By the time Li Jia understood the tricks Wu Yue Kingdom played, it was already the end of July.

The emperor was fooled, which meant that the court was fooled. All officials were angry and the generals asked for the battle, but they were all rejected by Li Jia.

There is nothing else. The Tang Dynasty really needs to rest and recuperate. It has not reached the point of fighting with the Wu and Yue Kingdom.

This mute person is losing money, he can only bear it.

However, Li Jia is willing to spare easily.

Regardless of the Buddhist temple, he spent three days patronizing Concubine Yuan and Qian Laier's yard. He could not bully you or her daughter. He tried hard and almost made the girl unable to get out of bed.

However, the women in the Jiangnan water town are indeed extraordinary, they are as tender as water, and there is indeed more water.

Just when Li Jia was busy raising people, the entire southern country and the Tang Dynasty also suddenly became lively.

This is because, this year's scholarship exam has been set, it is the first day of August, when the fragrance of osmanthus flowers linger.

On the first day of August, the first test of the scholar is the first test, and candidates need to go to the county town for the exam.

On August 15th, the second session is the candidates need to go to their state city.

At the end of August, the third and last scholarly exam was held. In the capital city, the imperial court appointed the Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy as the examiner, and Yuan Congjun was in charge of the title drafted by the Hanlin Academy.

However, less than two months after the scholar's examination, the Juren exam was held. The time was set on October 28th, and the exam was also in the city.

It is obvious that the interval between the scholar exam and the juren exam is so short that it is almost connected in less than two months, which is extremely brain-consuming for many scholars.

But it cannot be too late, because in April of the fifth year of Shenwu, the Jinshi exam will be held.

Such a hurry, although tormenting, is a kind of encouragement for scholars.

What's more, even cheating is difficult in such a short time.

Well, to put it bluntly, the examination mechanism is still not sound. After a few more years of operation, more experience will naturally make the days staggered.

Yuelu County.

"Third brother, I believe you will definitely pass the scholar exam!" Ma Sheng looked at his younger brother who was carrying his bags and encouraged him: "When you pass the scholar exam, we will kill this dog in the surrounding years!"

"Third brother, second brother believes in you too!" Ma Er, who was big and thick, also liked his elder brother and said.

"Brother, second brother, wait for my good news!"

Ma Ying smiled and said, "We have been studying in Shu for many years and will definitely pass the exam. Then we will kill the surrounding New Year together-"

The three brothers then laughed.

Along the way, the villagers pointed at Ma Ying who took the county exam, and praised, encouraged, and even ridiculed them. Many people, you have a lot of money, I have a lot of money to put into their hands, or cooked eggs, and do their best to do their best.

After all, if there is really a fellow villager in the county government, it is a good thing for this village to look at a small matter.

Feeling this deep expectation, Ma Ying cherished it more and more.

I came to Yuelu County two days in advance. The inn was already overcrowded and I could only rent a thatched hut to deal with it.

Yuelu County is a newly built county this year. Not far from Yuelu Mountain, relying on the bustling market, there are many people gathering, but the county town has no walls, only a few newly built buildings.

County yamen, county school, and transportation envoy yamen.

Registration for the county examination is very simple. You can just issue the household sheet or even copy your own page. Ma Ying handed it over, and soon he received his license plate.

Wooden, character B, number 56.

"Is this my exam position?" Ma Ying thought to herself, then returned to her room and began to think about it.

The county examination is as simple as registering. Basically, the county magistrate, the teaching officer, and the county will determine the questions and then invigilate the exam together.

Time is only one hour, you only need to fill in some empty questions and write an article.

It can be said to be very simple. According to those who have passed the exam, you can pass as long as you are literate. This is just a screening of illiterate people.

When I arrived at the state examination, it was a little stricter. The exam took one day. This time, in addition to writing an article, I also needed to write a poem, which also looked at mathematics and calligraphy.

When you arrive at the palace examination, it is even more stringent, almost a weaker version of the Jinshi exam. The examination time is three days, including Mingjing, Mingjing, calligraphy, poetry, songs, and strategy.

However, they all end up just by trying it out. After all, they are scholars who only serve as local clerks. The cultural requirements are too high, which is a bit inappropriate.

When Ma Ying took the exam, he didn't know what to do. It was too difficult and the ink in his stomach didn't feel enough.

"Tomorrow, I will be entering these busy months. From a civilian to an official, it depends on the performance of these times!"

...

Jiangxi and Jiangning have been popular since ancient times and the localities are rich, so they naturally have spare no effort to support people to read. There are countless scholars, especially the Southern Tang Dynasty, which emphasizes literature over military affairs, and the emperor likes poetry, songs, and the atmosphere of reading has spread.

Therefore, if there are too many scholars, there will naturally be insufficient official positions. After all, there are only a dozen people in the imperial examination class, which is completely inaccessible.

Even in history, when Jinling was surrounded by the Song army, some people still risked their lives to participate in the last imperial examination in the Southern Tang Dynasty. His desire to be an official was touching.

Other places can only be considered enthusiastic about the examination of scholars and juren, but Jiangxi and Jiangning prefectures can be said to have experienced a long drought and rain, which is terrible.

As a Jinling left behind, Li Xin stood on the wall. Before the third update was over, most people lit candles to make the whole city light brightly.

Whether it was a rich man or a civilian, everyone held torches, opened the door, and sent their scholars out of the door. Then the crowd held torches and headed towards the temporarily expanded left-behind mansion.

The light of fire is like the stars in the sky, and it is difficult to measure.

The police department, which was established for the first time, faced with so many people, not only had to guide but also prevent fires, and it was in an instant that it was extremely painful.

"I hope my son will become a dragon, and the carp will leap at the dragon gate, that's all!" Li Xin sighed and said:

"This is just Jiangning County. There are more than 800 candidates for the county examination, which is shocking. I vaguely remember that the two counties in Panyu County and Nanhai County in Guangzhou had only a few hundred people in the county examination that year, and they could not match the number of this county!"

"This is the prosperous era of literary world!" On the side, Han Xizai, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, touched his beard and stood like Li Xin. Looking at so many scholars, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"Scholars, the fame and reputation of the juren, and the literary style of Jiangning must have risen greatly, and the people's will!"

"It's indeed what the people want!" Li Xin has also read books and knows some truths. Scholars, this trick of seducing people is very effective.

"These few months have passed, and I am afraid there are many more available people in the county and prefecture yamen, which is also a great joy!"
