Chapter 414: Incredible (Monthly Pass)
Early in the morning, there was a burst of cold air on the ground, but outside the Luoyang County School, it was already crowded.
I saw a large number of students entering in a row. The county exams are the most lively every year because there are too many candidates and most of the other exams have requirements, but everyone can take the county exams.
Luoyang County is originally a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are more than 3,000 candidates, which is unprecedented.
This year is obviously a little more people than in previous years, but this year's examination is much stricter than in previous years. Thousands of imperial guards and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp surrounded the place, completely looking like they were ready to go.
After the bell rang, the candidates rushed in, squeezing me and I squeezed you.
At this time, the Warriors Camp arrived.
It was strange that the crowd that had just pushed and shoved suddenly became docile sheep, and became humble, and no one dared to push and shovate anymore.
Qiu Ba of the Warriors camp lined up to enter the examination room, but no one blocked the way. These candidates were all like angry lions just now, but suddenly, the saints' benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness were put into their bodies, and they all gave up their way and let the people from the Warriors camp go in first.
Chen Kaizhi really watched Qiu Bamen in the Warriors Camp enter from afar. He, Su Chang and others could only wait outside, so the group simply ordered pastries in the nearby teahouse, drank hot tea, and waited slowly.
"Sir, do you think they passed the exam?"
Su Chang couldn't help asking, and he frowned slightly, showing a bit of worry.
Speaking of which, he was not sure, and he felt very unsure of letting a group of Qiu Ba take the exam, so he looked at Chen Kaizhi with a serious look, hoping that Chen Kaizhi could give him a positive answer.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "I guess you should know this better than me."
Su Chang smiled embarrassedly. This is the truth. He is with them every day, so he naturally knows these people better than the instructor Chen Kaizhi.
It is difficult to say the questions in the county exam, but it is easy to say, but it is actually very easy.
Because this is just a primary exam, the scope of the exam will not be separated from the Four Books and Five Classics. If you don’t read the Four Books and Five Classics deeply, this exam will be more difficult than reaching the sky. If you memorize it in your heart, it will be easier.
Chen Kaizhi looked downstairs from afar, watching the place being defended by the three floors of the three floors, and an extremely tense atmosphere was everywhere, and he couldn't help but laugh.
This scene is really a bit exaggerated. This is probably what the cabinet means. It is because so many people are guarding it. In fact, I am just afraid that the Qiu Ba of the Warriors Camp will cause something.
He sighed in his heart, then he just waited here, but after looking at the sun outside the window, it was still very early, and I guess I had to wait today.
Chen Kaizhi was not in a hurry and slowly drank tea. After an hour, he saw a car frame of the Ministry of Rites officials arrive, hurried in, and then hurried out, obviously conveying some orders, or asking about the situation here, someone from above asked about the Luoyang County exam.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who came out looked relieved and obviously did not get any bad news, and then left in a hurry.
It was not until the evening when the sunset was covered with the sky, and the exam was finally over. County Magistrate Deng, who had been sitting in the county Xueminglun Hall, felt like he was reborn after a disaster.
There was nothing wrong.
God is really blessed. It seems... I am strictly guarding here, which finally made those Qiu Ba dare not act rashly.
However, judging from the report of the clerk, it is said that Qiu Ba and others who took the exam in the examination room performed very seriously. This situation is incredible. What is the name of this? To put it bluntly, are these guys literate?
He did not dare to be negligent, so he stood up. When the candidates disperse, he hurriedly said to the clerk beside him: "Immediately, I'll report you safely, I'll report you to Chen Gong for peace. He's too worried about this."
The clerk left in a hurry.
Immediately afterwards, County Magistrate Deng began to order people to seal the collected papers, and then make a name aside, and then, they need to review them.
But he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Will the Qiu Ba from the Warriors camp not make trouble in the exam room, but make articles on the test paper? Thinking of this, he became alert again.
That night, the county school officials began to gather together with him to stay here for the review of the papers.
Thousands of test papers look vast, but the county test papers are very simple to review. The question released today is the "Chun Guan Zongbo" chapter of "The Book of Zhou", which is just for the candidates to write down. After that, they will write a "Yao Yue" chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" to write the meaning of this article.
The test questions are randomly drawn, which cuts off the possibility of many people taking advantage of their mistakes. It is too difficult for a person who cannot master the Four Books and Five Classics to try it out by luck.
