Zhu Shuren's division and disintegration of the world's old-fashioned scholars was carried out very smoothly.

Since some of them have seen the new ascending channel, and this ascending channel is only open to the old scholars with meritorious names for the time being, why not seize the opportunity to reap some benefits for themselves as soon as possible?

Even if this upward channel will slowly open to others in the future, it will be a matter of the future. Maybe in the past few years, I have relied on this new opportunity to climb up, so why worry about the waste that can't climb?

Dead friends don't die poor, people who can catch the window period, they don't care about the life or death of those who can't be caught, those people are the objects of their roll, and they want to go up to the house and kick them in the face.

I wish I could squeeze into the bus, and the driver would close the door immediately, so that I could ride comfortably along the way, spacious and breathable, and human nature has been like this since ancient times.

The time soon came to October 15, which is the scheduled exam day.

The registration work has been closed five days in advance, because the time is in a hurry, so there are not many people who come this year, mainly because the candidates from Nanzhili and Jiangxi and Zhejiang rushed to come, and there are some people from Huguang, Henan, Shandong, and few of them who are farther away to register.

However, there is nothing fair or unfair about this kind of thing, it is originally the nature of Enke, and when Zhu Shuren thundered before, he dethroned the fame of three or four hundred scholars in Nanzhili and Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and the resistance in these places is also the most serious. Now it's a stuffy stick and then a sweet date, both grace and power.

This situation will only occur in the first year, after which there will be no problem of information asymmetry, and the provinces will be fair.

……

Early in the morning of the exam, as soon as the sky was bright, there was a long queue at the gate of the Jiangnan Gongyuan Temple of Confucius Temple by the Qinhuai River.

The location of the examination room, the imperial court did not toss, and it was still the same as the old-style imperial examination. Many of those candidates had originally participated in the old-style imperial examinations, and they were quite familiar with the routines, and they did not feel uncomfortable.

It's just that the team at the gate of Confucius Temple is divided into several areas, classified and arranged to check the identity of candidates. There is also a sign in front of each team, which reads "Lifting Area", "Supervision Area" and "Xiucai Area", so that candidates with different reference identities can enjoy different treatment.

It feels like the check-in channel of the airport in the future, there is a fast track for business seats, there are also ordinary channels, and there are also group tours. There are very few queues in the "lifting area", the "prison area" is slightly more than several times, and the "talent area" is crowded.

A candidate in his twenties, lined up in the lifting area, glanced back and forth, saw that there were not many people, and couldn't help but feel a little happy, feeling that he had come to the right place.

In front of him there was a person in front of him who looked older, and when he looked like he was thirty or forty years old, he curiously approached the other party:

"I don't know where Brother Tai is? Contemptible Quanzhou Li Guangdi, looking at the Spring and Autumn Brothers, should have been in the middle of the year, why not wait for the vacancy, and come here to take a few exams. ”

The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at him, and said with no expression: "In Xiajiangling Zhou Peigong, why does this Li Xian brother ask knowingly, those who can be ranked in this waiting area for the examination are naturally already famous." I'm here for the same reason you do. ”

When Li Guangdi heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly embarrassed and self-deprecating: "Isn't that after the lift, I will try it late, come here to try my luck more."

Although after graduating from this 'Nanjing University', it is still at the level of lifting, but after all, the candidates for Wenju have already carried a lot of weight, and there are no ancients before the candidates for several lifts, who doesn't want to try. ”

After speaking, Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong looked at each other and smiled treacherously, all of them were proud of changing lanes and overtaking.

It turned out that these two people were Zhenming doglegs of the Kangxi Dynasty in parallel time and space, but now they also came to the Ming Dynasty to seek fame.

But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, history has been changed for decades, and Zhu Shuren will definitely use more and more Shiqing people in the future. Especially those who have never been an official in the Ming Dynasty in history, as long as they have a little ability, going to Shiqing will only become more and more common. In the future, those who have not been cleared may be unknown mediocre people.

At this moment, all these people think is "even if there are already Wenju people, and there are more people, maybe the shortage can be faster, it is more convenient than continuing to take the liberal arts examination, at least try to see how many ways can be taken."

After Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong greeted each other, they both inquired about each other's mathematical skills, and Zhou Peigong asked about the other party's arithmetic level, and Li Guangdi was not modest:

"The younger brother is good at easy counting, and he also has a lot of knowledge in traditional simple arithmetic, but I really don't understand the geometric and mechanical calculations listed in the investigation outline I saw last month, so I bought a copy of Mr. Fang's "Physics" temporarily."

