Chapter 256 Five subjects of the Beijing test
When going to Beijing, the comfortable and comfortable temperature makes the people in Beijing look a little lazy in summer. The noisy markets in the past also show a little deserted.
Of course, this is not just because of the temperature. Today is the eve of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the first Beijing examination for Eastern Mongolia to take over the northeast.
For more than ten years, since Mongolia invaded the south and the current situation was turbulent, the imperial examination system, which had completely stopped its class leap from a white-ding to a bureaucrat and noble. In the northeast, only with soldiers in their hands can one become a grass-headed king in the local area. The identity of a scholar has also become a humble existence like a slave here that can be despised at will.
If you don’t want to pick up weapons and kill people, and want to change your destiny, it is almost impossible. Therefore, the reopening of the imperial examination is the best, the most peaceful, the least bloodless, and the best way to achieve the promotion ladder to change oneself and even the family’s destiny.
And who can nominate the Beijing list for this first Beijing exam? Can it be reused by the Ming government? Can it become a pillar of the imperial court? It is even more expected by the people of Beijing.
After all, the path that the first student has taken will be that more people will also have to go through in the future. How far these students can go in the officialdom and whether ordinary family background can become a prominent family are all the answers these people desire.
At present, Shangjing Nancheng School is the largest school in Shangjing City and can accommodate the most students. 794 juren who stood out from the provincial examination are ushering in the most important exam in life in an extremely generous examination room.
Similar to the provincial examination model, the Beijing examination is also divided into subject examinations. There are five subjects in total, divided into "General Mandarin", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Essentials for Officials", "Improvisational Policy" and riding and shooting.
Among them, "General Mandarin" contains common sense of Chinese language, logic and word annotations, as well as a small number of Mongolian vocabulary interpretations with more use scenarios. However, considering that the number of users is only outside the Hailar Province, the score accounts for only two-tenths.
Originally, according to the proposal of the Education Department, he wanted to completely abolish the Mongolian part of the Mandarin exam. However, considering the harmony of ethnic groups, Ulutus decided to retain Mongolian after discussing with the Minister of Rites and the Secretary of the Privy Council. However, the scores were also compressed, which was considered to be according to the basic social language habits of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the language of minority tribes in Khitan, Jurchen, Goryeo, Bohai, Uighur, etc., it is basically not included in the examination. After all, Mongolian language as the ruling ethnic group has been compressed to this extent. How could it be considered that these people are not dominant in numbers, and are also used as the verb habits of the ruled ethnic group.
Against the backdrop of promoting unified language, unified writing, and unified customs and habits, these ruled ethnic groups can only slowly accept the fate of being assimilated.
The second "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is considered a promotional version of the difficulty of the provincial examination "Arithmetic". However, it is not very difficult to say how difficult it is. If the first grade mathematics of primary school in the future is used as a reference for provincial examinations, then the arithmetic in Beijing will be the difficulty of the second grade of primary school. In this era when basic mathematics is not valued and school education in Eastern Mongolia has not been on the rise for two years, it is still a bit difficult for everyone to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide.
In order to adapt to the acceptance ability of these juren as much as possible, the scope of the examination was also within the scope of the "Scientific Examination Essay" published previously. Some questions are derived from examples, but the text and numbers are slightly changed. If you can't answer this way, you will basically miss the nomination of the Beijing List.
In the "Essentials of Being an Official", the basic elements of being an official are used as the test point, and candidates will give corresponding solutions in different situations under examples. For example, if you have a household in a place with one hundred households, how can you increase the number of people and demonstrate your political achievements? In this way, you can eliminate those who are empty talk and better select the pillars who meet the requirements of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, there are also laws of the Ministry of Justice, which account for a large proportion, which are the bottom line of the law that officials cannot violate. This is to let these officials know in advance that some things are absolutely not touched or violated by officials.
The fourth subject, "The Strategy" is similar to the provincial examination, giving a question to ask candidates to propose corresponding strategies for governing the country. For example, the title of "The Strategy" this time is a case of rectification of the government of the government involving the aftermath of the aftermath of the dog biting case, allowing candidates to speak freely, tell the relevance of the matter, the necessity of rectifying the government, and how to maintain the discipline of the court.
In short, all the four subjects of the literature test reflect the country's governance idea to the greatest extent that Ulutus's "empty talk will ruin the country, and hard work will promote the country". This is also the guiding idea that Ulutus has implemented to the entire bureaucratic system and even the people of the Ming Dynasty for a long time.
Although the time is still short, the effect remains to be seen. But Ulutus feels that as long as he is guided by his long-term guidance, he will definitely develop in the direction he expects. As long as he is still on the throne for one day and as long as he is still the master of this land, his will will continue to be unswervingly implemented.
The last one riding and shooting test was more efficient and almost the same martial arts test. In the end, there was no strong body, even if they were given an official position, they would be unable to perform their duties due to lack of energy.
This is the first subject in Beijing exam, "General Mandarin", and it takes an hour. After the exam, you will take a break for one noon before continuing to take the next subject. During this period, all candidates cannot leave the school.
For this reason, all the scholars in the first school were given a three-day holiday. The first day was left for the Education Department to set up an examination room in the school. The second and third days were left for the sergeants to take the exam. Two subjects were given one for each day.
In order to ensure fairness, each classroom only accommodates 30 candidates at one time, and each seat is at least three feet apart. And when allocating examination seats, each subject is an unfixed examination room.
Maybe when taking the first subject, the candidate will be in Class A, Class B, and when the second subject is Class B. In this way, even if the candidates with many abilities leave notes on the table for cheating, they will become a silence due to changes in the examination room.
Of course, these methods are just secondary means. The most important thing is the examiners who implement anti-cheating policies. Each classroom is equipped with four examiners, and after each subject is over, they will be regrouped in a disorderly order. Those candidates who need extreme silence and poor psychological quality must be mentally prepared to miss the Beijing list.
