Therefore, on the day of the exam, almost every family started to make firecrackers.

This firecracker is gradually becoming popular now.

People found this thing very festive, and the Erpigou Firecracker Workshop was also very effective in promoting it.

In fact, it is mainly thanks to the distribution system established by selling salt.

Many merchants are dealers of Erpigou. Any new things that Erpigou will be sold by tying and selling them to promote them.

For example, if you want to buy salt, you can! White salt is profitable and you don’t have to worry about sales. Selling it to you is equivalent to giving you money, but don’t worry about it. If you buy ten kilograms of salt, you have to sell a few firecrackers. The more salt you buy, the more firecrackers you sell.

The merchants got salt and even got a batch of firecrackers. They couldn't rot in their hands, right?

Therefore, in order to sell firecrackers for profit, they will do their best to sell and sell firecrackers!

When merchants are selling, the guys below have to try their best to sell. There is nothing that cannot be done in this world when it comes to profitable things.

Sure enough... the whole of Guanzhong has the habit of setting off firecrackers during the New Year.

Now almost all the families who are starting the exam have set off firecrackers. While laying the firecrackers from Erpigou, the family members are reminding their children who are going to take the exam to be beaten the students in Erpigou University to look for teeth.

The contradiction is now open.

After all, many scholars were beaten by Erpigou students. After that day, almost every family was wailing, and this was a foregone conclusion.

Since you can't be beaten back, you can only see the truth in the exam room!

Wu Youjing's injuries had healed. On this day, he arrived at the tribute court at the third day.

When the dawn was revealed, many scholars arrived at the tribute court either alone, with servants, or with their families, with their morning breeze.

When people saw Wu Youjing, they immediately showed joy.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu was injured and even came here to send everyone to the entrance exam.

Many people came forward to greet each other with great encouragement.

Wu Youjing only smiled and nodded. At this time, he regained his calmness and calmness of Mount Tai collapsed before him. Although some of the bruises on his face that had not yet receded, they always gave people a sense of funnyness.

Wu Youjing said to the person with a gentle smile: "You have done all your homework, and you have done a lot of articles on weekdays. The articles are very refined. I have confidence in you this time."

Everyone said respectfully that they didn't dare.

Of course, scholars should be humble, even if they think that I am the best in the world in their hearts, they think that if Hui Yuan, who is the top leader, is not himself, he will be blinded by the examiner, but on the surface, he should still have a humble attitude.

Wu Youjing looked at them with relief and continued, "Don't be nervous. The examiner this time is still the Grand Secretary of Yu Shinan. Mr. Yu is an old friend of me. He is certainly a very upright person and will never be favored. But I know a little about his temperament. A few days ago, I asked you to write a few articles and provide guidance. In fact, it also means that you can join the love of Mr. Yu."

This is quite suggestive.

After all, there is no standard for the article, unless the gap between them is too big. If the level of this article is similar, it depends on the style of different examiners.

After hearing this, everyone became more confident, so they bowed again.

Immediately, the scholars waited outside the tribute courtyard to open the door.

After a while, the singing sounded from afar.

A group of students from Erpigou University sang loudly and came in uniform.

These people wore the same scarf and the same Confucian robe, and were lined up in a team, like a troop, singing together, which was very imposing.

This made everyone else frown.

Someone said with contempt, "Is this going to be an actor?"

Someone said disdainfully: "I always know how to make these fancy things."

The meaning in those eyes is obvious, but the students obviously don't care. After all, once a person is integrated into a certain environment, many things that seem unreasonable to outsiders also feel are reasonable.

What's more, in the early morning, the students jogged and sang in the morning. Although they delayed their study time, many people found that their whole day had become energetic, not as depressed as many people who read school all day long.

The young and handsome Chen Zhengtai came on a tall horse, looking arrogant!

When everyone saw him, they all avoided him. Although this guy had been beaten to death hundreds of times in the mouths of scholars on weekdays, when they actually saw this guy, they still felt numb when they thought of what happened in the Xueershu Store last time, and they couldn't help but feel timid.

Chen Zhengtai sat down on the horse. When he saw Wu Youjing, he actually greeted Wu Youjing: "Mr. Wu, we are meeting again."

Wu Youjing immediately turned his face away, and he had the courage to be incompatible with the traitors.

Chen Zhengtai was polite, obviously he had already stopped. Then he turned his head slightly and shouted to the students: "Today's big test, do you have confidence?"

The students raised their faces, raised their heads and said excitedly: "Yes."

This sound is even more powerful!

