On the streets of Luoyang, Li Yi, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia slowly walked in the direction of Dadao College. Along the way, the crowd was bustling, but this was not because the drought had no effect on the Luoyang side, but because today, for many people, was a special day. Yes, it's the big exam of Avenue College.

After seeing Li Yi and the others, they saluted Li Yi one after another, with complex expressions of excitement, gratitude, and reverence on their faces. In this regard, Li Yi just smiled and motioned for them to quickly take their children to the academy to prepare for the exam.

But then again, not all of these people take the annual exam. Because at this time of year, in addition to the time when the college assesses the students in school, it is also the time of the annual Dadao College unified recruitment. During this time, all the people were allowed to bring their children who had reached the age of five, male or female, and as long as they passed the entrance examination, they could enter the Great Avenue College after handing over very few belongings.

Of course, this kind of entrance exam is only available in the branches of Dadao College, but because of the population and size of Luoyang City, Li Yi has set up four branches in Luoyang City, in addition to a general courtyard covering a wide area, which are set up in four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest. Although the students in the branch are far from being able to fill the preset quota of the college, Li Yi believes that this day will not be too far away. You must know that in the past, when Luoyang was at its peak, the population was more than one million!

Of course, Li Yi was able to spread the stall so big because he had enough teachers. From the establishment of the Great Dao Academy to the present, in the full four years, although there are not too many talents cultivated, there are countless officials at the grassroots level and masters who are enough to serve in the branch.

"It's really unbelievable that what I thought was a water moon mirror flower in the past has now become a reality." Looking at the people who were rushing towards the Great Avenue Academy with their children, Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, who would have thought that? Just like the Lord's proposal to start a newspaper in the past, we thought it would be impossible to achieve it, but now, many people are able to understand most of the contents of the newspaper. And once these children become adults, the number of literate people in the territory will reach an unimaginable number. Hearing Xun Yu's words, Guo Jia also sighed again and again.

"Hehe, as long as there are people who are willing to teach, and the people are willing to learn, this result is just expected." Li Yi smiled when he heard this, but then the conversation changed, and his tone became very serious and said, "However, literacy is just the beginning, I hope that in my lifetime, all the people can be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, even if it is just rote memorization!" ”

"Haha, if there really is that day, my subordinates really want to see it with their own eyes~" Xun Yu and the two laughed when they heard this.

Talking and laughing all the way, after a short time, the three of them came to the door of the Great Avenue Academy.

"Junhou, the exam has begun." Seeing Li Yi and the others, the soldier guarding the door spoke.

"Hmm." Li Yi nodded when he heard this, and then smiled at Xun Yu and the two beside him, "I don't know how many talents worth looking forward to will appear this year?" ”

"Hehe, this year's third prince Wang Ding is about to perform a crown salute, and with his achievements in previous years, it is more than enough to serve as the guardian of a county."

"Haha, Yanyun and Zhongguang have already made achievements now, I think Shu'an can't wait, right?" Li Yi said with a smile when he heard this. Yanyun and Zhongguang, and even Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling and second son Wang Jing. Wang Ling has become the Sima of the newspaper company, responsible for the compilation and sale of the newspaper, and Wang Jing has also become a county official, giving full play to his talents in the local area.

"However, with the style of the lord's calendar year, I'm afraid that the third son of the Wang family will need to stay up in the local area for a while before he can show his ambitions~" Xun Yu chuckled when he heard this.

"Hehe, young people are sharp, so it's still necessary to go to the place to polish your temperament." Li Yi chuckled when he heard this, "And if all the county officials can't do a good job, how can they bear greater responsibility?" ”

"Hey, fortunately, my subordinates have known the lord in the past, otherwise if you need to stay up in the local area for a while, just think about that kind of day, it will be unbearable for your subordinates." Guo Jia laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard this.

While laughing, the three of them walked through the corridor and came to a large room. Pushing the door in, I saw Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui and others chatting in the house. Seeing Li Yi and the others, everyone nodded one after another, and then continued their topic. In this regard, Li Yi and the three of them didn't care, just found a random place to sit down and listened to their chat.

