An extremely young-looking young man in an official uniform sat in the center of the main hall. He was dressed in a white robe, a white paper fan in his hand, a whispering hairpin on his head, the skin on his face was fairer than ordinary people, and his whole body exuded an elegant atmosphere. However, in this elegant atmosphere, there is a certain majesty.

"Meet Master Sizheng!"

In the main hall, there were other people standing, all of whom were officials of the Scholars Department. The Si Zheng in their mouths is Chen Yang, the county magistrate, that is, the young man in front of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat!" Chen Yang snapped and closed the fan, "Yesterday, the college examinations in various academies have ended, and today I invited everyone here to discuss the time of the joint entrance examination and the content of the joint entrance examination." ”

The joint entrance examination in his mouth is different from the college examination. The college examination is only an examination among the government academies, while the joint entrance examination is an examination conducted by the government and private schools together, which is the origin of the name of the joint entrance examination.

"My lord, I think that the time of the joint entrance examination should be set in December."

"The joint entrance examination is actually equivalent to a mock test for the county examination, and the county examination will be held in June next year, I think the joint entrance examination and the county examination should not be too long apart!"

"Put it in February! In February of the following year, it should be possible! ”

I don't know who mentioned February, but some officials nodded in agreement.

"Then February!"

Chen Yang looked around at the reactions of everyone in the main hall, nodded slightly, and decided. In fact, according to the usual practice, the joint entrance examination is also around February.

"After the text is written everywhere, I hope that the priests in each town can be prepared!"

"My lord, there is one thing that I don't know if to talk about or not?"

"Say!"

"The test questions given in this year's college examination seem to be a little difficult......"

An official asked, he had already read yesterday's test questions, and found that the policy questions in them far exceeded the difficulty of the previous questions. He's not the one to make the question, but he also understands what that means.

"It's too difficult to ask for a question, so that the vast majority of people won't do it, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of people who fish in troubled waters on weekdays."

"This test question is from this official. As for the last two strategies, they were also added according to the meaning of the Eight Sages in the court. As for whether those who fish in troubled waters will be on the list, I think that when the time comes, the strategies of the top ten people in each town will be handed over to the official for review, and it will be clear at a glance. ”

When everyone heard Chen Yang say this, they were all silent. Especially the official who asked the question just now was silent and no longer spoken. They all understand that this year's imperial examination in Liangzhou, whether it is the academy examination organized by the official school, the joint examination organized by the Scholar Division, or the county examination, all have the influence of the Eight Sages in the court.

This also means that the Eight Sages King's every move directly affects the Liangzhou region, what kind of imperial examination method will be implemented, which naturally includes the difficulty of the test paper and the choice of content.

"One more article will be released, and the list will be released on October 15!"

Chen Yang's words changed, as if he was explaining something.

"I hope that all of you will do your best to give me statistics on the results of the college examinations in each town as soon as possible. At the end of the month, this official will be summarized and sent to the county clerk's department! Remember, this is a revolution movement, and there is no room for error! ”

"Humble rank understands!"

As soon as Chen Yang's words fell, everyone clasped their fists to show their understanding.

The text of the county clerk's department was quickly distributed to the various towns to which it belonged. Almost every student who participated in the college examination is looking forward to October 15. Of course, Qin Yi is no exception.

Fifteen days is not too long, and it is not too short. For some, it may be a blink of an eye; For others, it's like years. But in any case, these mentalities depend on the students' attitudes towards this college examination, and also reflect their usual seriousness.

Qin Yi belongs to the latter, but he is not because of his attitude, nor because he is not serious, but because he is worried. The article "Unofficial Policy: The Official System and the Family" involves too many hidden drawbacks that cannot be known to outsiders. He was afraid that such a policy would be given a low score by the grading teacher, so that he would not be on the list.

Therefore, Qin Yi's fifteen days can be said to have passed in worry, and the days are like years!

Fortunately, this day has finally arrived!

On October 15, on the brown gate of Bailu Academy, a large red piece of paper was filled with the names of 100 students. These names, from top to bottom, are arranged in order, and these orders also mean the ranking of students.

That's right, this big red paper is the list of college exams!

"Let me look for it, yes, this son is the thirteenth!"

"Who is this? I was so lucky, just the hundredth place! It's just that the one behind him is a pity! ”

"If you don't get into the top 100, it means that you can't step into the imperial examination, and you can only wait for next year's college examination to start over! This road is too cruel, and only a few people can reach the end and enter the Great Pilgrimage. ”

On the street in front of Bailu Academy, hundreds of students gathered, including Qin Yi, who came here today to see the list.

Some people are naturally extremely happy to see their rankings and enter the top 100. And some other students did not see their names on the list, and the expressions on their faces were extremely gloomy.

Being on the list means that you can continue on the road of the imperial examination, and being on the list means that you need to wait for another year.

As we all know, time waits for no one. The best years of youth are naturally between fifteen and thirty years old, and the best age for the imperial examination is fifteen to twenty.

After the weak crown, if he can't pass the academy examination, it basically means that the road to the imperial examination is not with him.

This is not a rule, but a kind of general knowledge, to use Qin Yi's modern language to describe, that is, after the age of twenty, some thinking has become a fixed pattern, and it is difficult to discover thinking again.

Moreover, at the age of twenty, the man is already an adult, and he is about to start a family, so he no longer has much energy to spend on the imperial examination. Therefore, people will conventionally believe that if they do not pass the academy examination before the age of 20, there is basically no need to continue on the road of the imperial examination.

Of course, there are exceptions to this! It's just that these exceptions are not common!

"Aha, I saw Xue Gui's ranking, and it was really the same as expected!"

"No, I don't believe it, the number one is actually Qin Yi! This, there must be something wrong! ”

Some people saw Qin Yi's ranking, and their faces immediately became difficult to look at!

"It is said that his strategy is not favored by the masters who read the papers!"
