Chapter 1265 Watching the fun is not a big deal(1/2)
When Li Shimin was the King of Qin, he often led his troops to fight south and north. However, he later became the emperor and could not lead troops to fight often. However, Li Shimin also loved fighting. Therefore, although he was in Chang'an, he asked the front-line war report to be transmitted to Chang'an as soon as possible, which means that once the war was fought, Liangyi Hall became the General Staff Office.
Although Li Zhi ascended the throne, this process was still preserved. In addition, Ma Duo of the Tang Dynasty, the report of Goguryeo's victory was immediately spread to Chang'an.
Li Zhi was overjoyed and immediately issued an order to praise Li Ji and Xue Rengui, but at the same time he emphasized that Li Ji would act as planned.
It can be seen that he was still very calm. The reason why he reminded Li Ji was afraid that Li Ji and the others would be blinded by victory and continued to fight. The central government was indeed not prepared enough, and if he continued to fight rashly, it might not be worth the loss.
In fact, even if Li Ji wants to continue to fight, he cannot do so, because there is too few troops, and he cannot occupy it and cannot conquer it for a long time.
However, this good news came in a bad time, because Chang'an is now completely immersed in the atmosphere of scientific research, and the streets and alleys are discussing the matter of scientific research, and the court is also working hard to create an atmosphere of scientific research, and the joy has diluted a lot.
This Tang Daily also helped the court to analyze various scientific examinations, but let alone, the people really like to read them, and they have to sell them all in half an hour, because Han Yi completely analyzes them from various alternative perspectives, finds rules from previous scientific examinations, and even directly analyzes the admission ratios of high-ranking surnames and poor scholars, as well as the interesting stories of scientific examinations in previous years. Anyway, it is just entertainment.
You should know that this big test is not only a court to select talents, but also a struggle between scholars and common people. When Han Yi provoked this war, both sides agreed to end this big test. Therefore, as the big test approaches, the atmosphere on both sides is tense, and neither side can afford to lose.
As for Han Yi's words, Li Zhi just asked him to help design some questions, but it was not his turn to set the questions. Even the little ink in his belly could not give any questions.
Han Yi is only responsible for the examination of the University of Science and Technology. Regarding the examination of the subject, Li Zhi gave Han Yi absolute power, because no one except Han Yi can produce it. It is too polarized. Han Yi has no ability to participate in the Jinshi subject, and if he wants to participate, no one can produce it except him.
However, in the Jinshi exam, there are many people who can give questions. As the chief examiner of the Jinshi University of Science and Technology exam, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu participated in the question when discussing the question types in advance. The real examiner who gave questions was Li Zhi randomly selected some ministers in the court to make them "mysterious" disappear, and they would not appear until after the scientific exam was over.
There is no reason to ask the examiner to set the questions. In this case, it would be too simple if the examiner wanted to cheat.
The confidentiality of the test questions is still done well!
Han Yi had already done the test papers for the subject. Basically, it was all junior high school mathematics. In ancient times, mathematics was only at this level. On the eve of the University of Science and Technology exam, he didn't have much to do. He originally planned to concentrate on taking care of two pregnant women, thinking that he would be very busy, but he didn't expect that it would be so relaxed. This is the benefit of the big family. One side is pregnant and the support from all sides, and he doesn't want to interfere in any matter. Instead, he thinks he is clumsy.
Today, Han Yi was driven out by Xiao Wuyi's eldest aunt and asked him to live in Beixiang for some time. However, he only took Xiao Wuyi to Zhaoyi Academy with Xiao Wuyi.
There is no way. Han Yi dared not offend these aunts and aunts now because he really couldn't take care of pregnant women and had to rely on them. He could only go back to Beixiang. But when he was passing through Qian's rice shop, he found Qian Dafang sitting in the store with abacus and sighing.
"Old money."
"Ouch! Brother Han"
Han Yi looked at him and said, "Not good!"
