And Chen Mo is preparing for the exam.

After half a month of renovation, the examination room was gradually improved.

The area is huge, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to take the exam.

At this time, a large number of scholars gathered outside the examination hall, and these people all passed the township examination, and then came here to participate in the main examination, more than 10,000 people, all gathered outside the examination room at this time.

More than 10,000 students gathered outside the examination hall, and the atmosphere became warm for a while, and there was an elegant style everywhere.

Everyone talked freely about their dreams of their home and country, and the country was safe and secure, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

For the safety of the exam, Chen Mo also specially sent 5,000 Chen Mojun to maintain order outside the examination room, and at the same time sent 1,000 Mojia soldiers to be responsible for the order in the examination room and assist in the exam.

Chen Mo looked at the crowds outside the examination room, crowded with people, but the order was very good.

The soldiers are five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry, maintaining discipline outside the examination room.

At the end of the day, with a loud bell, the first imperial examination under Chen Mojun began, and it was renovated at the same time.

Inspection posts are arranged on both sides of each gate, and they are looking forward to successfully completing the inspection tasks and ensuring that the candidates enter the venue on time.

Candidates for this exam are not allowed to bring the four treasures of the study, all of which are provided by the examination institute to prevent cheating.

The first task of the inspection is to verify the identity, and these candidates have all passed the preliminary examination, so everyone has a document that passed the preliminary examination, stamped with a seal, plus their identity tag, and the examination certificate of the main examination, all need to be checked in detail.

At the same time, the examinee's body will be checked, mainly to check whether there are any items with words, and after these checks are completed, the examinee can enter the venue.

The admission tickets of these candidates are clearly marked with the location and seat number of their examination room, and there are also obvious signs in the examination room, so that candidates can easily find their examination room and seat.

For this examination, Chen Xingyu invited the best pastry chef in Chang'an City to prepare pastries for this imperial examination.

There was some confusion and panic at the beginning, but gradually the calm in the examination hall was restored, and the candidates also entered their exam seats one after another, so only Chen Mojun's guards and examination personnel were left walking around in the examination room.

The candidates are in a small room in the pigeon cage test, after entering the exam seat, you can no longer come out to walk around, at the same time the Chen Mojun guards around will also verify the identity of the candidates again, they are on the front wall of the pigeon cage will paste a candidate's identity and exam text, the guards can check each candidate through here.

As for the examinee who has something to do, or a personal problem that needs to be solved, he can directly signal to the guards around him, and then be accompanied by the guards.

With an hour of preparation, all the 4,000 candidates have entered, and at this time, the opening has all returned to quiet, and as far as the eye can see, the neat barracks is divided into six areas.

The five areas are all neat and clean pigeon cages, which are also the examination areas for candidates, and these five areas also represent different exam contents, including Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingsuan, and Mingzi.

After passing the preliminary examination, candidates will be issued an official admission ticket, and they will also be required to fill in a subject for the official examination, that is, which subject the candidate wants to take the exam, and can only choose one subject.

The test questions of the preliminary examination are the same, there is no distinction, mainly to examine the basic knowledge of the candidates, but also on the selection of a cultural level, so there are many candidates who have passed the preliminary examination, until the main examination, it is a professional examination.

After the candidates fill in the form, the number of people who will take the test for each subject is also determined, so you can prepare the examination room and seats.

So the five examination areas are clearly divided, and when designing these pigeon cages, they can be disassembled and moved, so they can be adjusted and moved, so that each examination room is exactly the right number, not one more, not one less.

In these five examination areas, it can be seen at a glance that the number of references to the Jinshi Department is the largest, and there are also many Ming Jing subjects. This is also expected, because the literati of this era attach great importance to Jinshi and Mingjing, and at the same time surprisingly there is also the Ming Law Department, originally everyone thought that there would not be too many people in the Ming Law Department, but I don't know why, at this time, it turned out to be about the same number as the Jinshi Branch, and the number of Ming Calculation and Ming Characters is much less.

At the same time, at the front of the five examination rooms, there is also an area, that is, the area of the examination staff, where there is a small courtyard, which is where the questioner is located.

At this time, Zhu Sheng, who was in charge of the questions, had already spent half a month in the examination institute, and he had just come out at this time, and there were two great sages, Ye Chen and Zhang Yi, along with him.

After all the candidates were stationed, the three were also allowed to walk out of the small courtyard, and then began to prepare for the exam.

First of all, the chief examiner, that is, Zhu Sheng, the author of the question, led all the students to a spacious school field to hold a simple worship ceremony.

Everyone saluted together to the "Most Holy Wenxuan King", who represented Confucius's identity, and made a symbolic bow, and then the candidates returned to their respective seats.

Then a thousand guards began to announce the discipline of the examination room in unison, they were all after the previous practice, after a bell rang, everyone began to proclaim in unison, all at the same speed, sounding in the examination room at the same time.

At the same time, 500 examination personnel began to distribute a responsibility to each candidate, which clearly stated the discipline of the examination room, and finally required the candidate to sign his name and test number, and then the examination staff took back these responsibilities and completed the unified binding.

After the responsibility was signed, the announcement of the discipline in the examination room was also completed, and the exam began.

Before that, there was already a team of heavily armed guards escorting the loaded and printed test papers into the examination room, then stopped in the examination personnel area, and then placed them in the designated area one by one, and then guarded the vicinity vigilantly.

The examination papers were loaded in large iron boxes, and each iron box contained a hundred examination papers with seals on them.

The chief examiner, Zhu Sheng, took the co-examiners Ye Chen and Zhang Yi, as well as a few examination personnel, to the front of these iron boxes full of exam papers, and then checked the seals and fire paint on these iron boxes one by one to see if there were any traces of damage.

After confirming that there was no damage, the examination staff around them began to open the iron box one after another as required, and then took out all the test papers inside, and then distributed them according to different subjects.

After the examination papers were distributed to the candidates one by one, after a bell rang, the exam officially began, before that, each candidate was distributed a pastry and tea, after all, from queuing outside the venue, to the entrance inspection, and then looking for a seat, worshiping the Confucian saint, and then signing the responsibility, after a toss, it has been two hours, many people have begun to be tired, so the pastries and tea were also sent, and after the candidates have eaten, the exam has begun.