It is precisely because of this that it is easy to mark the papers. The school officials present, including County Magistrate Deng, recited the Four Books and Five Classics in a flash, and scanned them quickly with their eyes. If they felt that there was no problem, they would take a closer look at the explanation and roughly draw a red circle, which was considered qualified.
But if you can't write it down at the beginning, you naturally don't have to read it down and just throw it away.
Therefore, the marking work progressed very smoothly.
In less than an hour, seven or eight people had read more than 500 papers.
At this time, everyone was a little tired, so a clerk poured tea and served pastries. Everyone gathered together to eat it for a break.
"Mr. County Duke, I just counted it. There were more than 500 papers, and there were more than 70 people in high school. This... is really a bit incredible."
"Huh?" County Magistrate Deng looked at the county teacher and couldn't help but say in surprise: "So many?"
"Yes, the teacher is a teacher, and I know everything about the exams in previous years. Last year, there were more than 4,000 people, but only 3,400 people admitted. Therefore, the county exam will not be able to get one out of ten. This year, there are only 500 papers approved, but there are only 708 people. Isn't this just seven or eight people? This is incredible. This has never happened in previous years."
"Is that true?" County Magistrate Deng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses and sighed worriedly before saying, "Maybe, it just happened that the articles were in front, behind..." He shook his head and smiled bitterly, not having too much hope.
There are also test papers for 300 people in the Warriors camp here, and they definitely cannot win. Since so many people in the front have won, the articles afterwards are a mess.
Everyone was also smiling. In fact, everyone understood County Magistrate Deng’s worries, but no one helped him and didn’t continue to say anything.
After finishing the pastry, I naturally continued to mark the papers, but...
This terrible phenomenon continues to occur, and still seven or eight people still win one, so that County Magistrate Deng felt that he had seen a ghost. Fortunately, he was calm. This is a good thing after all. If so, wouldn’t there be six or seven hundred county students who can win this year?
This number may be shocking in ordinary small counties. After all, in some places, there are not so many people taking the county exam. Even in some barren areas, it is good to have seventy or eighty people taking the exam a year, but this is Luoyang. Now the pre-win rate is so high, which is... a good thing.
County Magistrate Deng then began to be happy and couldn't help but say, "Maybe it's because this year, scholars are willing to study hard."
Some people also took the opportunity to flatter, "This is all the credit for the education of the county magistrate."
County Magistrate Deng smiled and accepted this flattery, but he couldn't say anything and showed modesty.
This night was a pleasant night for County Magistrate Deng. Most of the papers were counted, and the number of people who were selected was as high as 500. County Magistrate Deng even believed that when all these papers were read, the number of people might be more than 700. He couldn't help but think: "Is it because the questions this year are easy?"
No, this question is not easy either.
It was bright and all the examiners slept for a while, and then continued to cheer up and mark the papers.
The next day, Chen Kaizhi went to Wenlou to pay duty again.
This kind of boring reading has made Chen Kaizhi tirelessly annoyed. He really hated the Analects of Confucius and the "Study" thoroughly. Damn, it has been repeated thousands of times. Mi Yi, the old guy, said he had done it, but he was still reciting it over and over again.
Chen Kaizhi recorded a stack of paper, and the contents in the paper were always repeated, "Zi said: Learn and practice it from time to time...", and then he wrote it and continued to write it. Chen Kaizhi even wanted to simply write the words "About 1,000 times below" in the record. However, as a servant, he could not be so willful. This is a meticulous work. He had to record everything that someone in this palace said, and he could not miss a word.
Faced with such a job, Chen Kaizhi felt even more uncomfortable than death, and couldn't help but complain. Mi Yi really didn't know how to adapt at all!
But when I thought about it, Chen Kaizhi felt that Mi Yi was not ignorant of adapting, but Mi Yi wanted to go against him from the bottom of his heart.
Mi Yi is still the same today. The little emperor yawned lazily, drooping his head and looked absent-minded. This was another boring day, and Chen Kaizhi said sadly in his heart.
Mi Yi finally spoke dryly and asked the eunuch to change his tea. The eunuch had just brought the tea, but the little emperor suddenly said: "Zi said, learn and practice it from time to time..."
His voice was very tender, as if he was teasing someone.
Mi Yi had just drunk tea and looked listless and wanted to continue reading. At this time, he heard the little emperor saying, "Zheng said: Learn and practice it from time to time." But he suddenly put down the teacup, trembling all over, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what did you... say..."
The little emperor smiled and said, "The Master said: Learn and practice it from time to time..."
"What else?"
