Chapter 200: Lonely Exam Questions

Before dawn the next day, the three of Fanning set off for the examination room again, and with yesterday's experience, they arranged much more calmly, and set off after eating and drinking.

Although you are not allowed to eat or drink in the examination room, it is very convenient to go to the latrine, as long as you raise your hand to apply, there will be a special soldier to lead you to the latrine.

The car is still going to the old Caomen Inn, there is no hitchhike today, and everyone waited for almost a quarter of an hour before getting on the bus.

The coachman waved his long whip, and the ox cart turned around and drove in the direction of the examination room.

The eight scholars in the carriage were no longer as nervous as they were yesterday, and everyone whispered and discussed today's exam.

Today is the examination of the essay and the focus of the entire imperial examination, the score of the essay in the provincial examination is as much as sixty percent, and the same as the solution test, the essay is the top priority in the examination.

Even in the palace examination, only one subject of the imperial examination was examined, so the imperial examination had the joke that the countermeasure was the world's best.

However, whether it is a provincial test or a solution to the test, the countermeasures are more pragmatic and not too remote, which is something that candidates will encounter in their daily life.

But simplicity is not necessarily a good thing, of course the tide will rise, anyway, only 500 people are admitted, and everyone's countermeasures are well written, which means that it is extremely difficult to think of high scores, especially the pressure on the other three subjects will increase, and even a little revision of the volume will be brushed off.

Fan Ning glanced at Li Dashou and saw that he was sitting motionless on the stool with his waist straight, like a sculpture, and his state today was much better than yesterday.

If you want to open it, you won't be nervous anymore, but it seems to be in good spirits, and yesterday he was mainly too nervous, and his mind was a little calmer, so he didn't faint.

Su Liang whispered to Fan Ning: "I heard them talking about the defense of Western Xia today, we are not prepared at all, if we really take the test, won't it be miserable?" ”

Su Liang's worries are not new now, after the first exam yesterday, everyone was talking about the second exam questions, and I don't know where the news came from, saying that the second session would involve Western Xia, and it was said in a rhetorical way, just like the real thing.

The news spread quickly, causing the bookstores to sell out of books about Xixia in an instant, and Su Liang also ran to buy books yesterday afternoon, but he didn't buy them, which made him worry all night.

Fan Ning smiled indifferently and said to Su Liang: "The provincial test questions are personally written by the Son of Heaven, and they are sealed in an iron box after the questions are finished, and the sealed box is only allowed to be opened after the examination room is closed, how do you say the questions are leaked?" ”

"That's too!" Su Liang scratched his head embarrassedly, I didn't think about it that much.

"It's you who are too nervous!"

Seeing that the ox cart was about to go to the children's examination room, Fan Ning smiled at Li Dashou and said: "Calm down, not only do the questions, but also understand how to do the questions, I think this is the focus of your imperial examination, can you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Dashou nodded, "Senior brother, I understand!" ”

At this time, the ox cart slowly stopped, and the coachman shouted, "The boy's examination room has arrived!" ”

Fanning patted Li Dashou on the shoulder, jumped out of the car and left.

As yesterday, today's entry checks were still very strict, and the soldiers in particular intensified the search of the soles of their shoes, and Fanning was the first to pass as usual.

When Su Liang came in, he asked jokingly, "Have you been molested today?" ”

"Get out of the way, you think I'm going to go with it?"

Fanning's eyes widened with a look of fear, "Could it be ..... you were forced today." ”

Su Liang was so angry that he flew up and kicked it, and an examiner immediately yelled behind him, "No trouble is allowed in the waiting area!" ”

Su Liang had no choice but to put away his legs and glared at Fan Ning fiercely, who winked at him with a wicked smile.

At this moment, the bell rang and people began to be released into the examination room, and the scholars began to walk towards their own examination tents.

Fan Ning hugged Su Liang's shoulders and smiled: "Yesterday you were a little slow to hand in the papers, so you have to control the speed today." ”

"I know, you have to hold it steady too!"

The two broke up and went to their own exams.

……….

In the middle of the examination room, there is a small military barracks, surrounded by a fence and very heavily guarded, which is a temporary examination center.

There is also a tall wooden platform on the north side, on which a large bell is placed, where all the bells needed for the exam are runged.

In a large tent in the middle, an official placed a sealed sandalwood box on the table, in front of which stood the chief examiner Ouyang Xiu, and on either side stood a dozen invigilators.

Ouyang Xiu is actually only responsible for reviewing the papers, the invigilator belongs to the examination affairs, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the organization and planning of the imperial examination, and Zhang Qinian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is fully responsible for the preparation of the examination, from the examination to the provincial examination registration, and then to the specific examination arrangements, Zhang Qinian is in charge.

However, the examiner Ouyang Xiu is in charge of the review paper, which involves three transfers.

The first is the handover of examination questions, which are sent by the chamberlain from the palace three days before the imperial examination and handed over to the chief examiner, and then after each examination closes the door of the examination room, the chief examiner opens the secret box and hands over the examination questions to the invigilator.

The second is the handover of examination papers, after each examination, the invigilator will hand over more than a dozen large boxes full of examination papers to the examination institute and submit the invigilation record.

