Chapter 827 Ma Yunlu Disguising as a Man

There were still no major problems in the two subsequent exams, but various problems continued.

The main reason is that candidates from other places really can't adapt to this kind of exam.

A person who has never taken an exam before, suddenly faced with so many exams, naturally he is very uncomfortable.

Some people feel that they came from a long distance, but they failed the exam in the end, and their mentality collapsed.

Some are the children of rich families, with high eyesight and low hands, and they simply gave up after finding out that they failed the exam.

Zhang Yu paid close attention to the exam early in the morning, and hundreds of thousands of exam papers needed to be reviewed after the exam.

This is a very difficult job.

But Zhang Yu also has a way, he went to Jiangdong Academy the next time.

At this time, Jiangdong Academy will be closed and not open to the public for the time being. The students will be on vacation, and the test papers will be processed uniformly here.

"After binding, file those random answers and those with a large number of blanks that have no answers first. There is no need to review these." Zhang Yu said to his subordinates.

After the first exam, Zhang Yu and the others began to organize forces to mark the papers.

Many candidates gathered here, and more than 100,000 people came to Jiangdong. It would be a big trouble not to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Zhang Yu asked people to set up a batch of military tents in a corner of the city that has not yet started construction. Candidates can stay here for free if they want to before the results are released, and they can eat lunch here every day, as long as they have the exam certificate That's it.

Three exams are finally completed.

The first imperial examination in history was successfully completed.

Zhang Yu and the three elders sat in Jiangdong Academy and began to process the large number of test papers.

"My lord, pick out random answers and a lot of blank test papers. There are hundreds of them every time. It seems that there are quite a few people who come to make up the numbers." Zhang Zhao replied.

Zhang Zhao is also one of the persons in charge of the scientific research, so if a senior official is here, any problems can be solved on the spot without asking for instructions.

It is not so easy to review the test papers. Zhang Yu used the method of later generations to cover up the name and other information. Two people are required to review one test paper.

Those who bound these test papers were the students of Jiangdong College. Those who did not take the test were selected to come over, and then the soldiers of the army were in charge of monitoring.

After a batch of test papers are bound, they will be sent over for review.

All the work was carried out in an orderly manner, and the results were not so fast, so Zhang Yu didn't care about the specific affairs.

On the third day after the exam, Zhang Yu put on his casual clothes and planned to go out for a walk to find out what the candidates thought.

You can see a lot of candidates on the street, most of them are foreign candidates, tens of thousands of people are still gathered in this royal city.

"General Zhang..."

Zhang Yu was walking on the street alone, but was stopped by a person who looked like an examinee.

Zhang Yu froze for a moment, looked at the other party, but didn't recognize him.

"What's the matter?" The other party smiled and said, "Your Majesty Zhang, you forget things so much that you don't remember the woman anymore."

At first glance, it was clearly dressed by a boy, but it was obvious that it was a girl.

Big breasts, tender face, delicate.

"You are?"

"I'm Ma Yunlu, I've met General Zhang." Ma Yunlu bowed slightly and said in a low voice.

Zhang Yu laughed out loud. The woman disguised as a man turned out to be Ma Yunlu. She met her once a few years ago, but she really didn't recognize her.

"Why are you here? And why are you dressed like this?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It's not convenient to talk here." Ma Yunlu glanced at the street.

"There is a tea house at the corner ahead, let's go there." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu was also very surprised to meet Ma Yunlu on the road.

After arriving at the teahouse, the business is often very good, and the teahouse is immediately full, with the most examinees in it.

Seeing that there were no seats, Zhang Yu wanted to leave, but saw an acquaintance by the window, a businessman from Jiangdong, whom Zhang Yu had contacted directly.

"Can you give me the seat, I'll pay for the tea money for you." Zhang Yu said.

When the visitor saw that it was Zhang Yu, he was startled and wanted to give up his seat hastily. Zhang Yu held him down and said, "No need to do that, I just want to hear what the candidates have to say."

The businessman secretly gave Zhang Yu a thumbs-up, and then said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, I also want to hear about any business opportunities, but after half-hearing, I heard nothing."

Zhang Yu was curious. The businessman was quite smart, so he asked, "What do you think?"

"Haha, food, clothing, housing and transportation here have already been done by someone. I just want to collect the test papers for this exam, bind them into a book, and sell them outside." The man said.

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "You go to Jiangdong Academy to find someone, ask them for the test paper, and the reference answer of the test paper, I will give you all, let you bind it, and sell it as soon as possible."

Zhang Yu picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote him a note.

Zhang Yu finished writing and said: "If you work overtime to get it, you will definitely make a fortune. Among other things, just the candidates here, many people will buy it."

These are the real questions over the years. Every time I take the exam, I don’t know how many people will buy it. This businessman has a good mind and will definitely make a fortune.

The man thanked him very much, nodded and left, leaving the seat to Zhang Yu.

"Haha, General Zhang, are you acting like a public servant for personal gain?" Ma Yunlu looked aside.

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Don't call me General when you're outside, just call me Brother Zhang or Brother Yu, otherwise you will reveal your identity and you won't be able to go shopping."

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Yu." Ma Yunlu herself is also hiding her identity, so naturally she will not reveal Zhang Yu's identity.

Zhang Yu replied to the question just now: "Actually, just now is not considered as selfishness. There is a reason for giving him the test paper and the answer. This will definitely increase my influence in Jiangdong, and it will also affect and guide the next scholar."

Zhang Yu said again: "By the way, you haven't answered why I came here, and dressed like this."

At this time, new tea was delivered, and after the two left, Ma Yunlu said: "It's very simple, I'm here to participate in the scientific examination."

Although Zhang Yu had anticipated this answer, he still showed a look of surprise.

"Why? Are women not allowed to participate?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "No, women are allowed to take the test. We haven't banned women from taking the test, but I guess you are indeed the only one."

Zhang Yu also didn't understand why this Ma Yunlu had to travel all the way to take part in the scientific examination. No matter what, this Ma Yunlu was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

"I just want to see if this woman is inferior to a man." Ma Yunlu pouted.

"My philosophy is not to despise women. Women can naturally take part in scientific examinations, and women can also be officials. If you understand, there are still many women studying in Jiangdong's education system."

Zhang Yu shook his head. He didn't know why there wasn't a single woman in Jiangdong taking the scientific examination this time. According to his understanding, there should be many women in Jiangdong participating. After all, many of Jiangdong's women are educated.
