A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 381 Three people taking the exam
The third year of Hongguang, the first year of Dahua, April.

The square of a building in Nanjing was crowded with people. Their movements were uniform. They all looked down at the books in their hands and recited something.

Those are all students preparing to take the exam. Now, it is a new round of official assessment for Dahua.

Due to the recent expansion of Dahua, the shortage of officials has been huge. The measure now taken by the court is to transfer officials with experience and political achievements to the newly added areas to carry out reforms, and these students with less experience are He then served as an official in an area that was already basically stable.

Lu Xiangsheng mingled among the crowd, wearing a simple robe and holding a few books under his arm. He looked no different from other students.

Among the people in Wuyang Wuyang, many people are new students trained in universities, but among them there are actually scholars left over from the Ming Dynasty. They hold the idea of ​​holding an official position in the new dynasty. Come, so at his age, it is not uncommon.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I didn't expect that we would be allowed to come out just like that, and we could also participate in the official assessment."

The scene in front of me is so familiar. Decades ago, he also embarked on this journey to rush for the exam, and now he is doing it again.

Only the ideal in my heart has not changed.

Show your ambition and benefit the people.

"Where are you going?" Chen Qiyu greeted quickly.

There was also a little hope in his eyes.

Although Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu also never went to college, they had to attend classes every night before, so they were considered to be from semi-professional backgrounds. And after all, they were once Jinshi, and they can be regarded as the top beings in the world. It goes without saying that they have learning ability.

"Go join the army." He said somewhat depressedly:

The official examination of the Dahua Dynasty has been held several times, and the old scholars who came to participate had already figured out the ropes and bought some relevant books to study on their own before the examination.

"……Oh."

What is the difference between this and directly forcing them to rebel?

In the end, the officials thought about it and simply sent them to some prefectures and counties that had completed reform measures. As local officials, these people only needed to maintain the status quo.

"I will definitely fail the exam, why should I be embarrassed?"

With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the person in charge of the court now was Yan Ling, the chief minister.

Fortunately, they are self-aware and most of them are law-abiding and don't need to worry too much.

In the past few months, why hasn't he been infected by Dahua's various ideas and thinking about making a big impact?
Cao Wenzhao looked at the scene in front of him, muttered a few words, then turned around and left.

It cannot be said directly that all old-style scholars and those from the landowning and gentry classes should not be accepted.

Over there, Chen Qiyu chuckled and said:
"This Lord Chief Assistant's mind is indeed far beyond our imagination."

"Besides, a certain family has been killing people on the battlefield for half their lives, and they know that they are not the material to be an official. It will not be good to mess up those government affairs."

……

The court had nothing to say to these people.

After finishing the exam, they walked out of the examination room and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"But the army of the Great China Dynasty also needs a certain level of cultural literacy." Chen Qiyu said while suppressing a smile.

Although it is definitely not as good as university students who come from a major and have experienced systematic study, there are still some people who have successfully passed the exam.

"how do you feel?"

"The top pick...oh, there is no top pick. I won't be among the best, but at least I won't fail." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.

"This examination hall is much better than when I used it." Chen Qiyu turned around, looked at the tall building, and couldn't help but sigh. "The imperial court's emphasis on education is rare in ancient and modern times. Perhaps this is also an important reason why Dahua can dominate."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed.

Just from the various conditions of this examination college, we can see that the Hua Dynasty attached great importance to education. Not to mention the unheard-of compulsory education, which made the two of them couldn't help but marvel at the courage of the people in power in Dahua.

They were even more curious about this court.

The two walked side by side towards their temporary home.

Soon after, it was time to publish the results. As they expected, although their results were not as good as those of many outstanding university students, they were still among the best.

Half a month later, they went to the relevant government offices and received official appointments.

Compared with their previous official positions, this official position is quite low, but they also cherish it very much.

This is a new beginning.

Moreover, the world is far from peaceful now, and it is still quite easy to achieve political achievements and get promoted.

On the other hand, Cao Wenzhao's progress was relatively smooth.

When they arrived at the recruiting office, the recruiting officer got Cao Wenzhao's identity certificate and couldn't help but look at him twice.

Apparently he has also heard of the name of this famous Ming Dynasty general. However, he didn't say anything because of this. He recorded his name in a formal manner and then asked him to participate in the physical fitness test.

Cao Wenzhao, who was covered in tendons, naturally passed smoothly, and then the officer said:
"In half a month, come to the military camp to take the cultural exam. After passing it, you can officially join the army as a soldier."

If you complete compulsory education and obtain a diploma, you can join the army directly without taking the cultural examination. But at present, people who join the army in many places do not actually have this kind of thing, so they can only participate in the assessment after self-study.

Literacy literacy is now being carried out everywhere. As long as you want to learn, you don't have to worry about being taught.

So Cao Wenzhao waited for another half month before finally starting the cultural examination.

His scores in the cultural examination were quite satisfactory, but his scores in the physical fitness test were so good that he was pushed to the forefront.

"I want to see what kind of army can be so powerful."

Looking at the military camp in front of him, he murmured, and then stepped inside.

……

The three of them went to take the exam and successfully passed it. The news of becoming Dahua officials soon appeared on Yan Ling's desk.

After a quick glance, Yan Ling couldn't help but smile.

It seems that these people have deep feelings about the various changes in Dahua! To be able to get such a result in the exam is already a big deal.

They are also quite talented people, and they will surely be able to contribute to their careers in the future.

However, this matter did not attract him for long.

He quickly turned his attention to the other side. Over there, Yan Shishu and other officials were discussing something.

"Dashun's troops were extremely powerful, and they moved north to occupy key areas."

"The Ming Dynasty... I'm afraid it won't last long."

Yan Shishu said, his words were like flat thunder.
