The palace examination begins, and the needles in Fengtian Hall can be heard.

The tributes who participated sat down one after another and bowed to Zhu Yunxiu, Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, Liu Sanwu, the chief examiner of the Secretariat, and others opened the sealed box together, took out the test questions for the palace examination from it, and handed them over to the Hanlin Academy clerk, the Ministry of Rites and others to start distribution.

In the hall, there was no other sound except for the sound of paper rubbing.

Although the emperor was the nominal examiner, there was still a temporary invigilator in the examination room. According to the size of the official position, there were document reading officers, document receiving officers, document printing officers, document holding officers, document holding officers, official titled officers, supervisory officers, promotion officers, and conscript officers.

The document reading officer is composed of Hanlin Academy, the Grand Secretary, Zuo Chunfang Academy and others. The promoted officer is the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Internal Affairs. The supervisor is the left and right inspector and the inspector.

Among the candidates, Yang Rong, as Jie Yuan of the Fujian Provincial Examination, sat in the third row in front. As soon as the test paper was issued, Mi Feng went forward and tear off the yellow seal, he could start writing.

As soon as the test questions came into view, he complained slightly.

As the teacher said that day, in addition to the lecture notes on scriptures, there are four articles of strategy and theory alone.

"Ask the emperor's politics and the emperor's heart!"

"The Zhou and Tang dynasties emphasize outside but the inside is less important, and the Qin and Wei dynasties have their own opinions on how to emphasize outside but the inside is more important!"

"Zhuge Liang used his skills without the intention of Shen Shang, and Wang Anshi used the reality of Shen Shang and his reputation was blocked!"

"The roots of land annexation and its harm!"

For a moment, it was difficult to write. After hesitating for a long time, he then wrote his name and origin in the blank space according to the format required by the palace examination and slowly wrote it.

"I said: I heard that when the king's way is coming to control the world, there must be a manager's actual rule, and then it can restrain the crowd, and intricate all kinds of things, so as to lead to the rule of Yongxi!"

"Hong Wei, the Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, was wise and ruthless, and was born with nature. At the beginning of the ignorance, he created the system and planned the ultimate plan for all generations. After the finalization, he established the principles and the great rules of the century, and gave birth to the great rules of the ages."

This is the benefit of getting the moon first when approaching the water. Although his teacher, Xia Yuanji, could not give him a private question. Of course, although Xia Yuanji is, he did not know the question of this test. However, his teacher could still give him the most critical guidance in some places.

When my son was filial today, he asked about the emperor's politics and wrote a poem to praise the emperor.

At least, it is correct to praise the Supreme Emperor, and you will be invincible first.

However, Han Kezhong, who was sitting in the fourth row to the end, had never started writing for a long time after getting the test paper. His eyes were all on the root of land annexation and its harm. Somehow, his mind was full of experiences from his hometown and past years.

After thinking for a long time, I slowly wrote, "The stubborn disease of land annexation in all dynasties. I think that the root of land annexation lies in the wealth, inequality, and natural disasters and man-made disasters. The more rich people have, they buy land at high prices, and the poor people are unable to overcome their hardships. They have to work for a year. If there is a slight natural disaster, even if there are seven or eight acres of oil fields and one or two of them, they will not be able to sell their land to survive."

"In the hometown of my ministers, there are nine rich people in heaven, and only one poor people. The rich people have a ridge of fields, while the poor people have no place to stand. The government reclaims the fields every year, and the rich people may bid at high prices or exchange them with manpower. The poor people cannot get it!"

～～～

In the examination room, there were sounds of writing everywhere.

Zhu Yunxiu sat upright on the dragon chaise, staring at the examination room from a high place. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Liujin sitting on the Jindun, shaking his legs uneasy.

"Be honest!" Zhu Yunxiu scolded in a low voice.

Liujin lowered his head in fear and whispered, "Father, son minister, son minister, son minister wants to get rid of it!"

"Why do you do these things when the critical moment comes?" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily.

"I've been holding it in for half an hour!" Liu Jin blinked and said innocently, "Just just now, I've come here. You said you can't delay the auspicious time..."

