The siblings didn't talk much, and soon Su Xiaomei pushed her brother back into the room.

"If you don't sleep now, you won't have the energy to take the exam tomorrow."

Su Xiaomei was very concerned and said that the brothers and sisters have suffered so much, isn't it because of this imperial examination.

"Uh-huh!"

Su Dashan did not refuse, even now he has a lot of nervous expressions in his heart.

In the end, Su Dashan slowly fell asleep with a nervous mood, although his heart was very complicated.

There is a longing for tomorrow, but also anxiety about the future.

Chapter 427 Imperial Examination, Poor Scholars

The imperial examination came as scheduled, and the whole of Chang'an was quiet that day, and Shu An's figure also appeared in Chang'an.

"It's a pity that if I go to take the exam, there must be some incompetence."

Shu An couldn't help murmuring softly, Chang'an City is rarely deserted, and when he returns this time, he mainly comes back to think about some clothes.

By the way, let's deal with the issue of how to recruit students. I believe that there should be quite a few people who choose the academy this year.

The academy has done a lot of things this year, and its reputation has improved a lot accordingly. When he returned to the Shu Mansion, Ming Ze had already packed his things.

"Sir, what you want is ready."

"And Ming wants to go to the academy with him."

Wu Shun's expression was a little apprehensive and he said, because his mother said that all this is because of the master now.

You must know how to repay your kindness, so you can't be homesick all the time and stay in Chang'an.

Faced with this little maid's request, Shu An was lost in thought.

"It's better to wait for the academy to start, let's go study together."

Just when Wu Shun was worried, Shu An made a proposal, anyway, Ya Ya had done this before, adding another Wu Shun was nothing.

However, at the age of ten, he didn't pay too much attention, especially since Wu Shun was his maid.

Basically, as long as he doesn't die, it's probably unrealistic to want to marry someone. For this reason, it is more suitable to enter the academy.

Wu Shun's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be a little surprised. He didn't expect the master to propose such a thing.

She knows how difficult it is for a person like herself to learn knowledge.

And if you read books, you should be able to get closer to the master.

"Everything is at the command of the master."

Wu Shun's respectful voice sounded, even though he was young, he already had his own ideas.

"Ok!"

Shu An said, but didn't say anything more.

During this period of time, Wu Shun has obviously changed a lot, perhaps because he spent more time with his mother and sister.

Compared with being cautious at the beginning, it can be said that it is a lot bolder now.

However, the agility in the pupils is much less, and I think Yang has taught him a lot during this period of time.

"Man, it's better to be more complicated."

Shu An murmured softly, not many people heard this voice, not even Wu Shun.

If it is more complicated, then it will not be cheated to death by others. No matter which era, it is not so simple.

Especially here in Chang'an, it is the center of the complex place.

......

Shu An's return to Chang'an did not attract much attention, and of course there was no need to pay attention to it.

After all, this Duke Anxuan often sees his head but never sees his end. He may be outside Chang'an or within Chang'an.

Perhaps for many people, yearning for the prosperity in Chang'an is the most correct decision.

Of course, Shu An didn't care much about Chang An. If it wasn't for his daughter, he might still be traveling in the mountains and rivers.

In the Chang'an County Yamen, Su Dashan was taking an exam, facing the imperial examination questions, he was sweating a lot.

"Counting it all together, this should be the first time such an exam has been done."

Although Su Dashan was nervous, he couldn't help thinking to himself.

You must know that since he started to read and write, he has never been assessed in this way, and now it is the first time.

Su Dashan didn't know why he was able to persevere at the beginning, despite being stared at by many people, he still didn't give up.

Because of his background, even if he had a lot of anger in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.

After thinking of this, he didn't continue to think about it, but put all his attention on the topic on this paper.

"This time, we cannot fail."

Su Dashan secretly encouraged himself in his heart, and there was only one way to change his destiny.

When the imperial examination was in progress, Li Shimin in the court also took a lot of free time.

Li Shimin, who was in the imperial garden, played with his children for a while, and then picked up a test paper of this subject.

The last time Li Shimin just looked at the general idea, but now Li Shimin wants to answer the questions himself.

"The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease..."

Li Shimin whispered in his mouth, obviously he also likes this poem very much.

It's just that no matter whether it's his original background or his current status, he is destined to have no fate with the imperial examination.

"Have the statistics of the scholars of the Chang'an scientific examination come out?"

Li Shimin asked absently while dancing on the brush and paper.

"Your Majesty, the statistics have been completed. There must be 870 people who participated in the imperial examination in Chang'an, and about 200 of them came from poor families."

On the side, Wang De respectfully said that His Majesty had already ordered this matter.

