In the past few days, a few people went to register early, and this registration was the same as the county test, so that the town had made an appointment before, and the two catering students who came over by themselves took them to the government office and entered the ceremonial room record.

In the local county capital, the ceremonial room is equivalent to the ceremonial department of the central court, in fact, each county and prefecture has a relative six rooms, and the functions are the same as the six departments.

filled in the resume in the ceremonial room, and the person in the ceremonial room issued an examination citation, and Bu Ru looked at his own examination citation, which wrote his general physical and physical characteristics; The body is slightly taller and thinner, with a white face and beard, and a middle-to-upper appearance.

Bu Ru saw it, and he was still very happy in his heart.

The other four people were probably like this, and after learning that Zhao Fuzi was the top ten in the county examination, the people in the ceremonial room printed an extra seal on his examination guide, and the word 'Tang' was on it.

The top ten in each county are examined in the lobby where the examiner sits.

After going through the process, the five people went out of the gate of the mansion, and a large group of people came outside, all of whom came to sign up.

At this time, Bu Ru knew that those who had passed the county examination did not need to take the county examination again in the future.

The government examination is twice every three years, that is, once every other year, and there are about fifty or sixty people who can pass the exam each time.

And each county has passed sixty or seventy in each county, and many people in a few counties can not pass the government test.

After accumulation, there will be a lot of people who take the prefectural examination every time, just like a small prefecture like Linhe County, there are three or four thousand people who participate in the prefectural examination.

Three or four thousand take fifty or sixty, the acceptance rate is already extremely low, no wonder some people say that the government examination is the most difficult test in the primary three levels.

The five Bu Ru people came early, so there were more people outside the yamen.

At this time, when I saw a sea of people, the young ones were fifteen or sixteen years old, and the old ones even had gray hairs and old people in their sixties and seventies, so I couldn't help but ask curiously; "Why do these people come to the exam when they are so old? Even if they pass the test, what can they do? If you want to be an official, you have to take the test to raise people, even if you raise people, you may not be able to do it, unless you win the Jinshi! ”

Bu Shuiyun sighed and said; "These people have an obsession in their hearts, they have studied all their lives, but they can't pass the school exam, they are not children, how can they face their families? Even if he dies, I'm afraid I feel shameless to face my parents, so I want to fight. ”

In fact, this is also a portrayal of his own heart, he is in his thirties, and if he can't give himself an explanation after studying for more than ten years, he can't let go of this obsession.

"Actually, there is a deeper reason." Zhao Fuzi said.

"What is the reason?"

"If you are not even a child, when you return to your life for a hundred years, you can only engrave 'virgin' on the tombstone. And if you are admitted to the child's life, you can at least engrave 'to be given to Deng Shilang' on your tombstone, not to mention that you have an explanation for yourself, and you also have some face for your children and grandchildren, at least in the village, you can be called a scholar. ”

Bu Shuiyun nodded silently when he heard this.

Zhao Fuzi is not worried, how can the head of a county pass the government test, that is, the hospital test is not sure, but with his talent, it must not be difficult.

Shen Qingzhou's family style is very good, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to pass the Tongsheng examination, even if he does not do it this time, he will definitely have a chance next time.

Pan Wenhai is the weakest in fame and fortune, he wants to take the children's exam, because he wants to be a teacher for children in the mountain village in the future.

Bu Ru Dao; "Don't talk about it, go back, work hard for a month, whether you can get through it or not, at least there are no regrets about this time."

Everyone nodded and went back to the inn together.

The food and accommodation in the house this time was also paid by Jiang Yi, which was equivalent to Bu Ru's money, and it had already been arranged, the inn was quite quiet, and it was very convenient for everyone to study together, so the progress was very fast.

In terms of life, Chen Zhi went back and left two teenagers.

After all, it's in the house, and there aren't many people who dare to kill people here, so two are enough.

The two teenagers are also from the countryside, and they can do housework well, and they serve the five scholars very thoughtfully.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and on April 18, the government examination officially began.

The prefectural examination is generally conducted four to five times, which is presided over by the prefect and the prefect of the prefect.

Among them, the first session is the most important, and the subjects are divided into scriptures, essays, and policy discussions.

The next few are generally re-examinations, which are called repetitions, repetitions, and repetitions.

After all, it is an exam in the government, the examination room is better than the county, and it is stricter in all aspects, when the candidates enter the examination room, they search layer by layer, lock the door when they enter the examination room, and there are soldiers patrolling around the examination room, and it is strictly forbidden for candidates to move seats, change papers, throw paper, speak, look forward and other cheating.

Bu Ru has always been very serious in reading, and with the communication with the four of them during this time, it can be said that it is a thousand miles a day.

This time, the candidate's eight-strand essay topic was a big question, which was somewhat difficult, and he thought about it for a whole hour before he dared to do it.

Naturally, the Five Scriptures continued to answer from his own scripture, the Book of Shang, and when he saw the title, it happened to be the same as his wife, who had said a lot of strange things at that time, but when he thought about it, he made a lot of sense.

So after pondering the words, he quickly answered.

There is also a policy topic, which is generally a test of a scholar's political handling level, and this time the topic is to the effect of how to deal with disaster victims from other places.

Bu Ru thought for a moment; The best way to resettle the victims is to settle them down, not to move around, destroy crops, waste labor, and create a crime hazard.

And to settle down, it is best to have a job that can make ends meet, Lin Fengzhen began to have displaced people last year, and at that time he thought about how to settle them if he was the head of a county.

If you think about these ideas a lot, you will naturally be more mature, so at this time, you will answer the strategy, the thoughts will be gushing, and if you have the help of God, you will soon write a splendid article, and then ponder and revise the rhetoric and rhetoric, until you are satisfied, and then write the answer sheet.

At about the end of the afternoon, the sky was still very bright, and when I got up to hand in the papers, I found that many people were still working hard to write.

After teaching the papers, there were already a lot of people waiting at the door. These are all exam papers, but they need to wait for a round of 30 people to be released in the examination room, so they are all waiting here.

After waiting here for a while, I saw that Shen Qingzhou had also handed in the papers, and the two looked at each other and smiled without speaking.

went out and quickly found Master Zhao, who had already come out.

Seeing the smile on his face, he should have done well.

The three of them didn't go back first, but chatted next to the examination room for two quarters of an hour, and Pan Wenhai also came out.

The four of them continued to wait for another quarter of an hour, the sky was already dark, and finally all the people in the examination room were almost gone, and Bu Shuiyun came out tired.

The next few exams will be taken every other day, which is relatively easy, and candidates can even skip it.

But all five of them went, and after all the exams, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

At this time, it will be at least four or five days before the opening of the results, and this period of waiting for the results is the day of the candidates' carnival.

Regardless of whether you have confidence or not, you will relax, eat and drink, or drink for fun, and even go to the Qinglou to have fun.

Therefore, the business of the Qinglou wine shop in the house is very good.