When Zhou Peigong heard this, his expression darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "Then you are better than me, I am the cantilever cone stabbing stock in the past two months, and I have all relied on the battle to sharpen the gun." It's just that everyone is not prepared for this first subject, and the tallest one among the short ones. Brother Li Xian, you have a foundation in easy numbers, and you will definitely be in high school this time. ”

Li Guangdi was a little proud in his heart, but he didn't show it well, so he just comforted him with the words: "Eh, it's a momentary gain, what a good way." There is no before and after learning, and the achiever is the first.

The recruitment examination of Nanjing University is not as good as the examination, and if you have tried, you will no longer learn in this life, and if you are a degenerate, you will also have to be awarded an official. If you pass the exam, you have to enter the school and study hard for three or five years, if you don't study in this way, you will fail the exam in the future, isn't it still useless?

The younger brother has already heard that the entrance test for this mathematics subject still depends on the ranking, no matter how low the score is, as long as it is in the top 300, you can be enrolled. However, the final exam after years of hard study in the next few years will depend on the score.

If you can't reach 60% of the score, you will have completed the course for many years, and you will not be able to complete the course. If you can't achieve a score of 70%, even if you barely complete the course, the actual position is far away, and you may have to go to the Academy of Sciences for an internship. ”

When Zhou Peigong heard this, he nodded subconsciously: "I have also heard, it's not that you can pass the test in front of you, and you will have to see how well you do in mathematics and physics after a few years." However, since the graduation does not stipulate how many people will be dismissed, just looking at the score, maybe it is just a trick of grace from the top.

It's like after the test, it's not the final word of the test, and there is also the palace test, but who will depose people in the palace test? It's nothing more than for the protégé of the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhou Peigong speculated with the old routine, and felt that the relationship between the graduation examination of NTU and the current entrance examination in the future is nothing more than the relationship between the imperial palace examination and the Ministry of Rites examination, which must be "strict in and wide out", and the subsequent graduation is just a trick by the emperor to show grace!

……

A large group of people bustled to complete the examination, and finally entered the Tribute Academy to take the exam.

During the whole process, Li Guangdi still felt some extra respect and convenience, which surprised him.

For example, when the candidates entered the venue, they only verified their identities, but they did not strictly search their bodies and did not insult Sven.

Just now, he also saw that some candidates were not sure, so he questioned the searchers.

Apparently because the questioner is timid, there is absolutely no entrainment. And the inspector didn't even search his body carefully, in case other colleagues brought cheat sheets, wouldn't they be honest people at a loss?

If you can squeeze out the inspector, even if you just search for a few entrainment cheat sheets, remove their fame, and depose their examination qualifications, then can't you get rid of two more competitors, and you won't be so involved?

The zero-sum game of career competition has always been like this.

However, the inspector responded positively to the questioning candidates with great disdain: "The imperial court is sympathetic to the scholars and does not strip and search, what are you waiting for?" This is the imperial court's moral politics! You should take the test of eight shares! What if you are asked to copy a few formulas in arithmetic and physics? If you don't count, you won't count! ”

This matter will soon be over, everyone will enter the venue, and after a little preparation, they will start to hand out papers and answer questions.

The content of the exam is also relatively fast, the science part is all done on the first day, mathematics is tested in the morning, and the most basic physical calculations and some naturalist knowledge and chemistry are tested in the afternoon.

Li Guangdi carefully looked at the scope of the volume, and it was also the content involved in the popular science books published by the imperial court through the Daming Academy of Sciences a few years ago, and there was no sneak attack on cold knowledge, so for candidates who usually have the intention to read some miscellaneous books of the Academy of Sciences, it is equivalent to picking up a bargain out of thin air, and their interests and hobbies just collided with the assessment content.

Everyone does their best, they can do as much as they can, and they don't think much about it if they can't do it, and they feel that most of the other candidates can't do it.

Overall, the volume this time is still very simple. As for the latest mathematical achievements such as calculus, of course, they will not be used to test candidates, it is too difficult, and few people in the Ming Dynasty can do it.

The content of calculus is what candidates need to learn in the next few years after being admitted to NTU, and even includes "derivatives" and many algebra and geometry learned by later high school students, which are now only learned in college.

In other words, if a later generation of time-travelers came to take these two papers, they would find that the mathematical knowledge in them, at most, was at the level of the first to the second year of junior high school, and it was nothing more than replacing the X/Y of the multivariate equations in them with A, B, C, D, reducing the amount of Western characters.

