Dandong City.

The imperial examination is approaching, and many civil ministers and military generals hurriedly come and go to the Yanwang Mansion.

Wei Jiyan led the troops back from Le Rao, ordered the soldiers to go to the barracks to rest, and he personally went to the Yanwang Mansion to report the military situation on the front line to Yang Yue.

Appointed by Yang Yue as a martial arts examiner, from the Dandong examination students, choose people with both ability and political integrity, and have real talent and learning to fill the army.

In the selection of military generals, Wei Jiyan has rich experience, and there is not much difference from the selection of generals in the army, the only difference is to add the art of war.

Wei Jiyan believes that Yang Yue's method of selecting generals is like a huge net thrown into the river, and none of those who have the ability will be selected, so there is no need to worry about mediocre people mixing into the army.

Fan Hengwen was transferred back from Shencheng by Yang Yue, and Li Xuanqi and Xiao Yun were specially responsible for Wenju.

Specifically, Fan Hengwen is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, specifically for Bohai to select officials who are good at handling government affairs, Xiao Yun is in charge of the Criminal Department, selecting students who are good at law, and Li Xuanqi is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, choosing to select officials similar to the Ministry of Rites.

Wen Renyu and Yang Yue specialize in business, and select students who are good at dealing with business and good at economics.

This business is similar to the business school of later generations, Yang Yue hopes that the officials under his command will be different from the imperial court and the imperial court of previous dynasties, so that they can be classified and specialize in the art industry.

If the students who are proficient in business are assigned to various places and act according to the policies implemented by Dandong Prefecture, the economic order in various places will gradually be restored, and the local families will be eliminated from the bureaucracy.

He is personally in charge of engineering, which is also the subject with the least standard selection conditions.

In the past, the imperial court never regarded technology as a study, let alone elevated engineering to the same status as literature.

Yang Yue hopes that by elevating the status of engineering, people will gradually pay attention to the status of craftsmen, so that new technologies will be generated and the atmosphere of the times will be subtly changed.

What's more, he is personally responsible for the engineering examination, whether he wants it or not, in the eyes of the students, engineering is the most favored by him.

Who is in charge of the invigilation news came out, especially Fan Hengwen, Li Xuanqi, Xiao Yun's mansion who was in charge of the literary examination, after dusk, there were often students who brought gold, silver and jewelry to visit.

Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Xiao Yun, know Yang Yue's ambition best, know the importance of the imperial examination to Yang Yue's selection of talents, how dare they cheat for personal gain on the eve of the scientific examination.

In addition to expelling students with ulterior motives, the three of them wrote to Yang Yue and formulated severe punishments for cheating.

For several days in a row, Wei Jiyan, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Wenren Shao, and Xiao Yun either went to Yanwang's Mansion to discuss the examination with Yang Yue, or they were busy with official business in Dandong Mansion to deal with the imperial examination.

Time flies like a white horse, blinking to the day of the imperial examination.

This is a very important moment for Yang Yue and for the scientific research students.

Early in the morning, Wei Jiyan, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Wenren Shao, Xiao Yun, dressed in official mansions, went to Yanwang Mansion to meet Yang Yue with a serious expression.

On the one hand, he finally reported to Yang Yue on the scientific examination, and on the other hand, he went to invigilate the examination in person.

In late June, it was dog days.

The hot weather is like a stove and makes people very uncomfortable.

In the early morning, the morning sun is rising, like gold spilling, and the temperature is gradually hot and dry.

Yang Yue and his entourage, taking a carriage, arrived at the examination place in advance, because of the selection of talents, Yang Yue specially ordered Xiao Yun to build the examination place, called Naxian Pavilion.

Naxian Pavilion battlefield more than ten acres, divided into two layers, the first floor for the student examination place, the second floor for the library pavilion, the collection of books from all over the world.

Standing on the top floor of the Naxian Pavilion to build the attic, Yang Yue looked into the distance with a nervous expression and came to take the exam.

At this time, Li Xuanqi moved closer to Yang Yue and reported softly: "Lord Wang, because Dandong held the imperial examination for the first time and recruited talents, even if the news spread in advance, there were not many people who came to Dandong for the examination.

It seems that only three people have signed up for the business exam, and the number of people for the engineering exam is not much, only more than ten people. There are more than 100 people in the martial arts and more than 200 in the Wenju, but the Wenju score is clear, and with the selection of the examination, it is estimated that only more than 10 people can be recruited."

Li Xuanqi supported Yang Yue's behavior, although the promotion of businessmen and long-term workers will weaken the status of students in disguise, but in the long run, the imperial examination adopted by Yang Yue will allow more talents to be recruited.

The most important thing is that Yang Yue included the businessman and the long bow with a skill into the scope of the scientific expedition, which happened to complement the big workshop and big business policy implemented in Dandong.

According to Li Xuanqi's estimate, if several exams can be held in a row, more professional talents can be recruited, and the policies implemented by Yang Yue, with large workshops and big business strategies, the Northeast will have earth-shaking changes on the current basis in just two or three years.

