After Yinfeng summoned the leader who was going to explore the New World, he immediately issued an edict that the New World officially became the Qing Dynasty, and sent Prince Xiang Hongxi and Prince Yu to take [-] people there in September and temporarily settle down for future change. Prepare for mass immigration.Yinfeng didn't intend to let the New World go barren like this!

The compulsory school implemented by Taichang three years ago has been gradually developed and perfected, and the embryonic form of a modern education system has taken shape.There are kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school.Children as young as three years old and teenagers as young as 14 years old are required to attend school.

Children aged three to five are enrolled in kindergarten; those aged six to 11 are enrolled in primary school; those aged 14 to [-] are enrolled in middle school.

All students who meet the age in the compulsory school are provided with food and clothing for free. For those who are willing to stay in school after school because their homes are far away, free simple houses can be provided at the same time.

In the year when the students are about to leave middle school at the age of 14, all students need to take the entrance examination for high school. Those who pass will enter high school. Those who fail can choose to repeat or drop out of school.

Students who enter high school can get three taels of silver subsidy in their families every year (not counting expenses, three taels of silver is almost the whole family's annual income in ancient farm families), and they can take the imperial examination for free throughout the whole process, and all students are 20 years old. Previously, a scientific examination had to be taken.And during the scientific expedition, all basic daily expenses will be borne by the imperial court.

However, once those who take the imperial examination after the age of 20, the court will no longer contribute.And for scholars who are over 20 years old and still want to stay in high school, although the imperial court will not expel them, they will take back the free food, clothing and houses.

Therefore, the capital examination in July of the eighth year of Taichang was very different from the past in that the number of peasant children increased several times compared with the previous imperial examination.

What is even bigger than this difference is that Hongkun proposed in the court three years ago: Gradually weaken the stereotyped selection of scholars and increase the number of research talents.

Therefore, this scientific examination is no longer the pure stereotyped selection of scholars before, and the content is much more flexible.Since the rural examination, five new subjects have been added.Geography, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry respectively.

Each of these five newly added subjects must be taken in the township examination.But in the general examination, candidates can choose to apply for the subjects they want to specialize in according to their preferences.

This is the second imperial examination for Yinreng since he ascended the throne. The last time was in the first year of Taichang.In the following years, because the national mourning continued, it has not been held for six years.

At the Enke in the first year of Taichang, Yinfeng had already won the disciple of the emperor.This time, Yinfeng intended to let Hongkun train his future team members, so he appointed Hongkun as the chief examiner for this exam, instead of letting a bachelor as usual.

On July [-]th of the eighth year of Taichang, before the sun was shining, Hongkun got up. After washing, he was served by Xiao Lingzi, put on the cumbersome court clothes, brought court beads, and went out of the palace in full guard of honor. The location of this test - Suncheon Gongwon.

When Hongkun arrived, the deputy examiner Hongmin and several academicians had already led all the officials who participated in the examination process to wait at the gate of the Tribute Academy.On both sides were sergeants transferred from the palace to maintain order, forming two human walls on the left and right.Behind the human wall is a sea of ​​students.

When the crowd saw the guard of honor approaching, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

The guard of honor stopped at the gate of Suncheon Gongyuan, Hongkun got up and walked down from the guard of honor.Walking in front of Hong Min and several senior scholars, he bent down to help them up, glanced around for another week, then raised his head and said softly, "Let's all get flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince." The voices of thanks came one after another, and it was only after about half a minute that there was no sound at all.

Hongkun turned to look at the students around him, and said indifferently: "Students who have studied hard for decades, the purpose of coming to Beijing to rush for the exam is to be able to serve the country in the future. I respect your loyalty and know your pride. Please order that you will not be searched or inspected when you enter the Gongyuan. But during the answering period, Guhui and other examiners will lead a thousand Imperial Guards to patrol around the Gongyuan. If any fraudsters are found, they will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately. After the examination is over Hougu will deal with it himself. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The students present were all elated, and they all thanked Hongkun in their hearts.After all, the body search of the imperial examination was too much. They were students, not criminals. The previous strip inspection was not only an offense to their dignity, but also an insult.However, most of those who can pass the provincial examination and take part in the general examination have real talents, and there are still a small number of cheaters.

"Before each exam, the chief examiner will say words of encouragement to the students. I have nothing to say, only four sentences for you: review the questions calmly, answer the questions seriously, check carefully, and go home steadily. This Even all the words I want to say to you are also Gu’s guarantee to you. In addition, I wish all the students here can get the titles on the gold list and become the pillars of the country in the end!”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Hongkun said again: "There is still half an hour before everyone enters the arena. Gu and all the examiners will distribute the examination papers first, everyone, please wait here for a while."

"Yes. Congratulations to His Royal Highness! Congratulations to all the adults!" The answers from the students were still one after another, but it was much more lively than before.

Hongmin also hurriedly led people out of the way, and Hongkun immediately led the people and the imperial guards into the Gongyuan.

Hongkun only needs to order the distribution of test papers, and the officials will do it. Hongkun will take Hongmin and several deputy examiners to inspect the place where the scientific examination will be held, and check the rooms for any damage.

Seeing Hongkun's unhurried appearance, Hongmin who was following behind Hongkun finally couldn't help reminding: "Brother, do you really not search or check? What if someone takes the opportunity to cheat..."

Hongkun smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, Gongyuan was overhauled a year ago, and the innermost wall of all the small rooms used the one-way mirror newly made by Gewuyuan. In all the back-to-back rooms, the lonely and let People left an aisle that barely allows two people to pass through. The floor in the aisle is paved with sand. In each aisle, there are three people walking back and forth at the same time. They can guard against us outside, but inside..., they can't Know someone, how to guard against it?"

Hongmin didn't expect Hongkun to come up with such a tactic, so he opened his eyes wide and worshiped: "Then how do they spread the news after they find out who cheated?"

Hongkun smiled, and said a way that couldn't be more primitive: "Hand out from the cracks at both ends of the aisle: a small note with the cheating student's room number written on it."

"..."

After Hong Min heard this, he staggered and opened his mouth wide in shock.He thought that Hongkun would come up with a method as high-end as a one-way mirror.The result is so simple and rude...

"Cough!" Hong Min hurriedly stood firm, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said again: "Brother, if Hong Zhou really wants to enter the Nage Museum, he can just ask Huang Ama, Huang Ama will definitely agree. , why bother to take the imperial examination?”

Hongkun shook his head and said: "Which of the great scholars in Gewuyuan has no real talent and learning? And almost all of them are from poor families, and they look down on the rich and powerful children the most. If Huang Ama orders Tianshen to go, they will definitely be excluded He. But if they pass the imperial examination, they will have nothing to say."

When Hongkun said this, a proud smile suddenly appeared on his face: Besides, it's not that my Tianshen failed the exam...

Hong Min frowned and said: "But this time, most of the questions in the test are given by the eldest brother, and the four natural science subjects set up by the Gewu Academy are almost all the questions given by the eldest brother. The eldest brother is not afraid of being criticized. Through the question?"

Hearing this, Hongkun smiled faintly, walked into the small room in front of him, touched the table, turned around and retreated, looked at the guard beside him and ordered: "The table is shaking, move it away and get another one."

"Hey." The two guards closest to Hongkun quickly slapped a thousand children, and hurried forward to move the table away.

After the guards left, Hong Kun calmly replied to Hong Min's words just now: "It's enough for Gu to look up to the sky and bow down to the ground. If they want to talk, they can say it. Gu can sew their mouths shut." No? Besides, even Tianshen has never taught the questions Gu asked this time."
