The concept of time is a very magical thing. For children, every day seems extremely long. From the time they get up in the morning, they have done so many things. Why is it only noon? Why do so many days and nights pass?
, you haven’t grown up yet?
But for adults, every day passes very quickly. It seems that the day has passed in just a blink of an eye. If you think carefully about the experience of the day, you will eventually find that it seems that you did nothing at all during the day.
matter……
Some people say that children feel that time passes slowly because they need a lot of things to fill their memories. Because there are not many things in children’s heads, and they have to remember too much every day, they feel that time passes slowly. But in the minds of adults,
If you have installed too many things, you will subconsciously ignore some insignificant things, so time passes very quickly.
I'm afraid no one can explain exactly why this situation occurs.
In short, time is like sand in your hands. The more you hold on to it, the faster it slips away. It slips away from your fingers inadvertently...
After painting Wu Qingmei that day, Yunjing's life became dull again. He read and studied and prepared for exams every day, and his life was uneventful.
As the day of the imperial examination approached, countless candidates who wanted to take the imperial examination came from all directions in Qingjiang City. The atmosphere in the general environment was tense. After all, this imperial examination related to the future and destiny of countless people.
But Yunjing was not affected by the general environment. He still did what he should do every day and his mentality was very stable.
This kind of mentality of not burning incense and cramming for the day does not exist here in Yunjing. He has always had a rigorous and serious attitude towards learning. With enough accumulation and foundation, he has confidence in his heart. Even if he faces this time, his future is at stake.
Only then can we face the test of fate calmly.
Well, in fact, fame is dispensable to Yunjing. He does not rely on fame to change his future and destiny. To him, this thing is just for the happiness of his family.
After returning that day, except for occasionally going to Bai Zhi's place and going to the capital to exchange books, Yunjing was usually busy studying and seldom went out, so he was considered a semi-homebody.
There is a saying that the vast majority of scholars in this era are otakus, even to the extent that they cannot take care of themselves. Who knows that almost all scholars in this era are well-off and do not need to worry about daily trivial matters at all, as long as they study with peace of mind.
That’s it.
In addition to studying, Yunjing learned most of the news about various aspects through casual chats with Song Yan.
As a scholar, Song Yan knew that his young master was devoted to studying, so he consciously acted as the eyes and ears.
Through him, Yunjing learned that the dozens of heroes from the Northern Three Kingdoms who had gone south were no longer causing trouble. Some had returned home, such as 'Wu Changkong', and some had stayed in Dali. Don't get me wrong.
They did not give up their nationality and join Dali, but stayed in Dali to study and expand their knowledge. They read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. They came here, so they must take advantage of this opportunity.
Then the anomaly that Wu Qingmei told Yunjing about the Burial Jianshan Mountain gradually began to spread widely. Many people in the world were aroused and wanted to hunt for treasures at the Burial Jianshan site. Yunjing knew a little about this matter.
No longer paying attention, he had to face the imperial examination.
There is nothing else worth paying attention to, they are all trivial matters. The only thing worth mentioning is that the title deed of the house in Wu Qingmei’s courtyard in Beijing was sent to Yunjing as a refinancing fee. In other words, Yunjing also
There are people with luxurious houses in Dali Capital.
Obviously Wu Qingmei is very concerned about this matter. Knowing that Yunjing probably won't go there often, he specially arranged a housekeeper and some maids and servants to take care of him. Then, of course, those housekeepers and servants are
Transferred to Yunjing's name.
Yunjing couldn't laugh or cry about this. For such a big house, and ten or twenty servants, all the daily expenses fell on him. You must know that the cost of maintaining such a house in the capital is astonishing, and Yunjing is in
There is not much industry in the capital.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem. It's amazing that he just paints pictures and sells them. Moreover, Yunjing itself is not short of money. If he is admitted to the Juren Examination, he can still receive money and food from the government every month. Although it is not much, the money received from the government alone
The money and food provided are more generous than those of many ordinary families.
