After the Jitian Dadian, Lin Feng resumed his two-point and one-line life, traveling between Lijiazhuang and Fengyang City every day.

The principle of the steam engine seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to make it, especially in Dayan, which has no industrial foundation. Lin Feng is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time anyway.

Lin Feng always believed that one day he would be able to build a steam engine and then a train. This was the most important step in Lin Feng's plan to transform Dayan. Once completed, the Dayan Dynasty would enter the primary stage of industrialization.

Time passed day by day, and the day of the national examination was getting closer. As scholars from all over the country gathered in Fengyang City to take the exam, the streets and alleys of Fengyang City began to become lively.

Not surprisingly, Huangfu Gongsheng officially appointed Gu Zhang as the examiner of the examination. In addition, Jiangling Hou Linfeng, History Minister Xia Yuan, Rites Minister Zuoqiu, and Hubu Minister Liu Qin were the deputy examiners. Shen Yan, the commander of the Yulin Army, was the invigilator. .

The rules of the joint examination were similar to those of the provincial examination. Three days before the joint examination, Lin Feng was invited to Gongyuan. The examiners of the joint examination were Gu Zhang and the four academicians of the Hanlin Academy, Lin Feng, Xia Yuan, Zuo Qiu, The responsibility of the four deputy examiners Liu Qin is supervision.

Although Lin Feng is the deputy examiner, in fact he is just a soy saucer. If Huangfu Gongsheng had not asked him to be the deputy examiner, Lin Feng would probably be developing steam engines in Lijiazhuang!

Three days passed by in a flash, and all the test questions were completed.

In the fourth year of Saint Ann, February 22nd.

The square in front of the Gongyuan Gate was crowded with people. The scholars who came to take the examination formed four long queues. The four deputy examiners, Lin Feng, Xia Yuan, Zuo Qiu, and Liu Qin, were responsible for the inspection of the three entrance examinations.

Shen Yan, the commander of the Royal Forest Army who was in charge of invigilating the exam, specially assigned Cheng Tianhu to Lin Feng as his assistant.

"Brother Lin, it's been a long time since we last met. Thank you so much for persuading Your Majesty to cancel the marriage." Cheng Tianhu raised his hand with gratitude.

"Brother Cheng, you don't have to be polite. Oh, by the way, what's going on between you and Zuo Yumeng now? When can I get to drink your wedding wine?"

"It's still early days for me and Yu Meng! I will send you a wedding invitation as soon as the date is confirmed."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll be waiting for your big red wedding invitation at home."

At this time, a young scholar in his twenties walked into the inspection shed. When he saw Lin Feng, he immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Student Yang Fan pays homage to Mr. Lin. This is the student's identity seal. Please take a look at it, Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng took the seal, opened it and saw the official seals of various levels of government on it, and immediately nodded, "There is no problem with Yang Shizi's identity. Brother Cheng, let the guards start checking!"

Cheng Tianhu waved his right hand, and several Imperial Forest Army guards standing aside immediately came forward to search him. The guards checked very carefully, not missing anything suspicious.

"Sir, there is no entrapment."

Lin Feng nodded and pointed to a large wooden box next to him, "Yang Shizi, put your hand in and take out your examination seat!"

Yang Fan obviously knew the rules, and he immediately reached out and took out an examination number from the wooden box, "Mr. Lin, the student's examination number is Bingsan-406."

Lin Feng took a note and wrote down Yang Fan's examination number, "Yang Shizi, you can enter the examination room."

"Thank you, Master Lin!"

Yang Fan bowed his head respectfully, turned around and walked towards the inside of the Gongyuan.

"Next person."

……

After a whole day of inspections, Lin Feng returned to his residence in Gongyuan. He first took a hot bath, then went to bed and had a good sleep.

The next day, the examination officially began. As the deputy examiner, Lin Feng's daily duty was to patrol the examination room. After some inquiring, he learned that his uncle's examination number was Yiyi-205, so he went directly to the examination room. Walk to Examination Room B1.