This seemingly random situation is exactly what Li Yi has been emphasizing. In his words, there are no official ranks in the academy, only masters, students, and visitors. The reason for this is that Li Yi wants to maintain a pure learning atmosphere in the college.

At this time, they were talking about the students who were now taking the exam, and after listening to it for a while, Li Yi interjected and smiled, "Listening to the words of the public, among the students who are about to wear the crown in the past two years, there are many talents worth looking forward to?" ”

"Hehe, that's right, among the people who will wear the crown next year, there is Shi Tao from Yingchuan, Yuzhou, whose talent is in my opinion, but it is enough to govern a state." Sima Hui smiled when he heard this.

"Hehe, Ning is looking forward to two years later, when there will be more talents among the people who wear crowns. For example, Gundam, the son of Gaofujun, can be described as both civil and military! Among the others, Guan Ping, the son of the general, Jia Kui of the Jia family in Hedong, and Wang Cang, a person from Shanyang in Yanzhou, are all rare talents. Guan Ning stroked his beard and smiled.

"However, among these students at present, the most talented person is probably Sima Yi, the second brother of Sima Changshi. Although he is only 16 years old, he is the best among all when it comes to learning. Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up and said, obviously extremely satisfied with Sima Yi.

"Tsukasa Tiger Sima Zhongda~Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it~" Hearing Zheng Xuan's words, Li Yi thought in his heart and said with a smile, "Hehe, that's really to see you~"

As mentioned earlier, although Sima Yi and his two sons usurped Cao Wei in history, Li Yi still chose to accept and entrust the Sima clan with important responsibilities. Because, he was not worried at all that the country he had laid down would be usurped by Sima Yi or others in the future.

After all, there are too many talents under him, coupled with the continuous blood transfusion of the Great Dao Academy, where can Cao Wei in the later stage be compared? And strictly speaking, it is not so much that the Sima clan seized the foundation of the Cao clan, but that the families who were originally attached to the Cao clan turned to the arms of the Sima clan.

However, since Li Yi came to this era, he has been thinking about how to suppress the family. The Great Dao Academy is just a part of the more complete ideas that have been put into action, and there are many more, Li Yi is either thinking about it, or it is not yet time to act.

As time passed, from time to time, the master of the academy came in and presented a stack of exam papers. Li Yi picked up a copy casually, looked at it, and put it back again.

Seeing this, Sima Hui suddenly smiled and said, "Zikang doesn't need to worry, the assessment of Class A will not end so soon." ”

"Yes, the difficulty of this year's exam paper has increased a lot~" Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and smiled.

Hearing the words of the two, Guo Jia on the side suddenly quipped, "The lord wants to see how the eldest prince is doing, right?" ”

"Hehe, the eldest prince is both civil and military, although he was taken the first place by others several times last year, but he is still the leader of the B class." Hearing this, Sima Hui stroked his beard and chuckled in admiration. As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted echoes from the rest of the room.

"Haha, don't praise that kid too much~" Li Yi laughed when he heard this, but although he said so, the smugness on his face could be seen by anyone.

After a long time, the exam papers of the B class were finally sent, and after a while, Sima Hui smiled and handed over an exam paper to Li Yi, "Zikang, it's better for the eldest prince to evaluate the exam papers, right?" ”

"By no means, the academy system cannot be abolished." Hearing this, Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand and smiled.

Seeing this, Sima Hui smiled, and immediately assessed Li Xin's exam paper in front of Li Yi. After a short time, he used a pen to draw a few strokes on it, and after making a few evaluations, he handed it to Li Yi.

At this time, Li Yi took the exam paper and read it, but without looking at it twice, Li Yi said a little embarrassed, "Why do you still use the content of the book I wrote for the teaching of Class B......

"Hehe, although Zikang's treatise on governance seems simple, it has many contents that point directly to the essence. Not only the B class, but also the A class must be learned. Sima Hui smiled when he heard this.