Hearing this, Yang Yue said: "After all, Pinglu has just been annihilated, and the passage to Dandong in the customs has been opened, and in addition, it takes a lot of money and food for students in the customs to come to Dandong, and there will not be too many students who are really willing to come to Dandong, however, this king believes that after this examination, whether it is Guannei, Khitan, Turkic, or Silla, there will definitely be more students coming here, so the number of students will be more at the end of autumn, and things will develop in our favor."

"What the prince said is true, I believe that with the progress of the examination, this group of students will be entrusted with important tasks, and there will be many students from poor families, businessmen and families, and children of craftsman families who will come to Dandong to participate in the exam, and then, things only need to change in the direction of the prince." Fan Hengwen Dao.

He didn't expect that he was building a city in Shencheng, and Yang Yue, Li Xuanqi, Xiao Yun and others would make such a big move in Dandong.

However, Yang Yue's implementation of the strategy is very conducive to the growth and development of Dandong.

Yang Yue bowed slightly, looked ahead, stared at the students who walked into the Naxian Pavilion, and turned sideways to Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Wei Jiyan and others: "Dandong is conducting the entrance examination for the first time, we still can't relax, we must be carefully selected, recruit virtuous people, and we must not accept it all overnight because Dandong lacks talents."

"Yes!" Li Xuanqi and Fan Hengwen arched their hands.

At this time, Yang Yue waved his hand and said, "It's almost time, you go and prepare."

Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen and the others did not stay for a long time and left the attic in a hurry.

The scope of this Naxian Pavilion is very large, because Yang Yue refines the content of the exam, so it is divided into four different aspects: Wenju, business, engineering, and martial arts.

Wenju and business are held in the Naxian Pavilion, according to Xiao Yun's original construction of the Naxian Pavilion, it is expected that in the future, the number of participants in the Wenju and business will be more and more in the future, so the two examination venues are very large.

The indoor bluestone floor, row by row of exam places, is divided into a small space that can only accommodate one person, and the students sit in the direction, just opposite the back of the students in front of them, and there are wooden planks separating them, and they are left for the invigilator to pass, so it is very difficult to cheat.

In front of each examination place, there is a wooden plaque with the name of the reference student and the subject of the examination clearly written on it.

Behind Naxian Pavilion, the east side is the martial arts arena, which is specially used for martial arts examinations, and the west side is the place for engineering sub-examinations.

At this moment, in the courtyard in front of Naxian Pavilion, dense students gathered, as if a stream came from afar, and finally converged in Naxian Pavilion.

The front yard is lined with soldiers and armor, with a serious expression and a tight guard.

Next to the entrance to Naxian Pavilion, two large screens are written on the rules of the exam and the punishment for cheating. Underneath these rules, there is a clear map of the interior of Naxian Pavilion.

At this time, the students gathered in the courtyard looked in all directions, exchanged their heads and whispered.

For many years, the imperial court has not opened the imperial examination, today, King Yan opened the imperial examination in Dandong, looking at the gold medal plaque in front of him, the three-character dragon flying phoenix dance of Naxian Pavilion, the students present were excited.

After all, King Yan held the imperial examination in Dandong, which will be the best opportunity for many poor students to leap into the dragon gate.

When they exchanged heads, there was a crisp bell ringing not far away, and at this time, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, and other invigilators stepped forward and stood on the steps in front of Naxian Pavilion.

As one of the chief examiners, Li Xuanqi swept his cold eyes from the students in the inner courtyard, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yan provides the best examination place for every student, treat every student well, and I hope everyone will show real talent and learn in today's exam, and don't live up to King Yan's high expectations."

The exam time will start immediately, so you can follow the subjects you have applied for and follow the map on the screen to your respective test venue.

In addition, Yanwang selects talents to pay attention to talent and pay more attention to character, so any cheater will be completely disqualified from the examination and will never be hired."

"Thank you for reminding." Many students bowed, saluted Li Xuanqi, hurriedly gathered in front of the map, browsed in detail, and walked towards the Naxian Pavilion.

Many students walked towards the Naxian Pavilion, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Wei Jiyan, Wen Renyu, Xiao Yun, looked at each other, and walked towards the Naxian Pavilion with a smile.

When he was young, many soldiers sat down, and suddenly there were many more soldiers in the Naxian Pavilion, shuttling in the aisle, and each guard had his back to the place where the candidates were, staring at the students in front of them.

They all looked indifferent, and their eyes looked straight ahead.

Many literary acts, the business students saw the guards with knives in front of them, and their expressions were a little nervous, and they relaxed themselves before the invigilator came with the exam papers.

After about half a cup of tea, the crisp bell sounded again in the Naxian Pavilion, and at this time, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Wen Renyu, and Xiao Yun walked towards the examination room with the exam papers. Exam papers are issued to each examiner.

Soon, the students who participated in the Wenju got the exam papers and hurriedly flipped through the exam papers to watch the exam questions.

Seeing all the students participating in the question, their faces were full of surprise, and there were only three questions in the huge test paper, one of which was the difference between the royal road, the domineering way, and the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Second, on the gains and losses of the Tang Dynasty's statecraft strategy!

Third, how to view the influence of the family gate valve on Datang!

Many students witnessed the exam questions in the exam papers, and even a little afraid to write.
