On the school field paved with bluestone, all kinds of stone wheels and bows and arrows are neatly arranged, and a high platform has been erected behind these tools.

The prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture sat in the middle in a red horse robe, and the subordinate officials of the government such as the general judgment, the study of the righteousness, the inspection, and the government also sat down one by one on the left and right sides.

The materials used in the robes of officials of different grades and even the embroidery styles are very different, so as long as you look at what kind of clothes you are wearing, you can understand their specific grades.

These official robes were all sewn by the embroiderers of the imperial court, and those who dared to make official uniforms privately by private tailors were decided.

"It seems that there are more children coming here today than in previous years!" Xingyuan prefect Xia Wuqi stroked his beard and smiled.

Tongsheng is not like Xiucai, and all the counties in the prefecture have all the martial arts students in Xingyuan City, as long as they meet the standards and have someone to protect them, they can come to the martial arts Xiucai test.

"There are indeed a lot more people in today's martial arts than in the previous two years." The general judgment on the side echoed.

Under the high stage, more than 300 children divided into groups, some did not say a word, and some whispered.

"Tell the test to begin, and let the candidates enter the test and lift the stone to measure the force." Xia Wuqi waved his hand and ordered, and immediately had an order to be sent to beat the gong and drum.

"Exam begins!" The errand officer, who was originally staying next to the candidates, also moved quickly.

The government examination is divided into three days, and there are six items to be examined.

They are, stone lifting, horsemanship, archery, strategy, dance, and competition.

Among them, archery includes two kinds of horse archery.

Only those who reach the top 30 in the comprehensive evaluation of many candidates can obtain the status of Xiucai, and the rest can only wait for the next year to take the exam.

Chen Mo looked at the wooden plaque he had just received, which was engraved with B Seventy-Three.

This showed that there were more than 170 people in front of him, and he would have to wait a long time before it was his turn.

Today's school test is stone riding and archery, tomorrow the dance skills will be tested, and the last day will be the strategy test.

Rows of martial arts students walked into the school yard to lift stones to measure the force and began to take the school examination.

"Brother Mo, Brother Sun, I'll go first." Xu Dabao is the seventy-third place, and he has to enter Chen Mo one step earlier.

After greeting the two, he didn't stay long, and hurried into the school yard.

After a long time, it was Chen Mo's turn.

He walked into the school with several other candidates to carry out a stone lifting force measurement.

There are various stone wheels placed in the school field, the lightest of which is 400 catties, which is one of the criteria for obtaining the status of a child, and you must lift a 400 catties stone wheel to be eligible to come to the exam.

Relying on natural vitality, it is indeed difficult to lift a four-hundred-pound stone wheel, but in this world with martial arts, the vast majority of martial artists can reach this standard in their prime after a few years of painstaking cultivation.

Chen Mo directly moved his gaze to the heaviest stone wheel in the field, which was the heaviest stone wheel, and no one had ever lifted it until the entrance examination.

Even the eight-hundred-pound stone wheel can only be barely lifted by two or three people.

Chen Mo did not hesitate, walked to the thousand-pound stone wheel, took a deep breath, and easily lifted it above his head.

The thousand pound stone wheel is the limit of this examination, but it is far from the limit of his strength.

As he lifted the stone wheel, the noisy school field came to a standstill, and everyone was stunned and stunned at this scene.

Those who can carry the power of thousands of catties are all martial artists who have achieved success in cultivation, and there are not no people in Xingyuan Mansion, but most of them have already made a name for themselves, and the lowest is to lift people, and there are even a few jinshi.

But most of these people are after taking the test to show their talents, and with years of hard training, they can carry the strength of thousands of catties.

There are very few people like Chen Mo who can directly lift a thousand catties of stone wheels.

His arms were raised over the thousand-pound stone wheel for fifteen breaths, and Chen Mo slowly put it down.

The silence on the school field was also broken.

"Who is this man? Which county candidates? Xia Wuqi's expression was surprised, and he asked left and right in a condensed voice.

"Hui Fuzun is the righteous son of General Sun." Someone handed over the roster on the side, and the information about Chen Mo's height and general appearance recorded in detail was recorded on it.

"Hmm. I have heard General Sun talk about this person, and now it looks really good. Xia Wuqi nodded lightly and closed the roster, but did not say anything more.

"The last time we tried to lift a thousand catties of stone wheels in our house, I remember that it seemed to be General Sun. If nothing else, I think that even if this Chen Mo is not the first in this department, he should be among the top three. The priest spoke at the right time.

"Look at his next performance, General Sun's righteous son, it shouldn't be bad." Xia Wu laughed.

The rest of the officials heard the words and agreed one after another.

There were also a few candidates who performed well in front of him, but Fu Zun had never mentioned it alone, but now he only mentioned Chen Mo, which could not be more obvious.

It is indeed a big crime to cheat in the imperial examination, but it is a big crime, and it must be found out.

What's more, Chen Mo's performance was already good, so they were naturally happy to be a favor and sell General Sun to save face.

"B seventy-three Chen Mo, lift a thousand catties of stones, A is commented!" The examiner in charge of lifting the stone gives the results, and then the errand officer on the side shouts loudly.

After testing the strength, the next step is riding.

Chen Mo's riding skills are not very good, but fortunately, he uses horses that he often rides, and the cooperation is quite familiar.

In the end, I got a B middle school evaluation.

According to his inner estimate, this is mostly based on his father-in-law's face, otherwise it would be difficult to get this evaluation based on the riding skills he has only practiced for a few months.

After the riding test, it is archery, in addition to shooting the target, it is also necessary to see the posture of drawing the bow, and how many stones can be pulled out of the strong bow.

Chen Mo's foot shooting is acceptable, and his riding shooting is slightly worse, but he is the only one among many candidates who can pull out a ten-stone strong bow.

He still got a rating under the first.

After three consecutive evaluations, it was already evening, and Chen Mo took the carriage back to his house to rest.

"I'm back." Sun Shouren smiled and beckoned to Chen Mo.

"Father-in-law." Chen Mo stepped forward and saluted.

"I already know your results in today's evaluation, and with your results, it is not difficult to be in the top three. If you want to get the top spot, there is a certain difficulty. Sun Shouren said slowly.

Although Wuju has a martial character, it is not just to see if he can fight, Chen Mo has good strength, and he is definitely strong enough in actual combat, and he can come out on top in these two tests.

But there are several other items that are not very good among many candidates.

It is not difficult to achieve fame, but the difficult thing is to be able to get the first place.

"Take a good look at the military book you gave a few days ago." Sun Shouren carefully admonished.

"The child understands." Chen Mo bowed.

He could also guess that if nothing else, the exam questions for this strategy were from that Wu Tao.

It's just that the specific paragraph of the test is not marked in detail, and there is no way to mark it in detail.

When taking the policy theory, there will be dozens of completely different questions for candidates to randomly draw, and whichever one is drawn.

Admittedly, even so, there is plenty of room for cheating.

But no one usually does that, because it's too risky to be found out.

On the contrary, it is undoubtedly much less risky to divulge the general topic, because this kind of thing is difficult to find out.

The mansion has a day off, and the next day it will continue to take the exam.
