Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 99 Ye Xuan: Who said the selection was complete? I still have to re-examine! The examiners were dumbfounded!

Ye Xuan couldn't help but knocked his head and said suddenly:

"I almost forgot about this."

"That's the answer."

"You guys take it and check it."

He handed Yang Qianzhi and others the answers to the test questions he had prepared before.

Yang Qianzhi and others took the answers and looked at them together.

"let me see!"

"Don't crowd!"

"I'll see first!"

The examiners from the Ministry of Rites crowded together, scrambling to look at the answers in Yang Qianzhi's hand.

A+$7:......

He felt that the scene was like throwing a handful of feed into a pond, and a group of ornamental fish were scrambling to grab the food.

But what about?

The answers to the exam questions are here.

Everyone can see it.

It's not like fish feed, it's gone if it's robbed.

Ye Xuan shook his head and ordered:

"After you finish reading, hurry up and mark the exam papers."

More than a thousand exam papers.

There are quite a few test questions in it.

According to the correction efficiency of Yang Qianzhi and others, as well as the content of the answers of this group of candidates, I am afraid that it will take at least a cup of tea for them to correct an exam paper.

Ye Xuan picked up the brush next to him, dipped it in ink, and picked up a test paper on the table to read.

Yang Qianzhi and others were looking at the answers to the exam questions.

Question 1:

Now there is a person holding rice out of three gates, taking one out of three gates in the outer gate, taking one out of five in the middle gate, taking one in seven gates in the inner gate, and the remaining rice is five dou. How many measures does it take to hold rice?

This question is taken from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" by Ye Xuan.

Inside is the calculation of tariffs.

The idea of ​​​​solving the problem is: if you place five measures of rice, you can get one measure by multiplying two, four, and six of the remaining two, four, and six that are not taxed.

meaning is:

The remaining five buckets of rice are multiplied by three, five, or seven.

For the portion not subject to tax, three, five, and seven are each subtracted by one and multiplied together.

Divide the two.

The answer is available.

The answer is: 10.9375.

0.0.75 is 3/8 liter.

Therefore, it is three-eighths of ten buckets of nine liters.

"I see!"

"It turns out that this is how tariffs are calculated, and arithmetic should not be underestimated. Group

"This is the first time I know that tariffs are calculated this way!"

"Arithmetic is so amazing!"

"By the way, is this question too complicated? Why do I still don't understand it even after I read it again?"

They have almost never been exposed to arithmetic, and now a small tariff calculation problem can surprise them.

Mathematics is arithmetic.

During the Sui Dynasty, the Imperial College still had arithmetic courses.

However, it was not included in the special imperial examination items.

During the Tang Dynasty.

It's a little bit more about arithmetic.

The Imperial College also specially opened a math school.

Arithmetic is even collectively known as the Six Schools together with Guozi, Simen, Taixue, Calligraphy, and Legal Studies.

There are also PhDs in mathematics and teaching assistants to preside over daily teaching.

The teaching material is Li Chunfeng's "Ten Books of Suan Jing".

Although arithmetic was admitted to the imperial examination.

And after passing arithmetic, you can become an official.

However, the status of arithmetic was low in the imperial examination.

The number of students enrolled is small.

The doctor of the Imperial College who teaches is only the lowest-ranking official.

The students did not think highly of arithmetic.

Therefore, the number of applicants is getting smaller and smaller.

This subject is also useless and useless.

Until the late Tang Dynasty, arithmetic basically disappeared.

Subsequently, in the imperial examinations of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, arithmetic was not seen at all.

Officials don't understand arithmetic.

So.

They need to recruit people to do it.

As the saying goes, officials are officials.

Where there are officials, there are officials.

Officials are those who help officials do things.

Its status is above the common people and below the officials.

And they cannot be promoted to officials.

Things an official wouldn’t do.

Then, all these must be completed by "officials".

Including arithmetic.

Yang Qianzhi and others looked at the answers to the test questions with surprise on their faces.

The answers to the exam questions are filled with content such as astronomy, geography, arithmetic, and solving cases.

