Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 305

"Mr. Zhang?"

Qin Shao saw Zhang Cong walking over with a rice basket on his shoulders.

"Shi... Eldest son, you can just ask me to use it later. The exam is going to be tomorrow. I don't think you have a fire to eat, and neither do I. Let's eat together."

Zhang Cong said with a smile.

"I ate some pancakes at noon. I'm not hungry right now. If you want to eat, I still have pancakes here. You can go and eat some pancakes. I have a special status, so we should try to meet as few people as possible in the future."

Qin Shao looked around and said.

"Eldest son, don't worry, we are in this examination room. No one will care about us except for tomorrow's exam. I will pay more attention after I go out. It's just that if the person above is really the kind of narrow-minded person, this person's It doesn't matter if people don't help! I've thought about it, if I can pass the exam this time, if that person doesn't need me, at worst, he will be sent to a remote place, and he can live comfortably as a magistrate of Xiaoyao County!"

Zhang Cong laughed.

He knew that Qin Shao and Zhu Houzhao had recommended him.

But the man didn't summon him.

It's normal to think about it, he's just an example, he will try to land many times, it's no wonder he will be taken seriously!

I'm afraid only the eldest son will take a fancy to him.

"If you haven't eaten, then make some. It's dry and cold. Make some porridge. I have pancakes here. Let's all eat some more."

Qin Shao thinks about it too, they all come in for the exam, who is in the mood to pay attention to them.

Immediately Zhang Cong lit the fire, Qin Shao assisted, the two cooked porridge, and the pancakes were roasted on the charcoal fire until fragrant.

Qin Shao ate half of a pancake and drank a bowl of porridge, and his body instantly became much warmer.

After eating and washing up, both of them went back to their dorms to rest.

A night without dreams.

The morning of the third day of April.

When Qin Shao woke up, Zhang Cong had already cooked porridge and brought it over.

Qin Shao made a charcoal fire and baked pancakes. After eating and drinking, the two returned to their room again.

Soon, the soldiers yelled to hand out the examination papers, and asked the candidates to go to the dormitory to prepare for the examination.

Immediately, the examination papers began to be distributed uniformly, and the first examination officially began.

The content of the examination is indeed large and complex.

In this first session, three four-book essays and four five-script essays will be written in three days.

The writing ability of candidates is very high.

In terms of time, there is no specific time for handing in the papers, as long as they are handed in before the second session.

When Qin Shao handed out the roll paper, he checked the test paper for damage or unclear printing as before.

There is no problem in reading the roll paper, but roughly reading the title of the article.

Fortunately, he has seen most of those topics.

This scene belongs to the stereotyped essay, the most important one.

When the papers were handed out, many people began to read the papers calmly, and there was no sound in the examination room.

Even at lunch time, Qin Shao didn't see anyone lighting a fire to cook.

This exam is very important. Many people, including Qin Shao, are ready to eat dry food, drink some hot water occasionally, in order to save time and answer the questions seriously.

Qin Shao also discussed it with Zhang Cong. During the exam, the two of them will eat their own food, so they don't have to worry about living and cooking, and they will have a good meal together after the game is over.

Make a draft first, and then copy it to the roll paper after confirming it.

The draft also needs to be handed in. If there are changes on the main paper, the draft should also be marked on the draft, in order to prevent someone from cheating, and also to facilitate the examination when there are objections to the paper test scores, which can be used as evidence.

In terms of fairness, this ancient examination paper is actually quite fair, not much worse than Qin Shao's previous life, or even more...

Even though Qin Shao has been busy with a lot of things in the past six months, in his spare time he did not write less essays.

Because he spends a lot of time in Beijing and has the advantage of his own resources, he has written the exam questions many times in the past ten years, and he has also read the exam papers of the students over the years.

He has a very good memory, and even has a photographic memory. Seeing those topics, many powerful opinions came to his mind. As for citing evidence, he has already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart.

As for the examiners this time, he already knows everyone's preferences quite well. Qin Shao is also familiar with the examination papers and articles they wrote in the scientific examination back then.

Swish!
Forgetting sleep and food is often a kind of self-forgetfulness. By the time Qin Shao finished four articles, it was already evening.

He stood up and moved around, boiled some hot water, drank and ate some pancakes.

Start thinking about the next topic.

It wasn't until it got dark that he started to put down his pen, sorted out the test papers, ate some food, drank some hot water and went to bed.

It's the second day after one sleep.

Because of the previous idea, writing the essay on the second day was even smoother.

On the morning of the second day, he had finished writing seven articles and transcribed two.

A little hungry, he started to cook by himself, made some rice with bacon and pickles, and boiled some hot water, and had a full meal.

I took a lunch break at noon.

Woke up again, took away the test paper, and finished transcribing the five articles in one go.

Looking at the five clean articles, Qin Shao let out a long sigh of relief.

Had a good night's sleep.

On the third day, he checked the test papers and trimmed them, and then took a good rest and had a meal.

When the sun was sinking in the afternoon, people handed in the papers one after another, and Qin Shao also handed in the papers.

The first test is over.

When Qin Shao was packing up, Zhang Cong also came over.

The two cooked and ate together, and briefly chatted about the writing situation.

Zhang Cong said that he also brushed up some of the topics this time. Although there are some changes from before, they remain the same. He feels that he has done a good job.

On the sixth day of April, the papers for the second exam were handed out.

This test is about "theory", "imperial edict" and "judgment".

"On" is actually a sentence of some viewpoints extracted from the Four Books and Five Classics as the topic for composition.

But this time I don't need stereotyped essays to answer, and the examples can be freely used.

This article is also very important. The examiner will use this to see how the candidate behaves in the world and how to deal with the imperial court's national policy.

Because after passing the Jinshi examination, you will be an official and have to deal with many things. From this, you can see Juzi's ability to deal with problems.

Zhang Cong used to have no problems with stereotyped essays, but he often made mistakes in this essay.

In the final analysis, his views were too radical and arbitrary, which disliked many examiners, so the article was not liked and fell out of the ranking.

Before this exam, Qin Shao once again told Zhang Cong to write this article carefully, and try to write in the way that the civil official group likes to accept.

If you want to do things, you must first abide by the rules, and only after you enter will you have the opportunity to break the rules, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"Edicts and edicts" are actually three kinds of official documents, and the candidates are required to use the words and deeds of the superiors to write the corresponding edicts, edicts, and forms.

The content of the test is generally from the Han, Tang and Song dynasties. Qin Shao opened the Chapter 1 test paper and saw the test questions:
In imitation of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling was used as the imperial edict of Zhongshu

This is actually the practice of civil servants, and Qin Shao thinks this is really useful.

After all, after passing these exams, many of them have to help with things, usually practice, and take the exam.

Being able to control those jobs directly after taking up the post is much better than learning some miscellaneous things in society.

Qin Shao practiced this kind of imperial edict a lot, and also saw many imperial edicts in the current dynasty, so it was no problem for him.

There are still many official documents left, several sheets.

Qin Shao answered the questions one by one according to the questions, and it went smoothly.

As for the "judgment", it is the comment made by the superior on the documents submitted by the subordinate. Basically, all the articles of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" are tested.

As long as you are familiar with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", these are not a problem at all.

After Qin Shao came here, in order to familiarize himself with the environment of Daming, he had already searched for various researches on "Law of the Ming Dynasty" before confirming the scientific examination.

Which one of the current "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" can be said to be at his fingertips.

He is also familiar with which part has been revised.

All in all, the second exam was successfully completed.

"Eldest son!"

As soon as the papers were handed in at the end of the second round, Zhang Cong ran over excitedly.