"What's wrong?"
Qian Dafang was shocked.
Han Yi said with a serious expression: "Old Qian, I ask you, have you lost money recently?"
Qian Dafang took a deep breath and said, "How did Brother Han know?"
Han Yi laughed and said proudly: "To be honest, I have learned a few tricks from Wang Xuandao to see my face recently."
Qian Dafang immediately believed it and said, "Can Brother Han help me see if my money is worth it?"
Han Yi was stunned and said, "Is there any worthwhile money?"
"Of course, I donate to those candidates, naturally to seek rewards."
"Wow!"
This time it was Han Yi's turn to gasp, "You are the iron cockerel, and you will also donate to the candidates?"
Qian Dafang said angrily: "Brother Han, I donate to the candidates every time I take the big exam."
Han Yi said in shock: "Why did you do this?"
Qian Dafang said in surprise: "You don't know this?"
Han Yi shook his head.
Qian Dafang glanced left and right and whispered: "These candidates are going to pass the official career. Now we will help them. If they pass the exam, they won't be—!"
"I understand!" Han Yi nodded and said, "Then you donate to the candidates every year, there should be someone in the court!"
Qian Dafang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
Han Yi said again: "So what?"
Qian Dafang said: "To be honest, people who are truly talented have long since joined the ministers in the court. All we can win over are those candidates who are both poor and not very favored. Moreover, even if they get a bet, most of them will turn against each other and try to draw a clear line with our merchants."
Han Yi said in surprise: "Then are you willing to do this?"
Qian Dafang said: "We just provide food and accommodation, which doesn't cost much. Even if they turn against each other, it's okay. But if we meet like Ma Xianshou, who is talented, not favored by others, and whose family is poor, then we will give it."
Han Yi felt very sad when he heard this, and said, "You are more difficult than winning the Mark Six lottery!"
"What is Mark Six?"
"nothing."
Han Yi said again: "Everyone does this?"
Qian Dafang said: "That's not the case. Only businessmen with some money at home do this."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Good luck."
Qian Dafang suddenly blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Han is the chief examiner of the department."
Han Yi said, "Yes! I don't know how much money you have to bribe me."
Qian Dafang laughed.
Han Yi shook his head and walked out of the store, but he felt a little sad for these businessmen. They knew that once the candidates passed the exam, they would immediately turn against them, but they were still willing to continue to support the candidates, and their purpose was not for money. This shows that the status of the businessmen is indeed not very good.
With this hard expectation, the day for the scientific examination has finally arrived, divided into two major subjects, each subject three subjects.
The first to take the exam is the regular subject, namely the Jinshi, the Ming law subject, and the military and political subject. For miscellaneous subjects, you must first pass the Jinshi subject to be qualified to take miscellaneous subjects. After seven days, you will take the exam for the system subjects, mathematics, medicine, and agriculture.
Those who fail the regular subject, or even those who pass the exam, can take the mathematics subjects in the system. This also reflects that Li Zhi is eager to seek talented people and gives candidates as much opportunities as possible. Moreover, the Sixth Scholar of the Scholar of the Scholar is a brand new subject. Although it has been recognized by many people under the publicity of Han Yi, most of them are still aimed at the Jinshi subject. Li Zhi did this to support the Sixth Scholar of the Scholar of the Scholar. If he takes the regular subject, he will not be allowed to take the Sixth Scholar of the Scholar of the Scholar, and then the Sixth Scholar of the Scholar may have a very embarrassing situation.
Early this morning, under the warm autumn sunshine, hundreds of candidates walked up high stairs and entered the examination institute one after another.
"Xuandao, have you divine a divination for yourself?"
Cui Jieren said half-jokingly to Wang Xuandao, who was about to be admitted to the hospital for the exam.
Today is also a big day for Wang Xuandao. He has always wanted to take the scientific exam, but because his master told him not to enter the officialdom, he has never taken the exam. This exam has more significance to him and is a symbol of breaking through his destiny.
