Luoyang City, the surrounding counties and counties are full of talents gathered in Luoyang, there are as many as 1,000 people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info talent shortage in various places, and officials are urgently needed to operate, so Liu Wei waved his hand and immediately ordered the imperial examination to begin.

It was late May, and the weather was sunny and breezy on this day.

On the school field of the Luoyang military camp, there are more than 1,000 tables, on which the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are fully placed.

Papermaking has been around for a long time, but the paper is extremely rough and costly, so it cannot be used at all.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun improved papermaking and made paper from tree bark, etc., and there were some improvements in quality, but it was not too popular, but it gradually began to replace bamboo slips.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the society was dark, and papermaking did not develop much, and when it really began to be popularized, it was still the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Liu Wei considered that during the imperial examination, if the examination was conducted with bamboo slips, a large number of bamboo slips would be consumed, and marking the papers would be time-consuming and laborious. If you use cloth, it will be too wasteful.

But at this time, the paper could not be manufactured on a large scale, and the quality was not good, so Liu Wei gritted his teeth and spent two hundred points in the system mall to buy the manufacturing method of rice paper.

So Liu Wei followed the Han Shu and Mo Dao, and had a great invention, following Cai Lun, once again improved the papermaking technology, so that paper was really popularized on a large scale.

As a result, later generations evaluated Liu Wei, after the great statesman and the great military strategist, there was another glorious title of great inventor.

For Liu Bian's wisdom, a group of civil and military officers have been surprised, after Liu Bian took out the papermaking technique, Cai Yong and other civil officials hurriedly summoned the craftsmen who had just been recruited to start papermaking.

Sure enough, the papermaking technique that Liu Wei came up with can make exquisite rice paper just by using tree bark and other materials. This rice paper is not only extremely white, but also moderately thin and thick, and also exudes a fragrance of herbs and trees.

"Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make books out of this rice paper? This fragrance, reading books, should be able to refresh people's hearts! Cai Yong held the rice paper in his hand and said excitedly.

Liu Bian's expression moved, yes, now that there is rice paper, when the time comes to buy printing, books are not only owned by the family, and the cultural monopoly will end.

"Alas, if you copy books, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to popularize!" Ding Guan shook his head and said.

Liu Wei smiled inexplicably and said: "Don't worry, I'm afraid that soon, paper books will be able to replace Jianshu, after the two of you said, I thought of a way to quickly make books!" ”

As soon as the rice paper came out, Liu Wei immediately used it for the imperial examination.

On the Luoyang Military Academy, more than 1,000 students stand, each holding a number plate, on which there are some of their own names and numbers assigned in advance. What is used is the number of Han created by Liu Bian.

Each student is supervised by the army, and there is a long queue.

Xun You is equivalent to an invigilator, standing in front of the long queue and reviewing his identity.

"No. 1 Zhang Yi, No. 1 District!"

"Thank you, Lord Xun!" In the first row of the line, a young man in white saluted Xun You respectfully and walked into the first seat in Area 1.

Xun You nodded and continued: "No. 2 Shen Feng, No. 2 Block 1 in District 1!" ”

"No. 3 Wu Wei, No. 3 block in District 1!"

“……”

"No. 432, Guo Jia, Block 32 of District 4!" Xun You read the name, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you, Lord Xunyou!" A clear voice sounded, but there was not much respect in the words, and there seemed to be a bit of teasing in it.

Guo Jia was dressed in coarse black clothes, a young man of about twenty years old, with a light beard on his lips, and his clothes were very neat, but there was a smell of alcohol on his body. He looked delicate and handsome, and his eyes were extremely bright and full of wisdom, but the skin on his face was slightly pale.

"Ahem!" Guo Jia coughed lightly.

"Let's get in!" Xun You's eyes showed a sense of hatred that iron could not become steel.

Although Guo Jia is extremely intelligent, his behavior is frivolous, his physique is weak, but he is good at drinking.

