Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 121 Silence, silence, still silence
Li Jin looked at the test questions in front of him and was immediately dumbfounded.

He subconsciously put down the test paper in his hand, wiped his eyes, and then read it again.

After confirming that he had read it correctly, Li Jin began to feel unworthy of the man who had been disqualified from the examination due to involvement. If he knew the test questions of this imperial examination, that man would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

As for the test questions in front of him, even if they were left for him to copy, he would have no place to copy them.

Who would risk entrapment?
After coming back to his senses, Li Jin began to examine the questions seriously.

first question:
If you were a county magistrate in the Sanjin area last year, what specific measures would you take in the face of a disaster?

A topic closely related to current affairs.

Is this to put yourself in the perspective of the county magistrate?
After a brief shock, Li Jin had completely come to his senses. After all, he had been baptized by Yang Xian's new learning and was quick to accept new things.

Li Jin thought about it carefully, and from the perspective of selecting talents, this question indeed had a higher purpose and more practical significance than the previous questions on the Four Books and Five Classics.

This question may not seem difficult, but if you don’t have enough knowledge, you will definitely not be able to answer it.

Many scholars may not even have a deep understanding of what a real disaster is. Their understanding of the disaster only stays in books. The bloody fact of exchanging children and eating is just four fluttering words in their eyes.

Unable to realize the seriousness of the situation, and at the same time unable to see clearly about oneself.

This question not only requires candidates to understand the seriousness of the disaster, but also to clearly understand what they can do as a county magistrate.

Compared to Li Jin.

Others did not react so quickly.

This question completely exceeded their expectations. This sudden change in the question and answer method caught most candidates off guard.

Because this has a great impact on their habitual thinking.

I haven’t become a county magistrate yet, so how do I know what to do as a county magistrate in the face of a disaster?

Although most people take it for granted.

But at least for this question, the candidates are not at a loss as they can always write [-], [-], and [-].

The second question is even more unfriendly.

How to quickly replenish the national treasury?
The candidates were dumbfounded. The previous question asked them to act as county magistrates. This time, they were asked to directly serve as ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Are they the boss of the Ministry of Finance?
If they can write a few sentences on how to provide disaster relief, this question will obviously be more difficult.

Li Jin pondered for a moment and settled on taxation, which was what most people thought.

Li Jin suddenly remembered the few words he heard from Yang Xian when he was a teacher in Yangzhou Primary School and chatting with Yang Xian while eating, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

However, he did not rush to answer the questions, but continued to browse the remaining questions in the exam paper.

Sure enough, all the test questions broke away from the conventional routine and focused on reality.

In addition to this policy examination paper, the second comprehensive examination paper involves even more complicated knowledge, including questions about grains, laws, and even highly professional questions such as water conservancy.

What kind of weird test questions are these?
Why do these things need to be tested in the imperial examination?

The entire examination institute.

All the candidates were silent for these two examination papers.

All the candidates present have passed the exam step by step, and only then can they participate in this final examination.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the proud sons of heaven.

Put them in their respective acres of land, which one is not a child prodigy.

At this time, these prodigies all had mixed feelings in their hearts.

After a smooth academic life, they only know how to study, and everything else is inferior, only studying is high.

Days like this have made them forget to respect other knowledge in life.The current Enke exam was like giving them a big fight, which made them wake up instantly.

Some of them couldn't even accept this reality and collapsed on the spot.

After half a lifetime of reading saints' books and their minds full of saints' words, they faced such an exam.

For example.

It's like the martial arts community wants to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Everyone practices martial arts hard, in constant cold and heat.Some of them, such as Xiao Linzi and Teacher Yue, even practice the "Evil Sword Manual" at their own expense, because they want to compete for the throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance that everyone envies.

But who would have thought that when they arrived at the scene of the martial arts leader, they found that the competition was not martial arts at all, but dancing.

Fight dance!

It's up to you whether you collapse or not.

Therefore, from this point of view, this encounter is also a great test for the psychological quality of all candidates.

All the candidates, holding the pens in their hands, seemed to have been cast a body-holding spell.

This scene is probably the first time since the imperial examination began.

Many people could barely cope with the previous policy paper. After all, although the way the questions were asked was different from the past and did not come from Confucian classics, the essence was still policy theory.

Many people were completely blinded by the second paper.

There is absolutely no way to write.

The books of saints will not tell them how to identify grains, how to build water conservancy projects, or how to prevent epidemics.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty cannot be saved.

It also cannot save these candidates who are taking the imperial examination.

The strange scene at the scene made the inspector Jiang Yong a little puzzled.

What the hell is going on right now?
It doesn't matter if there are only one or two candidates, but now almost all the candidates are in a state where they can't put down their pens, as if they are collectively possessed by an evil spirit.

No wonder before the imperial examination started, the examiner Li Shanchang and Li Xianghui were so solemn and specifically asked them, the examiners, to be cautious this time.

It seems that Li Xiangguo has already expected this situation.

The examiner must have been involved in the imperial examination. He subconsciously thought that Li Shanchang must know the content of the examination questions.

It's been almost half an hour, and no one has written yet. Are the first Enke exams in the founding of the Ming Dynasty so difficult?
Jiang Yong couldn't help but be a little curious.

Swish swish.

The sound of writing.

Someone still put pen to paper, and it doesn’t seem that difficult.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

It is the residence of Xuanzi.

Jiang Yong followed the sound. Since no one was writing in the entire examination room, the sound was particularly obvious.

He walked to the examinee's dormitory and secretly glanced at the questions on the examination paper.

If you were a county magistrate in the Sanjin area last year, what specific measures would you take in the face of a disaster?

Jiang Yong's expression changed. He knew what the disaster relief situation was like in Sanjin last year. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. Even those who were actually county officials didn't know what to do. Now these candidates are asked to answer questions here?
