The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

At this moment, Sheng Yuan, who is completely immersed in the second question, has the meaning of not knowing the geometry of the years, as if she has earned a vacuum in the passing time, countless time like stars shuttles around her , but she is still thinking and writing as usual.

And there are many candidates in the examination room who are in a similar state to her.

The college examination continues, the candidates are still going all out, and the examiners have already seen the answers that have been constructed through hard work.

Different from the county examination and the government examination, there are requirements for the examiner to mark the papers of the college examination. Generally speaking, only the official examiner can read it in person.

Of course, the requirements belong to the requirements, and the regulations belong to the regulations. If the examiners are really required to read hundreds of examination papers in person...it is easy for the examiners to equate with consumables.

Probably the imperial court also considered this issue. After all, no matter how easy it is to get talents, it is not such a waste of money. Therefore, the imperial examiners invited people with good knowledge, high integrity and integrity to mark the examination papers. Of course, these examination paper examiners must be far away Only bachelors other than bachelors are allowed. After all, it is necessary to ensure that the examiners have no interest relationship with the candidates, so as to prevent the candidates from trying to find ways to make the exam fairer.

Of course, these are all the rules before this imperial examination. Since the imperial examination started, the marking requirements have been changed since the imperial examination. In the first round, all staff can write silently. For the second round of debate, the Ministry of Rites requires The chief examiner has read it.

The key to this requirement lies in the word "Xi", which also means that although the marking can still be done by the invited marking officer, the examiner must also read the articles of all the students in the examination room one by one, and cannot divide the work with other examiners .

This means that no matter how many examiners there are, the total number of papers they need to read is the same.

Of course, although the marking time is tight and the tasks are heavy, it doesn't matter. The examiners in charge of marking are not ordinary people. As elites who have undergone several assessments, they have also practiced the level of judging articles with a glance.

In other words, whether an article can get a high score, as long as you roughly scan the beginning, structure, and end of the article, you can roughly know its score and ranking.

This ability of the examiners has greatly increased the speed of marking the papers and at the same time greatly reduced the number of papers to be graded.

In many cases, there are thousands of test papers, and it is not bad to have one tenth of them worth reading and analyzing carefully.

From thousands of test papers to hundreds of test papers, the reduction is not only a zero before the decimal point, but also the emotional burden of the examiners.

The chief examiner only needs to ensure the top [-] rankings, who will be admitted and who will not be admitted in the remaining crowd, and the ranking of the people after the [-]th will be naturally distributed to the invited bachelors.

One hundred test papers sounds like a lot, but the time given for grading papers in the college examination is very generous, and it is not a problem to read an average of more than a dozen test papers a day.

Of course, since the Yan Dynasty, in order to ensure the fairness of the examination, the range of examination papers for the chief examiner also includes the students who failed the ranking, mainly to see if their examination papers are really unqualified, so as to prevent the examiners and marking officers from helping to cheat.

As mentioned here, the examiners mainly focus on the two types of examination papers with different levels, one at the beginning and the other at the end, so they are naturally prone to sometimes admiring the case and sometimes laughing.

For example, Yin Chenwen of Shuntian Mansion and Yan Xuezheng are in such a mood at the moment.

As mentioned above, because of the venue, the examination room is set up in many places, and the case chiefs of the county examination and government examination are basically concentrated in the examination room of the Shuntian Prefecture Government Office.

This is preferential treatment for outstanding students, but it does not mean that the examination room of Shuntian government office is full of outstanding students.

In view of the two examinations of the county examination and the government examination, the number of admissions is very large, especially the county examination, as long as there is no negligence, it is basically possible for all members to pass the test. , the basic skills are solid, and they can easily grasp the Five Classics and Four Books questions that are not comparable to those in the provincial examination, but they may be a little numb when facing political questions.

Of course, the candidate's claws are not terrible, but they are afraid of letting themselves go and talking big.

Even the well-informed Fu Yin Chen Wen and Yan Xuezheng sometimes have to be shocked by the candidates' imagination and dare to write and speak.

Chen Wenhe Yan Xuezheng: It's very strange, how did candidates who answered the political questions so freshly, refinedly and with a unique style, pass the election and get the qualification for the children's examination? !
Speaking of this, I need to say the last thing. Due to the change of the examination questions this time, the examination papers with five questions will be collected by the examination papers after each question is answered. After checking the names, they will be piled up in random order. Put it in front of the examiner's case.

If the three questions required to be answered on the examination paper have been answered, the examinee does not want to continue, he can go to the rest area of ​​the examination room to take a break, wait until the door of the examination room opens, and go out with other candidates.

Other candidates who want to continue to answer can continue to write until the paper is handed in.

This request was originally considered for the marking officers, allowing them to mark the papers in advance during the boring and long examination process to reduce the workload later.

But now, Fu Yin Chen Wen doesn't really want to accept this favor.

In his opinion, this request has no benefit at all except to let him catch his breath in advance.

Just like at this time, he smiled angrily at a test paper.

The examination question was about the key points of the administration and defense of the city, but this son proposed the idea of ​​asking the storyteller to make up jokes for the enemy army on the tower, and also said that "it will be difficult to make them laugh"!
After reading this sentence, Chen Wen really thought of [The enemy army is attacking the city, and there is a sound of storytelling on the city;Morale dances with the flag, but the flag wave is invisible; looking outside the city from a distance, thousands of troops laugh hard. 】The scene.

The moment this scene appeared in front of his eyes, Chen Wen was startled!

There are only a few words in this statement, and the picture floats when you see it!

"It's so ridiculous!" Chen Wen gritted his teeth and stamped a downgrade.

Still not reconciled to this, after thinking about it, I picked up a pen and wrote, "Imagine freely instead of dancing in reality. Those who are not convinced can sometimes go to the battle for a personal test. Those who return, the examiner will say well."

The translation of this sentence means "Boy, let you let go of your imagination, not let you dance on the basis of the actual situation! If you don't accept it, find a chance to go to the front line and try it! Your method is so good that you can come back alive. Examiner, I lose!"

From this, it can be seen how angry he was with this paper.

Probably because his mood fluctuated too much, he attracted the attention of Yan Xuezheng, who had read a lot of test papers and was about to drink tea to suppress the shock.

Hearing Chen Wen's complaints, Yan Xuezheng said that he was insignificant: "If Mr. Chen is so angry that he can't help himself, he should read these answer sheets."

Handing over several test papers for review, he said with a smile: "In these test papers, some people suggested casting iron sheets on the edge of the enemy's siege wall and burning it red with charcoal, so that the enemy who climbed up could not touch it. Climb."

"..." Chen Wen was dumbfounded, and murmured, "Where did this talent come from!"
