Chapter 824 Luoyang Imperial Examination (1)(2/3)
People in Luoyang may not be all hospitalized, but when it comes to Liu Xuande, it is very talkative.
The old man enthusiastically explained the many stories that happened in Luoyang City during this period to the guest who looked like a ranger, and others also said something.
In the old man's story, the ranger heard that there was a man, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who angrily scolded the treacherous slander in the palace and hit the pillar. He did not kill him. He went to the palace again and advised His Majesty again. This second time, he finally persuaded His Majesty to become His Majesty.
The imperial examination that was widely circulated in the city was held by this Yishi Liu, who wanted to select all kinds of talents for the court, regardless of origin, only talent was given.
(There is such a hero in Luoyang...) The hero was thinking about it, and he had the desire to see the truth.
——
The imperial examination is scheduled for April 12th, and there are still several days left.
Liu Bei was nervously preparing for the imperial examination.
During the time in Julu, Liu Bei personally experienced an imperial examination. Although the military advisor was responsible for planning the imperial examination in Julu, Liu Bei helped him know the details.
In the Julu imperial examination, there were only a few hundred scholars, only a few hundred people, and they used thousands of test papers and took several days.
Luoyang is not as good as Julu. Luoyang City is only one city, with hundreds of thousands of people all over the city. There will inevitably be many candidates participating in the exam at that time.
The first question is the test paper.
Suppose that tens of thousands of people will get ten thousand test papers in one subject, and ten ten subjects will get ten thousand test papers.
Liu Bei asked Emperor Ling to collect all the papers in the city. If the paper is not enough, he needs to subscribe to 500,000-foot cloth. This huge number surprised Emperor Ling. Liu Bei said that it would not be possible to support it without such a number.
Emperor Ling had no choice but to ask someone to check the national treasury and prepare to go back and forth.
Emperor Ling deducted the search. If it weren't for the fact that there was a NTD law in front of him that had accumulated a lot of money, Emperor Ling would probably not want to hold the imperial examination when he heard about 500,000-foot cloth.
Liu Bei wanted 500,000-foot cloth, but he was still conservative. 500,000 feet, which corresponds to 10,000 candidates. If you answer a test paper, it would be only five feet cloth. If you only have five feet cloth, you can't write too many words.
With the cloth and the examination room, the Emperor Ling freed up the Imperial Military Academy and prepared to be the examination room for the imperial examination.
Just so happens that the Imperial Guardian Academy is empty enough and convenient for the venue for the bravery exam of the bow and horse.
According to a small examination room, the candidates were twenty, and the invigilator was calculated by one person, and tens of thousands of people were referring to it. Five hundred invigilator was required. Liu Bei asked Emperor Ling for five hundred Yulin Army to read, and Emperor Ling felt embarrassed.
There are quite a few Yulin Army, and those who can be literate must be screened. Emperor Ling can only let General Yulin go and screen.
After Liu Bei discussed with Emperor Ling, he received approval from Emperor Ling and expected that the ten subjects of the exam were: classics, mathematics, mathematics, law, military strategy, water conservancy, commercial government, agricultural administration, construction, medical skills, and martial arts. These ten subjects were:
Compared with Julu's fourteen subjects, there are four fewer subjects.
With subjects, it is difficult to set questions. Fortunately, Liu Bei participated in the Julu Imperial Examination. At that time, Liu Bei was still vivid in his mind, but he couldn't remember the questions clearly. Liu Bei also knew how to find someone to ask what kind of questions.
Liu Bei asked Emperor Ling for talents who could help him, and Emperor Ling asked the Tai Academy to help.
In addition, it takes many days to finish the 14th subject exam.
Ten thousand candidates need many days to not be able to move around at will, and they have to be responsible for the food, drink, and accommodation of the ten thousand people. Therefore, they must have a house and have to solve the problem of food.
Liu Bei asked to dial the military account and the help of the soldiers in the army, and Emperor Ling agreed.
After Liu Bei coordinated all parties and raised a lot of manpower and material resources, he finally quickly handled all matters before the agreed date of the imperial examination.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! When the rooster cries sounded, Liu Bei, who had been reviewing the test questions with famous scholars all night in Tai Academy, yawned hard. He stood up and bowed to the scholars with fists, "The exam will start when dawn. To avoid leaking the questions, please follow the Yulins, please forgive me!"
Liu Bei had already mentioned the confidential matter in advance, and all the famous scholars were prepared. The Confucians bowed their fists to Liu Bei, "Xuande, I wish you success!" They congratulated.
All the people who can go to Tai Academy to give lectures are very knowledgeable people. They are more like pure scholars. They hold great hope for Liu Bei's imperial examination event to attract talents.
As the rooster crowed, it was not yet dawn. Liu Bei hurriedly took his people out of Tai Academy to prepare for the preparations before the start.
