Chapter 468 The Imperial Examination Begins

"Jia Fox, Jia Fox! Hahaha..." Seeing the report in his hand, Ma Chao's face burst into laughter, he was very happy.

"Chao'er, do you really intend to let Liu Yue handle the matter of the salt exchange?" Diao Chan frowned, her sixth sense of a woman's intuition made her feel that Ma Chao should have thought about Liu Yue.

"Cicada, didn't you expect it? Mu Yuanfeng said in this report that Jia Huli actually fooled Li Jue and Guo Si and those idiots to stand still when Liu Xie had already issued an amnesty edict. !" Ma Chao was excited for a moment, and he admired Jia Xu so much that he even used the modern standard praise word 'beautiful'.

"Chao'er, I still think it's too rash to let Liu Yue handle this matter. If she contacts Zhang Lu because of this, wouldn't it be another enemy for the Ma family?" After saying these words, he suddenly turned his head to look at Ma Chao.

At this time, Ma Chao also looked at Diao Chan suddenly, and his smile became dull and mechanical: The two of them didn't seem to be on the same channel at all, and what they said was completely wrong!
At this time, Ma Chao reacted very quickly, the sluggish mechanical smile on his face immediately changed into a frowning and contemplative seriousness, and his tone became lower and lower: "Yes, it is indeed a little bit difficult for Liu Yue to do this. Risky. But day and night defenses are hard to guard against. If you just guard Liu Yue all day long, it would be too laborious and futile. What I mean is to let Liu Yue move. Once she shows her feet, then the right medicine can be used. .”

"I'm afraid, you want to take advantage of this incident to see if Liu Yue is tempted by you?" Diao Chan curled her lips angrily. She was very annoyed that she was not as quick as Ma Chao just now, so that Ma Chao took the lead in saying this. Missed the opportunity to punish Ma Chao openly.

"How is it possible?" Just kidding, a man knows how to answer this kind of thing, and Ma Chao is no exception. A certain mind naturally knows."

"A man's mouth, you can tell lies like hell! I can't believe you!" Seeing Ma Chao's brazenness, Diao Chan couldn't change Ma Chao's decision for a while. After a swipe, he swung his waist and walked away.

And Ma Chao, who grinned his teeth in pain, asked the sky with pain on his face: "Why, why did I travel to the ancient times, and I couldn't shake my husband! Could it be that when the blood roared that day, did I also tell Diao Chan the idea of ​​monogamy? !!"

And Diao Chan, who hadn't gone far away, suddenly heard Ma Chao's wailing.A smile could not help appearing on his face, and his mood became happy, and he murmured: "Chao'er, I am not a jealous person, but you are too easy to like... Forget it, let you mess around Well, now that you've become your wife, don't disappoint my infatuation..."

As soon as Diao Chan left, Zhang found Ma Chao, bowed and said, "My lord, the preparations for the imperial examination have been completed, will the examination officially start tomorrow?"

"How many scholars went to Fufeng for the scientific examination this time?" Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked immediately.After all, the imperial examination has been prepared for such a long time, and it is time to bear fruit.

"My lord, a total of 740 people participated in this scientific examination. Among them, Yongzhou locals had the largest number of people, with 870 people. The rest of the scholars came from all states and counties in the Han Dynasty." Zhang unfolded the file in his hand and looked at it. After a glance, he replied.

"Very good, it's beyond my expectation. From this point of view, De Jong must have been exhausting himself during this period of time." Ma Chao has never been stingy with compliments to his subordinates, especially for these very dedicated ancient official.However, after frowning slightly, he asked again: "That old man Cai Yong, why don't you agree to come to the scene in person?"

"My lord, everyone under my command has tried to persuade Master Cai, but everyone is upright and stubborn, and has never agreed to this matter." Zhang Ji showed a shy expression at this time, and then he said bravely: "My lord, let the mistress come forward. , Everyone Cai may think about family affection..."

