The 1,500 candidates were distributed by Cao Xing, Huang Chengyan and others.

More than 10,000 onlookers and civilians lined up in a long line, and the soldiers distributed them one-on-one.

Except for a few children of the Gaomen family who refused to accept it, everyone present accepted this exquisite commemorative coin.

The poor entourage has a low salary for a year, and he can exchange it for a commemorative coin of ten yuan at Cao Jun's industrial point, which is obviously a big surprise, and his good impression of Cao 'sex', a boy who scatters wealth, has greatly increased.

The commemorative coin is exquisitely made, one side is a brass coil dragon, one side is the official book, the small seal two kinds of writing of dangshi, and there is a circle of lace like a zigzag on the inside.

In addition to Panlong, the rest are made of red copper, and the value of copper itself is converted to nine times that of a bronze five-baht coin, and then counting the processing, as a big money of the moment, it is acceptable to use, and what it lacks is credit.

The poor retinue and the common people collected it, and some even tied it with red strings and hung it around their necks as a kind of necklace.

Several of the entourage of the family who were in need of money, accompanied by their companions, came to the Cao family's shop with fear, and the shopkeeper took out ten five-baht coins very happily and exchanged them with them.

Those who hold ten five-baht coins, or commemorative coins, return home for the New Year and trumpet the goodness of Cao's "sex".

This greatly increased the fame of Cao's "sex" among the low-level people.

In the afternoon, the people of Zhenyang put down what they were doing and became active, and each family offered their food to the god of the stove king.

On the main street, gongs and drums are noisy, stilts are stepped on, Han dances are danced, and all kinds of performances are performed.

Cao "sex" rode his red "color" high-headed horse, Huang Yueying rode with him, sitting in front, she was very excited when she rode a horse for the first time, one hand tightly grasped Cao "sex" and hugged her arm, one hand kept waving, and a pair of eyes looked around.

Cao "sex" was also happy, and looked at Huang Chengyan who was driving next to him: "Huang Gong, are you still thinking about the exam questions?" ”

"Xiaojun, you are not choosing filial piety, but Jiuqing!" Huang Chengyan looked at Huang Yueying, who was sitting in front of him, and explained the main purpose of Cao's sex.

Huang Chengyan deserves his name, and the six questions are based on the functions of the six departments of the three provinces and six departments, which are not much different from the Jiuqing of the current dynasty, and they are more advanced.

But Cao's "sex" self-confidence, whether he understands it or not, the most he thinks of is that he wants to cultivate his own power and connections, and promote to the ranks of the scholar clan for future generations.

It is precisely by such an ancestor that today's scholar clan has been able to get rid of the title of Haoqiang and advance smoothly with the efforts of several generations.

"If my deceased official has a member of Jiuqing, my Cao family will prosper from now on, why not?" Cao's "sex" is playing haha, mixing the purpose.

Huang Chengyan "touched" and "touched" his beard: "Three thousand rolls of bamboo slips, if it is not the last question, there is another thousand five, after the test to the present, in less than half a day, first through me, more than 100 people who are familiar with literature and ink, screened out more than 100 volumes, how many have you read now?" Are there any promising candidates? ”

Collecting the whole army, only more than 100 people are proficient in writing and ink and can read the requirements of hyphenation.

The military has been holding night schools and lectures by famous teachers to promote culture and education, but there are very few people who can be proficient in writing and ink, especially those who can understand classical Chinese, who have been planting trees for 10 years, educating people for 100 years, and educating people for more than a year.

More than 100 proficient people are still literate in advance, except for several civil officials, most of the rest are merchants, bookkeepers, Haoqiang, craftsmen, etc., and only one who has really cultivated himself from scratch is still a fake son of Cao's "sex", and he can only start.

In order to prevent missing talents, more than 100 people, in groups of three and three, good and secondary, read the same batch of volumes, and those who were approved by one person had to be picked out and handed over to Cao "sex" for the final review, so more than 100 volumes were selected.

Cao's "sex" literacy speed is the fastest, at this time using the official script font, which is not much different from traditional Chinese characters, plus a year of study, there is no problem in checking the answer sheet.

Asked if he had finished reading it, Cao "sex" pinched the bridge of his nose, and now he felt tired when he thought of reading the papers, more than 100 volumes, not many words, but more than 30 volumes were in classical Chinese, and he was afraid of missing talents, so he had to read and read again.

I didn't get selected, but the examination room was the first to take refuge in myself, and the bamboo slips written by Kou Guang were taken and read, and the final evaluation was that this guy was literate, could write, and was interested in the laws of the Criminal Department, and then there was no more.

The names of the sons of the 1,500 Shi clan Haoqiang were also looked at again and again, and finally found that it was all in vain, except for Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, and Liu Xian, who already knew him, the rest, there was not a single celebrity with an impression.

The battered Cao's "sex" couldn't be shown in front of Huang Chengyan, he just buried these in his heart, and "revealed" a confident smile, and also played the same drama as a gentleman.

"I've got six of them, but I don't know if they're willing to make me his benefactor!" Cao "sex" replied truthfully, and asked again: "Huang Gong has also read the answer sheet picked up, I don't know which ones he likes?" Why don't we write it down with the same person and then open it together? ”

Huang Chengyan agreed, because they were all riding horses, so he asked the entourage next to him to remember and write it out.

Seeing that Lu Fan on his side had written his name and wanted to hand it over to himself, Cao "sex" pouted in the direction of Huang Chengyan: "Directly hand it over to Huang Gong!" ”

When Huang Chengyan saw him like this, he also followed the signal.

The two took each other's written names and were happy after reading them.

The first, second, and third are all written as Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, and Liu Xian, and three names are written on the back, only one pair is written differently.

Cao "sex" had already guessed this result, but Huang Chengyan didn't expect it, he was more and more optimistic about Cao's "sex", and looked at Cao "sex" riding with his daughter at this time, his eyes softened a lot.

In addition to the leading civil and military forces, Cao's soldiers carried the statue of the Lord of the Stove and wandered to celebrate.

The Lord of the Stove is a god sent by Heaven to supervise the world, and the twenty-four filial piety figures of the Jin Dynasty, all of whom mention the Lord of the Stove, and are also respected by the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Xiang begged for carp while lying on the ice, that is, the king of the stove sued the emperor of heaven, and after that, the emperor ordered him to throw the carp to Wang Xiang, otherwise Wang Xiang would have frozen to death, or he couldn't stand the cold, so he went to the market to buy it.

The Zhenyang soldiers had a holiday all day, and the unmarried men and women, dressed up in new clothes, dressed up beautifully, began to contact each other through the temple fair, and I don't know how many pairs of mandarin ducks were achieved in one night.

After leading the civil and military to worship the king of the stove, Cao "sex" Qiao dressed up and walked around the lively Zhenyang City with Huang Yueying, Lu Fan and Gong all acted as entourages, and hundreds of guards lurked in the crowd.