As for the physics exam, it is basically the calculation of the uniform velocity of Newton's three laws, as well as the calculation of various basic geometric applications of the mass and volume density of objects, as well as the geometric calculation of optics.

The thermal and electrical parts of other later junior high school physics are now completely unexamined. Instead, there are some bionaturalist reading questions and common knowledge of chemical phenomena.

The last part of the physics paper or the science paper is used to open the final question of the score of the top student and the scumbag. It is just to tell you the gravitational force and orbital distance between certain planets, let you calculate the centrifugal force/centripetal force required to maintain the orbit, and then calculate the linear velocity and revolution period of the orbital motion.

In later generations, anyone who has the ability to answer physics questions at the level of the high school entrance examination can be lifted if he gets the Ming Dynasty.

……

The day of the exam ended quickly, and Li Guangdi, Zhou Peigong and others had mixed feelings.

Li Guangdi felt that he had done well in the exam, while Zhou Peigong obviously did not sharpen his gun well, and there were big problems in mathematics and physics in the end, and he couldn't hold back a formula at all, so he could only write a solution.

A large group of candidates were fighting for the answers in Nanjing, and there were also ostriches who just wanted to wait for the results after the exam, and they didn't dare to answer the answers at all, so they just paralyzed themselves by getting drunk and dreaming on the Qinhuai River.

It is said that in those days, the best way to stimulate and offend a scholar was to see a scholar on the Qinhuai River who was hugging left and right but still looking worried, and then went up to give him the standard answer to this year's exam papers.

Then the other party will generally be annoyed, pick up the inkstone or wine jug and smash people, and then frantically cover their ears with their sleeves and not listen.

After being tortured for half a month, on October 30, the imperial court finally released the list. The list of all the first 300 candidates who were admitted was posted at the entrance of the Gongyuan.

Some candidates who are confident in their results will naturally come to watch the release in person, but those who are self-aware will not be humiliated by themselves, and continue to buy drunk on the Qinhuai River, expecting a miracle and someone will come to the door to report the good news.

After reading the posted list, the candidates still felt a trace of surprise and difference: in the mathematics exam, not only did they have to post the rankings, but also wrote in detail the scores of the candidates in arithmetic and physics after each person's name, as well as the total score of the added one.

You must know that in the traditional liberal arts examination, if there is a score, it will be directly ranked, but no one knows the reason why is in the front and who is in the back.

There is no first article, there is no second martial arts, and there is no clear standard for evaluating the quality of an article.

But science and engineering exams are completely different, they are all objective questions, there is no suspense in answering correctly and wrongly, and it is not easy to be ambiguous when scoring according to the process steps.

So from the first place to the third hundredth place on the list, it is clear how many points each person has. Because there will definitely be people with the same score, so when you encounter someone with the same score, you can even write it directly according to "how many names are tied", which is clear.

Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong also made an appointment to go to see the list that day, Li Guangdi was lucky to find that he had a total score of 148, taking the fifty-third place. Looking at his mathematics, he can get into thirty or forty, but in physics he is only outside eighty, and he averages more than fifty.

And Zhou Peigong was very miserable, he was actually in the 264th place, and he took a closer look and found that there were more than 20 people tied for the 264th place, because these 20 people were just 200 points The total score of the paper was only 116. If one point less falls to 115, it can only tie for more than 280 places.

At the end of the list, the actual number of admissions exceeded 300, reaching 309. Just because from the 297th place, there were thirteen people with the same score of 112 points, all tied, and finally had to admit all thirteen people, and nine were overrecorded.

Many candidates couldn't help but gasp when they saw this list.

This exam is too rigorous, and the score line and the scores of each of the admitted candidates are all announced, which is not known how many times more accurate than the old eight-share imperial examination, and those who lose can only be convinced.

In the normal imperial examination in previous years, it was said that if it was good to take 300 people, it would be good to take 300 people, and the article would definitely be able to distinguish a superior, and when it came to the 301st year, it would be Sun Shan, how could there be a situation where you had to take all of them with the same score.

And soon, as the news of admission based on precise scores spread, many people secretly complained. Some people try to check the process of producing the scores, want to see the grading of the papers, and are not satisfied with the scores.

Some people also found that since the use of objective numbers to determine the score, it seems that there is no such thing as a north-south division or a special regional care. The geographical structure of the imperial court's examination seems to be very unreasonable.

Some people think of Zhu Yuanzhang's north-south sub-list in the early years, as well as the later east-west sub-list, fantasizing about making trouble and fighting for the rights of their hometown.

More than a hundred people of all kinds, with all kinds of interests in mind, began to move.
