On the night of the first day of the civil service exam, many candidates suffered from insomnia.

Maybe they feel that they have finished the first day of the exam, but they must not be late for the second day, if they are disqualified from the exam because they are late, it will be a great loss. But those who had such thoughts got up late the next morning.

Fortunately, the four friends of Baishui (that is, Mo Ran, Li Luo, Guan Dao and Lin Song, the place of worship is in Baishui, so it is called the four friends of Baishui) voluntarily woke up a group, and then helped one by one, so there was no crisis of being late.

In this way, the four of them have also won the gratitude of many candidates, and this gratitude may become a daily network at some point in the future.

Thinking of this, the three of them had to admire Li Luo and admire how he thought of this problem. In this regard, Li Luo could only smile in return, after all, this kind of trick of Jinyi guards to break into the place and gain a sense of friendship is their secret that is not passed on.

In fact, it also indirectly illustrates one thing, that is, all spies are actually the best publicists at the same time.

It's still the old place, it's still the old seat, it's still the old time, and the candidates sit down with a sense of luck until the bell rings for the exam.

The examiner still handed out the test papers, but unlike the previous ones, the test papers on this day were issued according to the subjects that the candidates applied for. That is, those who mainly focus on agriculture and mulberry will send a questionnaire about agriculture and mulberry, and those who are in charge of public affairs will send the next questionnaire about actual government affairs, and so on.

Candidates for each subject are mixed seats, which means that candidates next door or farther away may not be taking the same paper, in order to prevent someone from thinking of collusion on the second day after the first day of experience.

"It is known that Woman A has a daughter who was lost when she was a child, and ten years later she found that the daughter of a widow three miles away looked very similar to herself and her husband, and at the same time, some people said that they heard that the child was picked up by the widow ten years ago, after all, the widow's husband had died eleven years ago. Woman A immediately asked the widow for her child, but the widow insisted that her daughter was the widow she had conceived ten years earlier. Now Woman A has sued the widow to the government and asked for her daughter to be returned, but the widow argues that this is her daughter, and countersues Woman A for falsehood, if you are the county official in charge of criminal prosecution, how should you judge?

Just that question? It seems surprisingly simple! Lin Song, who had reported for the criminal prosecution subject, was unexpectedly a little excited.

Yes, there is only one question in the whole exam paper, and it is a targeted question for the subject you are applying for.

"There has always been a shortage of water in Shimoda Village, and the water upstream is cut off by dams built by the landlords, and during the dry season, there is no water to use on this side of the village. The village is known to grow grapes in their spare time, make wine or dry raisins and sell them. Q: If you are the prefectural governor of this area, how do you solve the water problem in Shimoda Village and how do you make Shimoda Village rich? (Note: The backstage of the landlord's house is larger than yours, and there is a danger of being rectified if you deal with it rashly.) The question is not difficult, it's just ...... If you follow the regular answer, you won't be comfortable with Tamura, but your official position is gone......" Mo Ran looked at the answer sheet in front of him with a wry smile.

Compared with him, Guan Dao is less troublesome, he is a craftsman, in fact, he also sees that this project is relatively unpopular, and there are few people who report, so he is likely to qualify. At least when a large number of talented people are working hard for their favorite projects, they start with something else, even if it is a job they are not familiar with, and one day when their talent is recognized, they still have the opportunity to be promoted to the position they really like.

Indeed, it will be more tiring and longer in the later stage, but if you can't pass the exam, it will be in vain, you must know that there is only one scientific examination in four years, and in four years, I am lucky to have been promoted for the first time.

Moreover, he did have some interest in fortifications, because he was Xu Guangqi's second disciple. One more thing that was not announced was that he had been baptized and became a real Christian.

There is also a question on his examination paper, which is simply how to ensure that new inventions are not stolen by others, and how to protect the interests of inventors.

When it comes to the issue of ownership, this is both a fortification and a political matter, and it depends on how Guan Dao answers.