It's just that it's not so easy to make statistics normally, and now they all happen to be in the county government, so it's natural to judge.

Generally speaking, if you are born in a poor family, you need not say much about the standard. Wearing old sackcloth, paper and pens are the simplest types.

It can be said that the statistics are very good, and Wang De will report as soon as there are results.

"It's a lot more than last year."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he murmured, you must know that the imperial examination has changed since last year.

But at that time, there were not many children from poor families. On the one hand, there were too few places. If there were only thirty places, it would still be the whole world.

It is conceivable that the admission rate is poor for the children from poor families, and it is incomparable with those noble families.

Coupled with the fact that there are so few places, I have already lost confidence and will not participate in this imperial examination.

After the restructuring, the number of places in the ten Dao states is [-], and the opportunities are much greater.

In addition, the imperial examination last year attracted some children from poor families who took the lead in eating crabs, and they also passed the exam, although they lost in the autumn.

However, still being a small official in the government, for many people, it is already a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

This year, the number of participants is even higher, and it can be said that Li Shimin is very satisfied with this.

You must know that this is Chang'an, and it would be good if the children from poor families can occupy a quarter of it. I believe there should be more in other places.

But this reminded Li Shimin of Su Dashan, and his complexion seemed a little ugly.

"I don't know if what Qingque said last time has been implemented?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he remembered another thing, which was the proposal his son gave him half a year ago.

Classifying the common people, helping some old, weak, sick and disabled, and children lost in wars are also considered as one of them.

He continued to explain this matter, but he didn't know what was going on, it seemed that someone still needed to investigate.

If there is no matter about Su Dashan, then Li Shimin still has a lot of confidence in himself, so forget it now.

Chapter 428 enlightenment, plead

Gangnam West Road

Among the government offices of Hongzhou, one after another imperial examination scholars walked out of it.

A young man walked out of the scholars with a trace of confidence on his face, accompanied by a scholar beside him.

"Brother Chen, how about we answer each pair?"

The scholar behind said with a worried smile on his face.

It turned out that this scholar was called Li Shi, and the one in front was Chen Dao, a well-known talented scholar in Yongzhou, Daozhou where they lived.

"How about we find a teahouse and have a good talk?"

There was also a gentle smile on Chen Dao's face and he did not refuse.

Although he was a member of the noble family, Chen Dao's family had already declined.

On the contrary, Li Shi's father is a serious county magistrate, so it would be nice if they can get along well.

"Then it would be better to obey than to be respectful."

Li Shi said without hesitation, he knew a lot about this talented man.

There must be no problem with the other party's candidates, and even this year Qiu Wei even competed for the number of Jinshi to take a look.

Maybe he might have the chance to become a capital official, Li Shi is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do.

.......

After the imperial examination, many scholars were talking about it, but most of them were frowning.

"I didn't expect the test questions to be so difficult this time."

"It's a bit like the question given by Duke Anxuan in the court competition years ago."

"However, these topics have a lot of significance. After all, in the future, high school students must be parents."

.......

The whole world is talking about it, and you must know that in order to ensure fairness, every test question is the same.

Of course, the consequence is that it needs to be prepared earlier, and there is a risk of leakage, but if you use the forbidden army, at least it is much more reliable.

Some people are happy, some people are worried, probably this is the portrayal after the imperial examination.

Outside the academy on the outskirts of Chang'an, Su Xiaomei was already looking forward to her brother's return.

Today is the imperial examination, so the young lady specially gave her a day off, otherwise she still has a lot to learn.

Although many Su Xiaomei feel that they are not useful, they still study hard.

"Brother, how did you do in the exam?"

As soon as Su Dashan came back, Su Xiaomei went up to greet him and asked aloud, with a trace of curiosity in her words.

It's just that Su Dashan frowned tightly, and seemed to have some helpless emotions, because his performance was much worse than expected.

"The rest is left to fate."

Facing his sister's question, Su Dashan finally replied, with a hint of depression in his words.

"Brother, it doesn't matter. Even if you fail the exam this time, there will be another time."

Su Xiaomei showed an encouraging smile on her face and said, you must know that her brother has raised a lot of time before.

Now it's her turn. According to the information from the Detachment of Women, she can get a lot of salary every month.

In this case, it would not be a problem for my brother to stay in Chang'an, so I just happened to talk to that Grandpa An.

Maybe I can let my brother stay in the academy, even if it is doing odd jobs, you must know that the academy has a lot of books.

Su Xiaomei didn't hide her thoughts from this elder brother, and Su Dashan's eyes, which were originally low, lightened up slightly.

"Women's Army, maybe I know who that Miss Xiuning is?"
