24 Examinations (Part I)

The test began.

I tore the envelope and thought about things.

It's a test – but what is a test?

Some people say that it is talent that will be examined.

But I think that what will be tested is the ability to follow the wrong - it is easy to see from its system and the subject.

It prohibits civilian examinations and imposes a myriad of other restrictions. If the imperial court needs talents, why are there restrictions? It is clear that it is an unequal class system in itself, a "general system" that perpetuates the unequal class system.

It has only two titles, the first is loyalty to the emperor, and the second is the recitation of the King James books. The former examines the mentally retarded mind, while the latter examines the limited abilities that can only recruit mediocre fools or hypocritical geniuses.

The so-called "Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is Tianzitang" is nothing more than confusing, deceiving, and delaying the common people. "Chao is Tian Shelang, Dusk Dengtianzi Hall" means "Four billion people are Tian Shelang, only one person Dusk Tianzitang", which means "I am Tian Shelang, and others are Twilight Tianzitang" - this probability is not as big as the odds of the lottery!

……

Or maybe not?

If the exam is "reverse elimination", then why do you need an elite exam? Isn't that recruiting some smart people? If not, it means that it still makes sense to try, at least to recruit some talents?

Maybe recruiting talents, and then castrating them, is equivalent to eliminating future traitors and consolidating the court? So why restrict? Isn't that a fish that slipped through the net? Then why use the obviously wrong King James books for the exam?

……

Either way, who chooses the examiners? And who chooses the examiner? How is the purpose of the examination achieved? ……

……

It's annoying!

It's annoying!

It's annoying!

I tore open the envelope and looked at the title.

Wow, just a thin piece of paper with eleven questions on it, each with one line of words. It seems that this year is a bit special, in previous years there were only ten questions, and each question is not as short as this year.

The questions are short and simple. Such a simple question, anyone can do it, how to select talents?

Let me think about it again, damn, my heart is cold, no one knows such a difficult question, how to select talents?

The first five questions are science, with correct answers, and are considered basic questions.

The last six questions are liberal arts, all of which are subjective and advanced questions.

Damn, the exam office can really make questions!

The first question of the exam, "You passed the Nine Dragons Wall at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, which Nine Dragons are the Nine Dragons?" ”

This question is considered an elementary school question.

This question is a test of memory, to be precise, a test of memorization of the "Four Books and Five Classics of the King James Order". If Mr. Our village private school saw it, he would definitely stretch his voice and say loudly: "Students, this is a question to be scored!" Send sub-questions! "Imagine an old man with his eyes closed, his right hand raised, and his tone elongated.

In fact, for tens of thousands of years, the name of the Nine Dragons has been uncertain, who knows which Nine Dragons are - and what the meaning of the names of these dragons - besides, which dragon is in this world? But when the "Four Books and Five Classics" of the dynasty clearly stated the name of the Nine Dragons, then the Nine Dragons existed, and they had their own names, and their own names were called those names. As for the names of the past and the future, it doesn't matter so much - say you are, you are, and you are not; Say you're not, you're not, yes and no.

The correct answer to this question is: "Prison Ox, Piercing, Mocking Wind, Pu Prison, Cunning, Cunning, Cunning, Cunning, Negative, Kissing".

If you write so, of course you are. But if you want to stand out among the thousands of people who can take the exam, then you can't just write these eighteen words. Everyone has eighteen words written, why did the examiner choose you to be the lifter?

So, I started with the legend of the dragon, how it gave birth to nine sons and was different, what each of those dragons symbolized, and the nine dragon walls symbolized the emperor who was loved by the whole world, and the emperor was wise and great.

The words must be beautifully written, strong and powerful, and the gratitude must be filled between the lines.

This question is too simple to even think about. In less than ten minutes, thousands of words were written.

The second question, "Describe the trajectory of the moon." ”

This question is considered a junior high school question.

There are four billion people in the Ming Empire, and among them, the people who know that we live on a spherical earth are no more than tens of millions, that is, one percent of the level. It's not that they're stupid, but the book that the court asked them to read specifically stated that "God created the world, the sky is round and the place is round" and something like that. The books that point out the eleven planets of the solar system are only for the nobles, not for the common people. Civilians read the books of civilians, and it is a capital offense to read books beyond the ranks.

Suppose I say in the village that the earth is a ball. Everyone would laugh at me and call me a fool. They will say that if the earth is a ball, then the wife pie is still a wife. They will definitely say, you are stupid, you don't want to think about it, then the people down there are not all falling!

The books for the scholars explain it this way: There is a thing in this world called imperial power, which is created by God, it is the will of the gods and the emperor, and this imperial power governs everything. The emperor is the center of everything, it is he who makes everything in this world attract each other. The reason why everything changes state is because the imperial force makes it change, and without the imperial force, everything is always motionless or moving at a uniform speed.

