The scientific examination is still carried out as scheduled, and as in the past, the candidates have learned about the various rules of the examination room, and have even checked the examination room once.

Just like last time, these candidates still have to take the exam in the open air, not to mention the wide field of vision, and the most important thing is that they can see it at a glance, and hundreds of invigilators walk back and forth, which can eliminate cheating more than the traditional scientific examination of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the most amazing thing is that the exam paper is simple, and the exam time is only two hours, which makes many people a little uncomfortable. At the same time, the water-based pen, which they had been accustomed to since three days ago, made them curious and hard to get used to the hard pen writing.

In the scientific research of the ancients, every word and sentence had to be carefully considered, for fear that there would be mistakes and wrong sentences, which was very fatal. At the same time, whether the sentences are smooth and whether the handwriting is clear and gorgeous is also the key, so they can't help but take it seriously, so they sprinkle thousands of words in a day, which is also the limit.

It can be said that if it weren't for the pre-exam examiner who had made it clear that whether the handwriting was good or not had been eliminated from the scoring rules, this would have made everyone have fewer complaints about the use of hard pens. After all, no one wants to fall off the list for no reason because the handwriting is not beautiful.

On the day of the exam, candidates came out of the test room in droves.

Unlike the first exam, Zhang Hongbin did not designate a certain place as the only examination venue, but set up examination rooms in all prefectures, counties and prefectures. The relevant admission information has been sent to the hands of each candidate, and it is their own choice to choose which examination room to go to, but it is certain that each examination room can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time.

Rao is like this, the examination room here in Chang'an is full of 10,000 people, and these guys are aiming at Chang'an, which is close to the Son of Heaven. To put it bluntly, it is Zhang Hongbin's office.

In their eyes, working by the side of salvation, if you are lucky, you can get a promotion in minutes, and only fools will go to other places to apply for exams. However, there are only 10,000 people in the ranking, and those who sign up slowly are beating their chests, and they are unwilling to look back at the city wall of Chang'an step by step, and go to another country to sign up.

There are also some smart people who took the exam to the more remote areas of Pingliang Mansion and even Yan'an Prefecture to apply for the exam, and there were only a dozen people in the entire examination room. According to the local admission policy, there is a good chance that most of these guys will be admitted. As for the Chang'an examination room, even if the proportion of talented people may reach 99%, only a few people are admitted, and the rest have nothing to consider except for falling off the list.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, Zhang Hongbin will give these self-proclaimed smart talents a chance, as long as the place is not full, he will choose the batch with the best grades among these unsuccessful candidates. It's just that this place, I believe there won't be too many, and at the same time, those students who failed on the list don't know how they will feel when they find that those admitted candidates are even more talented than themselves?

In fact, according to Zhang Hongbin's meaning, the talents of these years are actually unqualified civil servants. Therefore, no matter what the talent is, if you can't experience it at the grassroots level, then you don't have any real talent. On this basis, whether the talent is good or bad, work and study hard during the assessment period of several years, get promoted well, and dismiss if you are bad.

"Brother Li, it seems that there are few people who are as smart as us!" Some candidates made jokes about their fellow villagers.

"Everyone is aiming at Chang'an and the examination rooms near Chang'an, where will we go to a more remote place to apply for the exam? The ridiculous exam rules examiner has been clearly distributed to each of us, but there are still people who think that only when the son of heaven is close to the ministers can there be a higher possibility of promotion. The candidate surnamed Li said with a smile.

"It's just that seriously, this official is not an official, and it is really unaccustomed to it. And there are so many administrative agencies, the power of the original county magistrate has been divided, even if he can be a county order, this is also different from the county order on the Ming side! The fellow said with a little resentment.

