As soon as Li Rujia Xu arrived in Liyang by boat and rested in Liyang City, he saw someone discussing the examination, after all, the candidates were from Jizhou, accounting for the majority.

There is a scholar who said: If you raise people in the examination, you can also be a small official, and the jinshi will be awarded an official, and it is not difficult to take the jinshi exam with the talent of the elder brother.

Another scholar said: I don't know what to test, if it is to test the scriptures, poems and songs, I am not afraid, I am afraid of taking something I have never seen. I hope I can pass the test.

Suddenly, someone found that Li Ru was also dressed as a scholar, and said: I don't know if Brother Tai is also going to take the exam?

Li Rudao: Exactly, it seems that we are on the same road, and I said, I don't know what Brother Tai thinks of Zhang Zhoumu's examination? The scholar said, don't hide it from his brother, the younger brother has been studying with his father since he was a child, but unfortunately no one recommends him, and there may not be one or two in a county of filial piety every year.

But my father has always wanted me to be able to join the industry, but how easy is it to say? Although there are some fields in the family, it is difficult to find someone to recommend! I heard that Zhang Zhoumu can enter the office as long as he is a scholar, so he came.

Jia Xu also sighed, it is too difficult to enter the company without a way. He was curious again: This brother is from Jizhou.

The scholar said: It is a native of Liyang, but he is not in the county seat, ten miles outside the city, Jia Xu said: I don't know what the little brother thinks about the rent reduction and interest reduction of Zhangzhoumu's stall per mu?

Shizi Dao: To be honest, there are also some tenants in a certain family who are renting land for a certain family. But after Zhang Zhoumu's new policy, the rent was less than the original thirty percent, and the taxes on the acres of land were also paid by the landlord.

But what else can be done about everyone doing this? However, we are also scholars, and we can understand the hardships of the tenants, and we can understand the hard work of the state pastor by seeing how much the tenants have surplus food. It's not easy to be in troubled times, and patience is over.

Jia Xu nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

Then along the way, there were boats and horsebacks, and scholars could often be seen passing by on the official road to Yecheng.

A few days later, Jia Xu finally came to Yecheng, and when Li Ru accompanied Jia Xu to the State Pastoral Mansion, Zhang Jie laughed and said: My son's room has arrived, there is such an old fox here, see who can still yin me. Zhang Jie was really happy. There is Jia Xu, Li Ru, the sinister fox, and I am afraid that he will be Cao Cao.

Zhang Jiedao: Wen You is fortunate to have suffered this time, and with the help of Mr. Wen He, it can be compared to 100,000 male soldiers. Jia Xu said: Ming Gong praises it absurdly! Don't dare to be. Zhang Jie said: Afford it, haha, Mr. Wenhe is not far away from Gongsun Zhan's death!

He also said: Wen You, Wen He will live in you for a few days, I will ask people to find a mansion for Wen He, this matter has to be done after the examination, and many scholars have come recently. Jie let the scholars live in several mansions.

Jia Xu said: Ming Gong doesn't have to bother. Let's live with Wen You, just find someone to play chess. Well, that's it for now.

When I'm done with this, I'll take Wenhe to Yecheng.

The exam finally started on the third day. The weather was also good, and there were 1,000 and dozens of candidates in the middle of the big school. The large school field is used for garrison drills and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The Qianquat candidate asked at all.

Each candidate had a small stool, a low table, surrounded by soldiers with spears around the examination room, and then began to enter, to search their bodies, and the first time the examiners did not think about preparing to cheat.

So as long as you don't bring weapons and swords, let in, the examiner loudly read the rules of the examination room, and then the hair roll, when the candidate found that it was a roll made of white paper, he was also very curious, two rolls per person, and one more can be used if one is broken, and the left side of each paper has a black line that has bounced through the area is specially written with a name.

