Wuwei Academy was originally a short distance from the county seat of Wuyi, but in the past two years, a large number of people have poured into Wuyi, and the speed of expansion of the city is jaw-dropping, and now, the two are about to be connected together. Fortunately, when the academy was first built, Li Ze planned a large enough site for it. Compared to the dense houses in the city, one after another, this place is very different. In the past, those buildings were hidden in the trees, between the bamboo sea, it was more quiet in the noisy, climb high and look into the distance, you can not only see the prosperity of the city, but also can overlook the majesty of the green mountains in the distance, and you can also enjoy the waves of the river, the grand occasion of a thousand sails racing.

"Li Xiang, the front is the exam area this time." Zhang Hui accompanied Li Ze's side with great interest, pointed to the area separated by a walled area in front of him, and introduced.

"According to Li Xiang's plan, the old place in the past will be used as the living area of the students, eating, sleeping, and leisure are concentrated in this area, and that area will be a place for simple study and exams in the future."

After passing through the Moon Gate, the still slightly chaotic field appeared in front of everyone's eyes, because Li Ze was coming, all the workers were on vacation, and in the field, except for the Qianniuwei soldiers on duty, there was no one else to see.

The main body of the building has been completed, and it is obvious that some final renovations are underway.

The large trees with the thickness of the bowl mouth have been cut off from their branches, and only a bare trunk and main branch remain, distinguishing the houses into distinct areas.

"The area closest to the old academy is the study area of the inmates, the middle area is the study area of the tribute students, and the back piece is the study area of the students." Zhang Hui introduced: "The students are admitted to Wuwei Academy, the first year is a student, the second year is a tribute student, the third year is a supervisor, three years later, the prisoners will participate in the scientific examination, the one who is lifted, naturally is to be an official, and those who are not promoted, will be reserved for them for another year of probation, during this period, they must choose a practice for in-depth study, and then by the Ministry of Officials unified division to various departments or places as officials. Zhang replied.

As long as you are admitted to Wuwei Academy, it is equivalent to holding the job of the imperial court, and you can directly participate in the national examination without going through the county examination and the government examination, which is naturally a great benefit for the students of the academy, but the three-year period is also a big pass.

"These people have become officials, can they still participate in scientific examinations in the future?" Xue Ping frowned and said, "I think it's a little inappropriate to take an exam for life." ”

"Naturally, you can take the test." Zhang Hui said with a smile: "But they have to go through the county examination, and the government examination can come up, and once they decide to retake the examination, he must also resign from public office, which is also to ensure the fairness and fairness of every student in the scientific examination." ”

"Can a clerk become an official in the future?" Han Qi asked.

"Yes!" This time it was Cao Xin who answered, "Those who have made outstanding achievements in their respective positions can naturally be promoted, but compared with officials who have passed the scientific examination, it will naturally be much more difficult, and the channel for promotion will be a little narrower." ”

"It's a system of survival of the fittest." Li Ze stroked the trunk of a tree and said, "But we won't close the other gate, the upward passage is always open for everyone." Even if he passes the scientific examination and becomes an official from the right path, if the corpse is vegetarian, he will naturally have to roll up and leave. A triennial scientific expedition, a triennial inspection, Dr. Yang, how did the Yushitai do about the detailed rules for the merit inspection of officials every three years? ”

Yang Kai arched his hand and said, "Li Xiang, Cao Shangshu and I are doing the final touches, and we will submit it to the meeting for finalization later." ”

Li Ze nodded: "Our officials, in short, are just one sentence, those who are capable are up, and those who are inferior are down." Talking about grades, everything else is for nothing. ”

Everyone nodded silently.

"The reason for this regulation is also to prevent some inmates from not seeking to be motivated and messing around in the academy, when they were in Chang'an in the past, many inmates were so virtuous and wasted state funds in vain." Zhang replied.

Every student who is admitted to Wuwei Academy, from students to tribute students to prison students, already has a court subsidy, not only in the academy to eat and drink for nothing, but also a monthly subsidy, if there is no one time limit, I am afraid that after a few years, the academy will not be able to fit.

"Every student, just like these big trees, when they come in, they are almost this virtue, bare, they can't see anything, we can create a good environment for them, we can water and fertilize them, but in the end, what they will look like, it depends on themselves, you see, these trees, now they look similar, but when the spring flowers bloom next year, they will be different, three or five years later, some will become big trees that can shelter people from the wind and rain, and some can only be cut down as firewood and burning." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Li Xiang rest assured, we try our best to make every big tree survive and make this place full of greenery." Zhang Hui smiled.

Li Ze nodded: "Zhang Shangshu, when the Wenju exam started, it was the middle of winter, how was the life of the candidates arranged at that time?" ”

"This has been prepared for a long time, and it is not only for this exam, when these buildings were first built, they were all laid with fire dragons, even if the outside drips into ice, the house is as warm as spring, and it will never delay the candidates. Considering that it is not easy for candidates from other places to stay in Wuyi, we have also vacated a large number of vacant rooms to accommodate them, and the bedding and other bedding are all military materials drawn from the treasury of the military department. Zhang replied.

