The two young men just laughed indifferently after hearing this.
Ouyang Yongren stopped paying attention to them and turned his head to continue staring at the notice at the door of the government office, not knowing what he was thinking.
In this way, the day of the National Teacher Recruitment Examination finally came under the spotlight.
Xu Mochen took his beloved concubines out of the palace. As a faint king, it is understandable that he often visits privately incognito.
This time the exam was not held in the capital, but there were several nearby counties that were quite popular.
Xu Mochen chose one of them called Hengshui County.
The capital was dozens of miles away from the county seat. The group took a carriage and wandered for a long time before arriving.
As the sphere of influence of the Beijing Circle, the size of this county is actually not small.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, Tang Derun also did some work in advance.
Therefore, the whole county is peaceful, and the houses are not closed at night unless there are no items picked up on the road.
Following Xu Mochen were some human officials from the board of directors and the court.
Immortal cultivators would not pay attention to the emperor, but human officials could not.
It is not a big secret that the emperor is here, they also come to report.
Ever since, a group of inspection teams arrived in great force.
It was just a temporary inspection. Xu Mochen had no plans to stay in the inn here.
There is an academy in Hengshui County that hosted this exam.
"In the provincial capital of Daqianzhou County, there are Gongyuan, and in the townships and counties, there are also large and small academies," Tang Derun led the way while explaining the situation, "In some relatively backward places, the local government has also collected some ancestral halls, etc. The place serves as a test site.”
Xu Mochen said "Yeah": "It's April now, the north is fine, but some areas in the south may have entered the rainy season.
Plagues, epidemic diseases, etc. are likely to occur during this period.
During exams, there will inevitably be a concentration of people, so medical protection must keep up. "
"The princess has already told me," Tang Derun pointed to a corner of the academy, "For example, in Hengshui County, Your Majesty, please see, that place is a temporary medical location.
In response to the occurrence of various situations, the princess released a certain amount of drugs across the country to prepare for emergencies. "
Zhao Lingbo was the first to join his team, and he was also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health. He was particularly concerned about medical care, and Xu Mochen was very satisfied.
"Where's the food?" he continued to ask, "The exam won't be over in one day, so the food and accommodation arrangements before and after must be appropriate."
"This minister handled it personally," Tang Derun began to claim credit, saying that it involved states and counties across the country, and coordination was very difficult. "It's just that the situation is different in different places, the number of candidates and examination venues are different, and it is difficult to coordinate the unified examination time.
However, this time the question was set by His Majesty himself. You also said that you don’t care about leaking the question, so you left a lot of room for me.
Nowadays, most states and counties make arrangements based on their actual conditions. Some may end in one day, and some may take two or three days. "
"Thank you, dear, for your hard work." Xu Mochen was still reassured about Tang Derun's ability. "The Unified Recruitment Examination is held in my name, so be careful about food and accommodation."
As he was talking, Xu Mochen stepped into the academy and saw that the courtyard was dark and crowded with people.
There are students from poor families, students from all walks of life, technical practitioners in various industries, and there are actually some well-dressed students.
"There are actually levels within the gentry," Tang Derun explained. "After all, the threshold for the imperial examination in the capital is very high, so a small number of gentry also come to take the exam."
Xu Mochen doesn't care, he likes to accept everyone who comes.
When the time came, the people organizing the exam over there began to shout and line up to enter.
Feeling inexplicably nervous, those taking the exam whispered.
"I've finally waited for this day, but I just don't know what the test will be about."
"It is said that His Majesty personally came up with the question. It must be some kind of strategy."
"Oh, I said I was just here to join in the fun."
"Is it too late to go back now?"
"Don't be afraid. His Majesty has already said that when selecting talents, you can use them casually."
"If I answer all the questions correctly, I might even be able to enter the court."
"Don't be ridiculous, we are recruiting teachers."
…
As an immortal cultivator, Xu Mochen has very good ears and eyes and can hear everything clearly.
"It's like this before the exam," he introduced excitedly, "I remember when I took the college entrance examination, I went to the toilet several times before the exam."
Tang Derun + Gu Jinge and other people of this generation: "???"
When did the emperor take the exam?
Of course this is just a small episode.
Although these people who took the exam did not have a high level of education, their quality was acceptable.
There was no pushing and rubbing, and soon everyone entered the examination room.
Because the academy is relatively large, there are five examination rooms in total.
In each examination room, there are two invigilators and one person in charge of chores.
The candidates sat down and the invigilator said they could start preparations.
In this era, there were no fountain pens or water-based pens, so writing still relied on pen and ink.
So everyone started to grind their ink.
Another invigilator over there was talking about precautions in the examination room.
The requirements are very simple, no walking around or whispering.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Sir, can you bring a book in?"
The invigilator was stunned. He carefully looked at the rules given by the emperor and shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't say you can't take it."
The group of people suddenly became silent. They had known that they had brought books.
"This is actually an open-book exam," Xu Mochen explained to the people around him. "What I want is not those traditional talents who can write essays. As a teacher, outstanding ability in certain aspects is more important."
Although he now has primary school textbooks, since universal education is launched, he needs to consider textbooks for junior high schools, high schools and even universities.
Of course, there is also an upper limit to the scientific and technological knowledge of the times, and the two are advancing simultaneously.
This small episode did not affect the overall situation. Everyone was well prepared, and the person in charge of the handyman posted the test questions.
After the exam questions came out, the entire academy was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The invigilators who were still talking were all stunned.
The first one to hang up has only five questions.
The first question is to introduce yourself and explain yourself.
Fuck, let me explain, who doesn’t know that those sitting here are all down-and-out students.
What to write, is it more miserable?
Skip it first and look at the second question.
Well, there are trees planted on the roadside, this...
Some who were proficient in arithmetic smiled.
And those who have not been exposed to these, some start counting with their fingers.
This question is not very difficult, and you can barely pass it by just touching your toes.
The third question is, a bag of chicken feathers weighing one pound and one pound of iron are dropped from a nine-story tower at the same time. Who will hit the ground first?
Is this...also considered a question?
Question 4: Describe the methods of making soy sauce, vinegar, wine, etc. You need to briefly explain the reasons.
Forget it, everyone knows how to do it!
Question 5: A nine-story pagoda. Now that I have a cloth ruler and a bamboo pole in my hand, how do I know the height of the nine-story pagoda?
After reading it, the words on the question are not difficult to understand, and most of these students can.
but!
What do they mean when combined together?
Everyone was confused.