Yunjing also teased Song Yan about this matter, saying that we also have an industry in the capital. You, a book boy, will be a housekeeper in the future, and now you have to learn to understand and manage it.
Regarding this issue, Song Yan was excited and confused at the same time. After all, he was only a boy of the same age as Yun Jing. He suddenly shouldered such a heavy responsibility. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but he seriously promised that he would learn to do it.
Okay, I won’t disappoint the young master.
There is still no news about Little Yezi. Yunjing asked Song Yan to inquire specifically. There is no trace of Little Yezi at the ruins of Burial Sword Mountain, and he doesn’t know what she is doing. There is nothing going on at home, and everything is peaceful, except for her younger brothers and sisters who are occasionally naughty.
, Master's career is on the right track, especially with the recent letter from Li Qiu, which vaguely told Yunjing that he will be transferred to the capital in a year or two at most. Tsk, there are people above, so this career can't take off?
After some time, news came out that the Jin family had finally married the eldest prince. The Jin family had completely moved towards Dali. The industries of other countries were transferring to Dali, and the eldest prince, with the support of the Jin family's wealth,
, overtly and covertly wooed officials, and even created all kinds of momentum. The brothels and teahouses were singing the praises of the eldest prince's benevolence. This was in preparation for the fight for the dragon. The other princes also took action, and did not let the eldest prince focus on beauty.
However, without huge financial support, the other princes combined are not as powerful as the eldest prince...
In midsummer, the heat is unbearable. Occasionally, news comes out that someone in a certain place was heated to death. Most of the people who died were poor people who had to do heavy physical work under the scorching sun. Maybe they died of heatstroke in one stroke. Life is so difficult.
.
Fortunately, Yunjing has long been protected from the cold and heat, and no matter how hot the weather is, it has no impact on him.
In the small rented courtyard, Yunjing read and studied quietly under the trees. The courtyard was extremely cool, and the hot wind would become cooler when it came close to the courtyard. Because many places in the courtyard were covered with frost.
Getting some ice couldn't be easier for Yun Jing, and even freezing the entire yard is no problem. Although he is not afraid of the cold and heat, why not make himself more comfortable?
Song Yan came back from outside and opened the door gently for fear of disturbing Yun Jing. It was extremely hot outside and he was sweating. After entering the yard, the cool breath was not too refreshing.
Seeing Yun Jing put down his books, Song Yan hurriedly walked over and said, "Young Master, I have some clues about what you asked me to pay attention to."
"How?" Yun Jing nodded and asked.
Song Yan said: "Master, the court has announced that July 15th will be an auspicious day ten days later. The exam will start from that day for three consecutive days. Registration and registration will begin today. The registration time is only three days. Those who have not registered after three days can only
Wait for next time”
You must register in advance for the imperial examination. This is related to the issue of arranging the examination room according to each person. It takes time and cannot be taken just by going. In the past, the children's examination and the scholar examination were all handled by the school teachers, but now Yunjing has to do it himself.
Do it yourself.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing said: "In this case, Xiao Song, you prepare the corresponding items and we will register them later. I hope we can complete this matter today."
He nodded and agreed, but Song Yan still hesitated and said: "Master, you have three days to register. How about going in the next few days? Today is the first day, there must be a lot of people signing up."
"That's why I have to go today, and I have to go as soon as possible. You know that you should wait for the next two days when there are fewer people. Others probably think the same way. They will still be crowded by then. Don't waste time because of this. If you don't sign up, you will lose more than you gain.
"Yes," Yun Jing said with a smile.
When Song Yan thought about it, it really made sense, and secretly thought that the young master is the young master. He had never thought of this, so he immediately went to prepare, fearing that he would be late and not be able to get in line.
Yun Jing also stopped reading, went back to the house, changed into scholar clothes, tidied up his appearance, and when Song Yan was done, he got ready, and the master and servant went to the registration place.
The imperial examination system of the Dali Dynasty is still different from the previous history in Yunjing's memory. In Dali, the meritorious service for a child student is usually under the age of twenty. Although there is no hard and fast rule, if you have not yet passed the imperial examination after reaching the age of twenty, you may not be able to pass the imperial examination.