The third is the transfer of the list, after the examination is over, the examiner will hand over the admission list to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will conduct a preliminary qualification review, mainly because some candidates are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, such as the children of Lehu, artisan households, criminals, and candidates whose parents have died and are in the period of Ding worry, etc.

After the review is correct, it will be handed over to the Son of Heaven for final review, and the list can be released after the approval of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, it is only the provincial examination admission list, and it will wait for the end of the palace examination a month later, and there will be champions, lists, tanhuas, and so on.

Now it's the first handover, where the examiner hands over the questions to the invigilator.

Ouyang Xiu pointed to the sealed box and smiled at everyone: "Everyone take a look, the seal and the box are intact, check it!" ”

Ouyang Xiu said easily, but the procedure was very strict, and the two invigilators stepped forward and carefully inspected the sealed box before nodding to the invigilator.

There were two locks on the box, the chief examiner Ouyang Xiu and the invigilator Guan Yun each took a key, and the two took out the key and opened the lock on the box at the same time.

I tore open the seal and opened the box, and inside was a roll of white silk, and today's countermeasure question was on the white silk.

Ouyang Xiu and Fang Yun signed the handover document, and Ouyang Xiu hurriedly returned to the examination court.

.......

The second preparation bell has been ringing, the door of the examination room has long been closed, and the blank test papers and straw paper have been handed out to each candidate, who are writing their names, places of origin, test numbers, and the paper number in the upper left corner.

Fanning took the note from the basket again, carefully brushed it with a layer of paste, and carefully pasted the note on the column of his name.

At this moment, a low bell sounded in the distance, 'Knock-knock-'

The examination began, and after a short time, the soldiers at the door of each examination tent got the question wooden card and walked into the big tent with the wooden card.

Today's exam questions made the candidates exclaim, today's exam questions turned out to be a case.

Wang Sheng, a villager of Kaifeng Prefecture, reclaimed the ownerless wasteland 12 years ago and obtained 10 acres of forest land, Wang Sheng and his neighbor Li Sheng privately signed a transfer contract for the forest land, and sold it for 20 yuan, and the two sides agreed to pay off the purchase price in three years.

After signing the contract, Li Sheng immediately paid Wang Sheng the first installment of land money.

Due to the government's canal construction and irrigation, the forest land became Shangtian, and Wang Sheng asked Li Sheng to make up the difference of ten yuan on the grounds that the purchase of land did not match the actual situation.

Li Sheng ignored it, and Wang Sheng did not initiate mediation, but directly sued Li Sheng to the county government, believing that Li Sheng had breached the contract first.

The county decree finally ruled that the contract signed by the two families was invalid, and Wang Sheng was fined two yuan.

Li Sheng accepted the sentence.

Q: Is the verdict in this case reasonable and legal? If the candidate is a county magistrate, how should the case be heard.

The specific content of this question is slightly different from Fan Ning's memory, Fan Ning remembers that Li Sheng privately made wine for a neighbor, and the neighbor died of excessive drinking, and told the county government.

I don't know which link went wrong, and the actual exam questions do not match the historical record.

But this question is also a test of the "Song Criminal Union", which involves many clauses, such as the signing of contracts, the conversion of forest land into farmland, and the benefit of the government's construction of irrigation canals.

There is even an appeal process, whether there is a squire mediation or not, and so on.

Since the questions are vague, candidates need to expand their imagination and make logical reasoning about various possibilities.

This question seems simple, but it is actually difficult, especially the first question, is the judgment of this case reasonable and legal?

This involves at least seven or eight provisions of the "Song Criminal Code".

There are even landmines, for example, the title says that the two families privately signed a forest land transfer contract, and the word 'private' gives people a sense of illegality.

In fact, the way in which villagers sign a contract is not clearly stipulated in the Song Criminal Rule, as long as it is an expression of the true will of both parties, the government should determine that the contract is legal.

Then there is the neighbor who thinks that Li Sheng has breached the contract first, and it is clear that the transfer is forest land, but Li Sheng has turned it into a field, violating the contract.

However, the "Song Criminal Code" only clearly stipulates that the use of official land must be changed in advance, and it needs to be reported to the government for approval in advance.

As for private land, there is no provision in this regard, and since there is no provision, whoever owns the property has the right to change the use of the land.

Fan Ning believes that Wang Sheng is because the land payment has not been paid off, the land ownership is his own, and Li Sheng is in breach of contract.

However, the "Song Criminal Union" clearly stipulates that the change of land ownership has nothing to do with the payment, as long as the government changes the land record, the special circumstances shall be subject to the date of signing the contract.

And this question should be very clear, because it is ownerless wasteland, then the government should not have the corresponding title deed, which is a special situation, and the contract signed by both parties should be the basis for the change of land ownership.

However, the judgment of the prefectural ordinance was that the contract itself was invalid.

This should have nothing to do with the change of the government's land record, but the county order believes that Wang Sheng's reclamation of ten acres of ownerless wasteland cannot become his own land, so it cannot be transferred.

However, there is a clear provision in the "Song Criminal Rule" that if you reclaim wasteland for ten years, you can consider it your own.

It shows that the county order still has not fully understood the "Song Criminal Union".

The first question can be answered, and the judgment of the prefectural order is unreasonable and unlawful.

If he Fanning is a county magistrate, how should he be judged?

Fanning pondered for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote them out one by one on the scratch paper.
