- Time flies, and autumn is about to begin, and the entire capital begins to become lively again, because the three-year imperial examination is about to begin soon.
This is the first imperial examination since Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne. The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. At the beginning of the year, he had already passed the Di Bao. The newspaper informed the world that this year the number of admissions will be nearly 200 more than before. The total admission quota will exceed 700.
This can be regarded as the largest number of admissions since the Conceptual Imperial Examination.
You must know that in the past, there were only about 300 places for the imperial examination. Later, with the increase in the Dongbang and the Ming Dynasty overseas provinces, the number of places was gradually expanded to about 500.
This time Emperor Zhengde approved an additional 200 places, which is obviously a kind of grace.
Because in the first year of Zhengde last year, according to past traditions, when the new emperor ascended the throne, in addition to granting amnesty to the world, he would also grant grace to show his benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
But last year Emperor Zhengde did not open Enke. There were many factors, the most important of which was that the imperial examination was coming in the second year of Zhengde, so there was no need to open Enke.
The imperial examination was a major event for the entire Ming Dynasty. It only happened once every three years. Every time there was an imperial examination, the entire capital would become extremely lively.
Talents from all over the Ming Dynasty gathered in the capital and wrote ink. They also left a large number of classic numerals, couplets, calligraphy and so on in various parts of the capital.
At the same time, every imperial examination also adds a lot of new stories to the old and young men of the Ming Dynasty.
The story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor scholar and the poor scholar falling in love after high school has become a very cliche story. However, everyone still listens to it with gusto, and they all daydream about whether they can become the protagonist. The name on the gold medal list, the wedding room with flowers and candles, and then embarked on a prosperous road.
There are other stories about a talented man and a beautiful woman in a brothel. The top star of Yihong Courtyard and Xiaoxiang Court fell in love with a talented scholar. However, the evil madam never let her go, just to see what the scholar would do to him.
In the end, when the scholar was in high school, the carp leaped over the dragon gate and soared into the sky. In the end, the madam had to choose to let him go. For this reason, he left everyone with a beautiful love story.
There was also a poor scholar who came to the capital to take the exam. He was too poor to live in an inn and had to sleep on the street. Some kind people helped this scholar, not only letting him live in his own home, but also providing him with meals.
It turned out that the scholar lived up to expectations. As expected, after high school and becoming a high official, he rewarded his benefactor heavily.
There are too many stories like this, too many. When it comes to the imperial examination, these stories are being told all over the capital.
The operas in the theater are about the story of the poor scholar and the wealthy daughter. The newspaper also publishes the story of the scholar studying hard. The story of the scholar is the most talked about among the neighbors.
In this age where everything is inferior and the only good thing is reading, stories about scholars are the mainstream of this era, and they are also the stories that everyone likes the most.
This time, 200 more places were added to the imperial examination, which also brought the number of people taking the imperial examination to an unprecedented 50,000. Many grandfathers in their fifties and sixties came tremblingly accompanied by their families. Take the test.

These factors have led to more and more candidates taking the imperial examination year by year. This year, an unprecedented 50,000 people came to the capital to take the imperial examination.
¡°In addition, some scholars who are full and have nothing to do also come to the capital to join in the fun and watch the excitement. It is expected that there may be more than 100,000 scholars in the capital during the imperial examination.
No way, the transportation is so convenient now. Daming trains have covered most provinces. Even the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan areas in the southwest are connected to trains. It is very easy to get to Beijing with trains.
In addition, there are cars, ships, motorcycles and other means of transportation, and cement roads are everywhere. If you have nothing to do, it would be nice to go to the capital to watch the imperial examination and feel the atmosphere. Anyway, it is now the Ming Dynasty. There are no longer restrictions in this regard, you can go wherever you want.
Even many ordinary people can come to the capital if they have nothing to do.Join in the fun and feel the atmosphere of the imperial examination.
Isn't it still hot summer? A large number of students from all over the Ming Dynasty have gathered here in the capital. In their words, they came to the capital in advance to familiarize themselves with the climate and living habits of the capital, so as not to Unaccustomed to the environment.
In the past imperial examinations, there were always cases where some candidates performed abnormally due to acclimatization and ultimately regretted their lives.

From now on, if a high school student becomes an official in the government, these are all paths, and they are also important ways to get promoted.
In addition, those who are from the same hometown and are from the same school, etc., who take the imperial examination together should move around more. Maybe they will go to high school together by then, and then they will be officials in the government. Of course, they will have to interact more with each other. To support and help.
Anyway, for scholars in this era, reading is very important, and making friends and visiting friends is also very important. When you come to the capital in advance, you naturally have to move around more, get to know more talented people from the Ming Dynasty, and the princes in the court. wait.
This is why studying is very expensive.

Even with the development of the Ming Dynasty, the current market price has risen. It's so powerful that even a few hundred taels of silver is hard to come by, and it costs thousands.
