Chapter 252: Admission
Thank you very much for the reward!

Look around for candidates from your county. The roll call of the government examination was based on the county, and he was happy to see that there were many merchants selling things. There are all kinds of sellers, some sell the four treasures of the study, some sell clothes, shoes and hats, and some sell food. Moreover, there are some candidates who are buying headscarves, clothes and shoes, and there are also those candidates who have lost their books are selling the four treasures of the study, making a mess.
"So expensive?"
Luo Xin heard the angry voice of a candidate, and laughed in his heart, if you don't kill these candidates at this time, when will you kill them? Sure enough, the scholar who was shouting angrily finally bought a pair of shoes.
"There!"
Lu Daqing, who was beside him, panted and pointed to a big lantern not far from the right, at this time the sky was only slightly bright, and the lantern was extremely conspicuous, with two big characters written on the lantern.
Yanglin!
Luo Xin knew that it was the gathering place of candidates in Yanglin County, so he squeezed there, Lu Daqing still grabbed Luo Xin's clothes with one hand, and squeezed over with the bookcase with the other.
"Luo Case Chief!" Some early candidates under the big lantern saw Luo Xin and greeted Luo Xin.
"You're early!" Luo Xin squeezed in front of him, wiped his sweat and smiled.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh together when they saw that Luo Xin's clothes were also torn and his shoes were also dropped. Someone said:
"Boss Luo, hurry up and buy clothes and shoes."
"I'm prepared!"
Luo Xin smiled and opened the burden in his arms, first took out his shoes and put them on, then took off the ragged shirt on his body and put on a new shirt. The surrounding candidates couldn't help but give Luo Xin a thumbs up.
"The head of the case is the head of the case, and it is thoughtful."
Luo Xin didn't explain, and the replaced things were not easy to throw anywhere, so he put them in the bag and handed them to Lu Daqing. Then he took the bookcase from Lu Daqing's hand and said:
"Daqing, you go back."
"Childe, I'll wait for you here."
"You go back first to report to Brother Haode and Brother Ziyu that you are safe, and inform them that I have come in."
"Hmm!" Lu Daqing nodded, turned around and squeezed outside.
At this time, almost all the scholars from each county had arrived, but the noise gradually became quieter. Luo Xin silently observed everyone, everyone's expressions were different, some were full of confidence, and they were laughing and talking with the Confucian students beside them, and some were nervous. Even the legs are shaking slightly. Some were silent with anticipation on their faces.
Looking at the thousands of candidates in front of him, Luo Xin couldn't help sighing. The demise of the Ming Dynasty is, in a way, also perished in the hands of scholars.
Everything is inferior, but reading is high!
Under this trend of thought, too many people chose to study, and then poured into the officialdom, bringing a flood of officials and bloated institutions. Moreover, the privileges that scholars have allowed them not only to be exempt from taxation after obtaining fame, but also because of the privileges they have. Let the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty be concentrated on the scholars, and the country's tax burden will be pressed on the poorer and poorer people.
The bloated officials caused political difficulties, the people who were burdened with more and more taxes could no longer survive, and the privilege of scholars hurt the economy of the Ming Dynasty. The emphasis on literature and light on military force hurt the armament of the Ming Dynasty.
This political, economic and military damage has made the contradiction of the Ming Dynasty bigger and bigger, and in fact, the Ming Dynasty has begun to go downhill.
What's even more terrifying is that no one pays attention to this kind of injury. No one paid attention to the hidden danger that was already harming Daming, but Luo Xin knew that when this hidden danger accumulated to a certain extent, it would explode with amazing destructive power.
This destructive force did not break out at the time. This world is the world of readers. But when the contradictions have intensified to the point of exploding, the powerful people have nothing to resist. is like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty.
Luo Xin suddenly smiled, his smile full of self-deprecation. He thought that he was one of these scholars, and that he would enjoy the privilege of being a scholar in the future. Single-handedly change a dynasty......
Let's wash and sleep! I can only do my best to be subtle.
At this time, the door of the examination room slowly opened, and a person wearing a lifting official uniform walked out of the door, and his face swept past the group of candidates with a majestic face.
There was a sudden silence, and the eyes of all the candidates converged on the body of the lifter, and the needle drop could be heard.
"At the beginning of the government examination, candidates must not be crowded, roll call by county, line up to enter the venue for inspection, and then sit down according to the tablet."
As the words fell, Tiju turned and entered the gate, disappearing without a trace. At this time, its own officials began to roll call by county, Yanglin County ranked third, Luo Xin walked into the gate with a bookcase, and waited in line for inspection. Watching the examinees open their baskets or bookcases, there are soldiers who check them the same. Some candidates brought pastries or dry food that were broken little by little, and their coats had to be taken off. Luo Xin couldn't help but secretly say in his heart:
"This government test is much stricter than the county test!"
When it was Luo Xin's turn, the soldier who checked Luo Xin actually grinned at Luo Xin, so frightened that Luo Xin almost threw the bookcase out. He had seen it before, and these soldiers had a dark face, and they were very rude to each candidate, and he had never noticed who they were laughing at.
Seeing that Luo Xin was stunned, the soldier hurriedly checked it and said in a low voice:
"I'm a soldier of Lord White."
"Luck so good?"
Luo Xin understood as soon as he heard it, this person must have seen him on the city wall when he was in trouble, and now he knows his younger brother Luo Qing, so he hastily checked it and let himself go. Carrying the bookcase and walking inside, he thought to himself:
"This is starting to stain the light of the big brother, hehe......"
Carrying his bookcase, he found his compartment according to the number plate. The entire government examination is divided into eight examination rooms, and Luo Xin is divided into the second examination room. There are cubicles in the examination room, and each candidate occupies one cubicle.
There are three government examinations, divided into three scripture and three policy discussions, and the policy treatise is usually two, which is required to be written in the form of eight strands, for a total of three days. These three days are to be spent in this compartment, as if they were locked up in confinement for three days.
Luo Xin entered his cubicle, placed the bookcase under the table, then took out the rag from it and began to clean the cubicle. After the cubicle has been cleaned, the candidate has not yet fully entered the examination room. When he heard the sound of crying outside, he knew that a candidate had been found to be carrying a cheat sheet, so he shook his head, put the rag aside, sat on the bench and began to take out his pen and ink inkstone, and then sat there quietly and waited.
After another quarter of an hour, all the candidates finally entered the examination room. I came in with my own promotion, first explained the exam rules, and then distributed the exam papers.
