"Disciple has met the master." With a snap of his fingers, Ye Qian calmly greeted his master Liu Haotian.
"Well, sit down!" Liu Haotian said. After Ye Qian sat down on the seat opposite Wang Chengcai, he introduced: "This is the scoundrel Zhao Kai..."
This Zhao Kai is naturally Ye Qian. His soul has traveled through this world, and his physical body was named after the man who slaughtered Huo Tianzhang.
After briefly introducing his name, Liu Haotian didn't mention it any more. He turned to Zhao Kai and introduced: "Zhao Kai, this is Wang Chengcai from Nanhe Village. He is now a disciple of Zhou Xuebingjia's guile, and he is also your disciple this time.
Appraiser."
"I have long admired your name, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" Ye Qian lightly cupped his hands, without being too close or rude.
He had indeed heard of Wang Chengcai's name for several years. He was a rare genius in this area and had a great reputation.
Especially after Wang Chengcai entered the state school and became a military strategist, his reputation became even more famous, and he had a vague reputation as the first person of the younger generation in the neighborhood, at least among civilians.
Of course, to Ye Qian, this is nothing.
All he wanted was to enter the state school and obtain the law.
That is the law of the great road!
This is crucial for Ye Qian to break through the realm and get a glimpse of the ninth level of Taoism, or even to enter Taoism.
No matter who hinders him, he is Ye Qian's life and death enemy!
I hope this Wang Chengcai has some discernment and is not too desperate.
Wang Chengcai was slightly surprised and didn't say anything. He just sipped the tea in his cup and looked at Ye Qian.
There is a feud between Donghe Village and Nanhe Village. Wang Chengcai is not surprised that Liu Haotian, the wily and scheming village chief, is able to hold back his emotions.
But this boy from Donghe Village knew that the feud was here to test him, and he was still able to live up to his reputation. He was much better than Liu Mingshan.
Ye Qian didn't continue talking, he calmly picked up several cups of prepared tea and sipped it carefully.
The same goes for Liu Haotian!
For a moment, the whole room fell into silence.
The three of them were all drinking tea, and no one spoke first.
After finishing the cup of tea, Wang Chengcai finally spoke to the village chief Liu Haotian and said: "My nephew is so handsome. I would like to congratulate Uncle Liu first. Even if he has no luck with my trick, he will have adventures in the future and his achievements will not be small."
"
Wang Chengcai's voice is as clear and soft as a Jiangnan woman, but it also has an evil flavor.
It complements his appearance perfectly.
Looking at the cheap master Liu Haotian who pouted at the chief officer, Ye Qian couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Liu Haotian twitched the corner of his mouth and said politely: "Thank you, my dear nephew, do you think we should start now?"
Wang Chengcai smiled slightly and said: "Well, now that Uncle Liu has spoken, my nephew dares not to obey. However, before we start, there are some things that I need to explain clearly to Uncle Liu." Looking at Ye Qian from the corner of his eye, Wang Chengcai's tone changed.
Seriously, "among the six branches of military strategists in the state school, which branch to study is determined by the state school. More importantly, the military strategist's annual expenses before leaving the army are also the highest - 50,000 taels of silver per year, Uncle Liu
Are you sure you can afford it with your disciple’s family background?”
Liu Haotian raised his eyebrows and said: "Since I have approached your military experts, I naturally inquired about the cost first. My nephew, I don't have to worry about this. Let's get to the point as soon as possible!"
Wang Chengcai nodded and said: "In that case, then this junior will solve the problem." He took out three lacquer-sealed documents from his sleeves and came to Ye Qian's table. Putting the three letters on the table, Wang Chengcai said: "
There are three entrance exams. The first paper is the written exam. From these three questions, I can choose any one."
Ye Qian took the middle one. Wang Chengcai put away the other two documents, opened the one Ye Qian selected, took out a piece of origami paper, opened it and browsed it. Wang Chengcai spread the paper on the table and read from it.
He took out an ink stone pen from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Qian. He said to Ye Qian: "The title is: What is a soldier? What is an army? What is the art of war? Explain it in thirty words and it takes a quarter of an hour. This kind of question is easy to answer but not easy.
Excellent, I have to think clearly before writing."
After saying this, Wang Chengcai was about to return to the table. However, Ye Qian stopped him and said: "Wait..." Ye Qian picked up the ink pen and without thinking, wrote directly under the title: "Soldiers are weapons of death."
, The army is the sword of the emperor, and the art of war cannot be beyond the heart of the people."
After signing, Ye Qian put down his pen and smiled at Wang Chengcai who looked surprised: "I used to read ancient military books and found that there are many different comments on 'soldiers', 'armies' and 'art of war'.
Think about it. This is my understanding and there is no need to think about it again."
Ye Qian shook his head in his heart. Although he had entered Taoism and practiced Taoism, he had experienced so many worlds. If he still couldn't figure out this simple question, then he had spent all these years in vain.
Wang Chengcai glanced deeply and took a deep look at Ye Qian, who was sitting at attention on the table. He took out a tiger button copper seal from his sleeve and stamped a bright red word "take" on Ye Qian's name.
He didn't expect this person to be able to answer so quickly, and in these few simple words, there was an aura of looking down on the world and taking charge of the court. Even among the state schools, there were few who could achieve such a grandeur.
This kind of answer is often given by those big men who are in power over the world.
