Summon players, rebuild Dawei

The morning sun shines deeply into the interior of the academy, and falls on the smooth wooden floor through the mullions and clear glass doors and windows, leaving parallel lines of white light.

The chirping of birds can be heard among the branches and leaves of the white elm outside the corridor, and the young people in the hall are chatting with each other and talking endlessly.

Today is the first time that the taxi hall of the county school is opened to the public after its completion. However, it is not used for teaching, but as an examination room for the gentry exams.

Wang Xing took the card with the seat number of the examination room and found his own seat, which was in the second row of the third column.

He sat down in front of the desk, surrounded by people, who greeted him politely when they saw him coming.

However, because Wang Xing was from Yongzhou, most of the people sitting around him were from Xunzhou gentry, and they didn't know each other, so they didn't have any deep conversations.

Wang Xing put the card into his purse, and saw that there was a pen, ink and inkstone on the case, and there was nothing else to do, so he began to grind the ink.

There were chattering voices from the scholars around me, some were guessing the content of today's evaluation, some were discussing the effect of using the new fragrance dew of Qiyan Pavilion, and after everyone finished chatting, most of them would go to the same forum. The topic comes up.

"I don't know when Jiang Shijun will arrive."

"Who knows what the envoy likes?"

"Hey, I don't know, I heard that in order to avoid suspicion, he rejected all the invitations to the envoy."

"This seat arrangement is actually drawn by lottery, which is different from the usual evaluation..."

"I didn't expect my luck to be so good. I won the first row. I hope I can have a good grade this time."

"Compared to rank, I would rather be an official in Miryang."

"That's right, it would be even better if you can clear your assets in Miryang..."

Wang Xing nodded inwardly after hearing the last few words.

For this exam, he didn't have high expectations for himself, he only hoped to stay in Miryang as an official, for no other reason than life here is too comfortable and convenient.

Although he encountered a little trouble when he first moved into the Luming Mansion. That night he was shocked by the strange noises from the next door and couldn't sleep, but since he complained to the guard the next day, there was no more strange The voice came.

Since then, his peaceful and comfortable life in Miryang has officially begun.

After living in this period of time, Wang Xing has become a master of Miyang.

Not only can he skillfully use the red skin to order takeaway, but he also learned to use the stove and briquettes to make tea by himself, and even add milk and sugar to drink freshly brewed milk tea.

His greatest joy every day is to take his brother to wander around, eat interesting restaurants, and discover new gadgets that he has never seen before.

The vegetable market in Dongshi dazzled him, and the snack street in Xishi made him linger. When he was tired from shopping, even if he sat under the colorful awning of the tea stand, drinking tea and reading newspapers and spending the afternoon, he would not feel bored.

In just half a month, Wang Xing has gotten used to the lively, happy and leisurely pace of life here, and he doesn't want to go back to his hometown at all, but living in Miryang requires a bit more capital.

Of course, as frugal and hardworking as ordinary people, he can live a good life here, but it is absolutely impossible for Wang Xing to give up takeaway, food and various entertainment activities.

So he can only hope that he will get a good grade in this assessment, that he can stay in Miryang and get an official position with a good salary.

Just thinking about it, Wang Xing suddenly felt a silence in his ears.

He turned his head with a sense of awareness, and as expected, he saw a young man in a black brocade robe enter the hall surrounded by several officials.

Following the young man's arrival, a team of officers and soldiers carrying unfamiliar weapons followed into the house, and a team of four stood in the four corners of the hall.

They were all tall and burly, with cold and solemn faces, making it difficult to look directly at them.

Needless to say, with such a lineup, the governor must come.

So when Jiang Shu came to the front, everyone stood up and bowed their heads in salute, saying in unison: "Meet the envoy."

The combined voices of more than fifty people were quite loud.

Jiang Shu looked at everyone and said gently: "There is no need to be formal, everyone, please sit down."

Hearing this, the examinees took their seats one after another, staring at the youth in front of them with piercing eyes.

Some of the people here have already visited the state capital in the first month, and some are here for the first time.

Anyone who came here for the first time was surprised to see this legendary figure who rose from no rank to fourth rank in just two years.

Although I knew that Jiang Shishi was young and handsome, and he just won the championship last year, but when I saw it, I couldn't help but feel emotional, feeling why God is so unfair.

At the same age in their twenties, some people are still competing for an official position, while others are already senior officials of the fourth rank. They not only have rich political achievements, but also hold strong military strength and outstanding abilities. Not to mention, his appearance is still so handsome, so perfect that no one can feel jealous.

Just when everyone was feeling sad about the gap between themselves and others, Jiang Shu ordered someone to place a large floor-standing mechanical pendulum clock next to the desk.

He glanced at the clock, it was [-]:[-].

This pendulum clock was made by him two months ago. Not surprisingly, it should be a mechanical pendulum clock in this world.

It's funny to say, because administrators and players can know the precise time through the game panel, so after three years, no one thought of making clocks.

Maybe someone thought of it, but felt that the steps were cumbersome and the materials were expensive, so they didn't do it, so that such an important thing was born in the world until now.

