At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 171 Song Lian's Disciple Zhang Dingsheng, Future Great Scientist Ni Zan
In the meeting hall of the general's mansion, officials from various ministries have already come here to wait.

Liu Bowen was in the crowd, surrounded by Li Shanchang and others.

Li Shanchang looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Master Liu Jun, as the chief examiner of Confucianism today, have you found any outstanding candidates?"

Liu Bowen glanced at the people surrounding him, and said with a wry smile: "In this first exam, I didn't find it."

When Li Shanchang and the others heard the words, their eyes flashed with astonishment.

At this moment, Cheng De walked into the meeting hall.

After everyone saluted Cheng De, they stood in two rows.

The one on the left is Li Shanchang, and the one on the right is Lu Wuong.

Cheng De looked down at everyone present and said: "Today's first round of Confucianism is over. I called everyone over to ask you to correct the answer sheets of the first round. From now on, everyone will stay here to make corrections." Exam papers. As for Liu Bowen, he is the chief examiner of Confucianism, and there will be a strategy test for candidates in the near future. If there is nothing to do now, you can retreat and arrange it yourself."

After Liu Bowen bowed to Cheng De, he left the meeting hall under the gaze of everyone.

Afterwards, Cheng De gave an order, and in an instant, soldiers of the Sizhou Army entered the meeting hall with several desks and wooden chairs, and Xu Da brought in several boxes of examinee's answer sheets.

After the officials of each ministry sat down at their corresponding desks.

Cheng De looked at Xu Da and said, "Distribute the examinee's answer sheet to those present for correction."

Then, Cheng De looked around at the people present and said: "Be sure to finish the correction before dark today."

Everyone present nodded and said: "Yes."

After arranging this matter, Cheng De asked the cook in the general's mansion to arrange more lunches and send them to the meeting hall for the officials of the various ministries to eat.

After finishing these tasks, Cheng De withdrew from the conference hall, leaving the conference hall for the use of everyone present.

Regarding Cheng De's arrangement, everyone present had nothing to say.

After all, these exam questions were jointly produced by them, and they should also be responsible for correcting the test papers.

Time always flies by quickly, and the candidates who participated in the second round of Confucianism in the examination room on the other side have all sat down.

There are three blank sheets of paper on each candidate's desk.

The admission ticket number of the first test is different from that of the first test, and the candidates who take the second test need to draw their test admit card numbers again.

not long time.

Liu Bowen asked Xu Da to lead the soldiers of the Sizhou Army to distribute the test paper questions to the candidates.

When the candidates got the test paper questions, they found that there were only two questions on the whole paper.

The first topic: People with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no living to harm benevolence, and killing is to achieve benevolence.Please take this as an argument.

This is a topic of policy discussion made by the chief books of various ministries.

The second topic: On enclosure and chaos.

This topic was written by Cheng De.

At this time, Cheng De was staying in the barracks not far from the examination room, holding the policy question in his hand, thinking about how to answer the question if he was an examinee.

As time passed, Cheng De frowned.

Suddenly, Cheng De's brows relaxed a lot again.

This strategy test is probably the one that can screen out truly talented people.

Cheng De was secretly looking forward to this.

Afterwards, Cheng De put down the strategy test questions and began to inspect the barracks.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

When Cheng De returned to the General's Mansion, he found that the officials of the various ministries in the meeting hall were still immersed in correcting the examinee's answer sheets, but the answer sheets they corrected had been replaced by Confucianism's second lecture.

Seeing this, Cheng De quietly left and went to Luo Yan's house.

The next day.

Liu Bowen came to report that yesterday's examinee's answer papers were corrected day and night by the officials of various ministries, and now they have been corrected.

To be honest, when Cheng De learned the news from Liu Bowen, he was still extremely shocked.

These people are really too hard.

Cheng De asked Liu Bowen to compile a list of the top [-] according to the results of the exam.

Because this time Sizhou Army will only recruit the top [-] candidates.

Liu Bowen readily accepted the task, and then left in a hurry to get busy with it.

Because Cheng De is the chief examiner of science, after seeing Liu Bowen, he hurried towards the examination room.

When he arrived at the examination room, Cheng De found that Feng Sheng had maintained the order of the examination room, and the candidates had already sat down in the examination room.

When Feng Sheng saw Cheng Delai, he saluted Cheng De respectfully.

Afterwards, Cheng De asked Feng Sheng to distribute the test papers to the candidates.

At the same time, taking advantage of this time, Cheng De raised his head and looked at the candidates present, and found that there were less than a hundred candidates present.

Candidates at the scene frowned and thought hard after getting the math test paper questions.

And Cheng De passed by the candidates from time to time, hoping to find some good seedlings.

As a result, after several laps, Cheng De couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Few of the candidates who participated in mathematics present could satisfy Cheng De.

However, considering that there were few candidates for mathematics, Cheng De had no choice but to accept this reality.

The first science course ended in a dull manner very quickly.

