There are about 100,000 people in the whole county, and about 50,000 people, excluding children and women, meet the test criteria. However, most of the children of poor families can't afford to read at all, and it is very good that 2,000 people can go to the exam for those who are literate and literate, because there is no entry standard for the current township examination, so if the exam is blank or those who can't write a word, they will be directly entered into the blacklist to prevent someone from maliciously making trouble. However, the admission quota is extremely demanding, it is one out of a hundred, so the competition is quite fierce, even if Ye Chen has a literary level that is thousands of years ahead of here, he has to be cautious.

Because of the large number of people, the county government allows people living outside the county to enter the examination room one day in advance, but they cannot come out after entering, and they are not allowed to communicate with people at will. Soldiers will be assigned to supervise and prevent cheating.

Ye Chen booked a carriage in advance for transportation, after all, it takes an hour to walk to the examination room on Changqing Street, plus the silver ticket that Fang Xing gave him not long ago, Ye Chen doesn't care much about money now.

"Qian'er, get up, and go to the examination room with my brother in a while." As soon as it was dawn, Ye Chen got up and made breakfast, called Zhang Qian to get up, and then cleaned up his things by himself.

"Okay, brother. I'll be right away. Zhang Qian said in a daze.

In less than twenty minutes, Zhang Qian got dressed and came to Ye Chen after eating by the way, "Brother, Qian'er has finished eating, let's go." ”

"Are you full so fast?" Ye Chen said.

"I'm full, I drank a bowl of porridge, and I also ate two big steamed buns and a chicken leg." Zhang Qian said with a smile. Zhang Qian is very happy now, her brother seems to have changed since he came back that day, he has become much more confident than before, and he is getting more and more powerful. When she beat that young master of the Fang family that day, she was stunned. Zhang Qian now eats very well every day and buys several new clothes, which was unimaginable three months ago. Zhang Qian feels that her brother is the best brother in the world.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Chen took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and walked outside, and the carriage was already waiting at the door.

It was just February, and although it was not yet fully bright, it was already almost seven o'clock, and it was already half past seven when I arrived at the examination room. There are a lot of people on the street today, and the officers and soldiers on patrol are also everywhere to prevent anyone from making trouble, Ye Chen asked the carriage to stop at the gate of the county government and wait for him to finish the exam.

Ye Chen got out of the car and said to Zhang Qian in the car: "Qian'er, you stay here today, no one dares to bully you here, if you are sleepy, you will sleep, and I will come back in half a day at most." ”

"Well, brother don't worry, Qian'er will definitely be obedient." Zhang Qian said.

Ye Chen walked to the door of the examination room opposite the county government and took out his own way to let the guards at the door test, and after the inspection, the guards also searched Ye Chen, although Ye Chen didn't like to be touched by a few men, but he also knew that it was inevitable, so he had to endure it. After entering, someone led Ye Chen and gave him a sign, which was 777, indicating that his test number was 777. Ye Chen found that there were at least one or two thousand people here, with a distance of two meters between people, and only a table and a stool. There is a hut every kilometer, and every two or three people are guarded by a soldier, and if they are caught cheating, they are taken out and disqualified from the exam.

After a while, the sky was bright. Ye Chen originally thought that there would be a county magistrate or an examiner to speak or something, but in the end he found that there was nothing, but at nine o'clock, someone began to send out rolls.

After Ye Chen opened it, he found that there were two test papers, and the introduction of the questions on the test questions was also very simple, the first test paper was for the test poems, and the candidates were asked to use the side plug to make a poem, and the words could also be used. No plagiarism, no off-topic. The second test paper is what should be done if the Qin State unites other countries to attack the Qi State now.

This test question made Ye Chen a little speechless, should this exam be easy or difficult. If it is simple, these questions can be answered even if you have just read a book, but the difficulty lies in how to satisfy the examiner after answering, after all, if you take one out of a hundred, if there are no bright spots, there is no hope of passing. Thinking of this, Ye Chen was also a little lucky, fortunately, it wasn't the exam three-character scripture, thousand-character essay, Analects or something, otherwise he really wouldn't be one. Then I began to recall the poems I had learned in school.

Poetry is easy to write, and there are countless poems that describe the border plug in ancient times, such as what to do in the army, Liangzhou words, out of the plug and so on.

Ye Chen thought for a while and chose the Liangzhou word of Wang Han of the Tang Dynasty. Writing about the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, I immediately urged if I wanted to drink the pipa. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. This poem is a famous song of the cold scene. The whole poem writes about a feast in the hard and desolate Biansai, and depicts the scene of the soldiers drinking and getting drunk to their heart's content, which is very popular.

The second test paper was a little difficult for Ye Chen, and the memory in his mind told him that thousands of years ago, because of the orc invasion, the Seven Kingdoms gave up the open and secret struggle and began to unite against the orcs, and this alliance has been maintained until now, is this the time to start a civil war again.

Ye Chen didn't think that he could impress the examiner by writing casually, and suddenly he thought of a sentence in the Three Kingdoms: The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, looking at the original history, Qin destroyed the six countries, and the world was unified. Wei, Shu, and Wu returned to Jin. The Jin Dynasty was chaotic by the Five Dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties stood side by side, etc. Ye Chen began to write that it was normal for Qin or other countries to attack Qi, the so-called general trend of the world would be divided for a long time, and the seven kingdoms would be tied for so many years all because of the existence of orcs, if the orcs were destroyed, war was only a matter of time.

In this way, Ye Chen wrote thousands of words freely, and after writing, Ye Chen began to check his test papers. After almost two months of practice, Ye Chen's brush writing level has risen sharply, although he is not a calligrapher, but he can be regarded as a small calligrapher, because he was a soldier, Ye Chen's words always make people feel that there is something special contained in it. After making sure that everything was not wrong, Ye Chen wrote his number on it and notified the soldier next to him, and the soldier led him to leave the examination room, as for the rest of the things, he didn't need to think about it, just wait patiently.

Because it only took two hours for Ye Chen to answer the questionnaire, as soon as he came out, he was surrounded by a bunch of people asking him if he was caught cheating or something. Although the township test can be submitted in advance, everyone will not leave until the last bell rings in the evening, and there has not been a single one who has been submitted in advance for decades, unless it is cheating or sudden illness or something.

"Look who knows this person, he cheated on exams and deserves to be caught." Someone next to him said.

"I know, this is Ye Chen, the orphan on Changqing Street, there was no news about his father joining the army since he was a child, his mother died, and he never read at all. I don't think he's cheating, he's not going to put it at all. Another person said.

"This kind of person still comes to take the township exam, it's really a waste of the examiner's energy, and he should be blacklisted."

"Yes, this kind of person is simply a waste of the country's resources, but I heard that his sister is quite good, and the young master of the Fang family will go"

"Shhhhh

Ye Chen didn't think that he was just worried about Qian'er's safety, and he was talked about like this when he came out early. This group of people is really rich in association. Ye Chen ignored these people, squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the carriage, and saw that Zhang Qian was still in the carriage, and his heart was steady.
