Chapter 263: The Prototype of the Imperial Examination
Yin nodded to a few people expressionlessly, from the morning but now he has been assessing a student non-stop, and the consumption of energy is also great, and he is a little tired at the moment, and he is no longer in the mood to greet these young people.
It's just that when he saw it, his eyes paused for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
"Each of you took out a scroll from this pile of bamboo slips, and it was the content of your assessment this time."
Yin said lightly.
Hearing this, several people saluted, and some nervously pulled out a roll from the bamboo slips on the table.
There are almost more than 20 volumes in this pile of bamboo slips, and the questions in each volume are different.
Although this is unfair, this is the most scientific method that Yang Hao can think of at present.
After all, the paper has not yet been made, and the cost of relying on bamboo slips to complete the form of the exam is too huge.
The production of bamboo slips is a rather cumbersome thing, and now there are few candidates, and there is no way to use the current inefficient assessment method.
Seeing that several people had finished choosing, Yin said: "Okay, let's start answering now, there are five whiteboards over there, and the charcoal is also ready, just write the answer to the bamboo slip question on it, and stop the assessment within half an hour." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the sundial that was placed aside, and said, "Pay attention to the position of the shadow now, don't miss the hour, let's start." ”
Hearing this, the five of them hurriedly looked at the corona nervously, noted the position of the shadow at this time, and hurriedly chose a whiteboard and began to answer by themselves.
The whiteboard is no stranger to the students of Daqi Academy, and in the school hall in the school, there is a whiteboard that is much larger than the one in front of them.
Standing in front of his whiteboard, he unfolded the bamboo slips and placed them on the table beside him, looking at his exam questions.
Although there are many characters on the bamboo slips, they are all neatly carved and easy to identify.
If you are a person who does not learn and has no skills, you may not even understand the exam questions on this bamboo slip, and you don't care about the answers you have to answer later.
The students of Daqi University may have lived too hard, but for more than two years, they have cherished this hard-won way to acquire knowledge.
I quickly read the exam questions, and the text of the written exam questions was not too obscure, and it was not too difficult to read.
There are two types of questions, Chinese and Mathematics, which are also the only two courses in Daqi University.
Perhaps because of the small variety of courses, students in the school are much more proficient than children with the same years of study in another time and space.
There are a total of eight arithmetic problems in this bamboo slip, which are not simply applying mathematical formulas, but practical problems that are more suitable for real life.
Let's take the first question, for example.
A rectangular vegetable patch with a length of 9 meters and a width of 6 meters. A total of 972 kilograms of greens were harvested in this vegetable plot. How many kilograms of vegetables are harvested per square meter on average
There is a piece of land, nine long, six wide, nine hundred and seventy-two catties in autumn, and the grain collected per square meter is geometric.
This question involves the concept of area, and also examines the familiarity of these candidates with the four operations, after all, in practical applications, the most common is nothing more than addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
This question was difficult to solve, so he squatted on the ground and began to calculate with the wooden stick prepared by the school, and in a short time, he wrote his answer on the whiteboard.
Subconsciously looked at the sundial placed on the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, concentrated and thought about the next topic.
The questions were difficult and easy, until I finished these eight arithmetic problems, I found that almost half of the time had passed, and I couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
The rest were given a question called Composition, which was only one, but required to write more than two hundred and five crosses, and required that the sentences should not be repeated.
This essay question only gives a general range, which basically means that the candidate is asked to describe his vision for the future.
This question is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, it all depends on personal understanding and imagination, and Yang Hao's intention to come up with this question is also faintly with some strategic meaning.
After all, these students are all alternate officials of Daqi in the future, and their understanding of Qi politics is related to the future development of Daqi to a certain extent.
And from such similar topics, it can also be seen that these students recognize the country.
Yang Hao didn't come up with these topics to deal with himself at will, but after careful consideration.
I don't know if it's too hot or the topic is too difficult, but I feel that my mouth is dry and my brows have wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
This form of exam questions seems simple, Qi Zi has been studied for so long, and it is not a problem to write, but according to the requirements of the exam questions, for a while, some don't know where to start.
Time passes little by little, and I don't dare to delay, if I waste this rare opportunity, I don't know when I will wait for the next time.
The pressure of the exam questions makes the candidates not have the leisure to pay attention to other people at all, and the different exam questions also fundamentally eliminate the possibility of plagiarism.
At the end of the half-hour exam, the candidates put down the charcoal in their hands with solemn faces, and watched anxiously as the officials of the Ministry stepped forward to check their answers.
The officials of the ministry did not communicate, but looked at the candidates' bamboo slips, unfolded the bamboo slips in their hands, and checked the answers on the whiteboard.
The officials of the ministry were expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether their answers were right or wrong.
The process of waiting for the results is painful, and even if you have enough confidence in those arithmetic problems in your heart, there are some gains and losses at the moment.
The process of checking the answers is very fast, these are all fixed answers, but the last essay is reviewed by Yin himself.
The five of them didn't know what the final result would be, and they were taken away from the courtyard by the officials of the Ministry of Officials in a daze.
Yin stayed for a long time before obtaining the compositions, and then had them copied on the hides with a brush as fast as possible, and marked who had done it.
These test questions will be divided into a preliminary equal, and the final result will still be seen by Yang Hao himself, so although this copying step is a bit cumbersome, it is an indispensable step.
The examination lasted for a day, until the last batch of candidates walked out of the examination room exhausted, and the curtain finally came down on the first real imperial examination in human history.
Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the first imperial examination of Qi seemed so rough, but the impact of this system on human society was extremely abyssive.
That night, the officials of the Ministry of Officials lit expensive candles and sorted out every test paper with a lamp.
When the family was asleep, he sat alone in the courtyard and looked at the bright night sky, maybe praying to the stars and gods, or maybe he was just in a daze.
