Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Suddenly!

His eyes lit up!

"I understand!"

"These words should be read horizontally from left to right!"

"Instead of reading vertically from right to left as before!"

"In addition to the horizontal line in the middle, Your Majesty wants the scholars to fill in the blanks."

Having said that, he pointed to a certain place in the test paper and said to Wu Chunfu with a proud look on his face.

"did you see!"

"Your Majesty has already made it clear that this is a fill-in-the-blank question!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chunfu came over and looked at the test questions as Wen Tiren said.

After changing his reading method, he quickly understood the content intuitively.

【Fill in the blanks: Please complete the following content according to the prompts. Each question is worth three points.】

[The duties of the township officials are to be in charge of the political, religious and prohibitory laws of their townships. They are _________________. They are supported by flags and banners, and their laws are carried out.]

this.........

This is a fill-in-the-blank question!

Wen Tiren knew that the source of this text was the "Book of Zhou" about the duties and selection system of local officials.

Look down again.

[The local officials are in charge of the state, each of them is in charge of the number of people in their locality and they correct and warn them. Whenever there is a major incident in the suburbs, those who violate the order will be executed.]

Another fill-in-the-blank question!

This question also comes from "The Book of Zhou", which is a passage from "Autumn Officials and Sikou".

Continue reading, there are still fill-in-the-blank questions!

The densely packed text made Wen Tiren more and more excited, and he slapped Wu Chunfu on the shoulder.

"I understand!"

"I understand the purpose of your majesty's question now!"

"Have you noticed that 70% of these questions are from Zhou Li!"

"Although it is not obvious in the court now, the people are on the verge of collapse!"

"Your Majesty has worked so hard for me, and I am really ashamed of myself!"

After saying that, Wen Tiren put his big hand on Wu Chunfu's shoulder, pulled him in front of him, and threatened him in a very serious tone.

"This set of test questions is what I think is most suitable for the current Ming Dynasty!"

"If you can't print out 1,600 test papers within half an hour, I will kill you!"

"I'm going to kill you right here!"

Wu Chunfu was so frightened that he was shaking, and quickly took over the test papers and organized people to typeset them.

Damn it!

It's just a set of test questions. Is it necessary to make this old guy so excited?

Look at it, it’s as if someone is trying to steal his shit!

There are at least one or two thousand words and countless underlines on this set of test papers.

The text was fine, but the underline left the craftsmen at a loss.

There is no ready-made font!

Thanks to Wu Chunfu's cleverness, he had some bamboo sent over, which was split into thin strips and glued to the other end of the mold. This solved the problem.

A clerk stood on the table and read out every word in the test paper.

Then a craftsman found the corresponding character mold from the shelf next to it and arranged it on the printing plate.

In less than twenty minutes, the four printing plates were ready.

Then, the printing press made a slight bang and the first test paper was printed out.

Wen Tiren stepped forward, picked up the test paper and checked it. After confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions in the printing, he waved his hand to the craftsmen.

“Print with all your strength!”

As soon as the test papers were printed, the craftsmen took them aside, used bellows to blow dry the ink on them, and then stacked them neatly together.

Half an hour later, the palace door was reopened.

Zhu Youjian, who was guarding outside, saw this and immediately shouted.

"The first exam of the eighth year of Tianqi, the Scholars exam, has officially begun!"

"In this scientific examination, you have one hour to answer the questions!"

"Curls!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of Jinyiwei rushed in, carried out the test papers, and distributed them one by one to the scholars who had been waiting for a long time.

No surprise!

The scholars who received the test papers were also stunned at first!

What the hell!

What the hell is this? ? ?

Chapter 242 If you don’t go, you’re just a big shot!

Wu Chunfu, who walked out of the hall with Wen Tiren, saw the scholars scratching their heads and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Master Wen, would you like to tell the scholars the correct way to mark the papers?"

Wen Tiren glared at him directly.

"Why remind?"

"If you don't even have this much adaptability, how can you take on big responsibilities in the future?"

Wu Chunfu curled his lips and obediently stepped aside, feeling a deep sympathy for the scholars in this subject.

