Speaking of which, this young man who scored 59 points, was beaten by his father that night. He went out early the next morning. He asked the servant to drive the carriage to his house, a man from his brothers. He asked the guard to call him out the person.

"Why are you so early today?" His brothers hurried out after breakfast and asked.

"Come up, I have something to tell you." said the fifty-nine points.

"What?" His brothers got on the carriage as they said.

"You have also heard about yesterday." When the other party got into the car, he sighed fifty-nine times and said to him: "Your academic performance is not much better than mine, and this time I think about it."

"Oh..." As soon as he talked about this topic, his brothers began to sigh. His father and brother had already mentioned this to him last night. Today it was their turn to take arithmetic class. This time, he couldn't hide.

"Although this is a bit inappropriate, but..." The fifty-nine points took out a wrinkled test paper from his sleeve and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

"This..." His brothers looked a little hesitant.

"Don't rely on full marks, just get an eight or ninety-tenths, just don't be beaten." Fifty-nine points said to his brothers.

"Yeah!" Their brothers were moved! They accepted the test paper very seriously, and on the way to the Imperial Academy, the two of them carefully studied the test paper in the car.

When they started taking arithmetic class this day, the guys really saw the young Assistant Luo coming in with a stack of test papers, and then divided the test papers into several parts, allowing the students in the front row to pass them back.

The guys are beating their hearts, sweating in their palms, cheating for the first time in his life, he feels very, very nervous!

When I finally got the paper and picked up my pen and was about to answer the question, I found something wrong. The first calculation question of the test paper he saw this morning was clearly 127=? Looking at the test paper he was holding at this time, the first calculation question was 199=?

no the same?!!!

The guys only felt that the pounding in their chests was getting more intense. They barely suppressed their panic and carefully checked the paper from beginning to end. It was indeed different, and the question was different!

At this time, I went to look at the head of the case again, and saw the line of big words on it that read: The first tenth day of the Taixue Arithmetic Examination in November of the 11th year of Zhenguan (2).

(2)! It turns out to be (2)!

Yes, if there is (1) there is (2), otherwise what is the use of that (1)?

Woo... it's over... it's over...

Among the four classes of the Imperial Academy, the foundation of the class yesterday was the worst, so when Luo Yong set the questions for them, the difficulty was also set at the lowest. Today, the difficulty of this test paper was slightly raised to the top, not much, but it was enough to make some poor students wail.

The most difficult part is still the last application question. Two villages jointly build a canal. Work is carried out according to the irrigation area of ​​each village. If one of the villages has less work, it will pay for it. The question of racing against the tortoise and hare is also similar to that of the tortoise and hare. Many students will be confused when they encounter such questions.

But even so, there were two full marks in this class. Luo Yong immediately sent them ten bamboo sticks, each of which could have a meal. In the next two months, they could spend as long as they could, as long as they had something in the shop, they could do whatever they had.

In addition, you can also bring people there, but you can take a few people, and each person will consume a bamboo stick for each meal. If someone brought nine friends over on the day, and he only had ten of them himself, then his breakfast for the past ten days would be like he had finished all of them.

"Xie Dalang, let's go to the sister's food shop for breakfast tomorrow?" Xie Dalang is very popular on weekdays, and today he got full marks, so a few students in the class came together.

"Want to eat?" Xie Dalang smiled and said, "You can go to the exam yourself."

"Hey...stingy." If the full score is really that easy to take, they will definitely take the exam by themselves.

Then the next morning, Xie Dalang took his wife and children to the sister's food shop for breakfast.

At this time, people got married early and got married in their teens. Many people became parents in less than 20 years. So in their school, many students actually had wives and children. It was normal to take their families out for breakfast.

"I wonder if Assistant Luo has told you about this?" When she first went there, Xie Dalang was a little worried that Luo Yong and the shop had not communicated well enough, and he thought that if it really didn't work, he would pay for a meal by himself.

"Hey, I said, how many of you are?" Xu Dalang's eldest son hurried over to greet him. Aunt Luo has been reminding them in the past few days that they should be more careful about these people who have come from the Imperial Academy and never hinder Sanlang.

"My wife and children, a total of four people." Xie Dalang said and handed over four bamboo sticks.

Xu Dalang's eldest son leaned out of the window and saw her wife standing not far away with a girl holding a girl in her hand. There was an old woman next to her, holding a little baby in her arms, looking like she was not yet one year old.

