Chapter 289
"Liu Rushi... a woman?" Liu Rushi came to the examination room according to the time, and the petty official, who had already been a little numb during the examination, called out her name casually. When she was about to step forward for the examination, she was startled by the examinee in front of her. Jump.

"I remember that Yangzhou Mu has issued a decree that women can also participate in the scientific examination, and they can also sign up for the military academy. The little girl came to participate in the imperial examination. Didn't she violate the rules?" Liu Rushi asked rhetorically.

"That's not true, but I didn't expect a woman to come here for reference... Wait a minute, you... There is also the candidate behind who is also a reference? Come out here and wait for a while!" The little official turned to Liu Rushi, and then saw behind Shangguan Wan'er immediately shouted at the two of them, turned around and left in a low voice, "I said why would a woman be in charge of examining candidates..."

Not long after, a middle-aged woman came out, this is the inspector specially hired by the examination room.At present, in order to avoid chaos, even if women are allowed to participate in the scientific examination, it is only for Danyang County.As for other places, it will only start to spread gradually after another three years, depending on the situation.

After all, anyone can imagine that allowing women to participate in the imperial examination and enroll in military academies, this matter itself is very dismissive.

At least, in the past two or three months, Shi Hui has received a lot of persuasion from officials from the descendants of the aristocratic family.Maybe these officials are not happy to work with a woman?

"In case of being surpassed by a woman one day, my self-esteem will suffer a big blow..." Shi Hui joked at the time, "I think so, basically because I don't have any confidence in my ability, or it's true It's just trash!"

"My lord is wise!" Fang Xuanling, who was beside him at the time, replied calmly after hearing the words.The most indispensable thing in this world is those who want to be officials. Even if the children of the aristocratic families all over the world come to boycott, given the current situation, the result of the boycott is nothing but a loss for oneself.

A large number of books are popularized, and three years of free teaching are provided. At the same time, there are preferential policies for lifelong support for Juren.As long as you are sincerely willing to study and are truly talented, even if you were a farmer before, you may not be unable to become a prime minister.

When the aristocratic family can no longer monopolize knowledge and public opinion, the so-called aristocratic family is nothing more than a family with a larger background.No matter who it is, they must abide by the rules set by Shi Hui in the end.

Liu Rushi and Shangguan Wan'er completed the examination, got their test numbers, and then entered the examination room.Unfortunately, the test number that Shangguan Wan'er received was actually near the latrine. Although the test time was only three hours, the process was absolutely uncomfortable.

"So bad luck?" Shangguan Wan'er pouted all of a sudden, but Shi Hui's face immediately appeared in her mind.It's not that Shi Hui did it on purpose, but that this fellow said before that 'luck is also part of strength'.

"Hmph, even in such an environment, I'll show you a good result in the exam!" Shangguan Wan'er cheered up immediately.

The test time is three hours, and the content is mainly the general knowledge of Chinese and mathematics.The examination stipulates that official script is used for writing. If it is written in cursive script or seal script, it does not count.As for regular script, Zhong Yao doesn't seem to have invented it yet, and even if he invented it, he hasn't had time to popularize it.

The Eastern Han Dynasty used the most, in the final analysis, it was Lishu.Official official documents are actually used in Lishu.

"Go back and take a shower quickly!" Three hours passed quickly, and Shangguan Wan'er came out. Fortunately, no examinee went to the toilet during the period, otherwise it would be very troublesome. Even so, she still felt that she had a strange smell on her body.

"Hee, there's obviously no smell at all." Liu Rushi teased, "How did you do in the exam?"

"It's not difficult at all! As long as you work a little harder, you can basically pass the exam!" Shangguan Wan'er replied casually.

In the next two days, the two still entered the examination room after being checked.In fact, in response to this point, some people actually suggested that candidates should simply be allowed to stay in the examination room for three days.One can give them more time to think, and the other doesn't have to check repeatedly.At the same time, it can also allow some poor and unencumbered candidates to have a place to stay.

At that time, Shi Hui accepted their opinions "humbly" and rewarded the proposed officials well.Of course he took this into consideration, especially in this era of brush writing, the writing speed is too slow, sometimes it takes an hour for hundreds of words.

Anyway, the test will take three days. According to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, arranging single rooms for candidates to take the test is indeed the best choice in terms of the traffic conditions in this era.But of course he won't say that this is what he did on purpose. If it's a policy and he considers everything to be perfect, then what chance does his subordinate have to show off?

The key is that as time goes by, subordinates also start not to think seriously, their ability cannot be improved, and good seedlings will be ruined.Shi Hui didn't intend to be Zhuge Liang, so he roughly grasped the direction, and then deliberately left a loophole for his subordinates to think about.

