The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Immediately after the imperial examinations began, twenty printing craftsmen from the cabinet came to the small courtyard where the examiners lived.

In the previous two days, Li Zhao had neatly copied one of the three test papers that he and Song Qingyue had produced together with a hard ink-stained pen.

Craftsmen are required to print [-] copies.

Song Qingyue had nothing to do at the back, walking in the yard with her stomach upright, when she suddenly remembered the problem of printing test papers.

In the TV series I watched in my previous life, there were all kinds of exams.

Some asked the chief examiner to scream out the questions, some posted a big-character poster at the front, and some proctors paraded around the examination room with big-character posters written with the test questions, but they did not distribute the printed test papers.

However, the fact is that the printed test papers are issued.

Fortunately, the scientific examination questions at this time are the same as the composition questions in the previous life, and they are not long. Even engraving and printing are very simple.

But how to print the test paper with so many words and symbols in mathematics?
Really curious, Song Qingyue went straight to the front.

Li Zhao and the scroll printing officials are supervising the craftsmen carving wooden boards.

When the others saw the princess coming, their expressions changed, and they immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look any further.

Li Zhao was surprised for a moment, but he didn't blame Song Qingyue for running to the front without authorization, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Why are you here?"

Song Qingyue smiled and said, "I'm curious how you printed the papers, can I have a look?" She put her hand on Li Zhao's outstretched hand.

"Of course you can come here." Li Zhao pulled her to his side and hugged her, and asked in a low voice, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Song Qingyue nodded with a smile, and stretched her neck to see the engraving of the masters.

Well, yes, they are actually using wooden engraving blocks. Fortunately, each one is a skilled worker.

They are all masters who have participated in the engraving of Li Zhao's "Equations, Functions, and Linear Programming". They are all used to this horizontal writing mode, and they are also very good at engraving Arabic numerals.They can not only carve Arabic numerals, but also various mathematical operation symbols, and even geometric figures can be carved very skillfully.

Amazingly fast.

"Why not use movable type printing?" Song Qingyue asked in a low voice.

Li Zhao answered briefly: "Mathematical calculations are not easy to arrange, and it is inconvenient to do it. It is not as fast as engraving."

"Is that so?"

Song Qingyue suddenly remembered a mimeograph technique of engraving stencils that her mother had mentioned before.

When this Enke exam is over and she can go out from this small courtyard, she will go home and study.

In the future, she will publish a problem set, and printing is also a big problem!
Ah, by the way, this year's scientific examination questions will probably need to be reprinted in the future.

In the future, she will publish a copy of "15 Years of Imperial Examinations, Nine Years of Simulation", which will be sold on sale!

Although the engraving is troublesome, twenty masters carved it together, and it took nine days to complete the carving.

Every time they finished carving a board, after trial printing, it had to be handed over to Li Zhao for proofreading before it could be officially printed.

Song Qingyue was also idle when she was idle, sitting on the sidelines and helping with proofreading.

The paper printing officer's eyes were wide open, and he stared in surprise at Princess Jin who was proofreading the test paper carefully.

This day, like a book, she could understand something that she didn't understand at all!

She must understand, right?
Otherwise, how can His Highness trust her to do such an important job?
But even if she understood, seeing such a woman with a big belly sitting here proofreading the test papers for the scientific examination, the paper printing officer felt uncomfortable no matter what!
Li Zhao looked at the faces of the paper printing officers, and said with a light smile, "Don't be too surprised, the questions on the first two papers were written by the princess herself."

What? ! !
The faces of the three printing officials turned even paler!
There was even a layer of sweat on the back!
One of the roll printers even wanted to say something, but was stopped by another roll sealer.

"Don't worry about it! This is Song Cifu's daughter!" He whispered.

That's right, she is Song Cifu's daughter, and her family has a long history!
What's the surprise she knows?
As long as you don't make mistakes and don't cause fraud, the princess knows this, so what's the point of coming over to help proofread the test papers?

No no no.

Just now His Royal Highness made it clear that the questions of the first two test papers were given by the princess.

This is this...

Does Your Majesty know?
Do the rest of the examiners know?
What does this mean?
The scroll official had a headache thinking about it! !

His legs are weak!
"Let's just print the papers, and don't worry about the rest!" The other paper printing officer warned again.

With a pale face, he gasped and nodded, "Yes, yes, don't worry about the rest, let's just print the papers. If there are no mistakes in the papers, as long as the questions are not leaked."

In fact, the printing officer thought in his heart that even if it was leaked, it probably wouldn't be a big problem, at least he couldn't understand it himself.

He is also a dignified Jinshi, okay?

Although it is a fellow Jinshi of the top three.

But even so, he is still a Jinshi!
I can't understand it at all.

And that beautiful little woman with a big belly can understand it!

Ah, by the way, he almost forgot again, not only could he understand it, but she was the one who wrote the title.

The record printing official suffered a critical blow of 100 million points, and he was so broken that he even wanted to quit his job.

His whole world is turned upside down!

Fortunately, he was only responsible for printing the papers. After printing the papers and sealing them, their work was over.

In the end, the entire engraving and printing work was completed the day before the exam.

The time card is just about right.

Seeing that the paper printing officers sealed the printed papers, they solemnly handed them over to Li Zhao.

Song Qingyue rolled her eyes, and said a few words in Li Zhao's ear.

Li Zhao laughed and scratched her nose: "You are the only one who is clever! Good! After the exam is over, ask them to print [-] copies."
