The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 159

Luoyang City, the surrounding counties and counties gathered talents in Luoyang, with as many as a thousand people.There is a shortage of talents everywhere, and there is an urgent need for officials to operate, so Liu Bian waved his hand and immediately ordered the imperial examination to start.

It was late May at this time, and the weather was clear and the wind was gentle.

On the school grounds of the Luoyang military camp, there are more than a thousand tables and tables, on which pens, inks, papers and inkstones are fully placed.

Papermaking has been around for a long time, but the paper is so rough and expensive that it cannot be used at all.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun improved the papermaking technique, and made paper with bark and other materials. There were some improvements in quality, but it was not widely popularized, but it gradually began to replace bamboo slips.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the society was dark, and papermaking did not develop much. It was the Sui and Tang Dynasties when it really became popular.

Liu Bian considered that if bamboo slips were used for the imperial examination, a large amount of bamboo slips would be consumed, and marking would be time-consuming and laborious.It would be too wasteful to use cloth.

But the paper at this time cannot be mass-produced, and the quality is not good, so Liu Bian gritted his teeth and spent [-] credits in the system mall to purchase the production method of Xuan paper.

So Liu Bian made another great invention after Hanshu and Modao. After Cai Lun, he improved papermaking technology again, making paper really popular on a large scale.

Therefore, in the evaluation of Liu Bian by later generations, after the great statesman and great military strategist, he has added the honorable title of a great inventor.

For Liu Bian's wisdom, all the civil and military people were no strangers to it. After Liu Bian showed his papermaking skills, Cai Yong and other civil officials hurriedly called the newly recruited craftsmen to start papermaking.

Sure enough, Liu Bian's papermaking technique can produce exquisite rice paper with only bark and other materials.This rice paper is not only extremely white, but also moderately thick, and exudes a fragrance of grass and trees.

"If you can use this rice paper to make books, how wonderful it would be? This fragrance, reading books, should be refreshing!" Cai Yong said excitedly while holding the rice paper.

Liu Bian's expression changed, that's right, now that there is rice paper, when the time comes to buy printing, books will not only be owned by the aristocratic family, but the cultural monopoly will also come to an end.

"Hey, copying books will take time and effort, and I'm afraid it won't be popularized!" Ding Guan shook his head and said.

Liu Bian smiled inexplicably and said, "Don't worry, both of you, I'm afraid paper books will be able to replace simple books in the near future. After talking with you, I have thought of a way to make books quickly!"

As soon as the rice paper came out, Liu Bian immediately used it for the imperial examination.

On the ground of the Luoyang Military Academy, more than a thousand students stood, each student holding a number plate with his own name and a number assigned in advance.What is used is the Chinese number created by Liu Bian.

Each student was supervised by the army and lined up in a long queue.

Xun You is equivalent to an invigilator, standing in front of the long line to check his identity.

"Number one Zhang Yi, one district one number!"

"Thank you, Lord Xun!" In the first row of the line, a young man in white saluted Xun You respectfully, and walked into the first seat in District [-].

Xun You nodded and continued: "No. [-] Shen Feng, No. [-] seat in the first district!"

"No. [-] Wu Wei, Block No. [-] in District One!"

"..."

"No. 430 No. 32, Guo Jia, Block [-], District [-]!" Xun You read the name with a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you, Lord Xun You!" A clear voice sounded, but there was not much respect in the words, and there seemed to be a bit of teasing in them.

Guo Jia was dressed in rough black clothes. He was about 20 years old, with a light beard on his lips. His clothes were very neat, but he smelled of alcohol.His appearance was delicate and handsome, his eyes were extremely bright and wise, but the skin on his face was slightly pale.

"Ahem!" Guo Jia coughed lightly.

"Come in!" Xun You's eyes showed a sense of hatred for iron.

Although Guo Jia is extremely intelligent, his behavior is frivolous, his constitution is weak, but he is fond of drinking and sex.

