Lu Xiu and the others took note of what Li Wei taught them, and returned to the academy to follow Fang Xiaoru and those students to review the classics.

And Li Wei also left home and went to the Ordnance Bureau.

In the Ordnance Bureau, a group of new "craftsmen" gathered together, but instead of working, they were writing and drawing, and they did not look like working craftsmen, but like a group of students.

The men did not speak, but communicated with each other in a bunch of symbols that were written.

As the sky got dark, the craftsmen also called it a day, except for a few who stayed behind, the others returned home, and these special craftsmen changed into strong clothes and began some special training.

In the night, the figures flickered, but they were silent, looking like ghosts in the night.

Occasionally, someone accidentally falls while training, and there is no sound other than a low, muffled sound.

Li Wei came to the training venue of these people unhurriedly, followed by Chen Su and Chen Shaofeng and several other students.

Chen Su was in charge of the physical training of these people, while Chen Shaofeng and the others were responsible for handing over the secret means of communication such as the Morse code taught by Professor Li Wei to these people.

In addition to teaching codes, they will also try to teach these people some basic cultural courses, especially some simple and practical physical and chemical knowledge things, which can often work wonders when performing special tasks.

Several people stood still on the sidelines, Chen Su covered his mouth with his hand and let out a whistle similar to a bird's call, and everyone who was training immediately stopped, quickly gathered in front of Li Wei, and knelt on one knee.

Li Wei looked at these people and nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandpa, after this batch of training is completed, we will have more than a thousand people, and I have arranged them to various places according to your instructions, and only one hundred and ten people are left in the Beijing Division."

Chen Su said in a low voice.

Jingshi is the territory of Jinyiwei at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if many good players suddenly appear, they will definitely be noticed, so these agents trained by Li Wei are all sent to other places, and there are very few left in Beijing to avoid exposure.

However, sending to other places can also do a lot of things for him, although Jingshi is the center of power in the imperial court, but local changes can also have an impact on the imperial situation.

"Very well, it just so happens that I have something to do with them, so let's take it as a test for them." Li Weidao.

"Grandpa, please command!" Chen Su couldn't wait to give up.

Li Wei bowed his head and said softly: "The imperial court will try soon, and scholars from all over the country are already on their way to Beijing, and it is expected that there will be many dangers along the way, especially for students from the north." You should inquire about the outstanding scholars in the north, find them, help them through these hardships and obstacles, and it will not hurt to go to Beijing later. ”

After listening to this, Chen Su immediately understood that Li Wei's previous words were not important, and the most recent sentences were the point.

Although the north is far away, but now the world has been basically calmed, and these scholars have meritorious fame, and the government will also give preferential treatment along the way, if it is difficult to say that it is barely reasonable, but the danger is not to talk about at all, Li Wei's words are to let them artificially create danger for these people, delay their time to enter Beijing.

"Yes!"

Chen Su said in a deep voice, as for why he did this, he didn't ask, and he didn't need to ask.

After Li Wei finished giving these instructions, he raised his hand to let these people get up and continue to train.

After a while, Chen Su hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Grandpa, we don't have a name yet, and I ask Grandpa to give me a name!" ”

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Also, he asked Chen Su to secretly organize these special people, and he hasn't named them yet.

A name is still a must, and the right name is of great benefit to the cohesion of the organization.

Li Wei pondered for a while, and then said: "Jinyi Wei Jinyi is gorgeous, glamorous, but you are just the opposite, you can only walk in the dark, you can't see the light, in this way, let's call it a night guard." ”

"Nightguard?" Chen Su read it in a low voice, feeling that this name was very appropriate to the newly formed organization.

"Well, you're the first generation of Night Walkers."

Li Wei looked around at Chen Shaofeng and a few other students, and said softly.

"Yes, don't worry, teacher, we will do a good job of this night walker!"

Chen Shaofeng said firmly.

Although this night guard was formed by Chen Su, their students also played a pivotal role in it, and this was their career after graduation.

