In his early years, Xiao Yan worked hard to set up the Five Classics Museum, which opened up a channel for Han Shi to advance, but he couldn't change the view of the family in his bones.

The most intuitive example is reflected in Hou Jing's surrender to Liang, because his wife and children were trapped in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so he asked Xiao Yan to marry Langya Wang and Chen Jun Xie.

Xiao Yan's reply to this was, 'Wang Xie Men is not a coincidence, and he can be visited by Zhu Zhang. ’

Perhaps because he looked down on Hou Jing's surrender, the 100,000 army had already been beaten by Murong Shaozong to only 800 remnants.

Xiao Yan actually slapped his face clearly, and bluntly said that Wang Xie Gaomen was not something that he Hou Jing could cling to, and if he wanted to find a daughter-in-law, he would go to the Zhu family of Wu County and the Zhang family of Wu County to find it.

Unexpectedly, Hou Jing was determined to rebel again under Gao Cheng's discordant plan, and temporarily expanded to 8,000 people with 800 remnants of soldiers in Shouyang, and crossed the river with such a new army that King Gao looked down on, and finally buried the entire Southern Dynasty.

However, taking Hou Jing as an example, it is just to illustrate that when the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty implemented the imperial examination and raised the threshold for officials in order to change the situation that the children of the scholar clan could be officials regardless of whether they were virtuous or foolish.

Why did Xiao Yan still adhere to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and let the scholars control the selection standards.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

The East and West Wei are determined to forge ahead, and Xiao Liang, who is standing still, is already doomed.

Time passed quietly in the busy work of officials in Kanto and Kansai, as well as the singing and dancing of officials in Southern Liang.

At the end of March, the imperial examination was opened.

Xiangzhou Prefecture and County Soldier Wang Ajing was once again recruited into the examination room to maintain discipline.

Since Gao Cheng held the first official or official recruitment examination in Yecheng, after six or seven years, there was another grand event.

The day before the exam, the counties in Xiangzhou were bustling, and the candidates in Ye County had already filled up the large and small hostels in Yecheng.

After Gao Cheng destroyed the Buddha, the few Buddhist temples had to hang a full sign outside the temple gate, which really couldn't accommodate the candidates who came to stay overnight.

This time the exam is three and nine streams, except for criminals, there are everyone, and the classic subjects are mainly for the children of the scholar family, and it is difficult for the children of the poor to compete.

And the situation of the other four subjects is also jaw-dropping.

Gao Cheng is seeking talents, and does not prohibit officials from abandoning their posts to take the re-examination, and there are more people who give up their posts, and the corresponding increase in the number of people admitted to the state examination is.

There was a gap of nearly six months between the county test and the state test, which was enough for him to coordinate.

It is precisely because of this policy that most of the officials recorded by Gao Cheng decided to give up their posts and take the exam again.

Nearly 50,000 people were hired in that examination (the Book of Northern Qi and the History of the Northern Qi clearly recorded that it was indeed 50,000 officials. Most of them are petty officials, which also creates the four subjects of criminal name, arithmetic, agriculture, and fortification, which are more difficult for people with white bodies than the classic subjects.

It's not because there will be colleagues who help this group of people who have abandoned their jobs to cheat.

But the exam six or seven years ago was originally for the vast number of poor families, and the children of the scholar clan did not look down on that kind of position.

At that time, this group of people was the best among the children of the poor family, and after six or seven years of government training, such as being a prison officer, they were familiar with the law; Those who work as tax collectors deal with arithmetic all year round, and so on.

Since the imperial court announced the specific matters of the imperial examination to the world, those who are interested in making a difference in the officialdom have abandoned their posts to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

With them competing, at least six or seven years ago, the group of losers who were referred to together have little hope.

Gao Cheng was well aware of this phenomenon, but he still insisted on this decision.

The imperial examination focuses on fairness, which means that everyone relies on talent to learn to ascend to the top.

What Gao Cheng wants is a capable person, who is admitted to the sergeant as an official, and if the ability is poor, he will be promoted to be an official, and if he is incapable, he will walk away.

