Most scholars were very happy in this exam, and those who were well prepared would naturally do well. Even if they were not prepared enough, they would still be able to take the exam with two taels of silver to buy secret books. Yang Yun's secret books did win the Four Ming Jing questions, which made many scholars who bought his secret books feel that it is worth the money.

Yang Yun stood at the gate of the Confucian Temple, looking at every candidate who bought the test questions from him like a teacher. His smiling eyes clearly said, I didn't lie to you! Two taels of silver will be worth losing.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but want to slap him twice. It would be useless to beat all ten questions. Countermeasures are the key to eliminating candidates.

As for countermeasures, most candidates are proudly talking about how their family effectively preserves food, and there has never been any moldy food.

So when Qin Liang was excited to talk to Wang Gui about his thirteen methods of preventing mildew, Li Yanqing looked at him with a little sadness and even wrote about thirteen methods of preventing mildew. This is the life of being a warehouse keeper!

When taking the imperial examination, you are an official, not a warehouse keeper.

"Old Li, how did you answer the countermeasures questions?" Zhang Xian asked carefully.

Li Yanqing did not dare to smug Qin Liang's confidence and said vaguely: "I have written two anti-mold measures, ventilation and drying."

Wang Gui slapped the table, "Old Li, you're done. There are at least ten anti-mold measures in my granary. You've just written two of them. Forget it, I'll go to the martial arts exam with my brothers!"

Zhang Xian whispered: "Actually, I haven't written a single method."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Qin Liang was even more stunned and asked stutteredly: "Then what did you... write?"

"I...I mainly write about the patrol system. Why don't you find that grain mold is moldy early? It must be a poor management, so we need to establish a set of measures to prevent grain moldy."

Li Yanqing nodded, "I have also written a prevention system."

Qin Liang slapped his forehead suddenly and shouted, "I'm completely finished this time!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and Wang Guizhong patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Then you go and take the provincial examination! The provincial examination will definitely not be able to take the granary management exam."

Qin Liang was about to cry, "I'm really done this time. I can't explain it to my father when I go back."

Yue Fei said lightly: "In the end, only fifteen juren were admitted. I think most candidates should not be able to explain to their father!"

"Brother Liang, stop crying, I don't think you will fail the exam." Li Yanqing smiled.

Qin Liang wiped away his tears and asked, "Why?"

"Because today I heard everyone talk about it, nine out of ten people are talking about how to prevent mold from being rotten. It can be seen that most people have missed the question, and you have written thirteen methods to prevent mold and rotten. Are there any institutional methods for preventing mold and rotten? "

Qin Liang thought for a while, "It seems that there is, the eighth method, and I wrote about the importance of timely patroling the granary to prevent poor storage."

"That's right. You have also written about the system. Although it is not so clear, it is at least related to it. If you have all the titles of the Ming scriptures in the previous chapter, and the calligraphy is good, then I think your name should be among the 100 people."

Li Yanqing's words finally gave Qin Liang a hint of luck. He began to think that he might really have hope of being on the list.

At this time, Li Yanqing stood up and smiled and said, "You guys continue chatting! I'm going back to my room to review."

Wang Gui quickly grabbed him, "Old Li, after the exam today, I should relax. I will invite you to Qingfulou to drink deer blood to celebrate."

"Celebrating your head!"

Li Yanqing patted his hand open and said angrily: "This year we will take the additional examination of poetry and criminal law. The book "Song Xingtong" is thicker than two bricks stacked, so I didn't even read a word! There are cases and I have to write poetry, so where can I have time to drink?"

Wang Gui smiled and said, "What if you fail the exam today, wouldn't it be in vain to review the criminal law now?"

Li Yanqing was so angry that he grabbed his neck tightly, "When will you spit out ivory with your dog's mouth?"

......

After the exam, all the test papers were immediately sealed and sent to Anyang Gongyuan for a score on the same day. They required that the score be completed in three days, and then the admission list was sent back to Tangyin County overnight. The next day, the rankings were issued. The total number was about four days before the result was found.

Early that morning, just as Li Yanqing hid in the house and recited the "Song Xingtong" to the point of being dark, a burst of footsteps ran over.

I heard Wang Gui shouting excitedly in the yard: "Old Li, good news!"

"The proposal is: Zhou's relatives respect the elders and grandparents, Zeng Gao's parents are the same, uncles, parents, aunts, brothers and sisters, husband's parents, concubines are the daughters, and these must be carried out when they hear the funeral. If you hide and do not mourn, you will be a year later, and the funeral system has not ended. If you say that you have not been able to obey the good fortune, you will have a stick... How many sticks will be?"

Li Yanqing's memorization was smooth, but was interrupted by Wang Gui's throat. He forgot all the contents afterwards. He slapped the table in anger, "You're so happy! Can you not interfere with my memorization?"