Then add some laws of imperial force, such as the magnitude of the imperial force is proportional to the mass, inversely proportional to the distance, the imperial force is proportional to the momentum, and the imperial force and the anti-imperial force are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude. Through these laws, the trajectory of the moon around the earth can be inferred from far away, or even the trajectory of Neptune around the sun, and the trajectory of a car or cannonball can be inferred from a close.

It seems that Huangli is completely correct, because it is completely provable. The world has countless facts that prove this. You don't even need to know the facts, just a few theories can deduce all the facts in this world that you may never have seen before, and may even go against your intuition. What a great imperial power! What a great theory! Perfect! Impeccable!

However, the problem lies in the "name of the thing"! Who said that the imperial power is called the imperial power? I can also say that the emperor's power is called the dog's power - this shows that the dog is the original of the eternal and unchanging set by God.

Well, I certainly can't write that. I pretend I don't see that messy logic. I started from the Genesis of God, and deduced the trajectory of the moon from the three laws of imperial power one by one. I even went straight to the mass, period, distance, and so on of the moon. In order to distance myself from my competitors, I even calculated the date of the total lunar eclipse in the last 10 years!

Of course, in the end, I devote a lot of space to praising the greatness of the emperor and the emperor, without the emperor and the emperor, there would be no moon, let alone everything on our earth.

I wrote in an orderly manner, pushing one argument out of another, listing them one by one, and the Arabic numerals alone filled half a sheet of paper, and even drew a few diagrams.

This question is so easy that I didn't have to think about it when I didn't go to school. In less than twenty minutes, thousands of words were written.

The third question: "The forbidden army fired artillery from Chang'an to Luoyang, what is the angle of the cannon and what is the most suitable speed?" ”

This question is considered a high school question.

The simplest case is to assume that there is no air resistance, no rotation of the earth, no curvature of the earth, so that the result can be mentally calculated in one second.

If it is more complicated, it is necessary to consider air resistance, surface radian, autobiographical deflection force, gravity deviation, and even calculate the trajectory of the shell, launch elevation angle, flight time, landing angle, landing speed, kinetic momentum...... In that case, the only way to do this is to put pen to paper.

Of course, in the end, I devote a lot of space to praising the emperor and the forbidden army, without a great emperor, there would be no strong forbidden army, and there would be no peace and contentment in the world.

Moreover, I also specially warned those traitors who tried to use the mantis arm as a car: The strength of the Ming Imperial Forbidden Army is beyond your imagination, don't think that you won't listen to Chang'an if you are in Luoyang!

This problem is relatively normal, just math calculus. In less than thirty minutes, thousands of words were written.

The fourth question is more special, there are two sets of tables, the first set of tables is the economic data of the 23 provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the second set of tables is the production order of the Ming Imperial Ministry of Industry, and the question is: "Seek this year's economic growth rate".

The great court is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good, and the loyal people are all-hearted, all-willed, and all-loyal, so the task is always accomplished, and we are always victorious, and one victory leads to another......

There are so many data in the table, I don't bother to refute them one by one...... Because none of them are right......

At the end of the answer, I devote a lot of space to praising the emperor and the court, without a wise emperor, there will be no diligent court, and there will be no happiness and well-being of the people.

This problem is a bit difficult, using various economic concepts as well as mathematical matrix concepts. In less than forty minutes, thousands of words were written.

The fifth question: "On the current situation".

This question belongs to the transition from science to liberal arts, geography, history, and culture...... Comprehensive questions.

I bit my pen and thought about everything. Back then, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, and Zhuge Liang used this question to win the trust of the future emperor. Looks like I'm going to have to learn a good way. Only, I can't tell the truth.

Some of them are false but they shouldn't be fake, so you have to take them as if they were true, such as "King James Twenty-three Provinces", "King James History", "King James Kingdoms", "King James Universe", ......

Some are true but should not be true, then you have to treat them as fake, such as "The Twelve Families of Tianzi", "The Officials Dump", "The Provinces are in turmoil", "The War of the Religions", ......

Some are important but should not be important, then you have to treat them as unimportant, such as the rebellion of various cults (the court called them demon cults......

Some things are unimportant but should not be unimportant, then you have to treat them as important, such as the allegiance of the Four Great Religions......

Some exist but should not exist, so you have to treat them as if they did not exist, such as the laziness and ignorance of the people......

Some do not exist but should not be there, then you must treat them as if they existed, such as the diligence and wisdom of the court......

……

I carefully wrote about the governors and governors of the twenty-three provinces, the scholars and civilians, the customs and people's customs, the general economic situation, the ideological tendencies, and the sects of the rivers and lakes......

At the end of the answer, I devote a lot of space to praising the greatness of the emperor and the empire, without the emperor, there would be no empire, and there would be no eternal existence of the Ming Dynasty.

In less than fifty minutes, thousands of words were written.

After writing the science paper, the following is the liberal arts paper.
