[When I am away from home, I have some problems with the writing time, so please forgive me. But what I promised will try to complete it, this is yesterday's one, today's continuation. Friends can watch it in the morning. 】

Wang Cunzheng rubbed his temples vigorously, wandering around the examination room with a tiger face.

Not only him, but the other examiners also looked like they had a headache and a toothache.

Before, Han Gang asked these palace examiners to list the forbidden words, which had already made them feel a headache.

And today, in the hall, the examination questions of the palace examination have changed again, not only adding an exam question with an unknown style, but also making unprecedented changes to the way of marking papers. This gave them even more headaches.

Needless to say, this must be Han Gang's handiwork, and there is nothing to doubt about it.

Han Gang persuaded the Queen Mother, not only for the new scholars, but also for the examiners, there was a problem.

In particular, the way of marking papers has become extremely complicated, and after grading, there is even addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which is more difficult for many examiners who study poetry and scriptures than to catch them on horses and gallop around the city.

The initial examiner and the repeat examiner are okay, just evaluate the ranking. As in the past, the papers were arranged in five grades according to their level, one, two, three, and four, plus papers that were classified as fifth class such as offense or disrespect.

But the task of the judge is heavy. Not only should the test papers on which the preliminary examiners and the repeat examiners differ and give their final opinions, but also the grade of the test papers should be converted into a 100-point system: 100 points for the first class, 75 points for the 2nd class, 50 points for the 3rd class, 25 points for the 4th class, and 0 points for the 5th class - this zero, which was not seen in the past arithmetic scriptures, only appeared in the recent "Nature", but when questioned before, Han Gang said that Kansai had it in the arithmetic book for children.

If it only stops there, Wang Cuntou will not hurt so badly, and the reason why he feels like he is going to crack is because there is still a calculation after this.

There are two questions for the candidates, one is the old style of the question, and the other is the new style of argument, which is divided into two papers. They will be sealed separately and then judged. However, the scores of these two papers need to be combined at the most extreme, not simply adding, but multiplying the two questions by a coefficient respectively, and calculating the results after the most exhaustion, adding both sides.

What is a coefficient called? What does multiplying by 0.7 and 0.3 mean?

When Wang Cun saw the instructions to the examiners, his mind was a mess, what kind of book is this? The other examiners were also stunned and couldn't understand it at all.

Fortunately, Han Gang explained a little later, that is, the annual interest is seven cents, the annual interest is three cents, and the interest is calculated through the principal.

Well, most of the examiners understand it at this time, but they still feel troublesome, after all, the money lending at home is managed by the account room, and the Hun family supervises it, and they are the head of the family who is inseparable, just take the money and spend it.

And compared with the previous marking method, the score is still calculated, is this really a palace exam?

When he first got the question, Wang Cun and the examiners all had the courage to question Han Gang.

Han Gang replied, "This is the simplest calculation. If you can't even do the arithmetic problems for a ten-year-old child, what will the world think? Why can those who are Jinshi be valued by the world and manage the government and the people? Just because of its ability and ability, it is beyond ordinary people. It's that the people who are born in the shade want to wait for the official of the Que Note, and they also have to take the Qiangu calculation, everyone is from the Jinshi background, can they be worse than them? ”

In other words, this is also the test question that Han Gang gave to the examiners. If they can't make the right judgment, it means that they are not qualified at all. Even the simplest arithmetic can be wrong, and they can still be expected to release the state and county without deceiving the officials?

Appointed examiners are rewarded if they are competent. If you are incompetent, you will be punished, and this is all right. For example, when ranking, the champion who is the last of the Son of Heaven will be placed in the lower rank, and the examiner will be fined bronze for improper judgment.

If it's just that maybe you might be fined copper, you still have to be mentally prepared. Now it is related to the opportunity to be out of the state and county in the future, or even promoted to a higher level, and the result of such a punishment is difficult to accept.

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, feeling that Han Gang was right, although it was very likely that she didn't understand the arithmetic that a ten-year-old child could do', but as a courtier, what could she complain about about it?

When the matter comes, can you still resign?

Or settle this farce sooner...... Oh no, it's a temple test.

Wang Cun and his colleagues made eye contact with their colleagues, and as a competent bureaucrat, the motto of their officialdom career was always not to seek merit but to seek no fault.

……………………

From time to time, the examiners stepped down from the top and paced slowly between the seats in the hall.

Although they all had gloomy faces, all of them looked like they were owed money and didn't pay it back, and even the footsteps were a little heavier, destroying the train of thought of a mentally sensitive candidate, but Zong Ze was not affected.

He held the pen and still carefully examined the question after the second half of the incense was handed out in the exam.

Zong Ze is very familiar with the style of the first question, and there should be a lot of candidates who guessed the question, just asking whether there have been any mistakes in political affairs since listening to the government, as well as suggestions for improvement.

However, for candidates, it is precisely because there are too many people who have guessed the questions and the questions are too vague that it is difficult to write such a question well, and it is even more difficult to be brilliant in hundreds of Jinshi articles.

