Chapter 364 The Next Two Questions
In the examination room, Sun Dan had already finished the first three questions of the second round.

Because these three questions are quite different from the historical records, there is no standard answer that can be plagiarized in the database.Therefore, this match is a real test for Sun Dan.

Fortunately, relying on modern people's familiarity with history, and his political sense and broad vision beyond his contemporaries, he finally successfully completed the first three questions.He thinks that the answers to these three questions are quite satisfactory, at least he will not make any mistakes in politics, as long as he passes the political test and the writing is satisfactory, he should be able to pass the test.

He did these three questions very slowly, and he thought twice about writing, not as cautious as his Sun.

Also like this, two days passed quickly.

On the second night of the second round, Sun Dan was not in a hurry to read the remaining two questions. Instead, he fell asleep and prepared to recover his energy for tomorrow's challenge.

Because I spent a lot of energy in the past two days, I slept much sweeter than before.

On the last day of the second game, I got up very late as usual.By the way, Sun Dan did a hundred push-ups in the test house, only to feel that he was so full of energy that he had nowhere to vent.

Zhang Cong, who was on the opposite side, got up early. He was already sitting in front of the desk, writing like flying, with a satisfied expression on his face.

In the past three days, Sun Dan was busy with the questions and had no time to copy poems and lyrics, so the examiners naturally did not come to watch.Except for the unwilling main examiners and fellow examiners who came to hang around from time to time, generally speaking, the examination area where Sun Dan was located was fairly peaceful.

Without these examiners coming to harass, Zhang Cong's messy heart finally calmed down.The five questions in the first game were misled by Sun Dan, Zhang Cong did not show his true level.Now, the world is finally clean.Now is the time to earn back the points lost in the previous game.

Like Sun Dan, when Zhang Cong got the test papers, as soon as he saw the two questions about military mobilization, he immediately noticed the deep intentions hidden behind the questions by the question maker. After considering everything, I started writing calmly.

After all, Zhang Cong has been in the capital for so many years. Because he bears the title of a famous scholar and is in contact with the superstructure on weekdays, his political sense is naturally much more sensitive than other newcomers in the imperial examination room.

After finishing these two questions, he was also secretly proud of himself.Secretly said: Although I didn't score high in the first exam, but if there is no accident in the second exam, I can definitely prove that I am not a candidate.The loss in the first game was fully recovered in the second game, and everyone was on the same starting line again.Therefore, the key lies in the three stereotyped essays in the third scene.

Regarding Shiwen, Zhang Cong has been immersed for many years, and his teeth are yellow. No matter what questions the examiner asks, he can't beat him.

From the looks of it, there is no doubt that this subject is guaranteed to be a Jinshi or awarded a Jinshi.

He stroked his beard, which was already dirty and sticky, and even thought about how decent he would be when he entered the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, or, at worst, when he was a scholar.

Zhang Cong got up early in the morning and began to do the remaining two questions. These two questions seemed to be not difficult for him, but it would take some time.He calculated that he should be able to complete the fourth question in the morning, and then spend an afternoon working hard on the last question.

"Hey, I can finally sleep well tonight!" Zhang Cong sighed. He had insomnia all night for the past few days, and he just felt a little dazed. Fortunately, the saddest days have passed, and the next few days will be very easy.

When he was in a good mood, Zhang Cong's whole body glowed with vitality.

When he saw Sun Dan getting up, he even nodded to Sun Dan and smiled slightly.

Sun Dan was a little surprised by Zhang Cong's smile. He touched his face, thinking that there was something wrong with him today.After a long time, he came back to his senses.This Zhang Cong probably answered very satisfactorily in the second round, and he was provoking himself!

This old Zhang is indeed an eye for an eye.

In real history, this guy had a very bad reputation among scholars because he followed the emperor closely, and was treated as a gentle scum.Even in the later period of his administration, the party united and attacked dissidents, and his methods were fierce, and he was almost called a traitor.

If Zhang Cong wins Jinshi in the future, it's okay, but if he doesn't win, I'm afraid this guy will take his anger on himself.

For such a person with a strong personality, he can either be beaten to death with a stick, or he can be used by me. Letting him grow up is irresponsible to himself.

According to historical records, Zhang Cong couldn't get a Jinshi in this subject.Therefore, Sun Dan is now thinking about how to win over the chief think tank of Concubine Zhang's family.

Of course, there seems to be something wrong in history now. If Zhang Cong really won the Jinshi or was awarded the Jinshi in the end.Wouldn't Concubine Zhang's family have added a new general, but this is a headache.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Dan suddenly burst out laughing: You need to be hard on your own to strike an iron. I have worked hard for Zhang Cong for a long time. If the difficulty of the last two questions is so abnormal that I can't handle it myself, and I lose my name to Sun Shan, then it will be a joke!In any case, you have to pass the exam first to be king.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan also calmed down, opened the last two papers of the second session and started to read.

After reading this, he continued to smile wryly: it was still two perverted exam questions.

If the first question in the second field involves history, the second and third questions involve military affairs, then the fourth and fifth questions involve economics.

Still the same sentence, if there are still people who say in front of Sun Dan that the ancient imperial examinations are all about reading and memorizing, writing stereotyped articles, and taking nerds, Sun Dan will be anxious with whoever.

In terms of practicality and the level of social knowledge involved, the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were comparable to modern civil service examinations in terms of scientificity and comprehensiveness.The corruption of the imperial examination was in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty originally implemented the rule of enslavement and ignorance of the people. The more incompetent and dull the officials and the people, the more the ruling class liked it.

Like the second and third questions, the fourth and fifth questions are actually considered one.

The titles are: If you are the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, in view of the chaotic situation of private iron mines in the territory, write a memorial to ask the imperial court to ban the private iron ore smelting industry;
If you are the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, in view of the chaotic management of the government-run iron mines in the territory, write a memorial to ask the imperial court to abolish the government-run iron mines, and turn the small mines into official ones in the form of leasing and selling.

……

Sun Dan wanted to laugh when he saw this question: What is this? It is completely letting the candidates fight with their left hands and right hands, and they debate with themselves.

The most important thing is that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, private mining of salt and iron has been strictly prohibited, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.In the early Ming Dynasty, the management of iron ore mines was also very strict, and private mining was strictly prohibited.But since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the country has gradually relaxed this restriction, allowing private individuals to enter the mining industry.

However, salt and iron are military supplies, and it is easy to make mistakes if one answer is not good!