Make it an eye-opener for them.

At the same time, I half understand and half don’t understand.

They didn't expect that in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics in the imperial examination, there was so much knowledge, and the knowledge in the examination questions was all related to being an official.

"I never knew how much knowledge you need to learn to be an official."

"We are officials of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally we don't need to learn so much."

"But that's not necessarily the case for those candidates."

"If they really go to the local area to become county magistrates or prefects, they will naturally have to know some of the knowledge and logic of being an official.

Otherwise, if you listen to the slander and judge the case randomly, it will bring serious disaster to the people of that land. "

"That makes sense."

"Look at this question quickly."

“So fun!”

A certain Ministry of Rites examiner pointed to the answer to one of the exam questions.

Others looked over.

I saw it read: Beat the dustpan board [The dustpan can talk.

Examiner from the Public Rites Department:??

“Can the dustpan talk?”

They are stupid.

Even if they have never used a dustpan, they still know that a dustpan is a dead object woven from bamboo.

How can dead things talk?

"What are the test questions?"

Yang Qianzhi asked.

The examiner from the Ministry of Rites pointed to the question on the examination paper and said, "That's it."

The examiner from the Public Rites Department looked at it.

This question is about two civilians who are neighbors of each other, fighting for dustpans, one is drying beans, and the other is drying flour.

If you are the magistrate of a certain county, how should you make a judgment?

Examiner from the Public Rites Department:………………

Just a dustpan.

Is it worth going to court?

.....................

Isn't this nonsense?

The examiner of the Ministry of Public Rites also felt that the official position of county magistrate was really not easy, and such a small matter had to be handled personally.

"But why do we need a dustpan board? Could it be that the dustpan can really talk?"

"How can there be such supernatural things in the world? Don't talk nonsense."

"Then why hit the dustpan board and let the dustpan do the talking?"

"You'll find out if you keep watching."

They continued to look at the answer, and then the answer clearly said:

Hit the dustpan board and the dustpan will talk.

If the dustpan is used to beat out flour, then the dustpan belongs to the person who beats out the flour.

If there is nothing.

Dustpans are for those who dry beans.

The examiner from the Ministry of Public Rites suddenly realized.

"It turns out this is the method of 'speaking'."

"It's really wonderful to hit the dustpan board and make the dustpan talk. I'm afraid only Mr. Ye in the world can come up with such test questions and answers, right?"

After all the examiners read the answers to the test questions and their thirst for knowledge was greatly satisfied, they began to carefully correct the test papers.

00...

The room became extremely quiet, and from time to time there was the sound of examination papers being turned.

Yang Qianzhi and others frowned tightly.

This group of candidates will answer questions randomly if they don’t know how to do it.

The whole article is nonsense.

They were quite speechless.

Some candidates' nonsensical articles are quite beautifully written, but their answers do not answer the questions.

So Yang Qianzhi and others had no choice but to reject their answers.

Ye Xuan and others are correcting the examination papers.

Time flies.

In the end, based on the answers, out of more than a thousand test papers, only a hundred or so were selected.

These are barely passable.

Yang Qianzhi and other examiners from the Ministry of Etiquette were in a good mood when they saw so many people passing the test, and the fatigue on their faces was wiped away.

"Not bad."

"There are so many outstanding candidates."

They congratulated Ye Xuan one after another.

"Congratulations to Mr. Ye for selecting hundreds of outstanding officials for the imperial court."

"Master Ye has made great contributions this time and will definitely be praised by the emperor!"

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Yang Qianzhi and others with doubts on his face.

"Who told you that the selection is over?"

"This is just a preliminary test."

“I still need to re-examine.

?????

All the examiners were stunned.

WTF?

Do you want to continue taking the exam?

It is extremely difficult to pass the exam questions you asked.

The qualifications of these qualified candidates are undoubtedly top-notch.

However, even so, you are not satisfied?

Need to take a retest?

For a moment, all the examiners didn't know what to say.

What kind of geek can be selected from Ye Xuan?

The examiners were extremely curious.

...t..
