Chapter 319 Examination ([-])
The highest school in the country, the Daxia Academy covers a huge area. Rows of thatched sheds are set up on the flat playground. The square tables under the thatched sheds are full of students from all over the country. According to the statistics, there are a total of 150 students who signed up this time.

The officials in charge of the examination patrolled the rows of huts back and forth to prevent cheating and plagiarism.

The exam questions this time were set by Wang Lang himself. Most of the questions were of the natural science type, and the difficulty level was equivalent to that of the third grade of elementary school.

In terms of essays, Wang Lang only had one essay with a free proposition, as long as he could write an essay of [-] words, the subject matter was not limited, as long as he could write clearly what he wanted to express, with as few typos as possible, he would be considered qualified.

This kind of examination level, in the eyes of modern people, is almost the same as giving for nothing, but for these students, it is not a small challenge.

The exam starts at nine o'clock on the sundial and ends at noon. In just three hours, the students taking the exam can be said to be like a year. Looking at the densely packed test questions on the test paper, many students are as big as a bucket, and they don't know how to grasp it. How much hair is lost.

Time passed by little by little, when the reflection of the sundial pointer turned into a black spot, accompanied by the sound of "Dangdangdang", Xia Guo's first selection examination officially ended.

Candidates walked out of the examination room exhausted and dizzy. When they met familiar classmates, they asked each other how they answered the questions. I must have miscalculated.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites collected the test papers and put the natural science test papers in the Ministry of Rites. These test questions have standard answers, and each question has a corresponding score. It is not very difficult to calculate the score.

The candidates' essays were hurriedly sent to the palace by the officials in charge, and Wang Lang personally reviewed them.

In the palace, Wang Lang sat at the desk and carefully checked each composition. Even though the words in these compositions were wrong, he still read them patiently and wrote down his own score.

And an article titled "After I Came to Xiaguo" caught Wang Lang's attention.

"I came to Xia Kingdom six years ago. At that time, I was only ten years old, maybe nine years old. I don't remember exactly. Six years ago, His Majesty the Emperor brought us back from the other side of the valley. After that, I separated from my mother. Later, I learned that my mother was married. I didn’t know what it meant to be married. At that time, I was very scared, thinking that I would never see my mother again, and I thought I was going to die, but it didn’t take long. , I was sent to Linhe with other children to learn to write with Lin Shangshu. At that time, I was very repulsed by learning and always wanted to return to my mother. Run away secretly.

During the time in Linhe, besides working and studying every day, Lin Shangshu was very strict, as long as he couldn’t answer a question, he would beat us. After thinking about it, what Lin Shangshu did was right, if he didn’t beat us, Ren Renping, let's go to play, and now I won't sit here anymore.

In the past six years, I have watched Xia Kingdom gradually become stronger, from a few hundred people at the beginning, with only two small cities, to such a huge scale today, I am very shocked. The warriors of the tribe defeated the invading enemies. I looked at the soldiers who returned victorious. I didn’t know why I felt a sense of pride. Maybe I had completely regarded myself as a member of the tribe.

Later, the tribe wiped out the five tribes of the grassland and established the Xia Kingdom. I was also asked to study in the school in Yancheng. Here I met my mother once. After so many years, I grew taller and changed my appearance. But my mother is much older. She told me that her husband is a soldier, and now she has two children. I went to my mother’s house and saw my brother and sister. The two children are very healthy. They asked me to stay and live with them, but I refused. I don’t know why. Looking at their family, I have an indescribable feeling that I am not suitable to stay here. We students without families built houses called dormitories so we wouldn't sleep outside.

For my own life, students like me, after studying for half a day, will go to the wild to catch some small animals or harvest some forage to sell to the trading station. We use the copper coins we have saved to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Paper is a good tool. Things, but they are too expensive. I really hope that I can use inexhaustible paper in the future, so that I can write more words.

If I can become an official in this exam, I must use the knowledge I have learned to help the people of Xia Kingdom to live a better life.

Your Majesty said, our country of Xia is civilized, and those barbarians outside are barbarians. The people of Xia have the responsibility to educate these barbarians, but for the barbarians who keep on educating, we can only beat them hard to let them know the benefits of civilization. I think your majesty What you said is right, unless the human beings in this world are fools, they don't want to be Xia people.

"

Wang Lang finished reading this fairly fluent article in one breath, and stroked his beard in satisfaction. This article not only has fewer typos and omissions, but also the scroll surface is very neat. The calligraphy is written at the same level as Wang Lang. This level shows how hard this student works on weekdays.

Looking at the signature, I saw that it said, Zheng Sen.

Wang Lang memorized the name, and wrote 100 in bold characters on the examination paper with red ink.

Most of the following articles are still unsightly, only a few of them can still catch Wang Lang's eyes, but there is no composition that can compare with Zheng Sen's.

As for Wang He's composition, Wang Lang has also read it. The handwriting is still neat, but there are too many typos and the meaning is not clear. In the end, Wang Lang only gave him a passing standard of [-].

Three days later, the Ministry of Rites counted the results of all the candidates, and a piece of white paper with a square of two meters was filled with densely packed names.

When the list was released, the candidates who were waiting for the results in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites rushed forward, nervously looking for their names on the list.

"Zheng Sen! No.1 in Yijia, 190 points!

Li Dahe!First Class No.2, 180 three points!
Feng Yu, No.3 in Yijia, 170 nine points!
"

Seeing the names of the three people at the top of the list, everyone was extremely envious, and the three of them stared at the list for a while, speechless.

"Brother Zheng! Congratulations! I knew from the beginning that Brother Zheng would be fine in taking the exam, but I didn't expect to be No. 1!" A friend of Zheng Sen said enviously.

"Brother Wu, I didn't expect that either. Is it true?" Zheng Sen, who was still childish, swallowed, a little in disbelief.

　Thanks for the reward from Jibu Imagawa
