Take the mall to Datang

"You are quite confident. I don't know if you dare to let me randomly select a few people to come out and test it on the spot." Li Shimin said.

"Of course." Yuan Shan said, thinking that all the nine chapters of arithmetic are very old-fashioned, so why not dare.

Li Shimin had already determined that since Yuan Shan dared to say this, he would not be wrong, there would definitely be assessments, and what he wanted were talents.

"Where are these full-score candidates now?" Li Shimin asked.

"Avoidance is currently going through the entry procedures at the Ministry of Economic Development." Yuan Shan said.

"You're pretty quick." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty's mathematics talents are rare, and the accounts of the Ministry of Economic Development are still short of people to take care of them. Hurry up and let them join the job, which may affect the work progress." Yuan Shan said.

The remaining part of the talent school took the exam. The elite students are now participating in internships in Lanzhou, so the exam is just a coping. After these students join the Ministry of Economics and Development, they still start from internships.

The actuaries who are really trained are all recruited by the Qian Bank after they have completed their studies, so the scientific examination is nothing to these people.

When Li Shimin proposed to assess the students, the same math test questions were presented.

How did the emperor know these things? He was confused by the various numbers. In order to find teachers to seal the students' ability, he specially called several mathematics teachers from the Imperial College, and let them read the test papers first. It seems that several math teachers are stumped.

I was so anxious that I was sweating.

"Why can't you solve these arithmetic problems?" Several teachers knelt down in fright after hearing this.

"We have all been involved in these good topics, and it will take a long time to solve them."

"Hmph!" Li Shimin was a little upset. The mathematician teacher of the stately Imperial College couldn't solve the answer immediately. Isn't this a slap in the face while outsiders are watching?

"This is not an exam, but the use of abacus is allowed." Yuan Shan reminded several teachers.

Then I heard the crackling sound of the abacus beads coming from the royal kitchen.

It took a long time for a few people to figure out the questions, but after comparing the answers, there were problems again, and several people had wrong questions.

Li Shimin is too embarrassed to say something, is it because of his lack of ability? These teachers used to learn from Wang Xiaotong, and they should be regarded as the top arithmetic masters in Datang, but they still made mistakes in details. Several of the answers are wrong, but the replacement steps basically seem to be similar.

So it can be said that if they don't get full marks, they are not capable, at most, they don't have enough knowledge.

Seeing the situation like this, Li Shimin didn't want to go to the candidates for the test, and all those who passed the test were recruited by the Ministry of Economics and Development as interns. What else can he say.

After the literary examination, the imperial court officials attached great importance to the appointment of Li Shimin. Originally, they followed the process and then filled the vacancies of officials.

However, Li Shimin finally decided to check the answers to these people's supplementary questions, and suddenly felt that even the top three people's answers to supplementary questions were very unsatisfactory.

So the six-month internship plan came out. Newly appointed officials in various places need to serve for six months. Whether they can be transferred to the position depends entirely on their ability.

Reluctantly, Yuan Shan, who was in the imperial study, could only come up with this idea under Li Shimin's questioning, and the newly appointed officials didn't know the content of the appointment assessment. up.

After the literary examination, the martial arts examination became more lively, with a point system, and the main assessment was divided into three items.

The first item is the written test. The basic questions are very simple. The purpose is to test the questioning level of the warriors. , the questions are simple but they are all basic and necessary. It should not be a bad test.

But this first test alone drove many people crazy, especially many soldiers at the grassroots level took part in the test. If the written test didn't have an advantage, they could only focus on the individual martial arts competition.

The personal martial arts competition in the second test is divided into many types. If the generals of the Tang Dynasty are not good at wielding knives and guns, how can they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country to surround their homes? With the strong support of the Ministry of War, Yuan Shan simply followed the previous selection Standard set up five rings in the stadium.

Individual boxing arena, horseback riding and archery, as well as competitions of physical strength and endurance, are just like abnormal track and field games. At the same time, there are also special martial arts demonstrations. For example, some people are good at throwing spears. Standards will also be awarded points.

The third test is to fight against war chess in groups. Ten sand tables are played by two people each time. This is a favorite of the generals in the Ministry of War, so the examiners and the officers sent by the Ministry of War are all captains. Their rich experience will soon be able to Know the results of both parties.

These are the contents of the martial arts exam. As for the treatment of the martial arts champion, it is actually the same as the literary exam, except that there is no probationary period. Instead, a new barracks is directly established to start training for a period of three months, and then they are assigned to each team according to the actual results. The squad leader at the first level of the team, his future promotion depends entirely on his military exploits.

The martial arts test was not too restrictive, Yuan Shan directly invited the Duke of the State to assist in the battle, and then all the generals gathered together, like Duke Lu Cheng Zhijie would personally host the game of war chess deduction.

