Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

After the first wave of screening, most of the retained ones were educated people. Although they were not great talents, they could still be called qualified literati.

After a month of revision, the second hurdle of the imperial examination also began.

There are more than [-] counties in Daqin, and each county has an average of more than [-] people, although the number of people does not seem to be very large.

However, the elimination rate in this round is higher than before.

The passing rate of the provincial examination was more than [-]%, but only [-] of the [-] candidates could advance to the county examination, and the elimination rate reached [-]%.

The more than [-] people who can participate in the county examination, no matter whether they can pass the test again and participate in the palace examination, are already considered good and usable talents.

But it's those who qualify for the next round that will really be valued.

Because the county examination is very strict, no matter how the students perform, only one tenth of them can finally participate in the palace examination.

After the county examination is over, the [-] qualified candidates will be able to go to Xianyang City to take the final palace examination.

Of course, there are more than a thousand people after all, it is impossible to pull them all into the palace.

Therefore, the palace examination was divided into two parts. If one wanted to truly enter the Xianyang Palace to meet the emperor, one had to pass another major examination.

The so-called big exam is to gather elite talents from all over the country, conduct a unified assessment, and then select the winners to enter the palace.

Finally, the first emperor Yingzheng appointed the best person in the current imperial examination.

Although the final choice is in the hands of Ying Zheng, anyone who has some knowledge of the imperial examination process knows that the most important thing in the whole process from the first provincial examination to the final imperial examination is the grand examination.

Anyone who can pass the county test is basically a talent, and the big test is to select the best of the best from this large group of talents.

Among the [-] winners of the county examination, only [-] can be selected to participate in the real palace examination, and the pass rate is less than half.

It can be said that this big exam is the core of the imperial examination. The [-] people selected will naturally reach the sky in one step. Even if they are not in the top few, they will definitely be treated well.

And the more than a thousand people who were brushed down, although they were not considered failures, they did not make it to the end after all.

The difference of one step can be described as the difference between cloud and mud.

Anyone who is not stupid knows that among the hundreds of thousands of candidates, only those fifty can truly make a big splash.

In a sense, the previous township examinations, county examinations, and county examinations were all preparations for the grand examination and palace examination.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to see the emperor's face, so how can you get reused?

Therefore, whether you can pass the big exam is even more important than your performance in the final palace exam.

This assessment with the highest elimination rate is the most critical part of the official imperial examination.

After realizing this, many people are thinking about a question, who will be the examiner of the big exam?

The examiners of the township examination are the three elders, such as Youzhi and Youguan, while the county examination and the county examination are in charge of the county magistrate and county guard.

And the big exam naturally needs an examiner, who is responsible for maintaining the operation of the exam and even deciding the final score.

The reason why the big exam is important is not only because the top [-] people must be selected in this exam, but also because this exam is a threshold.

Because the imperial examination was just opened, many systems are not perfect enough.

Whether it is the township examination, the county examination or the county examination, they are all presided over by local officials, and even each county has the power to judge the results.

Although there will be invigilators sent by the central government to participate in the county examination, it is not difficult for the local sheriff and other officials to play tricks.

It is conceivable that the imperial examinations in many places are full of water, and those county and county officials will definitely try their best to promote their younger generations.

It is even possible to accept bribes and make a default appointment.

And this big test is a gate that can block everything.

Those officials spent so much effort to get through the imperial examination for their nephews, they definitely didn't just want them to pass the county examination, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense.

And if the big test can eliminate all those who fish in troubled waters, then what those people have done before will be in vain.

In addition, the chief examiner of the big exam also has a lot of power.

If the chief examiner suspects that there is a problem with a candidate's previous test scores, he can single him out for questioning.

It is even possible to call out the examination papers for the county examination and the county examination.

If it is found that officials help candidates to cheat, then both candidates and officials will be severely punished.

This method is also to deter those county officials to avoid favoritism and fraud.

Of course, the most important thing for the final exam to have this effect is the choice of the chief examiner.

Not only must you have sufficient ability and authority, but you must also be upright.

Only in this way can they withstand the huge pressure. After all, this is also an offending job, and it is easy to be hated by many officials.

Therefore, the examiner of the big exam must have enough weight, if it is the top person.

While everyone was thinking about it, Emperor Shihuang Yingzheng was also thinking about it.

This is Daqin's first imperial examination, and he also attaches great importance to it in his heart, so there must be no problems.

Originally, Prime Minister Li Si was the most suitable examiner for the exam, but after some consideration, Ying Zheng did not choose him.

First of all, Li Si needs to help himself deal with the court affairs. He is very busy every day and doesn't have so much time to do this.

Secondly, although Li Si has ability and status, he is too utilitarian and too good at being an official, so he is not very suitable for handling this matter.
