This test question is too difficult!
Yesterday's test questions can be answered freely with the brain, but today's test questions must be answered with personal experience.
Now that this question is placed in front of the candidates, it is to test their ability to actually solve the problem, rather than just talk about it.
It's just that not only have I never encountered this, but I have never thought of it even if I thought about it.
Zhang Ding sat on it and carefully looked at the candidates in front of him.
This is a picture of all living beings.
They were biting the penholder, looking at the roof, frowning, or pressing their foreheads.
One candidate even unknowingly got his hat crooked and had to carefully straighten his clothes.
The imperial examination may not encounter such difficulties. After all, they are all high-ranking officials.
They can arrange for others to do it, and then recite the poems themselves.
Such a magistrate may appear to be in control of a county, but in fact he has long been ignored.
Because he doesn't know how to solve the problem and he doesn't want to solve the problem.
As a result, he delegates the power to solve problems to his subordinates and feels relaxed.
In fact, contrary to his apparent elation, he was being ignored without knowing it.
This is the kind of person who helps count the money after being sold.
Zhao Ping's uncle can also be included, he is just a nerd.
Fortunately, he has a very reliable nephew who blocks all these adverse effects on him.
In fact, it was the uncle who was supposed to protect the nephew, but now it's reversed, with the nephew protecting the uncle.
But now the officials who take exams deal directly with the people and must solve practical problems.
Zhang Ding looked at these candidates with great interest and found that only 10% of the candidates started writing after thinking for a while.
The other candidates were still frowning and thinking, as if they had no idea what to do.
By the end of the exam, at least half of the candidates did not take action at all.
In addition, 30% of candidates did not finish the exam in a hurry until the exam was almost over.
After the exam, at least most of the candidates suddenly changed from the high spirits in the morning to the wilting energy of autumn frost-beaten eggplants.
Although they saw the delicious food in front of them, it was as tasteless as chewing a candle.
They still rest for half an hour after meals, but most of these people can't rest at all.
They were either immersed in the morning and couldn't help themselves, or they were full of expectations for the afternoon exam.
At any time, a gong sounded, and it was time for the afternoon exam.
The candidates couldn't wait to open the test papers, but when they opened the test papers, they closed them again.
If you haven't done the third question yet, you don't have to do the fourth question at all.
Because the fourth one is actually the continuation of the third livelihood.
After resolving the dispute between the two parties, they were required to write an official document for submission.
These test questions of Zhao Ping involve all aspects of theoretical cultivation, practice and official document writing, and they take a total of two days.
The two-day exam was finally over, and many candidates came out to inquire about each other's news.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, he expected that he had failed the exam just like himself.
What used to be a competitive relationship between peers has now turned into one of mutual comfort.
Some students showed pain on their faces, and even sighed: "The Jintang County exam is not the junior official exam, it is simply more difficult than the Jinshi exam."
The Jinshi exam may cover the previous content, but Zhao Ping also added more emphasis on the Jinshi exam questions.
Not only do they have scripture meanings and poems, but they also have to solve specific problems and write official documents.
There are also cases where one's name is obscured, and even if you want to, you can't do it.
Zhang Neng's brother had no big problems with the first two questions, but he got stuck on the third question. He couldn't answer the third question, so naturally he couldn't make do with the fourth question.
As the eldest son of the family, Zhang Neng naturally encountered a water dispute between two families and knew how to resolve it.
He proposed that irrigation should be based on the size of the two families' fields, which should be a solution that satisfies both parties.
After Zhang Neng came out, not only did he find his brother looking depressed, but many candidates also looked depressed.
Most of them are due to encountering a roadblock in the third question, which makes the answer to the fourth question unsatisfactory.
Four days later, the Jintang County Red List announced the results of the written examination, with a total of 800 people;
Among them, Zhang Neng ranked first; the second place was a candidate from Xi County named Tang Cail; the third place was a candidate from Changyuan County named Cheng Liang.
One of Zhang Neng’s three brothers failed the exam.
He was not depressed because the "Da Song China News" published another recruitment announcement.
Zhao's more than ten workshops also recruit a large number of clerks, and their salaries are similar to those of Jintang County scholars. They also have medical housing and pension insurance, which makes people wonder whether this system is in the hands of two people.
What makes the Zhang brothers happy is that although one of them failed to pass the examination, this result is also an important credential for Zhao's workshop recruitment.
That is to say, although it is only one test, it has two effects.
It just happened that Zhao's workshop also had interviews, which made people even more curious and happy.
Three days later, the talent interview in Jintang County, which attracted worldwide attention, officially began.
The interview examiners include chief secretary Zhao Ping, county magistrate Li Yueqiu, county magistrate Liu Ang, school professor Zhang Ding, casual officials Wang Wenxiu, Zhang Gu, Wang Wende, Li Zhihao, etc. There is also an elder from Jintang County named Dongfang Qiuzui.
