In the first scientific examination of the new dynasty, the examination room was different from the past. In the past, in order to prevent cheating, there was a small room for one person. After several days of taking the test, eating and drinking were all in this cubicle. They had to report to the examiner before someone took him. Going to the hut, if anyone's examination room is close to the hut, it doesn't need to say.

If it rains, there will be rain leaks in some disrepaired places.

Some candidates are getting older, and they may lose their lives after leaving the exam room.

In the past, there were people who died directly in the examination room.

At this time the weather has cooled down, and it is winter, but it has not snowed yet.

Lin Yuan asked someone to light a brazier in the examination room, and servants would clean it every day. The hut was not built in the examination room, and a wooden door was installed to block the smell.

At noon, there are servants who bring meals in. They are all uniformly prepared food, two steamed buns, and a plate of stewed vegetables with meat and vegetables inside.

But because of this, Song Shizhao and the others have done stricter confidentiality work.

It used to be an essay for three days. The reason for not letting candidates go out was to prevent them from cheating and communicating with each other.

There is no such worry now.

Because there is only one test a day and only one essay a day.

Although candidates cannot go out at night, the examination room will provide quilts and supper. The supper is also simple, only steamed buns and fermented bean curd.

Candidates raise their hands to indicate when they are hungry, they will not eat if they are not hungry, depending on their choice.

But this year I didn't take the math test, only the people's livelihood, and they were all propositional compositions.

The first test is for "merchants."

With only these two words, how to answer depends on the examinee's own perspective.

Everyone looks at things from different angles and answers differently. Maybe there are suggestions that can be implemented.

Lin Yuan even took a look.

Because it is an obscure scroll, and the font is uniformly required, unless someone is particularly familiar with it, you can't help but who is who.

Lin Yuan turned over a bit, somewhat disappointed.

Most of them are clichés, some sing praises to him, and some express that businessmen are chasing profits, not benefiting the country, and harmful to the people.

Very few are truly knowledgeable.

Lin Yuan turned to the middle and scanned a few lines before stopping to take a closer look.

This examinee’s perspective is different from others. He sees the “economy” from the “merchants” and from the local “economy” to the national “economy”.

He didn't express much, but he was very clear and organized.

First, it lists the benefits that merchants are valued.

Then listed the disadvantages.

Finally, based on these reasons, what should be restricted for merchants without hindering economic growth.

Lin Yuan saw what he meant.

Although it is still very immature and there is no systematic theory yet, what he mentioned is indeed the basic national macro-control.

Lin Yuan called Song Shizhao and Song Lian.

"Look at this one." Lin Yuan handed the test paper to Erliang, and then handed it to Song Shizhao and the others.

After Song Shizhao and Song Lian circulated them, their faces were different.

"This candidate must be from a family." Song Lian said categorically.

Lin Yuan asked him: "Why do you see it?"

Song Lian: "The characters are vigorous and sharp, and they are like people. They are self-contained. They are free and easy without losing their edge. They must be practiced since childhood."

The time for the children of the common people to practice handwriting is definitely not as good as that of the children of the aristocracy.

After all, the teacher of a private school is very good, and it is even impossible to teach it by hand.

At this time, people feel that human beings are one character, and a person with good characters cannot be bad.

For the same reason, there is a similarity. For example, Chu Lin, because he looks good, everyone thinks that he can't be a bad person.

Lin Yuan sometimes feels that these people are scheming.

Sometimes I think they are naive.

At least most people do.

"Let him be a flower hunter," Lin Yuan said.

Song Shizhao and the others couldn't refuse the emperor's order.

And they also know that this time the scientific research, the champion will definitely not come out of the family.

It's not even possible.

Most likely, they were from ordinary people or from a family of farming and reading.

Only in this way can ordinary people feel that fame is very close to them.

This will encourage more people from outside the family to study.

Most of the people are like this. They can see the benefits, and as long as there are benefits, they are willing to do it.

Lin Yuan thinks such people are very cute.

If the people are really content with the status quo and have no desires and desires, then he will really have a headache.

I just don't know, will this aristocratic son of Tanhua feel honored or humiliated?

It's hard to tell, right?

The second round of examination is "household registration".

The candidates' articles focused on female households.

Some people think that women’s households should not be established, because this will breed women’s ambitions. They will not be able to play the roles of wives and mothers. They will find ways to seize more power and more wealth. This way men will work harder. They only need to compete with men, and now they have to compete with women.

And in the end, many of them believed that female households would cause social unrest and make people’s lives worse.

To put it bluntly, it is fear.

They fear this system, fear this change.

And they have to maintain their power.

Lin Yuan drew the test paper again.

This time, the exam paper that refreshed him was very interesting.

This examinee believes that female households are only a small part of the household registration.