I don’t know how this young man, who studied under a village chief, could have such a broad vision!
Even if he wanted to interfere with it, with this answer, he couldn't refuse.
Anyway, the first try is just an appetizer, the second try is the key!
Wang Chengcai re-folded the paper and took it back, nodded to Ye Qian, and returned to the table and said to Liu Haotian: "The first test is over. My nephew will submit the test to the state school when he gets back. If there is no accident, the first test paper passed.
The second test is a battle test, which tests the ability to actually lead troops in combat. This battle for victory will be hosted by the military department, and a restructuring test will be conducted. I will be here to observe and record the results of the battle test, and the battle test will be conducted by your disciples.
The performance in this victory will be judged, so we hope to make preparations as soon as possible.”
"Oh, how to reform?" Liu Haotian frowned, and he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
If such a judgment method is shameless, it means that you are good only if you are good, and you are good if you are not good, and you are not good if you are not good. The real faults and faults are all determined by Wang Chengcai's thoughts.
Thinking of the feud between the two villages, Liu Haotian's face turned gloomy.
"The arena competition has been changed to an attack practice competition. Boys between the ages of twelve and sixteen from both villages can participate, form an army, and attack each other. The one who can't fight within the specified time will lose!
If the allotted time expires and the attack has not been completed, both sides will lose!"
Wang Chengcai said calmly, but in his heart he admired the person who came up with this restructuring method.
This kind of battle to win the fruit really becomes a small attack. If you don't try to win with all your strength within the specified time, you will definitely lose.
"With such a restructuring, there is no way to hold back. It will be normal for a few people to die by then. What are those old fools in the military doing?"
After hearing this, Liu Haotian's face turned livid, and with a bang, he slapped his hand heavily on the table and said angrily.
In such a competition system, it would be a disaster if no human life was spared.
They are all teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16. There are no adults who know the importance of what they do.
You can still have some control over one-on-one in the arena, but in a melee, it's impossible to hold back.
Especially this kind of situation where everyone facing him must get down, no one can be left behind.
He has been on the battlefield and knows that in the event of a red eye, it is not uncommon for less than half of the teenagers in a village to be killed or injured.
"That's right, it doesn't matter if the higher ups tacitly agree to sacrifice some lives!
The corner of Wang Chengcai's mouth twitched slightly. He was in Zhouxue and knew that regarding this point, not only were there fierce quarrels above, but there were also many opponents among the teachers and students of Zhouxue.
But it is the first time after all, and everyone is waiting to see what this fruit-winning battle will turn out to be.
This is also the reason why disciples of the Zhou School came to record the process of winning the war after the restructuring.
"The world is about to change, Uncle Chen!"
Wang Chengcai said something profound. The Northeastern Pass of the empire fell into the hands of the barbarians, and troubled times were about to begin. He still thought of leisurely leisurely. As before, he could obtain resources by competing in the ring, even the cheapest resources.
Too possible.
Without this kind of restructuring, there will be other restructurings.
It is a general trend to transform the system in the direction of actual war. The only difference is whether it is cruel or gentle.
The war between humans and barbarians never ends in a few years.
"Well! It's getting late, my nephew, let's stay today." Liu Haotian's face showed a hint of surprise, his heart moved, he didn't say anything more, he simply nodded.
Without waiting for Wang Chengcai to speak, Liu Haotian directly ordered Ye Qian: "Ye Qian, go to the back and talk to your wife to prepare some good dishes tonight and clean up the guest room."
"Yes, Master." After hearing this, Ye Qian left the table and immediately left the hall. He went to find his wife in the backyard. He told his wife about the matter and was about to return to the hall, but he heard Liu Mingshan calling him from behind, his voice filled with anger.
: "Brother, wait a minute, is Wang Chengcai still there?"
Ye Qian turned around, looked at Liu Mingshan who was running over and said, "Why are you back? Don't you hate this Wang Chengcai?"
"I caught a little boy from Nanhe Village, disguised as a beggar, and asking about the people in our village participating in this fruit-winning competition, and what their strength is. Do you think this is not 'careful work'? And I heard that he is not the only one.
One, their Nanhe Village is so shameless, I want to ask Wang Chengcai, why their Nanhe Village is so shameless!"
Liu Mingshan said with a red face.
"Is that so?" Ye Qian glanced at the hall thoughtfully and said to Liu Mingshan: "Don't go. How did you deal with that 'fine work'?"
Liu Mingshan said proudly: "I hung that little kid at the entrance of the village to show the public. When I send Wang Chengcai out of the village later, I want him to take a good look at how shameless the people in Nanhe Village are!"
Ye Qian held back his laughter and said, "Master, let him stay for one night. If you want to send him away, you can do it tomorrow."
"Ah..." Liu Mingshan was dismayed and asked strangely: "Why did dad keep Wang Chengcai? Didn't he make things difficult for you? Well, did you choose the topic or did he choose it? Did he let you pass?"
Ye Qianqi said: "Of course it passed. I chose the question. Why, can he also designate a question for me to answer?"
Liu Mingshan frowned when he heard this and said: "Yes, the three questions in the first examination of the state school can be specified."
After thinking for a while, Liu Mingshan shook his head with a wry smile, exhaled heavily, and said depressedly: "Forget it, I don't want to do this. The second test was a battle test. I also participated in the fruit-winning battle. I won at that time, but I failed.
