Cai Bian responded and interrupted Zhang Dun who was about to open his mouth again, saying, "Yes. I also think so. I will go to Dali Temple later to see what they think, and then report back to the official family..."

Zhang Dun glanced at Cai Bian and did not continue to speak.

Zhang Dun was obviously a little anxious.

With the "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot" winning phased victory and seeing hope, Zhang Dun had some eager hopes to continue to spread and implement more "new laws".

Zhao Xu naturally would not agree with this.

In addition to the fact that reforms are too fast and can easily backfire, the pace of the "new law" must also be slightly slower than the "military reform"! To ensure that the chaos caused by the "new law" can be effectively suppressed by the army, and will not threaten the stability of the country or the chair under his butt.

The "military reform" in various fields in the north is in full swing, while the south is just preparing for it with a brief taste.

Zhao Xu suppressed Zhang Dun and began to talk about other things.

Especially for the talents emerging in the "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot Project", Zhao Xu focused on the names of several people.

Zhang Dun and Cai Bian naturally understood that they were both eager for talents and expressed their opinions.

When they were discussing here, the Gongyuan was the busiest place.

The exam tomorrow is, and a lot of people are waiting outside the Gongyuan Gate.

Not only the candidates who took the exam, but also many family members accompanied them. Every household was even more nervous than the candidates themselves, and they kept giving instructions on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In the Gongyuan, Li Qingchen, Shen Kuo were all there, as well as officials at all levels, making final preparations.

The imperial guards are lined up on all roads in the Gongyuan.

Many people regard this examination as the "Yuanyou First Examination" or "Enke", and prepare very seriously.

In an examination room in the Gongyuan, Zhao Ji was bored and wrote and painted inside, looking outside from time to time.

He had never thought about it and had never tried to escape, but with officials from the Ministry of Rites and the guards outside, he was not allowed to go out at all.

"Hmph, I'll be in the first class and I'll scare you to death!"

Zhao Ji stood on the stool, holding a pen, and hummed with dissatisfaction.

The next morning, the Gongyuan opened the door on time, and the envoys rushed forward.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites checked their identities and were extremely cautious and put them in slowly.

"Son, don't worry, it doesn't matter whether you do well in the exam or not..." A middle-aged woman pulled a young man in her early twenties and told her thousands of instructions.

Another seemingly majestic middle-aged man snorted and said, "I've entered the market, I'll say something, wait for the results to be released. If he fails, I'll break his leg!"

The young man's face turned pale in fright.

The woman let go reluctantly and watched the young man enter the venue.

A woman with thick makeup and dressed clothes said to a young man with a diligent and flattering look on her face: "Sanlang, take a good exam. If you pass the Jinshi, I will be able to raise my head in the mansion and anger that bastard woman to death..."

The young man's expression moved and he nodded stiffly.

Next to them, there was a large group of people.

One of the women was nervous and pulled the young man in his twenties and said, "Jibo, don't worry, you have a mother here, it doesn't matter if you can't do well in the exam. Anyway, your uncle is an official in the court, so we have opportunities, ah, don't be nervous, ah..."

The young man smiled slightly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be in high school this time, so I will earn some face for my mother!"

The woman was extremely happy and almost cried. She wiped her tears with her hand towel, and then said quickly: "It's okay, as long as you are well, don't be nervous, don't be nervous..."

Not far away, there was a middle-aged man with a stern face, sitting in the carriage, looking at the young man below, and said lightly: "If you miss this time, don't come back."

The young man was in pain in his face, but he raised his hand and said, "Yes."

The middle-aged man put down the curtain and said, "Go."

The young man watched his father's carriage with his expression becoming more and more painful.

Inside the gate of the Gongyuan, Li Qingchen and Shen Kuo stood, watching the crowd outside and the scholars coming in one after another.

Shen Kuo looked at the various things in front of him, shook his head and said with emotion: "I'm old, I seem to remember that our family was like this back then. By the way, when the results were released, many people pulled me and wanted to marry me, haha..."

Once you pass the Jinshi, not only will you achieve success and have a bright future, but it will also mean that your family status will be greatly improved and will reach a new level.

Li Qingchen got married early and won the post later. Without Shen Kuo's feelings, he knew in his heart that he could gain a foothold in the Han family, which was the case after he passed the post of the Jinshi.

Seeing that more and more people came in, Shen Kuo suddenly said, "Who do you think will be the top three this year?"

Before the Jinshi, there were basically all the reputations that should have, and few dark horses appeared.

For example, in the second year of Jiayou, Su Shi, Zeng Gong and others had already spread their reputations throughout the world before taking the exam. The examiners could basically judge the top ten in the first and second grades. There was not much difference, but the difference was the specific ranking.

Li Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Bi Jian, Zhao should be able to enter the first class without any surprise. During the palace examination, let's see how they perform."

Shen Kuo nodded and said, "The palace examination is probably the main test of the new law. I hope they don't do anything randomly."

There have been many troubles in the palace examination. The most recent time was Zong Ze, who was in the sixth year of Yuanyou. When the "old party" controlled the government, he criticized officials for being corruption and accused Lu Dafang and others of completely abolishing the "new law". In the end, it was not only the top scholar, but also the third and second scholars were gone, so he had to get the last one. If it weren't for the palace examination, I'm afraid that the Jinshi would be gone!
