Li Dongdong has been gone for more than three months without any news, and I don't know if the mosquito coil has been made? Or is it a big hit in the market?

However, in the autumn, no mosquito coils were seen in the Tangji grocery store, which specializes in trendy and luxury goods in Tangyin County, indicating that Li Dongdong's business had encountered difficulties temporarily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that Li Yanqing didn't have the heart to ask Li Dongdong about it for the time being, the hot summer has passed, and now it's September, and an extremely important exam is coming, which is the first exam of the Liberation Exam.

The Song Dynasty was not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties had to pass the children's examination before it was their turn to solve the examination, and the Song Dynasty issued the examination was the first step of the statutory imperial examination, also called the state examination, but if it was not restricted, almost all the readers would rush to participate in the examination, increasing the burden of candidates and examiners, and it would also cause serious mixing, which was not conducive to the selection of outstanding talents.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty also had certain qualification restrictions on scholars who participated in the liberation examination, and there were generally two methods, one was the guarantee system, which was guaranteed by three people, and the other was the recommendation system, that is, the counties recommended scholars to take the examination.

However, if the candidate cheats or the level is too low, it will generally affect the guarantor and seriously affect the future of the guarantor, so there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to be the guarantor, and the recommendation of each county has become the mainstream.

In order to recommend qualified talents to participate in the examination, most counties will hold a selection examination two months before the examination, and this selection examination gradually formed a children's examination after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Tangyin County is no exception, every year after the Double Ninth Festival, the county or county will hold a formal selection examination in the county school, and only if the selection examination is passed will the county be recommended to participate in the release test.

Since Wang Anshi reformed the Taixue system, all states have generally set up government-run state schools, so that the selection examination of county schools has been given another layer of meaning: it is also the graduation examination of county schools, collectively known as the county school examination.

However, because it is a county's own proposition, it is generally very simple, a mere formality, and the cheating phenomenon is very serious, and basically all of them are passed.

But after the reform of this year's release test, the county test in September is not the same thing as before, it has become a part of the release test, called the county test, the state government will issue questions, and the state government will send officials to the counties to take the main test, what makes the candidates even more frightened is that last month the state government issued an official notice that only the top 100 students were admitted to the Tangyin County test this time.

In other words, only 100 people are eligible to participate in the official liberation test, and more than 400 people in Tangyin County used to flock to Anyang every year for reference, but only 100 people have the opportunity this year.

．．．．．．

At the dinner table the day before the county exam, Zhang Xian hurriedly sat down, and said to Li Yanqing with his red eyes: "Lao Li, let me tell you an unfortunate news, the candidates from Taixue, Guozixue and the four major academies from Xiangzhou have been counted, and there are seventy-five people in total. ”

"Oh!" Li Yanqing responded lightly.

Zhang Xian almost didn't sleep all night, just to be in a hurry to tell Li Yanqing this important news, but Li Yanqing seemed a little careless, which really disappointed Zhang Xian.

He was a little anxious and said, "Don't you understand what I mean?" There are only fifteen places in total, and the competition within Xiangzhou is already very fierce, and now there is such a big pack of wolves running back outside, where is there still us! ”

If it was usual, Li Yanqing would definitely be surprised by this news, but now he has at least half of his interpretations not studied carefully, he has not done a poem, and he has not memorized a word of the criminal law.

"Don't worry about it so much now, it's important to concentrate on tomorrow's county exam."

Now Li Yanqing is a little lacking in confidence, and he is starting to be nervous about tomorrow's county exam.

Yue Fei, who was drinking porridge, felt Li Yanqing's nervousness, and couldn't help but smile: "Lao Li won't be so unconfident, right?" ”

"Of course there is no confidence!"

Without waiting for Li Yanqing to answer, Zhang Xian poured bitter water on everyone first, "This time, a total of 530 people in Tangyin County applied for the exam, more than 700 people in Anyang County, more than 400 people in Linzhang County, and more than 300 people in Linshu County, adding up to more than 2,000 people, and 1,500 people were eliminated in the county exam, and only 500 people were left to participate in the formal examination.

