As the yamen officer walked to the other corner of the examination room, there were already many candidates waiting here. They were all the top ten in the county examinations in each county, and they were also crowded. read

But compared to other areas, this place is a bit empty. Although they are all candidates taking the exam, their status and treatment are already different before the exam begins.

"Is this White Pheasant Xiangrui?"

"Hurry up and be happy..."

Several candidates from Zishui County also joked when they saw Bai Gui walking over.

This is teasing him because Xiangrui got the head of the case.

Even though the content of his test paper was good, he didn't rank first in writing. The dozen or so county examination candidates behind him might not have any extra thoughts, and it didn't have much to do with them anyway. But for the top ten on the same list, they don't think that they are one step behind Bai Gui. Although they don't think that Bai Gui's talent and learning are empty, they also think that they are on par with Bai Gui...

There was originally a chance to win the county case title, but due to auspicious reasons, he missed it. How could Bai Gui be pleasing to his eye?

Bai Gui came over. When he heard this, his expression changed slightly and became a little colder. He cupped his hands casually and said nothing more.

The retort made him lose face.

Anyway, the identity of the head of the case means that he must be admitted in the government examination. Watching him build tall buildings, watching him entertain guests, watching his buildings collapse, there are probably a few people in the top ten in this county who can pass the government examination, so there is no need to be angry.

Besides, quarreling in front of the government office is also against the rules and may result in a ban on taking the exam.

At a quarter of an hour, nearly 1,500 people had gathered on several streets of the government office.

In the Qing Dynasty, Xi'an Prefecture had jurisdiction over fifteen counties, one scattered state, and two departments. Only fifty people in each county passed the county examination, which was close to a thousand people. Plus some colleges and universities in the prefecture, the number of candidates who took the examination was really high. There are quite a few.

Although culture and education are not prosperous in Zishui County, the provincial capital is the location of the old capital, and culture and education are not bad in the country. Even if you are lonely, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, which is not something that ordinary cities can compare with.

The dragon gate slowly opened.

The first to enter are naturally the top ten in each county, and these are all titled.

Although the number of people is a little smaller, there are still one or two hundred people, and they still need to wait for investigation. For the top ten counties like them, the intensity of inspections is not bad at all and is very strict.

It is more stringent than the county examination.

Souzi was also professional in his methods. After checking more than a dozen people, when it was an old Confucian scholar's turn, he loosened the old Confucian scholar's braid. When he saw a stack of detailed cheat sheets inside, his face turned cold, " If you really have it, hollow out the braid and put the cheat sheet inside..."

"Come here, catch him and throw him into the prison first, waiting for the master of the palace to take action."

The elderly scholar was dragged away from the examination room with tears streaming down his face.

Bai Gui saw it. His eyes were much sharper than ordinary people. He saw that it was written in English. This old Confucian scholar must have been too old to learn Chinese, so he took the risk to enter the examination room. Otherwise, ordinary people would not care at this juncture. entrainment.

Soon, several more candidates were searched, most of them were slightly older. Some of them hid the papers in the valley, and the searchers dug them into their crotches and pulled them out.

"Please, please spare me. I passed the county exam when I was eleven years old. I took the government exam more than 20 times. I was rejected every time. I finally saw some hope, but the content of the government exam changed again. Already..."

The searchers didn't care about the pitiful cries of these elderly Confucian scholars begging for mercy. They moved swiftly one by one, carrying them away left and right without any sloppiness at all.

At that moment, many candidates behind them secretly threw the prepared cheat sheets on the ground.

There is also an order in waiting in line. Zishui County is not a big county in the government, so Bai Gui ranked lower. After checking seventy or eighty people, it was his turn to enter.

He was about to untie his clothes and loosen his braids, but Souzi smiled, searched a few times, and let him pass.

Bai Gui was stunned for a moment, remembering what the Yamen servant had just said about Zhang Xuexi asking them to take care of him. This should be a preferential treatment for him. There were people in the court who were good at becoming officials, and the same thing happened when they were transferred to another place.

At the same time, he also knew that this might be because these government officials knew his true talent and knowledge. His Japanese proficiency was not bad now, and he was the county chief criminal, so he had no motive for cheating...

Networking is one thing, but without matching strength, you won't let others take a good look at you. He is also powerful but has no connections. He will not be let go so easily this time.

Network and strength, these two are complementary to each other.

After going through the process of interrogating Linbao people, the Linbao for the government examination required two Linbao students, but he knew quite a few people, and there was no shortage of Linbao people. This time, senior brother Wang Ruqin and another senior brother came here specially. Guaranty for him.

After being led to the table in the court by the yamen officer, Bai Gui also took his own paper. In addition to writing his seat number on the paper, there was also a red stamp with the word "tang" stamped on the front of the paper.

The so-called mentioning the title of sitting in the hall means answering under the eyes of the Fu Zun.

Sitting in his seat, Bai Gui secretly took a look at Yin Fuzun. With a serious expression, he stared at the candidates in the hall. He seemed to see Bai Gui's gaze and looked at him again. Bai Gui immediately lowered his head and turned his gaze. Put it on the test paper.

He has been to the government office many times, but has never seen Yin Fuzun. This is the first time he has seen him.

The pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the examination basket are neatly arranged one by one, waiting for the examination to begin.

At this time, only the top ten candidates from Gongtang County were seated, and the rest of the candidates were still waiting at the dragon gate. As the candidates took their seats one by one, the cheating candidates with disheveled hair and shackles were escorted over by the government officials and severely reprimanded by Yin Fuzun.

In the ancient imperial examinations, the treatment of cheating candidates was the most stringent in the Qing Dynasty. The first is the yoke number. Anyone who is a shooter on the spot, fakes his or her registration, substitutes, entraps, plagiarizes, passes on, or does not sit in his or her original number will immediately be put in shackles by the invigilator and announced outside the examination room. The second is to abolish academic status, which is aimed at Confucian scholars with academic status. The third is criminal responsibility. In serious cases, they may be sent to the army or exiled to places like Ninggu Pagoda...

Everyone was as frightened as quails and did not dare to look up.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Zun Yin ordered the government officials to escort the cheaters to the vicinity of the examination booth and display them around. Then, with a slap on the scaffold, several officials came over immediately holding lanterns.

Three policy topics.

The first one: ‘Thailand’s foreign policy often reaps benefits in the name of preserving land. Yulu cited the history of the past hundred years to prove his policy. ’

The second way: "Zhou Li talks about agricultural affairs in the most detail, and all the scholars have the knowledge of agriculture. In recent times, when countries study agriculture, they mostly use personnel to change the climate. The key points are land, capital, and labor. If you can make good use of these three, it will be practical. It is based on intellectual knowledge. Nowadays, the academic system has been revised and classified as a specialist course, hoping to preserve the legacy of important skills. Try out strategies for teaching farmers."

The third line: "The ban on Chinese workers in Amei and Kenya has been a harsh rule for a long time. When the ten-year period expires this year, the letter should invoke public law to refute the original agreement in order to protect the overseas Chinese."