Household registration should not be based on a family unit, but a person as a unit. Everyone should have a household registration, so that the country can know more about the number of people, men and women in a country. Large households in each city cannot have hidden households, and hidden households are only granted to large households. Silver does not pay taxes to the state.

At the same time, it is also proposed that people should have an identity certificate, and only with the certificate can they move to buy a house or land, and they can get married.

This is also beneficial to taxation, and it can even prevent the existence of hidden households.

His organization is not clear, but Lin Yuan still understands it.

After the three-day test, Song Shizhao and the others selected it and presented it to Lin Yuan in the test paper.

There are many test papers for each proposition, and Lin Yuan wants to select a hundred candidates to enter the palace test.

The name had been cut open, and Lin Yuan could see the candidate's name.

Because many candidates have the same name and surname, the location will be added before the name, and the street name will be added to the city name.

Someone was afraid that the street would be hit, and wrote their own ranking at home.

A month has passed since Lin Yuan was elected.

Because he had to look at each one for himself, Song Shizhao and the others chose to have real talents.

The number was almost the same as Lin Yuan imagined.

Han Ling lives in an inn. The inn is full of examinees. Since the exam is over, the inn has been extremely lively. They talk about your majesty’s exam questions every day, and some people are arguing about it. Fight hard.

Some sang when they were drunk, and the innkeeper was not angry, and looked at them with a smile every day.

Although there is not much money, there are few people who are short of money when doing business in Beijing. What is the point of earning such quick money?

Now the boss only wants a name, as long as one of these candidates can get a middle-class scholar, his business in the inn will never be bad in the future.

Everyone wants to be happy.

If there are more people, it will be even better!

When the waiter came to announce the people, all the candidates looked at the waiter expectantly, as if the waiter was not a person, but a golden bun.

The waiter sang: "Han Ling, a student from Yizhou on Daning Road, Liaoyang, OK, can you be here?"

Han Ling's eyes widened.

The fellow villagers around him all looked at him.

Han Ling's hands and feet were soft, and his face flushed. He shouted: "Yes! The students are!"

Then he stumbled up to the waiter in front of him.

The servant smiled and said, "Your Majesty has called for you to enter the palace in three days. You can wait at the gate of the palace and someone will lead you in."

Han Ling's legs softened and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Long live my emperor!"

The servant didn't look at him, and was about to take the people away, when a student shouted in the back: "My lord! Did you miss someone?"

The attendant smiled and shook his head: "No, only Young Master Han was selected in this inn."

As long as one enters the palace exam, there is a great possibility of becoming a Jinshi.

The triumphant things in life, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, when the title of the gold list.

Although the top two and top three are Jinshi, the gap between Jinshi and Jinshi can be huge.

Especially the top three, with Jinshi, the status is the lowest.

Many people even prefer not to hit and fight after three years, rather than being a fellow Jinshi.

In the same Jinshi, there are really very few who can be extremely human.

One is lucky, and the ancestors bless you.

Han Ling was still lying on the ground, and his fellow villagers helped him up, Han Ling's cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were bright.

The fellow villagers sighed: "Unexpectedly, you are the only one among us."

Han Ling realized that he was a little forgotten, and quickly said, "No matter what happens in the future, we are all brothers."

Although the fellow villagers are sad, they still have spirit. They are still young. They can't wait three years later. They are also ready to return to their hometown earlier. Fortunately, they didn't spend much money on the exam this year.

Those who can pick the top three must be the princes of high-ranking families.

People like them are not picky.

There was a Han Ling from an inn, and Han Ling suddenly became a strange person, and students who had never dealt with before came to ask him.

Ask him how to answer the test questions.

Han Ling said briefly.

The man began to beat his chest and feet: "I regret it! I regret it!"

When Han Ling asked carefully, he realized that this person was off topic.

Besides this person, there are other students who come to ask for advice.

Either they always praised your Majesty, or they felt that they should not give preferential treatment to the merchant.

The innkeeper and You Rongyan paid out of their pockets to invite the students to drink for three days in the inn. Han Ling's expenses were also returned by the boss.

Han Ling repeatedly refused, and the boss said: "My son doesn't know, I have you in this store. Why don't you worry about no money, you will definitely come here! Don't worry, son and I will benefit from each other, and we will not owe each other."

Han Ling had no choice but to get the money back, and made up his mind to pass the money to the boss when he checked out.

He doesn't know what ranking he will get, but since he has entered the palace exam, he has to show all he has learned so as not to pay for the hard work of these years.

As for the students who stayed in the capital waiting for the palace exam, almost every inn has them, and the innkeeper delivers wine to the inn without charge.

The scent of wine filled the streets and alleys, and there were not a few children who were drunk.

The students in Beijing got drunk for three days.

There are also painters who put this scene into the painting and passed it down for thousands of years.
