When the outside world was undercurrents, Shuntian Gongyuan ushered in the third exam.

As the provincial examination is different, even if the first round of examination is completed, the test papers are submitted, but the candidates have to continue to stay in the examination house honestly.

This time, the test was a policy theory. More than 4,000 students knew that the chief examiner, Lin Shiran, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was an official who focused on practice. In "Talking about the Ancient and the Current", he once publicly proposed to increase the policy theory in the exam.

rating ratio.

It is precisely for this reason that many candidates learned that when Lin Weiran was the chief examiner, they worked hard for several days in a row, frantically making up for their shortcomings in this area.

When the paper was distributed, although many of them felt that they were fully prepared, they couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the test questions.

The first thing is whether there are similarities and differences between the budget and final accounts of various countries in ancient times?

The second way was that the Northern Song Dynasty formed a Jin Dynasty to conquer Yan and Zhao, and the Southern Song Dynasty assisted the Yuan Dynasty to attack Cai.

In the third chapter, Pei Du reported that the prime minister should recruit talents and advisers from all over the world, and ask for a private discussion.

The fourth way is that Zhou and Tang emphasize outside and underestimate inside, while Qin and Wei emphasize outside and heavy inside, each has its own opinions.

The fifth way is that Jia Yi’s theory of “five baits and three forms” was criticized by Ban Gu. However, Qin Mu once used it to dominate the Western Rong, and Zhongxing’s theory also used to warn the Shanyu, but his theory was not ineffective.

Although the candidates were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but feel a headache when they looked at these five strategies involving financial management, diplomacy, innovation, governance of the country and military.

"What is the budget? What is the final settlement?"

"Yan and Zhao? Are Yan and Zhao? Are there these two countries in the Northern Song Dynasty?"

"Cai Lun? Did you print the test questions wrong? It must be Cai Lun?"

...

Some candidates who were not prepared were confused when they saw these test questions and were completely confused.

However, some candidates said luckily: only three of these five questions need to be selected for answers, and the weight ratio has never been too high, maybe this time it will be the same.

"Yanzhao, Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures. Cai, Caizhou!"

Wang Shiju looked at the topic, but he felt relieved.

If it were in the past, he might have been blinded. He had just gone through a trip to Yangzhou and was begging Lin Qingran's disciple, but he had already gained his own insights.

In the exam room, some people are happy and some are sad.

Unlike the poor children, many officials have countless books in their homes, and they can expand their personal knowledge since childhood, so they feel more attentive.

As the test papers spread out, candidates from various tribute halls in the Gongyuan began to write on paper and wrote down their opinions in order to impress the examiner.

Three days later, the exam was announced and the candidates left the tribute school one after another.

After handing over the three test papers, their fate was no longer in their own hands, but they were directly handed over to the eight house masters and even to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites Lin Weiran.

Although the exam is over, the work of marking papers is still continuing. All test papers need to be approved ten days later and 300 high school candidates will be listed.

After more than 4,000 test papers in the third session were collected, the ink rolls were turned into red rolls after a series of anti-cheating processes, and then the eight bundles of test papers were given to the inner curtain officer on the opposite side through the number army on the bridge.

Lin Weiran has been under house arrest here. Although he is thinking about the situation outside, he knows more clearly that the only thing he can do is to preside over the review of this paper.

Lin Qingran led the examiners to take the test paper from the army, and did not greet Zhang Yue, the left deputy censor of the Censorate, who was opposite, and turned around and returned to Jukuitang if he ignored him tacitly.

Back at Jukui Hall, Lin Qingran distributed eight test papers to each room and warned Zhang Siwei and eight other examiners seriously: "This examination is essentially an innovation, and its significance is extraordinary.

It is already in your hands. I hope you can uphold fairness and treat every test paper fairly and fairly. In addition, the recommended test papers in each room must be done correctly. You must not favor the children of officials or help them.

Children of the poor family!"

By the way, problems have occurred in the current imperial examination. As more and more senior officials have high school Jinshi, such as Pan Yunduan, the son of former Zuo Deputy Censor Pan En, and Yang Junmin, the son of Yang Bo, the Minister of War, etc., the court and the public are cheating in the examination.

The doubts are getting louder and louder.

But there are not so many frauds in this test. For example, if Lin Qingran helped Yuan Wei's son Yuan Longhuang cheat, then Xu Jie would definitely take this to pull him off.

But many failed scholars think so. Through rich associations, they outline various conspiracies like keyboard warriors in later generations.

As a later generation, Lin Weiran, combined with the situation where the poor children of later generations were increasingly able to be admitted to higher education institutions, he knew that this was the inevitable result of the increasing concentration of educational resources on the children of officials.

Although it is said that "only you can get fame and fortune by studying hard in a while", even the talented and diligent scholars in a poor family want to get fame and fortune, it is useless if they do not have a qualified master.

It can be seen from the comparison of admissions from the imperial examination. The ratio of the poor children in the early Ming Dynasty (those who had not joined the official position for three generations) and the admissions from the imperial examinations from the imperial examinations was one to one, but by now the proportion of the children of the officials has increased to three parts.

two.

Even if it was Hai Rui, he was actually not a poor family, but also a child of an official. His grandfather Hai Kuan was the magistrate of Songxi County, Fujian Province after passing the imperial examination. However, his father Haihan was only a scholar and passed away early, so he made Hai

Every family has fallen into trouble.

It is precisely because educational resources are moving closer to the children of eunuchs, and the degree to which poor families have achieved fame continues to increase, but many people seem to be unaware of this problem and are more willing to point the finger at the examiner’s fraud simply and roughly.

As the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the imperial examinations, Lin Weiran first revealed the fact that the admission rate of poor children decreased through "Talking about the Ancient and the Current", which triggered extensive discussions among scholars, and then threw out the "Official Clip"

reform concept.

I thought this reform was difficult to promote, but I didn’t know that it was the senior officials who experienced the sufferings of Yang Bo, Fan En and other officials. After a round of court discussions, they successfully passed this reform plan.

That's why this exam used the "Official Clip", which means that the children of the official family and the poor family are distinguished.

This plan is not complicated to implement. The provincial examinations of the two capitals adopted the "dish-character script" model. Now only need to apply this model to the "official script".

In fact, this kind of reform is relatively unfavorable to the examiner.

It was originally possible that two hundred eunuchs could be recruited under his sect, but after this reform, he could only gather 150, which was undoubtedly a small loss.

When Lin Weiran first introduced this reform plan, he never expected that he would serve as the chief examiner of this year's examination, but he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

However, if there are mistakes in everything, there will be gains. Children from poor families will respect him more, and their relative desires may be lower, but it may not be a completely bad thing.

After getting rid of these messy ideas, Lin Weiran began to devote himself to this heavy work of reviewing the test papers.

Eight house teachers were responsible for screening test papers, and the deputy examiner forced himself to conduct the second round of screening, but he knew that his body could not bear it, and as long as it was not particularly bad test papers, it would not be easily knocked out.

This is also the scientific nature of setting up chief and deputy examiner. Once one examiner loses his or her chain, the other examiner still needs to make up for it so that there will be no major crash.
