Chapter 81 Information, I need information

This was the first time Wu Jie took the regular imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty.

The college entrance examination is the last level of the boy exam. As long as you pass the exam, you can get the reputation of a scholar and be qualified to take the formal civil service exam. This level is extremely important. Although it is a boy exam, it is not simple for the ancients. Many people have been brushed off at this threshold after ten years of hard work.

If you want to compare with the exams in later generations, the provincial examination is a formal civil service examination, while the college examination is equivalent to the postgraduate entrance examination. In modern society, many good positions require postgraduate degree or above.

Wu Jie has imagined more than once the last level of the boy's test, or what the formal imperial examination should look like. A few days ago, he was worried about staying in the exam room for three days in such a hot weather.

As I remember, the college entrance examination was so stuffy and so uncomfortable. But at least I could go home after handing in the college entrance examination, but when I got here, I couldn’t get out before I finished the exam.

The sun shone violently, and there were no electric fans or air conditioners in the narrow test room, but the roof was low and low. Just reach out and you could touch the tiles that were already hot in the sun.

After sitting in the examination room for about an hour, it was already dawn and it started to get hotter in summer. Wu Jie looked around and saw that the furnishings in the house were very simple. There was a small bed made of bricks, a table one meter wide, and a small stool. There were two wooden barrels, one filled with drinking water and one empty as a toilet.

There is no difference between the two-bit wooden barrel styles, they are just as dirty and sloppy, and they are easy to get confused.

When Wu Jie thought of Yang Zongzhi's affairs, he felt a little panicked. He just sat silently in the examination hall and thought hard to see if he could come up with a solution.

As the saying goes, care will cause chaos. After sitting for a long time, I can’t figure it out even if I live or die.

When he entered the examination room, it was still dark, and Wu Jie was not in a hurry to read the paper because of his concern. Like him, almost all the candidates did not start writing. The ancients were malnourished, and many people were blind at night. In addition, they often chose to wait for night reading, and had many myopia. In order to prevent the wrong answers, the candidates chose to close their eyes and rest.

When the sky opened, the scholars finally moved.

Soon, the sound of ink grinding sounded everywhere, some of which were fast and some were slow, showing different new situations.

The examination rooms in the examination room are not far apart, only four to five meters away. When you look up, you can clearly see the candidates opposite.

The scholar opposite Wu Jie was about in his early forties, his hair was gray, and he was an old boy. He didn't know how many times he had come to take the exam. He knew Lao Ma, so he didn't have to hurry. He just grinded the ink slowly. After a inkstone was ground, he slowly drank a few sips of water and ate something. Then he held the paper and looked at it for a long time without any sign of writing.

Seeing the man's leisurely expression, Wu Jie finally calmed down and said to himself: Don't panic, don't panic, the more you panic, the more you can't think of a solution. If something doesn't happen, it's already happening, and no matter how much you blame others, you can't solve the problem.

This calmness made Wu Jie suddenly realize that even if he sat here for another day, he would still be unable to think of a solution. When ordinary people encounter difficulties, they should not be confused and calm themselves down. Then, they should make things clear from beginning to end, and cooperate with the information they have at hand to see if they can find a breakthrough.

"Information..." Wu Jie's eyes lit up: "Yes, I need information. The case of Yang Zongzhi seems to be quite small from the moment, but it seems that there is no record of the historical information I have read before. In other words, this case should not cause much turmoil, at least not an amazing political event. Since this is the case, the problem should not be big. But how things are solved in the end requires good investigation or a solution can be found. If it really doesn't work, just do it as recorded in historical records."

"Well, I'll go back to modern society soon. The best way now is to sleep to see if I can travel back to the real world in my dreams. With the powerful information means in the real world, it's not easy to find out the truth about this case." Wu Jie stood up suddenly, couldn't help but slapped the table, and scared the old boy in the opposite examination room so much that he looked up at Wu Jie.

After thinking about this, Wu Jie felt a sense of ease.

It was already noon, and it was probably around 11:00 Beijing time in later generations.

Without further ado, Wu Jie immediately lay on the table and closed his eyes.

Although I didn't sleep all night last night, my body was so tired that I seemed to be falling apart, but I was extremely excited and the weather was hot. I lay on the table for a long time and knew that my arms were numb, but I couldn't sleep even if I had sex.

"Oh no, why can't you sleep?" Wu Jie stared at her red eyes, feeling helpless.

There was no choice but to lift my head up again and look over. The old Tongsheng opposite had already started drafting.

Seeing Wu Jie looking over, Lao Tongsheng smiled slightly and nodded politely at Wu Jie. He probably felt the pressure of doing the paper in front of Wu Damingshi. Lao Tongsheng put down his pen, rubbed his hands, bowed to Wu Jie, opened the test basket, took out the dry food from it and chewed it carefully.

In order to prevent entrainment, the dry food that candidates brought when entering the examination room was cut into peanut-sized particles by a yamen runner with a knife.

Because I had to stay in the exam room for three days, Mori also baked more than a dozen cakes for Wu Jie before coming.

When he saw the candidates opposite him start having lunch, Wu Jie felt a little hungry. After thinking about it, he could only sleep after eating enough, so he simply didn't rush to sleep and fill his stomach before talking.

The pancakes are delicious because the weather is hot, and there are no minced meat or chopped green onions inside. Only some large salt particles are added, but when you bite it, it is full of wheat fragrance of fresh grain.

The water in the wooden barrel tastes a bit strange, with a smell of adult rotten wood, which makes people feel disgusted.

I stretched my stomach and felt a little tired.

Wu Jie didn't lie on the table, and simply took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.

The kaohe was too small. This small bed made of blue bricks was only one meter and four meters wide. When I fell asleep, I could only hunch over my body.

"It requires a lot of information. The information on this case is very remote and it should be difficult to get it through formal channels. After you go back, search online first. If you can't find it, you can only call Lao Jin and ask him for help. Of course, he also needs time. Fortunately, there are three days left to be available, so it won't be possible."

I don’t know how long it took, but Wu Jie finally fell asleep in a daze.

"How is Wu Shizhen now?" In the hall, Shen Xuezheng finally couldn't help but take off his black hat, and asked the scholar to twist a wet cotton towel, constantly wiping the oily sweat on his face.

A yamen runner replied: "Reply to the master's words, the villain just went to see it, and Wu Jie seemed to be asleep."

"This Wu Jie is really...it's such a hot day, such an important exam, and you're actually sleeping?" The examiner was speechless.

"A real famous scholar, you are not surprised when handling the police, and you are safe and lying down." The professor of the Ministry couldn't help but praise him.

Even Bao Yingxia, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened her eyes and nodded with relief: "This guy is not bad, he is a calm person."

The three examiners talked again and read the book in their hands.

I don’t know how long it took, but a cool breeze blew in. Shen Xuezheng shouted: “It’s very useful.”

When I looked up, the sun shadow had already set in the west.
