The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 526 The First Imperial Examination ([-])

In 277 AD, in March of the sixth year of Han Guiyuan, the Zhuque Stadium located in the southern suburb of Chang'an, which can accommodate more than 2 spectators, was completed.

This is the closest super-large building to modern times built by the traversers in this era 20 years ago.

However, the building was used for the first time after its completion.But it is not any sports competition, but used as an examination room.

Beginning in the second half of 276, the Jihan government organized the following eleven prefectures and nearly a hundred counties to conduct preliminary examinations.

The entry requirements for the initial exam are very loose: Anyone with an innocent family background, whose family pays more than [-] yuan in taxes for the country every year, and has paid taxes for more than two years can apply for the exam.

Because of such loose conditions and the temptation to become an official after passing the exam.Therefore, the number of applicants for the preliminary examination reached a very scary number: 12!

Of course, there are many guys here who don't know a few words, and they are purely lucky.Therefore, the preliminary examination is very necessary.

However, in order to prevent the aristocratic family from using the name of the imperial examination to control the official career again, the questions for the preliminary examination are also very simple.

Just two items.One, fill in the blanks.Print classics such as "The Analects of Confucius" on the examination paper, leave a sentence between the context and fill in the corresponding sentence.Second, mathematics.And it is addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within the range of integers.

The total score of the two items is 120 points. There is no admission ratio. If you get [-] points, you are considered qualified.

In short, very simple.But these two items alone are enough to reject most of the 12 applicants.

In January of 277, after the examination results of the counties came out.Of those who scored more than [-], there were only [-] people left.

But even so, the size of such candidates is really too large.For a while, the imperial court couldn't find such a large place to conduct centralized examinations.In the end, Guan Yi slapped his head: Isn't Suzaku Stadium about to be completed soon?Just take the test there.It should not be a problem to make 1 compartments by slightly changing the auditorium.Then temporarily build a board room in the center of the site, which is almost enough.

So Li Xiang from the Ministry of Industry came to Dayun: the lawn in the stadium didn't have time to pounce, and he directly started to build various board houses in the center of the field.Moreover, although in Chang'an in March, there is very little rain.But you also have to consider the possibility that God will not give you face.Therefore, the compartments in the stands also have to get a roof...

After working so hard for more than two months, I finally got these things done.Scholars who passed the preliminary examination from all over the country arrived in Chang'an around this time.

……

Wang Dun studied at Luoyang Mengxue for two years, and his grades have always been the best in the school during the two years.This time in the preliminary examination held in Langya County, he scored full marks and passed very smoothly.

Therefore, although he was only 12 years old this year, he was also qualified to come to Chang'an to take the exam.

Leading the Xiping horse that the family bought at a large price, and a saber that was obviously shortened in length was slung around his waist.Surrounded by a group of house slaves, Wang Dun entered Chang'an City.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he felt a wave of heat mixed with the roaring noise coming from the sky.

Over the years, as the Yanda people were completely defeated by Ma Jie and Jiang Su, the trade routes in the Western Regions became more and more prosperous.And Chang'an, as the starting point of the Silk Road and the distribution center of various materials across the country, has become extremely prosperous.Therefore, at the beginning, when Ji Han had just entered Chang'an, Guan Yi imitated the rules of the later Tang Dynasty and limited the market to one square area.After only five or six years, it has become anachronistic.

So Guan Da Sima followed the good example and expanded the one square city to four square cities in the southeast, northwest and not to mention.Ordinary small businesses and hawkers are also allowed to set up points in designated areas or along the streets at regular intervals.As a result, Chang'an City is noisy and noisy all day long.

"Hey! This Xiaolang is from the east, right? Why is he still wearing jadeite from Nanzhong around his waist? Here is nephrite from Khotan in the Western Region. Would you like to have a look, Xiaolang?"

"My little man, the big horse behind you is a crossbred horse from Xiping Racecourse, right? How can such a good horse not wear better decorations? Here are special saddles brought from Persia, all of which are studded. Jewelry, do you want to take a look?"

"Xiao Lang, the saddle is ready, do you want to come and see my armor? The original strip armor production technology imported from Rome, the red helmet tassel, and the sun-engraved eagle flag can be specially customized according to Xiao Lang's figure... "

"This is the first time for Xiao Lang to come to Chang'an, right? Do you want to hire a tour guide? It only costs [-] yuan a day. Whether you want to shop or go sightseeing, I can help you clean and tidy!"

As soon as he entered Chang'an City, Wang Dun was surrounded by a group of gangsters.The servants of the Wang family are also very embarrassed at this time: In recent years, the aristocratic family has been restricted very tightly. With the spread of "The White-haired Girl" and so on, ordinary people with mud legs have become more and more afraid of the aristocratic family. less.Dog slaves have seldom done things like relying on the majesty of their masters to pretend to be tigers.Besides, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Han Empire.I don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles in the city are domineering here, and if they don't do well, they will be slapped in the face.

Therefore, in the face of this gang of helpers, the servants of the Wang family could only tightly surround their young master.There are loud reprimands, and it is absolutely unacceptable to take out a whip to drive away such things.

