well-flowing article.

As for math questions, although it is only a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, it also screens out a large number of candidates.

After this preliminary examination, there were only about 1,000 people left in each administrative province.

There are several administrative provinces, and the number of people remaining is less than 1,000.

It's not really an exam, it's just a simple screening.

Of course, the number of people in Huaxia City is the largest.

In one city of Huaxia City, there are nearly 10,000 people left.

There is no way, in Huaxia City, the Tang people are the most, about ten or two hundred thousand people.

And one in ten of these Tang people are literate and hyphenated.

What's more, Huaxia University is located in Huaxia City.

Students who graduated from Huaxia University are naturally impossible to be screened out in the first screening.

The number of candidates in Huaxia City is still very large.

There is no examination room for tens of thousands of people at one time.

However, when the time comes, it can be divided into several examination rooms.

On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, the first exam of Enke officially began.

This exam is divided into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

In addition, after the morning exam, you can leave the exam room to go out to eat, which is very humane.

The Chinese test in the morning, well, should be called Chinese studies.

This Chinese culture is divided into fill-in-the-blank questions and essay questions.

Fill-in-the-blank questions, mainly some questions of the Four Books and Five Classics, are not very difficult, and they do not choose particularly remote knowledge points to assess.

Again, the focus is on essay questions.

The topic of the essay is to talk about the future development ideas according to the current situation of Huaxia.

This topic was personally proposed by Li Su.

This kind of composition is not just about literary style.

In other words, the style is just a plus, but it is not the most important.

The most important thing is to look at the development ideas.

What Li Su wants to select is a talent who can serve as an official for one term and benefit one party.

It's not about being a talented person.

A talented person may not be able to be a good official.

Of course, the future exam will not be so simple.

This is also because the country has just been founded, and the talent has not yet been cultivated.

The questions on the exam are still very simple.

But simple questions are not easy to brilliant.

Because of such a simple question, everyone can write one, two, three.

But if you want to get the attention and attention of the examiner, and if you want to get a high score, you have to find another way.

The afternoon exam is a math test, and the questions are quite simple.

Not to mention advanced mathematics such as calculus, even high school knowledge such as functions and parabolas are not designed.

It's just some simple calculations, field measurement, and harvest problems.

The income and expenditure of the people of a city, and other practical problems have evolved from the application of the problem.

This time, the topic is really very simple.

There were fewer than 30,000 candidates for this exam.

Li Su decided to admit about half of the number.

There is no way, there are too many bad official positions now.
