Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 119 The First Enke of Ming Dynasty

After reading the test questions that Zhu Biao proposed, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more supportive of the imperial examination reform.

In his opinion, if nothing else, this new imperial examination is much better than the Four Books and Five Classics in terms of selecting talents.

Only those who are truly talented and knowledgeable can answer Zhu Biao's questions.

Those rotten scholars who only know how to study will never be able to answer it.

"Okay, for this test, we will use the test paper you gave me, boss." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"I'll make arrangements right now."

Zhu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this, and the worries in his heart were finally completely put down.

Regarding the enke exam that will be held soon.

Zhu Biao was looking forward to it even more.

He wanted to know what kind of sparks these outstanding people selected from local examinations through traditional imperial examinations would have when faced with this new type of imperial examination papers, and how many of these people could really work for the imperial court. Talents.

Yang Qing, the real imperial examination you have been waiting for is finally coming.

Winter to spring.

Time is fleeting.

Soon, it will be the day when Ming Dynasty first encores.

"Master Yang, the students are leaving."

Li Jin had already asked Yang Xian to take a leave of absence from his job at Yangzhou Primary School two days ago. Naturally, he left this time to participate in the Enke Examination.

Li Jin's performance in the past month or so has been witnessed by Yang Xian and others.

From questioning the new learning founded by Yang Xian at the beginning, to understanding the new learning, and now becoming a complete supporter of Yang Xian's new learning, the whole process took just over a month.

During this more than a month, Li Jin carefully studied every teaching syllabus written by Yang Xian, and made a lot of notes and insights himself.

In terms of daily management of the school, he is undoubtedly competent.

During this period, everything was handled in an orderly manner, whether it was communication with other teachers in the school and parents of students, or daily school purchases of various supplies, etc.

In Yang Xian's view, Li Jin's comprehensive qualities are more than enough to be a county magistrate. After slowly accumulating experience, his future is limitless.

Yang Xian naturally expressed his blessing for him to take the imperial examination this time.

Outside Yangzhou City Gate.

Li Jin's voice was heard.

Yang Xian patted the sturdy train carriage in front of him, turned to look at Li Jin, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, I wish you a triumphant return."

For some reason, Li Jin was really reluctant to leave when he suddenly had to leave.

These days, he has become accustomed to life in Yangzhou.

In the morning, he came to school as usual.

I said goodbye to every teacher and student in the school.

The other teachers in the school were all hopeless in their career, so naturally they were not qualified to take part in the examination.

But they didn't feel the slightest jealousy towards Li Jin.

"We are waiting for your good news at school!"

Every child's eyes shone with light, and Li Jin felt warm in his heart as he listened to the blessings.

Thinking of this.

Li Jin suddenly took a step back, and then gave a respectful salute to Yang Xian, who was playing with the train in the distance.

Get up.

He turned around with a smile, held his chest high and walked towards the capital.

a few days later.

Beijing.

These days, the capital is extremely lively.Because candidates from all over the country and all directions come here.

All the inns were almost full.

When the candidates came to the capital and saw the smooth asphalt road, they all sighed and praised that it was indeed the most beautiful place in the Ming Dynasty.

And today, the official exam day finally came.

The candidates all gathered at Guozixue in advance, because the examination room was located in the examination hall inside.

These candidates and students can enter the examination center after queuing up and being inspected one by one.

The entire examination hall is divided into three parts.

The first part is the Mingyuan Building and the Hall, which are the main buildings of the examination institute and are located at the southernmost part of the entire examination room.

Mingyuan Building is the tallest building in the entire Examination Yuan.

Usually three stories high.

The word "mingyuan" contains the meaning of knowing the distance clearly.

In other words, this building is used to invigilate exams.

When the actual examination comes, there will be officials who are responsible for the discipline of the examination room and will climb up to Mingyuan Tower. When they are at a high place, they can have a commanding view, and there is no obstruction in the entire examination hall, so they can have an unobstructed view of the entire examination room.

No matter whether there is collusion or cheating between the examinees, the examinees, the soldiers at the specific proctoring posts, the soldiers and the examinees, or whether there is collusion in cheating inside and outside the examination room, there is no way to hide it.

Then there is the familiar dormitory, which is where candidates take exams and stay.

On both sides of the corridor, these densely packed dormitories are the main body of the Examination Yuan building.

Each cell is very small, five feet long, four feet wide and eight feet high.

It was only a little over one square meter, and apart from a stool, there was only a wooden board that could be used as both a desk and a bed.

In the past few days, the candidates must eat, drink and sleep here.

Just thinking about it makes me feel hard.

The second part of the Examination Yuan is a very majestic building, known as Zhigongtang, which is the office location of the staff responsible for examination room discipline, invigilation and examination paper processing.

The first two parts can be collectively referred to as the outside of the examination hall.

The third part is the real core part of the examination hall. Jukuitang is also called the inner courtyard. This is the place where the chief examiner and room examiner review the test papers in separate rooms.

The inside and outside are absolutely separated. Some use a curtain, so some call the two parts inner and outer curtains, and some use a bridge to separate them.

Of course, there are also direct distinctions made by using a wall of guards.

The purpose is to prevent internal and external curtain staff who undertake different tasks from colluding and committing fraud.

"Next!"

Hearing the inspector's shout, Li Jin immediately walked up with his belongings.

After some inspection, the inspector waved his hand and motioned for Li to enter the designated dormitory.

"go in."

"Yes." Li Jin nodded and walked in.

Among his belongings, in addition to writing supplies such as pens and inks, as well as a few candles used as lamps, there was also a large box full of desserts produced by Ming Kee.

This was specially given to Li Jin by Yang Xian before he left Yangzhou.

These high-calorie foods are very useful in the face of such high-intensity exam situations.

Mingji Dessert Shop in Beijing has also been selling out in recent days.

Yang Xian asked Wang Yuemin to put out a small advertisement to support Enke. As long as he is a candidate taking the examination this time, all desserts will be sold at a [-]% discount.

In the Examination Yuan, the official only provides water, and you have to bring your own food.Taking into account that answering questions will not be affected, candidates usually bring dry food, so that they can at least go to the toilet less and save time.

What's more important is that if you need to bring all the food you need for three days at once, preservation is a big problem, so dry food becomes the first choice.Mostly, just bring some steamed buns, pickles and the like.

Compared to steamed buns, pickles and the like, candidates obviously prefer desserts.
