Cen Mai opened the door, revealing the inside - a locked wooden box.

Cen Mai made a gesture of please, Yi Zong stepped forward, took out his key, and opened the box, which was full of paper test papers that had been pressed flat layer by layer by layer of wooden slips.

Yi Zong smiled slightly, picked up a test paper that was pressed by the wooden scum, and looked at it in his hand.

As one of the invigilators in the examination room, Yi Zong knew that today's round of examination was divided into three test papers and 21 questions.

As a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, Yizong also knew that the Son of Heaven had decided to introduce a scoring system for all rounds of the examination in this examination.

In each round of examination, the full score is 100 points.

In the first round of examinations, there will be ten questions on the first paper, but each question is only three points.

In other words, even if all the questions on the first paper are correct, and all of them get a perfect score, it will only be 30 points.

And if you want to pass the first round of exams, you need to get at least 60 points to get the pass to be an official.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is that sixty points is passed.

These 60 points are also the watershed that divides straw bales and talents.

Yi Zong glanced at the test paper and nodded.

Truly!

The questions on this paper are very simple.

It's basically common sense that anyone who has read a book should know.

For example, a question asks: What is the title of Qin General Bai Qi?

Even a three-year-old child knows that the name of the Marquis of Wu'an, right?

There is also a question like this: Please list the title of the 21st rank of the military meritorious service of the dynasty and the corresponding number of land grants and the size of the mansion.

From the point of view of righteousness, these topics are given thirty points. What a waste!

As long as you're not stupid, you can read and write. You have to be able to answer these answers!

If you can't even answer these answers, then this guy. You can wash and sleep.

Yi Zong's mind was more delicate, and he noticed that there was a line of small characters arranged vertically on the right side of the test paper: If there is untidy test paper, smearing, or typos in the writing in this examination, 5 to 10 points will be deducted.

This line is small and hidden at the edge of the paper, so you may not be able to see it without carefully examining the entire paper.

"That's right!" Yi Zong thought to himself: "If you make a mistake in even the words, and the surface of the scroll is scribbled to a mess, such a person." What use do you want him? ”

Showing the test paper in his hand to Cen Mai, Yi Zong picked up the second paper.

Compared with the first paper, the questions on this paper are undoubtedly another dimension of storage.

Although the same test is also basic general knowledge.

But......

After reading this volume, Yi Zong clenched his fists and praised: "It should be like this, the person who came out of this volume should be promoted and placed in a more important position!" ”

Compared to the first paper, on this paper. There are only seven questions.

The first question is like this: Emperor Taizu Gao punished the white horse and what is the alliance?

The moment Yi Zong saw this question, he subconsciously gave the answer in his heart: If it is not the Liu family, the king, the world will fight together!

The second question is: Please try to describe the full text of Emperor Taizong's edict on defamation.

If any scholar in the world has never heard of this famous edict, then what kind of official is he still doing?

The third question is to ask Emperor Taizong Xiaowen about his merits.

This question. The imperial court has already issued an official explanation to the world, and it is enough to copy it.

The fourth question is the content of the edict issued by the first emperor after his accession to the throne.

From the beginning of the fifth question, it involves the edict after the enthronement of the present lord.

For example, the edict of Jiazi and so on.

All seven questions. Each course is worth six points, for a total of forty-two points.

In other words. As long as the first two test papers are answered correctly, no points will be deducted. Then, it should be more than enough for this round of examinations.

From these two test papers, Yi Zong can clearly see Jinshang's attitude towards the examination.

Judging from the existing questions in this round of examinations alone, the officials that Jinshang wants to choose are those who have a certain cultural foundation, are loyal to the imperial court, and are loyal to the Son of Heaven.

Those who do not care about the actions of the imperial court and are not sensitive to politics will be identified by these seven questions in the hands of Yi Zong in one fell swoop.

Even the imperial court doesn't care, the current affairs don't care, what is the use of a nerd who is immersed in reading, no matter how talented he is?

Judging from the righteousness, the person who wrote the question of this paper is simply a talent in politics!