These are all literati with at least a literary name above Juren, and they naturally represent Jintang County Wenlin.
Liu Ang was very depressed. He was originally going to watch a joke, but when he saw Zhao Ping's test questions, his heart suddenly became cold.
The content of this test question is not a question asked by a child. It is completely a question asked by a veteran in officialdom.
Even if he comes up with the question, he may not think of it so thoughtfully and comprehensively.
It is said that after reading this test question, Qin Yulong, the prefect of Chengdu, and Zhu Wenbing, the remaining envoy and governor, couldn't help but nod and smile, and praised the good deeds.
When Liu Ang thought about this, he didn't understand anything about interviews.
Since ancient times, there have only been written examinations. Where can there be interviews? What effect can interviews have?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a sneer on his face.
The interview time finally arrived, and candidates were interviewed in order of their written test scores.
As the examiner, Li Yueqiu asked three questions to Zhang Neng, who came first in the written examination: "First, introduce yourself."
This is easy to handle!
"Secondly, when dealing with ordinary people, many people think that things are cumbersome and complicated, so they say that as long as the big things are done well, small things can be delayed if they can be delayed. What do the candidates think?"
This is not easy to answer.
"Third, the magistrate sent someone to Jintang County for an inspection. The magistrate arranged for you to write information at night, but you encountered a serious traffic jam on the way here. What should you do?"
The third is more difficult to answer!
After hearing these three questions, even Liu Ang, an old official in the officialdom, couldn't easily cover everything, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkled.
He tried to answer it himself, but except for the first and second questions, it was also difficult for him to answer the third question.
Zhang Neng's self-introduction was pretty good. After all, he was the eldest son of the family.
The second one is from the perspective of the family, proving the importance of doing both big and small things together.
He didn't find a specific solution to the third question. He just had an idea and talked nonsense without getting to the point.
The examiners did not look at each other and showed no expressions. They marked the scores of A, B, C and D on their evaluation forms, then asked him to sign his interview answer sheet for confirmation, and then replaced him with a Chengdu candidate.
The candidate named Tang Kui from Xixian County stuttered in answering questions and his thinking was not very clear, making even the examiner shake his head.
It was obvious that he came from a poor family and had very little training in this field at home. He spent most of his energy on studying, and his answers to the three interview questions were average.
The third place’s answer was eye-catching. It was indeed worthy of being called Cheng Liang.
Not only did he answer the first two questions well, but he also came up with a solution for the third question.
That is to rent a fast horse and send someone to report to the county magistrate and notify colleagues to be ready, and at the same time rent another horse to rush back to do the work as soon as possible.
Wang Wenxiu nodded, and then suddenly asked a question, "Why do you want to rent horses?"
The man named Cheng Liang saluted and replied: "The student drove from Changyuan County to Jintang County by renting a horse."
It turned out that this candidate was from Changyuan County in Changzhou, which was close to Chongqing. He had to use horses to take the exam.
Several examiners looked at each other and then nodded.
Finally, his uncle announced his resignation and asked him to summon the next candidate after answering and signing his own interview questions.
Three days later, the exciting moment finally arrived for the top 800 candidates in the written examination.
The comprehensive results of Jintang County's first exam have passed the red list.
This sensational news in Jintang County and Chengdu immediately attracted all the attention. What was the final result?
The paper test is very strict, but will the interview be fake?
People in Jintang County and Chengdu Prefecture can't help but talk about what positions they will eventually get.
Amid the attention of candidates and all walks of life, the interview and comprehensive results were finally announced with the red list.
The first place in the comprehensive score was Cheng Liang, a scribe from Changyuan County, who came third in the written examination, the second place was Zhang Neng, a local scribe from Jintang County, and the third place was Tang Cui, a scribe from Xi County.
Obviously, the top three represent different places, one is from Jintang County, one is from Xi County, and the other is from Changyuan County.
Although they are not among the top three candidates, it is still an honor, because all the top three candidates are from Sichuan, not Chengdu Prefecture, nor Jintang County.
Zhao Ping did not expect that the exam in this small Jintang County would have such a big impact. Later, someone even compared the exam to a small provincial exam.
Although it cannot be compared with the real similar examination, it at least represents Sichuan literati to a certain extent.
As the old saying goes, the greater the impact, the greater the risk.
Since the greater the impact, the greater the weight in the students' hearts, and they will take this exam more seriously.
Some students raised objections to Zhang Ding, a professor at Xiwan School in Jintang County, saying that the exam and interview were fake.
The reason was that most of the interview examiners were from Changyuan County, and the first person admitted was Cheng Liang from Changyuan County.
They did not leave Jintang County for a while, but found Zhang Ding every day to protest.
They didn't dare to go to Zhao Ping because Zhao Ping's prestige was too high. Instead, they went to Zhang Ding.
