A month later, the first grand imperial examination of the Qin Dynasty was held in Xianyang City.

According to Hu Hai's idea, the imperial examination was just a foreplay of his drastic educational reform in Daqin.

But now he is anti-Wang Siqi, and he has no energy to reform from education.

Hu Hai had only one simple purpose in this imperial examination, which was to announce to the world that ordinary people would not have to rely on military merits to get promoted and make money and to win a wife and son.

This gives the common people a hope. With such hope, if the Qin Dynasty is unified again in the future, all the people will have the right demands for life, fewer and fewer people will take risks, and the society will become more and more stable.

At this moment, Hu Hai is in Wuxin Hall, Meng Yi, Li Si and Liu Mo are all there.

Shusun Tong and others sent the test papers that were considered excellent in this imperial examination to the Wuxin Hall.

Several civil officials from the Counselor's Office were spreading out the piles of papers and savoring them.

Li Si and Liu Mo were still in the mood to evaluate the test paper, and Meng Yi, who was standing by, looked at these things as boring.

He is now responsible for the supply of the Qin army. He is responsible for all rear dispatches.

Meng Yi is serious in his work and does everything himself. In the past six months, he has been exhausted and has lost weight. He looked like he was about 40 years old now.

He flipped through the file casually, but he was thinking about which Aocang was closer to that army and it was more convenient to mobilize military rations.

It is now late winter and early spring, are the soldiers' clothing and armor changed and replaced?

After flipping around, he saw a few square small characters written on a test paper: Soldiers are the most important weapons of the country, and baggages are the soul weapons of the soldiers.

The following comment is a brief discussion on the distribution of forces today, and a brief analysis of several armies of the Qin Dynasty. Then, from the perspective of supplies, the importance of military dispatch in the rear to victory in the war.

Among them, the transfer of grain and grass and the dispatch of commands were all very well-informed. Although there was a bit of a scholar who was stupid instructing the country, many of the views were recognized by Meng Yi.

"This person's test paper is really not boasting, but he is a talented person," Meng Yi took the test paper and stood up and sent it to Hu Hai's table.

Hu Hai picked up the paper, looked at the title, and then saw that there were two honest and square small characters written on the signature of the title: Fang Ru.

Seeing Fang Ru, Hu Hai couldn't help laughing. He read the test paper and asked someone to give it to Liu Mo. He said to Meng Yi: "Meng Aiqing, this review of the paper is boring. You should go and see if there is any military information report. Spring is here, and the Wei River and Huai River are all about to flood the Yellow River. Make preparations for flood prevention in advance. If you go and do your business, you have me and Li Si and Liu Mo, which is enough."

Meng Yi looked at Hu Hai with gratitude, responded, and left Wuxin Palace directly without hesitation.

Before leaving, he pointed to the paper he had just picked out and said, "Master, if this person is hired, he will definitely be distributed to the minister."

Hu Hai nodded with a smile. He was happy with a capable and sincere minister like Meng Yi.

Liu Mo finished reading Fang Ru's test paper with a glance, changed his usual laughter, and sent Fang Ru's test paper back to Hu Hai's table, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is really a must-see. I didn't expect that this corrupt scholar had a strategy, and some of the views were extremely exquisite even if he thought it was extremely exquisite."

Li Si just saw Fang Ru's paper, and nodded and said, "I have been the prime minister for many years and I know that Fang Ru's views in many places are correct. This is a character."

Both the Counselor's Mansion commented on Fang Ru like this, so Hu Hai naturally would not say much. In his opinion, although Fang Ru was a bit pedantic, there was really no shortage of such people in the court.

He is like Wei Zheng beside Li Shimin, conscientious and pedantic and cute.

"I also have a paper here, which was selected by Fu Wan. Take a look." As he said that, Hu Hai handed Fang Wei's paper to the two of them.

When Liu Mo saw Fang Wei's name, he smiled and said, "Fang Wei, this person is radical. I didn't expect that Lao Fuwan could actually like his test paper. It's not easy!"

After Li Si held Fang Wei's paper and shook his head and read the beginning, he shut up and read it seriously.

After a long time, Li Si raised his hands and smiled, "Your Majesty, I want to say that Fang Wei and Fang Ru are really a pair of wonderful people. One of them discusses the baggage in the rear and the other discusses the military situation in the front. The feelings of this marching and war were all taken care of by their Fang family."

The emperor and his ministers laughed loudly, and it is tentative that Fang Ru and Fang Wei both entered the palace examination. Once they pass the palace examination and meet the emperor, they can confirm the third class.

In fact, the test papers selected by Fu Wan and others today are all famous figures on the list. However, Hu Hai has to make the decision in the order.

Soon, this high school imperial examination list was released.

There are lists posted in every place in Xianyang City, and the soldiers are waiting.

On the day the results were released, Fang Ru hid in a small restaurant, pouring himself and drinking, tears flowing all over her.

Some unknown people next to him looked like he was crazy, and someone asked the waiter quietly.

The waiter gurgled and said, "This man is called Fang Ru, a famous scholar in Xianyang City. Unfortunately, he contradicted the emperor at the Taixue Pavilion a few days ago. Although he went to take the imperial examination with his teeth, he probably had no chance. He came to drink every day these days, and sometimes he forgot to bring the money for the wine. If my boss had not pity him, he would have driven him out long ago..."

Some scholars who were originally familiar with Fang Ru heard that he contradicted the emperor. When they saw that he was now in a down-and-out manner, they all avoided Fang Ru from afar, fearing that bad luck would spread to them.

"Looking at his stupid and pedantic look, no wonder he offended the current emperor regardless of importance. In my opinion, there will be no chance in this life."

"Brother, you and I were also someone who were advised by Fang Ru at the beginning. It's better to go over and chat with him to relieve my boredom."

"You are stupid. Now, if the emperor in the court knows, you will not win even if you win. Do you understand?"

"Ah, why didn't I think of this level? Then forget it, I don't want to be unlucky with him."

This kind of argument will be staged every day since Fang Ru left the examination room.

He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar figures in the restaurant, his eyelids drooped slightly, sighed, and drank it all again.

"I said to Brother Fang, I miss you, you were handsome and handsome, and you were inspiring to write. Where is your courage now?" A man who looked like a lazy young man came over.

Fang Ru looked at him and knew that this person was a wealthy young man in Xianyang. He was involved in the circle of literati every day and regarded himself as a literati.

The upright Fang Ru simply couldn't stand him a playboy who pretended to be a bachelor's degree. He had ridiculed him several times.

Now that he is in a down-and-out position, it is normal for this rich young man to come up and step on his feet immediately. Thinking of this, Fang Ru had no other way to deal with it except to secretly sigh at the coldness of the world.

Just when the rich young man was still about to step on Fang Ru, suddenly there were hurried footsteps coming from outside.

"Fang Ru, is Teacher Fang Ru here?"

"Is Mr. Fang Ru here?"

"Mr. Fang is drinking here, and this store will become popular in the future!"

Noisy sounds came, and suddenly a group of people dressed in literati rushed in from outside, all of whom were young people from the Confucian school.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Fang Ru drinking, and the rich young man was arrogant in front of him.
