Jiang Zhixian personally served as the examiner of the tenth target, which was very necessary to prevent the people below from doing their jobs ineffectively and breaking his arrangements.

Jiang Zhixian was very detailed, so he did not allow incidents such as taking the exam on his behalf. He would never catch him. He would have his own way.

For example, Qiu Huaian, the little owner of Qiu Ji Yinshou in Tangyin County, is tall and big, but his belly is full of grass. He failed the most basic knowledge. He was tired of running and barely passed the weightlifting. Now he only has the opportunity to shoot archery.

But if he was not allowed to go to the county school, how could he be worthy of the 500 taels of silver given to his father?

A confidant soldier ran over and whispered: "Qiu Huaian scored ten arrows in zero."

Jiang Zhixian nodded, "I understand. The next one is Li Yanqing, Wang Gui is preparing."

He picked up the pen and wrote next to Qiu Huaian, "Five of Ten Arrows!"

This student Qiu passed the martial arts examination and will enter the county school as a martial arts student.

"The next Li Yanqing comes, Wang Gui prepares!"

Li Yanqing took off his outer robe, moved his arms, and lifted the bow from the bow frame. It was a standard five-dou step bow, which was slightly lighter to him. He usually used eight-dou bows.

Li Yanqing lowered the bow and took the Eight Dolphin Bow from the side. Zhixian County's eyes lit up. This was the first time in three years that he had seen a candidate picking the Eight Dolphin Bow.

Although Jiang Zhixian was very greedy for money, he was also very jealous of talent. He would look at rich candidates differently, and candidates with real talents will also favor them. Of course, real talents and real knowledge refers to martial arts, not knowledge.

A soldier brought the arrow up, but Li Yanqing waved his hand without using it. He carried a pot of ten arrows behind him, stood behind the archery line, waiting for the shooting instructions.

Jiang Zhixian nodded, and the soldier immediately waved his flag. Li Yanqing drew an arrow and pulled the bow. The bow was like a full moon. An arrow shot out quickly, "Bang!" The arrow hit the bull's eye.

Cheers were suddenly cheering around, but Li Yanqing kept firing out ten arrows like beads, one arrow was as fast as an arrow, and one breath shot ten arrows like flowing water, and the arrow shot into the bull's eye.

There was no sound around, and everyone was stunned. Even Jiang Zhixian opened his mouth wide. No one had seen this kind of shooting method. After a while, there was a thunderous sound around him, and all the candidates applauded enthusiastically.

Jiang Zhixian's eyes were smiling and narrowed into a slit. There was no problem with Li Yanqing going to Bianjing to participate in the martial arts competition. He happily wrote down ten shots and scored ten shots.

Now he can beat the idiots in the state capital. Who said that the county’s martial arts exam cannot select talents? Isn’t that?

Li Yanqing bowed to everyone with his fists and retreated. Wang Gui also came forward with great energy and said to the soldiers: "I want eight-dou bows too!"

The soldiers who are fighting in the camp have been in full swing. Since Li Yanqing and the others left, Yao Ding has started to prepare for the new "Baihu Hall". Baihu Hall is the name of students. Its scientific name is "County School Preparation Room". At this time next year, a new group of students should leave Lushan School and go to the county school for the exam.

Yao Ding is already old and has his legs. He doesn't care about the elementary and middle school rooms anymore. The county school recruited another master, named Ge, who is also a juren, and is preparing to take over the university room. Yao Ding is only responsible for preparing for the last year's exam.

In the study, Yao Ding was listening to Li Daguang's suggestions. Li Daguang's suggestions have been put forward for several days. He suggested opening a small path from the back of the school and leading directly to the temple. Students can take the small path to the temple every day to run and shoot arrows, and no longer have to walk the official road in front. This suggestion itself is good, but several major gentry disagree. Behind the school is Lushan, and opening the back door will affect Feng Shui. Under Li Daguang's repeated persuasion, several gentry finally proposed it unless Master Yao agreed.

Yao Ding didn't care much about Feng Shui, he was more concerned about the cost issue. He smiled and asked, "Building roads can cost money. Did Master Li do any calculations?"

Li Daguang hurriedly said, "I have calculated carefully. I have hired a major labour for 200 meter a day. We can hire ten major labours for a day, and it can be repaired in half a month. With some sand and gravel materials, the total amount is up to fifty labours. In this way, the open space in front of the temple becomes the schoolyard of our school. The school is too crowded now, and the students have no place to run and shoot arrows, and it is not safe outside."

