The request of the scholars' group has been sent through the Secretariat. Hand over to Zhao Lingxin Qin Bo, who was standing by his side, did not believe his ears because the emperor sent a trembling order.
"Follow their request. I will open the civil service exam one more time," Zhao Lingxin said.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this," Qin Bo hurriedly protested. Because if the intellectuals come back to power, May will repeat the same mark in the past that the bureaucracy has decayed until we cannot restore it. Zhao Lingxin completely wiped out the nobles who had the roots of sage. This time, Zhao Lingxin had the idea of getting them back into the bureaucracy again. It was something that Qin Bo did not want to happen.
"Our Empire needs a capable person. We need a new generation to come in. This time, I will give them an opportunity." Zhao Lingxin had the idea to support some citizens to enter the civil service.
Almost a year ago, some diligent people could complete the introductory course while working. This persistence of many people wants to push themselves to a better life. Until Zhao Ling Xin was impressed, he believes now is the right time to launch his time's first civil service exam to welcome the new generation to work for the Empire.
The intellectuals' requests only advanced this time up because Zhao Ling Xin had plans to recruit people as civil servants. They were sent to be stationed in various departments.
Zhao Lingxin had never underestimated the talent of the people of this world. Soon they received a modern education. Will begin to replace the civil servants that Zhao Lingxin summoned from the system. The Empire was expanding in local administration, so it was necessary to recruit large numbers of people to work in this system.
Zhao Lingxin was never afraid of rebellion. The army was all his people, and the Empire had a rigorous monitoring system. Makes Zhao Lingxin want to relax the measure to reduce the limitations of his service. That today are people from the military system that he solely summoned.
Moreover, these things will promote the citizens of the country to be united.
"Of course, if they think this exam will be easy. The scholars must have been wrong." Zhao Lingxin ordered Qin Bo to take action.
The Secretariat has announced the government entrance examination ordinance. Just be a citizen of the Empire. Not discriminating against men and women Age 18 and over can take this test. The test will be held for the next 20 days.
The intellectuals cheered on the victory because Zhao Lingxin agreed to their request.
"We go to gather all the intellectuals of Qinghua now," Pan Zhou announced to the scholars. They are already prepared to take this test.
Intellectuals traveled to the capital. If they pass the exam, Zhao Lingxin will promote them to a civil servant, which is equivalent to an old nobleman. They have been waiting for this time for a long time. At first, they were desperate, not thinking that the emperor would bring this exam back. But His Highness finally thought of using intellectuals again.
They sent news of this civil service test across the country. It is making a big impact on many people Because this is the first time the person is taking the exam. It doesn't have to be from Qinghua's famous school. As long as being a citizen of the country can take this test.
So this news is not the only intellectuals who are excited. But among ordinary people was also prepared to join in the fun. If you are lucky enough to pass the exam, you will become a dragon soaring into the sky at once and have a chance of a better future waiting for you.
A lot of people marched into the capital. Until today they entirely occupied the hotel accommodation. On the road, you will see textbook worms that are strenuously reading books.
In bookstores full of people come to buy academic textbooks until the books are sold out. The printing house received orders to print thousands of books until the production was barely in time to meet the demand.
Finally, 20 days passed. The Secretariat hosted this test. Many schools in the capital have been used as test sites to reduce crowd congestion; tens of thousands of intellectuals participated in the test, including twenty thousand registered people.
This makes it the most extensive exam in history, with over thirty thousand people participating. The atmosphere around is vivacious. Also, such a large number of people will test the work performance of the staff as well.
Pan Zhou and Cong Qian have also participated in the test. Pan Zhou and Cong Qian were former nobles from the second prince. They certainly want to return to their original power. Even Pan Zhou dreamed that in the future, the minister's chair would be his own.
"I didn't see any excitement at all. This exam already knows the results," Pan Zhou said with confidence. He entered the exam field. Find his seat number and wait for the exam.
Which time flies, finally it's time he waited for The officer walked into the room, distributed equipment, and explained the rules and regulations.
"What is this exam like?" Pan Zhou looked at his answer sheet with four objective options. Unlike in the past, the exam would be a narrative essay.
Pan Zhou looked at the answer sheet in his hand, then listened to the staff to explain. He praised the people who came up with this exam pattern.
"This is besides easy to take the exam. The scoring process is also very fast and accurate. "
After that, it's time to do the exam. The first subjects are law and history. These are very easy. But all options required a high level of analysis, full of difficulties. But a person like Pan Zhou, this exam cannot do anything for him. Panzhou responded quickly and confidently.
The next subject was mathematics, which made Pan Zhou unable to move. The pen in his hand did not move to focus on questions for a long time.
"Damn, a question like this, who knows?" Pan Zhou cursed. The exam filled the math question with many symbolic formulas that he couldn't understand. Like the letters of the devil, The sweat swept over his body until it soaked Zhou's body with sweat. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Most intellectuals encountered the same as Pan Zhou. Law exams are not a problem. But when experiencing mathematical equations, They just had to put down their pen, and they couldn't write their answers.
The next subject is science. That brings together physics, chemistry, biochemistry, and astronomy. The intellectuals decided not to take further exams. Accept defeat.
Even Cong Qian had his face flushed with shame. Because he, like everyone else, is unable to write down the answer.
"I descended from my ancestor, Grandmaster, Master Kong. I can't give up like this." Cong Qian decided to use the legendary secret technique that had been passed down in the family. They rely on the spirit of their ancestors. It is this that has supported the Kong family for a long time—not falling over time.
"Ancestors of the Confederates, please guide my soul. Enter the state as well." Confesses mind and body as one. Heaven The five elements move without boundaries. The stars orbit, The sunlight hits as calm as the water. Based on their instincts, the answer comes out.
Cong Qian closed his eyes and quickly completed hundreds of answers. It was as if the Master Instructor was guiding him. It convinced him that the Heavenly Master would surely help him.
Pan Zhou felt unbearable as people patted his face until it turned red. He is the excellent former Venerable. How can he be defeated in such an exam? At that moment, Pan Zhou saw the person beside his body with a dexterous expression, looking reliable, which is Cong Qian himself.
Pan Zhou looked to the side. Carefully check that no one can catch it. Then plagiarize each other's answers on their own paper. This is Pan Zhou's secret technique that in the past helped him complete the civil service exam. At this time, a tight situation forced him to use this ultimate technique once more.
"Cong Qian was a descendant of the Cong family, even in such a difficult exam. It can also be as easy as peeling a banana, I Pan Zhou show him with great respect,"
Both Pan Zhou and Cong Qian were filled with confident expressions on this service test. They are convinced that they will unmistakably pass the test.
Zhao Lingxin, just bringing out the high school exam, was able to subdue this intellectual group. Tens thousands of intellectuals turned pale, and the exam was as tricky as demons. All of these topics have never been studied before.
If they know that these exams are very easy, If the Empire's high school students were to take an exam, they would pass it with ease.
Suppose these intellectuals know the truth, Probably embarrassed to the point of insertion. They are no longer dared to stay in front of people.
Tens thousands of intellectuals left the exam room with an emotional expression. There is no hope in living.
"Damn, damn, I am foolish." Unable to accept the truth
"No, I am totally incompetent," some even wept like a river.
After the examinations, many of them dispersed in grief. They are just looking forward to the announcement of the results in the next seven days.