Wang Xuandao nodded and said, "It's a bad hexagram."
Cui Jieren was stunned and looked at each other with Lu Shi Gua and Changsun Yan.
Mr. Lu said with a hint: "Xuan Dao, are you afraid that if you fail the exam, you have excuses to find!"
Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "Is it true that Brother Lu's eyes that I am such a person?"
"Of course not." Lu Shigua wondered: "But I think you are not affected by the hexagram?"
Wang Xuan said: "That's because there are variables. I'll go in first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the steps.
Cui Jieren looked at Wang Xuandao, narrowed his eyes and said, "I hope Xuandao can be a high school scholar and win back this dignity for our gentry."
"Haha! There are so many candidates this year!"
Li Zhi, who was standing next to the office of the Examination Institute, looked at the groups of candidates on the steps from afar, and was very pleased.
Li Yifu on the side said: "This is all because Your Majesty reorganized the scientific examination, showing the court's desire to seek talents, which has inspired the world's talents. Therefore, the number of candidates who have applied for this year is about twice as many as the class with the largest number of candidates in previous years."
This is not flattery. The fact is that the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were incomparable to those of the Ming and Qing dynasties. There were many ways to enter the government, and the imperial examinations were just one of them. When reading the official list of Tang Dynasty, basically the parents of officials were all officials. The scientific examinations have not been taken very seriously. However, this time, due to the major reform of the imperial examinations, it attracted attention. In addition, the dispute between scholars and common people has been even more hyped up.
In the past, the maximum number of major tests was about 1,000, but this year it reached 1,800,900.
"OK!"
Li Zhi was extremely excited and said, "Your dear, please choose some truly useful talents for me."
Li Yifu said: "I will fulfill my mission."
Han Yi was also present today, but he was not here to manage the business. He just accompanied Xiong Di and the others to watch the fun.
"Ono, do you know, the people who can come here to take the exam are all top-ranked talents in my Tang Dynasty. Even if I don't pass the exam, it's amazing."
Brother Xiong looked at the candidates and was full of envy. He felt that he was completely different from these candidates, so he admired these candidates very much, but he found the wrong partner.
Ono glanced at his little mouth and said disdainfully: "What kind of top talent are they? They are just a group of nerds. What's so amazing about it."
Brother Xiong was stunned for a moment. Ono rarely refuted his words, so he felt that he should support Ono, and he said, "Ono is right, they are just a group of nerds." As he said that, he suddenly turned to Han Yi and said, "Brother Han, do you think so?"
Han Yi said: "This requires a person's opinion. They went to Beijing to take the exam, and some people still had to ask for help in order to live in Chang'an. Xiaopang, you have already made a lot of money with your own efforts and can support yourself. Who do you think is more powerful?"
Brother Xiong said, "I made no money, but I can't even be a big hit with Brother Han."
Han Yi said: "But 30% of my capital belongs to you. In short, you are much richer than me."
Brother Xiong and Ono looked at each other, and couldn't help but remember the stolen money from the stolen charlatan that year, and their shoulders were so anxious that they laughed.
Han Yi couldn't help laughing at them a few times, and suddenly saw a familiar figure and said to Xiong Di and the others: "I'll go there first."
After saying that, he walked towards the figure. When he came to the man, he bowed and said, "Han Yi has met the Grand Marshal."
This person was Changsun Wuji. He seemed to have not noticed Han Yi. When he turned around, he saw that it was Han Yi. He smiled and nodded and said, "So it's Mr. Han, what a coincidence!"
Han Yi said: "I didn't expect to meet the Taiwei here."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I heard that there are many candidates this year, so I came over to see the fun." As he spoke, he walked along the street, obviously just to say something to Han Yi. He also said, "I don't know what the task of Mr. Han is here today."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Like the Grand Marshal, I am also watching the fun." As he said that, he raised his head to Xiong Di and the others.