"Ahei!"

"Brother?"

"Hehehe, everyone, this is my relative. When I come to Chang'an, I will welcome you, so I won't bother you."

The one who came to pick up Wang Dun was Wang Yan who had been scoured badly when he first arrived in Chang'an.

Although it was very embarrassing back then, who is Wang Yifu?His skin is as thick as a city wall.Therefore, he survived tenaciously in Chang'an.After one year's appointment as Lang Guan expired, he was favored by Anping Palace and invited him to be the Chief History of the Palace.

"Brother Suichong knew that Ah Hei was coming today, so he asked Da Sima for leave yesterday. He is waiting at the mansion right now. Come with me."

"Well, everything is up to you, brother."

As a Qilin'er who has been given high hopes by the Langya Wang family, Wang Dun's knowledge is definitely not low.But everything in Chang'an now makes him feel very novel.

The ten-foot-wide Suzaku Avenue is entirely paved with cement, which is nothing.After all, although there are no such wide streets in Luoyang City, the cement has hardened.

What surprised Wang Dun was that most of the buildings facing the street were four or five stories high.What's more, some have reached a height of more than ten floors.

"Brother, are these all made of cement?"

"Yeah, this thing is indeed extremely miraculous... But these years, the output of cement has not kept up with the demand at all. It is said that the imperial court is already considering releasing the technology to the people."

"Hey! That's a good relationship. My family must find a way to bid for it this time."

"Well, for this matter, Brother Suichong has ordered that all industries in the family should be tightened to avoid long-term occupation of a large amount of funds. The purpose is for this. Sigh, but our family can see this, and other aristocratic families can also see it. That's it. No way, it will be a sky-high price again!"

"That's true. After all, whoever gets the cement formula, it can be said that his family will be invincible within a hundred years."

"Well, this matter ultimately depends on the strength and determination of each family. Ah Hei, you have to be careful when you arrive at Brother Suichong's house later. Not only you are here today, but Yu Yu who came a few days ago Shi, Xie, Xun, Huan...there are all young talents coming to the house to gather. You have to be careful. Don't let people look down on our Langya Wang clan."

"Brother, don't worry, these Henan aristocratic families...By the way, brother, who are the guys here today?"

"The Yu family is Yu Chen Yu Zimei, the Xie family of Yangxia is Xie Heng Xie Deping (grandfather of Xie An), the Xun family is Xun Song, and the Huan family is Huan Hao..."

"That's not right, brother. Except for Xun Song who is the same age as me, the other three have passed their thirties. Besides, Huan Hao already has official positions in the court."

"Didn't Da Sima say this time about the imperial examination? Officials in the imperial court are not allowed to refer to it. If you want to take the exam, you should resign first and then refer to it. This Huan Hao resigned from Yilang's position and then referred to it."

"Yeah, that's right. I've been a general and I've been an idler for two years. Instead of going on like this, I'd rather get a good grade in the imperial examination and turn over... This Huan Hao is really courageous."

"Brother Yu is ashamed, brother Yu doesn't have that courage."

"Hehe, you don't have to be like this, brother. Everyone has their own ambitions. By the way, brother, apart from these Henan aristocratic families, are there any other outstanding ones?"

"Well, Brother Yu, think about it. Well, by the way, there is a man of the same age as you from Fan Yang, whose surname is Zu and whose name is Ti. It is said that Mengxue in Youbeiping was evaluated by the teachers there as excellent in civil and martial arts. There is also a , the illegitimate son of Wang Chen from the Wang family in Taiyuan, named Wang Jun, I heard that he is also very famous in Taiyuan. In Liangzhou, Zhang Gui’s voice for stability is also very high... In addition, there are also references from Soochow. One named Tao Kan, this year, has an extremely famous reputation in the country of Wu."

"Heh, a guy with such a great reputation dares to come to Chang'an for reference? Aren't you afraid that his family will be punished by the clan?"

"It is said that it was sent by Sun Hao from Soochow, and he wanted the scholars of Wu to win the top prize in the first imperial examination of the Han Dynasty."

"Hmph, Sun Yuanzong has a good plan."

"It's not that Sun Yuanzong thinks so, Ah Hei, this time the imperial examination. Even the foreign race has sent many people to refer to it."

"Is there anyone from other races for reference?"

"Of course. On Xianbei's side, there are Murongxin, Duan Qizhen, Tuoba Yulu and others for reference. They are all guys who have studied in Chang'an Mengxue for five years. In addition, there are people from various tribes of the Xiongnu and Qiang people for reference."

"It's interesting and interesting. Being able to compete with the best talents in the world is really a life-satisfaction."

"Ah Hei, don't rush to sigh. In fact, these people are nothing."

"Ah? Why do you say that?"

"Ah Hei, think about it, who is the one who set the questions for this imperial examination? Da Sima. Although the two sons of Da Sima have not been in the Central Plains in recent years, many sons of the veterans of the Fuxing Society have just arrived at this time After finishing your studies, it's time to start your official career!"
