The scientific examination was completed late at night on the third day after the examination started. When an order was received that the examinations were over, the scholars could go back to rest and announce the results on another day.

Fifteen subjects were tested in three days. The scholars were exhausted after days of hard work. When they heard that the test was finally over, everyone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the scholars began to look forward to it with great anticipation, looking forward to the final exam.

the result of.

Another day, February 12th, the scholars had nothing to do, just waiting for the results of the scientific examination.

On the same day, in the palace of the city lord, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Mengxi were busy from morning to night, until late at night, until the rooster crowed, until early in the morning, until the sun was bright, and finally they were done.

Li Mengxi rubbed his eyes. He looked at the piles of test papers piled up on the table and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking up at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, they also looked relieved.

After correcting the test papers, the next step is trouble again.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the late Han Dynasty when there was no office software, statistical calculation of scores and rankings was a lot of data processing work.

There are more than 600 scholars, 15 subjects, and more than 9,000 test papers. These test papers must first be ranked according to subjects, and then the total scores of each person are added together, and then ranked high and low.

The processing of more than 9,000 data, from writing down, to comparison, to calculation, made Li Mengxi deeply troubled.

When Li Mengxi carefully opened the black paper seal on the examination paper and recorded the scores one by one, there was already a long line of numbers on the paper in front of him.

At this time, Li Mengxi was even a little envious of the rigid imperial examinations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Although the imperial examinations were rigid and only tested the Four Books and Five Classics, and the eight-legged essay, it was easy to correct the papers. There was only one paper and one paper.

, just sort out the top three, there is no need to use various statistics.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you look down on stereotyped candidates and want to select all kinds of talents as comprehensively as possible, then naturally, it will make the examination too complicated, and the correction and review will also be too complicated.

.

By the afternoon, Li Mengxi and the other three finally sorted out the scores of all the candidates and completed the verification.

Finally, Li Mengxi took a look at the form. He wanted to see who came first in the scientific examination and whether there were any outstanding figures.

The fifteen subjects, excluding Zongheng, which has not yet been tested for interviews, and the other fourteen subjects, the Confucian classics and the Analects of Confucius, are worth 200 points each, for a total of 1,600 points.

The first person on the report card has a total score of 960 points.

Li Mengxi did the math and found that the total score of 1,600 points, calculated as 60% of the passing score, was exactly 690.

Li Mengxi was slightly surprised. Among the hundreds of scholars, the best in the exam had an average score of just passing in each subject. He first lamented that there seemed to be no amazing talents among this group of scholars, but then he thought about how many subjects there were.

, the questions are complicated and there are so many categories, even if he takes the exams by himself, such as medicine, engineering, astronomy and geography, Li Mengxi feels that if he takes the exams by himself, he will be no better than the scholars.

Li Mengxi asked himself, if he were to take the exam, even if he knew the questions in advance, he would probably score around 1,000 points after completing the fourteen subjects, which would be similar to the first place in the exam.

Li Mengxi looked at the name of the first scholar in the exam. The name written on the paper was, Julu County, Guangzong County, Qin Shu. This Qin Shu, Li Mengxi frowned and thought for a long time. There seemed to be no such famous figure in the late Han Dynasty.

Number.

Looking further down, the second place in the total score is still Juluren, Juluren, Liuchu.

Still don't know him.

The third place, Julu man, Zhang Dian, I don’t know.

Fourth place, Zhang Guo. I don’t know him.

Fifth, I don’t know Zhao Ji.

…

Li Mengxi looked at fifty people and found no one who had any impression.

That is to say, among the hundreds of scholars, there is not a single famous person from the Three Kingdoms.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but think that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it seemed that in the entire late Han Dynasty, there was no famous figure in Julu, not even one.

After thinking deeply, Li Mengxi came up with the reason. The Yellow Turbans spread their horns and raised a huge deer, which was responsible for the rebellion. According to the practice of the feudal dynasty, what should be done to deal with the area of ​​​​riots? Probably, it is better to kill a thousand than to let go.

Pass one person.

Why was no one in Julu famous in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms? The answer is very bloody. Ninety percent of the people in Julu were killed, almost all of them were dead. How could there be any people left, and how could anyone be famous in troubled times?

