During the township test, there was a saying in the Gongyuan that there were internal and external curtain officials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a door in the back of the public hall in the tribute courtyard, and a curtain is hung on the door, and the back of this house is the place where Liu Cai, Zhao Hanlin and Chen Shu stay, and the main responsibility is to read the papers, which is called the inner curtain official; The promoters, examiners, and transcription officers, who live outside the curtain, are the outer curtain officials.

To the Jiajing period, the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty has been more than 100 years, and there is already a complete set of systems.

It is a major event of the country, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to this, you must know that people in this era can be officials! It is equivalent to the lifeblood of the country in the hands of these scholars, how can you let the country not care?

As a result, the era of inequality in the feudal era also rarely produced a more equal and just environment, that is, the examination room.

In order to ensure that the candidates selected are some real talents, the imperial court has exhausted all kinds of methods, both the punishment and the degree of attention are better than the college entrance examination in later generations, in order to prevent the candidates from cheating to the greatest extent, the imperial examination also used the method of transcription, and the transcription officer in the outer curtain official did this.

In order to prevent the internal curtain officials from recognizing the candidates' handwriting and cheating, the imperial examination papers submitted are copied by the transcription officer word for word, in other words, the handwriting you see by the marking teacher when evaluating the papers belongs to the transcription officer, not the candidate himself.

However, the road is one foot high, and some candidates have also come up with new ways based on this situation, such as the examiner who buys it with a few more hints at the beginning!

Therefore, the imperial court also stipulated that if there were more than seven characters at the beginning, the volume would be invalidated......

Anyway, there are a lot of rules and regulations for the imperial examination.

Therefore, in such a harsh environment, if your candidates can still be lifted, they will naturally cheer, I am afraid that there are not a few people who go crazy after winning the lift like Fan Jin.

……

Liu Cai let out a long sigh of relief and banged on the table with obvious joy.

"The test paper is finally finished!"

This year, there are more candidates in Shandong than last year, so the examiner's task is more onerous, not to mention anything else, it is a transcription, which consumes a lot of time.

"Tell the governor that there are two percent more candidates participating in the township examination this year than last year, but the illegal test paper is one percent less than last year, and the questions are more difficult, but most of the students still answer quite methodically, which shows that under the rule of adults, the style of study in Shandong has become stronger!"

As a rule, the internal curtain officer should report the examination results to the chief examiner at the end of the marking.

"Hmm." Liu Cai smiled with relief, although the officials said a lot of praise, but the results are here, naturally they can't fake it, and Liu Cai's heart is also bright.

Liu Cai seemed to have something in his heart at this time, there seemed to be a student in this year's candidates who had some impressions, but his head was a little dizzy, Liu Cai couldn't remember it for a while, and he didn't pay attention to it.

"Summarize it, fill in the list and print the list of questions at that time."

Liu Cai only took a short break, which urged the examiners to continue their work.

Don't finish grading the papers later, it's over, after the examiners finish the test papers, the examiners have to fill in the list and print the list of questions.

Filling in the list is to write the names of the candidates on the list, and the list of questions is to register for the course.

The imperial examination is a great tool of the country, naturally you will not be unfounded after the examination, generally the name of the person who won the promotion or the jinshi will be recorded in the Dengke record of the current dynasty, (except for those who have been deprived of their fame, the most famous is naturally the Huang Guan of the six yuan in the company, who was removed by Zhu Di after the Battle of Jingjing. Officials will pay someone to engrave it.

Today is the ninth day of September, and tomorrow on the tenth day of September, the list will be released.

At this time, it is the moment of the hour, and the inner and outer curtains are happy to moan, and the long case of the main examination and the invigilator is set up, and all the curtain officials are looking for a place to sit and fill in the list according to the signature.

lit the dragon door incense, knocked on the drum, most of the officials are not the first time to do this work, naturally they are hand-to-hand, it is already the fourth watch day after writing the main list, the examiners rest for a while, and then fill in the sub-list, busy for so long, and at dawn, this is the whole list, show the world.

……

"Li Gou's leftovers." Looking at this name, Liu Cai feels a little familiar, he has been too busy these days, and he can't take care of some things, but this name should have been mentioned by someone, otherwise where would he know?

Liu Cai knocked his head desperately, how forgetful are the nobles.

"Could it be that Li Gou of Yanggu?"

After knocking on his head, his thoughts were smooth again, and Liu Cai remembered, isn't Li Gou the student from Yanggu who made trouble in the Gongyuan that day, and can still sit in the number room for the exam?

"Lord Hui, it's Yanggu Li Gouyu." The commissioner said.

"Huh." The affairs have been busy, and it is not yet time to release the list, and Liu Cai is also idle: "Take the paper and show it to the official." ”

This paper should have been read by yourself, and the score should have been assessed by yourself, at this time, the examiner is not a violation of the law when you look at the original paper, after all, the matter of marking the paper has been done.

It is said that words are like people, and good writing does take a lot of advantage in the exam, Liu Cai just took the test paper, and said: "Good words." ”

If Liu Cai is in his forties and can dance with dragons and phoenixes, he would not be so surprised, but Li Gou is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his handwriting is quite lively, and even officials like Liu Cai are quite appreciative.

You must know that eighty percent of the officials in this era can write good calligraphy, and if you don't do it well, you won't be able to climb to the position of governor!

The examiners were surprised, this also came over, indeed, this son's handwriting is quite good!

The transcription officer of the township examination copied the original volume, so the examiner could not see the candidate's own handwriting, which was funny, so those candidates who wrote well actually couldn't take advantage of this field, or Gong Zizhen, who was calligraphy in general, could easily be lifted?

However, although the handwriting is good, after all, it is not an article, Liu Cai just praised it and stopped talking, and looked at the paper that the candidate answered.

"Hmm!"

Liu Cai didn't know why he was doing this, and he hummed deeply, and everyone didn't know why.

"It turns out that this article was written by this Li Gouyu?"

Obviously, Liu Cai has reviewed this volume, and he can't help frowning.

Zhao Hanlin took a look, and what Liu Cai was looking at at at this time was the candidate's current affairs, and he was talking about how to resist the Japanese.

In fact, Gou Yu also learned the same way, and revised the original policy theory of the scientific examination and copied it.

Liu Cai frowned, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then he said after a long time: "The time has come, let's release the list, and tomorrow I will hold a deer banquet in my governor's yamen." (To be continued.) )