The second science test was the basic general knowledge of the Sizhou Army. This subject was originally a sub-question, and most of the candidates answered all the questions correctly.This is a phenomenon that Cheng De discovered only after turning around a few times.

As for the third science course of medicine, Cheng De found that among the less than 60 candidates who took the science course, only more than [-] people finally took the exam.

To Cheng De's relief, the candidates who participated in the third science course of medicine had a lot of skills.Because before the start of the third round, Cheng De also pulled Wang Lu over to accompany him to invigilate the candidates. From Wang Lu, he knew that some of the candidates present were really capable, and their skills were not low.

Generally speaking, the invigilation of science subjects is mediocre.

As for the candidates for correcting the answer sheets after the science exam, Cheng De handed over the math answer sheets of the candidates in the first round to Fang Ming and other officials of the household department for correction, and the candidates in the second round of the basic general knowledge of the Sizhou Army answer sheet to Song Song. Zan and other officials from the Ministry of Rites made corrections. As for the medical answer sheets of the candidates in the third round, they were handed over to Wang Lu for correction.

The third day was the martial arts assessment.Deng Youde is responsible for this matter.

Cheng De is more concerned about the results of Confucianism and Science.

Today is not only the day of the martial arts assessment, but also the day when the results of Confucianism and Science are released.

This news was sent out by Cheng De yesterday.

Therefore, before dawn, candidates who had participated in Confucianism and Science came to the place where the list was posted to wait.

Zhang Dingsheng, from Zhangcun, formerly known as Zhang Ergou, studied at Sizhou College, and his teacher was Song Lian.

Due to his amazing talent in reading, Song Lian accepted him as a disciple and taught him in person.

This time, under Song Lian's suggestion, Zhang Dingsheng took both Confucianism and Science exams to try his own level.

Among the crowd waiting for the results list, Zhang Dingsheng looked very calm.

Yesterday, he spent two taels of silver to find out a piece of news from a soldier in the general's mansion: Confucianism scores are divided into the main list and the sub-list. Both lists were drawn up by chief examiner Liu Bowen. 100 people are ranked, and 100 people are ranked in the sub list.

Zhang Dingsheng secretly estimated his score, he felt that his score should be near the end of the main list.

According to Mr. Song's meaning, if he enters the main list this time, he will be considered as passing Mr. Song's assessment, and Mr. Song will teach him how to become a great Confucianist.

Of course, this is just my own guess. As for the specifics, I still need to read the list before I can completely rest assured.

suddenly.

In Zhang Dingsheng's gaze, the people on the left and right opposite him to the northwest automatically diverged into a path.

Looking closely, Zhang Dingsheng realized that it was the person who posted the main list and the sub-list.

I don't know how many ranks I rank?

With this thought in mind, Zhang Dingsheng looked at the person who posted the list and felt strangely familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was the adult who checked the information when I took the exam.

Ke Shancai looked at the eyes all around him looking at him, those eyes were full of tension and hope, and his body froze.

Hey, last time, I shouldn't have flattered the general.

It's okay now, because that time when I flattered the general, every time the general thought of such trivial matters, he would always let himself do it.

Ke Shancai shook his head, and unknowingly walked to the area where the list was posted.

Eight big Sizhou Army soldiers followed him, and each soldier looked extremely intimidating.

After Ke Shancai turned his head and gave these soldiers a look, these soldiers consciously began to put up the main list and sub-list of Confucianism scores on the left and right sides.

After posting Confucianism's list, Ke Shancai saw people rushing forward one after another, and quickly got out of the crowd.

After getting out, Ke Shancai let out a breath, and looked back at the scene of the sea of ​​people stretching their heads to look at the list, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ke Shancai looked away, he saw Zhang Dingsheng standing in front of him.

"It's you!" As soon as Ke Shancai saw Zhang Dingsheng, he remembered that he had met Song Lian several times before, and every time Song Lian was accompanied by Zhang Dingsheng.

Although Zhang Dingsheng was very puzzled, he still took the initiative to bow to Ke Shancai.

"Are you Mr. Song's disciple?" Ke Shancai looked at Zhang Dingsheng with a gentle expression.

Zhang Dingsheng nodded: "Yes. I am Mr. Song's new disciple."

When Ke Shancai heard this, he said, "With Mr. Song as your teacher, your future will be limitless."

Zhang Dingsheng shook his head: "The general once said that - the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. I am still far behind!"

"Why did you come here?" Ke Shancai looked at Zhang Dingsheng suspiciously.

Zhang Dingsheng replied: "I have taken the Confucianism and Science exams, this is the test Mr. Song set for me."

Ke Shancai couldn't help being speechless, looking at Zhang Dingsheng's immature face, he thought to himself: Mr. Song is indeed strict to take this kind of exam at such a young age!
"What's your name?" Ke Shancai looked at Zhang Dingsheng and asked.

Zhang Dingsheng: "My name is Zhang Dingsheng."