"No need, anyway, Fazheng has already made arrangements, let the outside world say that Cai Yong was unwell that day and it will be fine." Thinking of Cai Yong who was as smelly and hard as a latrine stone, Ma Chao became angry, and finally made up for it. He said: "What is this old guy doing in the Sheriff's Mansion now?"

"It's nothing more than planting flowers as a poem, but in the poems, there are many..." Zhang Ji's face darkened, and he said cautiously.But Ma Chao directly interrupted Zhang Ji, and said, "You mean to scold me, don't you?"

"My subordinates don't agree with it, but the meaning of thanking the drifting Han Dynasty in the poem is obvious." Zhang Ji bowed his head and replied cautiously.

"You guys are too used to such empty names." Ma Chao shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "Listen to me, let him be a clerk under your account for a while. Let’s just ask him to pay back Chang’an’s life-saving debt. First grind his arrogance, and then I will have a way to make him docile..."

Meeting a superb son-in-law like Ma Chao, Zhang had no choice but to smile wryly, and nodded in agreement, "I obey." After saying this, Zhang bowed to leave, and Ma Chao also imitated Tang Taizong's sao style, stretching his arms, Looking up at the sky, he said with great pride: "The imperial examinations are completed, and all the talented people in the world will be included in the Ma family!"

And after this day, all the princes in the world who watched the Ma family's imperial examination received detailed reports of the Ma family's imperial examination one after another.The imperial examination regulations that Ma Chao planned for the first time finally lifted the veil of mystery to the world.

There is a saying in the imperial examination: All scholars in the world, regardless of age.Regardless of background, no recommendation is required, and everyone is free to participate in the Ma family imperial examination.Yongzhou Muma Chaoqin is the chief examiner, and he intends to serve as the examiner for famous Confucian scholars under the rule of Cai Yong, Fa Yan, Wei Duan, Wei Kang, and Wei Dan. Hua Xin and other prefects are in charge of imperial examinations and appointment and dismissal.

Examination subjects are divided into regular subjects and system subjects. The regular subjects held in installments every year are called regular subjects;Its meaning is the grace that the Ma family bestows on the underprivileged people in the world, and they can be admitted as disciples of the Ma family.For example, this imperial examination is the Enke established by the Ma family.

There are more than [-] kinds of Changke.

In addition to the "Six Arts of a Gentleman" that scholars are more concerned about, there are also subjects such as Gewu, Policy Theory, Professional Arithmetic, and Mingjing.Among them, policy theory accounts for a very high proportion.

The imperial examination is divided into spring and autumn examinations, which are held twice a year.The so-called spring boudoir, as the name suggests, is a scientific examination held in spring.Taking the number of candidates as a reference, after taking the test in the test room.Choose one out of ten, collectively referred to as juren, and when the autumn exam comes, you can enter the county guard's mansion for the big exam.

Therefore, the Autumn Examination of the Sheriff's Mansion can also be called the Ma Family Examination.However, this time the Enke boudoir examination was integrated, and after the examination room for the scholars, they waited for the rankings, and Yongzhou Mu personally wrote the questions and concluded the results.

As a result, the first place was called the champion, the second place was called the second place, and the third place was named Tanhua.A total of [-] scholars were recruited by the Ma family. The top [-] scholars will be listed by the Ma family to show their glory. They can be employed in the two departments of the three provinces of the Ma family, or they can be recommended by the Yongzhou pastor to study in Taixue. Or enter the court as an official.Those who fail the ranking also have two choices.One is to start from the basics in various counties and counties; the second is to take a course in the next year and start over.Those who fail the ranking in the first year will all receive a subsidy from the Ma family to assist the poor in their studies.

Most of the news received by the princes only revealed the vague concept of the Ma family's imperial examination.However, even so, this imperial examination is unique in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, creating a new channel for the Ma family to acquire talents, making those knowledgeable princes feel headaches but helpless.
