Chapter 401 The candidates are all confused! Is this test question too difficult or too easy?
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, there was a strict limit on the amount of paper provided during the exam.
But since Ye Xuan took over all matters related to the examination, this rule has been in name only.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was a bit wasteful, he didn't feel bad after thinking that this was a matter of selecting talents for the country.
So whether it was Ye Xuan or the other examiners, there was a trace of doubt in their hearts, that is, why these candidates were so cautious.
There are still several days until the end of the exam.
Since ancient times, there have been people who specialize in cheating to make money from this.
Some people from poor families, or who know that they will not be able to attend high school this time, simply use their identity as candidates to enter the examination room first, then answer their own test papers as quickly as possible, and then leave the examination room to reveal the test questions to other cheaters. , allowing them time to write excellent answers and try to bring them back to the cheating examinee.
In this kind of thing, it is difficult for examiners to determine who is the accomplice of the cheater. In addition, most of the time, examiners do not believe that someone will bring the test questions back to the examination room.
Therefore, even if there is such a method, the Ming Dynasty Imperial Examination did not deliberately require a minimum examination time.
But Ye Xuan learned from the experience of later examinations, so he had already advised Zhu Yuanzhang before this examination, hoping that a timeline could be set up to manage the candidates' answering time.
In this way, even if candidates finish all the test papers on the first day, they cannot leave the examination room.
This is to prevent cheating and is also responsible for the candidates. It allows those who are weak or careless to have the opportunity to change their answers or answer again.
With these convenient conditions, it means that they don't need to think so much at all. They only need to answer directly, and then carefully analyze and leave enough time to answer again.
But it turns out that Ye Xuan still underestimated his status in the hearts of the candidates.
Many people wonder whether Ye Xuan's move has a deeper meaning, or whether the so-called convenience and test questions are a trap, but they haven't figured it out yet.
But no matter what kind of thoughts they have in their minds, as time goes by, they can only continue to write.
Xie Jin pondered for a long time, and finally all his thoughts turned into a sigh.
He originally thought that he was very close to Ye Xuan's thinking and could handle any situation.
But now that he actually entered the examination, he realized that he still couldn't really grasp Ye Xuan's ideas.
For example, right now, he has obviously thought of various possibilities, but still none of them can hold up.
He had previously planned to be the first to hand in the paper so that everyone would remember his name.
But now, seeing time passing by, he still has no way to break the situation.
After much hesitation, he finally decided to write the next article.
On the other side, Yang Chun habitually held the penholder with his teeth.
This was a subconscious action on his part, but it also showed that he was beginning to feel uncertain and even overly nervous.
He is different from Xie Jin. He is not a talented player. Otherwise, he would not have been able to be shortlisted in the previous exam and would have to take a make-up exam.
Therefore, he cherished this opportunity more than others. After returning, he studied hard every day and even slept less than two hours a day.
But even so, he still didn't have much confidence in passing the exam.
He had even secretly decided that if he could not go to high school this time, he would go back and rely on his status as a civil servant to get a job as an official. He would first enter the officialdom and then think of other options.
After all, the Ming Dynasty did not say that officials could not continue to take the scientific examination. Even if he took this path, as long as he studied hard, he could still take the examination again after the next year.
But now that the test questions were in front of him, Yang Chun had mixed feelings in his heart.
If this question was written by someone else, he would definitely be very happy and confident of getting a good score.
But the problem is that the person who asked this question is Ye Xuan!
That Ye Xuan who never follows the rules and plays his cards according to the routine!
People like me study hard in Hanchuang so that they can be proud of their ancestors once they reach high school.
But after Ye Xuan became an official, he seemed determined to raise the threshold for becoming an official.
Past exams and various test questions have now become the inner demons of all candidates.
Yang Chun is naturally one of them. As long as anything has anything to do with Ye Xuan, he will instinctively make it complicated.
But after thinking for a long time, he had no clue. Gradually, he could only hope that this was Ye Xuan's conscience discovery, and he finally changed the exam questions and difficulty back to what they should be.
But when it came time to actually start writing, Yang Chun hesitated to do so, fearing that he would waste all the enthusiasm and writing in his heart in the wrong direction.
Just when he was hesitating, Zhao Jing, who had made a bet with Xie Jin before, was smiling now.
Although his character is not very good, his talent and learning are acceptable.
His previous bet with Xie Jin was originally impulsive, but the reason why he insisted on it afterwards was because he felt that Ye Xuan's test questions were difficult, and even if he did not do well, it would not be a shame.
On the contrary, during the examination, he was able to make a bet with Xie Jin, who was famous in Jiangnan. If word spread, it would equal his status to that of Xie Jin.
But when he actually saw the test questions, he was stunned.
Even others have begun to worry and doubt about the second question, while he is still studying Ye Xuan's intentions.
At this moment, he finally figured something out and began to write eloquent answers quickly.
Two days later, there are still three days left until the end of the formal examination.
Finally, some candidates announced that they had handed in their papers, but some were happy and some were sad. Although they were also the first batch of papers to be handed in, some people gave up on improving and thinking directly, while some were full of confidence.
As the gong sounded to indicate that it was time to hand in papers, Xie Jin raised the sign in his hand to indicate that he was about to hand in the circle.
Soon, special people came to the front with scribes and examiners, and collected the test papers and sealed them.
But when handing in the paper, something went wrong with Xie Jin.
Because of his quick thinking and some doubts about Ye Xuan, Xie Jin actually wrote two sets of papers in a limited time. He himself was entangled in which set he should hand in.
After waiting for a long time, Xie Jin finally selected the paper and left the examination room relaxed.
But the situation outside made him feel a chill down his back.
Directly opposite him, the candidates were almost divided into two completely different states. Some felt that they would definitely be in high school this time, while others were full of shame and panic.
Just when he was surprised, Zhao Jing walked out with a smile.
Seeing that Gu Jin was just a little ahead of him, the look of pride on his face became even stronger.
"How is it? I said that you, a great talent, are not much better than me! Could it be that you are also stumped by this test question?"