Then Taixue, Guozixue and the four major academies had to come to seventy-five masters to participate in the competition, and they didn't have to participate in the county examination, and in the end, the imperial court only gave fifteen places to lift people, how difficult do you say this is? ”

Wang Gui and the three of them glanced at Li Yanqing sympathetically, and there was a kind of happiness in their eyes, 'Fortunately, I didn't choose the imperial examination'.

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know the height of the sky before, but now I have discovered the breadth and profundity of the new meaning of the Three Classics, like a bottomless ocean, I have just seen the sea now, and I am not even wet in my shoes, I am afraid when I think about it, what should I take to participate in the imperial examination?" Is it any wonder that Master must let me study for two years in county school before taking the Liberation Exam? I only now understand Master's painstaking efforts. ”

Yue Fei nodded, "If you really can't do it, you will go to state school for three years, and then take the Liberation Exam, you will only be sixteen years old at that time, I think this is more secure." ”

"Lao Li, why don't you go to the martial arts test! So the four of us brothers are together again. Wang Gui's mouth was stuffed with meat buns, and he said vaguely.

Tang Huai shook the small folding fan, pouted and said: "At most, three brothers are together, generally speaking, you Wang Gui will not be able to pass the martial arts examination nine times out of ten, and go home to feed the pigs." ”

Wang Gui hated to pick up a bun and stuffed it into Tang Huai's mouth, "I'm feeding the pigs now!" ”

"Alright, you two stop messing around!"

Yue Fei stopped Wang Gui and Tang Huai's fight, and said to Li Yanqing again: "I went home the day before yesterday to see Master, and he asked me to bring you a few words, but I saw that you were too busy with revision, so I wanted to tell you after the county exam." ”

Li Yanqing's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "What did Master say?" ”

"Master told you not to worry too much, he said that although it was the imperial court, but it would also take into account the actual situation of the northern scholars, and would not completely refer to the southern examination method, and would definitely take both into account, the master deduced that the second "Three Classics and New Meanings" must be a test of the Ming Sutra, and the first and third strategies are the test of comprehension, Master also said that the combination of the scriptures and the strategy is your strength, and it is not lost to the southern scholars, he makes you have confidence in yourself."

Hearing Master's thoughtful words, Li Yanqing only felt warm in his heart, he stretched his arms and said with a smile: "The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, it's useless to be afraid, it's better to cheer up and kill it without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Li Yanqing has a little confidence in himself, but Zhang Xian and Qin Liang are extremely worried, they are not sure at all, and only one hundred people will be admitted to the county exam tomorrow!

After breakfast, Yue Fei and the three of them continued to go to the county school for training, while Li Yanqing, Zhang Xian, and Qin Liang went to see the examination room, which was set up in the Confucian Temple next door to the county school.

The Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple is the main examination room for tomorrow's county examination, which can accommodate 300 people at the same time, and there are also left and right school palaces, each of which can accommodate more than 100 candidates, and tomorrow will be these three examination rooms.

Every candidate has received a floating ticket, the floating ticket is the admission ticket, there is a seat number on it, that is, the candidate's examination number, Li Yanqing's seat is Jiahai 174, A refers to the examination room, which is the Dacheng Palace.

In order to prevent candidates from cheating when looking at the examination room, the seat number will only be posted on each table after the examination room is closed, and everyone only knows which area they sit in when looking at the examination room, narrowing down the scope and making it easy to find.

Today's examination room is not always available, and the examination room is only open for half an hour, so that candidates can understand the rules and procedures of tomorrow's examination.

A bell rang, the gate of the Confucian Temple opened violently, and hundreds of candidates who came to see the examination room poured into the gate, in addition to more than 300 county students, there were more than 200 scholars who were not studying in the county school, some of them were students who failed in the previous examination, and there were also many Tangyin scholars who rushed back from the state school and various academies to take the exam.