Even after the end of the Ministry of Rites Examination and the beginning of the palace examination, Zong Ze wrote six articles specifically for different possibilities, plus the five selected articles in the past, several general directions that may appear in the palace examination questions are all within the scope of these eleven articles. Coupled with more than 100 long-examined battle sentences, Zong Ze is confident that he can deal with various situations.

The first question we are facing today is within the scope of Zong Ze's preparation, and it is the key point.

According to the opinion of ordinary people, good things must be said in this question. At least the hardships and hardships of the Queen Mother after she was ordered to be in danger are written, and at the same time, the great achievements of defeating the Khitan are also highlighted. As for any problems in governance, of course, it was caused by Zaifu, not the Queen Mother.

When Su Zhe raised the system, the virtuous Fang Zheng who participated in it was able to speak out, and attacked Renzong with hearsay rumors, and the Zai Fu and the examiners wanted to depose him, but Renzong said that he wanted to speak out, but he dethroned the outspoken person, Renzong did this, mainly because of his reputation, so that Su Zhe took advantage of the loophole. Wang Anshi, who later learned that the edict was alive and dead, refused to write an edict to Su Zhe, on the one hand, because of his stubborn personality - he was the only one who asked to depose Su Zhe, and on the other hand, he was also quite unsightly for Su Zhe's methods of being a longitudinal and horizontal family.

But when he participated in the system, Su Zhe already had the qualification of Jinshi, so he could have no fear. In other words, on the palace exam, with the same topic, see if Su Zhe dares to write like this?

Because Zong Ze had been prepared for a long time, after comparing the title and the surprising list of forbidden words, he found that the original article didn't even need to modify a word, just copy it directly. Because of his hard work for a long time, Zong Ze is confident that he can get at least one score that is not lost. And it doesn't take much time to write out the essay that you keep in mind, just leaving more room for the second question.

But when he was about to put down the pen, he silently repeated the exam questions again, and then again, and after the last time, Zong Ze put down the pen and turned to the second question.

When the exam started before, Zong Ze hurriedly skimmed through the two questions. The first question surprised him, and the second question brought Zong Ze astonishment.

The questions are very long, and the content of the exam questions is about Liaohu City. However, unlike the general question, there is only one broad question, but six pieces of information are given first. Starting from the Lanyuan Alliance, every ten years, the details of the Hebei Mutual Market, as well as the peace agreement reached after the Lanyuan Alliance and last year's Song-Liao War.

The examination questions are divided into three sub-questions: the first is to explain the impact and disadvantages of the border mutual market on the relations between Song and Liao through the materials given; The second is how to reduce the disadvantages and expand the advantages, and ask the candidates to give strategies; Thirdly, this strategy is discussed.

This is a question that includes both questioning and discussion. And it's so specific that it doesn't make it possible for candidates to piece together old texts.

After scanning it, Zong Ze immediately chose to do the first question first. When Zong Ze gave up on the first question again and began to prepare for the second question, he fell into deep thought again.

This question...... It's not good to do.

……………………

Zhang Dian held the question of the palace examination and was dizzy for a long time.

He knew very early that on the side of the political affairs hall, Han Jiang and Zhang Qi knew that they couldn't compete with Han Gang, so they simply let Han Gang do it on the palace exam questions. But Zhang Dian didn't expect Han Gang to give such a unique palace exam question.

Forget about the scoring method, Zhang Dian already knew what Han Gang planned to do, and he was not surprised. But the exam questions are different. He didn't know if the examiners had carefully read the exam questions after learning about the scoring method created by Han Gangsheng, but Zhang Dian was sure that when the new science and technology scholars in the hall had read the exam questions, no one would not curse the questioners. Even if he can't make a sound, he can still scold Han Gang's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The first question given by the Queen Mother was to ask Que Zheng, which should have been a question that came up with reference to the previous palace examination questions issued by the first emperor. The Zaisuki also polish it as usual,。

And the second question, the queen mother who has no reference object, can only give one direction. It's also very simple - to Liao. In other words, if it were other Zaifu, he would probably be able to write more than a dozen exam questions related to his northern neighbor with a pen. However, it took Han Gang half an hour, and he also sent someone to go through the cabinet library and take a few files, before he came up with this argument that made Zhang Dian want to scold.

He looked at Wang Anshi and found that the old man was staring at the question paper in front of him with full attention.

And so it was! Zhang Duan smiled bitterly.

There is nothing about qi science in the exam questions, and the new things in the marking have nothing to do with the candidates, only with the examiner, and there are only a few numbers to relate to.

But even if Han Gang involved a little bit of qi content in the exam questions, Wang Anshi might not be in the mood to deal with him now. The Great Song Dynasty's Pingzhang Military Affairs is now staring at Han Gang's second question.

Even the prime minister can't do it well.

It's so embarrassing.

"No one can get into the first class, or even the second class, the third class is difficult, and it is a blessing to be able to be classified as the fourth class, and most people don't want to write this question well." Zhang Dian whispered to Han Gang, "Yukun, did you take the wrong question?" This should be the exam question for the system! ”