"It's a good news, congratulations to Lao Li County for ranking first in the exam!"

Li Yanqing curled his lips and looked through the provision just now, and suddenly remembered, "By the way, there is a hundred sticks, below.... The great master, hides his mourning, and is ninety sticks; the auspicious person is released from obedience, and the sticks are eighty. "

Wang Gui blinked his eyes and leaned over to stare at Li Yanqing, "Don't you believe me?"

Li Yanqing knocked him, "If the list is released, Zhang Xianzi will come to me to see the list. It's not your turn to report the good news first."

Wang Gui scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to make you happy, but you didn't fall for it. It seems that boy and boy Liang have been waiting for the list early in the morning, so you don't take it seriously."

At this time, Yue Fei also walked in and said with a smile: "It's not that Lao Li doesn't take it seriously. It's really too much pressure. Look at Brother Xian, you're almost a bookworm. There are still fifty-five days left to get the state exam, so let's spare him first!"

"But I think other students are not under much pressure! They should eat and drink, and there are still a few who are discussing going to Yichunyuan to celebrate!"

Tang Huai walked in with a fan and said, "That's why they didn't want to get into the exam at all. They just wanted to go to the state to study, and they were just pretending to be faced."

Li Yanqing remembered an important matter and asked quickly: "I almost forgot how did you decide to study the state martial arts, or to directly participate in the martial arts examination?"

Yue Fei smiled bitterly, "The master has asked us for questions. Next year's martial arts exam will also have a favorable exam. I will take the martial arts exam one more time in late January next year. If I don't take the exam this time, I will have to wait for the next year. So we decided to take the martial arts exam directly at the beginning of next year and give up the November state martial arts exam."

Li Yanqing was a little regretful, so they could not go to Anyang together. He thought about it and asked again: "What is the content of the Wu Ju Jie Examination?"

"For example, we civilians refer to it, we need to take the exam for foot shooting, riding shooting, weight lifting and weapons. In addition, we need to take the exam for "The Art of War". As long as we memorize it well, we don't need to use it."

Li Yanqing calculated the time, but in fact they were very nervous. The three of them had not passed the clutch and had not passed the clutch, and they were still unfamiliar with the spear, and they had to recite Sun Tzu's Art of War.

"You have to hurry up and strive to pass the martial arts examination next year."

"Yes! I have already memorized "The Art of War" well. These two guys have not read it yet, so it is useless to worry about them." Yue Fei glanced at Wang Gui and Tang Huai.

"Who said I'm not in a hurry!"

Wang Gui jumped up like a cat with a trampled tail, "I'll go to the bookstore to buy a book called "The Art of War" and come back to read it."

Li Yanqing laughed, worthy of being Wang Gui, who was anxious to death when he was anxious, and the patient was dragged to death. At this moment, Zhang Xian's anxious shout suddenly came from the yard, "Old Li, hurry up, the ranking will be issued soon."

.........

The list was published at the gate of the Confucian Temple. At this time, the news that the admission list of the prefecture was already in the county government spread throughout the county. In addition to the county students, thousands of enthusiasts came to see the list. The square in front of the gate was crowded with people. Although this was just a qualification list for the selection, it was also an admission list for the selection, and its importance was extraordinary.

The list is the same as the official imperial examination list, and is divided into the A and B list, the A list is ten people and the B list is ninety people. The difference is that the official imperial examination list is published on yellow paper, while the qualification list is published on white paper, which is also called the white list, with black and white paper. Among them, the first name of the A list is written in red, which is called the Red Case or the Top.

The admission to the county exam this time is not just to be qualified to participate in the Examination Examination, but also has other huge benefits. If the ten people on the A list fail, they can directly go to the state school to study without the examination, and the ninety people on the B list directly go to the state school to study without the examination.

Other scholars who have not been admitted not only have to take the annual county examination according to the old rules, so that they can get the opportunity to take the state exam, and even if they pass the exam, they can only study in the outer room.

After all, this reform of the imperial examination and the imperial examination was essentially a kind of power adjustment between the central and local governments. The imperial court took away the power of the local states on the pretext of poor imperial examination results in the northern imperial examination. However, the prefectures were unwilling to have their power weakened, and they also took away the power of the imperial examination and recommended the county examination in the name of the county examination.

Typically, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

In order to increase the value of the imperial examinations, the prefecture capital also used the power of the prefecture education to link the county examination with the prefecture education, and gave the excellent resources of the prefecture education and the prefecture education to the prefecture education.

This correspondingly reduces the status of the county examinations in each county. Passing the county examinations is only a qualification to take the state examination, and its value is far less than that of the county examinations in the imperial examinations.

For this reason, scholars attach great importance to the admission of county examinations. There are only fifteen quotas for juren. Most scholars take the county examinations, but in fact they are exempt from the examinations for the state.
