Many talented officials who were not far from Yecheng rushed to Yecheng after hearing the news of the examination.Tian Feng was sitting on the carriage, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw many soldiers rushing forward with packs in their hands.So when they reached the gate of the city, they could only stop, bring their salutes, and hurriedly squeezed into the flow of people pouring into Yecheng.
Among them there are also children from aristocratic families, and they are also squeezed together with some commoners and poor scholars.No one thinks dirty, smelly, bitter or tired. At this time, the most important thing is to quickly enter Yecheng and obtain the qualifications to apply for the exam.
The registration for the exam has already started from the moment the notice was posted.As of today, more than 5000 people have signed up, and this number is still rising.
This time, although Cao Anmin did not limit the number of applicants, he did limit the number of applicants.
360 five people is exactly the real number of a year.
Looking at the situation in front of me, by the time of the registration deadline, at least there will be no less than [-] people, and [-] people will get [-], which can definitely be called gold in the sand.
Tian Feng believed that after this examination, the Qi State would surely obtain a large number of talents for the state to use.And as the dean of Yecheng Academy, as a candidate for selecting talents, practicing talents, and cultivating reserve talents for the country, this honor can be imagined.
"My lord, should we go back to the mansion first, or go to the academy first?" the coachman asked softly.
"Let's go to the academy first! Talented people come to Yecheng. As the dean, I can't make a mistake at this critical moment, otherwise, I will be unable to escape the blame." After Tian Feng finished speaking, the groom led He ordered to drive quickly towards the direction of Yecheng Academy.
Chapter 629
On the eve of the Spring Festival, it should be the coldest time of the year, but at this moment, Yecheng seems to have revived the spring in advance, and the heat waves brought by the people walking on the street melted all the remaining snow.
Today is the first day of the examination, and there are officials preparing for the examination everywhere in Manye City, and everyone gathers in front of the government office, waiting for the moment when the gate opens.
For this exam, more than a dozen exam sites have been prepared throughout Yecheng, and each place is heavily guarded. Cao Anmin mobilized all civil and military personnel to prevent anyone from cheating and disrupting the exam.
All candidates gathered at the gate of Yecheng Academy early in the morning.After waiting for a while, more than a dozen examiners appeared in front of them one after another.Standing in the center is Tian Feng, the future dean of Yecheng Academy, and today he is the chief examiner appointed by Cao Anmin.Behind him are Wang Meng, Li Ji and other Qi generals Wenwu.Everyone was dressed in court clothes, solemn and orderly.
When the officials saw it, they all bowed their hands and saluted, "Students have met the examiner!"
Tian Feng nodded, stroked his gray beard, glanced at the many students present with his sharp eyes, and said loudly: "Today, in honor of the king, on December 25th, the examination for candidates will be held, and you will gather here, or If you come for fame, or to help the country, if you enter this gate, you will have such an opportunity! Now, Shang Shucheng, please announce the rules of the exam."
Wang Meng took three steps forward, looked around at the students present, took out the documents written by Cao Anmin from the tray on the side, and bowed three times in a row to show his respect.
Seeing such a situation, the officials in the audience suddenly felt the atmosphere tense up.
"The exam is divided into five sessions. The first session of the exam is mathematics! The second session of the exam is Confucianism! The third session of the exam is current affairs! The fourth session of the exam is policy theory! The fifth session of the exam is palace theory! The 360 officials in the four rounds will take the top 360 five to enter the final fifth round. The fifth round will be written by the king himself in time, and all the top [-] five will be admitted, and the final ranking will be decided by the king himself."
Wang Meng paused for a moment, and the officials below began to discuss one by one.
Three hundred out of [-] were selected, and one of the four hundred was admitted. Everyone looked at each other and felt their scalps tingling. It was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Only the winner of all four categories could win the final victory.
And among the 360 five places, poor family officials still account for 250%, which means that there are only [-] places for aristocratic families to compete for.
The complexion of the children of the family is not much better. The children of the family who participated in the examination accounted for more than half of the 3000 people. Although most of them are not direct descendants, they are just side branches, but they are still in the name of the family. The level between them is about the same, and it is far more difficult to stand out from the crowd than the poor family.
"Excuse me, the examiner!" an official stepped forward and asked.
Wang Meng signaled him to come forward and speak.
"May I ask how to distinguish between poor families?"
With a smile on Wang Meng's face, he took out the name tag that every official had in his hand and said: "When you sign up, you all report your family name, and we distinguish them all according to your ancestral home. Use the number written above to find the test location, after entering the test area, review the information, and after checking, the examiner will issue the test admission certificate again."