At this time, Chen Zhengtai said again: "How about you not doing well in the exam?"

"I will see Master again without any face."

"Test hard and don't give these scumbags a chance." Chen Zhengtai was sarcastic and looked at Wu Youjing at the same time!

The sentient beings are now full of energy. They ran all the way all the way. After entering the city, they were inconvenient to run away, so they walked in line and sang along the way. Now they are full of energy.

From the perspective of the bystanders, these students looked like a group of clowns, all looking disdainful.

At this moment, the door of the Gongyuan finally opened, and the scholars and students did not hesitate and entered one after another.

The population outside the tribute court began to become scarce, but behind Chen Zhengtai, there was Xue Rengui, so he was not worried about being ambushed, but he hit Wu Youjing: "Have Mr. Wu's injury healed?"

"What do you have to do with you?" Wu Youjing looked at Chen Zhengtai with gritted teeth.

His kindness will only show signs of cracking when facing Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai said with an incredible look on his face: "This is my personal injury, why has nothing to do with me? What you said is unreasonable."

This is a bit like calling him an idiot!

Wu Youjing: “…”

Wu Youjing's face turned a little darker again!

"I heard that Mr. Wu was also asking someone to recite the Four Books and Five Classics on Chengday, and even asked someone to write articles?" Chen Zhengtai laughed and said, "It seems that we are using the method of our university."

Actually, this is the truth.

The University Hall has proved that this rote memorization method is useful, so... although everyone talks about the University Hall, there are many people who secretly learn.

The same is true for Wu Youjing.

He is still very confident in the scholars.

In his opinion, the scholars have a deep foundation because of their family background. Moreover, they have always advocated bloodlines. Except for the students of Erpigou University, most of the scholars who can become scholars are children of aristocratic races!

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the aristocratic races regarded themselves very high, and they thought they were noble, so most of them believed that the places where most of the poor children in Erpigou University were able to shine because of rote memorization. However, these people were essentially just opportunistic and a group of dull people, but they luckily took advantage of the loopholes in the imperial examination.

Therefore, they believed confidently that if the methods of the university were used on them, they would definitely be much better than the untouchables in the university.

So Wu Youjing was surprisingly calm about Chen Zhengtai's obvious sarcasm and said, "Preparation for the exam is just a skill. You Chen Zhan can use it. Why not if others use it? This is just a trick. Since you can help others to be on the list, what's wrong if you use it?"

Chen Zhengtai felt that this guy was so shameless that he was both noble and plagiarized!

But when you think about it carefully, aren’t there many such people in the world?

Pretending to behave is one thing, and making a living is the same thing.

Chen Zhengtai is not a person who likes to be entangled. He suddenly felt relieved, so he smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see, be careful not to add new injuries."

This smile, coupled with this sentence, means a little different...

"You dare to threaten me..."

Wu Youjing was obviously angry again and was about to scold her, but Chen Zhengtai was already taking Xue Rengui with him and ignored him and rode his horse and walked away directly.

…………

In the Minglun Hall of the Gongyuan.

As the chief examiner of this major exam, Yu Shinan seems very energetic today.

As a Grand Secretary, His Majesty ordered him as the main examination this time, which made Yu Shinan quite satisfied.

Yu Shinan is a relatively indifferent person. He does not like fighting for power and profit in the court. He likes to interact with some literati and scholars. He reads books when he is free in his daily life. Such things are just his taste.

At this time, he was sitting in the main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, while his eyes were slightly closed, and his fingers gently tapped the desk, looking like an old god.

The other examiners were also highly positioned and powerful, and they sat on both sides.

The project is about to begin.

Therefore, a chief examiner smiled and said, "The officials are also looking forward to it at this time. I wonder what questions Mr. Yu asked this time?"

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

In fact, the exam question was given by the examiner, and the question was issued early and then sealed up, even the emperor could not know it in advance!

When Yu Shinan asked the question, he had to be confined to the court alone for a period of time to show his fairness and prevent the question from being leaked.

It can be said that before the topic was released today, no one in the world knew what the topic was except him.

But when the examiner asked, Yu Shinan showed a leisurely expression, smiled on his lips, and said, "I have also worked hard to set the questions. After all, this is not a provincial exam, but a provincial exam! The provincial exam is a big exam, and all those who can get into the exam are scholars! These people have ink in their stomachs. If the questions are too easy, it is difficult to find out the real talent. For this question, I have racked my brains, but it has taken a lot of effort."

Everyone laughed again, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Who is Yu Shinan? This is the Grand Secretary who is as famous as Fang Xuanling!