Jiang Shu stood next to the standing clock, and after attracting everyone's attention, he introduced: "This is a pendulum clock, a timing tool. One round of the long hand is one hour, that is, half an hour, and one round of the short hand is ten." Two hours, that is, six o'clock, now it is a quarter past eight, and the exam will officially start in a quarter, so without further ado, the test papers will be distributed first."

After saying that, everyone in the room turned their attention to the precious and precise timing tool.

Some people were so confused about the timing method Jiang Shu said that they couldn't turn their heads, but some people understood it after thinking about it.

In fact, this is equivalent to dividing a disc into four parts. Every time the long needle turns one part, it is a quarter of an hour. After one revolution, it is half an hour, and two revolutions is an hour.

Those sitting in the front row, some who were smart and keen, even understood the meaning of the numbers on the clock dial. However, because they lacked the concept of "minutes", they couldn't express their thoughts for a while, and only felt an inexplicable feeling. Horror shook in my heart.

The discovery that time could be calculated in such detail made them tremble.

Although everyone is very interested in the new timekeeping tool on the table, the main purpose of today is the exam.

When the test paper was handed out by the official in charge of the test, everyone's attention turned to the paper.

"A test paper consists of three sheets, with a total of 120 questions. Each question is 150 points. The total score is [-]. Those with a score of [-] or more are qualified, and those with a score of [-] or more are excellent." After handing out the test papers, the official named Liang Yu announced loudly Precautions, "After getting the test papers, please write your names in the upper left corners of the three test papers, and then you can prepare for the test, grind ink or read the questions.

"At the beginning of the exam, a bell will be rung. When the bell is struck once, it is time to start writing, and when it is struck twice, it is time to stop writing. Before the bell rings, please do not start writing to answer the questions.

"During the exam, if you need blank paper to make a draft, or have other special needs, you can raise your hand.

"The exam will last an hour and a half."

A series of unfamiliar rules came into their ears. Scholars who experienced this kind of occasion for the first time were a little at a loss. While grinding their ink, they flipped through the test papers full of print, with a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.

Because Wang Xing had sharpened the ink in advance, he was quite organized at the moment, followed the instructions and finished writing the name, then put down the pen for a while, calmed down and began to read the questions.

But soon, this calmness was broken by the exam questions in front of him.

[Question 30: The wheat planting area in a certain place is 250 mu. According to the calculation of the yield per mu, [-] million stones of straw will be produced every year. If so much straw is burned, it will cause serious environmental pollution and endanger human health. At the same time, there may be a fire, but if it is not burned, the straw has nowhere to go.

What's your best way to deal with this? 】

Wang Xing was stunned.

He read the title three times in a row, his mind went blank, he knew every word on the paper, but he couldn't read it together.

Who can tell him why such a content is tested in the talent selection exam? Isn't it a test of virtue, ability and learning?What is this wheat straw?What else to do but burn?How does he know what to do with it!

Wang Xing was dumbfounded. He looked up and glanced around, and found that the candidates on both sides were as confused as he was, which made him feel better.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who couldn't answer.

Thinking that maybe the next question would be more normal, he looked at the second question, and was stunned again.

[Question [-]: You are the county magistrate of a certain county in the outskirts of Xunzhou. At the end of the year, your land suffered a severe snowstorm. Houses collapsed, livestock froze to death, and the people lacked clothing and food, and urgently needed assistance.

At this time, as the county magistrate, what countermeasures will you take? 】

Well, at least I can understand the question, so I won't be unable to answer anything.

But he just wants to stay in Miryang and be a leisurely official with more money and less work, who wants to go to the border to be a county magistrate!

Wang Xing frowned, and continued to read the questions. The more he looked, the more painful he was. Every question in this paper refreshed his vision.

Some minor complaints gradually appeared in the examination room, and many candidates showed embarrassment and distorted expressions, and some even wanted to simply give up the examination and walked away.

However, when he looked up and saw that the governor was sitting on it, surrounded by ferocious officers and soldiers, they all gave up their thoughts, for fear that offending the governor would affect the whole family.

When the atmosphere was stagnant, a crisp bell sounded in the hall, and then the official reminded loudly: "The exam is beginning, please write and answer the questions."

In an instant, the examination room became quiet, and everyone picked up their pens and began to answer the questions.

At this time, most of the people present had the same idea: come here, no matter whether the answer is correct or not, let’s write first, if you write more, you will always get it right.

Above, Jiang Shu is also making papers.

Two years ago, he would probably have found it difficult to get this paper, but now, the weather-beaten him handles these tasks very well. After doing it briefly with a pencil, he put down the pen and proofread the reference answers. .

The examination questions of this paper were jointly produced by the teachers of the county school. It can be said that it covers all aspects of knowledge points such as classics, history, arithmetic, law, commerce, agriculture, etc. If any of these scholars can answer this paper With a high score, it is more than enough to arrange a job in the state capital.

After checking the answers, Jiang Shu closed his full-score test paper, thinking that the test paper was good, and he would ask someone to print a few more copies later, so that he could pass the exam once to the state government officials.

It's not good to be content with the status quo, just take this opportunity to spur those officials. If their grades are not up to standard, they have to be given a night shift to make up for their lessons.
