The imperial examination lasts for three days, and the additional examination takes four days. In fact, this scientific examination is not very complete, it is said that farming, commerce and craftsmen should also be used as a bonus exam, as a fifth exam or something.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and perhaps the accumulation of experience is insufficient, but there is practical work experience, which is also considered a talent.

It's just that according to Xun Yu, this is the first scientific examination in the end, and it is not surprising that the candidates are not prepared enough. If it's too demanding, there may end up being few people who can qualify.

Compared to the selection of real thousand-mile horses among thousands of horses, it is already very good to be able to select qualified war horses among a group of horses.

Judging from the number of people referred to this time, there is indeed no possibility of demanding. At first, I thought that there should be nearly 1,000 people, but the actual number of people who signed up was 500. Picking and choosing, being able to pick a hundred good ones is already a good result.

Candidates have to take the test for a few days, but the test papers that are completed on the first day will be collected and then the names of the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard will be obscured. After the name is confused, it is handed over to the little official to write.

Many officials competed for this job, because they could feel the level of these scholars up close. Many of them are children of wealthy families, and they can learn a lot from their articles.

Although they are small officials, most of them are working hard, hoping to become officials one day. After the reputation is written, it is handed over to the examiner for review, and as for the handwriting, of course, it is scored first, and then deducted.

"Bullshit doesn't make sense......" After reading two copies, Lu Zhi sighed.

I know that there will be a lot of people who are confused, but at least you have to have some confidence in your own culture before you dare to refer to it. After reading a few books, I don't even understand the meaning of the classics, so I participate in the scientific expedition, which is simply playing tricks on them.

"Don't forget that Your Majesty said that even if it is one or two points, at least there must be a score." Wang Yun reminded.

"Look at this thing......" Lu Zhi shook his head, and then swept it over, he couldn't stand it, and handed it to Zhu Jun.

"At least it's convenient...... Liu Yuanqi said with a smile, "You can almost correct it with a few glances, so it's easy to get down to five hundred copies." ”

Five people watch a test paper at the same time, and then score it uniformly, and the final score is obtained according to the average score. After all, each examiner's preferences are different, so it's more fair.

It's just that Rao is like this, this terrible exam paper, the final score is only five points, and the total score is 100 points. The only point is that there is a fill-in-the-blank answer.

"Good exam papers are not without ......" Huangfu Song picked up an exam paper, "This writing should be very good for you." ”

"I'll take a look......" Lu Zhi took it, his eyes swept over, he was stunned for a moment, and then he tasted it carefully, thinking it was a little interesting. It's not that the answer is interesting, but this article fits his mood very well.

After reading it carefully, he nodded and said, "The writing is a little immature, but it is still a very good article." ”

"I didn't expect to read three test papers, and there was already a good one, but unfortunately it was only written with a reputation, and the original was already famous, so I didn't know which one it was." Huangfu Song said with a smile.

"I don't think it's good!" Liu Yuanqi glanced at it, "This article is written, and I feel that it is criticizing De Ran for abusing immortal arts, and he failed to calm down and deal with government affairs." ”

Maybe there is indeed part of the truth, but Liu Yuanqi doesn't buy it when he criticizes his son like this. Needless to say, if you score 100 points, even if the test paper is good, you will be given 50 points at most.

The emperor and the judges are sometimes so arrogant, so arrogant that the other judges can't do anything.

Is this a bashing? It can only be said that he is admonishing, hoping that Liu Tao can rely less on immortal arts and more on his courtiers. This is actually the voice of many people, and there are too many cases of Liu Tao's arbitrariness.

Sometimes, when I think of any policy, I plan to implement it, without considering whether the officials can withstand the temporary work of adding stops. There are only a few who can persuade him, and they have to debate for a long time.

In private, some people have already jokingly said: It is becoming more and more difficult to be the official of this big man.

The problem is that Liu Yuanqi doesn't buy it, and they can't help it, but fortunately, five people revise the paper together, and the four of them give it a higher level and pull the average score higher, which is also the only way.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the classics are poor, Liu Tao also said that the classics only look at a person's knowledge accumulation and character, and the focus is on criminal law and policy theory, which are directly related to the part of future work.

Pragmatism, this is what Liu Tao implements. If he could, he even planned to study the civil service examination in later generations, and make a big synthesis of language, mathematics and politics, and then add a policy theory.

As for the criminal law, of course, it is necessary to further split the yamen, so that the county magistrate can only be responsible for governing the local area and maintaining local law and order. The suppression of rebellion was entrusted to Wu Meng, and at the same time, a special agency directly under the Criminal Department was set up to be responsible, such as a 'court' or something.

There is another procuratorate, similar to the institution of the imperial history, but more formal. At the same time, it accepts petitions, petitions and reports from the people.

Of course, these are not easy to say now, so Xun Yu will have to go to the city wall with six books......

When the time comes, it would be good to set up a special judicial examination to select legal talents. Or in addition to the comprehensive ability test and policy theory, add a subject to the test, mainly for this special position.

Sometimes he can't understand why the ministers still feel that they are too busy to finish their work, he has been so restrained? Obviously, if these measures are implemented, their work will become more convenient in the future.

Time passes little by little, and for a few middle-aged people, it is really a bit tiring to keep grading the test papers. Nearly 500 copies of the test papers were placed in front of them, some of them were swept over, and they could probably give a score, and some of them were worth savoring.

"How long is the third day of exam?" Until the correction was completed, Lu Zhi asked casually, and the whole person was slightly tired.

"There are still three hours to start the exam, and the next day's exam paper will be completed." The little official hurriedly said.

"How about a three-hour rest?" Lu Zhi looked at a few people, and the other four nodded one after another.

The first time I became an examiner, it was fresh at the beginning, and after reading too many test papers, I was less interested in it, and I was more tired. Then I thought that the five of me would determine the future of these five hundred people, and I felt more of the weight on my shoulders.

After three days, or four days for a few, the examiner said that the candidates would be asked to leave the venue and wait for three days before the list was announced. In fact, in another day or two, the correction will almost be completed, and one day will be reserved, mainly to make the list.

It is said that if it is postponed for five or ten days, then everyone can have a good rest and not be in a hurry. Just thinking that this is the first scientific examination, the candidates must be in a hurry, so they all riveted enough strength to review.

"Do you still want to be the examiner next time?" Until the third list was confirmed and the compilation began, Lu Zhi looked at the other four.

"Don't!" The four replied firmly.