I was embarrassed to take the exam, and I was surrounded by a bunch of half-grown children. How embarrassing would that be? It also showed in disguise that I was not good at studying.
However, the title of scholar is clearly stipulated. Thirty years old is a hurdle. After the age of thirty, you are not eligible to take the exam. Moreover, if you do not have the title of scholar at the age of 30, the national welfare of the title of childbirth will also be banned. However,
The fame is still there and will not be written off.
As for the scholar examination, there is no age limit at this time. As long as you are alive, you can continue to take the examination. Therefore, many people with gray beards and white hair are taking the examination, striving to go further.
Yun Jing probably knows the reason why there is an age requirement to be admitted to the scholar examination. It is because the dynasty considers the employment system. If you are not admitted to the scholar examination at the age of thirty, there will be almost no plasticity in the future. Why not change your career as soon as possible to contribute to the country? So?
The country will no longer support such mediocre people.

Therefore, being a scholar is a hurdle. Once you get over it, you will still have a chance to succeed in the future. But if you can't get over it, once you turn thirty, the road to the imperial examination will come to an end.
Then, for the meritocracy, the number of admissions in each state is different. It will be determined based on the area of the territory, the manpower of each department, and even the total population. In short, no matter what, the number of admissions will be very small. With thousands of troops,
It's no exaggeration to say that thousands of horses cross the single-plank bridge.
Take this imperial examination as an example. There is a high probability that the total number of candidates admitted in Jiangzhou will not exceed fifty!
Fifty people may sound like a lot, but the actual situation is that God knows how many people participated in the imperial examination. After all, anyone with a scholar's reputation can take the examination. Adding up the three generations of old, middle and young people, the number of scholars accumulated is still amazing.
Of course, there are also special circumstances that will increase the number of admissions, such as a special enke after the new emperor registers. At that time, the new emperor has to expand his team. After all, such opportunities are rare and slim. Ordinary people should not count on it.
.
The number of candidates admitted varies from continent to continent, but the test papers are unified across the country. As for how the test papers are printed and shipped, don't ask. Anyone who asks will die!
Why are you asking about this? Why do you still want to cheat? If not, who will you kill?
There have been several leaking incidents in history, and every time they happened, it was a major event that shocked the whole country. It can be said that people were killed from top to bottom. It is child's play for the country to open a subject to recruit scholars. There is no humaneness at all.
This time, the registration location for the Jiangzhou Juren Examination is located in a school. The school has set aside space during the holidays. A large area around it is heavily guarded. After all, there are many talents who come to register, and the space is too small to handle.
Come on, every scholar who comes here is a treasure. Who knows which one of them will rise to greatness and become a big shot in the future? If something unexpected happens at this time, that's fine. Heavy security is necessary to maintain continuity.
In fact, in addition to the registration location, all violent institutions in Qingjiang City are in operation to ensure the smooth progress of this imperial examination. If something goes wrong, it is no joke. It will not be easy from top to bottom, so
Recently, the exclusion of people entering and exiting Qingjiang City has been particularly strict, especially those Jianghu people, who are the focus of warnings. Of course, during this critical period, Jianghu people have restrained themselves, and many even consciously stay away from the state capital, so as not to be arrested by the government if something goes wrong.
It would be fun to catch the top tank.
Master Yunjing and his servant arrived outside the registration place, where there were already several long queues. Each queue had at least one or two hundred people, and more people would come in a steady stream.
After looking at it for a while, Yun Jing secretly thought that the number of people participating in the imperial examination this time must be tens of thousands, but the number of admissions was only a few dozen, and the rest were all accompanying the examination. Thinking about it makes people feel sad.
For scholars, the imperial examination is no less than a fish leaping over a dragon gate to cross the river. Although there is still a chance if the crossing is not successful, the time will be wasted.
"Young Master really has a clever plan. Not many people signed up on the first day today. If there is a long queue in the next two days, I think I can complete the registration matter for Young Master today." Song Yan looked at the team in front of him and blatantly slapped the clouds.
