In front of the Nanyang Examination Center in Jingzhou.

When Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and other Nanyang scholars arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.

The people present included scholars, ordinary people, officials and their families, as well as traffickers and soldiers, it was a very complicated crowd.

Some of these people came to watch the fun, some came to choose a son-in-law, and some even came to meet Maocai, a talented man from Nanyang.

As the first place in the selection examination, Zhuge Liang naturally attracted everyone's attention. When the Nanyang scholar circle he belonged to arrived, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

People who made friends with Zhuge Liang, such as Pang Tong, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping and others, were all knowledgeable and talented people.

Another old friend, Xu Shu, is now the prefect of Jiangxia in Jingzhou.

This is a circle of top academics.

Therefore, these people are almost among the best in Nanyang's selection examination. It naturally aroused everyone's expectations.

They want to see if these people can pass the provincial examination this time and how far they can go!

Many officials and their families even want to choose a son-in-law. But it was obvious that Zhuge Liang, who was already married, ignored this.

The eight-faced man chatted happily with the people around him.

Time flies, and the provincial examination finally begins.

The talented people who have advanced through the selection examination have gone through strict inspections one after another, and then entered the examination room with ease.

Liu Chen's original idea was to conduct the selection examination in each county. After the provincial examination, it would be gathered in various states and counties.

Unexpectedly, nearly 10 million people participated this time, and in the end, the number of people admitted to Maocai reached more than 3 million.

There are so many candidates that just one county cannot accommodate them, so each county can only continue to hold exams on their own.

As for counties with smaller numbers, candidates are brought together to avoid wasting resources.

When Zhuge Liang and others stepped into the examination room this time, they obviously found that the standards this time were even stricter.

Whether it is the lineup of examiners, the surrounding patrol guards, or the admission inspection, they are all heavily guarded!

It seems that this time is not a provincial examination, but a Han Emperor's inspection tour.

This kind of attention also made Zhuge Liang look forward to this imperial examination even more! The more the court pays attention to it, the more important the test scores are.

The final result will surely be very important!

Zhuge Liang selected the examination area and went there familiarly. Everything inside was on the same scale as the selection exam. He took his seat with ease and waited for the exam to start.

I don’t know how much time passed, but when the gong rang, this provincial examination began.

One after another, soldiers distributed test papers.

The subjects, time, etc. of the exam are exactly the same as the selection exam.

When Zhuge Liang looked at the mathematics test paper of the provincial examination, his expression finally became serious!

Difficult!

Much more difficult than the selection exam!

There are functions, calculus, algebraic geometry, etc. in the mathematics test papers. Those who can read them will be dizzy.

If the selection examination is equivalent to the difficulty of the college entrance examination, students who only need to reach the junior college level can easily pass the Maocai exam.

So this time the provincial examination actually met the standards of the postgraduate examination. Generally speaking, if you can pass the examination, you will definitely have the ability to take the postgraduate entrance examination in future generations.

In other words, based on the difficulty of the college entrance examination, students who can pass the examination can generally reach the undergraduate level, or even the 985 or 211 level!

Later generations have experienced more than ten years of examination-oriented education and have tens of millions of talents. But this is the Han Dynasty after all.

Liu Chen established the school only more than ten years ago, less than twenty years.

Scholars like Zhuge Liang who were not from Changshan obviously had less time to receive later education in mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.

For scholars who are not good at mathematics, such a difficult test paper is tantamount to dizziness, like reading a book from heaven. certainly.

There is no doubt about Zhuge Liang's intelligence. This test paper is indeed difficult, but it will not stump him!

First, after taking an overview of the test paper and knowing what he was doing, Zhuge Liang started making secret calculations and stepped into the world of advanced mathematics.

This time, Zhuge Liang no longer wrote the questions without thinking, but made rough calculations in order to achieve the most correct answer.

This is true even for top academics like Zhuge Liang, but it is even more difficult for other candidates!

After the mathematics test papers were handed out, the examinees wailed in the examination room.

Even the onlookers who had not dispersed outside the examination room could hear the mournful screams.

Of course, this is just the appearance of an examination room in Nanyang, Jingzhou.

Looking at the entire world, there are also math monsters in the examination rooms of other states and counties that are taking exams at the same time.

There are even many mathematical geniuses who are more evil than Zhuge Liang.

Mathematics in ancient China is not inferior, and many theorems are even hundreds of thousands of years earlier than those of Guo Jia in the West.

It is a pity that a certain corrupt country in later generations closed the country to the outside world and created a literary prison, and finally ruined thousands of years of Chinese culture.

Even the Chinese civilization, which has always been number one in the world in every dynasty and in every generation, fell behind in this dynasty.

Having said that, many mathematicians and mathematical talents in the Han Dynasty participated in this provincial examination.

This is Liu Chen's purpose, to recruit talents of all kinds.

Even if he is only proficient in mathematics and is very inferior in other aspects, he will make an exception to admit such talents who are partial to subjects. that's all. time flies.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

For those who are good at mathematics, they write like a master and completed the test paper perfectly.

