The discipline in the examination room was very good, and no one maintained it, but all the candidates remained silent. After the paper was sent, everyone was focused on reading the paper, and no one whispered to each other.

After all, this exam is to see what kind of rankings they have among the scholars in this county, which involves their own interests, so everyone takes it seriously.

Because there were not many people taking the exam, Li Rizhi directly sent someone to print the paper.

However, the papers printed this time are different from those in the Ming and Qing dynasties. They first print all the questions on one piece of paper and then send them to the candidates. When answering the questions, the candidates answered them on another paper.

Because there are not many candidates, and this is not a major test, there is no need to be afraid of missing questions, so how can it be faster and how can it be convenient for candidates? Li Rizhi came here.

The exam time is one and a half hours, and there is an hourglass time. When the hourglass comes, the paper must be handed in.

The questions in the first exam in the morning were relatively simple. Basically, they were all knowledge that scholars usually had to master, but there were more questions, which was mainly the examination for the Mingjing subject. Of course, the Jinshi subject also required these basic knowledge, but there were not as many as those in the Mingjing subject.

In fact, the level of scholars is basically the same. If you really have basic knowledge, it means that you are really careless when studying. Such people are eliminated if they are among the first batch of people, and there is nothing to be a pity. If you read this way, you will be lucky enough to become the accountant of a merchant by chance. It is already the peak of your life.

Wen Dengke felt a little disappointed when he looked at this test paper, because these questions were too simple for him. If the questions were not difficult, it would be difficult for him to distance himself from other candidates, and he would not be able to show his ability.

On the contrary, if the exam results are similar, then he, a child of the Han family, can basically not compete with the children of rich families, so if the exam questions are too simple, it will hurt him.

But since it is a simple question, we need to take the exam even more carefully. Wen Dengke asked for the answer sheet, and he answered the questions carefully, and after answering them, he carefully checked them.

At this time, it was not time to hand in the papers, Wen Dengke saw that some candidates had already started handing in the papers, but he was not in a hurry. There was no requirement for who would hand in the papers first, who would have better grades and would not be higher in the rankings because of this. So why did he hand in the papers early?

After stabilizing his mentality, Wen Dengke began to check the second time. When the second time was halfway through, the time for handing over the papers was up, and the sand in the hourglass was leaking, and a official sent him to come to collect the papers.

After Wen Dengke handed over the paper, he thought about it and felt that he would never have any wrong answers. After all, the content of this test paper is more inclined to Mingjing subjects, and it is basically back-to-back, and the endorsement is the simplest for him.

At noon, the county government office was in charge of a meal. The food was not rich, but it was very clean. The main reason was that the candidates would suffer from bad stomachs and if they had diarrhea and delayed the exam, they would not be able to make it. Therefore, this meal did not pay attention to deliciousness, but only to fill the stomach.

Wen Dengke sat in his seat and finished the meal quietly. Although the meal was not rich enough, it was already a very good meal for him. After all, his parents made a living by selling vegetables, so there was no meat usually. At most, they just used meat oil to cook.

There were two boiled eggs in this meal. Wendenko did not eat these two eggs. He put them away and planned to take them back for his parents to eat. Each one happened to be one.

During the meal, the candidates sat in their seats, but their performance was different. The candidates who did not enter the county school were more disciplined and did not speak loudly. They just finished their meal silently in their seats. Some took out the book to read it at this time.

But the students in the county school are different. They are all from wealthy families. They can only say that the food provided in the county government can be eaten. If it is delicious and suits their appetite, no one will think so.

Of course, they are not here for dinner, so no one will pick on this, but it is inevitable to talk while eating.

These students all attended classes in the same place. They looked up and saw each other every day. They were very familiar people, and naturally formed a small group.

Not everyone in the county school study hard, but a small number of them are just making up for the numbers and spending time in it.

However, even if some students are living in the house, their parents are willing, because the students in the county school are either rich or noble, and their families have a background. This is actually equivalent to the upper-class social circle of Qianfeng County. If the friends their children make are all people in this circle, it will naturally be beneficial to their future development.

No matter which era, the relationship between classmates is one of the very useful relationships. The Tang Dynasty is naturally no exception. The word "classmate" is not just a waste of time!

These students began to discuss the test questions in a low voice when they were having a meal. For them, these test questions were actually not difficult. However, it is one thing to know that the test questions are not difficult, and whether they can answer them correctly is another matter.

Some students kept saying, "Oh, I almost remembered it just now!"

Some students said, "Oh no, I just wrote one word less when I was dictating it. Is it too late? I only wrote one word less, and the whole question was wrong!"

Sighs were heard endlessly, and some people even patted their thighs and knocked their heads on the table, looking like they were in pain and regretting it too late.

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao stood outside the side courtyard, secretly observing the performance of the candidates.

Fu Guibao said: "If you want to abide by the rules, ordinary people's children seem to be more abide by the rules, but we have spent a lot of effort to establish the newly established county school, and the students in it are not performing very well, which is quite disappointing!"

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "That's not the case. I think the students in the county school are more active, and this will be more popular in the officialdom.

However, if they cannot pass the scientific examination, they will never be able to enter the officialdom. So even if they are better able to be officials, there is no official to do!"

The two of them yelled in unison. Neither of them came from poor families, but at this time they both felt that the children of poor families were more motivated.

At least in this big exam room, the behaviors shown by the students are better than the children of poor families.

After lunch, the candidates took a break for a while and the second exam began. This exam took two hours longer than the previous exam.

The questions in the second exam are also different from those in the first exam, mainly policy discussion.

The first two policy theories are all medium and medium, and basically the same question is what candidates usually practice.