He is well versed in the law of brainwashing.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that when a scholar encounters these problems in the examination room, even if he already knows the answer, after all, it is an exam, and it is also related to the future of his family, so he will naturally weigh it carefully and recall it again.

Then, the process of copying on the paper is itself a brainwashing.

More importantly, after this examination, I am afraid that the vast majority of young people who are interested in their careers will begin to study with the edicts and edicts of the emperors of the Han dynasty to fully understand the spirit!

This kind of examination question is simply too appetizing for the righteousness that has begun to favor Legalist ideology in terms of political tendencies.

It's just that what Yizong doesn't know is that these seven questions themselves were listed under the instruction of Liu Che, the emperor.

As a traverser, Liu Che is too familiar with the political activity of learning and implementing the spirit of the speech of his superiors!

Before the crossing, as a fart citizen, Liu Che certainly didn't have a good impression of this kind of fake and empty political performance.

But as the saying goes, the ass determines the brain.

When he crossed over, especially after sitting on the emperor's seat, he was shocked to find that the ideological education work of our Great Heavenly Empire was very advanced!

What does an official do?

Of course, it's to engage in politics!

How can a person who is engaged in politics not take a political stance? An official whose political position is contrary to the highest level, he knows what he will do with his ass!

It's good to take this thing, but if you don't control it, what if you make a political group like the Donglin Party?

Therefore, it is better to use the method of my Great Celestial Empire!

The Three Stresses Movement of Emperor Sejong of the Celestial Dynasty needs to be brought to this era in advance to run.

The work of political and ideological education should be talked about every year and every day!

How do you say that?

The Celestial Empire started from learning Taizu Thought and Taizong Theory, with horses as skins, capital as bones, and guns in hand, I have the world!

As for the Han room, a slight change is enough.

Anyway, the Celestial Empire does not have a space-time administration, so he can't come to the Western Han Dynasty to ask Liu Che for copyright fees.

What's more, in this pre-AD era, there was no Internet, no television, no media, and basically what the ruling class said, what was believed below.

There is simply no better fit for the Celestial Empire model than in such an era!

Yi Zong didn't know this, so he was naturally very curious and appreciative of the questioner.

Because, his position determines that he will naturally have a natural liking for Yiqiē's actions to strengthen the power of the central government.

He read the test paper and picked up the last one.

Compared to the first two, this paper has very few titles.

There are only four questions in total.

But the difficulty has skyrocketed!

Because they all do math!

The first question is quite normal, maintaining the same style as the previous questions: sending points.

It asks questions that are one of the foundations of arithmetic: Describe the Pythagorean theorem!

After last year's examination, the guy who doesn't know how to buy this nine-chapter arithmetic is stupid!

Of course, the score for this question is also very low, only five points.

The second question is also relatively normal, asking a question about land area, this kind of thing to calculate land area, in the grassroots yamen, is a very common and most common copywriting work, whether it is tax collection or property inventory, need to measure the land area.

As for the third question, as soon as Yizong caught his eyes, Yizong felt a little funny.

Isn't this the arithmetic question that no one answered in last year's exam?

It seems that today's son really attaches great importance to arithmetic!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have done this kind of fried cold rice!

As for the last question, after reading it, Yi Zong was silent for a long time.

Because, this question is exactly the same as the edict of the Son of Heaven asking the ministers two days ago! It's just that the tone and wording have been slightly changed.

To put it simply, this is actually a political question.

There is no fixed answer at all, and how many points are given depends entirely on the personal perception of the marking officer.

But the reason for Yizong's silence is not this.

The reason for his silence is that next to this question, there is a line of words that very clearly and clearly marks the score of this question: eight points!

And the previous two arithmetic problems, one is seven points and the other is eight points.

In other words, this question about national policy has the same status in the minds of today's children as those two arithmetic problems!

"Your Majesty, this is showing his importance to arithmetic with the most solemn attitude!" Yi Zong immediately thought of the key.

It's just that......

Is arithmetic really that important?

Yi Zong was a little unconvinced. (To be continued......)
