Not long after, the method of starting the second list, according to the requirements of Zhang Mo and Xu Chu, the candidates who had already been determined to be on the list withdrew from the periphery one after another, looking at the candidates who were still in the field, and there was inevitably a little envy or jealousy in their eyes.

"The previous list was fifth, and now it's the fourth list!" Zhang Mo shouted, and then a small official posted the new list, compared with the fifth list, the number of people on the fourth list is actually more.

"The fourth person on the list is Xiucai, which is different from the traditional Maocai of the Han Dynasty, and Xiucai represents the privilege that you can see the official in the future and not worship! In the future, when you see an official, you can call yourself a 'student', unless one day you commit a crime and you are expelled from school. You will be granted the status of graduating from Huiji Academy, in other words, you will skip this stage of childhood.

According to the meaning of Chu Gong, there will be a hospital examination in May every year in the future, which will be held in each county and county, and only children can participate, and those who pass can obtain the status of 'Xiucai'. Chu Gong asked me to tell you that the future scientific examination will be once every three years, and this year's examination, then there will be another scientific examination three years later, which will also be conducted in August, but the release date will be earlier, after all, only you talents can participate in the scientific examination at that time.

Xiucai's privilege is not only in terms of not worshipping officials, Xiucai's family can enjoy a 5-year tax-free subsidy when doing business. If you farm, you will be exempt from tax, but if you do something 'treacherous', you will be expelled from school, you should be aware of this. These privileges can be enjoyed by you at the age of 50, and only your generation can enjoy them. At the same time, you can receive 100 catties of grain as a subsidy every month in the government government with your Xiucai student status until you are 50 years old. ”

"Wow!" All the candidates, including the candidates who failed on the periphery, suddenly exclaimed, they didn't expect Xiucai to have such a privilege. Even those who were born as children regretted it a little, why don't you work hard, maybe you will soar to the sky.

"In addition, in the future, the county officials of each county will only recruit Xiucai to serve as the official, in other words, Xiucai is the minimum standard for entering the government!" Xun Di walked out slowly and solemnly announced.

"Yikes!" A group of candidates suddenly exclaimed again, they didn't expect that they would be qualified to serve as county officials if they were talented in the examination.

"In addition, the top 10 people who scored in the exams will post their exam papers for you to see! The same goes for the other three lists! Xun Di continued, and then a small official began to take out a few wooden boards, on which were pasted thirty answer sheets.

"Alright, you'll see later! Those who have already won the show, stand back! Zhang Mo looked at them and was about to come up and shouted.

The candidates began to sober up in their excitement and then retreated with a smile. Those who have already won the show, behind the proud, enjoy those who have failed the list, and the candidates who have only won the children's students, the envious or jealous gaze.

"It's third now!" Yu flipped out, "These three lists are official lists, as I said earlier, the scientific examination will be held once every three years in the future, but it is not that simple!" In August of each third year in the future, the township examination will be held in each county and county, and only the talent can participate, and the qualified person will enter Wanling in March of the following year to compete and determine the candidates; When the candidates enter the government, the Chu Guild will personally ask you, this stage is called the palace examination, and it will naturally be Your Majesty to complete this step in the future.

It's just that this is the first imperial examination, and many things have not been perfected, so not to mention that this step is completed by Chu Gong, many steps have also been simplified. Otherwise, only those who pass the palace examination will enter the top three and obtain the title of 'Jinshi'. However, those who can try to pass the test can also get a 'lifter' status, and they can go to remote areas to serve as county officials, or give priority to serving as county officials and county officials, and there may not be no possibility of becoming officials. But this time, the situation is a little different, and the third list of the three lists is the list of people! ”

After Yu finished speaking, naturally a small official posted the third list, and hundreds of places were on it. The candidates stepped forward one after another, and when they saw their names, they were inevitably a little disappointed at the same time, especially when Xu Shu saw his name on the list, he didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.

He is very aware of his ability, and as far as the exam questions are concerned, it is normal that he has limited study time and cannot get good grades.

"Lift people...... It's ...... "People are self-aware, and Xu Shu is already very satisfied with this result." Didn't Yu Flip say that even if he raised people, he could become an official.

"The one who lifts the people!" Yu Fu continued, "Not to mention the power to enjoy Xiucai, you can receive 10 silver coins as a subsidy every month until you are 60 years old. A wooden torii is allowed to be set up at the street corner or pavilion where people live, which is used to encourage the villagers to study hard. At the same time, the sister-in-law can directly enter the academies in each county and county, and if conditions permit, the academies will be opened in the county one after another, so as to facilitate students to study nearby. ”

"Wow!" The candidates immediately shouted again, you can set up a memorial arch in the township, that is a big event to glorify the ancestors! The key is that the son-in-law can directly obtain the qualification of a child, so that he can work a lot less.

In fact, the rest are smart people, and everyone can see that this child is very easy to pass, so it's nothing. It's just that there are more people, the pressure of competition is greater, the big waves are washing, and the rest is the essence.

Immediately, under Yu Xuan's instructions, the test papers of the top ten with the best scores were naturally posted. Compared with Xiucai's answer sheet, the content is much more substantial, and it can be seen that the more comprehensive the knowledge level, the better the test score may be. Sure enough, there is no simple one who can lift people in the exam.

