The morning light is faintly dewed.

Liu Jun has begun to review memorials in Shangfang and deal with the government affairs. Recently, the most important things in the court were that the first imperial examination in the new dynasty had begun, the county government examination had been completed, and this year's children's examination was also the largest in history.

According to the following statistics of the report, candidates from all over the country who came to participate in this year's children's examinations exceeded one million. This number made Liu Jun sigh that the Han Dynasty has a large population and many people.

There are thousands of candidates in some counties who will take the exam.

Among them, in the emperor's hometown of Macheng, Huangzhou, there were more than 3,000 candidates in the county, and there were more candidates in Shanghai than Macheng County. However, the largest number of candidates was not these two counties, but Ruyang County, Henan, with more than 8,000 people referring to them.

The children's examinations of the Han Dynasty were also divided into county examinations, government examinations, and college examinations, but there were slight changes. The two exams in the past year were changed to centralized examinations, and the county examinations were conducted in the government examinations. Each time, the examinations started in May and ended in July.

Most candidates will be beaten in the first round of county exams, and then some will be able to pass three rounds of exams and become scholars, quite a few of them.

The admission rate of the children's examination is lower than that of the Jinshi. The most difficult step in the children's examination is the palace examination.

Although Liu Jun intends to reform this year's imperial examination, Tongshi still takes care of the ideas of most officials, Tongshi followed the methods of the Ming Dynasty.

The content of the third test of the children's examination is roughly the same, mainly based on the four meanings, this sutra, theory, and strategy. The questions in the provincial examination are fewer than in the county examination. The county examination requires students to write one eight-part essay with the four and this sutras, one discussion, and one strategy question.

However, the government examination only requires writing one eight-part essay and one thesis. The college examination questions include "four, classical scriptures, strategies, and thesis". The number and form of the examination questions are basically the same as those of the county examination.

In the three exams, the government exam is the most difficult to get, and the candidates are the most likely to take the children's exam. In the children's exam, the candidates who used to refer to the previous candidates can directly take the government exam if they passed the county exam before, and the government exam is the most difficult. Therefore, in the past, countless people were stopped at the government exam every year, which led to the children's exam every year. The candidates who participated in the government exam always had the most likely candidates.

If you pass the county and government examinations, you have to pass the first level of the hospital examination.

By the time of the college entrance examination, a large number of millions of candidates were stopped. The admission rate of the college entrance examination was less than 10%, such as more than 4,000 candidates in the Shanghai County Examination were admitted in nearly 300, while ordinary counties only admitted sixty or seventy.

In the children's examination this year, Liu Jun asked local school officials to increase the admission rate. counties such as Ruyang, Shanghai, Shaoxing and Macheng with a large number of candidates were 300 to 500. In general, large counties were 100 to 200, and ordinary counties were 50 to 60.

Finally, the total number of students admitted to the children's examination this year was 50,000.

This means that 50,000 new scholars have been generated this year. Compared with the past, it has been at least a blink of an eye.

However, for the court, it would have no effect on admitting more scholars. Except for the top 20 scholars in each county, they can enjoy the qualification of rice and receive rice every month. The other scholars do not need to pay extra money for the court, and they no longer enjoy preferential treatment. At most, they have a fame and a little more honor. They are not allowed to kneel when they can see officials. The court doesn't care about adding more scholars.

According to statistics, in the past, there were no less than 600,000 scholars in the world, but now there is no increase in five years, which is nothing.

In the Ming Dynasty, after passing the child examination, scholars became scholars, and scholars had to go to the official school and were called students. The official school in each prefecture and county stipulated the number of students. At first, there were only 20 people in each county. Later, enrollment was expanded, and then, enrollment was expanded, and episomes were increased. Moreover, there was no limit on the number of episomes.

This is mainly because scholars’ fame and fortune are generally for life. Although scholars in county schools also have to take monthly exams and annual exams, it is stipulated that students with sixth grades in the exam will be cancelled, and the final grades will be cancelled. However, basically, few students have listed their scores as the last grade. The situation of eliminating fame and fortune has led to the increase in the number of scholars.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the episiophores in many counties had dozens of times the number of fixed quotas and increased, as many as hundreds. Even in some large counties, there were nearly a thousand students, and there were often thousands of students in the prefectures. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were nearly 700 students in Shanghai County Schools, and more than 3,000 students in Songjiang Province, including Shanghai County.

There are more than tens of thousands of students in Zhejiang Province.

After the Han Dynasty canceled the privileges of scholars, it expanded the admission scale, and admitted 50,000 people in one subject.

The new scholars who have won 50,000, plus the original scholars who have 600,000 have already taken this year's provincial examination qualification examination, that is, the subject examination.

The number of references to the imperial examination this year has also reached 600,000, of which about 50,000 students have not participated in the imperial examination for various reasons.

In the scientific examinations of Jiangxi Province alone, 50,000 scholars participated.

Because there are too many scholars, before the official juren exam, there must be a provincial examination qualification examination, subject examination, presided over by the academic officials.

Only students who pass the examination can be called imperial examination students and are qualified to participate in the provincial examination.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the admission rate for the examination was generally 30 to 1.

Liu Jun also increased the admission rate of this year's subject examination. Before the exam, he had already set the admission amount, and the total number of people in the world was admitted 60,000.