The numbers in the hands of officials from aristocratic families are blue, while those from poor families are red.There is a number written on each sign, and before the test starts, they have already found the location of the test center according to the number above.
However, no one thought that today's exam would be so difficult.
Countless officials from all over the world gathered here. From the ancestors of Yan and Huang to the present, there has never been such a grand gathering.
Even a fool would want to get it. After this exam, the talents selected will definitely be the best of the best.
"Is it in vain to obey orders?"
"Understood!"
"Okay!" Wang Meng took a few steps back and gave the platform to Tian Feng again.
Tian Feng cleared his voice, stepped forward and said, "Burning incense to worship heaven, worship Confucius first, and then prepare to enter the arena according to batches!"
Everyone came to the bronze statue backwards according to the batch of the examination room, and worshiped.
Looking at the teams of officials in front of him, Tian Feng was inexplicably moved.
Regardless of whether they are from aristocratic or poor families, it seems that they attach great importance to this exam.Talents are all in harmony, and people's hearts are in harmony, so why worry about big things failing.
"Why, my lord also intends to end up fighting with them?" There was a trace of laziness in Wang Meng's eyes, completely different from the dignified look just now.
Tian Feng laughed at himself and said: "Jing Lue was joking. It takes more than 1 students to kill 300 people. I dare not go down and compete with them. If I fail the ranking, wouldn't it be embarrassing and thrown home? How can I, the dean of the academy, be able to sit down?" stable."
Hearing this, Wang Meng laughed and said, "My lord is too modest, too modest!"
At this moment, Cao Anmin is standing in the academy, stopping to look into the distance, feeling like he has all the talents in the world in his palm.
This examination can be regarded as his small contribution to this era, making it available decades earlier. Moreover, the scale of this examination is far larger than that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although it is too hasty, it is not So standard, but it's a great place to start!
More than 1 people took [-] of them. It seems cruel, but it is already enough.
At least in such a closed situation, the poor family officials were given a sufficient opportunity to advance. If it was placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examinations continued to improve, and it would be ten times more difficult to enter the final palace examination than it is now more than.At the very least, today's examinations are considered to be very successful. As long as there are one or two excellent talents among the poor family officials, it is bound to drive more poor family officials to learn.
And relying on experience to gradually master papermaking and movable type printing, it is enough to completely reduce the cost of reading, popularize culture, and break the cultural monopoly of the aristocratic family.As time passed, the threat from the aristocratic family naturally gradually weakened.
In fact, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty carried out imperial examinations and deposed Jiupin Zhongzheng not only because he feared that the family would grow bigger and emptied the dynasty. At this time, the class of common people and landlords is growing, and will soon replace the elites as the backbone of the country. It can be said that it is the general trend to open a course to obtain scholars!
Even though it is not perfect now, as Qi continues to grow stronger and the time is ripe, he will continue to change the system to make the examination more perfect, and finally completely make the examination the only way to select talents.
Just as he was thinking, Yu Wencheng walked in, gave a salute and said, "Your Majesty, your followers are ready, do you want to go on patrol?"
Cao Anmin nodded and said, "Let's go, let's look around."
Chapter 630
As a garden next to the Yecheng Academy, the Wenshuyuan was originally used by Yuan Tan to spend money and money to build pleasure. Since Cao Anmin took over Yecheng, this place was conveniently left unused.
This is the seventh examination room for the examination, with a large area, there are nearly a thousand students taking the examination here.Pang Tong took his own blue certificate and was assigned to seat No. 15 in the third examination room of Wenshu Monastery.
In the examination room, everyone is separated by the same distance. If you want to see the left and right test papers clearly, you must stand up.The ages of the people who took the exam were uneven, there were those old people with gray hair and faces full of dimples, who looked like they had experienced the vicissitudes of time, and there were also those young people who had just reached the crown.
After the officials searched at the gate, all the candidates entered the examination room one after another, and Pang Tong quickly found his seat and sat down.There are three brushes and an inkstone on the table, and nothing else.
Examination stipulates that public officials will distribute pens, inks, papers and inkstones uniformly, and they are not allowed to bring their own. In addition, all issued papers must be signed and then recycled. This is to prevent people from cheating.
Pang Tong was waiting for the examiner to distribute the test papers. At this moment, a few soldiers walked in quickly from the door, armed with weapons, and looked like they were ready for battle.
The soldiers in charge of the examination this time are all soldiers of the Beiwei Army. Everyone is wearing heavy armor and holding a weapon. Even if they are only patrolling, the deterrent force exuded from their bodies, let alone such officials, even ordinary soldiers see They will also tremble with fear.
"All rise."
With a shout, a general at the door walked in, wearing armor and shining with cold light.
