I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 264 Written Test

"The house maker..."

Both Yi and Zi'an found this word somewhat unfamiliar.

Not to mention them, even Li Mosi had to think for a moment before she remembered.

This word is formed by combining earth, wood, and stone, and has no connection with "house" itself.

Zi Yi felt she had a vague recollection of it, but couldn't quite recall it for the moment.

But it doesn't matter.

"Very good, Bohaji. You pass. Stand next to me."

Zi Yi waved to Bohaji and pointed to the person next to him.

"call--"

I finally passed the test.

Bohaji smiled and walked towards Ziyi.

"Yes! Thank you, sir."

He walked over to Ziyi and looked at the people.

Zi Yi then looked at the people.

The people looked at each other again.

"Sir, I'd like to try!"

This time, it was still a townsperson who stood up, but it was a girl.

She looks somewhat mature, but her voice still retains a touch of childishness.

Clearly, they are still some time away from adulthood.

Zi Yi didn't speak, but waved his hand.

If you want to give it a try, then come on over.

He was too exhausted to respond to each one; he just wanted to finish the selection quickly and rest.

The girl walked to the front of the procession and began to recite with her eyes closed.

Her voice was very clear.

Perhaps because he often speaks loudly, his pronunciation is very clear and his enunciation is clean, so that everyone present can hear him clearly.

He memorized numbers one through one hundred with almost no stuttering, and then memorized the multiplication table.

"This person has great potential to be a teacher."

Li Mosi listened, nodding occasionally.

The girl in front of me has an amazing talent for interviews that leaves a deep impression.

After she finished reciting, without Zi Yi reminding her, the girl began to introduce herself.

"My lord, I am Abelly the Shepherd."

"Amberley? Not bad. Come here."

Zi Yi pointed between himself and Bohaji and nodded slightly to Abel.

This clever fellow made him feel a bit more at ease.

Abel walked briskly and quickly stood next to Bohaji.

Bohaji shrugged at her, and the two looked at their people together.

It's unclear whether there were two precedents involving a man and a woman, or whether the residents had simply prepared themselves mentally.

The remaining people no longer called for Ziyi to wait.

As soon as Abel turned around, another citizen stepped forward.

"My lord, I'll do it!"

This time, the voice sounded very immature.

Even the other citizens who were just about to get up froze in place, turning their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came.

That was a little boy in the local community who was just a bit taller than Ziyi.

"I am Buckz the Blacksmith."

Upon hearing this name, Li Moss, who had just conducted a public trial in Baron Taliss's territory during the day, raised an eyebrow.

Zi Yi, Zi An, and Haji Saint both changed their expressions.

Is it just a single syllable difference from the name of the tax official next door?

But this is actually quite normal.

Let alone reversing a single syllable, it's not uncommon for people to have the same name.

The strange feeling in the four people's hearts quickly subsided, and Zi Yi waved to Buckz.

come on.

The child's pronunciation was slightly unclear.

But his memory is fine.

"As expected of a blacksmith."

Li Mosi felt a surge of emotion.

As long as there are no genetic problems, the blacksmith's children are basically the smartest.

After all, when it comes to inheritance, all the people, whether commoners or artisans, are on the same starting line.

Blacksmiths' families were among the most well-off.

It's very nutritious.

Nutrition needs to be adequate.

However, there are more artisan families in the town, and their economic conditions are also quite good.

This is called having more and more people stepping forward to endorse it, and the number of townspeople passing through the checkpoint quickly reached the original target of nine people for Li Mosi and his team.

Only six people from the Lakeside Manor's leadership team passed the test, and they were all children of artisans.

There are two blacksmiths in the family.

Seeing that there were still six or seven people in both lines who wanted to step forward, Zi Yi quickly told them to stop.

"I'm tired, I'll rest for a bit."

The people who were about to step forward nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Yes."

"OK."

Zi Yi turned to look at Li Mosi and the others, then remembered the people standing on either side of him.

He waved to the two rows of people.

"Go sit down for a while."

"OK."

Abel quickly agreed and took Bohaji's hand as they walked away.

Zi Yi walked over to Li Mosi and the other two, took a sip of water, and spoke softly.

"Master, it seems there are quite a few intelligent people among our subjects?"

They originally planned to select nine captains from one manor.

Although the manor itself was managed by the original manor chief and the second son and second daughter of the artisan family, in addition to the townspeople, this could only be described as having someone in charge.

Judging from past experience, not only has the management been ineffective, but it has also been somewhat chaotic.

Several children of craftsmen of the same age were in charge of the same team, leading to unclear responsibilities and authority.

The success of a team depends entirely on individual effort and ability.

Therefore, they planned to split each brigade into three smaller teams.

But let's not talk about ordinary manors now...

There seemed to be quite a lot of people crossing the border in the town.

"Um."

The saintess nodded gently upon hearing his words.

The three of them glanced at her, while Ziyi and Zian's gazes fell on Li Mosi.

Li Mosi shook her head at Zi Yi.

"It's not that there are too many smart people, it's that we've given them too much time."

If you really want to select talented people, you should test them the day after they learn the material.

If the timeframe is extended to three days, anyone with a certain level of motivation and intelligence can pass the test.

"Um."

Zi'an nodded.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

They had been rushing to Baron Talis's territory overnight for the past two days.

There's really not much time.

These are not the things that Li Mosi cares about most.

What he cared about most was how to deal with these people.

After a moment's thought, he spoke to Zi Yi.

"Alright. First, have all your subjects memorize it, then I'll give you a few math problems to see who gets the most right..."

Seeing that his two disciples were no longer able to think clearly, he simply explained the method.

Although the people were resting, no one was chatting idly.

Even if it makes a sound, it's just reading a number table.

Only the fifteen who had already passed the test had the leisure to observe Li Mosi and the others.

They watched as Li Mosi and the others chatted for a while, then separated to rest for a short time before Zi Yi returned to his original spot.

clap clap clap!

Zi Yi tapped the wooden wall with a twig, and all the villagers looked over.

Bohaji quickly got up.

Seeing him get up, the others who had passed the test also got up and went back to their original positions.

Zi Yi addressed the people.

"Who else knows it? Let's go up here."

As soon as he finished speaking, several citizens immediately stood up.

"I!"

"I can do it too!"

"Don't rush."

Zi Yi waved the branch and casually pointed to a citizen.

"One at a time. You go first."

According to the late Master's new method, it doesn't matter how many people pass the test.

Once the tree stump had been burned into a crater by the flames, no one dared to step forward anymore.

At this moment, seventeen townspeople were standing to Ziyi's left, and twelve leaders from Lakeside Manor were standing to his right.

It's actually fine.

The number of people wasn't as many as we initially thought.

"You all stand here."

Zi Yi opened the gate to the chief's hut and called the people who had passed through the checkpoint to go inside.

Nearly thirty people followed him, looking completely bewildered.

Li Mosi and Zi'an also got up with Haji Saint and walked behind the citizens who were crossing the border.

Once everyone was inside, they closed the courtyard gate.

Under the gaze of nearly thirty people, Li Mosi handed a piece of paper to Zi Yi and gave each of the twenty-nine people a wooden stick.

Zi Yi opened the paper in front of all the people, revealing a series of questions inside.

There are addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and mixed operations.

At the very bottom of the list, there's even an extremely long question!

The question contained symbols they didn't recognize that enclosed numbers!

Zi Yi addressed the twenty-nine people.

"Write your answers on the mud with sticks, then spread out and don't look at other people's results..."
