Through the imperial examination, we complete the leap from white to official body, complete the turning point of fate, enter the court, face the emperor, and express our own views on the general trend of the world.

This is a scene that countless people can’t dream of, and the people who can dream of it are because Guo gave them enlightenment and opportunities.

This opportunity is really important to them.

Therefore, even if many people don’t know what the exam content is, they will go to Luoyang to sign up for the exam.

You don’t need to recommend this or have a higher level relationship. You can take the official selection exam as long as you have a household registration.

The common people in Luoyang watched this scene with eager eyes, and looked at the students who were about to take the imperial examination and were very envious of them.

They also wanted to find an opportunity to send their children to study, but they didn't know what ways to send their children to Imperial College or other schools to study.

They were very anxious, envious, and even a little jealous.

There is no chance, no way.

They still need to wait, many things cannot be accomplished overnight, and Mr. Guo has not had time to set up a ladder for the lower-level people from the education level.

What he needs to do now is to make the imperial examination deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that this imperial examination system that eliminates the influence of the imperial examination system will be rooted in the Wei Empire and will never be shaken again.

After the tense and exciting first month, at the end of February, the weather became warmer, and the qualification certification exam before the Wenju exam was held was the first to start.

All students who sign up for the Wenju exam must undergo this physical fitness exam.

The examiner is Guo Jia, a strong man who insists on adding this project. He led the crowd to preside over the exam with a happy face and set many standards.

Running laps, long jumps, high jumps, load-bearing, etc.

When Guo Peng saw these standards he set, he was surprised. He felt that Guo Jia must have been forced by him to practice muscles and strengthen his physique for many years, so he came up with these ways to torture the candidates.

But this is indeed very necessary.

Guo Peng cut some meaningless content, lowered some standards, and took care of the children of ordinary people who were really poor in physical strength due to insufficient nutrition.

Then, Guo Jia happily watched the students running, jumping far away, lying on the ground with sweat and heavy clothes, looking at them like dogs, and commenting while watching, saying that this class of candidates is really useless.

Mr. Guo must clarify that Guo Jia has never been a good person.

He has all the five poisons and is talented, and his personality is extremely bad.

No one will be surprised or disagree with this.

And his bad character and bad taste were fully demonstrated in this exam.

In addition, Guo Jia also applied to Guo Peng for the invigilator for the physical fitness exam before the next imperial examination.

Of course Guo Peng agreed. If a guy like Guo Jia, who has a bad personality and likes to torture young people, helps him watch this assessment, the average physical fitness of the officials of the Wei Empire will definitely improve greatly in the future.

Not only that, Mr. Guo also had the idea of ​​holding an official sports meeting within the scope of all officials in the future.

Maybe it looks very good.

For example, around Guo’s birthday, he chose to hold an official sports meeting in Luoyang for three days, forcing officials who usually sit on their desks like big men to get up and exercise, run and jump, and get rewards when getting good rankings, but if you can’t get good rankings, you won’t have rewards.

This idea took root in Mr. Guo's heart.

Of course, the students were dissatisfied with the fact that they had to take the physical fitness assessment before the exam. They learned from various channels that the proposer of this pre-examination was proposed by Guo Fengxiao, a senior official of the Staff Office, a son of the royal family and the most trusted right-hand man of His Majesty the Emperor. They immediately shut up.

Some people just wanted to scold, but immediately shut up.

What a joke, I'm confronting the emperor's confidant and don't want to live anymore?

When Guo Jia appeared in the exam room with a happy face and a powerful look, countless students scolded Guo Jia for being inhuman, but they still had to run and jump under his leadership, and then gasped like a dog when they were tired.

It seems that Guo Jia likes this kind of thing very much.

In the end, he did select candidates who could take the imperial examination, and he really eliminated a group of weak people.

Among them are scholars, children from poor families and children of common people.

Whether it is subjective malice or objective demand, these people are indeed unable to undertake the heavy work after becoming officials.

So Guo Peng strongly supported Guo Jia's choice.

On the first day of March of the eighth year of Yande, when the Battle of Nanzhong was in progress, the first imperial examination of the Wei Empire officially began.

According to the statistical report, the number of applicants to take the Wenju Examination this year reached 6,971, which is six times that of the talent ceremony that year.

The number of people taking the martial arts examination was one order of magnitude less, with only 2,737 people.

There is no way. Compared with the literary exam, the martial arts exam has higher requirements and higher entry thresholds. It requires not only cultural literacy, but also physical fitness. Those who can participate are already very excellent elites.

The coverage of the Wenju Examination is wider and there are more people participating. This is not enough to include those students who have not had time to come and take the initiative to give up the first imperial examination because of the long journey.

Such a grand occasion was unexpected by most officials in the court.

They never expected that once the identity restrictions were lifted, poor scholars and common people could burst out with such great power.

It is conceivable that the number of participants in the second imperial examination next year will rise significantly.

With so many participants, the number of selected people is relatively small.

According to the current preliminary estimate, the two civil and military candidates in this imperial examination will be admitted in total, with a little more people being admitted, with a little less people being admitted, with a little less people being admitted, with a little less people being admitted.

Despite this, the competition for the Wenju exam is far stronger than the Wuju exam, after all, the number of participants is not the same level of magnitude.

So someone planned to apply for the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall by relying on their own knowledge to learn, and they could also take advantage of this loophole in the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall.

Everyone knows this kind of thing, and what everyone knows in front of everyone is obviously the kind of thing that cannot take advantage of loopholes.

After the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall expands its students, the number of applicants will change significantly at most three years, and the competitiveness of the martial arts examination will be as strong as that time.

Not to mention that there are many retired veterans who want to re-enter the army.

It's not that easy.

To be honest, the difficulty of the martial arts exam is even higher than that of the literary exam.

Not only should one take exams for personal force, battlefield cooperation, and military common sense, but also cultural knowledge.

As the saying goes, both civil and military, grasp both hands and both hands must be strong.
