I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

At the beginning of June, the final exam of Dahua's first imperial examination was held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony in the imperial city.

The palace exam is different from the previous exams. There is only one subject in the palace exam, and that is strategy theory.

There were not 300 people who came to take the exam. Among the tribute students who had been admitted before, some special talents had been directly appointed officials, and there was no need to take the palace exam.

Dahua is different from before in many aspects, and this Dahua is almost used to it.

Only more than 230 people participated in the palace test, so the competition was relatively small.

There are five questions in the palace exam, one each for economy, military affairs, people's livelihood, administration of officials, and education. Candidates choose one of the questions as the main test, and the other four as supplementary questions.

When calculating the final results, the main test scores are the most important. If the main test scores are similar, then look at the auxiliary test scores.

The purpose of Wu Changqing's design of this scoring standard is also very simple. He needs highly professional talents.

People who score 80% in each field are inferior to those who score more than 95% in a single subject. This is Wu Changqing's point of view.

However, because these are the top talents in the empire, and their knowledge must be broad, they cannot only test one aspect. They don't need to be proficient in other areas, but at least pass.

If there are great flaws in other aspects, this kind of person is destined to be unusable.

In the face of this novel rule, some candidates are happy and some are sad.

However, they all guessed the intention of the imperial court, which was to choose the direction of becoming an official based on their exam results.

To answer economic questions, it is natural to go to the Ministry of Commerce or the Ministry of Industry. The answer to the question of education is naturally the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, it is very important for them to choose the subject of the main examination.

You can't choose a question just because you are good at it, but also consider your own preferences.

Some people even consider the degree of competition in various departments. The competition between the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Personnel is definitely the largest, and it is more difficult to test.

If you choose an unpopular military department, it may be easier to get ahead.

After all, different people have different choices.

The palace exam will be over in one day, very soon.

However, it took a long time to correct the test papers. After all, this is the last review, so you need to be very careful when giving points.

Many papers require two or more officials to discuss and give points together.

After all, policy theory doesn't seem to have a fixed answer to math and chemistry.

Even some of the questions, even the officials who revised the volumes, did not know how to answer them.

These are all problems that Dahua needs to solve at the moment. If they had a brilliant solution, they would have offered to Wu Changqing for credit.

Some candidates' answers were unexpected even by the examiners, and they called it wonderful.

After seven or eight days, the examination papers were finally marked.

On June 8, the candidates gathered in the Hall of Preserving Harmony and waited for the results to be announced.

"The Emperor is here."

With a loud shout, all the candidates hurriedly saluted.

It's not kneeling. Dahua's rules generally don't require kneeling, just bowing and bowing.

Only major sacrifices, celebrations, court meetings, etc. need to kneel, and no other times.

This can be regarded as a gift from Wu Changqing to the officials, so that they can retain their dignity most of the time.

As for taking off the minister's pants and spanking in public, there is no such thing in Dahua.

Anyone who has committed a crime can depreciate the value of it, and there is no need to humiliate the other party.

Wu Changqing sat on the dragon chair and said briefly: "Although the results of the exam are out, it doesn't mean anything. The knowledge on paper is often different from the problems encountered in the actual office.

I have always focused on practical ability. Even if I don’t do well in the test now, and the starting point is a little lower, I will perform well in the actual work in the future, and I can still be entrusted with important tasks in the future. On the other hand, those who do well in the test now, but are old-fashioned, who do not know how to adapt and only talk on paper, will also be eliminated in the future. "

After he finished speaking, Feng Debao began to read the results.

The 55th to 232nd are all three top-ranked Scholars. They will not be awarded on the spot. They need to go to the Ministry of Personnel, which is decided by the Ministry of Personnel.

However, their official positions are generally eighth-rank, or from seventh-rank.

The 4th to 54th are the second-class jinshi, and they will not be awarded on the spot, but their starting point will definitely be better than the third-class.

The top three are the first-class jinshi, the second-ranked champion and the third-ranked flower, and will be awarded directly.

The first to read was the top three jinshi, and the candidates whose names were read were all depressed.

Because, whoever came to the palace exam, the worst was the top three jinshi.

They worked hard to take the test, and they all came to the top two and the top one.

Li Yao nervously listened to Feng Debao's recitation, for fear that he would read his own name.

After all, his grades in the general examination are not very good, and now the possibility of taking the top three is also very high.

However, to his surprise, he didn't hear his own name when he finished reading all the top three lists.

This made him ecstatic, almost unable to contain his joy.

If you can be admitted to the top two, you will start with at least the seventh grade in the future. This starting point is already quite high.

If this seventh-rank is still the magistrate of the ruling party, it will make a lot of money and have a bright future in the future.

The list of the top two has been recited again and again, and has been recited, but Li Yao has never heard his name.

This made him panic, and he didn't believe that his talent could be ranked in the top 1.

Neither the top three nor the top two have names, most likely because of themselves

Lost. This, too, has precedent.

Some Gongsheng Hall exams were so bad that when the emperor couldn't bear to look directly, he would deprive him of his status as a Gongsheng.

Thinking that he might have encountered such a situation, Li Yao was inexhaustibly angry and resented that the examiner who approved the papers had no discernment and could not see his talent.

Equally depressed is Cai Zhongyuan. He can take the second test, but now he didn't get the first grade, which is a malfunction.

"Undergraduate Tanhua, Changzhou Li Yao, director of the Zhejiang Department of the Ministry of Housing."

Li Yao was already dumbfounded when Feng Debao read out the third flower in the first class.

What's going on here? Could it be that I have some extraordinary talent that I didn't even notice, and then was recognized by His Majesty's eyes?

Li Yao's mood went up and down for a while, it was really exciting.

What made him even more puzzled was that he was clearly assigned to the Ministry of Household because he was chosen as the head of the examination.

Li Yao was stunned and delighted, while Feng Debao continued.

"Second undergraduate student, Suzhou Qian Xuemin, director of the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Education."

"Undergraduate champion, Jiujiang Ouyang Shiqi, was awarded the magistrate of Shanghai County in Songjiang Prefecture."

Dahua's appointment of officials is so capricious.

According to common sense, a first-class jinshi will be awarded the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to revise history books, and cultivate prestige.

After waiting for many years, he came out and became a high-ranking official directly.

Wu Changqing doesn't do this, it's a waste of real talents to be sent to be librarians.

Throwing them directly to the post to experience is more effective than reading any history books.

The things in the history books are very different from the current society.

If you can govern the country by reading all the history books, then all officials should read the history books after that.

Ouyang Shiqi and the others didn't have a very obvious reaction when they heard that they had been granted an official position. Anyway, there were a lot of strange things happening in Dahua, and everyone was not surprised.