Flattery.
There were soldiers all around who were watching eagerly, but Song Yan stood upright with his chest raised and his head straight. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to come here at this time, but he came with Yun Jing.
Under the gaze of everyone, I just feel that my face is bright and proud. Look around me. People who are not qualified to come here to watch the excitement have to be careful when looking around.
"We're still a little late, but it's not a big problem," Yun Jing said with a smile.
Song Yan hurriedly said: "Master, I'll help you line up. When it's your turn, I'll call you. Master, please find a place to rest. This damn weather is so uncomfortable under the sun."
At times like this, the benefits of bringing a servant are revealed. You don’t have to stand in the sun in person while queuing. The only thing that makes people speechless is that whenever the front of the queue shouts "Master", there are many scholars wearing scholar uniforms.
Look over there to see if it's calling you...
"Okay, you go and line up," Yunjing nodded and smiled, not rejecting Song Yan's positive performance.
This is just for registration, there is no real seriousness when the exam starts, and it does not restrict people's freedom, as long as they don't cause trouble.
Song Yan went to line up, and Yun Jing had a good time, walking around and looking around.
After graduating from Niujiao Town School, Yunjing rarely set foot in places like the school. Although the current school is not the place where Yunjing studied, being in such an environment feels more intimate, and at the same time, he also has some nostalgia in his heart.
Time goes by and never comes back. Thinking back to the beginning, playing in school seems like yesterday.
I can't go back after all...
It is obvious that the government attaches more importance to this imperial examination than ordinary people imagine. Take this registration place as an example. In addition to soldiers and fast yamen officers, there are more than ten innate masters scattered everywhere, and there are even one or two true artistic conceptions.
The breath exists!
Anyone who dares to come here to cause trouble at this time will surely end up in a miserable state!
Even if they are just signing up now, before the exam, these students who want to participate in the imperial examination have already begun to show their various emotions. Some are nervous and uneasy, some are in a trance, and some are calm and confident, truly calm.
There are very few that are right.
Yunjing couldn't help but murmur to this, it's like this before the exam, and he has to be so nervous when the exam actually starts.
Well, Yunjing also understands that fame in this world is not just a diploma, it is about destiny and future, and about a person's level, so the pressure brought by the imperial examination can be imagined.
Being in a foreign country, with no friends around, and no one to even chat with, after walking around for a while, Yunjing simply found a shady place to wait boredly while he registered.
After registering, arrange the examination room, familiarize yourself with the examination room before the examination, and then the actual examination. Although I have never experienced the examination, the process should be similar to Yunjing's previous two examinations.
'In order to save Li Lang from his home, he won the top spot on the imperial list...'
Yunjing, who was waiting boredly, had this tune from his previous life flashing through his mind for no apparent reason, and then he secretly thought to himself, would there be some kind of woman disguised as a man sneaking into the imperial examination this time?
Yun Jing laughed when he thought of this. How could a woman sneak in? Before entering the examination room, you have to take off your clothes to verify your identity. Even in order to prevent cheating, the ancient roads have to check clearly. Even Wu Qingmei, who is as smart as Yi
It's impossible for any Rongshu technique to grow a man's thing out of thin air, and it's impossible for an ordinary woman to sneak in!
When it comes to verifying one's identity before entering the examination room, a scholar would be so confused that even Yun Jing would rub his teeth and chrysanthemums for you. What the hell is that?
However, there is no way. This is a necessary process that every scholar must go through. It is just like Yunjing's physical examination as a soldier in his previous life. It cannot be avoided.
Some scholars pass the exam just fine, and they only go through it once and get over it with patience. Those who have suffered repeated defeats are called pain in the ass. They have to go through it every time, and they probably want to die.
Yunjing heard that the people who check the candidates before the exam are all masked. This is to prevent the candidates from retaliating when they become rich in the future. After all, it is very offensive to have someone check the whole body. Who would want to be stabbed except Mr. Rabbit?
Behind.
a plant.
