Luoyang.

Shangyuan Festival.

This year's Luoyang Shangyuan Festival is particularly lively, and the wars in Anxi, Xishan, Lingnan, and Andong are not large-scale, but they are frequent.

So the Holy Son of Heaven issued an edict, this year's Shangyuan Festival in Luoyang City, Jin Wu couldn't help it, had a three-day holiday, and hung the lantern Zhang Cai to celebrate.

At the same time, the Luoyang Mansion also officially issued an edict, after the Shangyuan Festival, Luoyang City should also be like Chang'an City, to remove the wall, only keep the doors. After the original square street wall is demolished, it will be changed into street shops, and Luoyang Mansion will be planned in a unified manner, and each square will be planned into different markets.

In the past year, the pilot operation of Chang'an Street Market has rapidly led to the restoration of prosperity in Chang'an City, with excellent results, promoting industrial and commercial changes, enhancing the prosperity of the city, facilitating the lives of the people, and increasing the city's tax rent.

The officials who had opposed the demolition of the wall and the establishment of a street market in every possible way before all kept their mouths shut in the face of the facts, and no one objected to it. After all, no matter how much you oppose eloquence, you will be pale in the face of facts.

And after this year's Lantern Festival, it will be the first national imperial examination in Daqin, and how many scholars from all over the world will come. Not only the people who were admitted from all walks of life came, but many students with a little conditions, even if they were not qualified to participate in the Ministry of Rites Examination for Jinshi, they also wanted to come to Luoyang City to take a look, after all, this year is the first year.

In the first imperial examination this year, the acceptance rate was extremely low and it was very difficult to get in. Because there are too many applicants at all levels, after the imperial court relaxed the scope of registration conditions for the exam, the county-level children's exam, that is really a little literate and has read books want to take the test, anyway, the registration fee does not need money, as long as the conditions are met, and then find someone to guarantee it, the candidates eat and live in the Gongyuan, and the paper and pencil for the examination are also provided by the Gongyuan.

If you pass the Tongsheng exam, it will also be a fame.

As a result, in many county examinations, hundreds of people in one county have registered for the examination, and in such big cities as Luoyang, Chang'an, Guangling, and even thousands of people in one county have registered for the examination, such as the county examination in Luoyang Prefecture, there are more than 5,000 people participating in the record-breaking examination, which can be described as the best in the world.

The imperial court has no quota limit for the county children's examination, as long as the results are excellent, they can be admitted, but for the county Xiucai examination, there is a strict quota limit, first of all, it is stipulated that a county can take a maximum of 200 talents, and the maximum admission ratio of talents is 30 to 1. There are more than 200 counties in the country, and the highest can record more than 40,000 talents at a time.

This means that the maximum number of children that can be referred to in a county is 6,000, and the maximum number of 6,000 students is 200.

If there are more than 6,000 children in a county, then there will be an additional qualification test, and the first exam will eliminate some of them, and only 6,000 people will be given the qualification for the Xiucai examination.

Xiucai was admitted to the exam, and he went to Daocheng to take the exam, what is the acceptance rate?

There are more than 20 Dao in Daqin, each of which has about 100 people, and the acceptance rate is 20 to 1, so only 2,000 people are allowed to participate in the Daoju test, and the last one is a maximum of 100 people.

More than 20 provinces across the country, and finally admitted more than 2,000 people to Luoyang to participate in the Jinshi examination of the Ministry of Rites, and the admission rate of Jinshi was ten to one, and more than 200 people were admitted.

Therefore, in the examinations of Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi, the acceptance rate of Xiucai is the lowest, so people at the time called it Jin Xiucai, Silver Juren, and Bronze Jinshi, but if you want to be admitted to Jinshi, you have to pass three levels and kill six generals first.

More than 2,000 people across the country have taken the Beijing examination, and there are many who have followed to accompany the examination and send the examination, and there are many who have not been admitted to the examination, and they have also come to see the excitement of the entrance examination.

