Now the big game has finally begun.

There were more than 10,000 students in this year's class, and in the end, less than 400 men and women were admitted, that is, one out of almost 30 people.

This time, the number of people admitted to the imperial examination doubled, or because after a major war in the southeast, the imperial court lacked a large number of grassroots officials.

Therefore, this big competition is really a rare opportunity for many students who have not been in the first place for many years.

Especially female students.

Originally, it was not easy for female students to participate in the imperial examination, and even fewer could be successful, but this year, the quota for female jinshi was greatly liberalized.

Therefore, there are a lot more women who come to participate.

Especially the female students of the Zhenwu Academy, there are many more participants than in the previous realm, mainly because the new head of the Zhenwu Academy is still the deputy chief examiner of this year's competition.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the True Martial Academy.

Jixia School Palace has a lot of opinions on this, and it is just that the fourth prince serves as the deputy chief examiner, you are an eagle dog of Nanya, how can he be the deputy chief examiner?

It is said that maybe in the next martial arts, the main exam will also be Luo Xing.

The big sacrificial wine of this Jixia School Palace is not happy, originally the True Martial Arts Academy accounted for the majority of the martial arts, and now if the head of the True Martial Arts Academy is the chief examiner of the martial arts, then the number of martial arts scholars is not enough for the True Martial Arts Academy.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and the martial arts will be held in the autumn, which is still a few months away.

Dabi is in the military camp north of the city.

Building an examination room for tens of thousands of people, which is only used once every three years, is too luxurious, and it is not as affordable as using a military camp, and with a military camp, you only need to pull the forbidden army out to train in the field for a few days, and then come back.

It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

The only drawback is that the conditions of the barracks are a little worse, and candidates need to bring their own food to eat, and the examination room does not provide food.

This is a bloody lesson.

It's not that the examination room can't afford to provide food, but once the examination room provides food, once something happens, it's not one person, it's a large group of people.

This was an unbearable burden for both the court and individuals.

In addition to providing clean water, everything will be provided in the examination room, and the clean water will also be guarded by special personnel, changed and disinfected every day, and alum and live fish will be placed in the water to show that the water is non-toxic.

The examination room needs to be disinfected before the candidates enter, and every corner cannot be let go, and this work is also Luo Xing's.

The examination room, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people, can be imagined, what a large place it is.

There are eight examination districts alone, and each examination area has 1,500 people.

In addition to the proctors, there are also soldiers.

There are also patrols.

Every imperial examination is a huge test of a country's ability to organize and coordinate, and Luo Xing's first time undertaking this matter is also a huge pressure.

In addition to inheriting the practices of their predecessors, they also need to find loopholes in time to fill in the gaps, and the four princes themselves don't understand anything, and they need to learn from their side.

As for the examiner, the fifth prince, he also has to avoid suspicion, and before the exam, he must not have any contact with the candidates and the people who ask the questions.

The whole Luojing is staring at this imperial examination.

Even the Xijon mission was very concerned, and they continued to send people to learn about all aspects of the imperial examination, and even proposed to send some Xirong students to participate in the examination.

They don't take the exam for the big week, but they do for the ranking.

Emperor Yongxi knew the thoughts of the wolf lord of Xirong, and wanted Xirong students to become famous in the Great Zhou Imperial Examination Competition, and even beat the Great Zhou students, so as to show that Xirong's cultural context was not lost to the Great Zhou.

This kind of request, Emperor Yongxi will naturally not refuse, the impact of the refusal is too great, it will make people think that Da Zhou has no energy and is afraid of losing.

There is no shame in losing, but what is shameful is that they don't even have the courage to "compete and compete".

So Xirong sent thirty people to participate in the Great Zhou Imperial Examination Competition, and they were scattered and arranged in the eight major examination areas.

The long-awaited day of Dabi has finally arrived.

After the sacrifice to the Temple of Literature.

Candidates are admitted.

Candidates must be searched when they enter the venue, and their belongings have been checked, and the imperial court has long had regulations on what can be carried.

This year's big than the previous is much more humane, each person will be issued a cloth bag, all items can be put in, brought in, and then brought out, this bag is not retracted, can be kept as a souvenir, and each cloth bag also has the candidate's number and test area.

Every candidate can get one when they apply for the exam.

In addition, candidates do not need to bring any household utensils, including bedding and the like, and the examination room is prepared in advance.

After the futon is used, it is also brought back by the candidate.

For this reason, the imperial court invested more than 20,000 taels of silver, in fact, this is not much, this year's exam fee is handled by Luo Xing, and it is impossible to rub oil.

So far, the funds allocated for this imperial examination have been less than one-third of the previous ones, and it is conceivable that many people have taken the opportunity to enrich their pockets in the previous imperial examinations.

Luo Xing is not afraid that these people will hate themselves for blocking their way to get rich, cheating in the imperial examination, not only the candidates, but also the examiners and the people involved in it, the imperial court will open the department to win the office, and the talents obtained will also be greedy, so there is still hope for this country?

The exam questions were personally extracted by Emperor Yongxi and handed over to Luo Xing for personal preservation.

At the time of the exam the next day, after all the candidates entered the venue, Luo Xing handed the box with a seal to the examiner Wu Wangye.

Then, the fifth prince opened the box, took out the exam questions from it, and read the exam questions in public.

The test questions are then mapped to each test area through a special device, so that every test taker can see them at the first time.

So, there is no need to distribute test papers.

This is a spiritual application, so you don't have to worry about the need to print the test paper in advance, and the test paper will be leaked due to theft or omission.

The three examiners then began to inspect the examination room, although there was no rule on how many examination areas the examiners were required to inspect.

But patrols are a must.

During the three-day scientific examination, the three examiners and all the invigilators had to eat and live in the examination room, and were not allowed to go out, and they were not allowed to monitor the lawlessness at any time.

Even if Luo Xing is so precautionary, there are still people who cheat, once they are caught cheating, they will be expelled from the examination room, and they will not be able to pass the imperial examination in this life.

The punishment for cheating is very serious, and the general cheaters are unsure, these people just want to be caught by luck, and naturally they will die of the heart of being an official in the imperial examination.

In addition to the literary test, there are also martial arts tests in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are more people who enter the officialdom by taking the road of martial arts, but although Wu Jinshi can also be officials, he can basically enter the army, and the starting point is more important than that of civil officials, and the real martial arts genius, more things want to enter the sect and the holy land to practice, because there are more resources and opportunities.

If you really want to be an official, how much time can you spend on government affairs?

Therefore, although the people who participated in the martial arts were pacing, most of them were second- and third-rate talents, and some people could not see hope anymore, so they took this road, and the real geniuses would not waste time and energy to go on the official path, and the extraordinary was the ultimate goal.

However, on this road, very few people can finally reach the end, and when I look back, it is full of bones.

You can see it, this book is coming to an end, and there are only one or two chapters left, no way, the results are too overwhelming!