It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that the guy who got plagued is too bad!

As a result, a polarized scene emerged in the examination room.

Someone understood it, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote the answer on it.

Those who didn't understand could only listen to the sound of ink grinding and test papers flipping from next door, and sit there with a confused look on their faces.

Zhu Youjian walked around the examination room with his hands behind his back, glancing at the students' test papers from time to time.

Although he didn't know what the content of the test paper was before, after turning it around, he realized that this time the test paper had to be read horizontally.

Seeing the anxious looks on the scholars' faces, he shook his head in disappointment.

He shares the same view as Wen Tiren...

Such a person is of no use!

Too wooden!

He even wanted to knock open these people's heads to see if there was paste inside!

I'm afraid that the cleverness these people use when they write acrostic poems on a daily basis has all been lost in the brothel?

Until another half hour passed, there were still hundreds of people staring at the test papers in a daze.

Suddenly, a gong sounded over the Imperial Examination Hall.

Then, the Jinyiwei's reminders were heard.

"This scientific examination is already halfway through!"

"After half an hour, collect the papers!"

It was not until this time that the students remembered what Zhu Youjian had said before, that the time limit was one hour.

This made them panic immediately.

Damn it, half of the time has passed and I didn’t even understand the test questions. I’m going to do absolutely nothing!

Some people who were mentally broken simply reached out to the door.

Then a Jinyiwei came over and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

The scholar said nervously, "Student, student, I want to go to the toilet."

But all he got back were two emotionless words: "Hold it!"

After the Jinyiwei finished speaking, he turned around and left the room.

The scholar sat back in his seat in frustration. Just as he picked up the paper, he heard the voice of the Jinyiwei coming from a distance again.

"When I was on duty, I even went without food or water for a whole day and night."

"It's only an hour long exam, why are there so many shits and pisses!"

Scholar:........

Damn it, if I could understand it, I would have made an excuse to go out and watch other people answer.

In the past, the imperial examinations would last for one day or even several days.

Therefore, things like going to the toilet are not banned at all. At most, a minor official will be sent to follow you to prevent you from communicating with other people.

But this time, there was only one hour to answer the questions, so the ban on going to the toilet became a matter of course.

This is very uncomfortable...

After sitting in the small room for a while, feeling very uncomfortable, the scholar pushed the door open and rushed out like a madman.

"Ah...I don't want to take the test anymore. I quit!"

"too difficult!"

"Wuwuwu...Mother...I will never study again..."

He ran out of the Imperial Examination Hall, crying loudly in pain.

As for his behavior, both the patrolling Jinyiwei and the scholars in the surrounding dormitories just glanced over here casually and then went about their business.

This is not the first time this has happened.

In the imperial examinations of previous years, many scholars were driven crazy by the tests.

The spring examination was relatively better, but by the autumn examination, it was common for candidates to suffer from heat stroke or fall ill because they had to stay in a small space for a long time.

Wen Tiren only glanced at the scholar's back, and then said to the clerk beside him: "Find out who he is, notify the Imperial College, and revoke his title of Juren!"

"Such a person would only waste the national treasury's financial resources even if he were to take the imperial examination again. There is no point in keeping him!"

"Yes!"

The clerk bowed and then walked into the scholar's room, took out his examination paper, and found out his hometown and name.

In a certain dormitory, Gu Yanwu, who was only fifteen years old, had finished answering all the fill-in-the-blank questions. Looking at a policy essay in front of him, a trace of confusion flashed through his mind.

[You are the magistrate of a certain place. The court will provide you with the following options as preparation for taking office. Please choose one and write down your policy! ]

[20 catties of fish and 2 fishing nets! ]

Isn’t this the principle of giving a man a fish and teaching him how to fish?

Why did Your Majesty ask such a question?

Isn’t it a bit too easy?

Although he had always been smart, he soon fell into the hole he had dug for himself. He stared at the test questions for a long time and did not dare to write.

There are many people who have the same situation as him.

At this moment, who predicted whose prediction became an unknown.