"My husband said that children under the age of one year do not need bamboo sticks, and children less than three feet tall are only half a sign. If the old woman there doesn't eat, you four will only have two and a half signs." Xu Dalang's eldest son said.

"It's so." Xie Dalang smiled. He originally thought that it would be good if Luo Sanlang could provide him with a few breakfasts as he said. Unexpectedly, the other party did it better than he expected. In this way, the ten bamboo sticks in his hand would be enough for the four of their family of four meals. He turned around and looked at his wife, and he was really happy to see her at this time.

The few of them ordered not much at first, so they ordered two plates of corners, a bowl of red date soy milk drink, a bowl of soy milk, a bowl of canned pears, a bowl of canned peaches, and two skewers of fish balls.

The eldest son of Xu Dalang helped them bring the things to an empty seat in the hall, and said, "Wait a minute, if you want something else, go to the counter at any time and click."

"It's really good." After Xu Dalang's eldest son left, Xie Dalang's wife said with a smile.

"Then you eat more, it will be worthwhile to do your hard work for the exam." Xie Dalang smiled.

The family of four had breakfast together. The eldest daughter was a little older and could eat it under the care of her parents. The younger daughter was held in the arms of the servant and fed her some red dates and soy milk drinks.

After a few bites, the little girl shouted to eat her mother's canned food. Her mother also fed her a few bites of pear water, and then ate a whole piece of date bean cake. Then she burped and refused to eat it again.

On this side, the eldest daughter and Aye sat face to face and ate the slots. They finished both slots, and some were still unsatisfied.

So the little girl went to the counter to order a plate of dumplings and ordered another bowl of canned peaches. She couldn't finish the second bowl of canned food, so she took it over and swept it away in a few bites.

After breakfast, Xie Dalang was still going to school, so his wife asked him to leave first. He had just eaten his fill and sat here before leaving.

"The next response is that Dalang is not going to school to eat." After Xie Dalang left, his wife said to his maid, "The breakfast was really good today, but it was a little rushed."

"Then you will tell him next time." The servant laughed.

"I want it." Xie Dalang's wife smiled, then pushed the half bowl of canned food in front of him in front of the servant, and said, "I can't eat this half bowl anymore. Why don't you eat it for me?"

"This..." The servant lady looked around. When they first came in, the husband said that she would not eat. If she ate again, what if she was interested, she would say...

"No problem, you will eat it." The young woman reached out and took her little daughter over: "Whoever wants to eat what I have eaten? Isn't it a pity to throw it away? You will eat it, and after we finish eating, we will go back."

"Oh." The servant responded, picked up the bowl of canned pears and started eating.

She was a servant brought by Xie Dalang's wife from her parents' home. She was also an old servant who watched the little lady grow up. When she got married, she followed her to her husband's home and was quite close to each other.

Their young lady has a good appetite recently. What can I not eat with such a bowl of canned food? Isn’t it just for her old servant to stay for her?

Pears are not rare in their Chang'an City. They are also quite a lot in autumn, but after winter, they become rare. It is difficult for ordinary people to eat them. The weather is very cold these days, and it is inevitable that they will be a little dry when burning a fire at home. If you eat half a bowl of canned pears, you can moisten your heart and lungs.

Their family was having breakfast together, and the servants at home benefited from it.

I heard that there are many young men in Chang'an City because of this exam these two days. It's so happy that some families are sad.

Luo Yong gave the four classes to the Imperial Academy. The test papers for each class are different, with a total of four copies.

These four test papers were also prepared since he came to Chang'an City.

The test questions were produced by him, and some of the materials were excerpted from some old books in the space. It was probably when he bought second-hand books in the university town that nearby residents also sold their children's old books together. Although the quantity was not large, it was enough to extract some of them for these Tang Dynasty students to use.

As for the carved plates, they are naturally Siniang and Wuro. These two people have carved the Book of Songs before, so these few papers are not difficult for them.

Luo Yong said that after the Imperial College classes finished the exam, they could print these few papers and sell them for money. Then the two siblings who almost had to get into the money went to work.

My brother said that it doesn’t matter if you can print more of this paper this time, it will definitely be because you won’t have to worry about sales. So on the days when the students from the Imperial College took the exam, the brother and sister were pushing their arms around at home to print the paper.

In order to ensure the printing quality, they still chose a relatively delicate paper, cut it into the same size as the carved sheet, the cost of each piece of paper is about half a cent, plus the cost of ink is less than one cent. This test paper is priced at 8 cents and sold at Ma's house. The price of Si Niang and the others to Ma's house is seven cents per piece.

