The selection of scholars through the imperial examination was also a major event in the Han Dynasty.

After all, it is a new thing, only started a few years ago.

In the past few years, it was the wealthy scholars who took advantage.

Even now, it is still those scholars with family background who occupy the majority.

Only with the passage of time, scholars from poor families gradually came to the stage of the imperial examination.

But even so, the proportion of people is very small.

Nowadays, the difficulty of the imperial examination is actually not very high, because those who can participate in the imperial examination have only one way to go.

That is Luoyang Academy.

And Luoyang Academy is currently the highest academic institution in the entire Han Dynasty. Students from all over the country are trying to squeeze in here.

However, there are only so many places, and as the number of applicants increases, the admission requirements become more and more stringent.

Except for some people who can stably enter, there are even fewer places left for outsiders.

The admission process is based on merit. As long as you study well during school, it is basically not difficult to pass the imperial examination.

So, don’t always think that the imperial examination is difficult.

In the current environment, the court is not allowed to set subjects that are too difficult.

Moreover, the imperial court followed a specialized and professional route, which was completely different from the previous model where as long as you passed the exam, you could go to any department.

Although the imperial examinations in later generations were also divided into many subjects, overall, the professionalism was not as strong as imagined.

Wang Daniu followed the team and formed a long queue in front of Luoyang Academy early.

In the past, no matter what your status was, you had to queue up here conscientiously today.

It is forbidden to talk around, and it is forbidden to jump in line and cause trouble.

Many people have discovered a problem, that is, the number of security guards seems to have increased a lot today.

Soon, as the people in front passed the inspection and entered the academy, it was Wang Daniu's turn to undergo the inspection.

"Professional level!" The official in charge of registration glanced at Wang Daniu, spoke a little faster, and asked slightly coldly.

"Fu San Jinshi!" Wang Daniu honestly reported his level and major without saying any nonsense.

These have been explained countless times in school. There are too many people that day and time must be saved.

So just say whatever they ask you, even including a few words. The school has specifically instructed you to do so.

If one person saves five seconds, a thousand people save 5,000 seconds, which adds up to a saving of more than an hour.

Fusan is the third re-examination. Jinshi is naturally a major, and Jinshi subjects train officials who are serious and responsible for administration.

Although other subjects may pop up in the future, it requires opportunities.

As soon as those who follow the scholar's major enter the officialdom, they are trained towards the main official direction. Compared with the scholar's major in terms of professional abilities, the gap in other subjects is not small.

The official directly pulled out the list of Fusan Jinshi in front of him: "Name! Place of origin! Age!"

"Wang Daniu, Xingyang, twenty-four years old!" Wang Daniu continued to speak honestly, looking slightly nervous.

This is the third time that I have participated in the imperial examination in name, but in fact it is the first time.

Being able to stand here without any illness or disaster, Wang Daniu felt that he should be able to pass the exam this time.

When the officials found Wang Daniu's records, they couldn't help but take a second look at Wang Daniu.

Secretly, this is really a fairy...

"Wang Daniu, a native of Xingyang, is twenty-four years old. He missed the exam on the tenth day of June in the sixth year of Jianyuan. He missed the exam on the tenth day of June in the seventh year of Jianyuan. He registered for the third time on the tenth day of June in the eighth year of Jianyuan. He is seven feet, two and a half inches tall!

"

The official began to recite, and the official who had been prepared at the side took a standard ruler and began to verify Wang Daniu's identity.

"The body is seven feet two and a half inches long!" The ruler is a hard ruler, which is a piece of wood with scales drawn on it, and a ring of wooden bars is placed to form a ninety-degree angle, similar to the ones in later generations.

Seven feet two and a half inches, which is about 1.66 meters and less than 1.67 meters. This height is already on the high side for a big man.

Of course, the terracotta warriors and horses are said to be 1.8 meters tall, including the base below. In fact, they are not that tall.

"Slender body, dark complexion, moles on the face, more on the left than on the right, and a birthmark on the inner joint of the left arm, the size of a little finger, dark red in color..." the official continued to read.

Body shape, skin color, these can be seen at a glance without checking.

There was a mole on Wang Daniu's face. The official in charge of the inspection reached out and dipped his hand in the basin next to him. Then he rubbed the mole on Wang Daniu's face vigorously to prevent it from being fake.

Then he asked Wang Daniu to pull open his left sleeve to reveal the birthmark.

It was the size of a little finger and dark red in color. It was still rubbed vigorously and there was no change in the birthmark.

Once here, the identity verification process is completed.

The process of verifying one's identity is different for different people. The big man is quite humane in this regard.

When making statistics, we record the characteristics of each person, and we will not record only one characteristic. Only when several characteristics match, then it means it is the person.

If there is nothing particularly obvious and easy to identify on your body, then you have to determine it from the details.

In this system, it is very difficult to cheat.

"Go back!" After verifying his identity, the official wrote the word "check" behind Wang Daniu, and then prepared to check the next person.

Wang Daniu followed the instructions and came to a tent at the back.

After entering the tent, the examination basket is handed over to the officials for inspection. You need to take off all your clothes and untie the hairpin.

Then a group of people began to look through the test basket back and forth, checking Wang Daniu's clothes and body to confirm that there were no cheating items.

After doing this, this is the first step of entry.

Dressed neatly, carrying the test basket, we entered the gate of the academy. Behind us was a square with many signs listed on it.

Wang Daniu found the Jinshi sign, and then queued up behind him obediently.

When there were almost twenty people, two officials came over with five forbidden soldiers and brought their group into the examination room.

No one knows where they will take the exam until they sit down.

Not even the person who assigned you a seat knows, because everything is random.

From the moment the examinee identifies himself to the moment he leaves the examination room, who is responsible for every process is clearly recorded. Once a problem arises, none of these people can escape.

Even the officials and the Imperial Guards responsible for allocating examination rooms signed their signatures with the on-site officials before taking them away.

After all the strange twists and turns, I finally arrived at the examination room. Of course, I didn’t just shove everyone in and that was it.

Keep walking forward in the corridor. No matter where you go, there will be at least five imperial guards and patrolling officials who can see what you are doing.

Every time they passed a classroom, the officials would let one person in. The twenty of them were arranged into twenty classrooms respectively.

Since it was his first time to participate, Wang Daniu was extremely nervous at this moment.

There were two officials in the examination room, who registered Wang Daniu's information and then arranged a seat for him.

There are only five positions in a classroom, one at the four corners and one in the middle, with everyone separated by at least five meters.

Do you think this is the end?

Far from it!

Wang Daniu had only heard people say that the imperial examination examination room was very strict, but after coming here today, he realized that it was more than strict. People with poor psychological quality would not be able to survive this test at all.

There are four walls between the four corners of the five people, not to mention one in the middle. There are two invigilators sitting on one wall, and a guard standing on each of the remaining three walls. In total, one person is staring at one candidate.

Look, want to cheat? Go ahead, Shi Xiang...

Moreover, the door of the classroom cannot be closed, and there are forbidden troops standing guard outside, patrolling, and various invigilators and inspections...

This level of severity has long exceeded their understanding.

And don’t expect to cheat by looking at other candidates in the examination room.

It is simply impossible. There are five candidates in one examination room, each belonging to five different majors. In other words, the examination questions are completely different. What should you copy for cheating?

Can someone outside your major understand the knowledge that you don’t understand in your own major?
