Yan Yi took his number plate and walked into the examination room. Based on his last experience, this time he found his seat with ease, knelt down, took out his pen and ink, and waited patiently for the exam to begin.
"Huh..." Yan Yi raised his head and looked forward, and was quite surprised: "What are those erected wooden boards in front of you for?"
In the center of the school ground, there were several wooden boards as tall as one person erected. The top of the wooden boards was covered with a piece of wood, so no one knew what was inside.
So in the examination room, the scholars who discovered this started talking about it one after another.
"Quiet!" Zhang Tang walked up to the high platform in the center of the campus with his hands behind his back and ordered loudly: "There is still a quarter of an hour before the exam starts. All scholars, please keep quiet and don't whisper!"
Perhaps the official uniform Zhang Tang was wearing and the imperial guards standing on the left and right acted as a deterrent, and the entire examination room suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Tang continued: "Now, I will announce the rules of this examination..."
"You are not allowed to whisper or peek at other people's test papers. If you violate this rule, not only will your test score be zero, but you will also be sent to the Nei Shi Yamen for punishment! Anyone who fails to report someone else's fraud will be an accomplice and their test results will also be revoked!" This rule
It was a targeted countermeasure against several examples of fraud discovered in the previous examination. With Zhang Tang's voice, many scholars felt their hearts skip a beat. Even under the law, it would be difficult to cheat.
It increased greatly.
Zhang Tang took a step forward and continued: "Secondly, it's hot today, and His Highness specially found a summer-relieving soup from ancient books. Later, I will have someone give each of you a bowl. After the exam,
Every quarter of an hour, someone will come to give you some soup. If the heat is really unbearable, you can hand in your papers in advance. Don’t act on impulse!" No one knows whether these words have any effect, but without stating it in advance, it will be released.
The trouble will be serious! Then there will be no way to evade it!
"Third..." Zhang Tang continued: "The test questions are written on the wooden board. I will order people to move the wooden board around. Please read the questions carefully and make sure you don't read them wrong, so as not to miss the exam!"
There is no other way to do this. Even paper has just appeared, and printing has no shadow at all.
Even if Liu De knew that block printing could be used to solve this problem, where would he find the ink used for printing?
As for finding someone to copy...
There are more than two thousand test papers. If we find someone to copy them, God knows how many people we will need.
If there are too many people, the test questions will inevitably be leaked.
So we had to do the next best thing, enlarge the font of the test questions and write them on a few wooden boards. When the exam started, have people hold the wooden boards for the scholars to see.
As for anyone who is short-sighted and unable to see clearly, I can only say sorry.
Examination is a new thing. If you want to achieve perfection from the beginning, how is that possible?
After saying these words, Zhang Tang told his confidant Tian Jia standing next to him: "Brother, please distribute the white papers, three to each scholar..."
"No!" Tian Jia nodded, looked at Zhang Tang, and sighed in his heart. Zhang Tang has really changed a lot today. He is no longer the young man who needed his support to study.
, there is already some looming power on his body.
"It is rumored that after the examination, His Highness Liu De will promote Zhang Tang, Ji An, and Ju Meng!" Tian Jia thought: "This promotion will at least be a powerful official position of 600 stones, and may even be a minister or minister.
A first-class official!"
It is very likely that the Langguan of the Han family will be able to reach the rank of Jiuqing at the level of two thousand shi in the future.
"I have to seize the opportunity to let Zhang Tang marry my daughter-in-law and go home as soon as possible!" Once Zhang Tang becomes a Langguan, it is really unknown whether he can keep his promise and continue to marry his family.
Nowadays, among the Chehou nobles in Chang'an City, everyone is eyeing the three top ministers under Liu De. Even Ju Meng, the big boss, has been robbed by several Chehous, hoping to recruit him as their son-in-law.
There are even more people chasing Zhang Tang and Ji An!
Rumor has it that even Zhang Wu and Nan Pi, two highly respected relatives, have some intentions!
If we don’t seize the opportunity, my concubine’s position will probably be gone, let alone the main wife!
No one knows what kind of place Chang'an is better than Tian Jia!
With this in mind, Tian Jia led others and distributed the white papers one by one. After passing out the last person, the school gate slowly closed and the exam began.
More than a dozen wooden boards were carried and placed at the four corners of the school grounds. Basically, every seventy people shared one board.
……………………
There are five questions in total, and each correct answer is worth one point. This is something that everyone knows now.
However, only one hundred people will pass this exam.
This means that you need to answer at least four questions correctly to have a chance to become one of the one percent, and you may even need to answer all five questions correctly!
Therefore, when the cloth on the wooden board was removed, all the scholars immediately picked up their pens and copied the questions on the wooden board onto the paper. Then, they checked again and again to make sure they were correct before starting to answer.
Yan Yi copied all five questions onto the paper and looked at them.
This first question is so easy!
Pythagorean Principle, this is something even elementary school children know now!
But because of this, Yan Yi began to feel faintly uneasy.
Sure enough, if we look at the following questions, they are more difficult than the last. Yan Yi thought the second question was relatively easy, but the third question became extremely difficult, involving declining points or even anti-declining points. Undoubtedly, this is
Quite a difficult arithmetic problem.
The difficulty of the fourth question was almost the same as that of the third question, which made Yan Yi feel a little more at ease.
Although it is difficult, it generally does not go beyond the scope of Jiuzhang arithmetic.
Yan Yi thought that he should still be able to solve it.
After all, his family has been a famous family for generations. This famous family naturally has a lot of land. With more land, there are more tenants. Every year, they need to calculate the tenants' rent and taxes and the money for the fields. Without sufficient arithmetic foundation, it is obviously impossible to accumulate so much property.
of.
However, when he saw the fifth question, he felt bad instantly.
"A hundred people answered the questions today. Eighty-one people answered the first question correctly. Ninety-one people answered the second question correctly. Eighty-five people answered the third question correctly. Seventy-nine people answered the fourth question correctly. Seventy-four people answered the fifth question correctly.
Only those who answer three or more questions correctly are qualified. Question: How many people are qualified?" Yan Yi kept talking about this question over and over again, and for a while he really felt that he had no idea where to start.
In Chapter Nine Arithmetic, there is a question similar to this!
But there is no doubt that the person who asked the question was so crazy that he magnified the difficulty of the entire question several times.
You know, among the nine chapters of arithmetic, even the most difficult question only involves five people sharing the money or three people sharing the money.
"I can't solve this question!" After thinking for a long time, Yan Yi had to admit that this question was beyond his current ability.
……………………………………………………
The last chapter is public and will be released in the early morning~~~~~~
I feel so excited~~~~~~
So scared~~~
It’s a bit like when I chased my wife before she confessed my love~~~~~
Well, for the fifth question, there is actually a simplified version of the example in the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic in the Han Dynasty. By the way, I didn’t know the answer until I became a mother, so I’m the first to do it.
I admit that my math was taught by my physical education teacher....
After it is put on the shelves, it will be updated basically 3 times a day.
Tomorrow, if the subscription exceeds 1,000, 1 additional chapter will be added, if the subscription exceeds 1,500, 2 chapters will be added, and if the subscription exceeds 1,000, 3 chapters will be added.
Well, if you have the ability, I will update you 6 times a day, I will be cruel to you!
Dear readers, please support me~
