Although the two eight-part essays have been made of the same type, the format still has to be carefully reviewed because the draft paper also needs to be submitted for archiving.

So Xu Jin first wrote two eight-part essays on draft paper, then revised them on the draft paper, and finally copied them carefully onto the answer sheet.

After completing two eight-part essays in the morning, he had lunch provided by the examination room and rested for half an hour before Xu Jin began to work on the remaining policy questions.

The title of the policy discussion is: Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the military system of this dynasty's guards.

Xu Jin also thought that Xu Kui was fishing at first, but then he thought about it. The questions had to be decided at least half a month ago. After all, with the current printing technology, nearly two thousand test papers have to be printed. It would be impossible not to leave enough time.

.

Xu Jin organized his language slightly, and then started to answer the questions on the draft paper. He first stated the advantages of the Weisuo system and the huge positive role it played in the early days of the founding of this dynasty. Then he changed the topic and talked about the current problems encountered by the Weisuo system.

various problems, and finally propose solutions to the problems.

Of course, Xu Jin would not be so stupid as to directly replace the hereditary system of military officers with the "recruitment system". You must know that the examiner Xu Kui is a conservative, and this radical view must not be liked by him. He can usually chat about mountains and rivers.

, but answering this way in the hospital exam is simply getting yourself into trouble.

Xu Jin kept in mind Fei Hong's reminder not to be new or unconventional, so he answered the policy question quite satisfactorily. He did not seek merit, but sought no faults. In addition, with the previous two eight-legged essays as a basis, Xu Jin estimated that this first game was

Must pass.

Yuan Cheng, the head of the Nanchang Prefecture who was sitting behind Xu Jin, didn't think so. His goal was to be the head of the court trial, so naturally he had to strive to be perfect and flawless!

Yuan Anshou's steps in answering the questions were similar to Xu Jin's. He first discussed the advantages of the guard system, then raised the serious problems encountered by the current guard system, and finally suggested that drastic reforms must be carried out to replace the existing hereditary system of military personnel with a recruitment system.

…

Yuan's case cited extensive references, criticizing the obsolete and decadent hereditary system of military affairs in extremely eloquent terms, and proposed that the Ming army must be innovative in order to save the Ming army's declining combat effectiveness.

Yuan Cheng finished writing it in one go, checked and revised it carefully, and then copied it onto the answer sheet with great satisfaction.

It is said that Yuan Cheng's views were not so radical in the first place, but when he saw the great master Xu Kui giving Xu Jin "special treatment", he thought that Xu Kui was particularly appreciative of Xu Jin, which happened to be what Xu Jin threw out at the banquet that day.

The "Soldier Recruitment System" has been spread among the candidates, and Yuan Cheng has also heard about it, so he planned to find a way to apply Xu Jin's "Soldier Recruitment System" point of view.

The two examinations in the college were held in one day, no need to stay overnight, and the papers would be collected before dark at the latest. Xu Jin finished answering the papers around four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, people started to hand in their papers, so Xu Jin also pulled the bell to ask for the handover of papers.

.

Soon, two officers from the sealing office came over. After checking that the test papers were correct, they sealed them on the spot along the sealing line (that is, anonymizing their names). After stamping the seat number, they took away all the draft papers and sent them to the sealers.

at.

It is worth mentioning here that after the examination paper is sent to the sealing office and sorted, it will be sent to the transcription office, and a special person will make a new copy of the examination paper. This is to prevent marks from being left on the examination paper, or the marking staff cheating based on the handwriting.

.

After the examination paper is copied and it is still not good, it must be carefully proofread by the proofreading office to confirm that the transcription is correct, and then it is sent to the marking office, where the person in charge of marking will initially screen and score. The selected examination papers will then be reviewed by the same examiner, and a batch will be eliminated.

Then it is handed over to the examiner, who decides the ranking. Therefore, the process is quite cumbersome and strict. Compared with it, the current college entrance examination is simply insignificant.

Xu Jin handed in his papers, followed by Yuan Cheng. They came to the exit together and waited for the cards to be placed before leaving the examination room.

"Brother Xu, how did you do in the exam? I'm afraid the case leader is in the bag, right?" Yuan Cheng took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Xu Jin smiled and said modestly: "There are so many talented people in Jiangxi, so it's not easy to get the top job in the academy examination. It would be great if you can pass the academy examination!"

