Chapter 16 16. The scientific examination is coming, strict inspection
On the day of the imperial examination, there were huge crowds of people.
Scholars from all over the country came to the county.
Some people are dressed in rags, and some people are dressed in beautiful clothes.
In addition to students from the academy, students from other private schools in the countryside also arrived.
This world is very strange. The monopoly on reading is even stronger. It is a complete monopoly industry. The private schools in the village, and the teaching talents are usually from the village. They have blood relationships or relatives with several surrounding villages, so he only knows Teach students from several nearby villages. As for those in further areas, you won’t take money even if you give them money.
Therefore, private schools are not something you can just go to if you want. The geographical restrictions are very serious.
At the beginning, the reason why Zhaojia Village did not send Zhao Xuanqi to a private school was because the several villages near Zhaojia Village were in remote areas and there were no talented people who had achieved great success. Naturally, there was no place to send him to a private school.
If you can't go to a private school, you can only go to Stony Brook College in the county. Only the college will accept students from all over the country. As long as you pay, you can go. There are no geographical restrictions.
College fees are very expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary families. Even some landowners cannot afford to study.
On the other hand, the fees of private schools are relatively low, dozens of times cheaper, and you can even enter by handing over dozens of kilograms of food.
Expensive, of course, has the advantage of being expensive. When you enter the academy, you can go to the bookstore to study. These precious books can be read for free. Even the teachers are many times more powerful. They are specially prepared for the scientific examination. When you enter the academy, you have the background of the academy.
As for cheap private schools, the teachers are usually young students who rarely have the reputation of being a scholar, and there are not so many books for you to read. There are only two or three enlightenment books. Generally, they will only teach you the enlightenment of writing. If you want to take the scientific examination, it will be very difficult. Disaster.
If you want to take the scientific examination, you generally have to enter an academy.
Therefore, it is a good choice for Zhao Xuanqi to enter the academy directly.
The county examination center is in a market, with many temporary examination booths set up, facing south, and many government officials patrolling nearby.
There are also horse-blocking roadblocks set up around the examination shed to prevent some frantic candidates from rushing into the examination room. There are also gates in the south of the examination shed, namely the east and west gates, surrounded by a circle of wooden fences, called dragon gates, which means "The carp leaps over the dragon's gate."
The backyard of Longmen is a wide courtyard, where candidates are standing densely, waiting for their names to be called.
In front of the examination room is a portal. There are several small officials standing here, holding wooden sticks and long knives on their waists. They are called "souzi". These people are used to check whether the candidates are trapped.
There are many ways to cheat in this day and age.
Method [-]: Hide, that is, bring cheat sheets. The imperial examination lasted for several days. Since you can bring food, candles, tableware, etc., you can stuff the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" into steamed buns, sew them in the middle of clothes, and More "extensive" cheating methods such as stuffing them into candles.
For example, to make a candle, the inside of the candle is hollowed out from bottom to top along the lead, a strip of paper is stuffed in, and the bottom is sealed flat with wax oil, and then brought into the examination room.
Method 5: Abbreviation. There was no abbreviation in ancient times, but it is not difficult for experts. Take "Four Books Diancang" as an example. The whole book is about eight or nine centimeters long and about 11 centimeters wide. The book condenses the essence of the "Four Books". The next two volumes total more than [-] words.
The calligraphy in the book is in Guange style, and the writing is done with "mouse hairs" specially made from mouse whiskers. People with bad eyesight and weak strength really can't do this job.
Method [-]: Silver salt turns black. This method can be regarded as an ancient high-tech. Those who use this method are all chemical masters. They fill the clothes folder with densely written words in salt water. After mixing it into the examination room, light a candle and dry it with fire. , the text appears.
In addition, there are various methods such as flying pigeons to pass letters, bribery, taking exams for others, etc.Wen Tingyun in the Tang Dynasty was a master of taking exams for himself. He couldn't take the exam himself, so he had to help others take the exam. As a result, all the people who took the exam for him passed. The most impressive one was helping eight people complete the exam at the same time.
"It's almost our turn."
Chen Buhuan and others kept rubbing their hands, trying to relieve the tension in their hearts.
"Don't be afraid. We have done a solid job in our homework. This test is very easy for children. You can pass it without any accidents."
Zhao Xuanqi comforted them.
As soon as the words came out, several other people instantly became calm.
Zhao Xuanqi was right, there was nothing to worry about. These days, several of them have been asking Zhao Xuanqi about the key points of the assessment and various difficult questions. Zhao Xuanqi told them all the ways to answer the questions, which helped them improve a lot. A mere child is absolutely no problem.
Now, Zhao Xuanqi stood in front of the door and truly experienced the benefits of the academy sect.
At the science examination site, because the "test boy students" exam takes a long time, they need to bring their own food, etc. The clerks stand at the door to check the bodies of each scholar to prevent anyone from bringing in cheat sheets.
The inspection was very careful, even the food had to be inspected, the steamed buns had to be opened to see if there was a note inside, the clothes had to be taken off, and even the layers of clothes had to be neatly packed away, even the pants of the scholars who were going to take the scientific examinations. Yours must be opened and searched inside and out to prevent anyone from hiding cheat sheets in the valley.
This kind of inspection is more stringent than the college entrance examination in the previous life, and it is even worse. It wants to break your whole body into pieces, pick out the bones and debris, and clearly distinguish the fat and lean meat. Basically no one can bring cheat sheets into it.
For a scholar, it is really degrading to be stripped naked and examined.
But when it was Zhao Xuanqi's turn to wait for the students of Stony Brook Academy, the clerk's inspection was obviously much easier. He only checked the food briefly, and then let everyone go after a rough inspection.
At first, the people behind thought that the clerk was tired. After all, he had checked so many people and was tired. It was right that he no longer checked so carefully.
But when it was their turn, the clerk's actions became violent again, checking the whole person inside and out, and the inspection became strict again.
The scholars at the back shouted dissatisfied: "Why do they just check it casually? When it's our turn, they want to peel off our skins and check it again. This is unfair!"
The clerk sneered: "You don't even know your status. You are all private school students in remote areas. Those scholars just now are from Shixi Academy. Do you know the academy? The people there are all literary stars who have descended to the earth. This is your Can it be compared? You don’t even need to pee to see what you look like.”
The others' faces turned red, and they wanted to defend themselves but couldn't find any way to do so.
The academy is equivalent to a prestigious university. After graduation, you can directly enter the company without an interview. Your parents are either officials or wealthy people with unusual backgrounds.
These private schools are equivalent to vocational colleges, and the difference is not a tiny bit different.
Their identities are very different, and their family conditions are also very different...
In this exam, they Confucian scholars could not go against the petty officials. They could only secretly get angry and vow to make these petty officials look good after they gain fame in the future.
