"Buckled? Okay, so let's give these snacks to the adults! ”

Qin Yongke didn't know that this was a "stumbling block" given to him by Zhang Shouye, but when he saw the look of the nine-grade petty official, he probably guessed that he was a snack in the food box, so he said with a wry smile.

That's right, although he was put on such a scene by the junior official of the ninth rank in front of him, it really made him feel a little helpless, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Because, these cream cakes that are worth a thousand gold in the eyes of others, in his heart, are just one or two delicious snacks.

Moreover, he did have a few bamboo tubes of food in his hand, as well as some ordinary snacks given to him by the red lady, so there was no problem if it was used to satisfy hunger for these two days.

Therefore, in this case, it is better to be a favor and give it directly to this nine-grade petty official, so as not to make it difficult for him to use any excuses. After all, Hades is a good little ghost.

"Huh? Is this true? As...... So, thank you! Okay, you ...... Get on board! ”

Sure enough, when he heard Qin Yong say that, the physical examiner became happy on the spot.

That's right, although he had already made up his mind just now, he would definitely detain Qin Yong's box of snacks. However, after all, this is an abuse of power, so it is not so easy for him to operate.

Because, in addition to him, the physical examiner, there were several soldiers and small officials at the scene. They know the specific procedures of this physical examination, so to speak, even if you really suspect that Qin Yong is entrained, it is generally necessary to verify it on the spot and find out the truth of the matter, so that people can enter. However, in this case. The snack full of food is estimated to be completely destroyed in the end.

This is not the situation that the junior official of the Nine Grades wants to see, so his original plan was just to beat Qin Yong in, and then give some snacks to those soldiers and officials present, so that it can also be a good way to block their mouths. After all. Since it is a balance of interests, those soldiers and petty officials will have no reason to sue him.

However, in order to do this, it is necessary to divide at least half of the dim sum, although, in the middle. He still took the lion's share, but it was enough to make his heart ache, but there was no way to do it, because if he didn't do it. Once one of those soldiers and officials is not convinced, they only need to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report it, those imperial historians are not vegetarians, and he, a petty official of the ninth grade, is estimated to be the end.

Because, in this era, the rule of officials is relatively clear, although all kinds of things in the secret are still indispensable. However, compared to other times, it is really a lot less.

Among them, the greatest credit is the system of supervision of speech and officials. That is to say, the imperial historians in the Imperial Procuratorate are all people who take the affairs of the world as their own responsibility, and they are all old scholars who are extremely inflexible, and some are just a scholarly spirit. Therefore, as long as it is something that they think is unfair, they will definitely admonish, and it will be over as soon as they admonish. Even the saints of today are afraid of them.

Because in this era of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, the concept of not punishing doctors is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so even if the emperor does not agree with their advice, he generally can't help them, at most he removes their official positions.

But how could they care? Therefore, generally speaking, as long as it is a matter that is verified according to the facts, and at the same time does not involve any matters related to the overall situation of the DPRK and China, the emperor will generally handle it according to their wishes. As a result, this has led to such a result, that is, many of the things inside and outside the court, the collusion between officials and businessmen, etc., can generally only be carried out in the dark, so compared with other dynasties, the rule of officials is naturally extraordinarily clear.

Of course, things like the abuse of power for personal gain, favoritism, and so on, cannot be eradicated. However, as long as it is not carried out in the open, it is already a great blessing for the people of this era.

"No, no. This official must not take this risk......"

Although the inquisitor in front of him was just a small official of the ninth grade, but in such an environment of official governance, he did not dare to openly violate such a minefield, so he naturally wanted to share the interests at that time, and used a small half of the snacks to buy those soldiers and small officials. However, he didn't expect that before he could actually do it, Qin Yong offered to give him the dim sum. This made him overjoyed at once.

Because, if Qin Yong took the initiative to give it to him, he wouldn't have to worry about being accused of using his power for personal gain, after all, it was all sent by the candidates themselves, and it wasn't he who used his authority to deduct it indiscriminately. However, just in case, he still has to send a lot of snacks to those soldiers and officials, but compared to before, it is already a lot less.

"Naturally, the student will go in!"

