Chapter 21 Exam!
Zhang Chaozhong didn't understand. After studying hard all night last night, until the gong sounded at the fifth hour, he was so sleepy that he decided to take a short snatch for a while. It was really good for a while. He was so sleepy.
However, Zhang Chaozhong narrowed his eyes and woke up, it was already the hour of the day. The time for the exam to start was coming!
In a hurry, Zhang Chaozhong didn't even have time to wash up. He rushed to the scene, but he still missed the time. The gate of the examination room had just fallen and blocked it, and he arrived.
Before he could think, Zhang Chaozhong knelt down on the spot to the Jinyiwei guard who was guarding the gate, begging him to open the net and let him enter the examination room for the exam.
But the Jinyiwei in front of him was not related to him, and Zhang Chaozhong had not washed up after washing the toilet, and his body emitted a disgusting odor. The Jinyiwei was naturally very disgusted with him, so how could he let him in?
"Get out quickly, get out quickly, if you don't get out of here, I will punish you for disturbing the examination room!" The Jinyiwei said impatiently.
"Please, sir, please give it a mercy, just let the villain in!"
This is a big test that concerns Zhang Chaozhongren's life destiny. As important as life, how can he give up? How can he give up?
"If you don't get out of here, do you think my sword is not good?" The Jinyiwei couldn't bear Zhang Chaozhong's entanglement. With a "slam", he pulled out the Xiuchun sword and threatened fiercely.
"If you miss this exam, a villain is worse than death. If you don't let the villain enter the exam, just kill the villain!" Zhang Chaozhong had already sacrificed his life. In order to enter the venue, he would do everything he could to avoid even his life.
"Oh, you are threatening me, I will kill you!" The Jinyiwei was furious and made a move to chop Zhang Chaozhong's head.
Of course it was not a real cut. After all, this is the palace. If there is a life accident in front of everyone, he will not be able to take it.
"Stop it! Your Majesty's words, and he is allowed to enter the exam for his persistence."
At this moment, the young eunuch Lu Jiude, who was accompanying the emperor, sent Zhu Youjian's oral order, and ordered the Jinyiwei to let Zhang Chaozhong take the exam.
"Abide by the holy metaphor!" The Jinyiwei recognized Lu Jiude as a celebrity around the emperor, and did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately let it go.
Zhang Chaozhong looked at a bright yellow figure in the distance, thinking about it, but before he could think too much, he hurried into the examination room.
He knew that even if he thanked the emperor for his gratitude, he had to pass this exam successfully and had the opportunity to repay the emperor's great kindness and virtue.
...
When the imperial examinations developed to the Ming Dynasty, the system was extremely perfect, and the loopholes in the examination hall were filled with 7 or 8. It was extremely difficult and risky to cheat in the examination hall.
The civil servant examination in the inner court created by Zhu Youjian is mostly copied from the imperial examination system of the outer court. Since all the candidates are eunuchs, the inspections in the venue are more stringent than those in the outer court.
Most of the candidates from the outside dynasty were gentry members from gentry. The Jinyiwei searched the body and left some dignity to the candidates, but they were not so polite to the eunuchs. Not only were they searched all their hair, armpits, and soles, but even the eunuchs' lower body and feces were touched.
Zhang Chaozhong endured discomfort and humiliation, and was strictly searched by the Jinyiwei, and finally entered the examination room.
However, his seat in the exam room was not very good. As a latecomer, he was assigned to a location close to the toilet. Fortunately, Zhang Chaozhong washed the toilet for two years and had long been accustomed to the smell of the toilet, which could not help him.
After receiving the test paper, Zhang Chaozhong filled in his name in the Huming District and couldn't wait to browse the test paper.
This test paper is called the Chinese test paper, which tests the cultural literacy of the candidates. Unlike the eight-legged essay exams in the imperial examinations of the Foreign Court, which emphasizes breaking questions, following questions, starting lectures, starting, starting stocks, starting stocks, Chinese stocks, back stocks, and binding stocks, this Chinese test paper is very novel.
