For the Dragon King, Zhang Xiaoyang has always occupied an important position in his heart.

Zhang Xiaoyang was the first believer of the Dragon King, and when he was still the weakest of the Dragon King, the believer treasure chest brought by the first believer allowed him to take off directly and get rid of the predicament of weakness, which the Dragon King always remembered.

With the slow contact, the dragon king gradually brought himself into the role of a father, and treated Zhang Xiaoyang like his own child, so the dragon king doted on Zhang Xiaoyang very much.

But no matter how much he spoils her, the dragon king also has a sense of proportion, for example, he didn't directly bless Zhang Xiaoyang, maybe he will in a few decades, but not now.

When he heard Zhang Xiaoyang say that she was also going to participate in the exam, the Dragon King's first reaction was similar to Tie Yong's, that is, to mess around.

This is also a reflection of normal people, Zhang Xiaoyang is too young after all, only thirteen years old, thirteen years old in the heart of the Dragon King, is she just a little girl, a little girl also wants to be an official? What's not that nonsense?

However, the dragon king knows that Zhang Xiaoyang is actually quite assertive, and his personality is also very aggressive, and in the past year, Zhang Xiaoyang has really studied hard, and his learning progress is in the forefront in front of children of the same age as her, and the master often praises her, perhaps, this is the reason why Zhang Xiaoyang is 'inflated'.

And before the announcement of the selection of officials, the Dragon King really did not think about making a limit on the number of years, since this is the case, let Zhang Xiaoyang go to the exam, let her mess around once, for her, it must be a rare experience, but whether Zhang Xiaoyang can be admitted, the Dragon King does not have any hope, but he does not want to hit Zhang Xiaoyang's confidence.

"Go back and tell Tie Yong that Xiao Yang wants to take the test, then let her take the test." The dragon king is humane.

"Whoa."

Zhang Xiaoyang's incident is just a small episode, now the entire Qingping County, no, the entire Nanhai County is busy with the selection of officials, this is the first time to select officials under the rule of the Dragon King, there is a lot of preparation to do, if everything goes well, in the future, this model will continue, if it doesn't go well, then it has to be improved.

The examination venue in Qingping County is set in the Qingping County School, which is large enough to accommodate many people for the exam.

As for the papers needed for the exam, there were several people who wrote the questions, including Long Wang, Quan Gang, Mo Liang, Ma Jun, Lu Zhu, Zhen Xun and some old farmers.

Mo Liang and Ma are responsible for the problems of craftsmanship, Lu Zhu and Zhen Xun are responsible for the problems of commerce, those old farmers are naturally responsible for the problems of agriculture, and the Dragon King and Quan Gang are responsible for the overall situation, and by the way, they are responsible for the problems of the law.

It is actually quite difficult to come up with suitable exam questions, first of all, it must be practical, and it is necessary to take care of the learning progress of the people of Nanhai County until now, and at the same time, it is necessary to let those who are talented have room to display their talents.

So the dragon king proposed a method: "In this way, at the end of the paper, come up with a few additional questions, if the previous answers are correct, even if they are qualified, if the additional questions are also answered correctly, even if they are excellent, focus on the examination." ”

But this is only a written test, after the written test, there is also an interview, the interview by the Dragon King, Quan Gang, Mo Liang and Lu Zhu as examiners, the examination of those qualified candidates, mainly to observe the character and temperament of these people, the interview is more important than the written test, even if the written test is passed, it may not be able to pass the interview.

If the written test and interview are passed, then there must be a ranking, just like the gold list of the imperial court, the dragon king finally named this list the dragon scale list, which means the scales of the dragon god, he is the dragon god, the official is like a scale, the scales are attached to his body, and they exist together.

After a few days, including the Dragon King, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and felt a faint pain in the brain, after all, it was the first time to do this, and they lacked experience, but it will be fine in the future.

On September 1, 186, when the autumn harvest was approaching, the first examination for the selection of officials in Nanhai County was held on this day.

...........

Early in the morning, the students who signed up for the selection examination came to the outside of the Qingping County School early.

The Qingping County School must be on holiday today, Huang Zhong led the sergeants to surround the school, and during the examination, no one is allowed to trespass except for students and examiners.

Among the large number of students preparing for the exam, a group of women was particularly eye-catching, note that this is a group, not one or two.

Under the concept of the dragon king's equal treatment, the status of women in Nanhai County has reached the highest point in history, these women who have read books are not willing to be left behind, since the examination requirements for the selection of officials are not limited to men and women, those who think they are a little talented, and are not willing to just teach their husbands and children at home Women came, they also want to be officials, serve the dragon king.

Among this group of women, the older ones are in their forties, and the younger ones are only in their teens, which is extremely eye-catching, and it is simply the most beautiful scenery.

"Aunt Ling, there are so many people." Zhang Xiaoyang hid in the crowd and whispered to Tie Lingdao, her body trembled slightly, and she didn't know whether she was nervous or excited, it was probably nervous, after all, it was the first time she faced such a big scene, and the thought of staying for a while to take the exam with these people made Zhang Xiaoyang a little confused.

Tie Ling was quite calm: "Little lamb, you don't care about anything for a while, just concentrate on the exam." ”

Zhang Xiaoyang pouted: "I'm afraid that even if I pass the exam, the Dragon King will not let me be an official." ”

Tie Ling smiled: "But if you can really do well in the exam, the Dragon King will definitely be very happy." ”

"yes, then I must do well in the exam." Zhang Xiaoyang clenched his little fist.

At this moment, there was an uproar from the crowd, and everyone followed the sound and saw the huge body of the dragon king coming slowly.

In this solemn atmosphere, everyone knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I've seen the Dragon King!" ”

The dragon king came to the front of everyone, looked around, stayed on Zhang Xiaoyang and Tie Ling for a moment, and then said: "Today, it is the examination for the selection of officials in Nanhai County, you and others are all talents, this king wishes you a victory and a victory on the dragon scale list!" ”

"Lord Xie Longwang." The crowd shouted in unison, and the shouts shook the sky.

"Huang Zhong."

Huang Zhong stepped forward: "The subordinates are here." ”

"Give the students the exam number, wait until nine o'clock, and take the entrance exam."

"Wow!!"

Huang Zhong had already sent a team of sergeants, shouting the names of the students loudly, and those who read the names came forward to receive the number, which was a wooden card, which must be pinned to his chest, and would be checked when he entered and exited.

Quan Gang didn't know that Zhang Xiaoyang also came to take the exam, but when he saw Zhang Xiaoyang go to get the number plate, his face was a little stunned, he looked at the Dragon King, and didn't say anything.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the gong sounded, and the sergeants shouted the names of the candidates in turn, and those who read the names entered the school, and were arranged by the sergeants to walk into the examination room, and then the master handed out the papers and began the examination.

This exam is not so cumbersome, there are only four papers in total, and the requirement is to answer within three hours, whether the answer is completed or not, the paper will be closed after three hours, and the paper will be sealed and will not be seen.

In the entire Qingping County, there are only about 500 candidates this time, and the exam will be completed twice, that is, it will end at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
