The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Tao is expanding enrollment here, so why not expand enrollment elsewhere?It's just that if they want to expand their enrollment, they will naturally have to wait until after the autumn harvest, but for winter wheat, at least Yuan Shao has begun to consider promoting it, and it would be good to have more food.

He didn't know that the key to the formation of a technology is the complete supporting technology.Mere imitation, in the end, is nothing but imitation.But even if Liu Tao knew about it, he wouldn't kindly remind Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao did not expand his army, but he still had enough troops to send troops.

Taking advantage of the fact that Ju State was messed up by Zang Ba and the people's livelihood was getting worse and worse, Zhu Ling was sent to lead an army of [-] people to kill them, successfully defeated Zang Ba's tribe, and occupied Langya County.

After Zang Ba's failure, he went all the way south, but he did not loot the place maliciously.In the end, Zhang Chao came forward and incorporated Zang Ba's tribe, further expanding his power.

At the same time, above the court, without any constraints, he began to continuously expand his power.

According to Tao Qian's suggestion, Liu Yao planned to marry Zang Ba on the one hand, and on the other hand sent someone to matchmaking with Cao Bao.It's a pity that Zang Ba directly refused to marry, and Cao Bao's attitude was also ambiguous.

The Chens and his sons were so indifferent to him that in August, Liu Yao could even feel that he was going to die.

Sure enough, in mid-August, Zhang Chao led a group of civil and military forces to force Liu Yao to abdicate.The latter was not reconciled, and was finally held up to complete the abdication.Zhang Chao ascended the throne smoothly, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and established the Qi State.

At the same time, they sent people to form an alliance with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.The three of them hated Liu Tao very much, but they readily formed an alliance and kept talking to the outside world.

After all, Yuan Shu's current goal is Lujiang County, so he let Zhang Chao go for the time being.

Yuan Shao is testing Yan Han to see if he can be defeated.If not, Yan Han and Xianbei, together with Zhang Chao and Yuan Shu, will form an alliance army to attack Liu Tao, at least to encircle the Northern Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian defeated Zhang Ying and Fan Neng's troops in Danyang, and made great strides all the way. Taking advantage of the fall, he was overwhelmed by the enemy, and quickly captured Danyang County.The army has no intention of stopping at all, and the army is pointing directly at Wu County, which is the capital of Wu Han!

In this battle, Sun Ce gained a great reputation as a pioneer. According to folklore, he was given the nickname of "Little Overlord".

Even in Jing County, he defeated Liu Yao's general Tai Shici, broke through the ambush of Zongshuai Zulang, and subdued the two.

Liu Biao took the opportunity to attack Changsha, but was stopped by Huang Gai. In the end, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who had just joined Sun Jian's command, led the navy to defeat Liu Biao and fled back to Jiangling in embarrassment.

Huang Zu's general Gan Ning was captured, accepted Sima Fang's surrender, and joined Luo Wang Sun Jian's command.

None of this has much to do with Liu Tao, or in other words, his attention at the moment is all on Enke this time.

A month ago, candidates had gathered in Jinyang one after another. Compared with last time, the number of candidates had at least tripled.The orthodoxy and authority of the Han Dynasty has gradually been recognized by people all over the world.

Even if he was dissatisfied with Liu Tao's attitude towards scholars, he had no choice but to obediently send out his clan's children to take part in the scientific examination.

"This is Jinyang...it's even more prosperous than Xiangyang..." A scholar walked down the street, sighing with emotion.

Chapter 557

The number of people taking part in this imperial examination was indeed much higher than last year.

Those who participated last year, after a year of review, definitely plan to try again, not to mention that there are still many self-consciously accomplished students who plan to come and try their luck.

In addition, Enke announced this time one year in advance, and it has been passed on to all parts of the world.Because people from all over the country are interested in the imperial examination, many people come three months in advance, and the libraries in all places are full of it.

Fortunately, no one planned to be blacklisted. Even if two or three people read a book, they wouldn't make a fuss.It's not that they haven't read the book, but they heard that Liu Tao's sentence division is different, so come here to confirm.

If you want to come here to participate in the scientific examination, then the content of the scriptures and meanings are all based on the division of sentences and readings here.As an examinee, of course, you must treat it with caution, even though many people have received news that Jingyi does not account for a large proportion of the imperial examination.

According to Liu Tao's meaning, the future imperial examination should be divided into: administrative professional ability test, common laws and policy theory.

Even the law can be removed later, after all, the judicial power will be separated from the local officials at that time, and the Supreme Court will be established, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment.

Officials are only responsible for governing politics and maintaining local order; judgments on civil disputes and criminal cases are entrusted to the courts; local riots are entrusted to the armed police.In this way, the power of officials is further divided, and the officials who control the military and political power of one party will disappear from then on.

Three days before the start of the exam, the candidates had already gathered.After all, the official has announced in advance that the exam discipline and exam room instructions will be explained three days in advance.If you don't expect to be kicked out of the examination room or even disqualified from the examination, it is best to come here.