Li Yanqing, Zhang Xian, and Qin Liang walked into the Confucian Temple together, the three of them were not in the same examination room, and they broke up after entering the gate, Li Yanqing was walking along the road to Dacheng Hall, and he suddenly heard a rich bass behind him.

"It's the first time for my junior brother to take the test!"

Li Yanqing looked to both sides, there was no one left and right, he turned around, and saw a man in his thirties following behind him, with a beard that was a foot long, very neatly trimmed, his eyes were clear, wearing a snow-white Confucian robe, wearing a high-ranking scholar, looking like a well-educated man.

If he didn't open his mouth just now, Li Yanqing would have thought that he would be tomorrow's invigilator, but unfortunately, his 'junior brother' revealed his identity.

Li Yanqing immediately remembered who he was, Yang Yun, Wang Gui treated him as a county professor on the first day of school, and made a big joke.

This is a thirty-four-year-old veteran of the county school, the children are all ten years old, and he himself has taken the liberation test five or six times, but he has not passed the exam once, but this gentleman is also stubborn, and he resolutely does not go to the state school, and is dedicated to taking the road of the imperial examination.

Although they are all classmates, there are also seniors and juniors, so Li Yanqing respectfully got out of the way and let the old seniors go first.

Yang Yun saw that he knew how to count etiquette, and he liked it too, so he smiled and said: "I know that the junior brother is a student who practices riding and archery, and he usually has no time to read and review his homework, this county exam is indeed a little difficult, but I can tell the junior brother a trick, so that you can easily pass tomorrow's exam." ”

Li Yanqing was a little curious, so he smiled and asked, "Do you still have a trick to the county test?" ”

"Of course there is, I've taken the exam six times, and I've been an eighteen-year-old qualification, can't I see through the examiner's little trick?"

Li Yanqing heard him talk about the six exams complacently, as if it had become a kind of qualification, so he couldn't wait to tear his skin apart to see if there was a thick city wall?

Yang Yun saw that there was no one left and right, so he pulled Li Yanqing behind a big tree, and mysteriously took out a roll of paper from his arms, which was densely filled with small characters.

"Tomorrow's test questions, seven CDs are here."

Li Yanqing's gaze immediately turned into a surging country, full of admiration, this guy can actually see through the examiner's little tricks, although he himself can't pass the exam once, but he leaves the opportunity to others, what kind of selfless spirit is this.

"I won't lie to you, in fact, there are only two or three hundred questions in the solution test, and there are rules for each session, I have already figured it out, although the official solution test is the imperial court, but tomorrow's county test is still the question of the old professors of those states, and it must not be able to get out of the previous question bank, I dare not say that I guessed all of them, at least I can guess six or seven percent, how about it? I only need two taels of silver, and you can easily pass tomorrow, if you don't guess, I will pay you five taels of silver. ”

In the last two sentences, Li Yanqing's eyes were about to fall, and he suddenly smelled a strong smell of copper, and a big truth gradually surfaced, the economy of the examination room!

This old senior who is dressed in a snow-white Confucian robe, wears a high hat, and is dressed as a professor who is even more professor, should he call him Senior Brother Yang, or should he call him Shopkeeper Yang?

That's what he has been doing all these years!

"The junior brother has a solid family background, and he won't care about just two taels of silver, you must know that only one of the five candidates will be admitted tomorrow, and if you buy my question, you will definitely be surprised tomorrow." Yang Yun continued to agitate skillfully.

Li Yanqing smiled, "Senior brother, is there any official question for the exam, if so, I am willing to give ten taels of silver." ”

The smile on Yang Yun's face suddenly froze, and he officially solved the test questions? Are you kidding!

He had already seen that Li Yanqing was not his potential customer, so he immediately shifted the target, and when he saw that there was a young student in front of him, he left Li Yanqing and walked up quickly.

"Hey! The junior in front of me is taking the Liberation Test for the first time!" The deep bass voice sounded again.
