When the military department finalized the relevant matters, they waited for the arrival of the envoys of Baekje and Silla, and at their speed, it was estimated that it would take about four or five days to reach Chang'an.

And Li Ke's side didn't pay attention to this matter after finalizing the relevant policies, he was paying attention to Datang's first national exam.

Although it is not a college entrance examination, it does select the first batch of university researchers for the entire Datang from a certain perspective.

This time, the exam was conducted in a special format, and the overall exam was divided into three days.

One exam in the morning and one in the afternoon every day, and the time for each exam is four hours, unlike one or two hours in later generations.

Similarly, all the examination rooms Li Ke also referred to the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were separate examination rooms, and each candidate was a separate single room like a prison cell, and only drinking water was provided during the four hours.

In addition, if you go to the toilet, there will be local military soldiers in Datang who will directly lead them there, yes, the soldiers in charge of invigilation will be directly responsible for the local garrison.

Because after Li Ke thought about it again, he felt that the probability of soldiers being corrupted by outsiders was definitely lower than that of members of the local security forces.

Of course, what Li Ke said is that in the future, for now, there is no such problem.

He is now more about forming a system.

Of course, this system will not last for many years, after all, with the increase in the population of Datang and the increase in candidates from all over the world, there is no need for such a system.

But for now, it's still needed.

The reason why it was formulated like this, and so much time was given, was because the amount of questions in the test paper that Li Ke issued this time was a bit large.

The examination subjects are only Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, and politics, a total of six subjects, and the results of the examination are exactly three days.

However, the content in the test paper is not only a large amount, but also contains some test questions that are used to test what the candidates have learned and what they are good at.

Li Ke's idea is very simple, now expect them all to learn, it is impossible to end the systematic study like in later generations, and there are special methods in special periods.

Therefore, when Li Ke came out with the questions, not only did he have a large amount of questions, but also the focus of the questions was different, and there would be an explanation at the beginning of the test paper, telling them that the questions could not be completed within four hours in theory.

You can choose what you are good at and focus on each paper.

For example, there are many topics in politics and language that are already related to local governance, governance philosophy, and so on.

Similarly, in the Chinese language paper, some of the questions require them to answer concisely in a concise passage similar to classical Chinese.

But there are also some questions that require them to use vernacular and other methods to explain the short answers.

However, Li Ke did not explain the method of short answer directly, but hid it in the question to see if any candidates could reflect this.

Although Li Ke has always asked everyone to answer in vernacular, he has not abandoned classical Chinese, and there are some cultural inheritances that can be handed down.

Although there is a shortage of talents now, there will be no shortage of talents in the future, and those who are willing to learn these should let them learn.

These are all signs of civilization and cultural inheritance.

This time, Li Ke, a candidate who participated in the exam, did not have specific data statistics, because the specific data had not been completely transmitted back, but there were test centers in almost all the places where intermediate schools were set up in Datang.

Theoretically, all candidates who have reached middle school will have to participate, and of course it is estimated that there will be temporary registration, because even if the school is established, it is not like there is a degree in the future.

Many people will definitely not go to school, and these people will definitely take the exam, Li Ke allowed them to temporarily register in the nearby middle school.

Therefore, the numbers of specific candidates will not be able to be passed back to Chang'an City together until the end of the exam.

June 11 is the first day of mid-June, and the first brand new exam that the whole Datang has noticed officially begins.

Candidates from all over the country entered the examination room in a neat queue, each with their own unique number and admission ticket.

After entering the examination room with these things, naturally there were soldiers who led them to the location of their own examination.

Outside the examination room, there are also countless parents who came to send their children to the exam, most of these people belong to a good family environment, and they dare not say that they are from a family or anything like that, but at least their income is already considered the middle class of Datang.

And some low-level people also have candidates to take the exam, but these parents do not have time to send them, but some candidates come together.

But on the whole, the number of candidates from the bottom people must account for a small part.

Li Ke personally went to the outside of one of the several test centers set up in Chang'an City to take a look, and there was almost no big difference from the college entrance examination in later generations.

And the heavily armed soldiers standing guard at the door blocked all attempts to get closer.

This time the exam did not meet the requirements that Li Ke wanted, but Li Ke believed that this must be a good start, of course, it is estimated that many people would not have imagined that the original purpose of this exam was for Li Xin.

Li Daozong's biological daughter, Li Ke wanted to see what kind of results she could get in the exam, to be honest, Li Ke had already experienced the happiness of the teacher in later generations.

Tsk, think about the collapse of these candidates when they see their own questions, this feeling is not ordinary, although the real god of learning doesn't care about this.

The news of the war between Goguryeo and Silla Baekje was actually passed on, but for most people, or for most of the gate lord families who could know the news, it was = said.

Like Li Ke, they didn't care about the news at all, in their opinion, this exam was the most important.

During the three-day exam, Li Ke didn't go anywhere, didn't even deal with some government affairs, but waited for a report from Chang'an City.

On the third day, when all the exam papers have been collected, someone immediately seals all the exam papers and transports them away.

And the person responsible for the sealing and transportation of this examination paper is the elite troops of Datang.

Li Ke was randomly selected, which was regarded as a special task assigned to them, and the test papers in each region were graded by local teachers in a fixed place.

The final answer will be announced directly to the public, and it is impossible to gather together, which is different from the imperial examination in history, and the gap between the number of imperial examinations in history and this is too big.