When the sky arrived, the sky gradually brightened, "Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A gong sounded, shaking the tranquility of the whole morning.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
"The imperial examination will be held today!
If you want to refer to it, come and sign up!”
The official tycoon beat the gong and shouted loudly.
"Clang! Clang!"
"The test starts today! Whoever entries can sign up!"
...
The noise attracted the people on the streets and alleys to come out to see them.
They saw that Liu Xuande and Liu Yishi were leading some people through the alley.
Faced with the onlookers from the people, Liu Bei bowed to the neighbors with a smile on his face for a week. He said to the old woman who pushed the door and looked at him, "Old man, are there any talent at home? You can try it."
The young man who was eager to try but was embarrassed to step forward encouraged him, "Little brother, can you give it a try?"
The young man is not confident enough and hesitates that he has no ability.
Liu Bei laughed, "Do you drive the bow? Are you riding a horse?"
The young man replied that he understood the archery and horses a little.
"Then come!" Liu Bei reached out and asked, "Since he understands bow and horse, why not be afraid to give it a try!"
The young man was agitated by Liu Bei and followed.
Liu Bei himself has a strong affinity. He is good at talking and being friendly to others. Not to mention that he is going to the imperial examination, he just goes out for a trip. Liu Bei can also bring in a large group of people after taking a walk.
Some people who wanted to participate joined Liu Bei's team in a row, and some people who wanted to join in the fun also came.
Liu Bei walked around Luoyang City to recruit manpower. The news spread more and more, and more people gathered towards Liu Bei.
By noon, the sun was shining and the crowds reached the peak of heat. The crowds gathered from all directions blocked Liu Bei's team and could not be connected.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were mixed in the crowd. They looked at the crowd enthusiastically and thought about each other.
"Benchu, I'm thinking..."
"I'm also wondering whether we should try to disturb him, so as not to make him Liu Xuande too proud."
"Uh, no," Cao Cao was stunned, "I was wondering, should we both go and try it?"
Yuan Shao turned to look at him, and he frowned and looked at Cao Cao, "Why do you want to go?"
Cao Cao laughed, "It's okay to try it, I want to see what Liu Xuande can do."
After Cao Cao patiently persuaded him, Yuan Shao reluctantly agreed to give it a try.
Cao Cao pulled Yuan Shao and squeezed out the crowd and touched Liu Bei's imperial examination team.
——
On the first day of the imperial examination, Liu Bei wandered around the city and did only one thing just to recruit people.
Luoyang City is too big, there are too many people, and the message is not transmitted smoothly, so this is the only way.
Near the evening, Liu Bei looked at the long queue behind him. He made people shout and asked if there were any people who wanted to participate. It was the night before everything was over.
Soon night fell, and Liu Bei and his men headed to the Imperial Guardian Academy.
It was dark at night, and there was no sight of five fingers. A Yulin soldier entered the venue with a torch. Liu Bei mobilized personnel in the dark, counted the number of people, and lined up. The affairs were chaotic, and Liu Bei did it in an orderly and calm manner.
It is said that since the troops sent by Zhuozhou, the Zhuozhou army has trained troops in the dark every night and operated at night. Liu Bei has had too much experience.
In the crowd, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao disappeared into a corner of Liu Bei's army's field capabilities and night mobilization methods.
After spending most of the night, Liu Bei looked around several times and finally found out the number of people. There were more than 8,000 people who came to take the imperial examination.
The number of people is not as large as Liu Bei expected.
More than 8,000 people were divided into ten teams. After the number of people was divided, it was already midnight.
The scholars who participated in the test entered the tent one by one, led by the feathers.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao got a separate account. After the two of them got the account, there were bedding and bedding that had been prepared early in the morning. Although it was late at night, everyone in the account was sleepless. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao started talking to others.
After chatting for a while, I heard eight other people, some were bricklayers, some were mates in medicine ponds, some were errands in wine houses, and many were low-key people.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly, "A lowly person is worthy of seeking an official!"
The scene became cold for a moment.
Although it was dark and I couldn't see this time clearly, I could feel the awkward atmosphere.
Cao Cao hurriedly cursed, "You Yuan Benchu are not inferior, but do you understand medical skills? Do you know craftsmanship?
Liu Xuandeming said that he wanted to acquire all kinds of talents, are you afraid that he could compare to someone else?"
Cao Cao's words could not be reversed by Yuan Shao's prejudice. Yuan Shao angrily covered his head and fell asleep.
The bedding was not good either, and it smelled moldy, which made Yuan Shao even more angry.
——
The next day, a gong sounded, and amid the shouts of the feathers, the scholars were shouted out of the tent.
Then, the soldier brought the bowl quickly and brought the wooden barrel, which contained the cooked porridge.
All the personnel were restrained by the Yulins and lined up in a long line, one by one, one by the other to get food.
