With a good horse, Zhou Yi was overjoyed, every man wants to have a top car, because this seems to be an extension of men's power, if the court allows the people to have cannons, it is estimated that Zhou Yi may also buy one, because that is also an extension of men's strength.

A good horse is paired with a good saddle, and now Zhou Yi doesn't care about money, he buys whatever is good, and he has always believed that you get what you pay for, so he buys the most expensive ones, which makes the shopkeeper of the harness shop happy.

With mounts, the rest is much easier. In fact, Zhang Zhong meant to let Zhou Yi ride in the carriage with him, but Zhou Yi felt that horseback riding was more fun, as the so-called chic and dashing horses galloping with us Hongchen to share the prosperity of the world...... It's a pity that there is a woman missing.

Another option was to take the boat by water, but Zhou Yi was really not interested in the speed of the boat, so he gave up without hesitation.

When he returned home and saw such a miracle, even Zhou Min, who didn't know anything about it, was amazed.

A day later, in the early morning of the third day of the new year, Zhang Zhong's carriage stopped at the door of the Daguan Tea House. Zhang Zhong entered the backyard and urged: "Brother Heng, hurry up, let's leave as soon as possible." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Zhou Yi had already brought all the things he needed to bring yesterday, and as soon as Zhang Zhong came, he would be able to take the things and be ready to go on the road at any time.

Outside the door, Zhou Sheng said hopefully: "Hengzhi, my Zhou family is famous all over the world, and it depends on you." ”

Zhou Yi nodded slightly and said, "I will work hard." ”

What was surprising was that the Qin clan actually stood behind Zhou Sheng and instructed Zhou Yi: "Be careful on the road." ”

"Yes, I know."

Then, Zhou Yi solemnly instructed Zhou Min: "Sister, I'm going out to take the exam, you have to take care of it at home, just don't wait for me to come back and give me a special surprise." ”

"Don't worry, brother, when did I let you worry about things, although I am not as good as you and have come up with many new tricks, but at least I can hold on to the situation you made." Regarding Zhou Yi's doubts about his ability, Zhou Min expressed great dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "That's good, I also believe very much that you can do things well, you must remember the points I once asked you to insist on, and I will also call Brother Boya's shop to take care of us." ”

Zhang Zhong urged: "Okay, okay, we won't be going for a long time, what are you doing so much, let's go, it's not too early." ”

"Well, then the house will be handed over to you, I'll go." Hearing this, Zhou Yi stepped on the horse, side by side with Zhang Zhong's carriage, and drove out of the city under everyone's attention.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were roughly the same as those in the Tang Dynasty, with regular examinations, system examinations, and martial examinations.

Jinshi is divided into three classes: the first class is called Jinshi and the first; The second class is called Jinshi origin; The third class is given to the same Jinshi background.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was only a two-level examination system. The first level is the examination held by the state, and the first level is the provincial examination held by the Ministry of Rites. In order to select people who are really down-to-earth and talented under feudal rule to serve in official positions and serve them, Song Taizu implemented the palace examination in the sixth year of Kaibao.

Since then, the palace examination has become the highest level of the imperial examination system, and the three-level imperial examination system of the state examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination has been formalized. After the palace examination, there is no need to go through the examination of the Ministry of Officials, and the official is directly awarded. Song Taizu also ordered that after the examination, it was not allowed to call the examiner a teacher or call himself a protégé. In this way, all those who are in rank become protégés of the Son of Heaven. After the palace examination, the list will be released in the top three.

Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong are both children, that is, the legendary Xiucai, and only with this identity can they have the opportunity to participate in the state examination.

"Hengzhi, are you sure that you will come to a Lianzhong Sanyuan?" On the way, Zhang Zhong lifted the curtain of the carriage window and said to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Such a chance is not big, who knows what the person who changed the volume likes, if he doesn't like what I wrote, then what else can I say." ”

He suddenly remembered a joke, so he continued: "You said Lianzhong Sanyuan, but I remembered a joke. There was a person who was about to participate in the imperial examination to go to someone to tell a fortune, and the fortune teller told him that his life was three yuan in a row, and then it was dull. ”

Zhang Zhong interjected and said: "If it is a high school entrance examination, then you can directly become an official, and if you are an idle official, it is indeed quite ......."

"After listening to me, this man was also happy at that time, at least what a great honor it was to win three yuan, so he was very happy to invite someone to dinner, and in the small ticket he requested, he won three one-yuan tickets."

Seeing Zhou Yi shut up, Zhang Zhong asked, "Finished?" ”

"Well, that's it."

Zhang Zhong asked again: "What is a receipt?" ”

Zhou Yi said: "It's a list that you pay after eating, and some people write on it how much you can discount." ”

Zhang Zhong then asked, "How much is that one yuan?" ”

"It's just a penny." Zhou Yi replied.

"Oh."

Zhang Zhong sighed, and then stopped talking, Zhou Yi was very depressed, is it not funny? Or is it that your laughter is too low? Well, actually, these two points mean the same thing.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden burst of earth-shattering laughter in the carriage, Zhang Zhong opened the curtains, and tears came out of his eyes: "Haha, Lianzhong Sanyuan, haha, it's so funny." ”

“……”

I have to say that Zhang Zhong's reflex arc is really long.