Because of a imperial examination, nearly 10,000 people poured into Luoyang City.

Not to mention, there are countless more Hu businessmen in Luoyang this year. In particular, there are more Hu people from the Western Regions, and they have brought more gifts this year.

Not long after the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, the envoys of the various Tibetan provinces had not left, but a larger delegation came, or they had just set off all the way a year ago, and they brought more tribute gifts, and many of the Tibetan envoys also sent their own princesses directly.

The Battle of Qiuzi at the end of last year had too much impact on the entire Western Regions.

More than 200,000 people of Rats were completely wiped out, and hundreds of thousands of people were sold into slavery by the whole country, which made many kings and chiefs unable to sleep.

Especially after Cheng Yanjin left and sent skulls and wine vessels to various countries, they couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. What to do, I can only hug Da Qin's legs.

Repairing the post station to build a beacon fort and building a military city, that is, asking people to give money to people, and the imperial court sent additional patrol horses, and they paid money to share the military expenses without saying a word.

But I'm still afraid.

Especially when they saw the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, which was rapidly deploying and increasing, going back and forth in front of their own door, they couldn't sleep even more.

I had no choice but to give more gifts to the three envoys of Anxi, and another generous gift to the Great Qin Emperor of Luoyang, and even sent the princesses here, but I didn't care about the dignity of the princesses, and galloped all the way, making the princesses haggard.

But after all, I still rushed to Luoyang, even if I missed the New Year's New Year's Day court, I couldn't take care of it.

A congratulatory sheet was delivered.

A long list of tributes was delivered.

Among these envoys, there was one envoy with a sad face, he was an envoy from the Xueyantuo Khanate in Mobei, and on the order of the Khan of Ni, he drove 10,000 horses, 50,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep to Lingwu a year ago.

However, the weather was too cold, there was nothing to eat along the way, and the time was urgent, so the cattle and sheep were forced to drive south. There was a snowstorm on the way, which was unlucky.

As a result, the livestock died all the way, and countless people died of cold and starvation.

By the time Lingwu handed over, there were only more than 5,000 horses left, more than 3,000 cattle, and less than 50,000 sheep.

Originally, before he set off, Ni Yu specially prepared 1,000 horses, 2,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep, which he gave with gritted teeth.

It's just that I'm worried about a little loss on the road, and I won't be able to count it when the time comes.

But who knows, adding so much, the result is not worth more deaths on the road.

When I arrived at Lingwu, sure enough, I refused to accept it.

Although he explained in every possible way that after the desert, the cattle, horses and sheep began to freeze and starve to death, and he also handed over the cattle, sheep and horses that had just frozen and starved to death to the local Qin Dynasty government along the way, such as Wuchuan County, Wuyuan County and so on.

It is a pity that the emperor's envoys of Lingwu refused to accept his words and refused to accept these courtesies.

The messenger had to rush all the way to Luoyang.

But now the imperial court is directly refusing to accept Xue Yantuo's rudeness.

The envoys were about to cry, and now this errand was smashed in their hands, and when they set off from Mobei, they took 11,000 horses, 52,000 cattle, and 110,000 sheep, but now only half of them are left, and the Qin people refuse to ask for them.

The errand could not be completed, and the gift could not be handed over to the Qin people, and now the emperor of Great Qin is said to be very unhappy, saying that Ni Yu is disrespectful to Great Qin, and that the Great Khan of Yi Nan is also very angry now.

It is said that Yi Nandu is going to re-select a new uncle to pass on the throne of the Great Khan, and to choose a person who has great respect for the Great Qin to inherit the throne of the Great Khan.

The officials of Honglu Temple asked him to go back to Mobei and convey the words of the Great Qin Emperor and the Great Khan of Yinan, but how dare the envoy go back like this. If he goes back like this, the mud khan will not be able to devour him alive.

In order to make up enough for those cattle, horses and sheep, the mud has been forced to complain, if the matter is not done now, and he can't be a big sweat, how will the mud be willing?