The students and soldiers behind him, looking at Guo Jia's excessive drinking, had a look of disdain in their eyes.

Guo Jia didn't care, carried the number plate in his hand, and strode into the examination room.

"No. 562, Yu Yunwen, Block 62 of District 5!"

"Thank you, Lord Xunyou!" Yu Yunwen is a young man of about twenty-five, with a tall figure, dressed in green clothes, quite elegant. He saluted respectfully to Xun You, and then walked into the examination room.

Xun You nodded with satisfaction, among the wise men, they have the wisdom to know people, Xun You saw Yu Yunwen's appearance, ecology, actions, and whether the words were appropriate, and knew that this person was talented, and he was by no means under himself.

"It seems that Feng Xiao has met an opponent, if he behaves solemnly, it is better to say, behaving like Meng Lang, I'm afraid Your Majesty himself Cai Gong and they don't like it!" Xun You sighed in his heart.

"No. 701, Block 1 of District 7!"

"One thousand and twenty-four, one hundred and twenty-four in the tenth district!"

More than 1,000 people entered the examination room one after another, Xun You drank the water handed by the attendant, moistened his hoarse throat, and walked into the examination room.

In this imperial examination, the chief examiners of the prison were Ding Guan, Cai Yong, Xun You, and Xun You's uncle and nephew assisted from the side.

Cai Yong, Ding Guan and the two, not to mention anything else, old-fashioned, upright but Liu Wei admired, and with the two of them invigilated, Liu Wei was a hundred at ease.

More than 1,000 students sat down, and one by one the soldiers of the Han Army distributed the exam papers to the table, which was written by Liu Wei and Cai Yong Ding Guan and others in advance, and even Xun You and others did not know the content.

The exam time is divided into two days, the first day is the basic skills such as Moyi, the scriptures, and the Ming arithmetic, and the second day is the real talent and practical learning such as the test strategy and poetry.

The examination papers were written in advance, written by Cai Yongding, and the examination papers were distributed, and there was neat rice paper for answering questions.

The other group of students was surprised not by the exam papers, but by the rice paper, the white rice paper, and the fragrance emitted on it.

"Interesting, first it was a whimsical imperial examination, and now it's this rice paper, it seems that Your Majesty really has the confidence to go against the family? The trip was worth it! Guo Jia's eyes lit up and muttered.

And Yu Yunwen saw the rice paper, and there was surprise in his eyes, but he was steady, and after being surprised, he began to study ink and answer questions. Cai Yong, who was incarnated as a modern invigilator on the side, nodded in admiration.

After a burst of admiration, everyone put pen to paper and answered the question.

Moyi, the Book of Scriptures, etc. contain a wide range of topics, some of which are from various scriptures, some are Analects, some are Han Feizi, and some are even the Art of War.

The children of the family are okay, there are many books in the family, and many questions can be answered although they have a wide range of machines. It's just that some of them have a bad memory and comprehension ability, and although they answer, there are a lot of mistakes, and the understanding of the meaning is not right.

And the children of the poor family have not many books to access, and Cai Yong's family has countless books, and many people have never heard of them. Many children from poor families are so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks, and they don't know where to start.

And Yu Yunwen is also from a poor family, and there is a topic that Yu Yunwen has never seen. However, Yu Yunwen was not in a hurry, first carefully finished writing other serious topics, and was looking at this problem.

Yu Yunwen pondered for a while, and finally wrote out the meaning of it, and finally marked a few big words: "Students have no chance to read this book, and the answer is only their own understanding." ”

On the other side, Guo Jia, after writing all the exam questions, was also stumped by Yu Yunwen's same question.

"Which book is this, I want Guo Fengxiao to read thousands of volumes, but I was stumped by a topic?" Guo Jia touched his nose and muttered.

However, Guo Jia is not a person who admits defeat, and after tasting it carefully, he writes down his own opinions. However, he did not make a mark like Yu Yunwen. (To be continued.) )