Yao Ding nodded, "I understand, so I will ask each of the four major gentry to pay ten cents of money, and I will apply for ten cents of money from the county."

Li Daguang said a little embarrassedly: "If you ask the gentry to pay, Master Yao will have to come forward."

"Okay! I'll write a letter to each of them, so I'll ask Master Li to run away more."

"No problem, Master Yao wrote the letter and I'll send it right away."

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums was faintly heard in the distance. The sound was getting closer and closer. Both of them were stunned. It seemed to be walking towards the school. Li Daguang jumped up and ran out. At this time, the students also came out of the school one after another and stood in the small playground. After a while, a group of men walked into the school with two yamen riding horses.

They turned over and dismounted and shouted loudly: "Good news from the county school!"

Every year, the top three county school exams have good news to the towns and towns, but Lushan Town has not heard of it for many years, and this year it has appeared. Many villagers in the town also flocked to the school to see what happened.

A yamen runner shouted loudly: "The good news from the county school, Li Yanqing, a student from Lushan Academy, topped the high school in the county school double examination, Yue Fei ranked second in high school, Wang Gui ranked ninth in high school, Tang Huaizhong ranked tenth in high school, Lushan Academy is good at studying, the county government rewards 100 yuan and five donkeys as an encouragement!"

The students were stunned for a moment and immediately cheered together. Li Daguang also jumped up excitedly. He was not happy for his cousin's first place, but because he finally had a donkey and no longer had to run away with his legs.

Yao Ding stood at the door and grinned like a child. He knew that those children would not disappoint him. Yanqing really got the first place in the exam.

The sound of firecrackers crackled in Lushan Town. Everyone took out all the remaining firecrackers during the New Year and Spring Festival to celebrate Lushan School's victory again.

Wang Gui's grandfather Wang Wanhao happened to be in the town. When he heard that his grandson actually won the ninth place in the county exam, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He immediately knelt down and bowed to the direction of the ancestral grave. His grandson once again added luster to the family.

The news soon spread throughout Xiaohe Township. Like the boy meeting five years ago, Xiaohe Township once again became excited.

...........

In Tangji Inn, Tangyin County, seventeen students from Lushan Academy gathered together to celebrate this year's Lushan Academy County exam. A total of twenty-four people came to Lushan Academy. As a result, fifteen people were admitted to the county school. In addition, Li Er and another student were going to study at Anyang Academy. There were only seven students who failed, which set the best record for Lushan Academy.

Especially four of the top ten are Lushan Academy, which is even more exciting.

Today, Tang Zhengzong, on behalf of the Tang family, held a banquet at the inn to invite students to drink and celebrate the victory. Except for the seven failed students who had left first, all seventeen other people attended the banquet.

Tang Zhengzong raised his wine glass and smiled: "The top three people in Tangbei Township every year are all taken over by Tangbei Township, but this year our Xiaohe Township broke the convention. Although there are factors such as martial arts, no one can deny that we are the real leader."

This year, Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian from Tangbeixiang tied for the first place in the literary exam, but Li Yanqing was far ahead in the martial arts exam, and both subjects were ranked first. This is what Tang Zhengzong said.

Although Yue Fei ranked fifth in the literary exam, he ranked second in the martial arts exam, and he squeezed into second place in the overall ranking of the double subjects.

Wang Gui and Tang Huai also performed extremely well in the martial arts exam, especially Wang Gui got nine out of ten arrows in the archery exam, and Tang Huai got eight out of ten arrows, and Yue Fei got eight out of ten arrows. Yue Fei was a normal performance, but Wang Gui and Tang Huai performed well, and they were happy that they praised the effectiveness of deer blood.

It should be said that this is Yao Ding's credit. With his five years of careful training, naughty boys like Wang Gui and Tang Huai finally entered the top 30 in the literary exam, and 24 students passed the exam fifteen, which was completely at the same time as Tangbeixiang School. Yao Ding's five years of hard work finally flourished at this moment.

Tang Zhengzong was excited. The Tang family finally had a child who entered the county school without relying on money and ranked tenth in high school. He raised his glass and whispered: "Celebrating our victory, everyone has done this glass of wine!"