For Ma's house, although this transaction is not much profitable, they are also willing to do it. People like them who open houses, especially those who want to do literati business, naturally want to make the house more cultural.

Luo Sanlang was willing to put the paper in their store to consign it. Not to mention selling one can make a penny, even if it doesn't make money, they are willing to sell it.

Recently, many scholars in Chang'an City have been discussing this ten-day exam paper in the Imperial Academy, especially the last few math questions, the tortoise and hare racing, the road construction in two villages, three people walking around the pool, each question makes them feel very novel.

In the past, in "The Sutra of Sun Tzu", there was a question about chickens and rabbits in the same cage. One or two hundred years have passed and they are still talked about. Now, although Luo Sanlang's four questions have some similarities with chickens and rabbits in the same cage, they still make people feel bright.

"I think the most wonderful thing is that his method of writing the papers is 100 points in the whole paper, with deep and shallow questions and scoring the questions. Finally, just look at the scores of these students and you will be able to see their arithmetic level at a glance."

Just when many people are talking about those application questions, there are also some people who are particularly sober. At this time, they have begun to realize the advanced nature of the scoring examination method. It is more detailed and transparent than the original examination method. It is clearer in every question and is less affected by human factors, so it is naturally more fair.

These days, the two halls upstairs and downstairs of Ma's Store have been fully staffed every day, and even the occupancy rate of the rooms behind them is particularly high.

After buying a test paper, the big and young men in Chang'an City often have to read and discuss it in their store. For the sake of convenience, and for the sake of more atmosphere, the people who care about this test paper in Chang'an City have been mostly concentrated in the Ma family guesthouse.

"Are you ready for the pen and ink?"

On this day, in a guest room on the second floor of the Ma Family Guest House, there were several young men who asked the servants to buy several test papers, each of whom scored them one by one. Then they found a comfortable location in the house, intending to take the exam like the students from the Imperial Academy.

"Which portion should we make?" One person opened the half folded paper in his hand and looked it out one by one.

"Of course, I'm doing the fourth part." Some people said. They also heard that the difficulty of these four papers is increasing. The first part is the simplest and the fourth part is the most difficult.

"I think I'd better make the first one." said a older man.

"I also think it's more appropriate to do the first one first. We haven't learned this kind of arithmetic specifically, so it's better to do the first one first and get familiar with it." Another other person in the house agreed.

"It's just that there are some differences in numerical symbols, and the methods of arithmetic are always almost the same." Some people disagree.

"Make the first one first." At this time, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes sitting by the window said lightly, and then the others in the room had no objection.

When you really start doing the test, these people will know that it is completely wise to do the first one.

Although these people studied in Imperial College, they were one level higher than the Taixue School and enjoyed better educational conditions than the Taixue School, they themselves did not go to a better school because their qualifications were better than those of the Taixue School, but because they were born better than those of those.

Some people even racked their brains to solve the problem of the tortoise and hare racing.

"Tsk, don't do it anymore, we don't have to compete with them for the results." Someone was really discouraged and simply threw the bamboo pen on the table and stopped doing it.

"You can make it easier for your father and brother at home to mention this matter in the past two days. Don't let the people of the Taixue leave us behind." The young man by the window closed the paper he had in his hand at this time and said.

This is the simplest test. He did it this time, let alone the full marks, I am afraid he would not even get the 80s, because he would not be able to do the last question. I heard that there were several students who got the full marks in the Taixue area, and this fact made him feel a crisis.

Although their fathers and brothers are ahead of those of the Taixue people, their generation may not be. Those seemingly indestructible families always have times of rise and decline. The development and prosperity of a family cannot always rely on the accumulation of ancestors. If future generations have no future, decline will become inevitable.

These people enjoy the convenience and benefits brought to themselves by the family, but at the same time, they must also have the awareness of taking responsibility and promoting the development of a large family.

A few days later, it was November 15th. For the small officials like Luo Yong and others, there were two major dynasties on the first and fifteenth day of each month, that is, the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

Luo Yong had never experienced such things as going to court before, but he had been to court once when he was a saint in front of him. This time he went to court with Hou Lin. Anyway, they live in the same yard now, so it is convenient to go out together.

A few days ago, Qiao Junlin got a full mark and got ten bamboo sticks from Luo Yong. Then he gave these bamboo sticks to Hou Lin.
