Jia Sheng held "Analects" and "The Mean" in his hands, but he was at a loss in his heart.

This thing is useless in your hand, what's the difference between it and a brick?!

There are a total of nine questions on this national examination paper, and the paper is divided into 10 points for each question, and 90 points can be obtained for all correct answers.

However, the paper is full of 100 points, and the remaining ten points are estimated to depend on the mood of the examiner.

Jia Sheng carefully pondered every word of each question in the exam paper many times.

I still can't understand every question.

But I still have to do it!

The first question is astronomical arithmetic.

At first glance, it is an astronomical exam question, but in fact, it is a pure arithmetic question.

But think about it, why did Xiao Duhou come up with this question? He probably wanted to say that origami can be folded to the moon, what a thought-provoking question!

The so-called God is not unfathomable, it turns out that the height can be measured.

Jia Sheng folded the white paper, and after folding it eight times, he couldn't fold it alive or dead.

As for the forty-first fold in the exam paper, the thickness can reach the moon, and he obviously can't do it in his life.

Fortunately, the exam questions require you to write down the calculation process for each step, and this calculation process can also be scored. So, he can still get a few points.

Jia Sheng spent nearly an hour using the "calculation" method on paper, and when he reached the seventeenth or eighteenth calculation, he could no longer calculate... can still be calculated, but it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is estimated that he will not be able to finish the national examination.

If he can get five points for this ten-point question, he will already be satisfied.

The fifth question, wood, copper, iron, three balls each one catty, the same fall, who hit the ground first?

This question seems to be the easiest.

It's all a pound of balls, so it stands to reason that they should land at the same time! ... Is it possible that it didn't fall at the same time?

Xiao Duhou's intention to come up with this exam question is to let the talents give it a try!

Jia Sheng didn't have any materials in his hand, so he could only temporarily find something to replace it, holding a paper ball, a brush, and a small stone, and pushing it down from the table.

"Puff~!"

The pen and the stone seem to fall to the ground at the same time?

The paper ball falls last?

No, try again, put it a little higher, observe it more carefully.

Jia Sheng's eyes widened.

After retesting it more than a dozen times, he finally felt a little bit in his heart... It seems that the stone is a little faster than the brush, and the paper falls at the back.

As for the other questions on the exam paper, almost none.

Jia Sheng's heart was sad, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Why is the Great Chu Dynasty National Examination so difficult? Why is the examiner a little dusk!

He wiped tears from his eyes.

I won't know the exam questions, so let's be blind, how many points will be covered.

Every time you get a point, you can eliminate more than a dozen talents.

Maybe the blind cat bumps into a dead mouse.

...

Inside the Tribute Temple.

1,200 talented people sat in the room with a dull expression.

Some were as stunned as wooden chickens, some were desperately hammering their heads, and some suddenly lost their voices and wept.

They studied the exam questions repeatedly, and the more they thought about it, the more confused they became, and their brains became a mess.

Of course, no matter how difficult the exam questions are, they can't stop a very small number of geniuses from blooming with dazzling light.

Sang Hongyang saw the exam questions, but he smiled.

Arithmetic problems, Confucian scholars probably want to die after reading it.

But it wasn't hard for him.

Who called him a wealthy businessman in Luoyang, learned arithmetic since childhood, and was the first mental arithmetic master in Luoyang!

"One, two, four, eight, six... One inch and two four... One point, three and one zhang... Seventy-one miles..."

Sang Hongyang muttered, closed his eyes and pondered, pinching his fingers and doing mental arithmetic.

After a stick of incense.

"Seven hundred and eighty thousand miles!"

Sang Hongyang came up with a terrifying number, took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of horror.

He pondered for a long time and wrote down the answer to the first question.

...

Dongfang Su was in the room, with Erlang's legs crossed, holding the national examination paper in his hand, relaxed and comfortable.

He has always thought highly of himself, and of course he has a great ability - that is, he never forgets the books he has seen.

And he loves to read miscellaneous books the most, and he learns everything.

This national examination paper is interesting, so interesting!

It's far more interesting than the county test and the county test.

In the first two rounds of exams, it was purely a nerd to take the exam, and if you can endorse it, you can basically pass the test.

But this third round of the national examination is really amazing!

People who don't have a good brain can't move an inch at all.

Dongfang Su two incense sticks kung fu finished the first question and started the second question.

