Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1469, the choice is to govern the country

The examination passed quickly, and it was time to grade the papers.

The examiners who graded the examination papers were also the officials who presided over the examination. Liu Jin and Han Wen were the chief examiners, called the chief examiners. In addition, there were university scholars with Jinshi backgrounds, ministers, and officials above the deputy capital censor. The number was about 18. People around, called the same examiner, basically served by the Hanlin of the Imperial Academy.

Their task is to conduct seals, appointments, school teams and the most important marking during the exam.

At this time, at the marking office, eighteen fellow examiners are intensively marking the papers. They are divided into three groups in total, corresponding to the marking of the southern, northern and eastern rankings.

Because the level of the students in the three rankings is quite different, especially the gap between the students in the East Ranking and the students in the North and South Rankings is very obvious, so they are all selected separately.

The rules for selecting scholars are based on the total population of the provinces in the North, South and Dongbang accounting for the total population of the Ming Dynasty, and then calculated based on the number of Jinshi admitted this time.

In fact, the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty was regarded as the fairest and fairest in all dynasties. Compared with the college entrance examination system in later generations, it was much fairer. Even in Beizhili, where the emperor was at the foot of the emperor, there was still nothing special about it. care.

It’s just that the emperor sometimes gives a few more places for candidates, that is, during the autumn period, if only 100 people can be selected for the autumn examination in a general province, the North Zhili side is at the foot of the emperor, and the emperor pays special attention to it. Give ten or twenty more places, that is, 110 or 120 people can be elected at a time.

But when it comes to the examination, there is no special care, Beizhili is in the Beibang, competing with students from the northern provinces for Jinshi places.

"Liu Gong, the preparations for grading are ready~"

Liu Jin, who was dressed in a crimson robe, came to the marking office, and Han Wen hurried over to ask for instructions.

"Well, let's start~"

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered.

"Yes~"

Han Wen and the eighteen examiners replied in unison, and then began to mark the papers intensively.

The various systems of the imperial examinations are extremely strict, and they pay great attention to fairness and justice, and there are also many rules in marking papers.

One of the ambiguous names is that the examinee's papers are copied by a special person, and the name, place of origin, etc. of the examinee are all ambiguous. Who owns the test papers that I copied and graded.

In addition, when grading the papers, they are all randomly selected for grading, and there are no rules at all. When you look at the uniformly transcribed test papers, you don't even know who it is.

In grading papers, a test paper is usually graded by at least six fellow examiners, and the signatures, stamps, seals, etc. of these six fellow examiners will be left on it for later review.

When grading the papers, if the fellow examiners like a certain paper, they will recommend it to other fellow examiners. If several fellow examiners think it is good, they will leave the word "take" on it, and approve the paper with the word "take". It will be sent to the examiner. If the examiner also thinks it is good, he will write the word "中" on it, which means high school.

At the same time, there are strict regulations on the time for marking the papers. It is required to finish all the papers within a certain period of time and publish the list within the specified time.

Therefore, the time for grading papers was very tight, so that Liu Jin, who had always been lazy, had to work overtime to join in the work of grading papers.

At the marking office, eighteen fellow examiners were busy marking the papers, while Liu Jin and Han Wen were sitting leisurely, drinking tea, and waiting for the fellow examiners to deliver satisfactory papers.

"Liu Gong, Han Gong, this volume is not bad, I and others think it can be taken."

Soon, a fellow examiner brought a paper and delivered it to Liu Jin.

"Hmm~"

Liu Jin picked up the paper and read it carefully.

It has to be said that this paper is indeed full of literary talents, full of talent, citing scriptures, and writing beautiful and beautiful articles, but after Liu Jin read it carefully, he frowned slightly.

Because although the article is very beautiful, but the understanding of today's Daming is very superficial, just blindly touting the prosperity of today's Ming Dynasty, without a deep understanding of the actual situation, did not see the problems facing Daming and put forward some constructive ideas sexual opinion.

"The rhetoric is gorgeous, the literary talent is flying, but I have a shallow understanding of the current situation in Ming Dynasty, so I don't like it!"

After reading it, Liu Jin also directly gave an evaluation, and then wrote the word 'no' with a red pen on the test paper.

Then Liu Jin handed the test paper to Han Wen and said, "Han Gong, take a look~"

Obviously, Han Wen has seen Liu Jin's red cloak and heard Liu Jin's words. He picked up the test paper and read it carefully. As you said, although my literary talents are good, my understanding of the great Ming I have today is very shallow."

