The discipline in the examination room was very good, no one maintained discipline, but all the candidates were silent, and after the papers were handed out, everyone was attentive to the papers, and no one exchanged words at all.

After all, this exam is to see what kind of ranking they have among the scholars in the county, which involves their own interests, so everyone takes it seriously.

Because there were not many people taking the exam, Li Rizhi directly asked people to print the papers.

However, the paper printed this time is different from the scientific examination paper of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, which is to print all the questions on a piece of paper first, and then send it to the candidates, and when answering the questions, the candidates answer on another paper.

Because there are not many candidates, and this is not a very important exam, and there is no need to be afraid of missing questions, how to be faster, how to facilitate candidates, how Li Rizhi came.

The exam time is one and a half hours, there is an hourglass timer, and the hourglass must be handed in when the hourglass arrives.

The questions of the first exam in the morning are relatively simple, basically the knowledge that readers usually have to master, but there are more questions, which mainly correspond to the examination of the Ming Jing subject, of course, the Jinshi subject also has to test these basic knowledge, but there are not as many as the Ming Jing subject.

For the basic knowledge, in fact, the level of the reader is basically the same, if there is really basic knowledge can not be answered, it means that the usual reading is really not careful, this kind of person belongs to the first batch to be eliminated, there is nothing to pity, reading like this, luckily to become the businessman's bookkeeper, it is already the highest peak of life.

Wen Dengke looked at this exam paper, and was slightly disappointed in his heart, because these questions were too simple for him, and if the questions were not difficult, it would be difficult for him to distance himself from other candidates, and he would not be able to show his ability.

On the contrary, if the test results are about the same, then he, a child of the Han family, basically can't compete with the children of those rich families, so if the exam questions are too simple, it will hurt him.

But since it is a simple question, then it is even more necessary to take the test carefully, Wen Dengko took the pen to answer the paper, he answered the question carefully, and after answering, he carefully checked it again.

At this time, it was not yet time to hand in the papers, Wen Dengke saw that some candidates had already begun to hand in the papers, but he was not in a hurry, and the exam did not stipulate that whoever handed in the papers first would have better results, and would not be ranked higher because of this, so why did he submit the papers early!

After stabilizing his mentality, Wendenko began to check the second time, and when the second inspection was halfway through, the time to hand in the paper was up, and the sand in the hourglass was leaking, and his own official came up to collect the paper.

After Wen Dengke handed over the paper, he thought about it in his heart, he felt that he would never answer wrong, after all, the content of this exam paper was more biased towards the Ming Classics, and it was basically memorized, and the endorsement was the easiest for him.

At noon, the county government is in charge of a meal, the meal is not rich, but it is very clean, mainly because I am afraid that the candidates will eat bad stomachs, in case of diarrhea and delay the exam, then it will not be done, so this meal does not pay attention to deliciousness, only pay attention to satiety.

Wendenko sat in his place and finished his meal quietly, although the meal was not rich enough, but it was already a pretty good meal for him, after all, his parents sold vegetables for a living, and there was usually no meat, at most they used meat oil to stir-fry vegetables.

There were two boiled eggs in this meal, and Wendenko didn't eat these two eggs, he put them away and planned to take them back to his parents, just one for each person.

During the meal, the candidates all sat in their seats, but their performance was different, the candidates who did not enter the county school were more obedient, and they did not speak loudly, but silently finished eating in their seats, and some took out books to read at this time.

But the students in the county school are different, they are all from rich families, and the meals provided in the county government can only be said to be edible, and if they want to say that they are delicious and meet their appetites, then no one will definitely think so.

Of course, they are not here to eat, so no one will find fault with this, but talking during the meal, it is unavoidable.

These students all attend classes in one place, and they don't see each other when they look up and don't look down every day, they are all very familiar people, and naturally form a small group.

Not everyone in the county school is serious about studying, and a small number of them are indiscriminate and messing around.

However, even if some students are messing around in it, their parents are also willing, because the students in the county school are either rich or expensive, and their families have quite a background, which is actually equivalent to the upper class circle of Qianfeng County.

No matter what era it is, the relationship between classmates is one of the most useful relationships, and the era of the Tang Dynasty is naturally no exception.

For them, these questions are not difficult, but it is one thing to know that the questions are not difficult, and whether they can answer them correctly is another thing.

One of the students kept saying, "Oh, I almost remembered it just now!" ”

Another student said, "Oops, I wrote one less word when I wrote silently just now, isn't that the end?" Only one word is missing, and the whole question is answered incorrectly! ”

The sound of sighs is endless, and some people even pat their thighs and slam their heads on the table, looking like they are in pain and regretting it too late.

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao stood outside the side courtyard, secretly observing the performance of the candidates.

Fu Guibao said: "If you want to talk about abiding by the rules, the children of ordinary people seem to be more obedient, but we have spent a lot of effort to set up a new county school, and the students in it are not very good, which is quite disappointing!" ”

Li Rizhi said with a smile: "That's not it, I think the students in the county school are more active, which will be more popular in the officialdom."

However, if they can't pass the scientific examination, they will never be able to enter the officialdom, so even if they are more good at being officials, they have no officials to do! ”

The two of them shouted a few times in unison, neither of them was from a poor family, but at this time, they both felt that the children of the poor family were more self-motivated.

At least in this big examination room, the behavior of the students is better than that of the children of poor families.

After the candidates had lunch, they rested for a while, and the second exam began, which was longer than the previous one, two hours.

The questions in the second exam are also different from the first, mainly in terms of strategy.

The first two essays are both middle-of-the-road, and basically the candidates usually practice this kind of topic.

Only the last question is the time strategy question, which is more difficult.