"The turtle's shame!" Zhu Yunxiu shook his head and said to the turtle's shame, "Take him there!"

"Abide by the order!" The turtlema quickly agreed, bent down and carried six jin on his back, went down from the elixir steps, and headed towards the side hall.

In the hall, the students were all concentrating on writing without paying attention, while the officials in the examination saw Liujin and let the turtle carry away.

"The prince is also at the age of studying, and the emperor has not yet issued an order!" Inspector Yan Zhenzhi said to Zheng Yi, Minister of Rites, "Mr. Zheng, which scholar do you think this job is on?"

Zheng Yi smiled and said to Liu Sanwu and others who were wandering in the examination room. "The Qingliu people are also staring at this matter, how can I go?"

Yan Zhen smiled, "Qingliu? The iron tripod and stone have been on the ground recently, but some Qingliu can't hold it on his face!"

Zheng Yi smiled again and gave the other party a look that I knew well.

Liu Sanwu was patrolling the examination room with a stern face.

Wherever he went, all the scholars who wrote the pen became nervous. He suddenly stood behind someone, stared at the other person's handwriting for a while, and then walked away expressionlessly.

As soon as he left, the man he saw breathed a sigh of relief.

This person is not someone else, but Yang Shiqi.

"This Yang Shiqi is someone the emperor knows about, so he naturally wants to register. The scholars from Jiangxi will not be too bad at learning." Liu Sanwu said in his heart, "But the admission ranking should not be too high, otherwise it would not be a good thing for him!"

All candidates must confuse their names and hometowns before handing in the paper. This is to prevent the reviewer from meeting people he knows for personal gain. Only after the exam results are finalized can the place where the names are conflated.

In other words, the reviewers do not know whose paper they are looking at, but there are always ways. If you don’t know his name, just remember his handwriting.

If your handwriting is like the person, you will never be wrong. For these people who have been dealing with words all their lives, it is more convenient to remember handwriting than to remember names or even people.

Liu Sanwu seemed to be tired of walking and sat in a remote place in the hall, next to Hanlin attendant Zhang Xin, one of the local exam reviewers.

"Mr. Liu, there are more than 400 people from the southern palace examination, accounting for more than 60%!" Zhang Xin laughed in a low voice, "The literary style of Jiangnan is so prosperous and is well-deserved!"

Liu Sanwu held the teacup and smiled, "What are the north and south? Are they all the seeds of the Ming Dynasty's study?"

Zhang Xin smiled and shut up.

It has been thirty years since the founding of the country and unified the world. Whether it is economic and livelihood, it is better than the north. But the fundamental reason is that these are caused by the chaos and war in the world at the end of the Mongols and Yuan dynasties.

There were wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, while the north was rich in powerful people. When the south was stable, the north was under the control of the Mongol Yuan, and not only fought against the Ming Dynasty, but also had to attack each other. In the late Mongolian Yuan, Emperor Shun of Yuan could not control his military leaders, especially after Chahan Timur's death, the generals under his command did not convince each other.

Wang Baobao, Li Siqi, Diao Gao and Guan Bao each fought for their own battles.

In addition, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were several northern expeditions. Although the military expenditure was in the south, the labor service and the people still came from the north, and the northerners were too burdened.

In recent years, the court has also realized this problem and has continuously restored the vitality of the north through immigration, exemption of taxes, and promoting cultural and educational measures.

But it is easy to destroy, but it is so difficult to prosper.

It will take thirty or fifty years to achieve results.

In fact, although the number and talent of the northern scholars are not as good as those of the southern ones, decades ago, or even more than a hundred years ago, great scholars from the north emerged one after another, which made the southern scholars unable to raise their heads. Moreover, when the Mongolian Yuan unified the world, most of the Han officials in the court were northerners, and their names and righteousness were all in the north.

At that time, especially the people under the Liao and Jin dynasties, whether they were Han people or descendants of the Jurchen Khitan, all belonged to Han people.

And southerners are southerners. If they participate in the imperial examination, their status must not only be ranked behind the Mongolian Semu people, but also behind the Han people.

Liu Sanwu looked at the examination room, took a sip of tea slowly, and then walked around the examination room again.