But those math scumbags racked their brains and couldn't figure out a single question, and ended up handing in most of the papers blank.

When the test papers were collected, the sounds of relief from the candidates came from the examination room.

This scene is almost the same as the higher-level mathematics examinations in later generations. The candidates all looked so sad and had raised hairlines.

After a short break, it was the Chinese language test again.

This is the Four Books and Five Classics, a collection of classics, meanings and theories.

Putting them all into one subject, it can be seen that Liu Chen did not want the pattern of selecting scholars through eight-legged essays in later generations.

It is more about mathematics, physics, chemistry and other knowledge that can be applied to the world.

Chinese is what all the scholars are good at. They wrote with great skill and quickly filled up the test papers.

They are familiar with poetry and books, and they are familiar with this kind of poems.

Then came astronomy, geography... the day's exam time passed like this. The scholars who had been sitting in the examination room for a whole day could finally leave the examination room.

In addition to the later examinations, as well as the previous selection examinations and provincial examinations, the scholars could go home to rest and sleep after one day of examinations.

After the scholars swarmed out and left the examination room. Friends and family members waiting outside immediately came forward to ask how the exam went.

The result is that everyone shakes his head and sighs, and the difficulty increases exponentially!

Even Zhuge Liang's always confident look looked a little exhausted. Apparently the test questions were too difficult, squeezing his brain power.

After many friends gathered together, this time they did not go to the restaurant to celebrate in a calm manner, but went back to their respective homes to review their studies.

The heavy atmosphere exuded by these Maocai candidates also made everyone understand the difficulty of this provincial examination.

This scene appeared in front of the examination rooms in every state and county in the world.

The next few days.

The atmosphere in the examination room, the hellish difficulty of the test papers, the wailing of the candidates, and the heavy breath leaving the examination room are all enough to prove the difficulty of this provincial examination!

Even above domestic affairs and military affairs.

Candidates were also asked how to govern the country, how to govern counties and counties, how to deal with people's problems, how to build and develop, and how to deal with emergencies such asSolve and so on.

If they succeed in the examination, they will be qualified to serve as officials. Therefore, the requirements for candidates’ practical operations and theoretical knowledge are extremely high.

Even if it is just talking on paper, the candidates must talk in a romantic and realistic way.

Because these people are the reserves of officials.

These test papers will be reviewed by officials. They are all officials who have experienced hundreds of battles and have practical operations.

Naturally, you can tell whether it is a general statement or whether it is really someone with a world-wide mind and extraordinary intelligence!

Military aspects.

They even created a simulated battle and let the scholars choose how to break the situation.

Or in a siege battle, how to disintegrate the enemy's interior and successfully invade, and how to minimize casualties.

There are also various battle assessments.

For a mediocre candidate, this is tantamount to a disaster. An exam disaster that left them dizzy and unable to start.

But for scholars like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who are extremely talented, resourceful and top-notch in internal affairs.

These exam contents are tantamount to giving them a way to perform!

Liu Chen's settings above the rural examination are all about domestic development and construction issues, and some issues are contradictory.

Most of them have been solved.

Let these candidates express their opinions just to see how far they can achieve it.

It is better to draw inferences from one example. Or worse, there is no governance ability at all. Or maybe the performance is quite satisfactory.

This is an extremely important bonus for subsequent exams.

Of course, these candidates didn't know this. time flies.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

This provincial examination came to a perfect end amidst the sighs of the candidates!

Next is the day of struggle for the marking examiner!

"It seems that the decree is not exaggerated, and you can enter the official career if you win the election."

After Zhuge Liang gathered with many friends, he felt a little emotional:"There are many domestic policies and many military battles on the test paper.

They are all a great test of a scholar's experience, adaptability, and ability to deal with various problems. This is an assessment before we take action."

Everyone nodded.

Pang Tong sighed and said,"I should have failed in this exam. It’s so difficult!

It is simply a fantasy that we are allowed to invent and create on the spot!"

Everyone sighed again.

Shi Guangyuan comforted him and said,"Brother Shiyuan, you should think so! The test questions are difficult and everyone fails. As long as you are better than others, aren't you still ahead?"

"Right!"Pang Tong nodded.

Everyone laughed in joy.

"Kong Ming, looking at your expression, you seem to have a plan in mind! Cui Zhouping asked curiously.

After everyone's eyes exchanged, Zhuge Liang chuckled and said:"Liang is not talented. I had an idea in my mind and set up a bridge."……"

The function of the bridge-building gun is to allow soldiers to quickly build a bridge when crossing a river. It is a kind of bridge-building vehicle.

After listening to this, everyone was filled with emotion

"As expected of Kong Ming!"

"Kong Ming was very good at thinking about such military inventions. As expected, nothing could trouble Kong Ming!"

"It seems that Kong Ming is going to take the top spot again!

