I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 366, Simple Imperial Examination
Xian Yuping said: "Staying in Youzhou is the right choice. At the beginning, the big man was not divided and he was not an opponent in power. Now the imperial court does not have a person in charge of the overall situation, and the big man is also torn apart. There is no one in the world who is an opponent in power. Zi Hou If you really go to Jingzhou, you may have to surrender to the ruling power after a few years!"

Gongsun continued: "We have all become ordinary people, and we still care about what to do. The most important thing now is the imperial examination. Only if we pass the exam will we have a future!"

Then he said worriedly: "I don't worry about writing articles. We have all read classics for more than ten years. It is not a problem to write a 500-word article. At least I won't lose to the students of the college, but I don't care about mathematics." I didn’t study well. Back then, I didn’t study well in "Nine Chapters of Calculus". The mathematics in Daqian was even more difficult than "Nine Chapters of Calculations". I did a few math test papers of Jizhou College, and the number of times I passed the test was very few! "

Tian Chou heard this and said, "Is it really so difficult?"

Gongsun Xu picked up a test paper and gave it to Tian Chou!

Tian Chou looked at the test paper and found that there were many symbols that he couldn't understand, let alone how to do it, so there were question marks all over his head?
Xian Yuping said: "There are many symbols in this math test paper that are different from ours. Those who have not studied basic mathematics can't even read the paper. These symbols were made by a patriarch named Baghdad in power. It's weird, but after learning it, it is indeed simpler and clearer than the numbers of our big man!"

No way, Arabic numerals have not yet appeared in this era, so Xu Wei can only say that this is the research of his teacher, but he is a little ashamed anyway, and he did not take the credit for Baghdad. As for this is the civilization of Tianzhu The product now belongs to China. Xu Wei is not ashamed of this. After all, it was also impersonated by the Arabs, which made Tianzhu have no right to speak.

Tian Chou read the basic mathematics, and he really introduced the meaning of these symbols, but this made him even more worried. As long as the mathematics on the test is completely different from the mathematics he imagined, he has no foundation at all, and it will take a lot of time to learn it. However, the time for the imperial examination is approaching, and he has no time to study at all.

Lu Dun saw Tian Chou's worry and said in relief: "Everyone has no foundation, at most we will read a few more days than you. With your talent for reading, you should be able to catch up soon!"

Xian Yuping smiled and said: "The reason why we met here is to help each other, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"

Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "Everyone learns from each other, so the efficiency will be faster!"

So from this day on, Tian Chou came here every day. He already had the basics. It took less than three days to finally learn the basics of mathematics. He barely has the mathematics foundation of elementary school students!

But he has no time to continue studying, June [-]th!The grand imperial examinations have officially begun!
On this day, as soon as the sky was dawn, countless students got up, and they brought their pens, ink, paper and inkstones and various writing items.

Then they went out of the city one after another, because Xu Wei relaxed the standards, as long as he felt that he was a scholar, he could take the imperial examination, so there were more than [-] scholars from Jixian County to take the exam, so it was obviously difficult for Jixian County to arrange for so many people Yes, Xu Wei simply recruited a battalion of soldiers and asked them to build a camp that can accommodate [-] people. They made simple desks and seats, and a simple and huge examination room was completed.

Early in the morning on the day of the exam, Tian Chou and the others got together and lined up to enter the exam room!Groups of heavily armed soldiers lined up to maintain order in the examination room!

Jia Xu, who was appointed by Xu Wei as the chief examiner of Ji County, shouted: "According to the ruling order: all reference scholars, please go to the corresponding examination room in an orderly manner. Today will be the first round of the imperial examination. The examination time is one hour. Elimination, all scholars are not allowed to make noise, make trouble, or whisper in the examination room, and anyone who violates the rules will be disqualified from reference."

After speaking, Jia Xu asked the soldiers to open the passage and let the candidates enter the examination room.

Just as he was entering the examination room, Tian Chou found out that some candidates had brought books into the room, and the examiner didn't care about it. He immediately pulled Xian Yuping to remind him to pay attention. Down.

Xian Yuping whispered: "This is none of our business!" Obviously he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

However, too many scholars brought books into the examination room, which caused a commotion among everyone. Many scholars with a strong sense of justice reported the cheating scholars to the examiners!
As a last resort, Jia Xu could only come out and say to these scholars: "It can be done if there is no prohibition by the law. I have just mentioned the rules of the exam. There is no one of which says that you can't bring books!"

Then he seemed to be afraid that they would not be convinced and said: "This is actually an open-book exam, but it is useless if you bring books! Because you won't test any content in the book! You will understand when you enter the exam room."

Jia Xu also felt helpless. He had also studied in Taixue back then, and had gone through the exams several times. It was the first time he heard about you for the open-book exam. He protested to Xu Wei, but Xu Wei was worried.Many people are afraid that it is difficult to write a 500-word article. After all, Xu Wei thinks that the middle school students only have this level of Chinese. He is really worried that he will not be able to find 3000 middle school students.

It's okay, Tian Chou feels that his three views have been shattered, and he can still bring books for the exam!The same is true for other examinees, and many even ask their relatives and friends to bring some books over quickly, so as to be prepared.

After half an hour, all candidates entered the examination room!

Then each soldier gave them a test paper with only one sentence written on the test paper.Write a 500-word essay with any style!

After Tian Chou saw it, he suddenly realized that he had to stop bringing books. It turned out that even if he brought books, it was useless, and the content of the exam was too simple and too random. Even a mere student could pass the exam.

It is not difficult for Tian Chou to write a 500-word article, but what is difficult is how to write a subtle statement within 500 words, how to write brilliantly, surpassing [-]% of the candidates here, so as to stand out, he thought for a long time and wanted to write What a wonderful article, after you have an idea, start writing quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a 500-word article was written.He checked it and found that there were no typos, and he was considered neat, so he handed in the paper in advance.

Jia Xu looked at it and nodded, with awe-inspiring literary talent, no wonder he dared to hand in the paper first.

Jia Xu sighed again, but such a good literary talent was wasted, because the criteria for passing the first exam are extremely simple, as long as an article can be read smoothly and has no typos.

This round of examinations is to screen out people who can read and write. Now, those who have the composition level of middle school students are already considered talents, and such talents are enough to become a small official of Baishi.If the number of qualified people is small, you can even become an official if you pass this round.

If there are many qualified people, another group will be eliminated in the second round of math exams. It can only be said that this batch of candidates has caught up with the good times, and there is no need to be too introverted. Xu Wei even worried that there are not many qualified people, so he opened the exam. When it came to words that he couldn't write, he looked through the book anyway. Jia Xu estimated that future candidates would never receive such good treatment.
