Dean Liu hugged the warm blanket, sighed contentedly, continued to splash ink, and wrote lines of examination questions on the rice paper in front of him.

Seeing that there was not enough ink on the pen, he subconsciously wanted to ask his old wife to help send the ink that might have frozen to the stove to warm it up, only to realize that he was already in the warm examiner's room.

Although the emperor directly appointed him as the examiner of this imperial examination and then sent him to the examiner's room a bit fast, but after knowing that all the colleagues present were sent here by the emperor in this way, Dean Liu didn't have any complaints .

The few of them discussed it in private, and felt that the emperor sent them to the examiner's room so quickly, and they were afraid that those descendants of aristocratic families or those who went astray would break through the threshold of their house, in case one of them moved their minds The emperor had to choose another batch.

The facts were not much different from what they guessed, except that when the emperor ordered them to go down, the guards were led by the straighter guards, so that the examiners entered the examination room without even bringing their underwear.

Fortunately, after Chu An reported to the emperor, he prepared a set of clothes in advance in the examiner's room. He was afraid that the examiners would not take care of themselves and that the close-fitting clothes would be damaged or dirty and there would be no new clothes to replace.

This also made Dean Liu, who was originally resistant to this new examination room, feel very complicated. After discovering that there was floor heating under the examiner's room, and even the cold wind of January in the capital could not blow into the warm roasting officer's room, he felt very sorry for Chu An. The design of this examination room has let go of some repulsive psychology.

After all, he had to write the questions in the chilly wind of the capital. If it was in the original examiner's room, he would probably call the imperial doctor now.

And after staying in such an examiner's room for three or four days, Dean Liu even wanted to install this kind of floor heating in his home, at least so that the old wife would not have to fill the hot water bag every day.

But after thinking about his own salary, Dean Liu still left this matter behind.

With the passage of time, it came to February, and the cold wind was still bitter. Candidates were shivering in the cold wind at the entrance of the examination institute, and the hot water on the tea stand next to them was robbed. When it was time for the examination hall to open, the opening time of the examination hall was earlier this time, but the examinees ignored this problem as they were able to enter the windproof room earlier.

Because of the anti-cheating regulations set by the first emperor, the candidates were all wearing thin single clothes. Some candidates who were in poor health were already prepared for this narrow escape, but they did not expect to enter the examination room as soon as they passed the documents before the examination. Inside a warm shed.

This shed is very warm, and it warmed up the candidates' bodies in a short while, and even made some candidates feel alive.

I saw the guards who came to invigilate the examination and said solemnly that the renovation of the examination room was all due to His Majesty’s kindness, so that the candidates could remember who it was because of standing so warmly now. After the candidates expressed their gratitude to the Holy Spirit, Next is the test before the exam.

Candidates who took the scientific examination for the second time obviously found a different process from the previous one.

Originally, the entrainment test required removing all the clothes on their bodies and carefully inspecting all the parts of the body that could hide things. That humiliating experience made the candidates feel ashamed and angry, but for the sake of their own bright future, they had to hold back. I was ready to be humiliated once, but I didn't expect the person in charge to check this time not those guards, but young men with sharp eyes?

From the calluses on their hands and the way they walked, some candidates found that they were very similar to the children of those martial arts schools, but why did those children of the martial arts school appear in this examination room?

This question can be asked by chatting with Chu An, who found a job for his fellow disciples of the Qianji faction. The Qianji faction is good at making hidden weapons, but because of the recent iron restriction order, their weapons are almost reduced to It's wooden, so how can it be lethal?

This also led to the Qianji faction, except for those disciples who are more good at business or who are originally from rich families, the rest of the disciples are not very rich, and this time they are sent to work here in Chu'an. Ideas on your own weapons supply.

The children of the Thousand Machines faction really worked hard, especially the gadgets made on the construction site saved Chu An a lot of energy, especially after contacting Chu An, a person with modern thinking and strong hands-on ability, they developed There are a lot of black technologies, although they are all made of wood because of the iron restriction order.

However, concentrating on making hidden weapons caused the disciples of the Thousand Machines School to be able to see at a glance how many hidden weapons were hidden on each other's body. When they played this small game again, they were seen by Chu An who came out for a walk after chatting with the emperor. up.

The emperor had just given a mission to find some Chu An who are good at identifying hidden objects on other people's bodies. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. After playing the game they are good at with this group of Qianji faction children, and after replacing the hidden weapons with paper, Chu An was satisfied. nodded.

So this is the reason why the disciples of the Qianji faction stayed here, thanks to the fact that the cement shops have spread almost all over the country to fill up the emperor's small private treasury, at least they can pay the children of the Qianji faction and so on.

