Chapter Ninety-Six: The Autumn Imperial Examination

The whole Chang'an City is filled with a tense atmosphere, the triennial autumn imperial examination officially kicked off, early in the morning every intersection of Chang'an City is on guard patrol wearing armor, sharp knives out of the sheath of the soldiers, occasionally can see camouflage clothing, a strange hat on the head, holding a submachine gun in the hand, patrol around, looking at their momentum, the people also know that these people are all soldiers who can fight well.

Nine days and seven nights of the imperial examination, Li Shen felt too perverted, this is N times more perverted than modern high school and college, now think about it, those modern high school students are really happy compared to them, I don't know how many times.

It was already autumn, the weather in this night was very cold, and the nine days were spent in a small shed of three or four square meters.

In these nine days, candidates who are almost in good health may have lost half their lives.

Li Shen didn't change this kind of rule, he felt that there was no need for that, how to say that this group of delicate nerds would suffer hardships and be a better thing.

In the end, 3,000 candidates were selected and stayed in Chang'an City.

Six or seven thousand people, in fact, Li Shen also wanted to stay all, but the people in the academy who stayed couldn't teach them at all, and this was also a big expense, and the imperial court still couldn't afford such a large amount of expenses at present.

Li Shen calculated that the living expenses of the students who entered the academy would reach two times a month, and the subsidy would be five times a month, and it would be seven times a month, and three thousand people would be more than 200,000 yuan a month, and more than 2 million yuan a year, not including the cost of various research institutes, although it didn't seem like a lot, but how much is Datang's tax revenue now? This sum of money will be one-tenth less than Datang's taxes.

The environment of the palace test, Li Shen directly canceled it, anyway, those articles in classical Chinese, looking at him also had a headache, now that Datang is facing reform, there are not so many vacant positions, for these novices to be officials, these people who don't understand anything, and only read the books of sages, do they have the ability to manage the local people's livelihood?

In Li Shen's view, these are simply jokes, and the criteria for selecting court officials will be carried out according to the political achievements of various places in the future.

On the square of the Xuanzheng Palace, there were gathered the uniform college tunics issued by the court, looking at the students with long hair on their heads, Li Shen couldn't tell the strange feeling.

"I said what I said today, I hope all the students can hear it clearly, and they can also remember it in their hearts, maybe you feel that you have studied hard for more than ten years, and finally came to Chang'an City, it is better to see the triennial imperial examination, but you can't become an official, but I tell you, you are luckier than those people before, the court needs talents, and you need talents in all aspects, so the court will arrange jobs for you.

I tell you, don't think that you will lose faith in this way, what is the heart of the world, seeking the welfare of the people, etc., I don't want to listen, because you are not qualified for the time being. Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins, and this sentence does not need me to explain to you.

And I tell you that from today onwards, the officials selected by the imperial court will no longer pass the imperial examination, but will be selected through various positions arranged by the imperial court, just like giving you a position in the village, as long as you can bring the people of this village on the road to making a fortune, the next review of your work, as long as you meet the requirements, you can take a step forward, and what official position you can finally go to depends on your respective skills.

No one will stop you from moving forward, but as long as you are dedicated to the people, for the benefit of the people, and for the people, I can assure you that you will receive what you have paid for.

In the past few months, the newspapers issued by the Datang Newspaper can be said to have circulated to various places through the merchants, and the imperial court is now carrying out comprehensive reforms, I think you should have read it, and you also know about the future trends and actions of the imperial court, so I have provided you with a platform, and the entire Datang has contributed to you, and I hope that you can seize this unique opportunity since ancient times.

How can you do it, only by yourself, your future will be in your own hands, enter the academy, you will face a one-year study task, one year later, that is, next year, I will conduct a unified assessment for you, arrange to all places in Datang, and those with excellent grades will stay in the academy to continue their studies.

Finally, I would like to say again, I hope that you can seize the opportunity and not disappoint the expectations of me and all the people of Datang for you. ”

Li Chongyi coughed slightly, stood in the crowd, looked at a large number of people at the scene, reached out and touched his flat head, sneered, and shouted loudly: "I, Li Chongyi, the king of the Tang River, the dean of the Datang Comprehensive College, welcome you to the academy for a year of study, in this year's time, I hope you can abide by the rules of the college." ”

After a pause, he continued: "But I advise you that it is best to enter the academy in accordance with the rules of the academy, and I am also for your own good, violating the rules of the academy is not something you can afford." Then he roared angrily, "Now all turn back and follow your seniors on foot to the academy." It's now mid-ten o'clock in the morning, and the academy officially starts at half past eleven, and those who can't arrive at the academy at half past eleven are sorry to make you hungry for a day. ”

Li Chongyi looked at the students who turned around and set off outside the imperial city with a satisfied face, turned around, looked at Li Shen who was standing not far away with a smile, and said, "Brother Huang, I flashed first, hehe!" The dean of this academy is becoming more and more interesting now. Don't worry, I'll give you these grandchildren, and I promise to help you manage them......"

Seeing that Li Shen was black, he quickly turned around, quickly followed behind the large army, and disappeared into Li Shen's eyes.

Li Shen shook his head slightly, for Li Chongyi, he also obeyed him, and asked for an official position all day long, I'm afraid that he is the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty who dares to follow him all day long! This made Li Shen appreciate him slightly, unlike other people, who became alienated from him because of the change of identity.