Ke Shancai: "Zhang Dingsheng? This name is so familiar! Let me think about it. Oh! I remembered that the directors of various ministries have argued several times because of the policy you wrote, so you don't have to go forward to look at the list. I remember your ranking! Your Confucian score is ranked seventh on the main list."

After Zhang Dingsheng heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: It seems that I have completed Mr. Song's test.

Seeing that Zhang Dingsheng remained silent, Ke Shancai thought that he was frustrated by his dissatisfaction with his grades, so he comforted him: "You don't have to feel discouraged. At your age, it's already pretty good to get such grades. Even if I personally went to the examination room, I may not be as good as you in the exam!"

After Zhang Dingsheng came back to his senses, he smiled and said: "I'm not discouraged, I just thought that Mr. Song's test on me has finally been completed. For a while, my mood was a little complicated. Well, it's complicated."

Seeing Zhang Dingsheng's appearance, Ke Shancai didn't say much.

"I still have something to do, so I left first. After a while, the list of science subjects will be announced in another area. If you are interested, you can go to that place to guard now." After Ke Shancai finished talking to Zhang Dingsheng, he left here.

After Zhang Dingsheng watched Ke Shancai leave, he walked towards the area where the list of science subjects was announced.

For example, the area where the results are announced, the General's Mansion has already informed everyone.

In the crowd, Ni Zan stared blankly at himself, who was ranked No.1 in the Confucian Science Vice-ranking list, and couldn't help feeling a bit stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

Regarding Confucianism scores, he had estimated it before, but he never thought that this ranking is too low.

Hey, it seems that I have underestimated the scholars in the world.

After sighing softly, Ni Zan quickly regained his composure.

This time, in the Sizhou City Imperial Examination, he applied for Confucianism and Science.

Now, he was going to take a look at the rankings of science subjects.

It didn't take long.

Ni Zan came to the ranking area of ​​the science list.

There is no main list and sub-list in this area, and there is only one list.

The number of people surrounding the science area is still relatively small, so Ni Zan looked back from No.1.

Suddenly, Ni Zan paused and his face was overjoyed.

He suddenly saw his name, ranked sixth.

However, not long after he was happy, he heard the voice of a person next to him: "Unexpectedly, I only got fifth in the exam, hey!"

Ni Zan's face froze, and when he looked at the speaker, he was shocked when he found that it was an immature face.

He is 51 years old now, and this immature face, after his judgment, is only 12 years old at most.

Unexpectedly, he lived most of his life, and lost to a 12-year-old child in the science exam.

Thinking of this, Ni Zan's previous joy was swept away.

Zhang Dingsheng noticed that a person's gaze was always on him, so he raised his head to meet that gaze, and found that it was an elderly person. The very polite Zhang Dingsheng saluted Ni Zan and said: "Old man , are you looking at the rankings on behalf of your children?"

Ni Zan's face darkened, and he turned his head away, not wanting to look at Zhang Dingsheng again.

I thought in my heart: This child's words are really irritating!
It seems that I was still watching the sky from a well before.

Thinking of this, Ni Zan calmed down and looked at Zhang Dingsheng: "Son, who did you learn from?"

Although Zhang Dingsheng didn't understand that Ni Zan ignored him just now, he didn't have any other thoughts because of it, so he replied directly: "My teacher's name is Taboo Song Lian."

When Ni Zan heard this, he was silent for a long while.

He had also heard about Song Lian's name.

I never thought that Song Lian's disciple was so outstanding, so how good should Song Lian be as his disciple's teacher?
After reading this, Ni Zan felt a kind of respect for Song Lian in his heart.

"Song Lian is a well-known Confucian, and I have heard of his name before. You have a bright future in the name of Song Lian."

After finishing speaking, Ni Zan nodded to Zhang Dingsheng and left here.

At his age, he didn't want to come out to be an official, but in order to win a fortune for his children, he still came.

More importantly, his wife Jiang Shi and his eldest son both suffered from a strange disease. He had inquired that this disease might be cured in Sizhou City.

The reason why Sizhou City can be cured is that there are many genius doctors in Sizhou City, each of which is good at different aspects of treatment.

However, those genius doctors are not within his reach, and the cost of treatment is probably not something he can afford.

He could only hope that with the help of Cheng De, the Sizhou conquest general, he could ask those genius doctors to treat his wife and eldest son.

To achieve this, he must be an official of the Sizhou Army system and make enough contributions to the Sizhou Army.

And he doesn't have any connections, so he can only participate in the selection and assessment of the Sizhou City Imperial Examination Pilot.

Thinking of his wife Jiang's condition and the condition of his eldest son, Ni Zan's face suddenly became more serious.

In the early years, he was born in a wealthy family, but in these years, he has spent all his family's wealth in order to treat his wife and eldest son, and now he is basically destitute.

As for Sizhou City, it was the last hope to heal his wife and eldest son.

Hey, how can I meet General Zhenglu?
Ni Zan looked up at the sky, feeling at a loss.