Qingshen County is not far from Meizhou, more than sixty miles, so they just enjoyed a barbecue meal by Zhou Yi on the road at noon, and they had already arrived in Meizhou in the evening.

This way, it is not so much a hurry, but a tour of the mountains and rivers. On the way, they also met those who had participated in the meeting on Cimu Mountain some time ago, and everyone gathered around to greet Zhou Yi, and then walked all the way. Therefore, when he set off, there were only two protagonists, Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong, but when he entered Meizhou City, a large team had been formed.

Meizhou is located in the southwest of the Chengdu Plain in the Sichuan Basin, in the middle reaches of the Minjiang River. It is bordered by Chengdu in the north, Leshan in the south, Neijiang, Ziyang and Zigong in the east, and Ya'an in the west.

The establishment of the government began in the third year of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the Qitongzuo County was established in the southern border of Wuyang County, Qianwei County. During the ordinary period of the Southern Liang Dynasty, Qitongzuo County was renamed Qitong County, and Qitong County was built, and the county governance was in the same city.

In the second year of the Taiqing Dynasty, Qingzhou was set up, with jurisdiction over Qitong County and Qitong County.

In the second year of the abolition of the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, Qingzhou was changed to Meizhou, with jurisdiction over Qitong and Qingcheng counties, and the state governed Qitong County.

Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty revoked Qitong County in the second year, and newly placed Anle County, which is now Dongpo Town, still belongs to Meizhou. In the first year of Jiande, Meizhou was changed to Qingzhou. In the first year of Dacheng, Qingzhou was changed to Jiazhou.

Emperor Kaihuang of Sui abolished the county and stored the state in three years. In the second year of Daye, Jiazhou was renamed Meizhou, and the state was relocated to Tongyi County. After withdrawing from the state to build Meishan County, the county governs Longyou.

In the first year of Tang Wude, Meishan County was changed to Jiazhou. In the following year, Meizhou was separated from Jiazhou, and it governed five counties of Tongyi, Danling, Hongya, Nan'an and Qingshen, which belonged to Jiannan Province and governed Tongyi County. In the first year of Tianbao, Meizhou was revoked and Tongyi County was replaced. In the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Tongyi County was revoked and Meizhou was restored, which belonged to Xichuan, Jiannan Province.

In the first year of Song Taiping's rejuvenation of the country, Tongyi County was renamed Meishan County, which belonged to Meizhou on Xichuan Road. The state leads the four counties of Meishan, Pengshan, Danling and Qingshen.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Meishan developed into a city of books and periodicals. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the publishing center in the southwest region moved from Chengdu to Meizhou, and stereotypical printing flourished for a while, forming a peak with Hangzhou and Jianyang, becoming the three major publishing centers in the country. At that time, the style of study was very popular, and many scholars "successively ascended to the court, and were known all over the world for their articles." So the release and the pen inkstone ten rooms and nine, compared to the Han and Wei Dynasty and far surpass."

According to history, in the two Song Dynasty and three hundred years, there were 886 Jinshi in Meishan, of which Su Shi brothers took the Jinshi examination in the year, Meishan recommended nearly 50 candidates, Jinshi and thirteenth. Renzong sighed: "There are many studious people in the world in Meizhou!"

It can be said that everyone including Zhang Zhong and Zhou Yi was proud of themselves when they were born as a son of Meizhou. For Zhou Yi, exams are one of the aspects, and being able to inspect the publications here has become one of the most important things for him besides exams.

Meizhou is naturally called the state, and the city must be much larger than Qingshen County, otherwise it will not conform to the rules, the towering city wall makes people feel awe, and the city gate of the black hole makes people shudder.

However, for those who went into the city to take the exam, the soldiers who defended the city were still very polite, after all, maybe one or some of them would become their bosses in the future, and if they didn't make a good impression, they would really be at home.

Riding into the city, looking at the people around him who were half a height shorter than him, Zhou Yi suddenly remembered Meng Jiao's song "After Dengke":

"In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

It's a pity that it's not spring, and it's not Chang'an.

In the city, the wide roads, the crowded crowds, and the lively shouting are endless. Because of the long journey, everyone was a little tired, so they made an appointment to go to the hall to place their clothes first.

The hall is a place where the scholars who are rushing to take the exam live for free, and it is located next to the state city and county government, and it is one of the best in the state and city in terms of prosperity and strict security.

Came to the hall, handed over the name card, according to the different regions, everyone was assigned to live in different rooms, Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong came together, of course they lived next door.

The hall is a very large courtyard, the entrance is a patio, and there are rooms of the same style built around it, with a total of two floors, although it is not much luxurious, but the treatment is definitely not bad, although Zhang Zhong seems to be a little sneering, but Zhou Yi is already very satisfied with this.

After packing up their things, it was already time to hold the lamp, and the two of them had been on the road for a day, and now they were hungry, so they found a restaurant that was reasonable in size to eat, and then rested without mentioning it.