"Next up is the second list!" Zhang Zhao walked out, "According to the original meaning, after the palace examination, the top three will be determined, and they will be awarded the three identities of 'Jinshi and First', 'Jinshi Origin' and 'Tongjinshi Origin' respectively. The court selects people, the further forward it is, the more priority conditions there are, but as long as you pass the palace examination, congratulations, you are a 'jinshi'. As for this time, only the honor of 'Jinshi and No.' will be awarded, and as for the first list...... You'll know later. ”

The number of people on this list is much smaller than the number of lifters, but it is still a lot. Everyone hurriedly went up to watch, but the rest of these people were almost sure that they were on the list.

"Hit, hit!" A fifty-year-old man was suddenly overjoyed, and he had been studying hard for more than 40 years, just because he was born in a poor family and was not able to reach the rank of 50 years old, and the hard life was finally over.

"I know you're happy, but don't be so happy, winning the list only means that you have the qualifications to be officials. If you become an official, it is a new starting point. See no, this list is different from the previous one, and it is completely ranked according to your test scores. The first fifty will enter Wanling to serve as Lang Guan, as in the case of the Han Dynasty, you will serve as Lang Guan for three years, and then according to your talents, you will be assigned a suitable official position. As for those who are not fifty, they can only be sent out as officials, or county officials, or county commanders, and you must be mentally prepared.

Jinshi also has the benefits of Jinshi, in the hometown can set up a stone archway, at the same time three generations are exempt from agricultural tax, can shade two heirs for children, and can directly apply for the Huiji Academy. You can receive 20 silver coins per month from the government until you reach the age of 70. ”

"Thank you for your grace!" I don't know who shouted, but the other candidates who won the Jinshi shouted one after another.

Zhang Zhao didn't talk nonsense, just nodded, and then instructed the little official to take out the top ten exam papers and post them.

"Last list!" Cai Yong walked in, "There are only three people, they are the champion of this scientific expedition, Bangyan and Tanhua!" ”

Three? When the candidates who had already returned heard this, they immediately looked at the seven people who remained in the field, obviously there were seven people, why were only three admitted? Not to mention them, even the seven people who remained in the field couldn't help but be surprised.

"Speaking of which, when I took the exam before, a regrettable thing happened!" Cai Yong coughed lightly, "After answering the question, five candidates forgot to write their names on the answer sheet, we can't judge which exam paper is which, after unanimous consultation, the candidates who forgot to write their names on the answer sheet will be dealt with." In other words, if there is no name on the first list, it will be regarded as equivalent to falling off the list! ”

"Ahh The candidates suddenly exclaimed, they thought that seven people were competing on the same stage, but who knew that five of them actually forgot to write their names. This is a big oolong, the key is this sad. I thought it was a dragon, but who knew it was not as good as a worm.

"Five exam papers without their names written, we also posted them, and we recognized them as our own exam papers, so we can withdraw them, so as not to wait for embarrassment!" Under Cai Yong's orders, a small official soon took out the exam paper without a name.

Many people stepped forward, but when they found their exam papers, their faces suddenly changed, and they left gloomily. The key is that they saw a well-written exam paper, the answers on it were perfect, and they also failed because they didn't write their names, and they didn't even have the courage to complain, so they could only leave gloomily. Fortunately, these four people have not reached the age of thirty-five, and there will be opportunities in the future.

Looking back, it turned out that there were still three people left in the field, and it was strange. There are obviously five exam papers, why are there still three left?

"It seems that one of them is still self-aware and left early?" Cai Yong nodded, that guy was obviously a spy sent by the imperial court, so it was naturally impossible to expose himself.

Xu Shu also knew very well that one of the five exam papers must be Meng Jian's. At this moment, the other person should still be there, but he is afraid that when the first batch of candidates returns, he will follow.

"Now, the old man personally announces the list of the first list of the imperial examination this time!" Cai Yong took a piece of paper and read it slowly, "The third place in this scientific examination, that is, this Tanhua, is a native of Shanyang, Yanzhou; The second place in this scientific examination, that is, the eye of this list, is Zhang Song, a native of Chengdu, Shu County; The first place in this scientific examination, that is, the champion of this time, is Jiang Wan from Xiangjiang, Lingling County! ”

Then he clapped his hands, and a small official led out three white horses, and a silk red flower hung on the neck of the white horse. When the little official led the white horse in front of the three of them, Cai Yan continued: "According to the meaning of Duke Chu, please ask the three candidates to get on the horse!"

Later, there will be a small official in front of the road, but three but in this Wanling City to go around, the small official kept beating gongs and drums, telling the people of Wanling that the three won the top three awards in this scientific expedition! To borrow a remnant poem by Duke Chu, it is 'No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and once you become famous, the world knows'! ”

"Xie Chugong!" The three of them couldn't help but get excited when they heard this, such an honor, only three people are eligible to enjoy it for three years, among which the champion led by the leader is the most dazzling, and it is okay to gain both fame and fortune, this moment makes the three of them feel that all these years of hard study, as well as the exams of the previous three years, are nothing.

"Don't be frustrated, Chu Gong will hold a banquet tonight, and all candidates who are Jinshi and First can go to the banquet! The difference is that the top three can not only eat at the same table as Chu Gong, but all the meals are cooked by Chu Gong himself. Cai Yong looked at the three of them with a smile, the five of them were actually treated the same way, which was Li Ming's reward for their hard work for a month.

"Wow!" When the other candidates heard this, they looked at the eyes of the three of them, and they were even more envious, jealous and hateful.
