The examiners’ examination papers are not sent to the examiners after they are collected.

Before that, we must go through a series of handling and pre-examination by the outer curtain officials.

First, the "receiver" handed over the collected test papers to the "Mifeng Institute". The Mifeng officials carefully checked the test papers whether there were any signals of joint fraud such as folding corners, needle holes, etc.

If so, pick out the test paper and make it to the blue list.

Then fold the ink roll that is free of charge, seal it, paste the name, and correspond to the blank red roll, and then send it to the next place - the copying office.

The "Crossing Office" is the most important institution among the four outer curtain institutes. It is responsible for copying the ink scrolls answered by candidates with a red pen on a blank red scroll with a word of the pen.

The examiner of the inner curtain does not contact the candidates' ink scrolls, and the copying red scrolls are used when marking the papers.

This is to avoid the inner curtain examiner who recognizes the candidates who pass the joints from the handwriting. Therefore, even the typos of the candidates in the transcription must be copied intact. And it must be marked on the red scroll, and how many words have been rewritten in the ink scroll...

If the typo and the correction add up to more than one hundred words, select the test paper and make it on the blue list.

In addition, those who do not submit draft papers in the article should also select them together, list the reasons and submit them to the blue list.

After the test paper is copied, it must be handed over to the "Selection Institute" to proofread.

The reading staff must be proofread in a group of two people, one person on the ink scroll, and one person on the red scroll.

After confirming that the two papers have no difference in words, I wrote the words "Xiao-some reads Zhu, X-some reads ink, and there is no difference in reading" on the red scroll.

If you find any omissions or errors in the transcription, use an ochre yellow pen to correct it.

Transcribing and reading require a lot of manpower, and it is naturally not possible to rely on officials alone, so students are all used as students.

If the transcription is incorrectly read, or the handwriting is sloppy, the student will be punished as an official.

Yes, you are not allowed to study anymore, just let you go to the government as the director...

Actually, it's quite good.

~~

After this series of strict processing, the test paper was finally handed over to the 'outside collection office'.

The officials who are collecting their hands will check the number of the red scroll and ink scroll again, and after confirming that it is correct, they will leave the ink scroll in the institute to temporarily store it.

Then, the red scrolls without the names of the candidates and without special marks were divided into eighteen bunches, written on them and put them in the box. Two tribute officials posted seals, used the guards to guard them, and personally delivered them to Feihong Bridge.

Feihongqiao is the dividing point between the Gongyuan exam and the marking of papers.

In Qiaonan, the entire process of the examination and the four examination papers processed by the four tribute officials, two tribute officials, are responsible for all officials, and all officials are called the four guild officials.

Qiaobei is responsible for the review and ranking of the papers, and the two chief examiners led by the 18th room examiner, who is the inner curtain officer.

The Iron Law of the Gongyuan, the inner curtain officer must not reach the south of the bridge, and the outer curtain officer must reach the north of the bridge, and both sides must be absolutely isolated.

The current minister of the Ministry of Rites was Gao Yi, the Minister of Rites and the Right Minister of Rites Wan Shihe.

After the second game, that is, on the 15th day, the two led officials from the Foreign Office to transport the 4,003 test papers packaged in a large box of nine entries to the south of Hongqiao.

There were 4,500 candidates who entered the venue, so there were almost 200 test papers. They were dismissed for reasons other than various articles and could not pass this rainbow bridge.

On the north side of Hongqiao, Li Chunfang and Yin Shidan, the chief examiner of the current department, have already led the officials of the "Inner Acceptance Office" and have been waiting for a long time.

The four big men went up the bridge at the same time and completed the handover procedures. The nine-mouth box was handed over to the Neicheng Palm Office.

~~

When the two examiners returned to the "Jianheng Hall" with the nine-guard box, Shen Shixing and the examiners in the 18th Room could not wait to wait there.

It has been seven days since they entered the eighth day of the lunar month. They have nothing to do all day long, holding banquets with various names and food and drinks, and many of them have gained a lot of weight.

Looking at the young people who were eager to try, the two major examiners exchanged their eyes with the experienced people and said in a secret smile that your hard days have begun.

Li Chunfang asked someone to sign the box and asked the 18 fellow examiners to draw lots separately.

When I got the number, I reviewed the test papers.

After the same examiner selected the number, Yin Shidan tore open the seal, Li Chunfang opened the lock, and gave them the nine boxes of test papers.

So Shen Shixing and others picked up the test paper they had drawn and sat back to their table. They tore off the seal and placed more than 200 red papers in front of them.

The two chief examiners sat in the hall and looked at the examiner behind the eighteen tables to mark the papers under the hall.

The inner supervisor who was responsible for monitoring the inner curtain officer sat on his back at the gate, facing the examiner far away, remembering all the moves in the Jianheng Hall in his heart.

Each examiner gets 220 to thirty test papers. But for fairness, each test paper must be reviewed by several examiners separately.

Therefore, every examiner has to review thousands of copies of the first test paper.

And unlike later generations who criticize college entrance examination essays, you can finish it by just a glance and score.

They have to read the candidate's articles word by word, find out all the mistakes, and they cannot make mistakes themselves, and finally give comments with a green pen.

Because after the results are released, the candidates can check their own papers.

Those who win will naturally be happy, while those who fail will complain, think there is a shady scene in the imperial examination and try to pick out the mistakes of the examiner's papers.

If they were asked to pick them up, the Ministry of Rites would have to give an explanation at the very least. If you are not polite, you might even go directly to the Censorate.

Once verified, the examiners will be fined at the least, and the worst will be lost, and the consequences will be very serious.

Therefore, when dealing with every red book you handle, the young examiners must open their eyes and judge with care.

In this way, each person can review 100 copies of the papers in one day, and he will be dizzy.

Moreover, after dark, Jianheng Hall immediately locked the door. After dawn the next day, the examiners came back to review the papers. No test paper can be taken out to the court, so they can only review it during the day.

According to regulations, the examiners have only half a month to mark the papers. If they understand the first chapter, they will have to take more than ten days.

With three or five days left, I have to finish the two or three test papers, so I can only go through it all in one go, and it would be fine if there are no major mistakes...

So over time, the bad habit of examining officials only focusing on the field is formed. There is no way to do so, it is forced.

In fact, even the examiners don’t have time to savor all the seven questions in the first stage. They tacitly devote most of their efforts to the first four-book title. On the basis of the other six articles without major mistakes, they are very particular about the first four-book title titles to judge the quality of the test paper.

Therefore, when people later talked about the exam questions in which year, they refer to the four books on this topic. The other six questions are not worthy of having names at all.

~~

The examiner of the house can only recommend the examination papers to the principal. Whether to take or not is decided by the two principals.

But the examiner of the house can argue for the excellent test papers he recommends. Of course, it is a different matter whether the two examiners listen to them or not.

When both the main testimonials recognized the paper, the deputy main testimonials wrote the word "光" with ink pen. The main testimonials were next to it and also wrote the word "光" with ink pen, and officially took the book.

Therefore, when you gathered seven colors of "red, orange, dark, green, blue, purple, and purple" on your red scroll, congratulations on you, finally in high school.