The disciples of the Qianji Sect were a little nervous, they had never seen so many Juren, and now their eyes were on the future of these Juren.

The disciples of the Qianji Sect took a deep breath, quickly scanned the crowd, and asked one of them to take a few steps to look around from time to time.After such an action, the selected candidates all entered the checkpoint on the side.

Not long after, the guards came out and nodded at the guard commander. Without exception, all of them had cheating objects hidden on their bodies, and all the cheating candidates were sent to the prison. The hysterical shout made all the candidates present tremble. There was lingering fear in my heart, but then it turned into anger.

Such candidates are ruining their bright future.

After passing through the incident at the checkpoint, these examinees finally entered the examination room. The iron locks were locked from the outside, and each door was equipped with a large tank filled with water. It is not that there have been fires in the capital. Such a mistake, so even though the house was made of cement, Chu An still equipped each door with a big tank.

After entering the examination room, the candidates realized that although the examination room was not as warm as the shed before, it was still slightly warm, but where did the heat come from?

After seeing the object emitting heat in the room, most candidates put their hands on it subconsciously.

It was a kang, big enough to accommodate a grown man, and it was obvious that this was where they rested tonight.

This made those candidates who came in with the mentality of narrowly escaped death really feel a little bit at a loss, but then this loss turned into gratitude to the Holy One, who even valued them candidates so much, and even spent a lot of money to build such an examination room. They remained in a comfortable state of answering, and if they failed the exam again, they would not be able to face the kindness of the Holy One for them.

Candidates finished the imperial examination this time in such a comfortable posture.

When he walked out of the courtyard, the servants who were waiting outside were afraid that his young master would be carried out, only to find that his young master came out by himself with a rosy complexion, except for his face, which seemed a little a little bit because of the intensive answer. With a dazed look on his face, it was as if he had just returned from a trip, not like an imperial examination at all.

The examinees were taken back to their homes or inns by their families, while the examiners continued to stay in the examination hall and correct the papers of these candidates.

After batching and batching, the examiners were surprised to find that the overall quality of the candidates this time was better than before, and there were even a lot of good articles, which made it difficult for them to decide the top ten. In the end, they gritted their teeth and decided the ranking When only the top three are left, the results can no longer be discussed.

In the end, the examiners decided to hand over the final choice to the superior.

Just when the emperor was having a headache about how to choose the rankings for the three rhetorical yet pragmatic articles, these candidates began to praise the renovation of the examination room after regaining their spirits.

Some candidates said that this repair not only saved his future, but even saved his life.

And when he learned that the renovation of the examination room this time was that the emperor personally found the emperor to put down his dignity for these candidates, there was a wave of praise for the emperor among all the candidates.

In it, there is also a lot of praise for the voluntary merchant who is willing to lower the price and accept the emperor's request to repair the examination room at the cost price, which directly caused the passenger flow of the Ping An Inn to soar during this period, and even their three It is impossible to live on each floor.

Many candidates also want to get acquainted with this heroic and courageous volunteer businessman. However, after asking the congregants who work in the store, the congregation touched the back of their heads honestly and said: "You are looking for the owner. The owner is not in the inn or the house. Specifically, We don't know where we went, after all, it's the owner's itinerary and we dare not inquire about it."

Candidates had no choice but to regretfully ask the congregants to remember to notify him if the volunteer came back.

So where is Chu An now?

Chu An inexplicably felt his ears warm up, looking at the newly built five-story residential building in front of him, which was letting the system check the safety index of the residential building.

"Host, don't worry, the reinforced concrete structure and the floors are not very high, and the foundation is well laid. Unless this building is directly blasted and demolished, otherwise it will not be a problem if it persists for 100 years intact." The system gave Chu An a reassurance, and Chu An breathed a sigh of relief.

In 100 years, with the speed of modernization after the emergence of cement, I am afraid that this building will be demolished in 50 years.

After there is no problem with safety, the customer group must be considered now. The customer group that Chu An settled down is those small officials in the capital, small traders, and craftsmen who come to the capital to make a living.

Those people can only live in large courtyards, and those with a little money can buy small courtyards for two people, but the environment is small, and those large courtyards Chu An also inspected on the spot. is public.

Chu An didn't believe that these petty officials didn't want to leave the courtyard, but most of them suffered from lack of money, and the housing prices and rents in the capital were too high.

So now is how to let these people know that there are some homes for sale and rent suitable for them.

What kind of channel is there that spreads widely and is easier for people in this era to believe?

Chu An's gaze slowly shifted to those knights who sighed at the building.
