Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 311
At this time, Huang Chengming's servant was pushing out from the crowd full of worries.After finally getting out of the crowd, looking at the new clothes he had only made two months ago, and the shoes his mother made for him, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

I hope that next year there will be no more students like Du Jinning, whom the academy places high hopes on, otherwise a boy like him will be exhausted to death.

He lost one of his shoes, so it was not good to just go back with one foot, so he had to spend money to hire a mule cart, and then returned to the county hall.

As soon as I got out of the car and paid the fare, I heard a familiar voice behind me: "I'm back, I'm back."

The boy turned his head and saw a Mr. Shan Shan from the academy running in. After a while, his master came out in a hurry and asked, "How is it? Where is Du Jinning?"

"First."

Huang Chengming and the three Mr. Lin Shansheng finally landed a stone: "First? Good good."

As long as Zhou Dongping can judge the papers impartially, the head of the case will not escape.

"Who is the second?" Huang Chengming asked again.

"Liang Xiankuan."

Huang Chengming specially wrote down the seat numbers of several students from Bo Yue Academy who came to take the government examination on a piece of paper for the boy to hold. When he was looking at the list just now, he searched for all the seat numbers. At this time, without waiting for Huang Chengming to ask again, he reported all the way: "Li Congyang No. 15, Luo Dan 26, Qin Zhongming [-]."

"It's gone?" Huang Chengming asked when he saw that the boy had lost his voice after reading this.

The boy nodded.

"Not bad." Huang Chengming nodded in satisfaction.There were smiles on the faces of the three janitors.

Seven students came to participate in the government examination, and they got five in the first round, which is not bad.The other two ranked low in the county examination, so it was expected that they failed in the government examination.The most rare thing is that the first and second places are all students of their Boyue Academy. No matter which academy they are placed in, this result is already outstanding.

Although there are still two exams, the first one is the most important. It directly passed [-]% of the candidates, and the remaining ones who can take the second exam are only about [-] people.And Qin Zhongming, who is the worst among the people admitted in the academy, can be ranked in the [-]th place. As long as there are no accidents, these people will be sure to pass the government examination.

"Okay, everyone, don't worry." Huang Chengming waved to the three cooks, "Tell them the news, and let those who pass the first round prepare for the exam."

The second exam will be held tomorrow.

On Du Jinning's side, he also heard the news from Fang Shaohua's servant: "Master, you are ranked fifth."

"Fifth?" Fang Shaohua felt that even if he was suppressed by Du Jinning and Liang Xiankuan, he could still be ranked third. How could he be fifth?

"Who are the third and fourth, do you know?" Fang Shaohua asked.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but if Wu Yumou was ranked third or fourth, he would have doubts about the impartiality of the chief examiner.

The boy shook his head: "It's the seat number, the villain doesn't know. But the villain heard from the people next to him, it seems that the villain is the head of the case in another county."

After hearing this, Du Jinning interrupted and said, "Do you still remember those two seat numbers? Tell me and let me hear."

The seat numbers of these desks are arranged from the middle to the two sides.Wu Yumou once said that he is the head of the case in the largest county, and his seat name is naturally Jiazuozi.

The boy said two seat numbers.

Du Jinning turned to Fang Shaohua and said, "Wu Yumou should be behind you. He is either a sub-brand or an ugly brand. He is not among these two names."

Fang Shaohua felt better now.

"Well, when I came back, I thought that the students in Guangxi Province were not good enough, and I should be the one to pick the little three yuan. I knew how ridiculous this idea was during the county examination, and it's even more so now. But look at Wu Yumou, who also understood Seeing this truth, I suddenly feel very comfortable. Sure enough, someone can be as unlucky as me, or even more unlucky, which is the best way to heal my trauma."

"..." Du Jinning was speechless.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and prepare for tomorrow's exam." She didn't bother to pay attention to this funny comparison, turned her head and said to Liang Xiankuan, "You should go to the county hall to live?"

Liang Xiankuan nodded: "Yes."

Du Jinning looked around: "Then I'll go back to the county hall with you now." Although Huang Chengming would definitely send someone to check the rankings, they still had to go to the county hall to tell.

……

On the second day at Yin time, Zhou Dongping got up, got dressed, ate something, and came to the front of the government office.

Li Yi and the others are already waiting here.

"Get ready." Seeing that everyone was here, Zhou Dongping walked out first.

A doorman approached Li Yitong and asked in a low voice: "Why hasn't Dong Weng come out with the exam questions this time?"

The topic of the last exam, but Zhou Dongping came up with it the night before, and he took it out and discussed it with them.It stands to reason that the second exam is not as important as the first one, so we have to guard against the leakage of the exam questions. There is no need for the exam questions to be released at this time, right?After all, this question is not chosen randomly. It is necessary to analyze the type, difficulty, and knowledge points of the test.These all take time.

Li Yitong shook his head, did not speak, and was also very puzzled, wondering what kind of medicine Zhou Dongping sold in this gourd.

It's not easy for them to ask about this kind of thing, otherwise it seems like they are hiding evil intentions and want to get the topic early and disclose it to others.

A group of people arrived at Fuxue by car, and everyone took their positions. Together with the subordinate staff, they began to count the servants and city guards and assign tasks.

As a master, Li Tong has always been by Zhou Dongping's side.It wasn't until this time that he saw Zhou Dongping asking someone to grind his ink and started asking questions.

Li took a closer look together.

After seeing the topic written by Zhou Dongping clearly, he frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Dong Weng, your topic... is a bit inappropriate, right?"

As usual, the first and third exams of the government exam are all questions about classics and meanings, with different depths; the second exam is about poetry and arithmetic.Because the Song Dynasty attached great importance to poetry and mathematics, the proportion of poems in the trial post was relatively large, and there were usually three questions; the number of arithmetic questions was not only small, but only two, and it was not deep.

But Zhou Dongping's current topic is two test poems and five calculation questions, which is quite different from the previous ratio.And judging from Li Tong's math level, one of the five math problems is difficult and the other is difficult.

"It's nothing inappropriate." Zhou Dongping said, "Some time ago, the adults in the household department proposed to increase the proportion of mathematics in the scientific examination, thinking that this is the most practical in reality; although poetry is a great way, it has no practical use. A certain deeply thinks so. In this scientific investigation, a certain will do his best to support the views of the adults of the household department."

Li looked at Zhou Dongping together and remained silent.

What Zhou Dongping said was awe-inspiring, but Li Yiyi deeply suspected that he had asked such a large number of math problems because he wanted to make it difficult for the candidate named Du Jinning.

When it comes to arithmetic, there is a big difference in the level between the children of aristocratic families and the children of ordinary people, the students from big places and the students from small places.Children from aristocratic families and students from big places are much higher than the other two types because of their family background or the high level of the academies.

Du Jinning is a student from a poor family, and he only stayed in Lishui County, and judging from his resume, he is still a farmer.Mathematics must be a weakness for him.As soon as Zhou Dongping's topic came up, he might lose his No.1 title.

Zhou Dongping said that he had let go of the past, that he would not deal with injustice, but subconsciously, he still didn't want to let that Du Jinning be the head of the case, right?That's why he came up with such a method, so that people can't catch him, and at the same time, he can take down the name of Du Jinning's case leader and put it on someone else's head.

This is an upright conspiracy!
However, he still has such an upright excuse that people can't argue with.

At this moment, Li Tong expressed deep sympathy for the candidate named Du Jinning.
