Chapter 198 The Number Of People Admitted To The Government Examination Is Four Levels Lower Than Th
Chapter 198 The number of people admitted to the government examination is four levels lower than the previous year! Ye Xuan has done all kinds of bad things!
Ministry of Rites.
The candlelight inside the lantern illuminates the ink paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds on the walls of the lantern, and the dim candlelight illuminates the dim corners of the room.
The candlelight flickered, and the scent of paper and ink filled the tip of my nose.
This year's Ministry of Rites imperial examination examiners are sitting in their respective seats and busy.
Inside.
Behind the desk surrounded by books on three sides, Ye Xuan is busy.
The brush flew across the paper.
Dark ink fell on the white paper.
The pure white paper was stained with black words.
Each stroke is vigorous and powerful.
Penetrating the paper backing.
After finishing the last stroke, Ye Xuan put down the brush, picked up both sides of the paper with two fingers of his hands, and blew on the ink that had not yet dried on it.
"Print and distribute several copies of the answers to this government examination and then distribute them to examiners in various states and counties."
Ye Xuan ordered the examiners from the Ministry of Rites.
"yes."
The examiners from the Ministry of Etiquette began to get busy.
Answers to the exam questions were printed out one after another.
They were not curious about the answer.
Because I know these allusions.
You will know the answer.
"Is the question this time a little biased?"
Holding the dial with the words arranged, a certain Ministry of Etiquette examiner who was printing ink suddenly said.
"I think so."
"The topic this time is a bit biased."
"The candidates may not know the answer."
840 "And these test questions are too difficult."
"Not suitable as a government examination question."
"I'm afraid that this government examination will definitely screen out most of the students."
The examiners from the Ministry of Etiquette kept printing in their hands, with worries on their faces.
"Master Ye's exam questions are so difficult."
"After this imperial examination, how many people can pass the final imperial examination?"
"I'm afraid not all of them will be screened out."
"If this is the case, will Mr. Ye and us be held accountable?"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"If we select useful talents based on the difficulty of Mr. Ye's test questions."
"I'm afraid no one can pass the examination, right?"
"If this is really the case, the Emperor will definitely be furious."
"How about we ask Mr. Ye to make the next test questions easier?"
"Bitix."
"Let's talk about it after this government examination is over."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"Get to work quickly."
Yang Qianzhi interrupted everyone's discussion.
"yes!"
The examiners from the Ministry of Rites responded in unison.
Then the answers continued to be printed.
Swish, swish, swish.
Answers were printed one by one.
Examiners from the Ministry of Etiquette worked overtime to print the answers to these test questions. After the answers were printed, they needed to be packaged and sealed, sealed into small long wooden boxes, and then handed over to the courier.
The courier will work hard, traveling to multiple stations and delivering the answers to the exam questions to the officials in various prefectures and counties.
All state and county officials are busy at this time.
After the examination papers are collected, the candidates' examination is over, but their work has just begun.
After the invigilator collects the papers.
The paper will be handed over to you for appointment.
The responsibility of the sealing officer is to fold all the candidates' names, place of origin and other personal information on the answer sheet.
Cover the seal with blank paper.
Stamp the saddle seal.
This procedure is called "name obfuscation"
It is similar to the modern college entrance examination binding and sealing.
The examiners had no idea whose test paper they were looking at.
To ensure the fairness of the marking personnel.
Not biased.
The method of "taking the exams with unknown names" was a method adopted during the Taizong period of the Song Dynasty to "remove the disadvantages of examiners hiding in private".
It was proposed by the supervisor, Chen Jing.
This method was used by subsequent dynasties.
Even the modern college entrance examination uses a similar method.
After the test paper is "named", the second step is to record it by a dedicated person.
Generally, Dong copied the imperial examination papers.
Examiners mark papers based on copied copies.
This prevents the examiner from identifying the candidate's handwriting.
This practice is called "Yi Shu".
The emergence of Yulu has pushed the examination paper to its peak.
In order to prevent fraud by Yulu.
According to official regulations, transcribers are not allowed to carry pen and ink without permission, and the amount of paper used, the color of ink, etc. must be the same for all transcripts.
All examination papers shall be recorded using a cinnabar red pen.
Because the candidate's Yuanshi test paper is written in black ink.
That’s why it’s called “ink scroll.”
The papers after the recording are all written with red pen.
Therefore, it is called "Zhu Juan".
This method of recording records was promoted by Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, and he ordered the establishment of the Recording Academy.
This is why Song Zhenzong will promote Yulu.
This is because even if the test papers are anonymous and sealed.
In the case of official corruption.
There are still unscrupulous examiners who act boldly.
Cheating by identifying candidates' handwriting.
That's why Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty would use special personnel to record the records.
In this way, those examiners who want to cheat cannot identify the candidates through their handwriting, thus cheating.
The third process is layer-by-layer review.
After the transcription is completed.
There are also readings.
"Reading" is today's proofreading.
The reading officer will hand over the ink scroll and ink scroll to several reading students for proofreading.
Check whether there are any errors in the transcription.
After all the answers are correct, the reading officer will stamp the test paper.
Next comes the actual marking process.
The test papers will be distributed by the "adduction officer" to each marking staff for review.
When the test papers are distributed, they will be supervised by the chief examiner and co-examiner (deputy examiner) and assigned by drawing lots.
The marking staff had no idea whose paper they were correcting.
After they review the test paper.
If you like it.
They will be recommended to fellow examiners.
This is called "recommended volume".
As for whether the examiner selects this paper, it all depends on the examiner's personal preference.
If he likes it.
The word "take" will be marked in the test paper.
The same examiner selected the test paper.
It does not mean that the candidate passed the exam.
The test papers must also be handed over to the examiner.
If the examiner also likes this test paper, he will mark it with the word "Illustration Master" on the test paper.
Zhong means satisfied.
It also means hitting the list.
This candidate's fate was finally decided.
The fourth procedure is to review the examination papers.
The marking process is very cumbersome.
The examiner's subjective factors will affect the candidate's performance.
For example, examiners' malfeasance and irresponsibility will lead to the failure of some talented candidates.
For this reason, some responsible examiners will randomly check the "unsuccessful" papers.
The examiner will also make every effort to review the recommended papers that have not been taken by the same examiner for review.
In addition, after the results are released, if the candidates are dissatisfied with their failure, they will be allowed to receive incense sticks.
This method can effectively supervise the marking personnel.
Because if an excellent paper is evaluated poorly.
Candidates petition.
If the guilt is fulfilled, the person responsible will be punished by the court.
After a series of tedious examinations, the local government office counted the number of people who passed the examination and reported it to the Ministry of Rites.
Government offices in various places have reported the number of people who passed the exams.
The Ministry of Rites received this data.
When officials from the Ministry of Rites saw this data, they were stunned.
"*......"
This is nearly four levels less than the number of people in the previous session.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites saw that the situation was not good.
Quickly report it to Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites.
Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, looked at the statistical list of people who passed the government examination in his hand, and his eyelids jumped.
He felt that it was necessary to report this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The examiner Ye Xuan can be said to have done all kinds of bad things and committed most heinous crimes!
