Chapter 22 The Imperial Examination of the Great Qi

You know, even if it is the City of Thousand Towers Mage School, every batch of thousands of apprentices, can't pick out so many elite apprentices as fifty.

In fact, for every batch of more than 1,000 apprentices, one third of them can eventually become mages, which is already remarkable!

Many mages were in an uproar, and at this time they realized how clever Dominic's vision was.

And how did Yin Shengzhi find so many elite apprentices? Could it be that the enrollment scale of the newly founded Nanming Island Mage Academy in Daqi is larger than that of the City of a Thousand Towers?

How can it be?

The City of a Thousand Towers is the largest mage school in the world, and the annual expenditure is astronomical, accounting for more than 20% of the entire mage academy's expenditure.

Can Daqi get so much money? Just kidding......

A reckless mage had already asked, "Yin Sacrifice Wine, how did you select so many elite apprentices, do you have any special method for selecting apprentices?"

"It can't be a lie, is it?" said one of Bashak's fellow party members, sneering.

Yin Shengzhiquan didn't hear this, he just smiled and said, "Actually, I just took advantage of it." ”

Everyone was puzzled and looked over.

In fact, his question was very presumptuous.

But most of the mages present were mage professors, and they were academic mages.

And how to choose a mage apprentice has always been a worldwide problem, and no one has a good way to solve it.

And Yin Shengzhi actually has so many excellent apprentices, which makes people wonder if he has found a way.

At this moment, even Dominic and Archmage Raymond listened attentively.

Even those Bashak's comrades wanted to speak and refute at this time, but they were indifferently glanced at by the Dominic Archmage and didn't dare to speak again.

"As we all know, mental strength has a great relationship with intelligence, concentration, imagination, etc. Yin Shengzhi talked eloquently.

After all, today is an academic exchange of mages, and it is also an exchange of mage education.

Of course, Yin Shengzhi can't come up with a real real hammer, but he has to come up with something somewhat.

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this, so when selecting a mage apprentice, any mage academy would try to select smart people......

Of course, if you have enough focus and perseverance, you will also be favored.

Yin Shengzhi said with a smile: "In our Daqi, there is an examination similar to the examination of civil servants, which we call the imperial examination.

Of course, our imperial examinations are much more important than civil service examinations. That's a great way to keep the upper and lower classes moving......"

"Nonsense, what does the imperial examination have to do with us mages? Yin Xijiu hopes you will get to the point as soon as possible!" someone said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, still Bashak's group.

Yin Shengzhi said with a smile: "The reason why I want to explain the imperial examination is because it has a lot to do with the selection of mage apprentices on our Nanming Island! Therefore, I must explain the matter of the imperial examination clearly......

"I know, you don't have to explain much. Our civil service system was first learned from the Kingdom of Alfred. And it is said that the civil service examination system of the Alfred Kingdom was learned from the imperial examination of your Great Qi.

It is said that in Daqi, there is only one way for all elites to get ahead, and that is to study and be admitted to the imperial examination.

Even if you were originally a beggar, a farmer, as long as you can pass the imperial examination, you will immediately be able to take up an official position in the court of the king of Great Qi.

And there is incomparable glory, which is equivalent to the great general who has returned from victory, and even the king has to toast you.

It is even said that sometimes the king would personally lead the horses of those who had passed the imperial examination, and then walk back and forth through the streets in front of the palace, receiving cheers and flowers from everyone......"

Archmage Dominica excused himself and talked about the imperial examination he knew.

Yin Shengzhi was a little crying and laughing, but he had to admit that his explanation was easier for the people of Alliga to understand.

"Yes, if you know the importance of the imperial examination, you should be able to think that all the smart people in our Daqi are all taking the imperial examination.

They usually have to go through more than ten years, or even thirty or forty years of basic study and preparation.

Usually they will start the most basic studies at the age of seven or eight, and if everything goes well, they will be able to be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirty-four.

And when they are not finally admitted, all their tasks are to continue studying, and it can be said that their whole life is devoted to this matter.

And last year, our cough cough ...... Emperor, he stopped holding imperial examinations. That's why a lot of people who already have their original disciplines can only come to my academy to learn mages!"

Yin Shengzhi explained with a smile.

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, he said: "We have tens of thousands of people in Daqi, and millions of people are reading.

And there are at least hundreds of thousands of people who take the imperial examination each time, and the imperial examination is roughly divided into three levels of examinations.

Those who pass the first-level exam are called Xiucai, and there are only a few thousand positions out of hundreds of thousands of people.

Then these talents compete with each other, and the winner of the examination is called lifting, and there are less than 1,000 people who can win and become lifting.

And the people will have the final competition, and the winner will become a jinshi, and there will only be one or two hundred in each session.

Moreover, it should be noted that there is no age limit for the imperial examination, and there is no limit to the number of times. So if you didn't pass the test, you can take the test again next time......

This means that when a person takes the imperial examination, he not only needs to compete with people of the same age, but also with people of lower age, and even with people of higher age.

There are many people who have been in the exam for twenty or thirty years, and even if their hair is gray, they may not be able to get into the least showman!"

Yin Shengzhi only talked about it roughly, simplifying many links, such as Gongshi's without mentioning it.

And these mages couldn't help but change color when they heard Yin Shengzhi's description, and they had a deep understanding of the cruelty of this competition. I even felt that the cruelty of this competition was far greater than that of mages......

Mage apprentices are mainly difficult to recruit, and it is difficult to select enough excellent apprentices.

No one is sure if a person can open his mind before he or she opens his mind.

So the limitation is mainly here!

After becoming a mage apprentice, the competition is actually not very big, and basically those who can become official mages used to be about two-and-a-half of them.

Now, with the large-scale expansion of the Mage Academy, it has dropped to about half!

But in any case, it is still far from this kind of competition with thousands of troops and horses.

"I understand the meaning of Yin Sai Wine, at least those who can be admitted to the imperial examination, even if they are the lowest level of talent, have extremely high intelligence, far above ordinary people, no matter what they learn, they must far surpass ordinary people!"

The mage who had just asked the question recklessly sighed and said.