The students and soldiers behind them all looked at Guo Jia's drunken look with contempt in their eyes.

Guo Jia didn't take it seriously, and strode into the examination room with his number plate in his hand.

"No. 562, Yu Yunwen, Block 62, District [-]!"

"Thank you, Master Xun You!" Yu Yunwen was a young man in his 25s, tall and straight, dressed in Tsing Yi, quite elegant.He saluted Xun You respectfully, and then walked into the examination room.

Xun You nodded in satisfaction. Among wise men, they have the ability to know people. When Xun You saw Yu Yunwen's appearance, ecology, movements, and whether his words were appropriate, he knew that this person's talent was by no means inferior to his own.

"It seems that Feng Xiao has met his opponent. It would be better if he behaved more solemnly. I'm afraid His Majesty himself, Mr. Cai, and the others will not like his behavior like this!" Xun You sighed inwardly.

"No. 7 and No. [-], Block No. [-] in District [-]!"

"No. 24, Block 120, [-], District [-]!"

More than 1000 talents entered the examination room one after another. Xun You took a sip of the water handed by his attendant to moisten his hoarse voice, and walked into the examination room.

For this imperial examination, the prison examiners were Ding Guan, Cai Yong, Xun You, and Xun You's uncle and nephew to assist.

Cai Yong and Ding Guan, among other things, are rigid, but Liu Bian admires their integrity, and Liu Bian is completely at ease when they are used to invigilate the exam.

More than 1000 students were seated, and the Han army officers and soldiers distributed the examination papers on the table. This examination paper was compiled in advance by Liu Bian, Cai Yong, Ding Guan, and others, and even Xun You and others did not know the content.

The exam time is divided into two days. The first day is the basic skills such as Mo Yi, post scriptures, clear calculations, etc., and the second day is quizzes, poetry and fu.

The examination papers were compiled in advance, written by Cai Yongding Guan, and the examination papers were handed out, along with neat rice paper for answering the questions.

What surprised the other students was not the examination paper, but the rice paper. The pure white rice paper and the fragrance from it, the students couldn't put it down immediately, looking left and right.

"Interesting, first it was the whimsical imperial examination, and now it is this rice paper. It seems that His Majesty really has the confidence to fight against the family? This trip is worthwhile!" Guo Jia murmured with bright eyes.

When Yu Yunwen saw the rice paper, he also had surprise in his eyes, but he was a steady person, and after the surprise, he began to study ink to answer the questions.Cai Yong, who turned into a modern invigilator wandering around, nodded in admiration.

After a burst of admiration, everyone took up their pens to answer the questions.

Mo Yi, Tie Jing, etc. cover a wide range, and their topics come from various classics, some are the Analects of Confucius, some are Han Feizi, and some are even Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Fortunately, the children of the aristocratic family have a large collection of books at home, and many questions can be answered although the scope is wide.It's just that some people's memory and comprehension skills are not good. Although they can answer, there are many mistakes and their understanding of the meaning is wrong.

As for the children of poor families, there are not many books that can be accessed, and Cai Yong's family has a large collection of books, and many of the topics they have written are unheard of by many people.Many children from poor families scratched their heads and scratched their heads anxiously, not knowing where to start.

And Yu Yunwen was also from a poor family, and there was a topic that Yu Yunwen had never seen before.But Yu Yunwen was not in a hurry, first he finished writing other serious topics seriously, and then looked at this problem.

Yu Yunwen pondered for a while, and finally wrote out the meaning of it, and finally marked a few large characters, "Students have no chance to read this book, and the answer is only their own understanding."

On the other side, Guo Jia finished writing all the exam questions, but was stumped by Yu Yunwen's same question.

"Which book is this from? I think I, Guo Fengxiao, have read tens of thousands of volumes, but I am stumped by a single question?" Guo Jia rubbed his nose and murmured.

However, Guo Jia is not a person who admits defeat. After savoring it carefully, he wrote down his own opinion.But he didn't mark it like Yu Yunwen.