NOT THE SO-CALLED POLITICALLY CORRECT BUFF: OH, HE COMES FROM A POOR FAMILY, SO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE HAS A GOOD ABILITY.

On the day of the county examination, Wang Ajing, the soldier, looked at the candidates of various subjects who entered the school, and he was inevitably anxious:

'Can my fair family really stand out from this competition?' ’

Wang Gongyun is still young, he has just entered Mongolia for less than a year, and he is still very early to participate in the scientific examination.

However, for the future, Wang Gongyun already had a plan, he told his father Wang Ajing that he was determined to learn arithmetic and apply for arithmetic in the future.

In case you can't be lifted or promoted, in the future, with your arithmetic skills, you can also make an account for others.

Just when Wang Ajing was worried about the competitive pressure that his son would face in the future, a young man had already sat in the seat he supervised.

The young man kept muttering:

"Sven sweeps, Sven sweeps ......"

Obviously, he had undergone a thorough body search before entering the door, and it seemed that he had not even let go of his privacy.

It seems that this kid didn't take the exam that year. ’

Wang Ajing said in his heart.

The young man saw that it was still early, and the surroundings were empty, so he looked up and talked to Wang Ajing, wanting to get closer:

"Brother Tai is also from Ye County? Dare to ask the name, in the next Li ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Wang Ajing:

"Candidates are forbidden to speak in the examination hall, and if they commit another offense, they will be disqualified on the spot."

Before the examination, whether it was the army general, or the county commander of Ye County, or even the Xiangzhou assassin Shi Yang Su, they all emphasized discipline with their group of invigilators, and there were those who assisted in cheating, and the past military salaries were recovered, and they no longer enjoyed the rights including tax exemption and salary, and the three generations of children and grandchildren were not allowed to refer to it.

This is one of the fraud prevention regulations issued by Gao Cheng.

The punishment for cheaters is heavier, not only is it banned for life, and the three generations of children and grandchildren are not allowed to refer to it, but also they must be assigned to Yingzhou and blow snow in the northeast.

The young man was swallowed back by Wang Ajing, and he didn't dare to say more.

When the time for the examination arrived, the gate of the examination hall of the Criminal Name Section was closed, and some people outside the hospital were crying, and they didn't know whether they missed the start time of the examination and needed to wait for another three years, or they were arrested with a cheat sheet.

When the test paper was issued, the young man saw the paper clearly, and his brows furrowed.

Wang Ajing looked at him like this, and compared with Zhang Dexing's pen back then, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The young man thought for a long time before he buried himself in answering, and finally answered the whole sheet, hurriedly handed in the papers, and finally was sent out of the examination room by Wang Ajing with a bitter face.

"Hey! Wait. ”

Wang Ajing stopped the young man.

"What else?"

The young man looked back, his tone was very stiff, obviously thinking that he had failed the test.

"I'm going to tell you that the general presided over the exam in Yecheng back then, and the person I invigilated the exam was named Zhang Dexing, who was the first in Hebei's agricultural department that year, and now he is presiding over the salt administration in Cangzhou."

When the young man heard this, his face turned cloudy and clear, and he smiled:

"I don't mean that Brother Tai and Zhang Yanguan have such a relationship, if you can take advantage of Brother Tai's good fortune today and get lucky, I will definitely invite Brother Tai to drink together another day."

The young man left happily, but this wine king Ah Jing still failed to drink it after all, maybe the young man forgot about it after being admitted, or maybe he didn't get it at all.

Wang Ajing didn't know about this, of course, this was later.

And Chen Qingzhi, who was stationed in Jiangling, heard about the scientific research in the neighboring Jingzhou, East Jingzhou, and Southern Jingzhou, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Gao Cheng collects all the heroes of the Kanto region, and there is no one in the world who can deserve it."

Overslept, seven minutes late. It's not tonight, go to bed first, everyone rests earlier, and I'll try to update it as early as possible tomorrow.