Among the 600,000 candidates in the Science and Technology Examination, 60,000 people were given the qualification for the provincial examination, which was one-tenth of the admission rate, three times that of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, after passing the four tests of county examinations, government examinations, college examinations, and subject examinations, from the millions of reference readers in the world, only 60,000 people were selected to participate in the national provincial examinations. These 60,000 candidates will go to the provincial capital examinations of each province. Finally, all the test papers are divided into seven major examination areas and merged to mark the papers. Each examination area will admit more than 400 new imperial examination candidates, and 3,000 juren will be admitted nationwide.

This is also twice the acceptance rate in the past.

The provincial examination in August and the imperial examination in December.

Although the admission rate this year has increased a lot, the content of the exam will be reformed again, and the eight-legged essay will be abolished again. There may be many scholars who are not suitable, but Liu Jun believes that in the face of doubled his admission rate, these scholars have nothing to complain about. After all, the reform is aimed at everyone, and everyone is the same test paper, starting from the same starting line.

Only the fittest survive. If they can't adapt, it only means that he is not suitable, and it is not the scholar Liu Jun wants to choose.

The provincial examination paper has been published. After several reviews, the emperor finally barely obtained the emperor's permission. The contents of the Four and Five Classics are very small, accounting for less than 30%. Many of the remaining contents are added according to the emperor's requirements, adding a lot of astronomical, geographic, arithmetic, laws, common sense and investigation of things.

The national provincial examination was divided into seven major examination areas, but all the test questions were the same. In the past, the admission quotas of the provincial examination in the Ming Dynasty were fixed by provinces, with 100 people admitted to each province, and the number of people in the remaining provinces was slightly lower. This year, it was divided into seven major examination areas, with more than 400 people admitted to each examination area and no longer divided into provinces.

In addition to the imperial examinations that kept the officials of the Ministry of Rites busy, the imperial court now has two major events. One is the court's Northern Expedition. The Mongolian tribes surrendered one after another. There were 54 flags of the six alliances and 54 flags of Mongolia in the south of the desert. Now there are 44 flags of the four alliances and 44 flags of the four alliances, and only ten alliances such as Korqin were still left.

The emperor issued a new decree to summon the forty-four flags to meet in Chifeng after the autumn.

After this order, the Lifanyuan, Privy Council, Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites and other yamen became busy again. It was not long before the September alliance, and the court had to make comprehensive preparations for this first alliance. At the same time, the Ministry of War and Privy Council also obtained a clear order. This alliance was to bring Mongolian troops to attack the four Korqin troops, and even prepare for the Qing Dynasty.

The military and logistics must be fully prepared.

As for the third major event, of course, the four armies of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion.

Now the three armies of the four armies are in the southwest. The former Ming royal family and ministers who rebelled everywhere have now been wiped out. Even the thieves who want to take advantage of the situation have been defeated. However, the three armies did not withdraw their troops, but instead rushed into the Yunnan-Guizhou area and started a massacre.

When Liu Qiao soldiers entered Guiyang and killed the Xi'an clan, the largest chieftain in Guizhou, and completely changed the land and land in Guizhou, and liberated slaves. After the court was passed on to the court, many officials were very dissatisfied with Liu Huangshu's behavior.

He believed that Liu Qiao relied on his identity and did things wrong.

For a moment, the impeachment memorial flew onto Liu Jun's imperial case like snowflakes.

Liu Jun was still very happy about the impeachment of the Kedao officials. They did not worry about Liu Qiao's identity. But at the same time, they were dissatisfied with the vision of these officials.

They could not see the importance of what Liu Qiao did in Guizhou, nor the necessity of changing the land and returning to the land. However, they were still speaking for the Southwest Yi who had rebelled and inconsistent, and they felt that Liu Qiao was provoking trouble.

Liu Jun's view is exactly the opposite. In fact, what Liu Qiao did in Guizhou was all his instructive. Without his instructive, Liu Qiao would not dare to make such a big fight in Guizhou, which would kill and settle the throne, and return to the land.

Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are now nominally considered the land of the Ming Dynasty. The chieftains were local officials granted by the Ming Dynasty. So far, they have not submitted a letter to the court to submit.

Liu Jun picked out all the memorials of impeachment of Liu Qiao, and threw them all into a box, leaving all the impeachment memorials to the end.

Liu Jun picked up his pen and started writing letters to Liu Qiao.

In the letter, Liu Jun praised Liu Qiao's performance in Guizhou and praised him for his influence on Guizhou's chieftains, Han military households, and chieftain slaves.

From a military perspective, Liu Qiao actually had 60,000 elite troops in his hands, so there was no need to use the military households of the former Ming Guard, chieftain slaves and some small local officials to assist in the battle.

But from a political perspective, this move is quite beautiful and extremely important.

With the participation of these people, the Battle of Guizhou is equivalent to the struggle between these local forces in Guizhou, and the imperial army became the ruling.

Making full use of these Guizhou natives is the best way to truly break and change the current situation in Guizhou.

Liu Jun also told Liu Qiao in the letter not to rush to Yunnan, and to completely pacify Guizhou first. Guizhou is in the center of the southwest and has settled Guizhou. The barbarian natives in the surrounding provinces of Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan will be divided and difficult to form a piece of paper. (To be continued.)
