Maybe all localities have more or less their own ghosts when they receive the will from the Jingshi, but this time it is not as yang and yin as in the past, perhaps because the essence of the imperial examination system has not changed, even if the scope of the examination has to change, and the content of the examination is no longer confined to the Bagu article, but the old system has not been cut at one time, but has given enough time to buffer.

The new system fundamentally did not completely eliminate the basic advantages of the Jiangnan scholars as scholars, but due to the restrictions of the candidates' location, the number of candidates in different places is different, and the candidates' abilities are different.

The difficulty of the exam is a little more difficult than before.

But in the final analysis, the children of rich families still have an advantage.

If you don't have any money, you can't eat enough, so where can you find some hard work to support yourself?

Talk to them about reading at this time?

Talking about the imperial examination?

Talking about serving the country?

None of this is realistic, and only after satisfying the basic food and clothing, perhaps some open-minded families will change the silver from being used to turn brown rice into polished rice, and from time to time add two eggs to satisfy their stomachs.

It becomes that you can eat enough anyway, so it is better to save some money and food for your children to study.

Of course.

After all, under what circumstances do you say anything?

The frequent good news of the war in Liaodong has restored the original comfortable and peaceful atmosphere of the entire Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youzhen knows that all this is only short-lived.

At present, China is a top power in the whole world.

But in reality?

Surrounded by a circle, there is no Lord with good intentions.

Mongolia in the north was quite honest, but it was honest under the oppression of the Manchurian Emperor Taiji.

Needless to say, the Huang Taiji of Manchuria said that if the courier surnamed Li was the best promoter of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, then Jiannu was an absolute condition.

The Wa kingdoms in the east came to the beach from time to time to fight the autumn breeze, and since the reduction of trade exchanges, the original so-called merchant ships have also become pirates overnight.

Although the southwest is stable, it also contains a large amount of silver in the Ming Dynasty to defend the border, and it is also the efforts of many people in the Ming Dynasty, but even so, with the continuous decline of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and frequent crises, the monkeys in the south gradually forgot the deterrent power of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the Netherlands, a small European country with a land area of only 28,000 square kilometers, which made its fortune from fishing, which helped the shipbuilding industry flourish, and finally world trade.

Although the so-called "world trade" of these red-haired fans will come to a "zero yuan purchase" from time to time.

But when it comes to Daming, they are still very honest.

In the booming world, Daming still seems to have an absolute advantage in the lead, but with the closure of the sea, sooner or later it will have to squander all this.

Fortunately.

Zhu Youzhen came.

With the Huaxia Library, he will not say anything else, in the area of knowledge reserve and scientific and technological development, he will continue to lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity.

It's just that the current Da Ming is still confused.

Eating a full stomach and who will study these two things.

So.

Daming Chongzhen's one-year new imperial examination and the admission examination of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences and its subordinate colleges!

Under Zhu Youzhen's strong intervention, all prefectures, prefectures, counties, and townships in the country reached the war-torn Liaodong in the north, Shaanxi in the west, coastal provinces in the east, and Guangdong and Yunnan in the south.

It can be said that at this moment, the strength of the whole country and the new imperial examination have achieved remarkable results.

The embroidered spring knives of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei will always be much more effective than the dry emperor's will.

Although in the process, the scale of Dongchang has become the largest in the country to collect intelligence, official supervision, affairs and other highly centralized institutions, and even the post road supervision and dredging of local intelligence to the Beijing division have been handed over to Dongchang.

At this moment, it can be described as a monstrous power.

But all the guards of the East Factory know a truth from the moment they enter the East Factory.

Without Zhu Youzhen, what kind of do they have?

Without the emperor behind him, the local officials could shave their bones!

As for the exam questions, under the supervision and custody of the Tianhu Army, the test papers were escorted from Beijing, Shandong, and Henan, and the exams were opened province by province!

Since it was impossible to avoid the outflow of exam questions in an absolute sense, Zhu Youzhen specially compiled several sets of exam questions from different angles and used them to pull up the joint examination in several provinces.

Therefore, even if you miss the test questions, the papers are different, and it can be said that most of the knowledge is unrelated between different papers.

A new system for the selection of officials and a new system for cultivating talents have completely completed the first step at this moment.

Talent screening.

Zhili.

"The exam will start after three gongs! Supervising officials this time: first-class researcher of the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences: Li Chengze, supervisor of the Daming Hanlin Academy: Ma Quan! ”

"Inspection: Ming Royal Tiger Army Soldiers!"

"If there is a cheater, once discovered! Grades are invalid! You can't take the test again for five years! Please also cherish the emperor's grace! ”

"Bell, bell!"

"It's time for the exam!"

In the continuous shuttle of the expressionless soldiers of the Tianhu Army, the test papers were sent out one by one, and the huge examination room in the open air was set up in the backyard of a academy in Zhili, and everything within a radius of three miles was emptied except for the necessary personnel for the invigilation, and the personnel, carriages and horses were blocked outside by the Tianhu Army.

This scene amazed all the students who came to take the exam.

This exam is really extraordinary, and the new style is not only in the exam questions, but more importantly, in the situation.

The issuance of the test paper is complete.

Some candidates can't wait to take out the pen and ink to answer, but you can see the first question...

In an instant, it was not just him, almost everyone present stopped answering the questions, and some people even changed their faces in an instant and cried.

"It is known that there are two water tanks of different sizes, the first tank can hold 100 stone of water, and the second tank can hold 50 stone of water, from the first tank to the second tank, each hour is filled with 20 stones, but the second tank will leak five stone of water every hour, please ask how long it will take to fill the second tank now that the first tank is full, and the second tank has five stone of water."

This first question completely stumped the students who didn't learn arithmetic, and even if they had learned arithmetic, they were dumbfounded for a while.

But as soon as I saw the first question, the student who showed such a look unhurriedly pulled out the scratch paper that had been distributed in advance and began to calculate.

Funny, the amount of scratch paper for this exam is three times as much as the test paper, and there is not enough to add more.

Many poor students also ask for a lot of scratch paper at the last minute after the exam, because blank manuscript paper can be taken out of the exam room.

After all, Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to this exam.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all borne by the imperial court, and all purchases should be made of high quality, and if there is ink seepage, smudging and other situations after the rolls are received in Beijing, the local officials will be held responsible.

For a time, it was difficult to find good paper in the Ming Dynasty, and there was a scene of expensive paper in Luoyang, but fortunately, local officials only needed to undertake the preparation of draft paper, and the rolls were transported uniformly.