"Additional exam?" This time not only announced the exam instructions, but also temporarily announced a news.

"In view of the large number of references this time, His Majesty announced an additional test and personally wrote the questions. As compensation, this 120-point test paper only needs [-] points." The official announced.

The number of people was too much higher than expected, the examination room was not enough, and at the same time, they were also disgusted by the situation last time, where a lot of mermaids looked like fakes. The examiners had to complain to Liu Tao. Filter out.

The test will not be too difficult, but you can get the status of a scholar if you get [-] points in the test...

Most of the examinees know that only by obtaining the status of a scholar can they participate in the rural examination.Now the imperial court has confirmed that it can be more sloppy, and it will be stricter in the future, and I have to find a way to take the boy's exam in order to obtain the status of a scholar.

In fact, even without this preferential treatment, if the imperial court asked them to take the exam, they would naturally have to take the exam.Now that there are additional benefits, the candidates' emotions will naturally calm down.

"In other words, this imperial examination will take four days..." Some of the candidates said with emotion.

If possible, Liu Tao would like to take two or three hours for one subject, and finish the test in one or two days.However, if you write with a brush, and if you have to make a draft, it is probably not enough for a day.

Strictly speaking, the exam starts at [-]:[-] am and the papers are collected at [-]:[-] pm. Counting the time for lunch, it will only take ten hours.Just to avoid collusion between inside and outside, so the exam is not allowed to leave the exam room, and can only go out after three days.

"This time it's not a four-day exam, but an additional exam first, and the list will be announced three days later. Candidates who pass the exam can take the subsequent exam." The officials realized that the candidates were thinking wrong, so they quickly corrected it.

Counting the time of the follow-up examination papers and ranking, it will be ten days before and after.After passing the exam, they had a rest day, and the first-ranked candidates had to enter the palace to take the imperial examination.

Of course, the examinees will have no problem even if they wait a few months, not to mention more than ten days.

Following the explanation of the little official, this time the additional test was mainly about a little cultural knowledge, part of the calculation questions, part of the reading analysis, and an article of [-] to [-] words, so it was announced that it would be disbanded.

Articles of [-] to [-] words are not uncommon in this era.Fortunately, the clerk announced that the reading of a sentence counts as one word, and the examinees were a little relieved.Of course, I also know in my heart that if I read too many sentences, points will probably be deducted.

If someone dares to write the entire article in sentence reading, or if the sentence reading occupies more than 60%, then he will be directly disqualified from reference.No way, no way, no one is really that bold, right?

"Zhouping, it seems that the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty wants to gradually abolish the classics..." When they left, several scholars gathered together, all students from Shuijing Academy.

At first it was said to come to see the world and see how their knowledge is.I didn't plan to come over to become an official, so I went back after the exam.

Later, I heard from a small official that if you do not become an official after passing the exam, you will be disqualified from being an official in the future.At this time, some people's minds inevitably became active.

In the final analysis, it is whether to bet, to bet that the big Han (Southern Han) can dominate, or, at present, which force has potential.

As long as this force finally defeats the Northern Han Dynasty, then Liu Tao's ban will be of no use to them.

Conversely, if it doesn't work, it's best to plan ahead.The little official who announced the rules also said that no matter where they conquered after the Northern Han Dynasty, the original local officials would never be used again, and the only way to become an official was to take the imperial examination.

At the same time, there is an age limit for taking the imperial examinations. People who are 40 years old cannot take part in the imperial examinations.

These scholars from all over the world somewhat don't understand why the Northern Han Dynasty has such a shortage of people, so why are there such strict requirements for scientific examinations.At the same time, it was so harsh on the unexpected scholars in the Northern Han Dynasty.

But after seeing so many candidates around, everyone probably understood.As long as the Northern Han Dynasty continues to promote education, and some county schools are established, there will be no fewer candidates who will take the scientific examination in the future.

The embarrassment at this stage is due to the scope of promotion and the small number of students enrolled.In the future, the number of people will increase, and the vacant official positions will not be enough for local candidates from the Northern Han Dynasty. How can it be cheaper for candidates from other countries?

"It doesn't seem like it, but he does have this plan." The examinee with the name Zhouping replied, "After all, most of the examinees come from ordinary families, and they don't have so many books to read. Therefore, the more straightforward the exam content, the better for them. "

Confucian classics will definitely not be abolished, but will be excerpted and simplified into the content of the exam, and the cultural heritage must not be lost.

For this reason, special teaching materials will be compiled in the future.For example, Chinese, mathematics, etc., plus a moral education, the county school is changed to political education.Even if the students cultivated in this way do not have such a high political consciousness, they can at least be able to hear and see these things and open their mouths.

As for pure Confucian classics, it will be a thing of the academic circle in the future.The basic education is the same for everyone. On this basis, each family teaches its disciples casually, and after they become officials, they integrate their academic knowledge into politics.
