A few meters away, there were several obviously different people, all of whom were wearing official uniforms and carrying knives at their waists, and they seemed to have at least nine rank ranks, and their temperament was clear, not at all like they were here to check the imperial examination, but like they had come to arrest important criminals.

They stared at every student who stepped forward, and the students who were watching were all slightly pale.

The middle-aged man, who made Su Ziji a little familiar, held a small metal plate in his hand, looked at it, and was stunned for a moment when he looked at Su Ziji.

Su Ziji hurriedly held back his mind and replied to the official who asked him again: "It's the student, Su Ziji." ”

The official nodded, and immediately two people stepped forward to touch Su Ziji's bun, and simply searched his body to see if he came in with something, this is the first investigation.

With the completion of the initial investigation, Su Ziji was immediately urged to move forward.

Su Ziji resisted the urge to go to see these people, and stepped into the tribute courtyard.

"What, there is something wrong with this person?" several military attachés asked when they saw the middle-aged man looking at the young student.

"No, it's just that there have been a few encounters. The middle-aged Gao Yaochen shook his head.

"Sure enough, this errand is not so easy, I don't know how the examination rooms in other counties are like?" one of them nodded and said casually.

"Lord Zhang, it is impossible for the nobles of Tianhuang to be buried here. The middle-aged man glanced at the students behind him with a cold gaze, looked back and whispered: "The sect plate showed that there was an abnormality last night, and if you think about it, you can only take it in today's house, and you can't take it lightly." ”

"In other words, most likely, among these students, then go ahead. The person who spoke was obviously just complaining, and then continued to pay attention.

Su Ziji didn't know that he had been focused on just now, and when he walked into the Tribute Courtyard, he saw four officials holding lamps standing in front of him.

They stood facing the entrance, and the words on the lantern in their hands were clearly visible, and because of the examination citation, the candidates naturally knew which examination room they were going to.

"T-shaped field?" Su Ziji glanced at the test, walked to the lantern bearer who was holding the "Ding" word, and lined up.

As thousands of candidates were shunted in turn, the sky was completely bright, and an eight-rank official came out and said a few words aloud, and the official sang under the signal: "Students enter the ——!"

The four lantern bearers turned around and walked in four directions, while the long dragon behind them also moved.

It wasn't until he finally walked to the T-shaped field and was carefully searched again that Su Ziji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the government examination has been simplified, and the content of the examination must have been much less, it is really troublesome to go down this procedure alone. ”

"I hope I can get it all at once. ”

Sitting in a simple shed, there are simple partitions on both sides, and there is a grass hut on it, and if it rains heavily or catches fire, the students here will surely suffer.

"It's no wonder that the exam was held in April, and in other months, the environment would be more detrimental to the candidates. ”

According to the regulations of this dynasty, starting from the government examination, in order to prevent unnecessary accidents, in addition to the examination citation, candidates are not allowed to bring anything in, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are provided by the examination room, and even food and water are also like this.

The Xingfu test was shortened, only one day, one meal at noon, and you can leave after handing in the article, and at the latest it will be dark, and you will be allowed to light a candle.

Su Ziji didn't think it was easy to do this, in fact, on the contrary, after a few days of the government exam, he could naturally grind the article slowly, but this would require students to have a certain amount of urgency.

If you get stuck for a while, you can't think about it, and you can only sigh and miss this opportunity.

"In line with the climate of the new dynasty, everything needs efficiency. Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh.

The candidates entered, and only waited for a while, and then waited for the officials who distributed paper, pen and ink.

Su Ziji touched a stack of white paper, checked the pen and ink again, and then relieved himself, these are not high-quality products, but they are decent, and no one can find fault.

Although these things are worn out and can be replaced at any time, they can be replaced without problems.

After a while, the official used the lantern to parade around the venue, and the exam questions were displayed on the board, which was the same as during the county examination.

The students who came to take the prefectural examination have all experienced the county examination, so they naturally entered the state quickly.

"Directly tested the strategy?" I originally thought that I would be able to test the recitation, diction, and Moyi, but I didn't expect to skip it directly this time, and only the strategy was tested.

Su Ziji was stunned at first, and his heart was happy.

Although the first two are not afraid because they are familiar with the Pentateuch, they are more advantageous because they only test the theory of strategy.

It is difficult to say what level seven is, and it may not be enough to lift people, but in the government examination, there must not be many children with this level.

And he already has the experience of Fang Juren in the policy theory, and he is even more believed by Fang Ju that as long as he is lucky, he will be able to get it.

"The reason for canceling memorization, diction, and Moyi is because they are all basic skills, and the basic skills have already been tested in the county. ”

"And although they are not difficult, they are very trivial and time-consuming, if you take the exam for three days in a row, the time does not matter, if it is one day, it will squeeze the candidate's time. ”

"It is only natural to cancel the recitation, diction, and ink meaning. ”

As for this policy, it has to do with the flood. Su Ziji raised his eyebrows slightly, there were some surprises that it would be such a topic.

"Although this dynasty has taken scholars, inherited the Great Wei system, and has always focused on reality in order to elect officials and govern one side, but this is only a government test, and it is actually based on such a topic.

Such a thought only flashed, and Su Ziji picked up the pen and slowly wrote on the scratch paper.

"There is no need to seek stability when writing this topic, it is just about controlling the water...... No, it's not just that. Su Ziji's pen was immediately put down again.

"It seems that it is only related to the flood, but in fact it involves all aspects, the silver of the household department, the people of the Ministry of Industry, these are only superficial to know, there will inevitably be other forces involved, this seems to be just water control, it is likely to be a competition between several forces. ”

Su Ziji thought about it again and again, but he still followed his heart, picked up some water control methods that he knew in his previous life, and now he can use them and write them.

But the language is polished, so that it is beautiful, not sharp.

The current calligraphy is much stronger than when it was examined.

The pavilion style written at the beginning was also commented on by Fang Zhen, and now this deficiency has been made up for a lot of experience and hard work.

Although it is not elegant, it is beautiful and beautiful, but it can also give people a sense of uniformity and plumpness.

"In this way, you can not only point to the topic, but also not show your edge, but cause trouble. ”

By the time Su Ziji finally finished writing the draft, noon had arrived, and there were officials who sent food and water to the examination booth one by one.

Because everyone's stomach and intestines are different, the food is cake, not even a little oily meat, the water is also boiled water, and there is no coarse tea.

It's not that the government is stingy, but I'm really afraid that if there is a problem with food and water, whose responsibility is this?

Su Ziji was afraid of staining the paper, so he hurriedly vacated the things on the table for the time being, ate a tasteless meal, and rested for a while before carefully copying the content of the draft on the official rolling paper.

After copying every word, I blew the ink, and dense fine sweat oozed from my forehead, and it took a lot of energy to write in one go.

"Even I'm a little dizzy, what about the other students?"

With a glance, he saw that everyone was pale, and he didn't dare to look more, and he checked it again, and found that there was no problem, and there was no omission of the word by himself, so Su Ziji was relieved.

At this time, it was close to dusk, and some candidates rang the bell one after another and handed in their papers.

"Or, now I can try. Seeing that everything was done, Su Ziji's lips moved slightly, as if he was silently reading his exam paper, and stretched out his hand to put a little on the exam paper.

"Boom" mutation suddenly appeared.
