Looking at the entire North China Plain, Bianliang City was less damaged.

Under the rule of the governor Cheng Zhiyuan, the governor of Bianliang City, there was no trouble. The Huang Chao uprising army did not pay attention to this city at all. They were determined to attack historical cities such as Luoyang and Chang'an. After seizing Bianliang, they did not send heavy troops to garrison. The city he had worked hard to capture was easily and happily recaptured by the governor Cheng Zhiyuan. This is also the reason why Duan Mingyu can still make a fortune by doing some business.

However, once the war burns, it will really be a big question whether Duan Mingyu's life can be preserved, let alone achieve the great cause of making a fortune.

Find a backer? Yang Zhaoniang accidentally reminded me. After all, the emperor has the greatest name, under the banner of the emperor, but now the emperor is still on his way back to Chang'an, and I don't know when he will be able to favor this lost top scholar.

Duan Mingyu lamented, but saw Xu Zuye rubbing his hands gently: "Hehe, Sister Zhao Niang, do you know a lot about the imperial examination?"

"I smiled so slutty, and I didn't have any good ideas at first glance." Then I said proudly: "I don't know what I don't know about the imperial examination. I knew when I was three years old."

Xu Zuye wiped his sweat. Does this girl have a grudge against me? It seems that she has not offended her, why do you mock yourself everywhere? I draw circles and curse you. Duan Mingyu can be the top scorer, why can't I? Forget it, don't worry about you like a little guy! After comforting his injured heart, Xu Zuye walked forward with a smile: "How to take this scientific exam? Is it difficult?"

"Ahem, do you want to go too?" Duan Mingyu was almost choked to death. As for such a rough man, he went to the scientific examination. In comparison, Duan Mingyu still thinks that sows are more reliable to climb trees.

Yang Yanguang and Duan Mingyu looked at each other suspiciously: "This person is not particular!"

After Yang Zhaoniang said intimidatingly, she said slowly: "The imperial examination is divided into four stages: Tongsheng examination, Provincial examination, Conscious examination and Palace examination. How to take the exam? Please ask the top scholar beside you."

Duan Mingyu laughed at Xu Zuye: "Old Xu, this time you have considered asking the right person. We all came here like this. First of all, the Tongsheng Examination is presided over by the academic officials or the local imperial examinations hosted by the academic officials of each province. The Tongsheng Examination is divided into three small stages, from low to high, namely the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination. After passing the three exams, you can enter the county, prefecture, and government study respectively. Only after passing the three exams are the Tongsheng Examination, the first place in the Tongsheng Examination is called the Case Head."

Xu Zuye smacked his lips: "It's so damn complicated. Fortunately, I didn't take the imperial examination in this Lao Shizi!"

Duan Mingyu snorted, and finally talked a lot, but was interrupted by Xu Zuye. It was really a very unpleasant thing: "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you making a fuss!"

Xu Zuye's face turned red, as if his daughter had been drinking for eighteen years.

Duan Mingyu was in a great mood when he saw Xu Zuye eating turtles: "After Tongsheng's examination, he can conduct the provincial examination. The provincial examination is held every three years in the provincial capitals of each province. Because the time is held in August of autumn, it is also called the "Autumn Examination". The examiner is appointed by the emperor. After the examination, the chief and deputy lists are released. The ones on the deputy list are all unqualified. The ones on the official list are what we often call Juren. The first place among Juren is called Jie Yuan. Juren has initially obtained the qualification to be an official. If you continue the examination, you have to go to the three-year examination held in the capital. The examination will be held in spring. Therefore,

It is also called the Spring Examination. Only the top 300 scholars are admitted in the imperial examination. The person who is admitted is called Gongshi, and the first one is called a member. The next is the highest part of the imperial examination - the Palace Examination. The palace examination is conducted by the emperor in the Golden Palace to personally question the tributes admitted in the imperial examination in the Golden Palace, and the ranking is ranked first. The admissions are divided into three, one and three, and the title is "Jinshi" and the first one is called the top scholar, also called Dingyuan, the second one is called the second one, and the third one is called Tanhua. The people who are admitted in the first, two, and three are called Jinshi. The successive number of Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and the top scholar are what we usually call "Three Yuans"."

There were so many twists and turns, and Xu Zuye felt a lot of groaning and his scalp began to numb. He thought that Duan Mingyu would write a few beautiful articles in advance and plagiarize them again. Oh, no, it was a reference. Yes, it would be rare to learn from dozens of ancient poems. At that time, it would be rare to not want to become famous. However, when he heard Duan Mingyu's words, Xu Zuye's face turned black and black, and it would be even longer than a horse's face.

Seeing Xu Zuye's depressed expression, Duan Mingyu gloated and patted Xu Zuye on the shoulder: "Brother Xu, look at the imperial examination, do you have the confidence to just make a top scholar in front of you? Let's share the benefits with the top scholar!"

"You are not deliberately spending me. If I take this old bone, I will not talk about whether I can get through the exam or not. Just for the past ten years of hard study, I will be exhausted from the selection process." Xu Zuye answered honestly, and at the same time handed you a look that is really not a human, and really powerful to Duan Mingyu.

Duan Mingyu despised this guy: If you have the ability, you can take the exam. Oh my god, I guess you don’t know what to mention, you think the top scorer is a cabbage! There are only 300 scholars in the country who can go and see the Golden Palace, and I am the only one of the top scorers. After ten years of hard work, it is many times more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations. It’s hype, the emperor is just hyping.

"To be honest with Brother Duan, although the imperial examination has given poor scholars a good platform, there are still only a handful of scholars born in poor families and officials in the court, and there are not even any. The national style is like this. If you want to get into the court, you still have to rely on..." After Yang Yanguang said that, he pointed to the sky understandingly, meaning "It's still someone above."

Yang Yanguang did not deceive Duan Mingyu. Most of the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were like this. A lonely man like Duan Mingyu actually passed the top scorer, which was really an anomaly among the odd numbers.

Duan Mingyu was like a balloon: "It's true that there is no chance to be an official!"

If you don’t become an official, how to protect yourself in the turbulent and restless late Tang Dynasty in the future is a question worth pondering.

For example, now, Duan Mingyu's business is also very worried. Because Bianliang City actually collects protection fees, the underworld of the Tang Dynasty was really rampant! This made Duan Mingyu feel speechless. The leader of the protection fees had a name that made people laugh bitterly - Zhang Baobao. Duan Mingyu jokingly called him "Zhang Baobao".

Zhang Baobao's name is cute, but the person is not so cute. The protection fee is very high, and it is almost half the profit of the businessman. How can it be for people to be affectionate? How can it be for people to be affectionate?

Duan Mingyu is not worried that he will collect protection fees, because every time Zhang Baobao comes to collect protection fees, Duan Mingyu and Xu Zuye will run away.

What Duan Mingyu is worried about is what to do if he can't escape. As the saying goes, if you walk for a long time, you will be caught at night. Maybe you will be caught one after another. The consequences...

Duan Mingyu took a deep breath, the baby was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. To get rid of this big trouble, it is definitely not possible to solve it by just escaping. You must start from the fundamentals, either killing him or sleeping with him.
