The imperial examination has always been the best choice for the proletariat to enter the official career.

Meantime.

It also had a profound impact on the feudal social structure, education, system, and humanistic thought.

It has made tremendous contributions to breaking the monopoly, expanding the sources of qualified officials, improving the cultural quality of officials, and strengthening the centralization of power.

Xu Moyan realized that there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do and convenient.

He did not belong to the scope of the scientific examination, even if he had never taken the exam, he could be deployed by Shangguan, skip the township exam directly, and participate in the examination held in the capital.

Ages.

The system has always been a weapon used to restrict the people at the bottom.

When the right to rain is given to the umbrella seller, the rain will not stop.

The little mare in the public liberation was very obedient, carrying Xu Moyan with small steps, and went from Dongcheng to Guozijian in Xicheng.

Half an hour later, I rushed to Guozijian.

The little official in charge of the reception was very polite, and after hearing that he was looking for a sacrificial wine, he arranged for him to be in the reception hall, and served tea, and then went to pass it on.

Xu Moyan sat bored, drinking tea and waiting.

I saw a blank piece of paper on the table, and there was a math problem on it.

He picked it up casually and glanced at it, and it was written:

Now there is a wall ten feet thick, two rats wear each other, rats a foot a day, mice also a foot, rats a day from double, mice a day from half.

Q: When will we meet?

Xu Moyan smiled silently.

The meaning of this question is that there is a ten-foot-thick wall, and two rats burrow each other, so that the big rat can dig one foot a day, and the small mouse can dig one foot.

And every day after that, the speed of the big mouse is twice that of the previous day, and the speed of the small mouse is half of the previous day.

The result can be easily derived with the summation formula of the proportional series.

Xu Moyan was itchy for a while, took a brush, and wrote the answer in the way of later generations.

The moment it is completed, the sense of accomplishment is no less than conquering a servant begging for mercy in the hook bar.

Then.

The little official came to pass the word.

"Master Xu, please go to the side hall to talk."

"Lead the way."

Maybe it was a person who was dressed in the errand clothes of the secret saucer division, and the students of the Guozijian he met along the way were more polite to him.

Soon.

They came to the side hall where the sake priest rested every day.

"Your Excellency is inside, please!"

"Good work."

Xu Moyan politely took out two copper plates and threw them into the hands of the little official.

In the future, it is inevitable to deal with each other, and if the infrastructure is done well, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Xu Moyan stepped in.

On the jujube solid wood square armchair sat an old man in a scarlet robe embroidered with flying fish, holding a bowl of tea, gently smashing the tea leaves floating on it.

The cheeks are thin, the eyes are resolute, the goatee is long, and the face is kind.

"Xu Moyan has seen Lord Sacrificial Wine."

Xu Moyan took the lead in speaking out to greet him, first, to tell the other party that I was here to avoid embarrassment.

The second is to see the chief take the initiative to greet him, which is a courtesy.

Wei Fangping saw a young man, wearing poor clothes, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a tall body, looking like a good son in the turbid world, and he suddenly felt good in his heart.

Wei Fangping bowed, put down the tea bowl in his hand, pointed to the seat opposite him, and said, "Sit!" ”

There were few words, the tone was firm, and there was not the slightest familiarity in his eyes.

Generally, such a person is a capable minister.

Less nonsense, more practical.

Xu Moyan caught a hint of uneasiness on his face.

Wei Fangping frowned and pointed to Xu Moyan's placket: "It's also a gold medal white service, pay attention to your image." ”

Xu Moyan looked down and found that his clothes were loose, which was caused when he took out the money just now.

Tightening his shirt and straightening his hat, Wei Fangping's expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You made "Breaking the Array"?"

It was written by Xin Qiji...... Xu Moyan replied truthfully: "It was done below." ”

"Why do you feel it?"

Xu Moyan said with a straight face: "The man of the Han family, there is always a passion for going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which was originally His Majesty's courage to calm the world and dare to be the first. ”

"Hmm!" Wei Fangping nodded, "Serving the court can be reflected in many ways, such as the old man doing his best at his post, but also to serve the court." ”

Xu Moyan clenched his fists: "Your Excellency is brave and loyal, and the sun and the moon can be seen." ”

"The old man doesn't eat this." After a pause, he said, "Now there is an opportunity to serve the imperial court, are you willing?" ”

Xu Moyan asked, "Is it about participating in the scientific expedition?" ”

"Yes!" Wei Fangping took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, and said, "The new life of the imperial court urgently needs a young talent like Xu Gongzi to increase the national fortune of the imperial court. ”

"In the next martial arts, it is the tolerance of the secret saucer division, and it collides with the law, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Xu Moyan naturally wanted to bargain.

If you say yes, you will be like a cheap street girl under the overpass.

Wei Fangping got up and paced with his hands behind his back.

"More than a month ago, this official sent an invitation to Qiu Zhixian of Wannian County to you, and he did not admit that Qiu Zhixian ruined his future for his own selfish interests.

You are a talented person recognized by heaven and earth, and it is your duty to write poems and articles for the national examination and increase the national fortune for the imperial court.

As for the jurisprudence, this official will deal with it himself. ”

"Hmm-"

"Okay!" Seeing Xu Moyan's hesitation, Wei Fangping made a big move, "If you are on the list, the imperial court promises to give a three-entry mansion in the inner city." ”

It doesn't matter if the house is not a house, I mainly want to serve my father in the court...... Xu Moyan got up and asked, "Where can I get a floating ticket?" ”

Wei Fangping smiled silently and pointed to the door: "Find the little official, he will lead you through the process." ”

Xu Moyan praised his generous behavior just now.

It's not.

It's used by people again.

The certificate and the float are the candidates who receive the admission ticket before the exam.

In ancient times, there was no photographic technology, and in order to prevent substitute examinations, the name, age, place of origin, and appearance characteristics of the candidates were written on the floating ticket.

Fat is written as fat, thin is written as thin, and if there is a physical disability, the location of the disability is indicated.

This is the manifestation stage.

After that, write the name of the referrer on the back of the float.

Not everyone can be a recommender, and you must be a student to be eligible to recommend.

Di Sheng is a Xiucai, equivalent to a national civil servant, regardless of whether he has a position or not, he can receive a court allowance every month, and there are many benefits.

So.

They generally don't dare to cheat.

Another form of guarantee is a joint guarantee, in which one of the people falsifies his identity and the others are implicated, so that an effective mutual supervision can be formed.

The examination is approaching, and Guozijian has already released the collection of floating tickets, and there are Xiucai who have come to Beijing from all over the country to take the examination one after another, coming to witness themselves and receive floating tickets.

Xu Moyan returned to the reception room just now.

There was a circle of people in the reception room.

Xu Moyan raised his feet and walked in.

The little official's eyes were sharp, and he recognized Xu Moyan at a glance, pointed at him and shouted excitedly: "It's him!" ”
