"I'll tell you. ”

At this moment, Examiner Ji suddenly raised a hand.

His eyebrows were tilted downward, and he looked sad, very unfestive, and did not match his name at all.

He followed Sun Boran to come, whether he was talking in front or sitting on the Taishi chair in the back, he didn't say a word, and he was very bored about the things around him.

"I also gave a score of zero, so I'll give you my reasons. Then he suddenly spoke, and said with little interest.

"Master Ji, please. Sun Boran nodded.

"The basic skills of this candidate are good, but they have all been tested in the hospital, and we are not taking the basic skills. Examiner Ji turned the charcoal in his hand. His hand was one of all the carpenters present, and his skin was rough and his knuckles were thick, and he was very unsightly. But the charcoal pen rotated between his fingers, light and flexible, as if it had departed from normal mechanical principles.

"These little cubs have passed the county test, and they have passed the government test. What are these two exams for? The basic skills have already been tested 800 times, and they have to wait until now?" he lifted his eyelids, his eyes swept coldly over the candidates below, and said flatly, "It's like a scholar's imperial examination, no matter how familiar you are with the three-character scriptures, you can get the middle show?"

His example was so powerful that Governor Deng could only shut up.

"Master Liu's pavilion is very clever, and he uses the simplest and clearest method. Just talking about this rack, I could have built it out of a sticky stick at the age of eight. Apprentices in their teens and twenties, in three days, can't even hold up the shelf, either they don't have a heart, or they don't have a brain, they have to eat duck eggs!"

"Our master carpenter makes things, regardless of whether they do it well or not, it is like that kind of thing that bears the brunt. No matter how well it is done, it's not a thing, so what's the use?" Examiner Ji finished slowly, leaned back in his chair, and said, "I'm done, I'll give so many points, and I don't plan to change." ”

"Master Ji is not right. After hearing this, Examiner Lu suddenly opened his mouth with a smile and shook his head, "It's not just the master carpenter who thinks so, all craftsmen are like this." The first important thing is something, and the second most important thing is whether it is done well or not. ”

"Yes. Examiner Xian said succinctly, and Examiner Liao nodded in agreement.

Several examiners, regardless of what school they used to have and whether they had any past barriers, reached a high degree of agreement on this matter.

The remarks of "is it a thing" of Examiner Ji and Examiner Lu are even more meaningful, and there are thorns in their words.

The scoring of the apprenticeship test is a matter for the examiners, and Governor Deng suddenly questioned it, but Governor Zhang did not speak on the surface, but in fact, he had already expressed his support. It's certainly not for nothing that they're doing so.

Even when they suddenly came here today to ask for a bystander, they came with a purpose.

The apprenticeship test and the 100-work test allowed craftsmen to participate in the imperial examination, which fundamentally touched the interests of scholars.

Although until now, the imperial court has not really selected artisan officials from this system, but the improvement of the status of craftsmen has been visible.

In previous years, in the apprenticeship examination, the chief examiner was a scholar who had passed the imperial examination, and the craftsman could only assist as a deputy examiner. But this year, from the chief examiner to the adjutant, all the craftsmen are in control, and the sense of crisis of the scholars has come.

But for some reason, the emperor's attitude towards this matter was very resolute, and some other key figures remained silent on this matter, so even if many people were dissatisfied, this matter was carried out as intended.

However, there are still differences in positions, so Governor Zhang will be willing to come here, and he will also acquiesce and even be happy to see Governor Deng come forward to find trouble.

But there is this, Governor Zhang and they want to regain the lost position, and the craftsmen and examiners don't want to lose the benefits they have won so hard.

So Examiner Ji was the first to stand up and speak, Examiner Lu was still worried about whether he was too fierce and too excessive, but when he looked at Sun Boran's face, he knew what to do.

After all, it is the examiners who have the final say on the scoring.

Several examiners unified their opinions and determined their scores, and Governor Deng had nothing to say.

"You are right, just like we write articles, poetry is poetry, Fu is Fu, there are no rules, bullshit, of course, you can't get points. Governor Deng said with a smile, patted his mouth lightly, and said, "It's vulgar, everyone laughs." ”

The two sides glanced at each other, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, but they finally tacitly continued to walk through the process.

The first score was settled, and then the second candidate's work was presented, needless to say, it was still collapsed, and he directly took a duck egg.

With the previous psychological preparation, the performance of the 215 candidates was much calmer, and he arched his hands and said loudly: "Thank you for the advice, the apprentices will work hard when they go back, and strive to get better results next year!"

The third and fourth candidates were also duck eggs, and although the reactions of these two were quite normal, the atmosphere on the field was inevitably sluggish.

"You should still go from the front to the back, and you can be happy at the beginning. Examiner Liao whispered.

"It's all these things, the good and the bad, first chew the rotten sugar cane, and the rest is sweet. Examiner Ji lowered his eyebrows and said, directly comparing these candidates to rotten sugar cane, and what he said was still the same poison.

At this time, Sun Boran frowned quietly and glanced to the other side.

Xu Wen and Jiang Wangfeng are gone, he just sent a little servant to find out the news, but no one has been seen until now.

Is something wrong?

He quietly glanced at Cen Xiaoyi's direction, a little worried.

At this time, the work of the fifth candidate was put on the stage, and the sackcloth was about to be removed, and a figure appeared behind the crowd.

Sun Boran has been paying attention, and when he saw it for the first time, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute." ”

He is the chief examiner, the focus of the audience, and his every move is watched by everyone.

So, all the candidates turned around together and watched the little guy walk over quickly to Sun Boran's side.

The weather is not hot now, but when this little guy ran over, he could still see the shiny sweat on his forehead, and the placket of his chest was also wet. Sun Boran originally wanted to blame him for coming back so late, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

Obviously, it's not that they don't want to come back sooner, but they really can't find someone right away.

"What's going on?" asked Sun Boran in a low voice.

The little guy was close to his ear, and his voice was soft, but the content of his words smashed like a hammer and made Sun Boran jump.

"What??can't see in the eyes?!"
