Dongyi State Imperial Examination, the first round of examinations ended.

Candidates who have passed the examination are naturally in a good mood and immediately go to prepare for the next round of exams, which will start soon.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Most of the candidates who did not pass left directly with regret and loss.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who don't want to leave right away, so they stay in Dongyi Country and continue to play, ready to see the final exam results.

A large number of candidates left, and the originally tense and lively rental market suddenly dropped by an order of magnitude.

In Gauss's rented house, the other three companions failed the exam.

When Gauss returned to his quarters, the three of them began to pack their things sullenly.

Gauss thought about it for a moment and began to pack his things as well.

The three companions were stunned.

"Haven't you ever taken the test Gauss?"

"It shouldn't be!"

Gauss doesn't hide it either:

"I've passed the test, but everyone is gone, so I don't need to spend seven silver bills to rent a bed......"

After sending off his three companions, Gauss went to a normal inn on the street and asked.

The price of a fully equipped single room has been reduced to ten dollars a month.

People kept leaving the hotel door with their luggage, apparently a large number of rooms were vacant.

Gauss didn't decide right away, but went back to his lodgings for another day.

In the quadruple room where Gauss lived, after the three roommates left, the boss did not arrange any more people.

Mostly there were no guests, but Gauss still didn't want to stay here.

Gauss is more confident in the exam, and he will live here for a long time in the future, so it is necessary to change houses.

After another day of waiting, Gauss came to the main street in the center of the county and found a mid-to-high-end hotel for the middle class.

After bargaining with the innkeeper, he rented a fully furnished single room for eight dollars a month.

Free hot water, free bathing, maid to do laundry, and free food.

The rent is one dollar higher, but counting the value-added services, it is now less expensive than before.

However, the overall standard of living has directly improved by several grades.

From the working class to the middle class.

After living in the new house for two days and conditioning his strength to the best of his ability, Gauss went to take the second round of exams.

Under normal circumstances, after the Renwu Dynasty, these two levels of exams were indeed only a few days away, but there were two groups of people who took the exams.

Before the Renwu Dynasty, the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, and even the township examination and the general examination could be taken consecutively, but it was impossible to be so close to each other between each two rounds of examinations.

But now the situation in Dongyi is special, so the three rounds of examinations will be held in a row, and the stubble of the imperial examination will be concluded as soon as possible.

The second exam is called the government exam, and the mode and content are copied from the college entrance examination of the Ming Dynasty.

Two Chinese sessions, with a total score of 400 points.

Math one, one hundred and fifty points.

One hundred and fifty points in science, including physics and chemistry.

One naturalist, one hundred and fifty points, including geography and biology.

History, one hundred and fifty points, including history and politics.

In Zhu Jingyuan's view, the weight of the language in this exam is too heavy, accounting for 40% of the total score, and the exam time is a whole day.

The other four exams, in Zhu Jingyuan's opinion, are actually seven, accounting for only 600 points in total, and the time is only one day.

This is equivalent to the score of English in the college entrance examination in the previous life being added to the language, and a third of the score is added.

But in the eyes of scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the score in this language is still a bit low.

The ideal state is the same as the transition from primary school to secondary school, and it is enough to directly account for half of it.

This standard was set by Emperor Shizu and the scholars at that time, and it is still difficult to revise it now.

The difficulty of this second exam has risen sharply compared to the first one, after all, it is equivalent to the college entrance examination.

This time, Gauss finally felt that he would probably not get a perfect score except for mathematics.

The scope of the examination is too wide, I have not participated in similar exams before, and many of the contents are unheard of.

When the final list was released, there was not a single candidate with a perfect score.

In the end, 1,000 people were admitted to the Linxian examination room, and the pass rate was almost one-third, which was three times higher than the first one.

In the entire Dongyi Kingdom, two Changshi Mansions, and more than a dozen counties, the total number of people who finally passed was almost 1,500.

Linn County accounted for two-thirds of them.

Linn County is the most populous county, with more people than all other regions combined.

Outside of Dongyi Country, most of the candidates from the United States, Canada, and even the Taixi continent took the exam in Lin County.

There aren't that many candidates elsewhere at all.

The third and final round of exams was scheduled a month later.

There are only two test locations left, Lin County and Wei County, and candidates from Long Island and Dongyi Peninsula, each going to two locations to take the test.

The longer time is reserved for candidates to rush and prepare.

The nature of the third round of exams is very different from the first two rounds.

It is no longer about knowledge, but about thinking, analyzing, and political work.

In fact, candidates who have passed two rounds of exams are also in the upper middle class among modern high school graduates.

Their level of knowledge is enough in this era to serve as grassroots officials.

The last examination is to screen out those who are suitable to be civil servants.