It has been confirmed this time, so naturally it cannot be changed temporarily, it can only be done during the next exam.At the same time, if candidates are tested in a single room, the test room must be improved, or even relocated, which will take time.

"It's done!" Shangguan Wan'er looked relaxed when she left the examination room on the third day.

According to this progress, passing the county examination is nothing more than an easy task. The key is to rest for a month, study hard, and continue to go to the examination room for the county examination, and the hospital examination a month later.

"The list will be released in three days, and we'll have a look at it then!" Liu Rushi seemed much more relaxed.

Three days later, the examination room released the rankings, without rankings, but with the examination numbers and candidates' names listed in order.Such an arrangement method is obviously easier to check than the previous one, and the two quickly saw their examination numbers and names.

"I'm really relieved. I knew I could pass the exam, but before I posted it, I was really nervous!" Shangguan Wan'er patted her chest, then looked at Liu Rushi with a smile.

"I heard that there are more than 3000 candidates in each county this time. If the household registration system was not perfected and the qualification review of applicants was strengthened, I am afraid that there would be at least [-] people who came to the test." Liu Rushi nodded. As for the source of information, Naturally someone.

In this world, there is never a shortage of people who fish in troubled waters. People who have learned a few tricks and plan to take part in the military test. Shi Hui and the others have met them before, and most of them can be eliminated by preliminary elimination.

In terms of literary examinations, there were 5 people at the beginning, but of course there are not so many now. More than 3000 people are relatively normal. After all, it covers the entire Jiangnan scholars. Of course, they are scholars with local household registration and child birth status.

"Brother, do you think I read it wrong? Why are there two names on it, which seem to be women?" At this time, a candidate pointed to the two names on the list and looked at his partner. The names of Liu Rushi and Shangguan Wan'er.

"It's not surprising. I heard that the state pastor ordered that Danyang be used as a pilot to allow women to take the scientific examination, and at the same time, they can sign up for the military academy. Among the people who came to take the county examination this time, there were two women. I didn't expect to pass both of them. .” The partner next to him couldn’t help sighing.

"If they pass this childbirth test, wouldn't they be female scholars? Will they be able to become officials in the future?" the examinee chased.

"If they can pass the exam, they may really be able to become officials. It's just that, in the future, you and I can't say that we will be officials in the same hall as women." The partner next to him couldn't help but sigh.

"It's too early to say this, we have to pass the provincial examination in the second half of the year!" The examinee is quite optimistic.

Many people around also saw these two names, and at the same time discussed, some even recognized the second daughter, but the second daughter had already left after confirming that she was on the list.

Finding that the second daughter is beautiful, many people immediately made up their minds, planning to strike up a conversation, maybe they can make a marriage.But they didn't want to get close just now, but a few soldiers stopped in front of them.

"You two military lords, can you give way?" Seeing these soldiers standing in front of him, the examinee immediately saluted and asked.

"If you want to go there, please do so! But if you intend to harass those two women, I'm afraid you've made the wrong idea! The Shangguan Wan'er on the left is the state shepherd's concubine; as for the other one, she is also the state shepherd's mansion." If you don't want to cause trouble, please don't have any bad thoughts." Seeing this, the soldiers simply told the truth.

"Ah, they still have such identities?" The examinees immediately went into an uproar when they heard the words, "Could it be that the state pastor allows women to take the scientific examination because of the two of them?"

"That's not the case. Both of them came here on the spur of the moment when they heard that women were allowed to refer." The soldier shook his head.

Even so, this result is obviously still unable to satisfy the curiosity of these candidates.Some conspiracy theorists naturally thought that the Shihuihui allowed women to participate in the imperial examination mainly to take care of the second daughter.Immediately there was a lot of gossip, and some people even counted Liu Rushi as a forbidden man of Shi Hui.

When the incident got serious, it got out of hand immediately, and even many candidates came to the government office, knelt down and begged Shi Hui not to be obsessed with women, and not to let the witch's "cholera policy" and so on.

"I haven't got a concubine yet, but there are so many rumors. Why do you feel that the progress is a bit fast?" Shi Hui frowned when he saw the movement outside, and looked at Jia Xu who was beside him.

Jia Xu nominally worked as a civil servant in the government office, but actually helped Shi Hui to gradually establish an intelligence system.Next month, Shihui will recruit spies and assassins, and the intelligence system will inevitably usher in a qualitative leap.

"As expected, there must be someone behind to add fuel to the flames, and please give my subordinates a day to investigate." Jia Xu heard the words, and knew that there was no way to continue to be the background, so she could only come out and reply.

"This matter should be done as soon as possible, and don't let the situation get worse!" Shi Hui nodded.