As soon as Lin Feng walked into Examination Room B1, the invigilator from Examination Room B1 immediately came forward and said, "Xiaguan Hanlin Academy Hanlin Gao Tianyang has met Master Lin. Everything is normal in Examination Room B1."

Lin Feng nodded, "Gao Hanlin, go ahead and take a look."

"Please, Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng watched as he walked. It was like the invigilator inspecting the examination room during the college entrance examination. Soon Lin Feng came to the examination seat 205.

At this time, Wang Xiaozhi was racking his brains to think about the test questions. Lin Feng looked at Wang Xiaozhi's test paper and found that he got stuck on the 62nd question of the 300 ancient history questions. It seemed that Wang Xiaozhi had encountered It's difficult.

Lin Feng didn't know much about this uncle Jiu who came to his door automatically, so he had never dared to have a close relationship. Now that the opportunity had come, Lin Feng planned to test out this uncle's character.

"Uncle Jiu, do you need help?"

Wang Xiaozhi raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, "Xiao Feng, do you know that your current behavior is knowing the law and breaking the law?"

Lin Feng nodded, "Uncle Jiu, if I told you the answer, then I would indeed have broken the law, but I haven't told you the answer now, so I have not broken the law. How about it? Uncle Jiu wants me to break the law." ?"

"Go, go, don't think that just because you are the deputy examiner, you can come and disturb me from doing the questions. Be careful, I will complain to you to the chief examiner."

As soon as Wang Xiaozhi said this, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Xiaozhi had accepted his "kindness" just now, Lin Feng would not only not tell him the answer, but would deliberately alienate his ninth uncle. Now it seems that his ninth uncle My uncle is a trustworthy person, at least there shouldn't be any problems with his character.

"Uncle Jiu, please take your time taking the exam, and my nephew won't disturb you anymore." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he left the No. 1 examination room directly.

Time passed quickly, and the four-day examination was soon over. Next was the marking time. Lin Feng, the fourth member of the examination, only participated in the marking of the poetry and composition section.

Five days later, under the joint evaluation of Gu Zhang and the four deputy examiners, a total of 336 tribute scholars were admitted. Unsurprisingly, Huiyuan was Zheng Bowen, the first student of the Imperial College.

The twelve-day examination was finally over. Lin Feng rushed home as soon as possible. As soon as he stepped off the carriage, Wang Xiaozhi led several strangers to greet him. It was obvious that his uncle had been waiting at the door for a long time. .

"Students Li Jun, Sun Shuren, Hong Wenliang, Gao Sachs, Lu Haomin, and Yu Houyuan paid homage to Mr. Lin."

"Xiao Feng, you are finally back. The six of them are Jiujiu's friends and also participated in this year's examination. I heard that you are my nephew, so I came here to visit you."

Lin Feng nodded, "Everyone, please excuse yourself. Since you are my uncle's friends, you can also be considered my elders."

"There is no order of learning, the master is the teacher, and the students pay homage to Master Lin." Li Jun, Sun Shuren, Hong Wenliang, Gao Shang, Lu Haomin, and Yu Houyuan all bowed and saluted.

Of course Lin Feng knew what the six of them meant. For Wang Xiaozhi's sake, Lin Feng couldn't refuse. He nodded immediately, "You guys don't need to be polite. If you have anything to say, let's go in and talk about it."

Lin's living room.

Lin Feng had just sat down on the sofa, and before he could take a sip of tea, Wang Xiaozhi couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Feng, have you selected the Gongshi people for this audition?"

"It's settled. The results will be officially released at Chenshi tomorrow morning."

Wang Xiaozhi looked at Lin Feng expectantly, "Xiao Feng, how did Uncle Jiu do in the exam? Did you get on the list?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's on the list, one hundred and eighty-three. Uncle Jiu, it's probably a bit difficult for you to be a high school Jinshi with your ranking!"
