The next day, the candidates came to the examination room one after another. Due to the large number of people, the original examination room was not enough, so they could only set up large examination room in the open air, and it was just one.

Each person has a table, not a separate single room. This means cheating is possible, provided that it can be hidden from the eyes of more than a dozen invigilators in each examination room.

Cheating will be disqualified from the exam, and if you are caught, you will be disqualified. The above has made it clear that the content of this exam is not difficult. And if you can become a scholar at 80, no one will be unable to get along with your future.

"It's not that strict... Maybe it's because of the extra exam." The scholars found their seats according to the exam numbers, and then sat down.

Several examination rooms are divided here, each examination room has 100 candidates and is supervised by ten minor officials.

It is not from the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Rites, but from the Ministry of Justice, and some of the people drawn from the Jinyiwei.

Every scholar could notice that the eyes of these invigilators were very sharp, as if they wanted to see through themselves.

The test paper is one, the answer paper is one, and then the composition paper is one, and the draft paper is three points. The pen, ink, paper and ink are solved by yourself. Of course, there is water in the examination room that can be provided.

So that's it, the meaning of the scriptures is used in such a place... Candidates can't write the test paper yet, but they can mark the paper in advance. In terms of filling in the blanks, it is obviously from a certain passage of scripture, such as the Analects of Confucius.

There is also an interpretation, which is to select a sentence and then let the candidates answer it. At this time, the sentence division is very important, especially for many people, the content of the original two sentences has now become one sentence.

I added a paragraph and looked back and forth, and it seemed that I saw a new world, and the importance of dividing sentences was clearer.

Of course, this is for foreign candidates and traditional scholars. The candidates who came through enlightenment classes and advanced learning classes took it for granted when they saw this, after all, they learned it in the beginning.

After that... there is no future. The next stage is the aspect of numerical calculation; then there are two case analysis, which tests the law; the most unfriendly thing for foreign candidates is that there are about twenty-tenths of ideological and political test questions.

These candidates in elementary school and advanced learning classes are almost all influenced by things, and are full of malicious intentions for other candidates. No wonder they only need to rely on 80 points for 120 points. It turns out that these 20 points outside candidates can only rely on guessing.

So the fault tolerance rate dropped from 40 to 20 minutes. If you are not a top student, you may not be able to pass the exam... Many candidates who originally thought it was easy to get the extra exam were already sweating on their foreheads.

With the sound of "Dangdang" bells coming from afar, the examiner officially announced: "Start the exam!"

The candidates quickly began to pick up paper and pen and start writing. Before, they thought it would be very simple for about ten hours, but now it seems that it is not easy.

"Whispering and cheating is prohibited." The examiner reminded him last time, "If the test paper is not printed clearly, the draft paper is not enough, and if you need to go to the toilet, you can raise your hand and wait for the invigilator to come over."

This level of exam must be handed in the paper for up to three hours if you change to modern times. Considering that the writing of the brush is not fast, six hours is actually almost the same. It’s just that the imperial examination is too important, which is related to the fate of the candidates. Finally, it is determined that it will be eight hours to take the exam.

It starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. In order to take care of the academic masters, it is allowed to hand over the papers in advance and leave the venue.

There is still a lunch time after midday, so you can eat it or not. Each candidate has two steamed buns, a plate of pickles and a cup of coarse tea. He doesn’t ask for much to eat, and fills his stomach, mainly not affecting his writing.

The meaning of the classics is all the most popular thing. As long as it is not ignorant of learning, it is basically okay to answer it. It is just that the Chinese language thing has a certain subjectivity in the papers. If the examiner thinks it is inappropriate, it is normal for one or two points to be deducted.

Just talking about composition, if you have blurred handwriting, you can get deducted one point. Sometimes everything is good. The examiner feels that you can't make the candidates too proud, and you will get used to deducting one point... I don't know if this is considered "no first in literature".

In terms of number calculation, candidates need to bring their own calculations or calculations, so crackling sounds soon came from the examination room.

The abacus thing was taken out by Liu Tao four or five years ago. After using it by Zhen, Zhang and Su's trading companies, they all thought it was easier to use than the calculation sheet, so they quickly promoted it.

So the merchants of the great man first comprehensively promoted the use of abacus. Then they were enlightenment classes and advanced learning classes, which promoted the abacus to their students.

Thanks to the fact that the six arts of gentlemen are one of them. Scholars from all over the world have come into contact with this thing and have gradually started to learn how to use it. Until now, after deducting a few people who can't use it, most candidates can already use abacus operations.

Thousands of people were making plans, and the picture was indeed extremely shocking.

Of course, there are some candidates who have never been exposed to them. They are still using calculation sheets to calculate. Listening to the sounds around them, they feel extremely noisy. It is not easy to have an attack, because this will cause the exam to be disqualified.

"The title of the composition is "Jinyang Wenwen", what does this mean?" Until the composition, most people felt unfamiliar with this topic, not like the strategy theory or the meaning of the scriptures, as if it was a travelogue, "Isn't it really a travelogue, right?"

Most people don’t think that the court wants you to write a travel note and then see how your writing style is.

They felt that there must be another mystery in "Jinyang Wenwen". If the topic fails, then you have lost from the beginning, and no matter how many follow-ups are, it will be useless.

But what is there to write about "Jiwen"? They have been in Jinyang for a while, for three months, and some people are even in Jinyang. They are very familiar with every tree and every tree here. What are the experiences worth writing about here?

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this essay?" Xun Yu asked Liu Tao for advice. This time he and Chen Qun were examiners, but he couldn't understand the essay when facing this essay.

Perhaps it was because of the last time when I was an examiner, the older generation relied on their seniority and pushed them out. So this time, the examiner was composed of Xun Yu, Zhang Yang, Jia Xu, Chen Qun and Wang Kuang.

"In recent years, I have issued many policies, such as libraries, primary schools, public toilets, and paying attention to road construction... These policies are changing Jinyang and may even affect the lives of the Han people.

What I need is to see their observation ability, whether they notice these, and at the same time understand what these policies are useful... The candidates selected in this way can at least keep up with my thinking." Liu Tao replied.

Xun Yu quickly flattered him, but he couldn't help but complain: Your Majesty, in fact, you have been said to be "indiscriminate" and "small" in recent years, so you are just planning to prove your correctness?

Seeing through and not saying it out loud, Xun Yu did not speak too much, and there was no obvious change in his expression.
