Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 320 Candidates Ask Examiners Questions
The nine-day examination was finally over. Tens of thousands of candidates left the Tribute Court with exhausted bodies, while hundreds of officials including Wen Zhenmeng and Wang Zheng entered the Tribute Court in a hurry.

No way, there are too many candidates this year.

Tens of thousands of people have three principles of "Four Books", four principles of "Five Classics", five principles of law and judgment, plus five principles of classics, history, current affairs and policy, that is nearly 20 test papers!

There are so many test papers, not to mention consulting and judging, copying can copy people to death.

Dozens of examiners and honor recorders are definitely not enough, at least several hundred, otherwise it would be impossible for the tribute list to be ranked in less than a month.

It would be a big joke if the Gongshi list could not be released before the palace examination.

Therefore, no matter how many test papers there are, they must be read within less than a month after the general test and before the palace test.

This time, the examiner of the liberal arts was so dizzy that his head almost exploded.

Because every candidate has to check and judge each question carefully, so that there is no controversy in the liberal arts tribute list. There are nearly 20 test papers. Just looking at them can kill a person!
It is relatively easy for science test examiners, because 1000 of the more than 800 science candidates are appointed internally.

What's more, the "Four Books" have three righteousness, the "Five Classics" have four righteousness, and try to discuss one rule and five principles. Those are not the key points, but the last "reason" is the key point.

In other words, they only need to look at the first twelve questions, as long as the essays written by these candidates are of a normal level.

This is a science subject, and the focus is not on making articles, but on studying technology. Therefore, the final question is the one that really ranks in the tribute list.

This is easy.

Taichang didn't even order someone to transcribe or seal the test paper in order to let the science graders finish the test paper as soon as possible.

There is no way, there are too few talents who understand technology at the moment, and there are only a few people who can make accurate judgments on the last question, such as Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua.

Moreover, they are all very busy, and they don't have much time to waste on grading papers.

Therefore, Taichang let them see the original papers of the candidates, and they didn't even seal their names.

This is of course not good, because it makes it too easy for the examiners to cheat.

Taichang is only going to do this once, and he will definitely not do it next time.

Because next time there will be more officials who can read the papers, disciples of Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua, and even Xu Guangqi's disciples can be judges.

But this time, they are all candidates and cannot be graders.

Next time he won't just come up with a "reason".

This time there is no way, because the time is too short, and the candidates at this time have not systematically studied the relevant technical theories, they have no way to ask any technical questions, and can only let these candidates talk about their own knowledge about science or science. Talk about the understanding of various technologies.

This question seems very simple to people who really understand technology, if you can do it, you can’t do it, and you can tell the level at a glance.

So Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua and others checked the examination papers very quickly. In half a day, they finished reading the examination papers of the seven or eight hundred people who had come out of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, and their rankings were basically determined.

When Taichang ran over after lunch, they were looking at the test papers of the remaining five or six hundred people who might steal the chicken.

These people don't even need to read the first twelve questions, they only need to read the last question.

Because Taichang has already said that the gang of chicken thieves will be severely punished. If the answer to the last question is wrong, and it has nothing to do with arithmetic, agronomy, and technology, then they will be dismissed directly!
In other words, they only need to see how well they answered the last question.

If it is about real arithmetic, agronomy, technology and other related content, then it can be listed on the tribute list.

If you don't have anything to do with these, then feel embarrassed, and you will be dismissed directly, and you don't need to read the first twelve questions!
So, among these 600 people, do any of them really understand arithmetic, agronomy, or even technology?
When Taichang walked in, Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua were all shaking their heads and throwing the test papers aside quickly.

Obviously, these people are here to steal chickens, and few of them really understand arithmetic, agronomy, technology and other related knowledge.

At least, they haven't seen a few yet.

Taichang walked to Wang Zheng's side, looked at the test paper he had just thrown aside on the table, and couldn't help shaking his head.

This guy's argument turned out to be reasonable!

