In fact, the resistance to running a college and conducting imperial examinations was not great.

Because many people know that those who should have advantages still have their advantages, and those who have no advantages, even with this channel, they still have no advantages.

Even if local tycoons can elect their descendants as officials, their starting point is not low.

In addition, the entire environment of Dahan is getting better now.

But from another perspective, for them, the environment has actually become worse.

Because previously they only needed to find someone to recommend them to become officials, but that is no longer possible.

But what about passing the imperial examination?

It can widen the gap between those local powerful people and those big guys entrenched in the court to a certain extent.

Even if the final resources are still different, at least they all came through the imperial examination, and most of their positions were in the imperial court.

For them, it is equivalent to an opportunity to make friends with the big bosses in North Korea and China.

As for passing the imperial examination, you need to compete with those from less privileged families for places.

This can only be judged by the benevolent and the wise.

Why can wealthy families become bigger and bigger?

Why can their descendants serve as officials for generations?

The reason is that they have a lot of knowledge and a lot of books in their hands.

And these are advantages that those poor families do not have.

What they can get are only textbooks written by the imperial court, and the amount of knowledge is limited.

A person standing on flat ground will never see the same scenery as a person standing on the second floor.

Therefore, even in the imperial examination, people like them still have advantages.

In addition, the current wealthy families are far from developing to the point where it is difficult to control, so the resistance this matter can create is very small.

On the contrary, among the people, there is a wait-and-see attitude everywhere.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. The people are willing to wait and see with the opportunity of the imperial examination. Who can stop this?

…

It’s finally time to release the results.

Because there were not many people participating, the marking was very fast.

And because it was the first imperial examination, it was delayed for some time.

The main reason is that the imperial court needs to improve its experience through this imperial examination, summarize some gains and losses, and prepare for the next imperial examination.

The Ministry of Personnel put forward a proposal to build a special examination room. As soon as the plan was announced, Zhang Cang refused without hesitation because he had no money...

After all, it was just a quarrel, and it was a sterile quarrel, and the Ministry of Finance finally released the results.

Although it is an examination organized by the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel is strictly an internal department of the imperial court and has no direct connection with the outside world.

Therefore, considering that the imperial examination is also a major event, it should be treated seriously.

In addition to Wang Buxu's attitude, everyone finally decided that the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Rites would jointly draft a name, and then submit it to the three provinces. After review, it would be sent to the emperor for approval. After approval, it would be confirmed, and then sent back to the Shangshu Province, which would be responsible.

Release the results.

From the process point of view, it is a complete copy of the normal government order.

The place where the announcement was made was bustling with people, and people everywhere were watching the excitement.

The more than 100 students from Luoyang Academy were very proud to squeeze to the front.

This is their home court, although they did not expect such a great thing to happen to them.

But if you can become an official two years early, who wants to waste two years in the academy?

"Zhang Yan, you will definitely pass the exam this time, right?"

"If Zhang Yan can't pass the exam, then we will have no chance!"

Zhang Yan was surrounded by many students in the middle like a star holding the moon, and there were compliments everywhere.

And Zhang Yan himself also felt that he had great hope, after all, he did well in the exam this time.

Among this group of liberal arts students, he is the most knowledgeable. Compared with him, the others are not even close to him.

For this reason, Zhang Yan had even held a banquet in advance, which could be regarded as a farewell to the classmates he had been with for three years.

After all, he has a good family...

"If you pass or fail the exam, you will know immediately. But we have been classmates for three years and have some friendship. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. As long as it does not violate the principles, I, Zhang Yan, will not do it.

Say a word!" Zhang Yan promised to his classmates with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, it's settled, I'll invite you to a banquet then, but you must not come..."

"That's right, I'll arrange a show first when the rankings are released..."

"Let me tell you, those who fail will be arranged one by one later, which can be regarded as a feeling of joy..."

The people around them were filled with envy as they listened to these students' eloquent talks.

Look at this family, they have banquets every day without blinking an eye.

However, even so, it is only a drop in the bucket for their family wealth.

In fact, when they saw this scene, some people already had ideas and wanted to send their children to try it. What if it works?

"Hey, actually I don't want to go to the household department. I just learned that little thing every day at home..." Zhang Yan didn't want to disturb everyone's interest, but at this moment, if he didn't pretend to be cool, he felt like a thief in his heart.

uncomfortable.

Some of the other students were envious, while others were speechless.

But no matter what others think, Zhang Yan has the capital.

Being an official is not difficult for people like them, but now it's just a different form.

Except for a few exams where they were too stressed and failed, everyone else felt that they did well in the exam.

And what about Zhang Yan?

His father was Zhang Ao, a cavalry general. He had fought against the Huns before and made great achievements in battle. Now he is Han Xin's general.

His grandfather, Zhang Er, participated in Chen Sheng's uprising and later surrendered to Zhao as the emperor. Chen Yu, who was with Zhang Er at that time, now has grass on his grave as tall as his own.

Even though his health has not been very good in the past two years, so he has been recuperating at home, but he is still the top noble of the big man.

Zhang Yan's great-grandfather was even more awesome, the famous Prime Minister of Qin, Zhang Yi.

Do you think this is the end?

Of course not. His great-uncle, his great-great-grandfather’s younger brother, was the then Minister of Household Affairs, Zhang Cang, the famous Cang Cang.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Zhang Yan naturally knew that he had done well in the exam this time, and since his family was so rich, his name must be on the list of admissions this time.

If he had failed the exam, my uncle would have had someone tell him long ago.

However, until today, he has not received any notification from his uncle.

Because of Zhang Cang, Zhang Yan also studied economics and mathematics, and he has an advantage in numbers.

Soon, the Imperial Army cleared the way, and officials from the Shangshu Province held two trays with two sealed bamboo tubes on them.

Because this is a major event, the procedures are relatively rigorous.

The official from Shangshu Province took down a bamboo tube and showed it in front of many students to confirm that it was unopened.

Then he opened it in front of everyone.

Someone is already brushing the paper behind me, and the position of brushing is the engineering ranking list.

Many people feel sad and speechless. Wang Ji is the only one in the entire engineering department. Is it necessary to be so solemn?

After the painting was completed, two officials from Shangshu Province personally posted the list.

Sure enough, it says, in the fourth year of Jianyuan, in mid-September, the admission list for engineering subjects in the imperial examination was "Jia Wang Ji!"

It was just a name, but underneath it was written a lot of small characters, the name of the department, the person handling it, a seal, and even the emperor's signature and a huge jade seal.

In the entire list, the font size of Wang Ji's name can be compared with that of Wang Ji, and it is ranked at the beginning of his name.

Even the emperor's signature at the back is two sizes smaller than Wang Ji's name.

"Tsk, tsk, this guy got the limelight..." Even Zhang Yan felt a little sour in his heart at this moment.

One person dominates the list, who wouldn’t be envious?

After this incident, Wang Ji's name should soon be spread throughout the world, right?

Hey, it would be great if I could dominate the liberal arts list later...

Zhang Yan's fantasy could not stop the officials of Shangshu Province from taking action.

Soon, another list will be shown, then unpacked, painted, and posted in person.
To be continued...
