The exam is about to start, and the scholars' conversations intentionally or unintentionally avoid the big exam. At the literary meeting a few days ago, everyone could speculate on the exam questions and everything in the exam room.
Anyone whose family recognizes a Jinshi in the fourth year of Yuanzhen can invite Dr. Li from Guanwen Hall to teach everyone his experience. There is no need to count on the rest of the Jinshi. They are all serving as officials outside and cannot be invited.

The heated scene was no different from the fateful academic exam that was approaching later.
At this meeting, no one stopped talking about the examination room. It was obvious that they were a little nervous and did not want to increase the psychological burden on themselves or others.
Among the several people, Xu Yushi was probably the most relaxed. He didn't speak much, he raised his head and just looked around.
A few days ago, he and his nephew came together to familiarize themselves with the environment of the examination room. They also spent half a day wandering in a garden not far away. They both said that the liberal arts college was well built. If they could buy a house around here in the future,
It will be very good.
With the idea in mind, they sent someone to inquire about the house prices of the houses around Wenyuan. After hearing the reports, the two of them never mentioned the matter again.
The mansions close to the imperial city are now doubling every year, and the residences close to the liberal arts college were later the school district houses in the second ring road of the capital.
An inch of land and an inch of gold cannot accurately describe its gold value. It can only be described as having a price but no market.
Not to mention Jiangyou officials like Xu Yushi, even if you are some big family in Chang'an, if you want to buy a house near Wenyuan, you have to carefully consider whether your family's financial resources are sufficient.
This is only the price for Yuanzhen's seven years in the early Tang Dynasty. It's unclear what it will be like in a few years.
The so-called difficulty of living in the capital has been said since ancient times and even in the future. Later, in most places, it was enough to have money. In the current world, only wealthy people live near the imperial city.

The sky is getting brighter and there are more and more people in the square.
As the opening hours approached, the people in the square gradually became quiet. The scholars finally adjusted their robes, took out the wooden signs representing their identities, braced themselves, and prepared for admission.
Scientific research in the early Tang Dynasty was not as complicated as later.
When the time came, someone shouted loudly, "It's time to start... All the scholars must announce their names and enter. They are not allowed to make noises and fight. Violators will be arrested and will not be allowed to enter."
The scholars who were referred seemed very calm. These rules had been explained to them when they went to the Ministry of Etiquette to report.
There are five gates in the front of the Wenyuan. The main gate is only for entry but not for entry, and the other four small gates are for entry and exit.
Under the organization of officials from the Ministry of Rites, the scholars lined up in front of the four small gates according to their number plates.
After everyone was separated, the square was not so crowded, and the scholars lined up, waiting for inspection and admission.
Xu Yushi was separated from the others and his nephew. After the Ministry of Rites had experienced the Beijing Examination, they would no longer let any fellow countrymen, relatives, etc. refer to each other.
The simplest way is to mix and divide southerners and northerners, change the invigilators every day, and appoint them at random. As for the loopholes of substitute exams, you can also think of it, but there is no good way to eliminate it.
You can only ask the examiners of the rural examination, the road examination or other local officials to vouch for it, and verify the candidate's place of origin, family situation, etc. in detail.
The so-called identification on the spot actually means asking you to press your fingerprints. All the work is done in front of you. If the person taking the exam can get to this point, there is nothing you can do to find him out.
Later, there were a lot of people who took the exams for the braided imperial examination. There were people at the top to smooth things over, and there were people at the bottom to protect them. As long as the family was rich and powerful, it was definitely not difficult to take the imperial examination and get a good background.
And in the Tang Dynasty, it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone had not thought of it, or did not dare to do so many tricks, that is, they made trouble in the provincial examination and got caught a lot.
After a few years, the situation may continue to deteriorate. This is determined by human nature. Laws and rules can only make people restrain themselves, but not eliminate them.
Because the imperial examination is related to people's future and destiny, people who think that they cannot achieve anything in the imperial examination will naturally take risks. It just depends on whether you have the courage.
"Hubei Road, Jiangling, Master Xu Yu..."
Master Xu Yue stepped forward and handed in his number plate. The official at the desk at the door checked it, looked up at him again, and put a circle in front of his name to indicate that the person had arrived. Master Xu Yue stepped forward and pressed the button.
Make a mudra.
A clerk next to him immediately came up and said he was offended, and quickly started to search him.
There was no need to take off all the clothes later, but a few old officials who specialized in catching thieves were found in Chang'an Prefecture to search the body of the scholar.
At the end of April, everyone's clothes were thin and it was difficult to carry them around. Even Master Xu Yue knew that he would be treated like this, but when someone touched his body, Master Xu Yue still felt insulted and his body became stiff. He had never been touched like this by a man since he was sensible.
Afterwards, I felt uncomfortable everywhere, and even got goosebumps.
The old official was very quick. As soon as the search was completed, he immediately nodded to the official, sent back Master Xu Yu's number plate, and politely made a gesture of inviting guests, with a fawning smile on his face.
Then Master Xu Yu felt that he had regained his respect, bowed his hands slightly, and stepped through the door.

In fact, the examination process this year is significantly different from that of three years ago. Scholars no longer need to bring their own pens, ink, clothes, food, etc. You only need to bring a head.
This greatly simplifies the procrastination of the entry process, but increases the number of preparations in advance and places more requirements on logistics supply.
For a few days, the scholars had to eat, drink, and have sex in the Wen Yuan. If they didn't bring anything themselves, they would have to prepare it for them.
With supplies for thousands of people, do you think the burden is heavy?
On the road inside the Wenyuan, there are stationed guards. Forty or fifty steps away, there is a man standing with a sword in his sight. The officers are patrolling left and right, preparing to deal with various emergencies.
When he entered the Academy of Arts for the first time, the person who greeted him at the door took Master Xu Yu's number plate, looked at it, and gave him directions on where to go. There was no one to lead him there. This was different from the last time in the capital.
Master Xu Yu didn't waste any time, and immediately followed the scholar who came in first and walked in quickly.
The atmosphere in the liberal arts college was relatively depressing. It gave Master Xu Yu the feeling that he was walking three steps, one post, five steps, one sentry, as if he had entered a military camp.
The road ahead is open, with tall trees planted on both sides. The summer wind blows, the leaves rustle, and there is a sound of birds chirping and insects chirping.
Through the trees, the liberal arts college is densely packed with houses, just like... a water village in Poyang Lake...
Master Xu Yu's ancestral home is Poyang, and he grew up by Poyang Lake...