"The second question of the national examination - physics exam question: water, why does it become ice, why does the gas disappear? How does it work? ”

Dongfang Su groaned and suddenly smiled.

"On the winter solstice, the water freezes. On the spring solstice, the ice sees the sun and turns into water. On the summer solstice, the water sees the sun and dissolves the gas. The changes in ice and water vapor between heaven and earth are related to the warmth and coldness of the four seasons. ”

"However, it is also common on weekdays. A hot pot, burned by fire, boiling, vaporized in an instant. So the principle is... Ice is hot and water, and water is hot and gas?

Opposite... Air is cold and water, water is cold and frozen?!

The change in temperature leads to a change in ice vapor.

Wonderful, wonderful!

Every winter solstice, the north wind is cold and the earth is snowy, the south wind is hot and the spring flowers are blooming. The earth is like a furnace, and the water vapor is scarce. In this hot and cold, there is a great truth between heaven and earth! ”

Dongfang Su waved his pen and finished answering the second exam question.

"The third question of the national examination - historical evolution and agricultural examination questions: stone tools, bronze tools, iron tools, steel tools, how much effect does the change of agricultural tools from ancient times to the present have on increasing cultivated land and increasing grain production, how much population has been increased, and how much national strength has been increased?"

When Dongfang Su saw this question, he pondered for a long time and couldn't help but marvel.

Since ancient times, the governance of counties and counties has only talked about how officials love the people like children and supervise farming, although they will also urge farmers to improve agricultural tools and utensils.

However, it was never raised to a high enough field of view.

Looking through the history books, a large number of bronze tools were used in the Spring and Autumn Period, the pre-Qin began to switch from bronze to iron, and the Great Chu had generally begun to use iron.

What followed was the "prosperous era" of the Great Chu Dynasty for sixty or seventy years, in which farmers reclaimed a large amount of wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River, the population increased dramatically, and the national strength expanded rapidly.

The pre-Qin Dynasty adopted the method of "ploughing and fighting to strengthen the country", and the fundamental lies in the improvement of agricultural tools, which is fundamental.

The little dusk is too good.

Xiao Duhou wants to hint to the talented candidates that work is the weapon of the country?!

"The fourth question of the national examination - medical exam question: How many plagues have occurred in Dachu? How to prevent it. ”

Regarding the plague in various parts of the Great Chu Dynasty, there is a detailed record in the Imperial Doctor's Order, which records various countermeasures.

Of course, there are also some relevant sporadic records in the local annals of various counties and counties, which can be estimated in general. There are even records of how to treat and prevent the plague.

It's just that the vast majority of readers have little interest in local history.

Very few people who read books will read it.

Dongfang Su wrote down the plague and the prevention and control methods he had seen in the local chronicles on the examination paper.

He has no doubt that he will soar to the sky in this national test.

The real benefit of Xiao Duhou's national examination is neither the Confucian scholars of the world nor the scholars of Jinling, but he is scattered in all corners of the Great Chu Dynasty and is a person with profound miscellaneous knowledge.

...

The third round of the national examination of Dachu was from the morning to the evening.

It's finally over.

All the talents came out of the Jinling Gong Courtyard, one by one in a trance, as if they had come out of a nightmare, and some even staggered, stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

Who am I?

Where do I come from and where do I want to go?

Why did I travel thousands of miles to take the Great Chu National Examination?

Collapsed, collapsed!

Bloody collapse!

In this Jinling Gongyuan, they deeply felt the humiliation and malice from Xiao Duhou!

This national examination paper is a brutal and inhumane destruction of their body and mind.

The Jinling scholars were weak one by one, and they were helped out of the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy, all covered in sweat, like a chicken that had just been fished out of the water, their eyes were full of sadness and tears, and they couldn't bear to look at each other.

"Wow~!"

A Xiucai crawled with a roll, did not need the support of the servants, and crawled out of the gate of the tribute courtyard with difficulty by gritting his teeth with his own strength, he suddenly became sad, howled and cried, and slapped his face.

"I'm a fool, I'm a hillbilly."

"I don't understand anything, I don't know anything!"

"I can't even answer a question, and I dare to come to the national exam!"

"Mother, I don't read anymore... I'm going to go home and farm! There are still ten acres of land at home, which is enough for me to eat. ”

"If you don't come, you won't come to the national exam!"

"As long as Xiao Duhou serves as the chief examiner, I will never participate in the Great Chu Imperial Examination for the rest of my life! Let's go home~! ”