Who is reasoning with you?
You applied for the science department and asked you to reason, but you actually reasoned, you are afraid that your head will be kicked by a donkey!

He also threw the test paper on the table, and then went to Bi Maokang to look at the test papers of the candidates who came out of the liberal arts college.

At the moment, Bi Maokang is earnestly ranking the rankings in the Science Contribution List.

Although he was the deputy chief examiner, he was responsible for arranging the rankings of the science tribute list this time, and Xu Guangqi didn't even take a look at it.

Because this time Xu Guangqi's son Xu Ji also took the science test, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Guangqi naturally would not come.

Bi Maokang set Xu Ji at the top of the science tribute list, because Xu Ji's agronomy is so good that he can be called a model when it comes to agronomy.

Moreover, the second is Xu Guangqi's disciple Chen Zilong, because Chen Zilong also learned agronomy quite well.

Even the third is Xu Guangqi's disciple Xu Fuyuan, because this guy talks about the way of doing business very well.

When Taichang saw the test papers of these three people, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

Are you trying to avoid suspicion for yourself, or are you cheating Xu Guangqi?
The top three in the science tribute list are either Xu Guangqi's sons or Xu Guangqi's disciples. Aren't you scolding the chief minister of the cabinet!

Taichang knew that the disciples of Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, and Sun Yuanhua were actually very good in technique, and their theory must be good, but these guys chose to rank Xu Guangqi's son and disciple first. avoid suspicion.

The question is, can't do it like this!
Doing so would cause Xu Guangqi to scold him for the time being, as long as there is not one of the top three science scholars who studies technology, it will not work.

The reason why he came up with a double list of arts and sciences is mainly to encourage scholars to study technology. These guys are good, but none of the top three studies technology. Isn't this encouraging scholars to study agriculture and business?

Taichang was about to discuss with Bi Maokang to change the ranking of the tribute list, but Song Yingxing suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, this person is interesting!"

interesting?
What's the point?
Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help walking over with curiosity.

He looked down at the test paper in Song Yingxing's hand, and was immediately attracted by what was on it.

This man is really interesting.

The examinee even drew a picture on the test paper, and this guy gave the examiner an arithmetic problem at the beginning of the chapter, and taught the examiner how to use an abacus to calculate!
An example of arithmetic: knowing a monk with a bowl.

The majestic ancient temple is in the mountains. I don't know how many monks there are in the temple.

360 four bowls, just enough to run out.

Three people share a bowl of rice, and four people share a bowl of rice.

May I ask, sir, who can count, how many monks come to the temple.

This question is based on the method of positioning with abacus.

Several positioning methods are strange, because the multiplication is all downward displacement.

Addition and subtraction only need to recognize the standard, return and divide the superior.

The law is more than the original number is reversed, and the method before the law is zero and the next is appropriate.

The law is less than the original number, and the law is the zero-inverse knowledge.

Candidates give the examiner questions, and also teach the examiner how to use the abacus.

This guy is really interesting.

Obviously, this guy is proficient in arithmetic, has a deep understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and even applies it to the abacus!
Song Yingxing was already interested, and he said directly to the door, "Get an abacus!"

Taichang is also interested, but he doesn't need an abacus.

This question may seem a bit difficult, but it can be calculated quickly with a simple formula.

As for this formula.

That is, uh kowtow divided by three plus uh kowtow divided by four equals 360 four.

Three and four have the same denominator twelve, and after the common division, it is seven twelfths.

360 four divided by seven equals 52, and err, squeak equals 52 multiplied by twelve.

Uh kowtow is equal to 620 four!

Taichang just calculated silently in his heart for a while before he knew the answer.

And at this moment, Song Yingxing had just received the abacus from the general of the Fifth Army Battalion.

This guy is worthy of compiling an encyclopedia, and he is also very good at abacus.

He stared at the positioning method carefully, then stared at the abacus for a while, and then quickly flipped the abacus and counted.