Qin Yong was no longer polite, and after arching his hand to the other party, he went in with those bamboo tubes and some snacks sent by the red lady. After entering, he really found Zhang Shouye in his house, as well as several talents from their "Chaoyang Poetry Society". Of course, he didn't know that Zhang Shouye had given him a "tripper", but when he saw their smug looks, it felt as if they were determined to win this exam.

"Uh, what's the matter, I'm the only one in this house from Yangzhou?"

Qin Yong naturally knows the rules of the seating arrangement in the examination room. It's just that what he didn't expect was that after entering this examination room, he was not in the same room, and now any of them are also familiar faces from Yangzhou.

In fact, he misunderstood this point. Because, although he is from Yangzhou, he is not a formal person who has passed the township test, but was recommended by Hanshan Academy, so he is not included in the scope of Yangzhou County, but should be regarded as one of the candidates in Bianjing City like Zhang Shouye and others.

So. Naturally, there is a great chance that they will be assigned to Zhang Shouye. It's just that, except for him, a candidate who was recommended by the academy, the other Yangzhou candidates were all from the Tongsheng Examination and the Township Examination, so they were all arranged to other dormitories like other candidates who were also from Yangzhou.

"Alright, alright! All sit down. It's almost time. If you don't sit down after a while, you will go out! ”

Qin Yong was still standing in front of his seat and observing the surrounding situation, but from the top of the number room, a majestic voice suddenly came.

This is a senior official from the fourth grade, to be specific, he is the invigilator in Qin Yong's house. Therefore, he can naturally be regarded as a big official. Of course, this statement is not entirely true. Because, compared with the highest-ranking princes, relatives, prime ministers, and other officials in the court, his official position from the fourth rank is indeed nothing.

However, as far as the nine-rank petty official in front of the Gongyuan who specially examines those candidates is concerned, his official position is too big to be boundless. Because. According to the general law of officialdom promotion, if he, a minor official of the ninth rank, wants to be promoted from the fourth rank, it will not take more than ten years, and it will be impossible at all.

Moreover, this is only the most ideal situation, and the more common situation is that the petty officials of the ninth rank have no chance of being promoted to the fourth rank. Because. This is from the official position of the fourth grade, but it is much less than the official position of the ninth grade.

"Okay, after you sit down, let's come up and transcribe in turn, pay attention, everyone only has a quarter of an hour......"

After sitting down, Qin Yongxian. The layout of the examination room in this Great Zhou era is roughly similar to the large examination room in later generations. It's just that the distance between each table is much farther away. It's just that. Although this is the case, the general movements of each candidate in this room can basically be seen clearly by others. It's just that when the exam is ongoing, it is estimated that not many people will have the leisure to pay attention to others.

However, although it is unlikely that others will pay attention to what others are doing while the exam is in progress, it is impossible at this moment. Because, in the imperial examination in this Great Zhou Dynasty, the examination questions still need to be copied by the candidates themselves. Moreover, the most incredible thing is that the exam questions that need to be copied will not be directly published in a place that everyone can see, but will only be kept in front of the main examination table, so the candidates at the bottom can only go up to the stage one by one in order to copy, so in this way, although the time for each candidate to transcribe is fixed in about a quarter of an hour, but if more than a dozen candidates have finished copying, it is estimated that two or three hours have passed.

"Damn, no wonder the time for this exam will take two days and one night, co-authored, this copy of the exam questions must be copied for half a day?"

After understanding this, Qin Yong's heart was a little speechless. Because, judging from this situation, wouldn't the candidates who copied it first take a huge advantage? After all, they had already learned about the exam questions an hour or two in advance.

However, what he didn't know was that although the candidates in the same dormitory had the same start time, in fact, the final end time was different.

Because the relationship between the exam questions needs to be copied in turn, when the final paper is handed in, it must be submitted one by one in order, and the interval between them is exactly a quarter of an hour, so in terms of the time of the exam alone, the whole exam is still fair. It's just that, in addition to fairness, its other "side effect" is that it makes Qin Yong distressed, because it actually stipulates that the paper cannot be submitted in advance, so this is naturally a kind of torture for Qin Yong, who has made up his mind early on to hand in the paper after noon the next day.
