Chapter 1241 Civil Service Examination
The bell rang and the candidates entered.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, the candidates quickly came to the room corresponding to their number plates. The order was in good order as if they had rehearsed it.
In fact, after the series of events just now, most people have learned their lesson. Even if someone wants to make trouble inside, they will re-evaluate the gains and losses at this time.
And those guys who were originally used as guns have begun to curse in their hearts. As long as they go out, they will immediately find the secret police to report this matter.
In fact, there are many actors invited by Franz among the crowd who made trouble before, otherwise how could so many idiots dare to make trouble in front of the Royal Guards.
Their existence is to attract potential enemies on the one hand, and a warning on the other. Franz's purpose of playing this childish trick was obviously achieved, and the effect was very good.
"Put your hands on the Bible and the Imperial Code and swear that you will not cheat in the exam. Those who violate the law will be punished for both blasphemy and dereliction of duty."
"I swear in the name of Almighty God and the great Emperor Franz Joseph I that I will do my best to complete the exam, not cheat, and not plagiarize."
The oath was written long ago. After the oath was completed, the examiner began to distribute the papers.
The first question on the test paper stumped many people.
Please find the raw materials for making white bread and black bread in the following pictures.
In fact, this is not a problem for most people, but it is a disaster for a few too wealthy groups. They have only seen bread and flour. They don't know or care about how bread and flour come from.
Hans and Paul have been out of school for nearly 20 years. They have suffered all kinds of hardships in the world, so this kind of problem is naturally no problem.
The two happened to be in the same examination room, smiled at each other and came to the next question.
Question 2: There are two small chemical plants in a city. There are four facts about the operation of the plants:
1. If a plant increases its productivity, it will increase its wastewater discharge.
2. If wastewater discharge increases, the pollution level of the city river will rise.
3. When the pollution level of the city river rises, the city council will consider recommending to the mayor to introduce new regulations to restrict the plant.
4. Both plants A and B have increased their productivity, but only plant A has taken wastewater treatment measures.
Question: Which of the following situations is most likely to happen:
A. The city council has begun to draft new environmental regulations.
B. The pollution level of the city river has not increased significantly.
C. The wastewater discharge of plant B has not increased significantly.
D. The wastewater treatment measures of plant A have successfully reduced pollution.
In the Austrian Empire, the city council did not have legislative power, but it had the right to formulate some local regulations and rules to manage the daily affairs of the city, but these rights needed to be approved by higher authorities or even the emperor himself before they could be implemented.
This question made Paul and Hans a little confused.
Question 3: The Vienna government plans to improve transportation by building three new railways. The construction time and estimated cost of each railway are as follows:
Railway 1: Construction takes 3 years and costs 3 million florins.
Railway 2: Construction takes 4 years and costs 4 million florins.
Railway 3: Construction takes 5 years and costs 5 million florins.
The Vienna government can invest 2 million florins each year.
Inflation: Assume that the construction cost increases by 5% each year.
Priority: Railway 3 is the most critical and must be completed first.
Financing options: The government can choose to take out a loan, but it must pay 10% interest each year.
Question: Under these conditions, how many years will it take Vienna to complete the construction of all railways?
Question 4: There are 125 sheep and 5 dogs in a flock. How old is the shepherd?
At this time, the sound of the quill pen being broken kept ringing, and some people who were already bald had changed their hairstyle.
When someone pondered for a long time and found a small word selection in the corner, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.
The prototype of this question is "There are 26 sheep and 10 goats on a ship. How old is the captain on the ship?" However, unlike people's stereotypes, this is not the masterpiece of a primary school teacher, but a study by French people in 1979, and even just a simple translation.
After only the first day of the exam, many people felt both physical and psychological discomfort. Compared with the abstract questions in front, the legal provisions that made people complain on weekdays seemed much more friendly.
The second day's exam was the traditional legal provisions and simple judgment, and there was not even a third option.
Franz was not very optimistic about this traditional exam. He did not think that this could really select any talents. This so-called exam could not even be compared with the imperial examination in the East.
But here it is not the eight-part essay of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In Franz's view, the eight-part essay is also dregs. It is difficult to judge who is more stupid.
From the third day, the candidates really got the feeling of being in power, especially the question of how to deal with the threat from France, which was even more imaginative.
How to deal with the rebellion problem on the fourth day.
How to promote national integration on the fifth day.
Ran Min, Huang Chao, and Zhang Xianzhong would cry when they saw these test papers. They only regretted that they were born a few hundred years earlier and were not born in the same place as these guys.
After five consecutive days of exams, the candidates were exhausted, but fortunately, Vienna's entertainment industry was rich and colorful, and both refined and popular.
The only small problem is that the cost is a bit high.
In fact, Franz was very thoughtful. He provided free accommodation for the candidates, but the environment was definitely not so ideal.
Three meals a day were also provided. It was not very good, but not shabby either.
Rich people would definitely look down on such conditions. Except for a few people who like to take advantage, those who are willing to live in free rooms and eat free meals are truly poor people.
Of course, there are also a few people with ulterior motives.
In a room, several candidates preparing for the exam were pointing at a smoking bearded man and cursing. The bearded man had a scar on his face, which made him look very fierce. They didn't dare to speak until they had the advantage of numbers.
"Can't you let me read? I'm choking!"
"How can you be so uncultured!"
"Get out!"
The bearded man was still smoking as if no one was around, and then said slowly.
"Just now I asked you to read without making any noise, how did you do it?"
The other party continued without taking up the topic.
"What do you think this place is? This is Vienna! Smoking is prohibited! Be careful or I'll have the police arrest you!"
"This is Vienna, yes, but Vienna only prohibits smoking in public places. This is obviously not the case. It seems that you don't understand the laws of the Austrian Empire.
Check out. It's a waste for you to stay, a waste of national resources and your time."
"Are you looking for death?"
One candidate grabbed the collar of the bearded man.
The bearded man finally turned around and stopped reading and asked.
"Can I take this as an invitation to a duel?"
"Sure! The four of us will duel against you one."
Before he finished speaking, a heavy punch hit the candidate's face, followed by a heavy kick to the head.
"It's one against three now."
