This new type of exam paper is unprecedented for test takers!

However, Li Shaoquan didn't care.

During this period, Li Shaoquan had already gone through all the primary and secondary school textbooks in Dongning.

Although some knowledge remains unclear, most of the content is already quite familiar.

In addition, Li Shaoquan came from a rural background and was quite familiar with farmland and water conservancy matters.

Therefore, Li Shaoquan was also very good at this set of test papers.

In less than an hour, Li Shaoquan had finished the exam paper, handed it in, and left.

The surrounding examinees were all taken aback when they saw Li Shaoquan handing in his paper.

"Who is this person? Is he that powerful?"

"How long did it take to finish and hand in the paper?"

"I guess they don't know how to do it!"

...

The candidates were inwardly grumbling.

After watching Li Shaoquan leave the examination room, the candidates continued to scratch their heads, pondering how to fill in the questions on the exam paper.

Weng Shuping, who was standing to the side, also frowned, thinking and filling in the form.

For most candidates, the two-hour exam period is like torture.

After finally finishing the exam, the candidates handed in their papers and left the exam hall, all of them sighing in despair.

"Ugh, what are these exam questions? I've never seen them before!"

"Is this some kind of imperial examination? Sigh, it's too difficult!"

"Who do you think was the student who handed in their paper early in the exam room?"

"Him! Li Shaoquan!"

"Li Shaoquan?"

The candidates were quite surprised and quickly said, "Let's go ask Li Shaoquan how he took the exam and how he knows so much!"

"Let's go, let's go ask!"

After leaving the examination hall, the group of candidates arrived at the inn where Li Shaoquan was staying.

Upon seeing Li Shaoquan, the candidates began asking him a barrage of questions.

Listening to the questions from the candidates, Li Shaoquan couldn't help but smile.

He patted a set of books on the table beside him and said with a smile, "Actually, the content is very simple. Most of it is in the textbooks of Dongning primary and secondary schools."

"Dongning primary and secondary school textbooks?"

The candidates were even more confused.

Several candidates picked up the textbooks from the desk, opened them, and were stunned.

"Shaoquan, where did you get these books?"

One of the candidates asked a question.

"Qingyu Trading Company!"

Li Shaoquan said, "In the capital, Qingyu Trading Company sells these books, and the prices aren't expensive!"

"Really? Looks like I'll have to buy one when I get back."

The candidates suddenly realized what was going on.

"As for basic knowledge about farmland and water conservancy, you will need to accumulate that knowledge yourself."

Li Shaoquan, with a penchant for teaching, said, "I come from a rural background and have some knowledge of farmland irrigation, so I can handle it. You can learn this knowledge by going to the rural areas outside Beijing and talking to the local people, militia members, village elders, and farmers."

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Shaoquan!"

The candidates quickly expressed their gratitude.

After leaving the inn, the students went to the nearby Qingyu Trading Company and bought Dongning Primary and Secondary School textbooks.

In no time, all the Dongning textbooks in the capital city were sold out.

The Qingyu Trading Company, unaware of the reason, quickly began to inquire about the cause.

After learning the reason behind it, the manager of Qingyu Trading Company was both amused and exasperated, and immediately ordered the Capital Bookstore to start printing more Dongning textbooks.

On the other hand, the students who received the textbooks also seized the time to review.

After all, the Beijing Municipal Government School had already issued a notice.

The second round of entrance examinations will be held next month.

For them, even if they don't pass the first round of entrance exams, there are still the second and third rounds they can participate in.

All you need to do during this period is review the materials.

The changes among the candidates in Beijing also came to the attention of Zhao Bingzhang, Yu Maocai, and others.

"Old Zhao,"

Yu Maocai looked at Zhao Bingzhang and said, "Tell me, now that these candidates know where we set the questions, what are we going to do? Aren't our exam questions too easy?"

"Knowing the scope of the exam is not a bad thing."

Zhao Bingzhang thought for a moment and then said, “His Majesty has already said that the Capital Political School has easy admissions but strict graduation requirements. Even if they can pass the entrance exam, it doesn’t mean anything. The most important thing in school is to learn knowledge. Moreover, upon graduation, they will have to submit a rural survey report and complete internships in various districts and communes. It’s not that easy to graduate and become an official! Prime Minister, you can rest assured!”

"Hmm."

Yu Maocai nodded slightly and said, "Then we can release the results of our first round of entrance exams!"

"Okay, the results can be released now!"

Zhao Bingzhang nodded and said, "This Li Shaoquan is really good. It seems we should keep a close eye on him after the start of the semester!"

After discussion among Zhao Bingzhang, Yu Maocai, and others, the examination papers and the list of admitted students were handed over to His Majesty for decision.

After learning about the matter, Li Xin was somewhat surprised by Li Shaoquan's score.

After carefully reviewing Li Shaoquan's exam paper, Li Xin realized that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!

With proper guidance, even the ancients were able to utilize their intelligence and wisdom!

The results of the first entrance examination for the Beijing Municipal Government School were officially released the following day!

A huge list was posted on the outer wall of the former Imperial College, the Capital Government School.