"The county order is still the county order, doesn't he have the right to speak? Other departments, as long as they are still assisting the county magistrate in handling affairs, in fact, I also think that if the county magistrate is in charge, the result is that there is no way to put the mind evenly on each place. After all, manpower is limited, and one person can't handle all affairs properly, and if there are some omissions, it is irresponsible to the people under his rule. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to be free? The candidate surnamed Li shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Don't be too happy, I actually have inside information!" A candidate next to him came over at this time, "It is said that after this scientific examination, the so-called civil service examination after that, the results are actually all former officials, and there is no longer any bureau chief and county order." If you want to be promoted in the future, you can only be promoted step by step if you can make achievements in office, and only after passing the assessment can you be promoted step by step. The advantage is that it becomes easy to be promoted, and there is no need to go through the back door, but the disadvantage is that no matter how good you are in the exam, you have to start from the same status as the previous small officials, and there is no longer a situation where you can put it in the Qipin County Order, or enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor or something. ”

"Oh, then, we couldn't have come at the right time!" The candidate surnamed Li said with a smile.

"Be quiet, start the exam now, whoever is noisy again, be careful of being disqualified from the exam!" The examiner finally walked in, and the exam bell rang.

The exam will be held on time, and the future of these 300,000 candidates will be decided in these two days and four hours of examination time. That's really a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops, and those who can walk to the other side are the elites of the times. At least in Zhang Hongbin's eyes, they definitely deserve it.

Ten days later, the test results were posted everywhere.

Those who won the exam rejoiced, and those who failed beat their chests and regretted. It is as if heaven and hell appeared in the human world at the same time, and they are very clearly distinguished.

"Why, I, Chu Tianxiong, actually fell off the list?"

"Haha, Lao Tzu passed the exam, who said that businessmen can't produce talents?!"

"This bullshit exam, I don't know what to do with the mess, look at it, Chen Caizi in Suzhou has fallen off the list, and it is only a matter of course that I am not on the list."

"Father, mother, have you seen it? After studying hard for more than ten years, I finally got in! ”

…………

………………

It doesn't matter if you're happy or sad, or if you're not convinced, anyway, the exam is over, and the candidates who have just been admitted have also begun to go to their respective positions and start their work. On this basis, all the original people have been promoted, of course, they have all been assessed, and those who are unqualified have already been dismissed.

The first batch of people who participated in the scientific examination are now sighing: Lao Tzu is prescient, look at it, he has been promoted in just over a year!

Three days later, the examination situation in various places was summarized one after another, knowing that many talents in the local area were not as good as their own, but because no one applied for the examination and was admitted, more unsuccessful scholars expressed dissatisfaction, and even began to organize in an organized manner, demonstrating and sit-in in front of the yamen of Chang'an Mansion.

It's just that this kind of protest from the people, and it can't hurt the Salvation Army at all, seems to be a joke.

Those who are still sober will not participate in this meditation at all, after all, they understand that the Salvation Army is the Salvation Army, and the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty. The Salvation Army may not eat them, this trick is tried and tested in the Ming Dynasty, and it may be counterproductive here.

In fact, Cao Wenzhao has applied for the transfer of troops to suppress this group of soldiers.

Zhang Hongbin said that there was no need, after all, this situation was too easy to deal with. It is only necessary to read out the discipline and key points of the examination room in public, and at the same time tell them where there are vacancies, and on the same day, a group of candidates with the best scores will be counted, and they will be selected to be admitted exceptionally.

Finally, a note is attached that those who participate in the sit-in and do not leave after learning the news will be disqualified.

As a result, the scholars dispersed, and the so-called sit-in really became a joke.

The situation of candidates from all over the country was also sent to Zhang Hongbin one after another. Perhaps wanting to know whether there is a historical power in it, Zhang Hongbin carefully checked the examination papers of the batch of candidates with good results.

However, many people are indeed talented, but they are not historical powers. It can be seen that the so-called historical power is all because of the impact on history, deducting this, there is actually no shortage of talents of this level in the land of my Shenzhou. At the same time, there is no way to deny that if it were not for the difference in the scientific examination system of the Salvation Army, the difference in the application standards and recruitment standards, I am afraid that more talents will slowly fall silent in the torrent of history.

In the end, he saw a person's name, who was from Qi County, Kaifeng, Henan, and his name was Li Yan. After inviting the internal guard to ask, he learned that this person also had an original name, called Li Xin. After learning this, Zhang Hongbin laughed: "Another historical power has been arrested!" ”