The first major question is multiple-choice questions, which are divided into fifteen small questions, each small question has two points and a total score of thirty.
Although the test paper questions are very novel and unheard of Zhang Chaozhong, there are four answers to multiple-choice questions, A, B, C, and D, which is not difficult for Zhang Chaozhong, who has been reading a lot since childhood.
The second major question is reading comprehension, which also has 30 points. The test paper takes the eight-part essay "The People's Foot, Who Are the Deficiencies" written by Wang Yang, the first in the 11th Chenghua exam. Then the candidates are asked to analyze and understand the article. This question is also divided into fifteen small questions, with two points per question.
Before Zhang Chaozhong's family was destroyed, he was preparing for the exam at home for ten years and was familiar with many excellent eight-legged essays from his seniors in the science exam. Wang Liu's famous eight-legged essays were naturally among them. This question is also not difficult.
The last question is naturally the composition that candidates hate most in later generations, but for today's candidates, they finally encountered the topics they are familiar with.
Especially those candidates who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, they couldn't help but shout in their hearts: "It's finally my turn to show off my skills!"
The composition topic of this test paper is very simple and straightforward: In the face of the increasingly exhausted Ming Dynasty finances, what methods can be solved?
When I saw the question, the candidate who thought he knew a lot about the economy shouted for luck, while the candidate who knew nothing about the economy heard the BGM of "Yi Jian Mei" sounded in his ears, and he shouted in his heart: I can't do this question, I can't do it! It's too difficult!
However, for Zhang Chaozhong, who was born in the most economically developed region in the country, such as Suzhou, this composition topic was right. When he thought of Suzhou's prosperous maritime trade economy, he couldn't help but feel relieved and wrote as if he had a magical idea.
...
In the afternoon, after eating two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge provided by the examination room, the examiners regained their energy and devoted themselves to the math test paper.
The mathematics test paper is the same as the Chinese test paper, including multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and right-wrong questions, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for poor students. Even if they don’t know at all, they have the opportunity to get the right based on luck. However, the application questions with the largest proportion of points will be difficult.
The application title is: There is one chicken man who is valuable for five; one chicken mother who is valuable for three; three chicken chicks who are valuable for one. For every hundred dollars, buy a hundred chickens. Ask how many chickens are there?
This question is naturally no problem for students who have learned modern equations. Just buy a rooster, the hen and the chick are x, y, z, respectively. According to the meaning of the question, you can get the equation system: 5x3y1/3z=100.
In addition, set an integer parameter k, and there is: x=4k, y=25-7k, z=753k.
In this way, the answer is about to come out. Chicken Man 4, Chicken Mother 18, Chicken Chicken 78, just meets the setting of buying a white chicken for a hundred dollars. The answer is completely correct! [Don't praise me for being a top student, I am not a princess after all.]
But there is no equation in the Ming Dynasty, so how can candidates answer?
For most candidates, this question exceeded all their knowledge points, and the BGM of "Yi Jian Mei" sounded again in their ears, and they shouted in their hearts: I can't do this question, I can't do it! It's too difficult!
But this question is still not difficult to Zhang Chaozhong. After thinking about it, he soon discovered a secret: 4 roosters are worth 20 cents, 3 chickens are worth 1 cent, the total number of chickens is 7 and the number of money is 21. For 7 hens, the number of chickens is 7 and the number of money is 21. If you buy 7 less hens, you can use this money to buy 4 more roosters and 3 chickens.
In this way, a hundred chickens are still a hundred chickens, and a hundred coins are still a hundred coins. Therefore, only one answer is required, and according to this rule, other answers can be found immediately.
After taking the math exam, Zhang Chaozhong did not hand in the paper in advance. He roughly calculated the score. As long as the Chinese composition questions were favored by the examiner, he could definitely win the first place in this exam.
Very happy, I feel that life has reached its peak, I feel that life has reached its peak!
