Chen Lisen had been holding the pen for a quarter of an hour, but still couldn't put it down. He put down the pen in his hand with some annoyance, thinking that those people had memorized the answers in advance, and the math doctor from the Imperial College might not be able to solve these problems, right?
He and Qin Feng were not far apart. He turned his head and glanced, and Qin Feng's eyes happened to be looking over.
Chen Lisen opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, a cold voice came from beside him.
"Those who look around or whisper to each other will be treated as cheating!"
The palace guards who are responsible for maintaining discipline in the examination room do not care whether the other party is the heir or grandson of a minister. They are under His Majesty's order and dare to reprimand even the prince.
The expression on Chen Lisen's face froze, and he had no choice but to lower his head obediently, glance at the test paper - and simply close his eyes.
This exam was jointly organized by the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of Rites paid great attention to this. He looked at Chang De with a serious expression and said: "Mr. Chang, in order to prevent candidates from cheating, should we send more people to the examination room?"
Inspection?"
This exam is very different from the imperial examination. There are hundreds of students in each examination room. They are sitting next to each other and the distance is not far. It is easy to see the left and right. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this exam. If there is any fraud,
He has to take responsibility for the incident.
"Fraud?" Chang De sat calmly on the main seat and said: "It doesn't exist. They will never cheat in County Uncle Li's arithmetic test in their lifetime."
Chang De's words were very firm. The Minister of Rites still had doubts in his heart, but he also thought of another thing.
It stands to reason that Uncle Li, as the supervisor, must take part in the college's admissions exam, but here today, he has never seen the other party from beginning to end.
Is there anything more important to him today than this?
Compared to the Minister of Rites, several Ph.D.s of the Imperial Academy were quite leisurely, drinking tea leisurely in the side hall and chatting quietly.
The Imperial Academy of Accountancy has been temporarily merged into the School of Arithmetic. They will become teachers of the School of Arithmetic from now on. Although they still have to learn new arithmetic from Uncle Li for a period of time, they do not need to take the exam like those outside.
.
"I wonder how difficult their exam questions are..." a doctor of mathematics said curiously.
Uncle Li always had a unique style of writing questions. If the questions this time were the same as those used by the students of the Imperial College of Accountancy last time, the college would probably not be able to recruit all the 100 people.
Another doctor walked aside and said, "There are a few more test questions here."
The test questions this time were kept strictly confidential. Before the exam began, only County Uncle Li knew about it. The Imperial Doctor distributed several copies of the questions and took one himself to read.
"Master Li's question this time is quite satisfactory."
"Well, the question is on point. Although it is simpler than last time, it is not that easy to answer them all correctly."
"This time it's just for the college enrollment calculation. Naturally, there won't be any weird questions. Mr. Li also knows how to measure things."
Watching several colleagues chatting, the expression on the face of another doctor of mathematics in the corner was a bit stunned. He looked like he didn't understand what they were talking about at all...
The question is very simple - could it be that what I got was a fake test question?
"Master Han." He said to a colleague beside him.
The man turned around and asked, "Master Wu, what's the matter?"
"Lend me your copy of the test questions..."
…
…
This moment is the shortest moment that many people spend in their lives, and it is also the longest moment in some people's lives.
"Oh, give me half an hour, no, just a quarter of an hour, and I can solve that problem." A young man in shabby clothes said with a very regretful expression.
The companion next to him patted him on the shoulder and said: "One hour is a bit short, and I am one question short of solving it, but don't worry, most people should be like us."
The two encouraged each other a few words, and immediately felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
"It's so dangerous. I only solved the last question a quarter of an hour before the gong sounded, and I only checked it hastily." Another young man came out with a scared look on his face. When he saw the two of them, he asked: "Brother Zheng,
Brother Wang, how are you—hey, Brother Zheng, Brother Wang, don’t leave!”
Everyone who came out of the examination room had different expressions, some were happy, some were disappointed, and some were confused. Although they just needed to go home and wait for the list to be posted tomorrow, everyone did not leave, checking each other's answers with people they knew well.
Not long after, they discovered something very surprising.
"Hey, that's not right, why didn't I take this question? Are our test papers different?"
"I didn't hear what you two just said..."
"I am the same as this brother..."
"I understand. Although the questions are different, the solutions are actually similar. If you know one, you will definitely know the other. There is no need to argue. This should be done deliberately by the person who created the question to avoid fraud."
After understanding this, everyone began to look for their own organization, and not long after, small groups appeared outside the examination room.
At this time, people were also leaving the two examination rooms at the front one after another.
Many of the first people to walk out had a look of defeat on their faces. It was very difficult to sit there bored for an hour. In their opinion, this hour was longer than a day.
"The limit..." As soon as Chen Lisen spoke, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Don't mention it, I don't understand, what points..."
"I've never heard of it..."
Several people gathered together and all got the same answer.
Not a single question was touched, the test paper was already numbered, they didn't even have to write their names, the test paper looked the way it did when it was handed out, and it looked the same when it was handed in.
"I don't believe it. They can all answer it?"
Li Jianren slapped his thigh suddenly, stopped someone, and said, "Ma Jie, how many questions did you solve?"
He belongs to the generals, and bitch Li's father is a civil servant. They don't have much interaction on weekdays, but they are in a good mood today, and the test questions are exactly what they want. Ma Jie laughed twice and said, "I answered them all."
Li Jianren was stunned. The second son of the Ma family had the reputation of being a good man, and he had never been good at reading. None of them could answer any of them. How could he solve them all?
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Seeing Li Jianren's unbelieving look, Ma Jie snorted and said, "If I answer the question about mobilizing troops and transporting food incorrectly, won't my father break my legs?"
After saying that, she glanced at him disdainfully and walked away.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Jianren finally understood something, and immediately walked over and said to several people: "Our test questions are different!"
"I know." Qin Feng nodded, pointed at the crowd and said, "It is indeed different. We are afraid that we have encountered a difficult problem. His Majesty is indeed more biased towards the children of poor families."
Li Jianren said angrily: "That kid Ma Jie is really lucky!"
Chen Lisen said: "Let's go and look around to see where the people like us are."
More than ten people walked towards the crowd, and after a while, they came back.
Looking at the other teams of at least a hundred people, and then looking at the dozen or so of them, everyone looked gloomy. If you still don't understand how lucky they are, there is no use having this head.