As for Li Luo, who also applied for government affairs, he was a good man, and in front of him was a blank scroll. Interestingly, he also had a blank paper on the first day of the exam. The reason is simple, no matter what the outcome, he has to leave, and he doesn't need to waste time on it. He spent more time memorizing the contents of these exam papers, writing them out silently in his room at night, and then bringing them back to Qianhu's father to see, which was the right thing.

Today, I only took one question, and it was naturally very simple to memorize, so simple that he felt bored and had a desire to answer.

But in the end, he still didn't answer, patience and silence are one of the skills of the Jinyiwei, only in this way, can the most effective lurk in the enemy-occupied area.

As for those who could not be sociable, who could not endure and be silent, they were captured by the enemy, and then only death awaited them. The only difference is whether you die happily or after being tortured.

Li Luo's father was a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and his distant relatives were the current Jinyi Wei commanders. At this moment, the commander is still in the prime of life, and he is fully qualified to promote his father and himself to a higher level. If you are lucky, the future commander of the Jinyi Guard may not be your own. It is precisely because of this that he and his father have to hone the necessary skills of Jinyiwei again and again, after all, their hardware is not good, and the commander is not good enough to support themselves.

Two hours, this is the border of life and death, self-confidence can be good, if you get a new life, no confidence seems to be the world is bleak.

Anyway, the test paper was collected, and the examiner told them, and gave a reply three days later.

If it is said that this moment is life and death, then after three days, it will be heaven and hell, a line of qualification, which determines whether they will go to heaven or fall into hell.

Three days is so torturous.

Not only the candidates, but also the examiners are exhausted at the moment, and it is not easy to invigilate, after all, this is nearly 4,000 people taking the exam at the same time. Moreover, after the examination, there are more than 20 examiners who are responsible for correcting the papers, and the examination papers of 3,500 people are corrected within three days, which is also a kind of torture.

In fact, Zhang Hongbin has already decided that the next scientific examination, as he did later, will hold civil service examinations in various places, and then admit civil servants corresponding to several positions that are lacking in the place according to their results. In other words, the localities recruit civil servants for three or four positions, and if they pass the examination, it is luck, and if they fail the examination, there is no reason to wait for them, and they will continue to take the examination after four years until they meet the standard before they are qualified to become civil servants.

Zhang Hongbin can be regarded as seeing through, Huaxia has a special attachment to officials. Even if you can earn 100 million a year in business, it is not as good as being a village official in the countryside. If we do not guide public opinion in the later stage, and if we develop industry and commerce, we are afraid that the people of the whole world will go to the examination to become officials, and then ignore industry and commerce and agriculture, which will be a big problem.

Of course, the main reason why he complained so much was because he was one of the twenty examiners......

Fortunately, at this time, there was already an extra shadow by his side, and Yang Ai finally corrected his three views after repeated investigations and brainwashing. She herself was born in the cold and has a natural identity and compassion for the poor people, so after seeking truth from facts and research, she also realized that there was a big problem in the operation of the Ming country, and this problem is bound to cause the collapse of a country, and the Ming Dynasty is about to finish.

Recognizing this fact, she was also lost for a few days, and then silently stood by Zhang Hongbin's side to help him deal with government affairs.

People have a little less of a hidden taste, but they also have a little more taciturn coldness, and they don't know whether it's good or bad.

"Huh...... Didn't this guy get a lift two years ago? Why are you embarrassed to come to me to participate in the scientific expedition? Could it be that it's just the same name and surname? Zhang Hongbin looked at an exam paper and muttered to himself.

"There may not be very few people with the same name and surname in the Ming Dynasty, maybe they really have the same name and surname?" Yang Ai said lightly.

"No, his hometown is Baofeng, and he is the only one who has this name in Baofeng...... Looks like luck has come! Zhang Hongbin clapped his hands and stood up suddenly.

Yang Ai didn't know which genius was so admired by this anti-king, and when he looked sideways, he saw three big characters written on it, 'Niu Jinxing'.
