Chapter 368 Exam
Chen Fan looked at the county magistrate beside him: "Let the yamen servants go to various academies in the city to inform them to prepare for the exam; ask each academies to report the specific information of the students."

The county magistrate agreed, and the group left the academy, and went to Jiatai Academy on the way back to the county office.Tong Junlan taught there.

The dean of the academy, Jing Taixing, was a Jinshi in the first year of Zaixi's Kai'en Department. He failed to be awarded an official, and he came back to teach after working as a teacher outside for a few years.

"Changping Academy is famous far and wide, it's a pity that Master Zhang left the academy." Jing Taixing looked regretful.

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "Master Zhang can also do something in Yuanshuo County, encouraging more students to pass the exams and even Jinshi."

"However, Yuanshuo County is far from having so many outstanding students. They were able to pass the [-] Juren examinations all at once. God blessed Changping Township that year, and sent so many outstanding students to Changping Township."

Chen Fan felt hehe.

"At that time, no one in Changping Township knew where it was. Those who were sent were either desperate to survive, or they were eliminated to Changping Township. Those students were really smart, and they were indeed too poor and honest to survive in the suburbs of Beijing. I can't hang around anymore." Chen Fan laughed at himself.

That is to say, when they met Zhang Ci, they didn't make such great progress with another teacher. At least Zhang Yu couldn't be admitted to Juren.

Jing Taixing said: "Master Zhang has come to the academy to give advice. He is really good. The teachers and students are deeply inspired. I hope Master Zhang will come to the academy more times when he is free."

The corner of Chen Fan's mouth twitched: "He will come. In a few days, Master Zhang will issue papers for the citywide academy exam, so that students can prepare well."

Jing Taixing was in a bit of a dilemma: "How much time does the exam take? The progress of the academy is arranged."

"The higher grades are like the imperial examinations, and the little ones take the little ones."

Jing Taixing agreed.

After leaving the academy, the magistrate shook his head and sighed softly.

Zhang Ci and the others didn't get home until dark, and Liu Huairong said that they came back quickly.

"No danger, right?" Chen Fan looked at them.

"There's no danger. We always choose the path we can go." Liu Huaichang grinned.

"Hurry up and eat, you've been tired all day." Chen Fan ordered the meal to be served.

"You can eat first, you don't have to wait for us." Zhang Ci said.

"If you live outside, I don't have to wait. I've agreed to come back, I will naturally have to wait." Chen Fan sat down, and everyone sat at the same table.

"I went to Guangxi and Jingtai academies today, and asked the yamen servants to inform each academies to prepare for the exam."

Liu Huaichang grinned: "The academy is busy, Master Zhang is going to have to work too, there are so many papers."

Zhang Ci chuckled: "Not all academies are busy, at least some people in Jingtai Academy don't take it too seriously."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, and will see how their performance will be when the time comes.

Liu Huairong frowned: "There are many things in a county. Don't be too impatient and take your time. It's only been a little over a month since I came here, and I want to make a comprehensive investigation, build water conservancy, implement subsidies, and rectify the school. Do you finish things all at once? You are still pregnant, so you are running around. Brother-in-law, you should also spare some energy to take care of her. "

Zhang Ci served Chen Fan a bowl of soup: "Even if she is lying at home, she will still think about this and that in her mind. Fortunately, the officials are very cooperative, and they are doing things more and more quickly."

Liu Huaichang said with a smile: "That's because you're trying to scare the chickens and the monkeys as soon as you come up, and try to lure them with power. But if they're softer, it's hard for you to spread your hands and feet."

"Brothers, don't worry, there are so many people in the county government, things can always be handled in the same way."

At night, Chen Fan reached out to help Zhang Ci pinch his leg, but he held his hand: "No, I'll do it myself."

"But I want to pinch."

"Then pinch your face, I'm afraid you pinch your legs too hard." Zhang Ci put his face in front of her.

Chen Fan kissed: "What should I do if my face is pinched?"

Zhang Ci laughed: "It's not made of dough, how could it break?"

"Then rub it and rub it." Chen Fan started.

"By tomorrow, you will find that your husband seems to have changed his face."

"That's good, change a handsome husband every day."

The two quarreled for a while, then rested quietly.

On the second day of June, the Lizhengs came to a meeting and signed to receive the first batch of related subsidies.The county magistrate and county lieutenant are responsible for this work full-time.

Every Lizheng received an account book with his name on it.Chen Fan said: "Those who receive the money must sign on it, and those who can't write have their fingerprints. All the money must be sent to the hands of the people."

Zhang Ci finds out the set of movable type printing typefaces and asks Qingji to take charge of the printing.

