Look at the 10 sheets of rough-edged paper in front of you.The brand-new brushes, inkstones, and ink pens made the readers even more surprised!

Can't help but pick up the paper one by one and observe carefully.

Looking carefully at the thin and soft paper, scholars from all schools of thought could not help but secretly marvel at it, and liked it very much.

But they still kept in mind the orders of the leaders of their respective sects, and kept their surprises in their hearts.

Dissatisfaction was shown on each face.

The few scholars who took the lead said loudly: "My lord, why didn't you send us bamboo slips and wooden tablets?"

The Minister of Rites said with a straight face: "The paper that was sent to you is a new type of writing material that His Majesty personally ordered the craftsmen to develop!"

A scholar immediately asked seriously: "My lord, can such a thin writing material compare to bamboo slips and wooden dungeons?"

The Minister of Rites said seriously: "Paper is easy to write on, thin and tough, cheap to make, and far superior in performance to bamboo slips!"

"My lord, the students have been using bamboo slips and wooden tablets to read and write since they were young, and they are already used to bamboo slips and wooden tablets. Students are really not used to this new writing material!"

The leading scholar said with a straight face: "My lord, let's give the students bamboo slips and wooden trunks!"

"The performance of paper far exceeds that of bamboo slips and wood, and it is also very convenient to write. The new writing material paper provided for this exam is also because His Majesty attaches great importance to you scholars. Use paper first to avoid the burden of heavy bamboo slips and wooden slips!"

The Minister of Rites said with a serious face: "All of you are excellent talents of our Great Qin Dynasty. They have a broad vision and a long-term vision. Naturally, they will appreciate Your Majesty's intentions! Use this paper to write your splendid articles!"

Hearing this, most of the scholars couldn't help feeling hot.

Candidates who do not belong to various schools of thought have already laid out the paper, started to grind it, and are ready to write articles.

Although the candidates sent by various schools of thought were still dissatisfied, they were speechless for a while!

The lead examinee is preparing reasons for rebuttal.

The Minister of Rites said loudly: "It's time for the exam! Announce the exam questions!"

Hearing this, all the examinees couldn't help but feel their hearts tense, they hurriedly raised their heads, and looked at the Minister of Rites with all their attention!

The scholars sent by various schools of thought did not dare to say anything more!
The exam has officially started, if they raise any objections, it will be deliberately disturbing the exam room!

Not only will he be kicked out of the examination room immediately and his qualifications for the examination will be cancelled, but his qualifications for the next three years will also be cancelled.

This is a major event related to your future.

After announcing the exam questions, the Minister of Rites said solemnly: "Students, write your composition carefully according to the topic!"

As soon as the order was given, the examinees who were not from hundreds of schools of thought immediately picked up their pens and dipped their ink in the ink, and began writing articles with all their heart.

Scholars from all schools and sects are not willing to give up the opportunity of the imperial examination this time.

Thinking hard, I carefully wrote the article according to the test questions.

Carrying a new-style writing brush, using new-style loose ink, and carefully writing articles on rough-edged paper, all candidates felt the convenience of paper and new-style stationery!
One by one couldn't help but get excited, displaying their literary talents, and writing articles in high spirits.

Especially those scholars of all schools and sects, they completely forgot the leader's advice!

The leaders of various schools of thought are gathering in one place at this moment, waiting for the news of the imperial examination.

"It's been an hour, why hasn't there been any news?"

The leader of the Legalists asked anxiously.

The leader of Confucianism said anxiously: "Yes, it has been such a long time, there should be some movement!"

The Taoist leader said worriedly: "Could it be possible that this tyrant really came up with new writing materials?"

"Absolutely impossible!" the Mohist giant said without hesitation: "Bamboo slips and mudu are the best writing materials! No matter how powerful a tyrant is, he will definitely not be able to produce anything better than bamboo slips and mudu!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and the doorman sent to inquire about the news ran in sweating profusely.

"Why are you so unruly!"

The leader of the Legal School immediately yelled: "Didn't you see that I am meeting with gentlemen from various sects? Why did you just break in!"

"Sir, something is wrong!" The ally who inquired about the news, without bothering to defend himself, gasped and said loudly: "The tyrant really came up with new writing materials!"

"Absolutely impossible!" the Mo family sentence scolded unceremoniously.

"Exactly!"

The doorman who inquired about the news said with a serious face: "This new writing material is called paper! It is light and tough, easy to fold, easy to write, and the handwriting is clear and round!"

The leader of the Legal School hurriedly asked: "When did it come out? Why didn't we hear any news!"

"It should have been made in the last few days!"

The doorman hurriedly said: "Before the exam, all official memorials are written on bamboo slips and wooden tablets!"

The Mohist giant still said in disbelief: "It's absolutely impossible, paper will definitely not be more useful than bamboo slips!"

The leader of the Legal School frowned, ignoring the giant of the Mo School, and asked seriously! "What about the candidates? What's their attitude?"

"All the candidates are full of praise for using this paper and new stationery!"

The doorman hurriedly said seriously: "Everyone was concentrating on writing the test-taking essays, and didn't put forward any opinions!"

"This group of students and disciples is really disappointing!"

When the Confucian leader heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said loudly: "In order to take the exam, you don't even listen to us!"

"I can't blame them." Although the leader of the Legalists frowned, he thought about it carefully, sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "The tyrant opened the imperial examination, and as long as he passed the exam, he can officially become a Court officials!"

"Learn literary and martial arts, and report to the emperor's family!"

The Taoist leader couldn't help laughing bitterly: "Scholars study hard in the cold window, isn't it just for the purpose of being an official one day, gaining glory and wealth and revenge?"

The Mohists still refuse to believe that paper can be quickly accepted by scholars.

He said with a serious face: "This paper is really so good, I don't believe it!"

"Sir, whether you believe it or not, what the student said is the truth!"

The doorman hurriedly said: "As soon as the exam is over this morning, paper will be popular in Xianyang market! Then you can buy a piece of paper and see for yourself!"