"Yes, I have also read Zikang's treatise, it is indeed very simple and thorough, and it is also more practical. In many places, even ordinary people can understand it, and it is very good to use it for teaching. Zheng Xuan also opened his mouth to echo.

The words suddenly made Li Yi even more embarrassed, but the smugness in his eyes could not be hidden. After all, the evaluations of these two are enough to make [Li Yizhi's Treatise] a classic sought after by scholars all over the world, how can this not make Li Yi happy?

Soon, Li Yi finished reading Li Xin's exam papers, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, "Now, Yan'er, they should be able to rest assured." Li Yi thought to himself.

Although he didn't know the results of other people, with Li Xin's exam paper alone, Li Yi didn't feel that anyone among his peers could surpass him. Because, Li Xin's exam paper is almost perfect.

Having said that, the exam in Class B is actually not worth mentioning, after all, the content learned in Class B is not strictly speaking. What really deserves attention is the result of Class A.

Speaking of which, Li Yi is very curious about the exam papers of Class A, because he really hasn't paid attention to it. "I wonder how hard it will be?" Li Yi pondered secretly.

It's just that when he really saw the exam papers of Class A, he was immediately happy, because most of the exam questions in Class A were all open-ended content.

"Hehe, I forgot to mention it before, but I didn't expect that De Cao Gong and they had already thought of it~" Li Yi looked at these exam papers and thought secretly.

After all the examination papers were evaluated, Sima Hui and others called the people with the best grades in each class, and in addition to praising them a few words, they also gave them some books as a reward.

"Zikang, since you are here, can you also encourage these students?" Sima Hui looked at Li Yi and said with a chuckle.

In a word, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Li Yi's body, and from their eyes, Li Yi saw the familiar admiration, reverence, and fanaticism, except for Li Xin, who behaved as usual as Li Yi's son, and other people, including Sima Yi. No way, who made Li Yi's reputation and experience so yearning for them?

"Hehe, you're all doing well, but it's just an exam, and it's nothing technically. The only thing that can be proven is that your talent on paper is good. But you can't get carried away because of this, because Zhao Kuo in the past was also a talented person on paper. Li Yi looked at everyone and chuckled.

"The words of the prince and the prince, the students and others must keep it in mind." Everyone said respectfully.

"Well, I won't say much about the rest, I think you've heard a lot of these compliments." Seeing this, Li Yi nodded, then smiled at everyone after a deep sigh, "That's it, I'll reward you with some money." Although it is not much, it is enough to buy some gifts of food and wine to honor the elders in the family. ”

"Thank you, Prince." Everyone responded in unison, especially those whose families were not too wealthy.

Hearing this, Li Yi nodded, then suddenly stood up and walked in front of Sima Yi, "Ah Yi, you are very good, work hard, I am very optimistic about you~" Saying that, Li Yi smiled and patted Sima Yi's shoulder.

In an instant, more than a dozen scorching gazes that were almost visible to the naked eye shot at Sima Yi, and it was obvious that they were envious and jealous of Sima Yi. After all, Li Yi bluntly said that he was very optimistic about him!

"Humph! Next time, I must be better than Ah Yi! Several students in Class A thought to themselves.

And what about Sima Yi? I saw a hint of flushing on his face, and his expression was even more excited and said loudly, "The student will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the prince!" ”

Li Yi took all the reactions of Sima Yi and everyone into his eyes, and then, he saw Li Yi patting Sima Yi's shoulder with a smile on his face, and secretly thought proudly in his heart, "Young people are easy to deceive~"

Well, what Li Yi did just now was not just to win over Sima Yi, but also to arouse the competitiveness of others. In this way, Li Yi believes that they will definitely study harder in the future to strive to surpass Sima Yi. And Sima Yi will do the same, so as not to be surpassed by others.

Healthy competition! In Li Yi's opinion, this is the atmosphere that should appear most in the Great Dao Academy.