Liu Huaichang looked at it with a smile: "It's so cool, just swipe the floor, and a paper is printed." He looked at it for a while, and asked, "Do you need me to invigilate the exam? I want to see the students' answers. look."

Zhang Ci shook his head: "There are officials and yamen servants in the proctor, and there are masters from various academies. You can follow me to patrol the exam."

Liu Huaichang rubbed his hands excitedly: "Stand outside the window and watch?"

Early in the morning on the seventh day of the seventh day, the invigilators from various academies arrived at the county government office.The examination method is the same as in modern times. Each examination room is assigned a teacher and a yamen servant to invigilate the examination, and an official is in charge of the examination work of each academy.

Zhang Ci and Chen Fan are in charge of the inspection tour.They went to Jiatai Academy first.

Most of the candidates looked reluctant and sat staggeringly in their seats.One student even shouted: "So many people are taking the test in one classroom, aren't you afraid that someone will cheat?"

Qing Ji took off the whip from his waist: "Do you want to try cheating?"

The man fell silent.Many students shrank their necks.

Liu Huaichang was wearing literati's clothes and looked at them seriously.

At eight o'clock, the exam begins.Chen Fan and the others stood outside the window and watched.

The desks are stretched far apart, so it's a bit difficult to peek.Liu Huaichang walked around the college and said: "There is a big gap between the academy and the academy. At that time, Chenfeng and Dingkang had a good foundation thanks to studying with you. They are studying well now. "

Zhang Ci asked about his son's studies.Liu Huaichang scratched his head: "It seems not as good as when Chenfeng was ten years old. Because he is not the eldest grandson, his bones are always very loose. Liu Chenfeng has been more stable since he was a child."

Chen Fan laughed: "It's good for the child to be happy. Maybe he's just fighting for attention? He's so sensible that adults often don't need to worry about it."

Liu Huaichang blinked: "It seems so."

The exam was about to end, and they were waiting at Deyou Academy to collect the papers.

"This kind of examination method is very good. You take one paper in one hour, and then you come out after the test, and you go in to take the next test. The kind of people who eat and sleep in it will peel off a layer of skin when they come out." Liu Huaichang said.

Zhang Ci glanced at him: "This form is only used in the quiz, and the formal imperial examinations still have to abide by the rules of the examination room."

The bell rang and the invigilators collected the papers.There was wailing in the examination hall.

"I know all of them, but I can't remember many of them."

"I usually feel like I can recite it all. Why can't I remember so many things today?"

Chen Fan wanted to laugh when he heard that.

She watched as the master would try to pack it into a bag and put a seal on it.

"So cautious?" Liu Huaichang opened his eyes wide.

"It's better to be cautious. Only in this way can we know the true level of the students." Chen Fan said.

There are two exams, dictation and explanation in the morning, and composition in the afternoon.Liu Huaichang opened his eyes and saw the various expressions of the candidates.

The composition was given three hours.When the exam bell rang, many students complained: "Why do you give me this little time, I don't even have time to write."

"There is still a whole day for the imperial examination to arrange what to write."

Liu Huaichang listened to Zhile: "Maybe they can't finish writing an article for several hours during the imperial examination?"

"Many candidates are like this, so they fail." Zhang Ci said.

Liu Huaichang shuddered and stopped teasing.

The county magistrate and magistrate are responsible for binding the test papers.The next day, the marking teachers sent by the major academies came.Zhang Ci sent them the answers and scoring standards of the first exam, saying: "In order to distinguish more carefully, we use a hundred-point system. The number of points for each question is listed on the test paper. The questions that everyone wants to approve have been arranged. "

He read through the marking list, and everyone began to review.

In half a day, everyone approved the test papers and calculated the scores.

"This [-]-point system is really good. The difference between one point and two points is clear. It is better than just using grades." A teacher lamented.

The test papers were opened, and everyone registered their scores according to their names.The masters shook their heads and sighed while writing: "It's horrible, it's horrible."

The scores on the registration form are clear at a glance, with many high and low scores.

The chapters asked them to calculate the average score.

"What's the use of an average score?"

"Just look at the scores of each academy."

Everyone starts counting points.Schools with high scores smiled happily, while schools with low scores covered their faces.

"I know what the average score is for." A teacher muttered to himself.

In the afternoon when the essays were approved, the deans of the major academies also came, and the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and master book also participated in the approval of papers.The composition is also based on a [-]-point system. Zhang Ci told them the scoring standards, read two articles, and explained the scoring requirements.

Everyone has a slip of paper to score the composition according to the serial number.A stack of test papers must be reviewed by three people to calculate the final score.

When the test papers were disassembled and the scores were registered, everyone felt the advantages of the [-]-point system again, which was more clear than the grades from A to B.

Jing Taixing's expression was ugly, his grades in the two subjects of the academy were the lowest.
