I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On the fifth day after the announcement, the township examination began.

Today's imperial examinations no longer span a whole year as before, but are directly completed in a short period of time.

Therefore, after the academy exam, many candidates who were successful candidates did not go back, but continued to study hard and waited for the rural exam.

The scale of the township exam is much smaller than the previous academy exam.

In the examination room in Nanjing City, there were only more than 1,500 talents who came to take the examination.

The other Nanchang, Suzhou and other test centers add up to less than 20,000 people.

And among these 20,000 people, only less than 1,000 were able to pass the exam. The success rate was about 5%, which was even more cruel than the hospital examination.

The format of the township examination and the academy examination is similar, and it is also a policy theory plus three optional subjects.

However, there are two more optional talents in the rural examination.

Candidates can choose to take the exam, or they can choose not to take the exam.

However, for those who choose to take the test, the scores of these two subjects will also be added to the total score.

Therefore, unless it is a genius and a wonderful work, they will choose to take the test. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. What's more, the two subjects add up to 60 points, which is quite a lot.

Admission, the examination of the township examination is much stricter.

Every candidate was touched all over his body, and he almost took off his pants to check if his younger brother had written down the answer.

This is an exam that changes fate, and naturally some people will take risks.

As a result, when entering the venue, you can often see a candidate crying and being dragged out.

These are all candidates who were caught with cheat sheets. Most of these people's lives are ruined, and they are not eligible to take the exam in the future.

Yuan Jie was speechless when he saw this kind of person. Nowadays, the content of the exam is more and more inclined to understand and analyze, and there are fewer things that need to be memorized by rote.

Entrainment cheat sheet, in fact, the effect is not great.

It's not worth taking such a big risk for this little profit.

In fact, such candidates are relatively easy to guard against. The most feared thing in the imperial court is that there are officials who collude with candidates, which would be much more troublesome.

In order to prevent cheating, Qian Qianyi and others also came up with a lot of methods.

Important things like exam papers will not be taken out of the secret room until the moment the exam starts.

Moreover, a total of at least three officials from different departments check the seal.

Once the seal is broken, the exam can only be terminated.

Fortunately, in this rural exam, those candidates did not encounter such unfortunate incidents, and the exam papers were distributed smoothly.

The first exam is still policy theory, but the exam questions have been changed.

Yuan Jie opened the test paper and began to review the questions.

The first question is on the way of being a minister.

Yuan Jie was speechless for a while, this is too difficult.

In fact, this question was quite easy to answer before, and it was nothing more than to be loyal to the emperor, to the court and the like. But in the current Dahua, it is not easy to answer.

Because there are too many surrendered officials in the court, there are many people who have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Dahua. Some of them are even more outrageous, and they even loyal to Dashun.

If according to the previous way of writing, it is said that an official must be loyal to the court, and a careless one will sting the hearts of those who surrender.

For example, Qian Qianyi is a second minister when he reads the papers. If he scolds the surrenderer for lack of loyalty in the discussion, it will not scold Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi saw such an answer, can he give a high score?

However, candidates can't tout those who surrendered. This is not to tell the court that he has no loyalty, and that he is just trying to make money.

Is this kind of person sure the court will use?

Although this is true, it cannot be said.

In short, this question is not easy to answer, there are too many minefields, Yuan Jie chose to skip it.

The second question is about the impact of land consolidation on society and the solution.

It is another topic of great interest. Land annexation has always been a big issue. Anyone who has read history books knows this, but it is not easy to give some insightful insights.

As for the solution, don't even think about this.

If there is a solution, they can enter the cabinet directly, and the emperor will ask them to preside over the reform and enjoy the same treatment as Wang Anshi.

Of course, the person who asked the question did not expect any of the candidates to have a solution.

When the examiners revise the papers, they mainly use their opinions to judge the talents and thoughts of the other party.

Just like grading a composition, no grading teacher will have to ask the essay to reach full marks. Anyway, what level is given, what score is given.

The first two questions are difficult, and the last three questions are not easy.

This time, even Yuanjie had a sad look on his face when he came out after the exam.

Some of the other candidates were even more unbearable, each with a face like a mourning concubine.

Strategy theory is not easy to test, and the same is true for the optional subjects that follow.

Especially for those former scholars, after they chose the eight-part essay and arithmetic, they had to choose at least one more subject.

And this subject will often cost a lot of people's lives.

Not to mention those flexible and complex physical experimental calculations, it is just some common physical concepts, which are difficult for these people to answer.

For example, what is friction.

This is the easiest question in this physics test, and it will be given as a sub-question.

But there are many former scholars, and he can't answer well.

very

In fact, some people know what friction is, but they just can't express it accurately in words.

This is mainly because they are not used to using the vernacular, and they always like to use it.

However, there are too many new words and concepts in today's physics discipline. These things have to be described by idioms or classic sentences, which is simply impossible.

In short, this is a problem. Among those former scholars, many people are not suitable.

It's understandable to fail the physics test, and some people can't even pass the math test.

In the previous arithmetic, numbers were represented by words, which was very inconvenient.

In the new arithmetic classroom, symbols have already been used instead of numbers, that is, Arabic numerals.

This kind of thing that can simplify the calculation, Wu Changqing will not reject it, just use it.

Therefore, the numbers on this test paper are all Arabic numerals.

Old-fashioned scholars find it difficult to adapt to these ghostly drawn Arabic numerals.

Moreover, the arithmetic used to be very simple, nothing more than some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Although there are also one-variable linear equations and two-variable linear equations, those serious readers will not learn.

Now that they have to take the exam suddenly, they have a headache.

In this math test, the simplest question is the solution of a binary linear equation, there are also a large number of ternary linear equations, some practical math problems, and even a calculus.

This thing, people who have learned it are still confused, let alone those who have not learned it.

What makes them even more broken is that there are many geometric calculation problems in arithmetic.

The simplest is to use the Pythagorean theorem and other complex proof questions, and those candidates are even more confused.

This made some people who chose to take the math test regret it. If they knew it earlier, it would be better to choose a subject of geography.

That thing, as long as you memorize more books, you can still get a good score on the test.
