After finalizing the relevant matters with Kong Yingda, this matter must not be issued immediately, because it will have to wait until the national results are unified, and the completed test papers will be uniformly transported to Chang'an City.
The reason for this is that because of the special nature of this exam, some people who have undergone professional study, coordination and induction are required to make further allocations based on some answers and other aspects.
For example, some children who come from commoner backgrounds may lag behind in overall performance, but this is because of their study time and in order to select as many talents as possible.
This requires coordinating and summarizing personnel to make a coordinating and summarizing the difficulty level of these test questions given by Li Ke in advance. At that time, some people from the common people, although the study time is short, resulting in poor test scores, in fact they have enough brains Smart people can also be selected.
Currently, there are not many people taught by Li Ke here who are responsible for coordinating and summarizing. The leader is naturally Li Yan. However, it is naturally impossible for Li Yan to help with this matter. When the time comes, it will be handled by the people below.
There were not many of these people, so all the test papers were transported to Chang'an City for summary.
Fortunately, the pace of this era is inherently slow. It is normal for exam results to be delayed by one or two months.
All test papers will be transported by the cavalry as quickly as possible.
However, although the relevant notice from the Ministry of Education has not been issued, the data and results have been released. No one has obtained the specific information, because the Ministry of Public Security is watching this matter.
However, they know the approximate data, that is, how many people took the exam and other information, and they will definitely not be able to obtain other data.
Because the person responsible for the specific data is still under closed management.
The reason why Li Ke did not stop the general data was that he deliberately released it.
A total of more than 35,000 people participated in the examination throughout Chang'an. This number has exceeded everyone's imagination.
The scope of Chang'an naturally includes not only the people living in Chang'an City, but also the populous counties around Chang'an and so on.
But even so, this number has silenced all the wealthy families, because among the more than 35,000 people, almost most of the outstanding students sent by the wealthy families accounted for less than half.
Most of the remaining people were people who had never been able to participate in the imperial examination or participate in national political affairs before, but these people took the examination.
There are more than 4,000 people from the real lower class.
What is this concept? They may not know, but Li Ke knows that from the invention of the imperial examination system to the end of China's last dynasty more than a thousand years later, the total number of Jinshi was only over 140,000.
Among these Jinshi who were over 140,000 years old, there were 26,849 in the Qing Dynasty alone. There were about 25,000 in the Ming Dynasty. How many were there in the Song Dynasty? Nearly 60,000!
The remaining Liao, Xixia, Jin, and Yuan people totaled about 4,000 people, and the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties totaled only more than 6,000 people.
The number of Jinshi assigned to the Tang Dynasty was even smaller. In the Tang Dynasty, the threshold for participating in the imperial examination was not low. Although the number of Jinshi admitted was very low, it was actually much higher than that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
But even so, the Tang Dynasty only admitted twenty or thirty Jinshi people each time.
Of course this is because the number of people admitted is small, but it is also because there are so few people taking the exam.
And now... there are more than 30,000 candidates in Chang'an alone. Note that there are more than 30,000 people who have met the examination standards. What if all the students are included?
I'm afraid this number of students is not for hundreds of thousands.
This is just around Chang'an, although Chang'an has a population of close to 2 million including the surrounding populous counties.
How many scholars were there in the Tang Dynasty? And how many candidates meet the examination standards this time?
With such a huge number, these wealthy families do not know the situation of later generations, but they know the situation of the Tang Dynasty.
How many people took part in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty? Even in the simplest scholar examination, the number of people is only a few thousand, while in the Jinshi and Ming Jing examinations, the number of people is only two to three hundred, or even less.
And now? There are more than 30,000 people around Chang'an alone! More than ten times!
And this exam is not the simplest exam. I heard that it is a more advanced exam set by His Highness.
Although they didn't know what the talents were in the final exam, the number alone frightened everyone and made them feel more intuitive.
Could it be that His Highness said that everyone in the world is a scholar, or he dare not say that everyone in the world is a scholar, but will it really happen that everyone in the world can read? How powerful would Datang be at that time?
And...at that time, could Datang really be stable?
Aren’t the first rebels in all dynasties all scholars? No matter what his background is, he must still have an identity, that is, he is a scholar.
Historical records record Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, saying, "Does the prince and general Xiang Ning have a seed?" It is said that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the first peasant uprising against tyranny.
It seems that the two of them are also farmers.
But in fact, these wealthy families know it very well. First of all, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not ordinary people. Both of them had official positions in Qin at that time, and they also had aristocratic backgrounds.
You must know that Chen Sheng's nickname is She and Wu Guang's nickname is Shu. Moreover, these surnames and names were not given after they became famous. They were originally there.
This is enough to explain the problem. You must know that even Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not have a name at the beginning.
At first, Liu Bang was called Liu Ji because he was the third eldest child in the family. He only got his name after he became famous.
In addition to their names, these two people also have words, which can already explain a lot of problems.
As for the first so-called peasant uprising, most wealthy families only took a look at it. Because they all know that the common people are the easiest to be coerced, and the so-called first time is not the first time, because Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and became the first unified dynasty in the entire Central Plains.
Then there were peasants and uprisings.
Before Qin, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, did the people have the opportunity to revolt? During the 242 years of the Spring and Autumn Period, dozens of vassal states conquered and plotted against each other, 36 monarchs were assassinated by subordinates or enemy states, 52 vassal states were destroyed, there were more than 480 major and minor wars, and more than 450 vassal appointments and alliances were held.
During the Warring States Period, the war between large and small vassal states turned into a melee between several vassal states, until Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and became a unified dynasty.
During this time, you say, it is not easy for the people to live, so they are still rebelling?
As for the earlier Zhou Dynasty, how could there be any common people and farmers at that time? Those are all slaves. So of course it was the first time for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
