I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The three-hour exam was quite tiring. When the candidates walked out of the exam room, most of them were lethargic.

However, even so, after the exam, some scholars could not help but ask each other how the exam was.

It seems that they have forgotten that they should go back to rest at this time and prepare for tomorrow's game.

Four days in a row, four subjects completed.

Some candidates fell ill directly after taking the exam in the past four days.

After another five days, the review was over, and the rankings began to be released at the entrance of the major examination halls.

Those candidates came to the examination room early to wait, and their faces were full of anxiety.

This is the moment that decides the fate of your life, how can you not worry about it.

"Brother Yuan, I'm afraid you will be at the top of the list this time. After all, you came out of the university. Unlike us, you all rely on self-study."

While waiting, everyone started chatting.

"It's just a district test, it doesn't make much sense. The next township test is the most important thing."

Yuanjie said.

For students coming out of the university, the physical chemistry test center is relatively simple.

"I heard that your Majesty will also teach in person in the concept book of the Great Hall. In this way, Brother Yuan is also a disciple of the Emperor."

"In the past, His Majesty often came to give lectures in person, but since he ascended the throne, the number of times has become less and less, and it is difficult to come once a month. Moreover, the object of teaching has also become that part of the top students. Ordinary students like me, there are no more qualified to attend the class.”

Yuan Jie sighed.

Compared with the hardships in front of him, he is lucky.

But compared to the lucky ones and geniuses in college, he failed again.

You must know that some students in the university can still get Wu Changqing's guidance now, and if you have any doubts, you can write a book to Wu Changqing and ask.

This kind of treatment is comparable to that of a first-rank minister, who is the real disciple of the emperor.

And he can only be regarded as a name, fooling those who don't know the situation.

"That's not bad, at least I have listened to His Majesty's lectures."

Others continue to envy, that is the emperor's teaching. Throughout the ages, how many people can have this honor.

In the past, the so-called disciples of the emperor were actually just those who participated in the questioning and marking of examination papers by the emperor. Those who were personally selected by the emperor were called disciples of the emperor.

In fact, those people had never heard the emperor lecture.

It seems that the emperor who can lecture is Wu Changqing, who has created a precedent.

Those who can listen to Wu Changqing's lectures have a closer relationship with Wu Changqing than ministers.

This kind of relationship can simply envy other students.

As the Dahua regime became more and more consolidated, those who did not go to the university to study in time became more and more regretful.

It's too late to go again, there are more and more students in the university hall, so many that Wu Changqing can't teach one by one in person.

Wu Changqing now only occasionally communicates with those top students, pointing them in the direction of study and answering some confusions.

"The list is released, the list is released."

I don't know who shouted, and everyone flocked to the bulletin board.

The paper with the scores, ranking, and admission of each candidate was posted.

Everyone began to look for their own name, student number.

"Hahaha, I was admitted, with a total score of three hundred and twenty, and the ninth hundredth place."

A scholar said excitedly.

"Why didn't I get the 1,002nd place? I'm only eight points less than you."

Another scholar said in pain.

He scored 312 points in the test, but he failed. This result was difficult for him to accept.

This time, only the top 1,000 candidates were admitted, and the admission rate was only 20%, which was very low.

This is still Nanjing, enjoying some special care, and other places are even lower.

In places like Jiujiang and Nanchang, the target given by the imperial court is 10% admission.

This is also the result of comprehensive consideration from multiple aspects.

The first point is that there are many readers in Nanjing who learn new knowledge, so there will be more talents and more people who are worthy of being admitted.

And there are too many scholars in Jiangxi. If the standard is set too low, the number of people who pass the exam will be terrifying, and the imperial court needs to raise so many talented people is also a burden.

Moreover, Jiangxi is far from Nanjing, and if there are too many admitted students, it will not be easy for those students to come to Nanjing to take the exam, and the troubles on the road will cost a lot.

Absolute fairness only exists in an ideal society. In a real society, there are many things that need to be considered when formulating any policy.

Add some other factors, and it is even more impossible to be completely fair.

For example, Nanjing, as the capital, has gathered a large number of high officials and businessmen. The children of these people are all taking exams in Nanjing. Naturally, they hope that Nanjing's admission rate will be higher.

With the efforts of this group of people, many policies can be influenced.

"Brother Yuan, I've seen your results. You're amazing, with 482 points and tenth place. With this result, it will be easy for the follow-up examinations and jinshi."

Yuan Jie also smiled when he heard the words. The tenth place has already met his psychological expectations.

However, he also knew that it would not be so easy for him to take the subsequent examinations for candidates and jinshi.

Because now the exams are only for some young students who have not been known as scholars.

The scholars of the dynasty, as well as some more outstanding students in the university hall, will also join the competition.

Passing the township examination to become a juren is equivalent to having an official body, and can start from the lowest rank of petty officials.

The township exam is the most tragic hurdle.

"This exam question is really difficult. The first place Liu Shiyuan only scored 506 points."

"Tsk tsk tsk, both physical chemistry and arithmetic are full marks, only the easiest strategy theory got 202 points, who is this Liu Shiyuan?"

"You don't understand this, right? This kind of person has never thought of becoming an official. They follow the way of scientific research and go for the title."

"Strategy theory is not easy. I feel that Dahua's strategy theory is much more difficult than before."

Everyone was talking about it, and some people who knew it better were showing off their knowledge.

In the eyes of many people, policy theory is very important.

However, for a person like Liu Shiyuan who scored full marks in three subjects, it doesn't matter even if he gets a zero in the policy test.

At the end of the list, some candidates were happy and some were sad.

The admission rate is only 20%, so there must be more people who are worried.

Those candidates who are only a few points away from admission, with more than ten points, are better, they at least see hope.

Next, as long as you study harder, you can score more than ten points in the next test.

However, some students who only took one or two percent of the test were in despair at this time.

In the past, there were only two cases of selection and failure, and the level of the candidates did not have a clear measuring scale.

Therefore, some candidates who were not selected did not know how bad they were, but they could still maintain their confidence and continue to read.

But the current percentile system is a clear measure of a student's ability.

Those who have scored more than 100 points in the test, and then look at the admission criteria of more than 300 points, how can they still have the confidence to continue reading, the gap is too far.

For them, changing careers early is the way to go.

This is actually a good thing. In the old days, there were many candidates who spent their entire lives in the imperial examinations and did nothing.

These people, it's better to do something else.

Being an official requires a little talent.