Yuan Cheng chuckled and said, "Brother Xu is too modest. Brother Xu's talent and knowledge are more than enough to take the lead in the case."

Xu Jin's eyes were sharp, and he naturally saw the lust hidden under Yuan Cheng's eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Yuan did well in the exam, and you must be the head of the case!"

Yuan Cheng smiled and said: "I think you did well in the exam, but the details of the case are unknown!"

At this moment, Fei Maoxian walked over carelessly, frowning slightly, as if the situation was not good.

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly wonder, Fei Shi had won the two eight-part essay questions, Fei Maoxian must have done it too, why did he still look like this?

"Minxian, did you not do well in the exam?" Xu Jin couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Fei Maoxian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Ziqian, you did well in the exam, but this time... I'm afraid you will fail again."

Xu Jin wondered: "Why is this?"

Fei Maoxian said angrily: "I was probably too nervous when handing in the paper. I didn't notice that the paperweight pressed down on a corner of the paper. As a result, I used too much force and tore the paper a little."

Xu Jin couldn't help but was speechless. Fei Maoxian was usually a very steady person, but he was always careless during exams and encountered various problems. The last time he took the college entrance examination, he accidentally dropped a drop of oil on the test paper while eating, and the test paper was ruined.

Wasted.

Fei Maoxian clenched his fists in frustration and said, "Oh, I was so careless!"

Xu Jin asked: "Where is the tear? Is it outside the sealing line?"

Fei Maoxian nodded and said: "Oh, it is indeed a corner outside the sealing line!"

Xu Jin hurriedly comforted him: "That shouldn't be a problem. If you seal it, you won't be able to see it!"

After hearing this, Fei Maoxian suddenly regained some hope and said anxiously: "I hope so, I don't want to come to this college examination room for a third time!"

Xu Jin expressed deep sympathy, but was helpless!

Xu Jin and Fei Maoxian put down their cards and left the examination room. They found that Fei Maozhong was already waiting outside. Judging from his expression, he must have done well in the exam.

It is said that Fei Maozhong already has the reputation of being a scholar. This time he is just taking the scientific examination, which is equivalent to the preliminary selection for the provincial examination. As long as the grand master nods and passes, he can participate in the provincial examination (examination of candidates) held in the province next year.

It is also worth mentioning that the top ten in this college examination can go directly to the provincial examination next year without the need for another selection.

After the first session of the college examination is over, the second session will be held four days later, that is, the re-examination will be held on August 16th. Only those who pass the first session are eligible to participate.

It is said that after the first session of the college examination, the grading work began non-stop. The people responsible for grading were all college directors or senior teachers drawn from various governments. They were all old guys with rich experience and profound knowledge.

On August 13, 600 examination papers initially screened by the marking staff were sent to fellow examiner Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong's task was to select more than 300 examination papers from these 600 examination papers to pass the first test.

After preliminary ranking, the test papers will be forwarded to the examiner Xu Kui for final ranking.

Liu Zhong was drinking tea while browsing the test papers leisurely. Originally, 600 test papers had to be read in one day, which was a very heavy workload. However, these 600 test papers had been ranked by the marking staff, and the rankings would not be the same.

If there are any major changes, the deputy examiner will usually only make slight adjustments.

Therefore, Liu Zhong quickly read a dozen copies. If he liked the papers, he would write the word "take" with a red pen on the front of the volume. If he didn't like the papers, he would throw them aside.

Soon, an examination paper with the title "Bing Sanlu" appeared in front of Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong took the examination paper and scanned it, with a sneer on his face, and said to himself: "Recruitment system... Haha, this guy is still...

It’s quite radical. Even if this examination paper is sent directly to Mr. Xu, I’m afraid he will be deposed!”

"Xu Jin, Xu Jin, even if you are talented, so what, why did you offend Prince Ning's Mansion?" Liu Zhong threw the exam paper aside and picked up the next exam paper.

The number of this examination paper was "Bing San Wu". Liu Zhong read it over and nodded with satisfaction: "Both articles are well-selected. Although the policy topics are cliché, they are quite satisfactory."

Liu Zhong took up his pen and wrote the word "take" on the test paper, and then ranked the test paper in the third position.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Zhong finished reading the 600 examination papers and selected the top 300 papers and sent them to the desk of the examiner Xu Kui. Xu Kui will re-rank the more than 300 examination papers on August 10.