"Zhang Shangshu is thoughtful." Li Zezan said, looked back at the officials of the various ministries behind him, and said: "This is the Enke after His Majesty's Northern Hunting, and it is also the first scientific examination of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court. ”

"Yes!" Everyone present gave up their orders.

The Luncai Ceremony, no matter at that time, was the country's top priority.

After inspecting the entire examination room, everyone returned to Zhang Hui's public hall in Wuwei Academy. Sitting in a room full of bookshelves on all four walls is also unique.

"Zhang Shangshu, let me introduce you to the relevant matters of this scientific expedition!" Li Ze drank tea and replied to Zhang.

"Yes." Zhang Hui stood up, arched his hand at everyone, and said, "Everyone, the biggest difference in this scientific expedition is that the name system is pasted. After the end of the exam, the candidate's name and place of origin will be pasted, and the circle will be opened after the completion of the reading circle, so as to avoid malpractice in the marking process as much as possible. This is one of them. Second, this time, Li Xiang and I jointly wrote the test papers, and the questions would be sent to the printing workshop of Wuwei Academy the night before the exam to be printed overnight. During this period, the printing workshop will be under full martial law, and all those who have access to the examination papers, including the book printers, will not be allowed to leave the place. Third, the examiner who marks the papers, after the end of the exam, will be personally selected by Li Xiang from the various departments to mark the papers, maybe all the adults here will be entrusted with important tasks by Li Xiang! ”

Everyone smiled and nodded in approval.

"In this examination, there are 30 jinshi and 100 jinshi." Zhang replied.

There was a gasp in the room. Unlike Wuju, which only has a total of 480 people to take the exam, Wenju has nearly 2,000 references, and this acceptance rate is too terrifying. If you count the county test and the government test, the two levels of the eliminated people, the scientific examination can indeed be regarded as a single-plank bridge crowded by thousands of troops.

"Those who are Jinshi and the first can enter the major departments of the imperial court, and those who are the same as the Jinshi and the first will be sent to various states and counties to grind." Zhang Hui continued. "But this year is Enke, and next year is the first scientific expedition of the Eight Classics, so they will have a second chance, and after that, they will have to wait for three years." Zhang Hui smiled and said: "Of course, in next year's scientific examination, the acceptance rate will still be like this." ”

Everyone is coriander, but because it is so strict, it makes them feel more comfortable, this threshold can not be too easy for people to step in, too easy to get, naturally will not be cherished.

"During the exam, all the security work will be taken care of by Qianniuwei." Zhang Hui's gaze looked at Chu Sheng, who represented Liu Ruyan, the general of Qianniuwei.

"Li Xiang rest assured, Zhang Shangshu rest assured." Chu Sheng bowed and said: "We will definitely send the best officers and the best soldiers to the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Here in Taichang Temple, we still need to prepare a large number of doctors and medicines." Zhang Hui's eyes fell on Tian Lingzi, who came to Wuyi specifically for this scientific expedition.

"After receiving Zhang Shangshu's official letter, we are preparing." Tian Lingzi nodded again and again, most of his teeth were gone, and now he basically didn't open his mouth when he spoke, and his voice sounded weird. "Jin Yuan personally led the team to Wuyi to sit in the town to ensure safety."

"In this case, I have no problem, thank you for your great help." Zhang Hui arched his hand and smiled: "When this scientific expedition is successfully completed, Zhang Mou will be the east and cook in person, it will be Li Xiang, I will also be cheeky to ask Li Xiang to personally sit a dish for you, please feast, Li Xiang, are you willing to give Zhang this face?" ”

Li Ze laughed: "I haven't cooked for a long time, I'm afraid that my skills will be rusty." As long as everyone doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to revisit the craft. ”

"I can't ask for it." The room suddenly erupted in laughter, Li Ze made a good meal, which is recognized by everyone, and Zhang Hui's wife was born in a beautiful family, and her ten fingers did not touch the spring water, and when she lived in the countryside and was self-reliant, it was also Zhang Hui's father and son who cooked, and their cooking skills were not bad.

Li Ze clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this scientific expedition is a major event for us, and it is also a declaration to the world that our Zhenzhou Imperial Court is orthodox. This point, from all over the country rushed to Zhenzhou to refer to the example is a clear proof, but Luoyang pseudo-Liang, but also prepared to hold a scientific expedition at the same time, but we have been preparing for a long time, they are in a hurry, who is higher and who is lower, it will be clear at a glance when the time comes. Of course, we must also guard against the sabotage of the pseudo-beam here, so during this period of time, everyone must be vigilant. ”

"No!"