And the inspection requirements put forward by Zhu Jingyuan will also be reflected in the last exam.

The location of the last exam was finally arranged indoors.

The Changshi Mansion requisitioned classrooms for a middle school in Linn County.

More than 1,000 candidates were scattered in more than 30 classrooms for the exam.

Gauss took the admission ticket, found his place to sit down, and when he looked around, he found a familiar face.

An Englishman I met on the boat from Tessie to Long Island, a young man who seemed to be named Byron.

However, Gauss did not intend to deal with others, and sat in his place and honestly waited for the exam to begin.

There are two exams in the third round, which test the basic administrative ability in the morning and political analysis and writing in the afternoon.

The people who can come here are also elites in the world of Tessie.

But when the test papers came down this time, there were still many people scratching their ears and cheeks.

A smart person may not be suitable for politics, and a person who can write may not be able to write an argument.

The internal logic of this kind of administrative-related test questions is still Ming-style, which is different from the way of thinking of many Taixi people.

Gauss, who didn't encounter any difficulty in the last exam, was a little confused this time.

In the afternoon, the comprehensive writing ability test made many people even more entangled.

In particular, the final material and topic require them to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the cultures and systems of the Ming and Taixi countries.

Gauss frowned after reading the material.

How should I write this topic?

Gauss has an overall understanding of the culture and system of the Ming Dynasty, and the key is how to write it.

This kind of topic is too subjective.

If you write exactly according to your own understanding and judgment in your heart, can you get a score?

If you write Daming as good as possible and Taixi as bad, will you definitely get a high score?

Gauss hesitates here, but many people have already begun to write.

I don't know what others think, Gauss thought about it for more than half an hour before deciding to write according to his true thoughts.

The advantages of the culture and system of the Ming Dynasty are great, but they are not without flaws.

As early as 2,000 years ago, the Qin Dynasty was unified and the Han Dynasty was reunified, and the Shenzhou civilization had begun to enter the era of central monarchy.

The power of the entire Shenzhou was condensed by the emperor, and he could quickly complete a huge project unimaginable to the Taixi people.

Once Shenzhou is on the right track, the whole world will be unstoppable, just like the Ming Dynasty after Emperor Shizu.

However, the more than 1,000-year-long central imperial system, the continuous strengthening of the concept of unity, and the authority of the imperial court also limited the diversified development of ideas and technology.

If a powerful imperial court does not find the right direction, or may even choose the wrong direction, it risks becoming a shackle that restricts the development of civilization.

Because there is only one direction in the Central Empire, once this direction is wrong, it is difficult to correct it again.

The Taixi countries continued to be divided for more than a thousand years, and the feudal system also continued to exist for thousands of years.

The scattered states of Taixi, or the feudal lords, could not concentrate their huge forces on the construction of large-scale projects.

Any reform measure is likely to be hampered by many parties, and the implementation of any decision can turn into a protracted quarrel.

However, it is precisely this kind of Tessy continent that can have countless possibilities.

A feudal lord who made the right choice made his fiefdom stronger, and other lords might follow suit.

Venice, Spain, England, France, Germany......

None of them were great, and none of them made the right choice in all their choices.

But each of them got at least one of their choices right.

So put them all together, and the whole of Tessie, out of all the choices, has someone who got it right.

…………

Gauss wrote all his thoughts.

After writing it, I looked at the article in front of me, but I had no bottom in my heart.

This kind of topic is too subjective.

And there is no standard answer, you can completely see what the person thinking the question is thinking, and what result the person who can see the question wants to see.

Gauss disliked this kind of exam very much, and he didn't like this kind of uncontrollable questions.

It's better to do math.

Finally, the exams left the exam room in turn.

Under the supervision of the guards on the invigilator patrol, everyone walked honestly and quietly.

But when I got to the campus, no one was watching, and I immediately started talking.

"The final article material and title are too pitiful!"

"What's wrong? Is this kind of topic still pitted? This is simply a question of sending points, okay! ”

"Why do you send points? This comparison of advantages and disadvantages is not right to write! ”

"What is the wrong way to write? Isn't the answer to this question obvious? That's not asking us to compare the advantages and disadvantages of Da Ming and Tai Xi at all, we are simply asking about the advantages of Da Ming. ”

"This article examines our understanding of Ming culture and traditions, and it has nothing to do with Tessie."

"Daming's culture and system have no shortcomings, and Taixi's side has no advantages!"

"Well, there's still a little bit of this, right?"

There was a lot of noise everywhere, and the candidates were arguing with each other.

Gauss made a little observation and found that some people really think that Daming has no shortcomings, but some people obviously just use this view as a strategy to cope with the exam.

Gauss vaguely felt in his heart that most of them were right, and he was probably about to fall off the list.
