After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Faced with his little apprentice's coquettishness, Xie Boyuan's first reaction changed from happiness to vigilance. Xie Boyuan crossed his arms, turned sideways and asked Mingjia: "Is there anything you can do?"

Mingjia originally thought about how to word it, but Master said there was no need to think about it, so he just said it. "Yeah! I have a little idea about the college examination and even the provincial examination, but maybe it's a little too big!"

Xie Boyuan. . . . Fine! This is to prepare yourself in advance. "explain!"

Mingjia's idea is very simple. Since candidates will be nervous when they encounter exams, it would be better to take more mock exams. Moreover, it is best if the test questions are as close as possible to the real college or rural examinations.

In order to be more realistic, Qu County can join forces with county schools in several surrounding counties to invest in building an examination venue modeled after the imperial examination in Sichuan.

Then they agreed on a time for students from their own county school to take a mock exam together. The seats and positions were all random, and the students were randomly drawn to choose their seats.

Anyway, the college examinations are conducted by the prefecture and the city, while the provincial examinations are conducted by the capital appointed examiners. Students from various county schools give mock questions, and at most they are regarded as guesswork, but sometimes they are suspected of leaking the questions.

Each county school can take turns to give simulation questions, or each county school can set questions, and finally randomly select the questions. In fact, temporary selection is better, because there are also concerns about the selfishness of teachers in each county school.

All right! Why must other county schools be involved in this matter? It was because Mingjun found out during an undercover inquiry at the county school that his teacher at the county school failed to pass the exam.

And if you want to make the mock exam more stimulating, it would be grading and ranking. Every year when the imperial examination is approaching, it is best to take three rounds of mock tests in advance.

In a word, what Mingjia had experienced in the previous life, this time Mingjia wanted them to try.

Mingjia said most of what she wanted to say. But there was an important part that she didn't want to talk about. However, Xie Boyuan must understand that this matter can easily cause backlash.

In fact, the ancient way of education and reading was this so-called exam-oriented education. Candidates under this kind of education generally have poor abilities in other directions.

Also, this method of uniting several counties will cause dissatisfaction among many counties or other state cities.

At this time, either the initiator has a strong background that can deter some people who want to destroy it. Or expand this mock exam alliance to form a force.

The former requires Xie Boyuan to reveal his identity as the Crown Prince and Tutor. In addition, Mr. Xie is also in Sichuan Province. Together, the two geniuses of the Xie family can attract many county schools and candidates, and at the same time shock many people.

The latter requires the cooperation of at least two or even three states, preferably an alliance of the four northwest states. But this kind of large-scale alliance can really affect the imperial examination. Even Xie Boyuan needs to report to the capital in advance.

After Ming Jia finished speaking, she looked at Xie Boyuan in deep thought. In fact, this matter is really about using Xie Boyuan and Mr. Xie. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do in any form.

Qu County's academic examination results in the past three years have been at the bottom of the entire Sichuan Province. If he didn't borrow Mr. Xie's name and wanted to cooperate with county schools in several nearby counties, people would probably ignore Qu County.

Xie Boyuan couldn't help but follow Ming Jia's words and think about the possible follow-up development of this matter. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. This was going to overturn the entire imperial examination system.

If the alliance of the four northwest states can really be achieved, students from the four states will definitely be able to shine in the Beijing Examination in just a few years. He can even compete with students from the south.

Moreover, if this alliance is in his own hands or in the hands of the emperor. Then if the emperor wants to support students from poor families and resist the control of imperial examinations by aristocratic families, it seems that there will be a lot of convenience.

But. . . . Xie Boyuan came back to his senses and looked at Ming Jia, his eyes full of accusations. "This apprentice has really made full use of his master! Not only himself but also his cousin, so there is really no scum left."

It's rare that Mingjia also feels guilty. She really doesn't blame her for this. She really couldn't think of anyone else who would be suitable, and it was really her subconscious habit to make the best use of everything.

Xie Boyuan knew the weight of this proposal and the consequences, so he had no way to reply to Mingjia now. It is undeniable that he also has unstable genes in his bones.

Of all the developments and possibilities he just imagined, Xie Boyuan is most interested in making things bigger. The four northwest states alliance has the emperor's backing and escort.

Just thinking about this idea made him very excited. With his cousin's ability and reputation, it was really unfair to study in a small county. But if there is an imperial examination alliance, Xie Boyuan believes that his cousin can do a good job.

Ming Jia saw that Xie Boyuan did not object immediately, but kept thinking. She felt that this matter could basically be accomplished, but she didn't know to what extent the master would choose to conduct this mock exam in the end.

Mingjun had been listening to the chat between his master and his sister. At this time, he also knew what his sister's suggestions meant to the students of the county school.

My father said that when I turn 15, my father will send someone to take me back to my ancestral home in Qingzhou to participate in the childbirth examination and the hospital examination. Mingjun is very confident in his knowledge. If he can take more mock exams, I believe he will be more confident.

Mingjia actually wanted to propose adding an arithmetic and writing course to the county scholar A class. In order to convince Xie Boyuan, Mingjia specially compiled all the other rural examination questions collected in the past two years.

If he didn't want to be exposed, Mingjia would have wanted to show the change in the proportion of math questions as a line chart. People who often write PPT summaries always want to insert a chart into the data.

However, it seems that Xie Boyuan has been thinking about the mock exam. Mingjia decided to let Xie Boyuan go first and mention the matter to Xie Boyuan in a few days.

Mingjia said to Mingjun: "Brother, master is thinking about things. Shall we go back to the backyard to eat?" Mingjun. . . . . "Okay! Let's go!"

Although Mingjun felt that it was inappropriate to leave the master alone in the study. However, it seemed that the master had no time to continue chatting with him about his studies.

When Xie Boyuan recovered his thoughts from deep thought, he found that it was already dark. There were no lights in the study, and the two young apprentices were not in the study. Xie Boyuan suddenly became tired of his good intentions, these two unscrupulous disciples.

After calling his servants to come in and light the lamp, Xie Boyuan took out the letter paper. He gathered his thoughts and wrote a letter to the emperor. Once this alliance was established, he might not be able to leave the northwest for at least ten years.

For such a large alliance, the early planning and initial establishment, before it is officially on the right track, must have someone who the emperor trusts very much.

Otherwise, the emperor will not agree to this proposal. There is someone who can be trusted by the emperor and has knowledge and charisma. Xie Boyuan really couldn't think of anyone else besides himself. Even if it was his cousin, the emperor wouldn't trust him.