After finishing speaking, the word 'no' was also written in Korean on it, and a comment was also written on it.

The other examiners couldn't help being slightly surprised when they saw that Liu Jin and Han Wen directly rejected the papers they thought were feasible as soon as they came.

This Liu Jin's work is really unexpected, such a brilliant paper, Liu Jin can't get it right, maybe after the list is announced, some students will inevitably make trouble and demand to check the paper.

However, after thinking about it, they quickly shook their heads. These things are not what they need to worry about. If there is anything at that time, it will be the responsibility of Liu Jin, the chief examiner.

The grading continued, and the test papers were continuously reviewed by the grading officer, and some papers were sent to Liu Jin from time to time.

"Well, although this paper's literary talent is not too outstanding, it has a good view and understanding of the current situation of our Ming Dynasty. Knowing that our Ming Dynasty is facing a vast territory and the current situation of the imperial court's weak rule over remote areas, I propose It’s not bad to vigorously build the railway and communicate with me about suggestions from various places in Ming Dynasty.”

Liu Jin looked at a test paper. The students in this test paper believed that the problems facing the Ming Dynasty were the vast territory, inconvenient transportation between different places, and the current situation of the imperial court's weak control over remote areas. They proposed to vigorously develop railways and build a comprehensive The suggestion of the railway network strengthened Ming's control over the vast land.

Liu Jin was very happy to write the word '中' on it.

"This one is also good. It fully sees the tribal problems in my Ming Dynasty."

"My Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and many tribes. There are hundreds of tribes, large and small, and their development levels vary widely. Some are even at a very primitive tribal stage."

"The suggestions put forward are also quite good. Continue to adhere to the strategy of comprehensive Ming Dynasty. Books and texts are on the same track, establish a unified Daming value and ideological outlook, and finally realize the integration of the nation."

"Good, good, medium!"

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction while reading it, and wrote the word '中' on it.

The test papers were sent to Liu Jin one after another, and Liu Jin basically destroyed all the candidates who could only blindly pile up rhetoric.

The article is beautifully written, but I don't know much about the current situation in Ming Dynasty today.

You must know that the Daming Morning Post is quite popular now. Those who are scholars will basically read the Ming Morning Post. They should know something about the current politics of the Ming Dynasty and the many problems that the Ming Dynasty is facing today. No matter how appropriate Give some suggestions that you think are feasible, and Liu Jin will easily let you pass the test.

However, there are many students who show off their rhetoric, do not mention anything about the current Ming Dynasty, or do not have their own knowledge and opinions on the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, Liu Jin will reject them all.

Intense marking is underway.

All over the capital, after several days of torment, the students finally finished their exams, and they also gathered together in small groups to talk about this time's imperial examinations and relax at the same time.

Here at Wangyue Tower, famous Ming talents such as Lu Nan, Jing Yang, Dai Dabin gathered together, drinking and relaxing, and chatting about the exam this time.

"Brother Lu, what do you think of the test?"

Jing Yang took a sip of wine. When he saw Liu Jin in the examination room, he became very uneasy. This time, he could be said to have been greatly affected by the exam, so after the exam, he seemed to be very nervous. sullen.

"It's okay. Although Mr. Liu's question is unexpected, it is in line with Mr. Liu's usual style of doing things."

Lu Nan thought for a while and said.

"Then what aspect did you write about?"

Dai Dabin and the others also hurriedly asked.

"I mainly write about the population of my Ming Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty has a vast land and few people, but the population is very small. I suggest that my Ming Dynasty should vigorously encourage childbearing, and at the same time introduce women from outside to bear children for my Ming people. At the same time Increase the labor force, pay attention to the protection of newborns, and vigorously promote new delivery techniques."

Lu Nan thought for a while and replied.

"Is this okay to write?"

Jing Yang asked in surprise.

"It should be written like this. After all, the topic is Daming today. It must be that we write about the current situation of Daming, find out some problems that we think are problematic, and then give some suggestions."

"Mr. Liu is an official of the Practical Sect. When we answer the questions, we should answer the questions according to Mr. Liu's character and behavior style."

Lu Nan replied.

"Oops~"

"After listening to Brother Lu say that, I'm done."

"I didn't think about this at all. It was all about praising the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty today, and I didn't write about the problems facing Ming Dynasty at all."

"It's over, it's over, it's over now."

When someone heard Lu Nan's words, they couldn't help but feel sad, and suddenly felt that high school was hopeless.

Jing Yang on the side also turned black after listening to it, and he also used gorgeous rhetoric to praise the prosperous age of Ming Dynasty.