Regarding the compliments from his friends, Zhuge Liang did not get carried away, but solemnly said:"This provincial examination is extremely difficult. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close to the perfect score."

There are many talented people in the Han Dynasty. If someone scores higher than me, he will miss me in the provincial examination."

The first place in the provincial examination is Jieyuan, the second place is Yayuan, the third, fourth and fifth place is Jingkui, and the sixth place is Yakui.

This aroused the competitive spirit of scholars across the country.

Of course.

If there is a tie First, there will be many Jieyuan.

But judging from the difficulty of this test paper, if you can get full marks, you will probably become famous all over the world!

Even the Emperor of Han will take such talents seriously!

Zhuge Liang It’s unimaginable.

Several friends walked and chatted, and then went to the restaurant to celebrate the end of the exam.

They didn’t dare to relax during the exam, but now they can finally do whatever they want after it’s over.

……

The rural examination papers were quickly reviewed among hundreds of grading examiners.

For those who have standard answers, or formatted answers, let those celebrities mark the papers.

As for those questions that do not have standard answers and require candidates to express themselves freely, great Confucians and various scholars will be asked to come over and mark the papers.

Take the mathematics test paper for example. One of the examiners this time, Liu Hong, was a famous mathematician, astronomer and calculator in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Hong is the inventor of the abacus, the discoverer of the theory of uneven motion of the moon, and a true mathematician, Taishan Beidou.

Thanks to the convenience of communication pigeons, questions like those about correct and incorrect questionsWhen examiners have difficulty making a decision, they will send letters to mathematicians like Liu Hong to inquire.

Ensure that the final results are fair, just and accurate, and that candidates will not miss a single point!

This also made Liu Hong discover a lot of mathematical talents, which made him happy and felt that he had a successor!

It was under this method of grading, and with the efforts of thousands of grading examiners, that it took a month to mark all the test papers for more than three million candidates.

There will naturally be some controversial papers in the final results.

This type of test paper is usually owned by monstrous candidates who are top academics, and the result of the controversy is nothing more than some free-response questions.

For example, freedom of expression in domestic affairs and military matters.

This type of topic is not something that ordinary Confucians and scholars can participate in. Because it is beyond their understanding and ability.

Over the top!

For this reason, when the examiners asked Liu Chen for his opinion, he directly waved his hand and dismissed Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu and other heavyweights who were top in resourcefulness, top in internal affairs, and also at the top of the Han officialdom.

Regarding Liu Chen, the Han Emperor's order, even as the Third Duke, they had no choice but to accept it.

Grading in the midst of a busy schedule

"This test paper is interesting! The invention of the bridge-building gun can be applied to marches. In the future, it will be more convenient for soldiers to build bridges and pave roads."

Guo Jia was a little surprised.

Xun You came over and was a little surprised when he noticed the handwriting:"I just read this person's military volume. He is a genius!"

"really? Guo Jia was a little curious,"Let me see!""

Xun You handed over the unknown military paper, and Guo Jia also handed over the architectural paper.

Although there was no name, from the handwriting, details, habits, etc., they could definitely deduce that the two papers belonged to the same person. done

"What a genius!"

Guo Jia looked at the other party's views, detailed explanations, strategies on certain military aspects, comments on certain battles, self-strategy, etc., and was amazed.

Xun You was also shocked by the bridging gun.

"I don’t know the name of such a genius."Guo Jia subconsciously wanted to remove the name, but was stopped by Xun Yu.

Xun Yu, a moral gentleman, would measure himself by extremely high standards in every word and deed.

Revealing the name in advance would cause controversy. , he will naturally not agree

"Okay Wenruo, I’m just saying."

Guo Jia said with a smile, and quickly thought of a countermeasure:"It's not that there is no way to know, full marks for the military paper.

All the scores for each subject in this provincial examination are displayed. We will know it by then, and we don’t need to bother my subordinates to pay special attention."

"Not only does it have perfect military scores, but its architecture also has the original Mohist style!"After Xun You read the architecture volume, he was amazed:"Isn't he a descendant of the public loser?"

"This person's internal affairs paper also got full marks!"Xun Yu glanced at the two test papers from the corner of his eye and said calmly.

But these words exploded like thunder on the ground, making Guo Jia and Xun You look a little shocked!

They are the three men who followed Liu Chen in the southern expedition. During the Northern War, they had long been accustomed to strong winds and waves, and there were not many things that could make them lose their composure. The gunpowder test at the time was counted as one, but it happened again this time!

Because a scholar who was versatile in military, internal affairs, construction and invention caused their Guo

Jiaxun You is good at military strategy, and Xun Yu is good at internal affairs coordination.

Of course, it is not that they are not good at other things, but they are the most proficient experts in this area.

It is conceivable that they can get full marks on the test paper. This person's intelligence, strategy, and internal affairs strategies are so amazing!

"There are fifteen subjects in the provincial examination, and with perfect scores in these three subjects alone, we will know who this person is after the results are announced!"

"exactly!"
