Chapter 670 Exam Paper of the Academy


    ??There will not be too many students in the academy at the beginning. After all, in this era, studying literature and practicing martial arts are almost exclusively the rights of the nobles, and ordinary people really can''t afford to support them...


    In addition to family inheritance, studying literature and practicing martial arts often requires extra funds. Those who practice martial arts need a lot of blood and food to keep fit, while those who study literature need to purchase books. Anyway, they are similar, but books can still be passed on to the next generation. And if you eat blood food, you will eat it, so many people think it is more cost-effective to study literature.


    Hence, those who have the conditions to come to the Academy to study, their family conditions are not too bad, at least they are at the level of rural right-wingers.


    Fei Qian once thought when he was bored, would Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai appear? In fact, the actors in later filming were all wrong. The seductive aura of the actress could be smelled across the mountains. , there is nothing that cannot be distinguished...


    ??There is only one possibility for the real Butterfly Lovers, that is the young Lolita and Shota. In ancient times, people got married at an early age. Sometimes they got engaged and married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. So the gender characteristics were not very obvious at the age of thirteen or fourteen. If you are careful and careless, it is still possible to get along for a long time without being discovered.


    However, Fei Qian is certain that no Liang Zhu will appear now. It’s not that there are no girls coming to school, but that the Han Dynasty had a strong defense against men and women. Although there were requirements, it was not yet the case in later generations where even being looked at and holding hands was not enough. It''s as cruel as gouging out your eyes and chopping off your hands, so it''s not that miserable...


    What''s more, the tragedy of Liang Zhu is not the love between a man and a woman, but the wrong family.


    What will make the most money for children in future generations is, of course, education...


    It’s not easy to make money from various tutoring classes, cram schools and interest classes. Each class hour can range from tens to hundreds. I don’t know how much GDP they have contributed to...


    In addition to cultivating adaptive talents, the Academy is also a money-making machine.


    ?However, this point cannot be explained directly to Cai Yong.


    Fei Qian took out a test paper from his sleeve, then offered it with both hands, handed it to Cai Yong, and said: "Master, since the academy is open to the world, students will inevitably be divided into good and bad, so I pretended to write this paper to test it, and called it ''Exam paper''.


    ?? Cai Yong said "Huh", nodded, took the test paper, and said: "Just test it, well, it makes some sense..."


    However, after taking the test paper, Cai Yong did not unfold it directly. Instead, he looked at the texture of the paper used in the test paper, rubbed it twice with his hands, then took it to his nose and smelled it, and said with some surprise: "This paper "Jia, where did it come from? It''s not hemp paper, nor is it made of leather, so why is it so..."


    In the current Han Dynasty, there are two main popular types of paper, one is linen paper and the other is Pu paper.


    Hemp paper, not a sack.


    It is said that hemp paper was created by Cai Lun, but in fact it should be just a reinvention or improvement. Jute is mainly used as the raw material. Due to the difference in technology and auxiliary materials, there are two types: white linen paper and jute paper. White linen paper is naturally whiter and smoother, while jute is slightly yellower and rougher. They were originally made from Luoyang paper. Produces the best.


    Pu paper is more high-end. It is also said that Cai Lun innovated again in the later period. It is made of Pu tree bark as raw material. The paper is smoother than hemp paper. Of course, due to the limitations of Pu tree material, the price is also high. It is higher than hemp paper and is generally used by the government or wealthy families.


    “This is bamboo paper,” Fei Qian said.


    “Bamboo?” Cai Yong once again picked up the paper with the pads of his fingers, rubbed it, and held it up to the light to carefully examine the light transmittance and fiber of the paper. “Can bamboo be used to make paper?”


    Cai Yong’s mind is basically attracted by the paper used in the test paper, but he has not read the content on the paper at all, which makes Fei Qian a little embarrassed...


    However, it was also this time that Fei Qian hired papermaking craftsmen from the Huang family in Jingxiang, and Fei Qian was able to establish a papermaking workshop in Pingyang. However, he was troubled for a while because of the materials. Whether it was jute or mulberry, in Pingyang It is difficult to collect in large quantities for a while. On the contrary, although bamboo is not abundant in the north, compared with jute, mulberry trees, or mulberry trees, the quantity is still guaranteed, so in the end, based on Fei Qian''s suggestion, Next, bamboo was used as the main material. Unexpectedly, the experiment achieved good results.


    ?Papermaking was still a purely handicraft industry in the Han Dynasty, so the experience of a master craftsman in the craft was extremely important. Only with a master craftsman could he master the precision of each process.


    "Master..." Fei Qian saw that Cai Yong seemed to want to tear off a piece of paper to see the trend of fiber structure, so he couldn''t help but interrupt, "Master, please check the questions on the test paper... There is still some paper left, and I will have some delivered tomorrow... "Hmm..." Cai Yong then opened the test paper, glanced up and down, and then looked at Fei Qian, "Who wrote these test questions?"


    Fei Qian smiled aside and said that he wrote it himself. As Fei Qian, who grew up among test questions in later generations, he is quite familiar with preparing test questions, so Fei Qian is still a little proud.


    Cai Yong frowned: "This volume...is broad but not precise..."


    “…” Fei Qian’s smile became obviously stiffer.


    “This is a fragmentary meaning that makes no sense...” Cai Yong pointed to the test questions and criticized it.


    “…” Fei Qian completely put away his smile.


    "This volume..." Cai Yong looked at the test questions, then at Fei Qian, then said nothing, just shook his head.


    ?Fei Qian’s face turned completely dark.


    All right.


    Fei Qian lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said, "Qian''s knowledge is shallow, so I beg the master to give me some questions."


    Cai Yong put down the test questions and said: "Zi Yuan, if you write it down and test it, you may test your erudition, your ambition, or your writing... What is the use of cutting off the context and taking far-fetched meanings?"


    Fei Qian left the table and bowed down and said, "What the master said is absolutely true. Qian is taught."


    Aren’t all the test papers of later generations like this? What is the next sentence of a gentleman’s magnanimity? May I ask what central idea the author expressed in writing this paragraph?


    It seems that this model is not accepted now...


    ?Chai Yong nodded, then looked at the test paper again, and then said: "But this paper, the questions are from easy to difficult, which is quite unique... In this matter, well, you can pick up the test paper tomorrow."


    Cai Yong is also skillful in praising after knocking.


    Fei Qian did not know about the examination papers of the Han Dynasty, and it was not impossible to list them. Using the model of later generations of examination papers was just a test. However, judging from Cai Yong’s attitude towards this examination paper, it seems that using the later generations of examination papers was still not feasible.


    The examination papers of the Han Dynasty were mainly practical and were divided into "judgment", "execution", "calculation", "strategy", etc., mainly focusing on the application and explanation of civil litigation, calculation of money and grain, transfer of official documents, policy implementation strategies, etc. There is no such thing as multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions.


    ??Now there is no way to set up various tutoring fees, re-examination fees and other items due to different test papers. In addition to sacrificing a lot of income, Fei Qian also faces a bigger problem...


    According to the examination of unearthed ancient paper and documentary records, the paper made in the early Han Dynasty was hemp paper.


    The production of hemp paper is actually not complicated. For more than a thousand years from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, hemp paper was the bulk of paper used in China.


    Bamboo paper gradually emerged from the Eastern Jin Dynasty...
