Chapter 201 County Examination


Chapter 201 County Examination

The parents waiting outside the examination room looked around intently.

Five county exams are equivalent to taking exams for five consecutive days, and this is only the first day.

In order to ensure that each candidate can successfully perform at his or her own level, Baichuan Academy distributed pen, ink, paper and inkstones.

This set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones was purchased on a large scale. Each set cost two taels of silver. For 50 students, it cost hundreds of taels.

Such a generous gesture shows that Baichuan Academy attaches great importance to this examination.

Whether you can be successfully admitted as a scholar, in addition to your own level, is also related to the quota.

This is equivalent to what is often referred to as the admission rate in later generations.

Obviously, Old Man Geng also had some knowledge about this scientific examination: "I wonder how many people have entered the examination room this year?"

Old Man Geng looked at the endless candidates lining up and There are so many people outside and parents of candidates who have almost nowhere to stay can’t help but feel worried.

Lu Mei's heart almost jumped into her throat. There is only one candidate in other people's homes, but there are three in my own! Still the three most unreliable.

"Probably several thousand people."

Kyoto is a big city with a population of over one million, and it places great emphasis on culture over military affairs. An average county or city only has about two to three hundred candidates. Kyoto is worth a thousand less.

Old Geng gasped, is this the legendary Thousand Army Crossing the Single Plank Bridge? ! The competition is too great!

Due to the large number of candidates, hundreds of soldiers were transferred from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for this examination, plus government officials to maintain order in the examination room.

Soon Jiang Yushi and Mr. Li also crowded into the gathering place of Baichuan Academy.

Jiang Yushi straightened his wrinkled sleeves and said calmly: "This exam is expected to be more difficult. In order to avoid cheating, Master Tong temporarily changed the test papers."

After saying that, Jiang Yushi glanced at Gu Nanxi with a vague look.

Gu Nanxi was confused, could this matter have something to do with her?

Master Li kindly reminded: "The real test papers and simulation papers of Baichuan Academy have attracted much attention. Although they studied in retreat, the test papers were still exposed. It is said that the examiner was frightened after seeing the simulation papers. Cold sweat.”

Old man Geng also understood what Mr. Li said.

Old man Geng slapped his leg and said regretfully: "Why did it get spread and was seen by the examiner!"

Master Li also felt pity.

He himself passed the imperial examination, so he naturally knew how difficult it was.

If you want to be foolproof, you must memorize the Four Books and Five Classics and their annotations by heart.

For Guangmoyi, if you take the Xiaojing test, you need to recite 100,000 words. If you were to take a major sutra exam, you would have to recite two to three hundred thousand!

In addition, you must use it flexibly, follow the exam format, and write articles neatly and in an organized manner.

But with the simulation roll, it’s different!

The range of hundreds of thousands of words can be reduced to tens of thousands of words! You can also do special exercises!

Chen Yixuan’s father, Mr. Chen, was so squeezed that he was sweating profusely. He took out his waist fan and kept fanning himself.

"The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind is about to destroy them. If there is such a big movement in Baichuan Academy, of course there will be thousands of pairs of eyes staring at it."

It was too late to say anything. Mr. Chen regretted it after saying it and hurriedly Supplement: "Mrs. Hou, I don't mean to say something bad about you. I mean, the world is always jealous of talented people, so it always adds some frustrations."

Master Li glared at him angrily. : "How do you know that the children this time Can't succeed? Pay attention and stop talking nonsense."

Master Chen shut up and changed the subject: "The environment of this examination room is really not good. It is short and narrow, only half a person wide. There is a table, a stool, and a few candles. I don’t know if the children can adapt to it.”

Jiang Yushi: “Baichuan Academy simulated the examination room environment ten days ago and took the simulated test several times.”

This is the benefit of hiring an experienced master. The imperial examination tests not only knowledge but also physical fitness.

Gu Nanxi understood clearly after listening to their chat. It turned out that the simulation paper was too accurate, which attracted the examiner's attention and the test paper was temporarily changed. However, the main content of Baichuan Academy is the test paper rather than the simulation paper!

In the examination room, although most of the students from Baichuan Academy entered the examination room for the first time, seeing the familiar examination room environment, their originally erratic hearts instantly calmed down.

Su Xuanming sat in a narrow room, waiting for the examiner to hand out test papers.

There is a lot of content in the exam paper this time, there are twenty papers in total, and there are also ten scratch papers.

The man with the curled hair also glanced at Su Xuanming emphatically, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The examiners at the top focused on observing the candidates of Baichuan Academy.

These candidates have very different temperaments, some look honest and honest, some look shrewd, some are gentlemen, some are mean like Su Yunting, and there are even girls!

But what they have in common is that these people have clear eyes and are confident!

The examiners whispered.

“Did they think they could win the county exam with just one mock paper?”

“The plan was discovered by Master Tong, and the exam paper was temporarily changed! Now, they were caught off guard! this No matter how many tricks Mrs. Yongchang Hou makes, she will not have time to turn the tide! "Hmph! Reality will teach Mrs. Yongchang Hou how to behave!"

The content of the first test is Tie. through.

Tie Jing means randomly picking a page from the Four Books and Five Classics, excerpting a line, and printing it on the test paper to do fill-in-the-blank questions and dictation questions. Under normal circumstances, it will not be too obscure at this stage of the county examination. As long as you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, you can usually All can pass.

But!

Didn’t Grand Master Tong come up with the question himself?

When the examiner opened the test paper and took a look, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

“It turned out to be an upside down pull!”

Because the Jinshi subject will also take the Tie Jing exam, but the number of passing places is very small, and the average very low rate is only about 2%, so the examiners will find ways to solve problems in the Jinshi subject, and usually use reverse selection.

Inverting is to pick the last line of a paragraph. There are only a few words in total. If you dig out three words, you may only have one or two words left. It seems completely meaningless and extremely difficult.

The examiner thought hard for a while, and then asked his colleague uncertainly: "Is this test about the content of "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Biography"?"

"Exactly!"

The "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Biography" has a total of more than 40,000 words!

This is undoubtedly an advanced math problem for primary school students who have just entered the first grade of elementary school.

Sure enough, there was a wailing sound in the examination room. Some people with a bad mentality were so nervous that they even vomited, which caused a chain reaction.

The hell-level start is nothing more than this!

What was supposed to be a post-question question instantly turned into a heavy hammer that broke down the psychological defense line!

Some candidates showed despair and left the venue angrily.

Some candidates fill up the questions with the mentality that the questions are so difficult that I can’t do it and others can’t, and I can’t leave it empty anyway.

Among the gloomy candidates, the candidates from Baichuan Academy are particularly different.

They write like a god, with almost no need for any thinking.

Out of curiosity, the examiner walked up to them and took a look. Did they write randomly? Even if I were to ask this question, I would have to think hard for a while before I could figure out the source!