Thinking that he would also have to go through it, Yunjing couldn't help but scold her, and even didn't want to take the exam.
The problem with him is that he can't evade inspection, and bribery is even more impossible. If he acts like that, he might be arrested and prosecuted. After all, he is suspected of cheating.
What's wrong with this? I don't want to be stabbed in the back. What the hell is this?
Just when Yunjing was extremely entangled in thinking about these things, time passed unknowingly, and he suddenly heard Song Yan's familiar voice calling, and then he realized that it was his turn.
I hurried over and saw that the person in charge of registration was a kind old man. Even though he had met many candidates who came to register, the old man couldn't help but look at Yun Jing a few more times and praised his good skin.
Although Yunjing left a good impression on the other party, the other party did not have time to write ink and acted in a business-like manner.
"Study registration, household registration, certificate issued by the place of household registration, and three or more guarantors, please register them for me," the old gentleman looked at Yun Jing and ordered.
These things had been prepared for a long time, and Song Yan hurriedly presented them.
Student registration and household registration are necessary things, so there is no need to say more. As for the certificate issued by the place of household registration, there is a statement. This certificate is issued by the local government, proving that there is indeed such a person to take the scientific examination. In the local government
If there is a record, you can check and verify it at any time, otherwise you will not even be eligible to register.
As for the joint guarantee of three or more people, this is also a necessary thing. Yunjing has already prepared it. Before coming, he went to Niujiao Town School to find the original teacher to apply for it. This thing is a very crucial thing. It can prove that Yunjing
But there are others, and there is another one. If there is fraud in Yunjing during the imperial examination, the guarantor will be jointly and severally liable. If not, the merit will be canceled or even imprisoned!
So usually if the relationship is not in place, people will not give you a guarantee at all. After all, no one is willing to take the risk. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
Fortunately, Yunjing had excelled in academics since he was a child, and he did not neglect the gentlemen of that year even during the holidays. So when he went to the school to apply for a guarantee, the school gentlemen were vying to be the guarantee, and they almost got into a fight.
This kind of thing is beneficial to both parties. They guarantee Yunjing, and Yunjing will have to cherish this friendship no matter what if he becomes successful in the future.
The word "circle" of scholars is very particular.
The old man in charge of registration checked Yunjing's various credentials. When he opened Yunjing's academic records, especially when he saw the column about Master Li Qiu, he couldn't help but look up at Yunjing again, and then continued to watch silently.
After seeing the long list of resumes, the old gentleman couldn't help but be moved. He looked up and said a good word to Yun Jing.
Why was the old gentleman moved? Ge Yin Yunjing had experience in the military, and he also participated in the crucial battle last year. His performance in the military was dazzling, and every military achievement was real and could not be faked.
There are so many people registered, but the old gentleman has never seen such an outstanding resume. He really deserves to be a famous teacher who gives birth to a great disciple.
At such a young age, he is actually capable of killing most of the enemy's innate generals. How many young people can do this? Many scholars are good if they don't wet their pants on the battlefield. Although Yunjing is young, the old gentleman has no doubt that his resume is fake.
, who dares to pay for it? This thing has been registered, a fake one cannot withstand investigation!
Because there were still many people queuing up behind, the old gentleman immediately went through the registration process without saying too much to Yunjing after confirming that everything was correct.
After registering, there are two documents that require Yunjing's signature and signature. One is for Yunjing. It must be shown when entering the examination room. It must be kept well. If it is lost, you will not be eligible for the imperial examination.
The signatures and signatures of these two documents are very particular. They should be written on the overlapping place of the two documents, and the fingerprints should be pressed there. They should be made in duplicate, with each document accounting for half. If they are not the same when entering the examination room, there will be consequences.
Metaphor.
In addition, in order to prevent someone from pretending to take the exam, the fingerprints and palm prints were left separately. They will be checked at that time. If the texture does not match, it will be replaced and the exam will be replaced!
From these anti-fraud procedures, we can see how strict the dynasty's attitude towards the imperial examinations was, which is why those who participated in the imperial examinations were required to register in person, even without the help of servants.