Young people are always more motivated than old people, and Chen Shaofeng and the others are the same, they are even more excited than Chen Su.

Li Wei smiled, he understood the feelings of these students very well, after all, he only had dreams when he graduated, and he didn't recognize the reality until he was beaten up by the society.

Let's hope these students don't become like he used to be.

After more than ten years, the imperial court finally opened the department again, and the world's scholars are excited, although there are many people behind the scenes who despise today's cloth cloth Tianzi, and basically often criticize him for not knowing how to govern the country, and he is very violent, but after the court opened the department, these high-spirited scholars are flocking to the capital with great ambitions, in order to serve the court in high school.

In this era, the families who can afford to read are not too poor, these scholars who poured into the capital are like the students who went abroad in later generations, and when they arrived in this prosperous Beijing, they spent a lot of money, so that the economy of the Beijing division prospered a lot, and it was lively everywhere, and there were inns and hotels everywhere, and from time to time there would be a group of vassal and elegant literati who chanted poems and made poems, showing off their literary color.

Although Li Wei did not care about these literati, these literati often mentioned him in their speeches.

After all, now the Ming Huang science has spread very widely, although there are many people who oppose it, but there are also many supporters, as the founder of the Ming Huang science, Li Wei is naturally criticized or admired by these people, and even many students will be bold to come to the door.

However, when the court horse is the mansion of the prince, they naturally can't enter, and the two waves of people can only quarrel and spray each other outside the door, Li Wei sent people to drive away a few waves, but then there will be new ones, so they have no choice but to quarrel with them.

Entering February, these scholars also stopped one after another, because the ninth day of the first month of the examination was about to begin, and they had to hurry up to prepare for the exam.

The current exam is much stricter than the college entrance examination in later generations, each person is in a small black room, and it is three days to enter, a total of three, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in it, and those who are not in good health really can't resist.

And there is a body search before entering, and there is no X-ray machine in this era, so students can only take off their clothes for inspection, these scholars usually emphasize Sven, but when they get here, they have to take off only their underwear, and they can no longer care about their faces.

For nine consecutive days and a break in between, the exam lasted from early to late February before it finally ended.

These nine days were extremely difficult for the scholars who participated in the examination, but for those who had nothing to do with it, it was a blink of an eye.

After nine days of suffering, they immediately entered an anxious waiting again.

Since the Sui Dynasty pioneered the imperial examination system, the imperial examination has become the main way for these scholars to achieve class leapfrogging.

And if they don't win, then they won't have the face to go home to see the parents who provided for their education.

After another seven days, the Ministry of Rites finally posted the list, and the scholars rushed in, nervously searching for hundreds of names on the list, and only when they found themselves on this list could they be qualified to face the saints and participate in the final test: the temple examination.

"Found it, I got it, I got it, haha......"

"I also got ......"

Among the scholars, some people kept shouting in surprise, and the rest of them were sweating on their foreheads nervously, as did Lu Xiu, Ye Qingyun and others.

Because they were born poor, they all worked very hard to get the opportunity to study, especially Ye Qingyun and the others, as the children of ordinary craftsmen, they knew how rare this opportunity Li Wei gave them, if it weren't for Li Wei, their children who lost their fathers wouldn't even have to eat, let alone go to school.

They work hard, and Fang Xiaoru is indeed a good teacher, so although the study time is still short, the results are also very good.

However, compared with these scholars who were selected from all over the world, they are still a little worse, and the previous rankings are no longer their share, so they can only rummage through a bunch of names in the back.

As time goes by, some people have searched the entire list and haven't seen their names, and they suddenly know that they are on the list, of course, their faces are extremely disappointed, and some even cry.

The imperial court divided these originally equal moves into two classes at once, and those in high school cheered, and those who fell off the list were like ashes.

"I found it, I found it!"

Ye Qingyun suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Xiu and a few others hurriedly came to him, Ye Qingyun pointed to his name on the list to show everyone, and sure enough, he also hit.

