No one expected that the content of the exam would be so complex, let alone that the preparation for the exam would be so simple.

Candidates who had prepared a lot of things had to remove the extra things after they went back, so as not to be disqualified from the exam when they got it, which would be embarrassing.

Knowing the content of the exam, it turned out that there were two days, but the candidates suddenly felt that there was not enough time at all. Naturally, books on arithmetic have also been robbed, and many candidates even think that they will focus on this in the exam two days later. The candidates who only read the scriptures and thought that they were in control of the victory became not calm at the moment.

Only the students of Huiji Academy are really calm, their courses cover Chinese and mathematics, geography knowledge, and even involve some simple tactics of war, which may be a bit of a mouthful, but their ability to take the exam is much stronger than others.

After two days of review and preparation, the candidates carried a basket containing two or three brushes, one or two pieces of ink and an inkstone, and prepared some dry food conditionally, after all, they were a little distrustful of the so-called meals provided by the government.

The examination room in the suburbs is like a small city, and it is hard to imagine that it was temporarily erected for this scientific expedition. What really made the candidates look solemn was that the periphery of the examination room was actually covered with soldiers, and at first glance they were the elite of a hundred battles.

"Did you see the general? I followed Chu Gong two days ago, in other words, these soldiers who were guarding the periphery of the examination room this time are probably the elite of the Guards! Jiang Wan pointed to Xu Chu standing at the entrance, and said to Pan Jun and Han Song beside him.

"I heard that the guards under the command of Duke Chu, every one of them is a practicing Qi soldier, and now it seems that it is really extraordinary!" Pan Jun replied when he heard this.

"Speaking of which, isn't it precisely because Duke Chu asked the soldiers to practice Qi that this is why both the army of the imperial court and the army under Yuan Shao are working hard to form a team of soldiers to practice Qi. The method of practicing Qi is no longer as expensive as before, at least the cheats and martial arts that are not included in the product have gradually appeared on the market. Han Song sighed.

In the past, the method of practicing Qi was completely the patent of the family, and the soldiers of the family were able to stand out from many soldiers, largely because their strength far exceeded that of mortals after practicing Qi. But now their advantages are gone, those poor families who originally relied on a no-quality cheats or martial arts to maintain their families, and even small families, are now no different from ordinary people.

"Okay, now is not the time to discuss this, it's time to go in......" Seeing that it was their turn to be inspected, Jiang Wan was worried that the words of the two would be heard by Xu Chu, which would cause the other party to be dissatisfied and eliminate them directly, so he immediately reminded.

When the two heard this, they immediately stopped talking nonsense, and lined up silently, and it was their turn to be inspected in a short time.

"Let's go inside!" The special sergeant checked their belongings and made sure that there were no entrainments, no cheat sheets, and no other paper or text carriers, and then let them in.

"Well, Duke Chu has a saying, don't entrain, you really can't be the wind in your ears?" Jiang Wan and the three of them just came in, but not long after, they heard a loud shout from behind, Xu Chu directly lifted up a candidate, tore his clothes, and exposed the inside of his clothes, which actually had a lot of fly-headed letters written on it, which was obviously a cheat sheet.

"Investigate his exam number and register it!" Xu Chu directly threw it to the little officials beside him, and then commanded.

When each candidate decides to take the exam, he or she must first register, and then get a test number after registering with the guide. The road guide has their place of origin and name, as well as a description of the candidate's appearance, at least to ensure that there are no mistakes to the greatest extent.

"Xiaosheng is wrong, I will give up this exam, begging adults not to register......" When the candidate heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and he immediately begged bitterly.

"Gong Chu has already warned you and the others, the purpose is not to let you make such a low-level mistake. The court employs people, what you want is real talent and real learning, otherwise you will be in charge of the government by cheating, which is irresponsible to the local people! Don't you understand? You may not only harm yourself, but also the people you rule in the future! Princess Chu is on the political side, so she naturally has to be responsible for the people, how can an existence like you be spared? ! Xu Chu seemed to have a draft, and immediately shouted angrily.

The little official immediately registered and made a book, and he really didn't give any affection. The candidate only felt dizzy and suddenly felt that his life was bleak. Many people cheat in exams, in fact, it is not that they have no real talent, but they lack enough self-confidence. They believe that cheat sheets give them confidence, even if they may not need them.

However, this will definitely not be a reason for them to cheat, and Li Ming still values it very much for the first scientific expedition.

For a while, some suspicious candidates suddenly secretly left the team. Some came back some time later, apparently disposing of the cheat sheets; Some of them have no real talent and are going to use cheat sheets to get by, and they take the opportunity to run away.

Of course, Xu Chu also noticed this kind of person, but Li Ming said that there was no need to kill them all, and he didn't bother to care about it.

Exam admission, according to the test number into the venue, the test number is relatively high, the equipment of the compartment is more perfect, on the contrary, the back, it seems a lot simpler, the examination room after the fifth thousand, just a few planks and mats set up.

"Don't be surprised, such a scientific expedition of more than 5,000 people is just like that. See those stone-built exam rooms over there? After this time, except for those, the other examination rooms will be demolished, and naturally they don't need to be built so well. The examiner who brought them into the examination room was actually Zhang Mo, looking at the puzzled eyes of the candidates and explaining to them.

The candidates breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and thought that Li Ming was going to divide the candidates into three, six, nine and so on, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

When I entered the examination room, I found that there were soldiers patrolling all around, and there was a soldier outside every two examination rooms. At the same time, I was also told that if I had a question, I could raise my hand to ask questions, but I couldn't make a loud noise, I couldn't talk to each other, I was warned for the first time, and I was disqualified from the exam twice.

"Well, this can also ensure the fairness of the scientific expedition to the greatest extent!" Meng Jian nodded, I heard that Li Ming had been preparing for five or six years in order to prepare for the scientific examination, and it seemed that this was true.

In fact, the real preparations, from the beginning of the sale of cheap books five or six years ago, to the establishment of basic enlightenment courses, the guerrilla war between Li Ming and the family lasted for several years, so that the number of scholars in the poor family skyrocketed. Rao is like this, there are still not many people who have the ability to participate in the scientific examination.

The biggest gain is that the literacy rate has increased from 23% to 32%, and the literacy rate of the poor family has increased from 7% to 12% today, which is higher than the increase in the literacy rate of the children of the family.

Whether it's dealing with cheating or proctoring the exam system, these can be used for reference. Meng Jian kept all these things in his mind and planned to go back and report them to the imperial court. Anyway, Li Ming also said that they are here as a pilot, and in the end, they want to promote it nationwide in the future, and the key is that Liu Ting is also very interested in this scientific expedition, and he is afraid that it will really be promoted nationwide.

Seeing that the clock rang at the second quarter of the hour, a lot of small officials came out one after another, took out a stack of exam papers, and distributed them to all the candidates. At the same time, there was a blank paper marked with the words "answer sheet" and a blank sheet printed with the words "scratch paper". The little official said that the answer to the exam should be written in the corresponding position of the 'answer sheet', and if it is damaged, it should be reported and taken again, and the 'scratch paper' is theoretically infinitely available, but it cannot be wasted.

"Wow!" After getting the exam paper, Zhang Song looked at the content on it and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
