Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2050

The prince nodded, turned around and wanted to leave. He thought of something, turned back and asked, "how many are Bai Shan now?"

Several examiners looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, the current affairs policy has not been approved, so there is no ranking yet."

"Find out his paper," the prince frowned after pausing, "and transfer Bai Cheng's too."

So we can only work together to find out their papers. Fortunately, they don't paste their names in the exam, and Bai Shan's two papers are set as top for the time being, so it's still very easy to find.

It took Bai Cheng some time.

After reading Bai Shan's scriptures, the prince felt a little dizzy. He simply handed the paper to Kong for a toast. "What do you think of the answer, sir?"

Kong had seen it before offering wine. This time he just looked at it again. He touched his beard with approval and said, "yes, but the current affairs policy is worse, but the name should be in the top ten."

Then someone objected, "he ranked 18 on the general list. The number of people below the top four has been set."

Kong Jijiu thought of it, frowned and said, "after all, the general list is the general list, or should we focus on articles."

"It's mainly articles. Everyone has read their lines. Didn't they agree before? The imperial examination is just a paper, which is only used to judge whether it is biased. In contrast, the line paper can better reflect their talents. "

The prince asked, "didn't Bai Shan do it?"

"Yes," Kong Jijiu said, "everyone makes the list according to their line."

What is the bulletin board?

Before the examination, the examiners went to the society to investigate the candidates' talents and reputation, and then made a list according to the comprehensive consideration of the quality of the papers they cast. This list is called the pass list.

After marking the Jinshi examination papers, the examiners will refer to the general list, and some have already set the top places before even starting the examination.

Therefore, some candidates will spend a lot of money in order to brush their fame. It is less to spend tens of thousands of money.

The crown prince asked to see their current affairs policies in the top ten.

After watching, he picked out two copies and threw them aside. He said calmly, "don't talk about the others. These two talents don't match."

The examiners went to see the two papers. Among them, the doctor of Imperial College who strongly recommended a candidate said, "Your Highness, it's better to see his line paper. He is very talented and his poems and Fu articles are like flowing clouds and flowing water..."

The prince glanced at him and said, "Gu only knows that his article is not even as good as Bai Cheng. This is the Jinshi examination. If you only look at the line paper, what else will you take? Wouldn't it be good to name it directly? "

He sneered and said, "how much water is there in Tongbang? Don't pull it apart and say it? The Jinshi Section is for talent. The only thing we need is people of insight, not just those who have money and fame. "

Kong Jijiu didn't object, and others could only hold it if they didn't accept it.

After the prince had a fit, he turned and left. Kong Jijiu stayed behind and comforted all the examiners with a smile, and then followed him out.

The prince stood outside the courthouse and waited.

After the ceremony, Kong Jijiu sighed, "Your Highness, if you want to take more scholars from poor families, you should cancel the general list and paste the names of the papers. That's fair."

The prince frowned and said, "Guhe mentioned it to his majesty, but his majesty said that the emperor could not set the regular examination for five years, and there was a pause for several years. In recent years, each family often wrote to his majesty to open the system, and each family also had inspection talents to go to Beijing. We will let people eliminate the general list and paste the name again, which may make it more noisy."

The prince himself is not afraid of trouble, but he thinks his father may not like trouble at the moment. In recent years, the emperor has become more and more stable and unwilling to have more disputes.

Kong Jijiu obviously knew this too. He glanced at the prince and nodded slightly. He was persuaded.

He didn't know whether the emperor wanted stability or not, but he knew that the emperor obviously wanted to hand it over to the crown prince. The crown prince would also be powerful at that time.

However, the emperor looked at the peak of spring and autumn, and the crown prince didn't know when he would be able to make a prestige on this matter.

After Kong Jijiu sent the prince out, he went back to continue marking the papers.

The examiner took the paper and asked, "Sir, this paper..."

Kong Jijiu said faintly, "the general list is only a reference, or should we look at this examination paper more."

"But..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Kong took out two papers from the side and put them on the first-class one. He said to him, "these two papers are also good. Let's order them later."

Everyone went to look at the native place and names on the paper and found that they had not heard much about them. They thought for a long time and didn't remember who they were.

I can only reach out and pick up the paper. Well, this paper has an impression. Poetry and Fu are worse, but the classics and current affairs policies are still well written, but they are unknown and I don't know who they are.

I don't know what kind of personal prestige it is.

Everyone wanted to oppose it. Kong Jijiu said, "in the past two years, most of the places in the Jinshi examination have been from the general list, and almost all of the students on the general list are students. Haven't you been selected for the recent two Jinshi examinations? In the long run, I'm afraid it's the discontent of private scholars. "

A doctor of Guozi school objected: "after all, there are a few folk scholars. All scholars of the same age are still many students if they are admitted to County schools, government schools and Guozi prison."

Kong Jijiu shook his head slightly. "Why not eat minced meat? I don't know how many students in the world can't afford official school. They can't be biased because they are not strangers."

"Official schools can be reduced or exempted. Private schools cost more. If you can afford private schools, why can't you afford official schools?"

"Naturally, there are private teachings from father and brother," Kong offered a toast. "Dr. Yan should go to the place more. Since the Jinshi examination has produced the examination paper, it should focus on the examination paper and only evaluate the content of the paper. Are these two papers good? "

So we talked about the quality of the article.

It's really easy to find the fault of an article. The original article has no first place. Some people have the intention to find fault. There are many ways.

After arguing for half a night, we reluctantly agreed to put the two papers first in class A.

It was five days after they finished approving the papers. After five days, they quarreled for five days. Fortunately, Kong Jijiu was very prestigious and could hold people down. They didn't delay marking the papers when they quarreled.

Thirty two Jinshi are scheduled to be selected this year, so obviously bad papers are thrown aside in the bamboo basket, and only a few can be put on the table.

The papers on the table are also divided into two types. The left side is OK and can be taken, and the right side is undetermined.

To be determined, either the test paper is good, or the candidates themselves are very famous. They may be on the general list, with good reputation and line papers.

Finally, we selected 32 of the more than 60 papers left to determine the quality.

After a day's struggle, they finally finalized 36 papers. Kong Jijiu sent the quota and papers to the palace for the emperor to see and choose.