"Congratulations!"

Several people said hello to Ye Qingyun one after another, but the smile on their faces was a little reluctant.

Ye Qingyun was very eye-catching, and he also understood everyone's mood, so he quickly suppressed the surprise and said to a few people: "You must have won it, I will help you find it together." ”

When Lu Xiu and the others heard this, although they knew that he was just comforting, they couldn't help but feel much better.

Everyone nodded, and continued to separate to find their names, and after a while, Lu Xiu also found his own.

However, he didn't publicize it too much, but said to everyone and continued to help other students find it.

There are not many people from Minghuang Academy who come to participate in the examination, and there are only a dozen of them in total, and after the two are found, only two or three of the others are also on the list, and the remaining nearly ten people are all on the list.

A few of the high school students were overjoyed, although they were disappointed, but they were not as grief-stricken as the other scholars, after all, they had only been in school for five or six years, and they were still very young, and there would be opportunities in the future.

"Let's go, let's go and give the teacher good news!"

"Good!"

Lu Xiu and a few other high school people discussed it, and then went to find Li Wei together.

Although they have two teachers, Li Wei not only taught them knowledge, but also took care of their food and often helped their families, so in their hearts, Li Wei is really like a teacher and a father.

In the Ordnance Bureau, Li Wei sat in the room, holding a booklet in his hand, and looked at it leisurely while drinking tea.

He is one of the most important ministers in the court, so naturally he doesn't need to go to the gate of the Ministry of Rites to see the list like those ordinary scholars, and these lists were copied to him as soon as they came out.

And there are not only names on it, but also the place of origin of the scholar is simply marked after each name.

Li Weizhi swept it and found that it was basically a Shizi High School from the south, and he immediately smiled.

The North and South List case is so famous, he naturally won't know it, but he just doesn't know the specific time.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, under the secret operation of the night guards this time, the best scholars in the north have been dragged down by the "difficulties and dangers" along the way, and they have not been able to catch up with this spring.

As long as this case happens, the Ministry of Rites will definitely be blamed, and those examiners selected by Hanlin and the yamen of various ministries will also suffer.

Although Zhao Mao has no grudge against him, if Wu Shen and the others want to return to power, they have to kick out the current people in the Ministry of Rites.

While Li Wei was thinking about the next arrangement, Lu Xiu and Ye Qingyun walked in and bowed their hands.

"Teacher, I've been hit!"

"Me too."

"And me!"

Lu Xiu and Ye Qingyun and several other names on the list said to Li Wei with happy faces.

The others who fell off the list lowered their heads and were a little ashamed.

Li Wei looked up at them and said with a smile: "Okay, it's good if you win, the next thing is the palace test, you all prepare well." ”

"Yes, don't worry, teacher!"

Lu Xiu said respectfully.

Li Wei bowed his head slightly, then looked at the students who failed the list, and comforted: "You don't have to be discouraged, this is the first time, if you fail once, you will take the exam again next time, you are still young, and you have a chance." ”

"Yes, Teacher." The others also said yes.

"Hmm." Li Wei thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, when the new college is completed, you will go in and become a teacher, and teach the knowledge I taught you to the newly recruited students, which can be regarded as helping the teacher to share his worries." ”

The scale of the new academy is very large, as long as it is completed, it will not be a problem to recruit a few thousand people, and it is naturally impossible for him to teach it himself, and these students happen to go over to help.

In order to engage in the science and technology industry, it is far from enough to have 100 students, and we must continue to teach students.

These people volunteered to become officials, but they felt embarrassed because of their own strength, and now they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Li Wei still had to use them.

"Follow the teacher's instructions."

"Well," Li Wei nodded, "Okay, you guys can go back early." ”

"Yes, the student quits."

The crowd turned away with their hands.

Li Wei sat alone in the room, his eyes fell on the roster of southern scholars, and he smiled again. (End of chapter)
