Chapter 52: Admission of Candidates

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yanzhou Beicheng, which should have been quiet, was brightly lit at this time, with people coming and going on the streets, and the merchants who sold goods kept waving the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or dry food items in their hands, shouting loudly.

With the shouting, the spitting stars in the seller's mouth sprayed on the goods in his hand, but they still didn't notice it, and they kept shouting, selling the goods in the hands of the salesman.

The noisy crowd struck the Xiucai in long shirts and their families, and this situation continued until the streets near the entrance of the inner city, where they were intercepted by soldiers.

Today is the first day of the township examination, and the candidates have to enter the examination room before the ugly hour (3 o'clock in the morning), and let the candidates enter the examination room before the ugly hour.

The first is to allow candidates to read in advance and prepare for the exam carefully.

The second is to search and enter the examination room at night, so that candidates do not have to waste their time during the day.

Yanguo's township examination started on the ninth day of June, with a three-day test and three consecutive exams. It is said that it is a three-day event, which is to count the entry one day in advance and the appearance of the next day, that is, entering in the middle of the night is counted as one day, and the appearance is also counted as one day, and the actual examination time is only one day.

The first exam of the sixth year of junior high school, the fifth night of the first year of the first year has to be prepared in the field, the next day officially start the exam, to the dark to hand in the papers, if it is dark can not be completed, a total of three incense, to be burned all must be handed in, to the morning of the seventh day of the first month to leave the examination room. This is known as a three-day exam.

The second exam is June 9, you have to enter the exam room on the evening of June 8, and the rules are the same as the first exam, and you can only leave the exam room on August 10.

Then on June 12th, candidates enter the venue to prepare for the third test, which is still on the evening of June 11th, and the exam ends on the night of June 12th.

Although all three sessions of the township exam have ended, candidates can only leave the exam room on the morning of June 13.

After the end of the local township test, candidates can choose to stay in the provincial capital and wait for news, or they can choose to return to their hometown.

The results of the township examination will be distributed to all prefectures and counties in the official post station to ensure that they are sent to the place where the candidate's student status is located.

However, Beicheng is more special, it is obviously different from other state cities, as the capital of the king, coupled with the shortage of talents in Yan Country now, the results of the township examination will generally come out before June 20th.

Zhang Tie prepared a lot of things for Zhang Shun to enter the examination room at night, in addition to eating and drinking, pen and ink inkstones and paperweights also needed to be brought into the examination room by himself.

Before entering the examination room, candidates can pay a fee to obtain draft paper, and the cost is not very high, as long as the five copper coins are mainly to prevent candidates from cheating, which also greatly reduces the difficulty of officers and soldiers in searching and inspecting when entering.

Before the evening, the two Luo Long brothers and Liu Yi all came down from the third floor to call the two Zhang Tie brothers and prepare to go to the examination room together.

Because one will have to stay in the examination room for three days, at least four meals must be prepared, and the examination room will prepare charcoal fires for heating and cooking, and what is brought into the examination room is not necessarily cold rice, it can be cooked freshly.

In addition to flatbread, rice balls, water and vegetarian dishes, there are also meat dishes such as eggs and braised pork, air-dried meat and beef are naturally necessary, that taste, it is estimated that Yang Dart and others are still nostalgic for it.

And Yang Zilin Yang Dart, who is far away in Qingzhou, no, the current Yang Darthead and the other four people are eating, the food is meat and vegetarian, and they feel that it is a delicacy when they look at it, Yang Darthead eats the food on the table in his mouth, but he is thinking about Zhang Tie's air-dried meat in his heart.

Zhang Tie was going to open a stove for Zhang Shun in the number house, so all he prepared was cooked food, a basket slowly.

In June, the night is still a little cool, in order to prevent Zhang Shun from freezing at night, Zhang Tie deliberately put on heavy clothes for Zhang Shun, you can take it off first in the examination room, and use it as a quilt at night, the best of both worlds.

In the evening, 8 people set off from the "High School" inn, and along the way were the candidates and their families who took the township exam, and of course, our lovely vendors, and the soldiers who patrolled and stood guard.

Since Luo Long is from the Flying Tiger Battalion, he knows a lot of soldiers, and he greets people from time to time.

After going through the heavy flow of people, Zhang Tie and others finally came to the door of the examination room.

There are also a lot of people in the examination room, even more, there is already a long queue in front of the door of the examination room, and the soldiers at the door hold the examination room with their hands, preventing candidates from entering and leaving at will, and there is a small tent next to it.

After a while, 6 people walked out of the small tent and walked towards the examination room, and the soldiers guarding the door did not stop them, but called another 6 people in the queue.

The six candidates did not enter the examination room directly, but handed over 5 copper draft paper money, and then entered a small tent on the side, which was obviously used to search the candidates to prevent cheating.

Once Xiucai's cheating is discovered, it will be a catastrophe, not only will he be dismissed, but he will even be in danger of being assigned to the army, but he still can't stop some opportunistic people, after all, once he passes the exam, he will be a person and can enter the court as an official.

In order to prevent cheating, candidates must be removed until only their underwear is left when they are searched, and they are not allowed to enter the examination room until they are carefully inspected by the search officer.

After all, the three examinations of the county, government and hospital are all completed on the same day, and the time is relatively urgent, while the township examination is entered one day in advance, so that the search will have more time and be more strict.

Two days before the start of the exam, Zhang Shun and others had already received the number plate, and the location was fine, and they did not win the 'smelly' number, and in the examination room, it would also be written that a certain line and a certain number were the number of the candidates in a certain place, and the names of the candidates were posted outside the number room, and the list was revealed

It didn't take long for Zhang Shun and others to line up, and after handing over the basket, Zhang Tie patted Zhang Shun on the shoulder and said, "Treat it normally, don't think too much, it's enough to take out the usual level." ”

There is nothing to say about his younger brother's knowledge, he is absolutely a genius, and now he has obtained an attribute bonus, up to more than 30 intelligence, which makes Zhang Shun even more smooth in memory.

Everything in the book can be memorized word for word, and you can tell which book, which page, which line, and which sentence it is from by saying a sentence at will.

Taking the basket, Zhang Shun had a calm demeanor, as if the whole person was in a quiet and stable state, nodded at Zhang Tie, turned around and followed Liu Yi and the others, everything was silent.

Zhang Shun's soldiers guarding the door were a little impatient, if he hadn't known Luo Long on the side, he would have been shouting a long time ago.

As the captain of the reconnaissance team of the Flying Tiger Battalion, Luo Long is still very iron in terms of relations and manpower.

After Zhang Tie and the others finished checking and entering the opening room, they stayed for a while and left the examination room.

Now it's not long before dawn, and they can't sleep when they go back, so Zhang Tie and the others are going to find a place to drink a few pots of wine and eat a few taels of meat.