The auditorium of the Blue River Village Stadium is also open to the public, and spectators pay five cents a day. As a result, there are huge crowds of people shouting and cheering. Many people think that watching this is more interesting than watching a football match.

This atmosphere has to be said to be very interesting. There are so many martial arts examiners that there are tens of thousands of people signing up for the individual group arena. Hundreds of people fight each other every day, from morning to sunset.

The generals looked eager to try, especially when they saw the soldiers they had brought to compete with others, they shouted non-stop, and some generals even ran to the ring to help cheer, but the captain of the other side must not I am glad that facing so many people is not easy to start fighting directly, but they all expressed that they would borrow the ring here to compete after the martial arts test.

Yuan Shan couldn't be happier, the more people in the ring, the more he likes them, he didn't expect the martial arts exam to be so lucrative, although the tickets are only a few hundred, but looking at the millet cakes, popcorn, etc. that tens of thousands of people eat Some of the food was provided by the Yuanjia Food Workshop. All kinds of hawkers with food boxes, water vendors with water pipes and bowls, could drink tea for a penny.

Chapter 722 Competition for Hegemony

The best product sold in Lantian County the next day turned out to be pottery bowls.

Five pennies will let you see that you can't go without eating for a day, even if everyone eats a meal, the surrounding snack bars can't win together. On the first day, many people watched the game hungry.

There are more people who want to eat snacks the next day. Popcorn is very cheap and you can buy a big handful for five cents. You can eat it with clothes in a bag. The portion is very large. You can order something to drink , So those who deliver water back and forth are even busier, not to mention that you can drink boiled water for a penny, and they are on call.

On the third day, bring your own food and water, but there will still be many people buying snacks.

The personal arena competition has been going on for half a month, and the business development is not too good. The plates with various texts and patterns placed in the competition arena are written with the names of various shops, and the advertising fee has earned thousands of dollars. .

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War presided over it, and the cost of the venue was allocated from the national treasury. It was Yuan Shan's whimsy to make a profit. Anyway, the literary examination was like this, let alone the good opportunity of the martial arts examination.

Yuan Shan found that the people of Datang really needed some public entertainment, and they never got tired of watching other people's arenas. Three days later, the stadium was almost overcrowded.

Many people who took the exam felt like they were being treated as fighters. Anyway, it was unspeakably weird, but when the winner heard someone cheering for him, the sense of superiority in his heart became even stronger.

The tangerines that have attracted so much attention are so good that some people even want a bunch, but the martial arts exam just has to wait until the next round to have a chance.

Yuan Shan has been observing here for the past few days. He has found a lot of good seedlings. He is very strong and strong, which is very exciting. He thinks it will be good if this project continues. When the time comes, Datang Fist The King Contest must be very lively.

After the individual arena competition is over, the most games you participate in will be rewarded with points. It doesn't mean that you will be eliminated if you lose a game. As long as you pass the scoring system, you can become a soldier. Those with more than ten essays can directly serve under the captain.

The reward system is very clear, but everything needs to complete the recruit training, and those with better overall performance will be focused on training. Generals and commanders can only be evaluated after the martial arts exam is over.

"Yuanshan, what are you laughing at? We feel like you're going to make up your mind again." The orange juice machine said suddenly.

"Ah? No." Yuan Shan said.

He didn't notice the word "again" at all, Cheng Zhijie is old and cunning, are you kidding? I don't like it, but it's been a waste of half a month, even if I am stupid, I can see the clues.

The names of the various shops written on the field, as well as the eating and drinking of so many people, you can see hundreds of people selling things on the side as long as you are not blind. The small stalls and hawkers around have made money these days.

Adding seven, seven, eight and eight together, it can roughly be calculated as a daily income of thousands of guan, which is still the lowest estimate. After seeing Yuan Shan's smile, Cheng Zhijie is sure that this kid is definitely thinking about getting rich.

"You can't fool me, your Uncle Cheng is very short of money." Cheng Zhijie said with a smile.

"I thought it was your business. The kid is going to do a series of activities, the boxing championship, the lion king competition, anyway, it is the championship competition. If Uncle Cheng participates, we can do all of this." Yuan Shan said .

Cheng Zhijie knew that Yuanshan definitely had a plan, but he didn't expect it to happen, so he thought about it and said, "Isn't it just a competition to sell tickets to enter the arena, can you make money?"

Yuan Shan asked rhetorically, "Uncle Cheng, every time you and Uncle Yuchi organize a football match, you still reserve the stadium at the stadium. It seems that you can earn a lot from the ticket fee."

Cheng Zhijie was a little embarrassed, every football match was not only a friendly contest between two guards, but also he could earn hundreds of guan every time he reserved and sold tickets. Although it wasn’t much, it was enough for the two teams to buy wine and drink. up.
