After all, there were only more than [-] exam papers, and under the joint review of the teachers of the county school, the results of this gentry exam were quickly obtained.

The exam rankings were first presented to Jiang Shu's desk.

He was not surprised to see that among the 54 people, only three were qualified and one was excellent. For these gentry, the questions in this test paper are indeed a bit off the mark.

Surprisingly, the scholar who passed the exam was able to score 160 points, which is quite a good result when he was unprepared.

The nobleman's name was Li You, and he was from Xunyang, Yanqiao County.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Shu checked his information, and found out that this person had a cousin who was an official in the state capital's thief Cao.

If he had been instructed by this cousin before the exam, then it is not surprising that this person can achieve this result.

He didn't think there was any factor of cheating in it. From the writing of the test papers to the printing, the teachers of the county school were all locked in the school. Not only were these teachers surrounded by officers and soldiers, there were also heavy guards outside the school, with layers of checks Next, the test questions are difficult to disclose.

It can only be said that Li You's luck is relatively good, and he has a brother who is an official in the state capital.

As a child of an aristocratic family, everyone has their own channels for obtaining resources. Since the results are obtained by his own strength, there is nothing unfair about it.

After that, Jiang Shu asked Qin Shang to arrange suitable official positions for the four scholars who passed the examination.

Two of them remained in the Miryang Prefecture as officials, and two were sent to serve in nearby counties and counties. As for the others, those who failed the exam naturally let them go back to their respective homes.

For the sake of the face of these gentry, the test results were not published, but only sent to send the transcripts privately.

Wang Xing was not surprised when he learned from the officials that he had failed the examination. He answered the questions himself, and he had the best idea of ​​how he did in the examination. At most, he was a little frustrated. His plan to stay in Miryang as an official fell through. .

Just as he was holding the test paper and report card in a low mood, and was about to return to the yard, the two people suddenly complained of dissatisfaction from the No. 27 mansion opposite.

"It's a shame! I waited all the way to come here just to do this bizarre paper?"

"I asked the official, only four people passed this assessment, and the rest of them are all in vain."

"Oh, I see, Governor Jiang is deliberately making things difficult for us!"

Wang Xing glanced at the official surnamed Zhang in embarrassment.

The officials of the state capital heard the bad things about the governor. These two people are really unlucky.

Zhang Lu's attitude was quite kind at first, but he couldn't help frowning deeply when he heard this.

At this time, the two people who were talking to each other happened to step out of the door, so he went straight up and stood in front of the steps and asked, "Why are you dissatisfied with the envoy?"

The two scholars talked behind their backs about the assassin being arrested, and they blushed for a while, feeling uneasy.

One of the scholars surnamed Qian Mingshan hurriedly said: "I have no complaints against the envoy, but the content on the examination paper is really puzzling. I came from a long way and learned that I have not passed the examination, so I will inevitably feel depressed. .”

After all, the two people on the opposite side are descendants of aristocratic families, and Zhang Lu didn't want to make too much trouble with them. Hearing this, he stepped down a step and said in a calm tone, "If that's the case, the two of you really misunderstood the king. This examination paper is already The difficulty has been lowered, in previous years, the county school graduation exams had much more difficult questions."

"really?"

The two were a little hesitant. As we all know, the graduation examination of the county school is just an examination for the selection of officials by a group of common people and poor people. In their eyes, these low-status people are representatives of ignorance.

"If you don't believe me, you can stay in the city for a while. The county school graduation exam is coming soon. When the exam is over, the top paper will be posted when the ranking is released. Then you can go to the gate of the government office to see if you have any Show mercy to gentlemen."

When the two of them heard this, their faces turned red and then pale, and they both felt that they had been humiliated for no reason.

Since the official dared to say that, it means that the paper they made is very likely to have been leaked.

On the opposite side, Wang Xing, who had watched the lively scene, heard about this, and couldn't help being curious.

Originally, he was going to accompany his younger brother to live here until the start of school in the Shiguan. Out of the desire to find out, he planned to go to the gate of the government to see how difficult the so-called county school graduation paper was.

·

January is fleeting, and when the hot summer comes again, it will be the time for the annual county school graduation examination results to be announced.

On that day, in addition to the candidates from the county school, there were also some brightly dressed gentry children who came to see the results.

They are not interested in the ranking of the exam, they are mainly concerned about the top paper in each subject posted next to the red list.

Although he was prepared in his heart, Wang Xing was still shocked when he saw the questions on those examination papers.

Among the several subjects, the only thing he is familiar with is the classics and history papers. However, he has never seen any choice and fill-in-the-blank questions in them. The content involved in the test is even more varied. Understand, let alone solve the problem.

Looking at it, cold sweat flowed down the sideburns.

Posted on the wall is the top paper, and the correct rate of the top is naturally very high.

Thinking of these difficult problems that he couldn't even understand, someone could easily answer them, and a fear of falling behind and being abandoned by the times swept through his heart.

