The Praetorian Guard of the Duke of Chu was responsible for opening the way, and there were small officials beating gongs and drums in front, announcing the top three of the three high school leaders, and they went around Wanling in this way.

"No one asks about the cold window for ten years, once you become famous and the world knows, you just don't know how to ...... the whole poem" Jiang Wan, who was riding a high-headed horse and enjoying the people's admiration all the way, seemed to understand the true meaning of the remnant poem. Even if he was born in a family and trained in concentration, now that he has suddenly gained fame and fortune, it is inevitable that there is some pride in his eyes.

Not to mention the process of the scientific examination, after the scientific examination, it is connected with the system of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty made the county guards filial piety and honesty, and then entered Luoyang as a lang official, and after a few years, they were assigned posts according to their respective talents, or they were sent abroad to become local county commanders.

On Li Ming's side, the first 100 jinshi served as Lang officials, and after a few years, they were arranged to post or be assigned, which was actually similar.

After a lap, Cai Yongyan held a banquet at the government office an hour later, and asked the candidates to go back to bathe, change clothes, and get ready. The candidates who were admitted to the Jinshi saluted one after another, and then returned to their respective places to prepare.

Those who have not been admitted to the Jinshi, even if they are admitted to the lifting of people, are still in a state of interest at the moment. It's just that Cai Yong warned them before that they would stay here for three days to receive their respective school records, and at the same time, they would also be appointed to official positions after three days, which made them feel a lot better.

As for the candidates who have only been admitted to Xiucai and Tongsheng, they will have to wait here for three days and receive the school registration book before leaving. If you do not come to collect it within 10 days, the student register will be invalid, which is equivalent to giving up the test results. The child is fine, and if he is admitted to Xiucai and does not go to get the school register, it is estimated that he will be blacklisted by the government.

"It's a pity, why didn't I put my name on it?" Back at the hotel, looking at the slightly proud Xu Shu, Meng Jian couldn't help but quip.

"If Brother Gongwei fills in his name, he may not be able to compete with the other three." Xu Shu recognized Meng Jian's talent.

"Hahaha, you're wrong, even if I fill in, I'll still fall off the list!" Meng Jian laughed, "Do you really think that all the people who won the list this time are talented people?" After you left, I looked at those lists, and found that everyone who is qualified has a premise, that is, you can't speak for the imperial court, and you must consider the overall situation from the perspective of the Duke of Chu. In other words, the talent that Duke Chu wants may not be the most talented, but it must be able to be used by him! ”

"This ...... Yuan Zhi really didn't notice ...... "Xu Shu didn't think about this problem either."

"As expected, anyone who insults him and persuades him to surrender to the imperial court will first be scored in the part that fails. It is because a large number of candidates who may be talented are not hired.

Not to mention anything else, this is the case with Dong Xiuzhao (Dong Yun) of Zhijiang in Nanjun, his father Dong He followed Liu Yan into Shu earlier, and now he is even more prominent in the imperial court. Hugh Zhao's position naturally does not allow him to defect to Li Ming, but this time there is no name on the list.

Not to mention Du Ji, a Jingzhao person, he has talent, but he is a Jingzhao person, and he must be on the side of the imperial court when he sees the problem. So his name is not on the list this time. At that time, a few of us were there, and I also listened to the conversation of a few of them, and only then did I understand Li Ming's standard of employing people. ”

"It seems that Duke Chu really has a separatist side, and even swept the world...... You said that there have always been rumors, and even the court is saying that Li Ming is Xiang Yu, is it true? Xu Shu looked at Meng Jian.

"Haha, yes or no? Li Ming's surname is Li Bu's surname, and there is no family help so far, the main helpers are the Xun family and the Wang family who married him, and after hearing that, he also married with the Peng family of Wuyi Mountain, as well as a small family under the Lu family, and the Xuzhou Mi family. These families have influence in the local area, not to mention the influence of the royal lord, and now the royal capital is still serving as the general of Zhenbei in Jiangbei.

The imperial court has to say that after Li Ming is Xiang Yu, it is inevitable that he wants to cover it up. However, even if Li Ming is Xiang Yu, what can he do? Not to mention that he has always emphasized that his surname is Li Bu, but only that now that he has achieved the general trend, it is a big deal to tear open the last fig leaf of the 'Qingjun side', will the people of Jiangdong directly oppose him?

As for the officials below, if they hold a few more such scientific expeditions, I am afraid that those who are in office are all his supporters. The people and officialdom will not be in chaos, and his rule will be solid. Meng Jian analyzed.

"I see, he is preparing for self-reliance in the future!" Xu Shu nodded, "Maybe it's not that simple!" He also seems to intend to tell the world in this way that he is also capable of independence. Cultivate talents. In the future, if the family wants to restrain him in terms of talents, I am afraid that it will be very difficult. You see, he took out so much money and food to subsidize the candidates' studies, and the candidates who have no worries will naturally study hard, and the key is that the books here are so cheap......"

"I regret it a little now, next time I have to take the exam, and the result will have to start from the children's exam." Meng Jian smiled bitterly.

"You go back and report the process of the scientific examination, how can you mix up an official and a half-job, this Jiangdong children's exam, I'm afraid you won't be able to look down on it, right?" Xu Shu teased.

The two joked, Meng Jian said goodbye and left, he should also go back to Chang'an to resume his life. Xu Shu finally stayed, after all, he had become a lifter, even if he didn't want an official position, he had to get the school register.

He didn't plan to be an official so quickly, he was addicted to martial arts in his early years, and now he regrets it. It is rare that Jiangdong has a strong style of learning, especially how many books there are on the Wanling side, and even in the last year or two, there have been private academies and night schools for further study. If he could, he planned to study for a few years to accumulate enough knowledge before he became a professional.

He set a small goal for himself, that is, to get at least one Tanhua in the scientific examination in three years!

An hour soon came, and the candidates gathered in front of the yamen, and with Xu Chu coming in person, he took him into the yamen, only to find that the place had been properly arranged, and the round tables had been placed in place.

Round-table dining is popular in the south, and that's what has become popular in the last four or five years. At the beginning, it was still a separate meal system, and in the end, it was no longer divided, but there would be a pair of chopsticks when picking up vegetables. Speaking of which, there is also a joke that the public chopsticks become private chopsticks.

Fortunately, most of the candidates have already understood the etiquette here, and they are also warning themselves not to make jokes.

The order of admission is according to the examination results from low to high all the way up, and there is also a round table on the top main seat, Li Ming is already sitting on it, next to the five chief examiners of this scientific examination. There are also three other positions, apparently reserved for the top three in the scientific expedition.

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Jiang Wan, Zhang Song and Du Xian slowly sat down, and Jiang Wan sat opposite Li Ming.

The servants brought their meals one after another, and two maidservants at each table were at their side, helping to pour wine and add food. It's just that many people have seen such a scene for the first time, and they are inevitably a little restrained.

"I'm not a giant beast, don't be so nervous, today is a big day for everyone, and it's also a big day for me to get so many talents, for this festive day, you and I have a big deal!" Li Ming raised his glass and shouted.

"Xie Chugong!" The candidates were delighted, quickly got up, and returned the salute, and then everyone drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"If you encourage you, I'll talk about it later, everyone, don't be polite, just eat open!" Li Ming then pointed to the food and smiled.
