The examination took place at the county government, as the Minister of Agriculture Supervision did not have enough tables and chairs.
The County Venerable also handled the literary affairs, so any theoretical examinations were usually held in the examination rooms of the county government.
County Venerable Li Wenzheng was not seen; the chief examiner and proctors were still acquaintances from the Minister of Agriculture Supervision, but the number of invigilators from the county government increased to fifty, along with clerks delivering meals and water.
This time, endurance was not being tested, so meals would be delivered to the examination rooms midway through.
The examination spanned two days, so naturally, there was no shortage of test papers.
After Zhao Xing found his designated examination room and took his seat, he waited for the test papers to be distributed. When they arrived, there were forty sheets in total!
Thirty of these were question sheets, and ten were blank.