This was designed by Zhang Jie. The ink thread used for carpenter's work is straightened and drawn on the paper, just like the binding line of later generations. The examiner first informed that the name can only be written outside the line, because the name is to be blurred, and if it is written in the line, the exam paper will be invalid. And there are a few sample papers for everyone to show at the entrance.

When a gong rang in the examination room. Two staff members carried a large blackboard made of wooden boards, on which were questions, the first of which was a question from the Analects, which the reader could usually answer well.

The second question is an explanation of a few sentences in the scriptures.

The third question is on the current situation. The fourth question is a nine-chapter arithmetic.

For these four items, each of the words on the blackboard was very large, and the two of them carried it and walked around again, so that everyone could see the topic clearly.

The exam will take place at two o'clock in the morning. Most people can finish it in half an hour. This first round is relatively simple, and Zhang Jie mainly looks at the next two rounds.

When someone crosses the circle, they slowly start to turn in the circle one after another, and they leave the examination room after the exam, just like the college entrance examination in later generations, there are happy and lost.

When he reported the situation to Zhang Jie. There are more than 1,000 copies of the circle, and there are more than 100 people in the circle, and each person reads more than 100 copies, which is enough for one day.

He asked Zhang Jie how many of the more than 1,000 people he chose to enter the second round.

Zhang Jie said: For the first time, choose more points and choose 500 people to enter the second round. In the second round, 200 people were selected.

In the third round, 100 jinshi are selected. If there are fewer choices, I am afraid that it will make the candidates feel cold. Choose too much and be afraid of indiscriminate filling.

On the morning of the third day, the list began to be released, and when many candidates saw their names on the list, they jumped up happily and cried.

If you are admitted to the first round, you will be a showman. When the five hundred Xiucai were called out one by one, and then the names were posted on several large blackboards, and the entire list point was boiling.

These 500 people didn't realize that they were at least showmen, but they also knew that this showtalent and the court's show were two different things.

The showman of the imperial court is called Maocai, and he can be an official directly, and this showman has just passed the first exam, and there are still two rounds. But this also made many poor children cry with joy.

When Zhang Jie took this list and looked to see if he could find historical celebrities, he also smiled, although there were no big fish, there were still a few small fish and shrimp. Among them is Jiujiang Jiang Gan,

Lingling Jiang Wan, Zhang Jie smiled, can you dig up a great Sima of Shu Han in history, can Zhang Jie be unhappy?

The third day of the exam was much faster than the first one, because there were more than half of the people, only 500 people, but today's questions were a little more difficult.

Cai Yong, the old guy, forced his scriptures, Zhang Jie was unwilling, but the old guy said: If you don't add the old man, you shouldn't take this main exam, Zhang Jie saw that he didn't do it, so he could only agree, Zhang Jie also wanted to borrow his reputation.

After the exam, these scholars were not as relaxed as a few days ago, and this question was much more difficult. This time, Zhang Jie originally planned to admit 200 people.

However, it was later changed and 300 people were admitted, because Zhang Jie is too short of talents now, and he plans to choose 200 people to go to the state, so it doesn't matter if he is a big talent or a small talent, as long as he is loyal to him, anyway, you can slowly choose a big talent in the future, and first stabilize and merge the state.

In the end, Zhang Jie decided that these 300 people would directly bestow Jinshi, that is, to turn them all into Jinshi with kindness, and give grace to the scholars.

When the list of 300 jinshi came out, all the scholars were shocked, they didn't have to take the next round jinshi, Zhang Jie directly awarded them jinshi, which meant that they were about to become officials.

Happiness came too suddenly. When Tian Feng asked Zhang Jie how he had changed, Zhang Jie said: What we want is only the talent of the county commander and the county lieutenant, the main thing is that they want to be loyal to me, and their talent is slowly cultivated, and their experience is also slowly cultivated. Let's stay for now. Next year can be stricter. Take a look at the latest chapters of "Mr. Storyteller of the Three Kingdoms" and read it for free for the first time.
