"I'm fine!" Li Jia waved her hand, and he was in a good mood and ignored these things.

"What day is today?"

"Report to Your Majesty, today is the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, Zhou Zhaorong's birthday!" Tian Fu said while supporting the emperor.

"It's fourteen!" Li Jia murmured, then said, "Who else is left?"

"Only Huang Tianyou, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the end of the scholar's examination, and I am ready to arrange for the Juren to take the exam!"

"Oh, let him come in!" Li Jia nodded. Before he knew it, the scholarship exam in August ended, and in early October it was the Juren exam again. After the Juren exam, the autumn harvest was coming, and life was so fast.

Let’s meet you as soon as possible, and we will celebrate Zhou Ying'er’s birthday later!

Thinking of his delicate face and watery big eyes, Li Jia's heart instantly became hot.

"I am Huang Tianyou, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, please see Your Majesty!"

Huang Tianyou was in his forties, tall and thin, with a goatee, and a wide official robe was worn on him, causing a lot of mountain wind. When he entered the room, he immediately returned to his original state.

Like most senior officials in the court, he is also from Lingnan, and is stereotyped and naturally suitable for the Ministry of Rites.

Due to his deep qualifications, he did not belong to Zhao Chengyi. He was alone, but others respected him very much.

Although Li Jia personally took charge of the scholarship and juren exams, the specific implementation still depends on the Ministry of Rites.

Due to the imperial examinations and fame examinations, the Ministry of Rites has been continuously elevated, almost parallel to the Ministry of Personnel.

"What's the matter with Huang Qing's family?" Li Jia said with a look of expression, looked at his serious face and asked.

"Your Majesty, the scholarship examination has been completed. There are 686 scholars all over the country, including the overseas Protectorate!"

Huang Tianyou said softly.

"More than 600 people? Why so many?" Li Jia was quite surprised. There were only more than 100 people two years ago, but today it has suddenly increased several times.

"Your Majesty, last year, Shu, Jiangnan and Minnan were all included in the territory. In the two prefectures in Shu, there were 230 counties, 19 prefectures in Jiangnan, 119 counties, 30 counties in Fujian, and 45 counties in Hunan, 154 counties in Lingnan, and 20 counties in Jingnan, a total of 599 counties, Chameng, Jiaozhou, Jinshan, Jeju and other places, and some places were also allocated!"

"The six hundred and eighty-six scholars are really not high!" Huang Tianyou said in a deep voice.

"How many states are there?" The country has expanded too much, and Li Jia hasn't adapted at once. If he remembered correctly, the Song State had only had 600 counties and more than 110 states. If he accidentally found out, the territory he ruled was almost the same as that of Zhao Song. It was really surprising.

"The six prefectures in southern Fujian, the three prefectures in Lingnan have a total of 30 prefectures, the two prefectures in Hunan have a total of 10 prefectures in Jingnan, the two prefectures in Jiangnan have a total of 18 prefectures in Shu have a total of 45 prefectures. If the autumn examination is over, there will be a total of 114 juren!"

Huang Tianyou was helpless. He was a minister of the Ministry of Rites and actually popularized the knowledge of the Ministry of Revenue with the emperor. But who asked the emperor to stipulate that scholars were selected by counties and juren were selected by states. In this way, he could only memorize geography.

The scholar tests in August, so it is called the summer test, and the Juren test is in October, also known as the autumn test.

"Six to one?" Li Jia thought, it was really difficult for scholars to become juren. The number of scholars is too small. If the regional level is different, it is very likely that many counties do not have a scholar at all.

However, in this way, scholars seem to have high value, both pros and cons.

The population of the two prefectures in Hunan is 700,000, the population of Jingnan is 1.2 million, and the three prefectures in Lingnan is 1.5 million. In southern Fujian, the two prefectures in Zhang and Quanzhou alone are nearly 800,000. The total number of joins the four prefectures in Fu, Jian, Jian and Ting is about 1.2 million. There is no count in the two prefectures in Shu, but except for the population in Hanzhong, there are still 500,000 households with household registration, and there are still 3 million.

The biggest mystery is that the two prefectures of Jiangning and Jiangxi have not yet been counted in detail, at least four million will be worth four million. If Huainan is not lost, it will be worth five million.

Even if it is roughly calculated, his population will be 12 million.

On average, 200,000 people produce a scholar, and this proportion is not high at all.

As for Jinshi, Li Jia will only be planning to admit 60 people next year, which is almost 2 to 1, and the admission rate is extremely high.

"This year, the registration of the second prefectures in Hunan should be able to complete it. Next year, it should be the second prefectures in Jiangnan. I hope there is an accurate number!"

After sighing, Li Jia asked, "But the list of examiners in each prefecture is ready?"

"At this time, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to make arbitrary decisions, so he could only ask His Majesty and the Political Affairs Hall to make a decision!"

Huang Tianyou waited for the emperor to finish his nightmare, then handed over the list and said, "This is the list of officials from the Hanlin Academy and various departments of Jinshi. Please give your Majesty the Holy Tribunal!"

"I understand!" Li Jia nodded and submitted the list directly to him. Obviously, the Political Affairs Hall did not reach an agreement and began to hurt each other again. He could only take his own discretion. It was not easy to be an emperor!

He showed a smile on his face and said, "It's hard for your Ministry of Rites. This summer's test was launched quickly and completely, and there was no mistake. I won't reward you now. After the autumn test, I will reward you together!"

"Thank you for your kindness, I will leave!" Huang Tianyou was not sad or happy, and breathed a sigh of relief. He just gave him a list, why is it so difficult!

After taking a look at the dense list, Li Jia didn't know how these people were, how could they remember them? He simply had a trick.

The first step is to cross out those under forty-five, and the examiner will inevitably recruit students. The younger ones will accumulate for a long time and will naturally be huge. Those who are older will be reliable. They will have to come down in more than ten years and have little power.

The second step is to directly cross out those who are not from Hanlin's background, because they are from Hanlin's background, they have a high prestige in the field of science and are naturally more knowledgeable.

In this way, Li Jiading looked at it and found that most of them were old officials from Shu Kingdom and Southern Tang Dynasty, and even old Hanlin who had been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, must have offended people.

The Hanlin Academy of the Tang Dynasty accommodated the Hanlin of the Shu Kingdom, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Han Kingdom. In addition, the new Hanlin in the past two years, the number of people exceeded 100.

"Okay, it seems that the Hanlin in the first year of Shenwu had been relegated long ago. The Hanlin in these countries entered last year and is still not moving. Let them find something to do!"

Li Jia shook her head, and removed a few too old people and gathered eleven examiners.

"Send the list to the Zhengshi Hall. As for which mansion they go to, let them arrange it!"

"Here--" Tian Fu didn't dare to look at it, so he lowered his head and replied with a smile: "Zhou Zhaorong has been preparing for a long time, and he has also made the braised fish you like to eat!"
Chapter completed!