Originally, under normal development, Julu would have been massacred and cleaned up. However, when the rebels came, the Zhuozhou rebels not only gathered the remaining Yellow Turbans, but also expelled the official army. Julu was now at peace, and the brutal massacre that had occurred was gone.

In other words, many Julu people who should have disappeared in the long river of history, many Julu people who were educated and literate, survived.

The previous guess was correct. Considering the huge population base of the scholars in Julu County, how could the talent of one county be comparable to that of the small local scholars in Zhuozhou County?

You don’t know if you don’t know, but it is indeed the case.

The top hundred on the list are all Julu people, all scholars from the Rebel Junzi Camp.

Li Mengxi continued to check, and checked, and finally found the number one hundred and thirty. He finally found a Zhuozhou native place.

Looking down, Li Meng saw the name, [Fu Shiren].

"Hey?!" Li Mengxi was surprised.

This name is very familiar, very familiar!

Li Mengxi's face was full of surprise. He frowned and thought for a long time. After thinking about it, Li Mengxi remembered that the Fu Shiren he was talking about was the one who surrendered to Soochow with Mi Fang and then killed Guan Yu.

This person, this guy is actually from Zhuozhou?!

Li Mengxi stared down at Guan Yu with wide eyes.

Guan Yu noticed the strange look in Li Mengxi's eyes. Guan Yu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Li Mengxi and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What are you looking at me for?"

"Oh!" Li Mengxi came back to his senses, "It's nothing." He said casually.

Originally, Li Mengxi was still upset because he had not met a well-known figure, but in the end, he finally met one, a traitor.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but think about how to find a reason to drive away Fu Shiren, or simply kill him.

But thinking about it again, there were fifteen scholars from Zhuozhou, plus one Jian Yong. Among these sixteen, the one with the best results was the future traitor Fu Shiren.

This person is quite knowledgeable.

The purpose of this imperial examination was to recruit talents, and it was promised that the examination would be based on merit. As a result, the most outstanding among the scholars in Zhuozhou was excluded, in order to avoid being too narrow-minded.

Rationally speaking, in the interest of public service and justice, one should not treat future traitors and today's Zhuozhou scholar Fu Shiren as strangers, but it is impossible not to mind at all.

As the saying goes, three years old looks like eighty years old.

Li Mengxi recalled that there were more than a dozen scholars in Zhuozhou, and he did not know which one among them was named Fu Shiren, but among the dozen scholars, all were adults.

A three-year-old can see eighty, and adults in their twenties and thirties can even see eighty.

There are differences between people, and human nature is hard to change. Fu Shiren and Mi Fang surrendered, but they had to replace Zhou Cang. How could Zhou Cang be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?

As he continued to read, Li Mengxi's thoughts suddenly changed. He thought of a way to have both ends of the world. This Fu Shiren was not loyal enough, so he should not be placed in a key position. If someone like Fu Shiren Mi Fang were placed in Shu Han

In the rear, officials who govern the people can also play a role and contribute.

Not placing it in a key position does not mean it is unimportant. It can be used in places that do not need to undergo strict postgraduate examinations. For example, if it is not arranged to defend the city, it can be arranged to train troops or to govern the people.

Liu Bei asked beside him if he had found Jian Yong's whereabouts.

Li Mengxi searched for a long time and found Jian Yong where there were about 300 people.

Liu Bei came over to take a look and saw that Jian Yong, who had high hopes for him, was ranked very low. Liu Bei looked embarrassed.

Li Mengxi pointed out, "That's right. There are several hundred people in our Junzi camp, which is a gathering of talented people from all over Julu County. The number of scholars from Jianxian and Zhuozhou County exceeds half of the entire Julu County. We can see that our knowledge is solid."

Even so, Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed when he saw that none of the scholars in Zhuozhou were outstanding.

Jian Yong and other scholars were so crushed by the Julu people that they could not get out of their heads. Liu Bei felt that it was difficult to explain to his fellow villagers, but at the same time, he was very excited.

Liu Bei knew very well what Jian Yong's knowledge was, but in the current scientific examination, there could be hundreds of people who scored higher than Jian Yong.

Liu Bei read the score file over and over again. After reading it several times, he was still not satisfied. Liu Bei sighed with emotion, "All the talents are in my collection!"

It's amazing. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had the same sentence when he saw the civil servants filing out of the imperial examination.