The most shameful thing is that these people who have left him far away are still the poor and common people that he looked down on in the past, those common people whose every move exudes a body odor called dullness!

Thinking of this, Wang Xing's heart suddenly constricted.

He turned his head and looked to the side, and found that other people also had serious expressions on their faces.

They, a group of glamorous scholars, are like living in two worlds with the jubilant candidates of the county school not far away.

During the silence, the scholar surnamed Qian who lived opposite him suddenly said: "These test questions don't make sense at all. The selection of officials should pay attention to character, family background, talent and knowledge. Ruo Jiang Shijun's criteria for judging officials are only these few points. A paper, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if the official doesn't do it."

After the words fell, no one echoed, and everyone remained strangely silent.

Wang Xing couldn't help feeling embarrassed for him.

Not wanting to stay in this suffocating atmosphere any longer, he said goodbye and left the scene in a hurry.

On the way back, Wang Xing felt restless. Every time he heard passers-by discussing the county school graduation exam, he would think of a large group of people who were surpassing him invisibly.

He failed the official selection assessment this time. If he continues to be content with the status quo, he will definitely not be able to compete with those latecomers in the future. Then sooner or later, he and his family will be abandoned, and his descendants will eventually be reduced to At this moment, the poor family he looked down upon.

Holding such a sad mood, Wang Xing frowned and went back to the Luming Mansion, and then got another bad news from the guard.

——The exam is over, and these foreign visitors can no longer live here for free, they must move out as soon as possible, or pay rent.

Paying some rent is nothing to Wang Xing. He is a son of a noble family anyway, so he can't afford to pay for the accommodation, but this matter has added more urgency to his already anxious nerves.

He can no longer just stay in Miryang with nothing to do, sooner or later his money will run out, he must find something for himself to do.

After returning to the residence, Wang Xing saw his younger brother who was sitting in front of the desk and was seriously studying the essay. Finally, he clenched his fists and made a difficult decision.

This year, he will sign up for the County School of Classics.

Qingzhou, Miankou County, Jiumi County.

At noon, Cao Wo raised the corners of his mouth and walked across the deck in a happy mood.

His gaze first glanced at the two large ships on the left, and then at the golden sea shrouded by the sun in the distance, his heart was full of excitement and anticipation.

In half an hour, their fleet will set sail for the sea, looking for a strange island.

Since coming here two months ago, Cao Wo has successfully passed the interview and training and has become a qualified crew member.

During this period, he saw with his own eyes that these three merchant ships were drastically remodeled by those bigwigs in the shipyard, replacing old planks, changing ship types, installing watertight compartments, large iron rudders, and new masts and sails.

Today, these three old merchant ships, which originally looked very old, have taken on a new look and become new ships with more rigorous structures.

Although I have also been a crew member in reality, the feeling of a modern steel ship and a wooden sailboat in this game is different after all.

Whenever I see the white sails open, Caowo feels the sea breeze, and walks on the wooden deck, I feel as if I am an adventurous navigator.

He wasn't alone in feeling this way.

During the crew training, Cao Wo met his old friend Cheng Yijian. This old captain who has been sailing ships for more than ten years in reality, when he knew that he was about to command the sailing of a wooden sailing fleet, he was also very emotional. Have a different kind of exciting freshness.

As far as Cao Wo knows, their fleet is mainly composed of three parts, one is the crew in charge of navigation, the other is the geological survey team, and the second is the soldiers who protect everyone's safety, most of them are players, and there are also a few It's an NPC.

Cao Wo is just an ordinary crew member, and he doesn't understand their real purpose of looking for that strange island. Anyway, he just needs to enjoy this sailing mission.

Half an hour later, everything was ready and the fleet officially set sail.

With the release of the cables, the sailboat gradually left the anchorage with the joint efforts of the towing boat and the oarsmen, and Cao Wo and other crew members pulled up the high sail.

Suddenly a strong sea wind came, and the helmsman manipulated the rudder neatly according to the wind direction, and finally the galleon sailed slowly to the sea surface by the force of the wind.

For a moment, the players on the ship looked at the port that was gradually moving away, and shouted excitedly one by one. I don't know who started to sing first, and then the whole ship was full of high-spirited and messy singing.

"Oh~ Goodbye Mom, I'm going on a long voyage tonight~"

"Goodbye my friend, goodbye my friend, goodbye my friend, goodbye, goodbye..."

"Near, far, wherever you are..."

"Fuck, who the hell is humming the theme song of the Titanic, shut up, it's too unlucky!"

Amidst the uproar, the three galleons set sail smoothly and headed for the distant sea.

On the pier, watching the sailboat gradually shrink into a black spot in the silver light, Rong Yuesen and his wife, who were in charge of the transformation of the three large ships, showed gratified smiles.

"I hope they can return home smoothly."
