Looking at Meng Tong in the audience, Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.
"These are Datang's hopes for the future."
He sighed,
"Looking at their innocent and tender faces, I really want to recruit them all."
"Unfortunately, resources are limited."
"We can only hope that the Academy model is successful and can be replicated throughout Tang Dynasty!"
Li Chunfeng nodded.
"There's nothing we can do about it. You have to eat your food one bite at a time, and you have to walk the road step by step."
He stroked his beard and said,
"let's start?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"quiet!"
He shouted, pointed at Meng Tong in the east patch, and said,
"There are too many children, so I can only divide them into four areas, namely Qinglong District, White Tiger District, Suzaku District, and Xuanwu District."
"Now, please let the children in other areas sit quietly while the Qinglong District takes the exam!"
The Meng children in the east suddenly became nervous and stared at Xu Fenglei.
It is said that they are Mengtong, the youngest of whom is only four or five years old. They are sent by their parents to join in the fun.
The oldest one is already in his teens and has a calm temperament and does not run around.
There's nothing you can do about it... After all, it's just the first time to enroll students, and many things haven't been standardized yet.
After a few years of smooth operation, strict age requirements for Mengtong will be implemented.
"Please read the question!"
Xu Fenglei wrote on the huge drawing board behind him and said loudly,
"A, B, and C all like to lie, and sometimes tell the truth. One day, A accused B of lying, B accused C of lying, and C said that both A and B were lying."
"We know at least one of them is telling the truth. Who's lying?"
"Please answer and provide ideas for solving the problem. Ideas are also an important criterion for evaluation. You have a quarter of an hour to think and a quarter of an hour to answer."
In an instant, the Meng children in Qinglong District fell into silence.
This is a classic thinking question for later generations, and what Xu Fenglei examined was exactly the thinking of children!
This kind of question does not require much knowledge or background. As long as the mind is functioning flexibly, it can be answered. If you cannot answer it within the specified time, then I'm sorry——
Teaching resources are limited and can only be eliminated.
"A, B...Oh, it's so difficult!"
"How to do it, how to do it? Can any kind-hearted brother or sister teach me."
"The time is coming! I can't think of anything..."
"..."
A large number of Mengtong chewed their pens and thought hard, with sad faces.
Especially some people who were originally confident and thought they were knowledgeable, suddenly couldn't do it!
What kind of question is this? This... has never been taught at home!
On the stands, Xu Fenglei took a sip of tea and smiled.
"This question is still a bit new."
Li Chunfeng pondered,
"Let me think about it too..."
"Hey, isn't this very simple?" came a female voice.
But he saw Wu Erya jumping out from behind and running to Xu Fenglei.
"Erya, come here."
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"Aren't you familiarizing yourself with the teaching materials in advance? Why did you run out?"
"Would you like to take the entrance exam questions to test your strength?"
This girl was a recommended student, and she had to work hard to take exams. She entered the school directly without taking the exam, and entered the academy earlier than all the students.
"OK."
Wu Erya glanced at the question twice and said,
"Suppose A is telling the truth, then A's accusation of B telling a lie is valid, and then based on B's telling a lie, it can be concluded that C is telling the truth."
"But C also said that both A and B told lies, which is obviously contradictory. So A told a lie, then B told the truth, and C also lied."
"So A and C are false and B is true!"
"complete!"
When Li Chunfeng heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up.
"It's so smart, you figured it out right away."
He praised,
"As expected of a recommended student, he is really capable!"
This question was not difficult, and he quickly came up with an idea.
But it's still rare for someone like Wu Erya to figure it out at a glance.
"whee."
Wu Erya grinned, quite proud of himself, and showed off to Xu Fenglei,
"Godfather, please praise me."
This is acting coquettishly and begging for praise.
"do not be arrogant."
Xu Fenglei patted her head and said,
"It's just a threshold question. There are many people in Qinglong District who can solve it quickly like you."
"When you finish all the questions from the four regions, it won't be too late for me to praise you again."
Wu Erya shrugged.
"It's just a question at this level, it's trivial."
She is quite confident.
Two quarters of an hour later.
As the bell rang, all students in Qinglong District had their test papers taken away, regardless of whether they answered or not.
Some are confident, some worry about gains and losses, some are lost, and some are dumbfounded...
Their pens were distributed to students in Baihu District.
"Now, please give the answer to the children from the White Tiger District."
Xu Fenglei peeled off a piece of paper and said loudly again,
"Please read the question——"
"Three people drank three buckets of water in three days. How many buckets of water did nine people drink in nine days?"
"Please give me the answer and ideas for solving the problem."
Swish, swish, swish.
The title was written on the drawing board, and now it was the children from the Baihu District who bit the pen.
"That's a good math problem."
Li Chunfeng read the title with relish and said,
"As long as you think carefully, it's easy to make."
"Girl, can you do it?"
Wu Erya looked at the drawing board, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Simple."
"Three people drink three buckets of water in three days, and one person drinks one bucket of water in three days, so one person drinks 30% of one bucket of water in one day."
"Nine times the number of people and nine times the number of days, that's eighty-one times. Multiplied by the amount of water a person drinks in a day, it's... twenty-seven barrels!"
"I can figure it out without even counting my fingers."
Li Chunfeng's eyes brightened.
"The thinking is very clear!"
He praised again,
"My child, you are very talented in mathematics! Are you interested in learning mathematics from me?"
Wu Erya curled his lips.
"Xiao Dao'er, it's okay to just play, I don't want to go into details."
She is a little arrogant.
Li Chunfeng smiled.
"Mathematics is not a trivial subject. It is the mother of all subjects. The development of mathematics will also promote the progress of other subjects."
Xu Fenglei patted her head twice and lectured,
"Don't be arrogant, there's no harm in learning more!"
"Even if you use it to manage accounts in the future, that's fine!"
Wu Erya stuck out his tongue and made a face.
Xu Fenglei sighed in his heart.
It seems that it is necessary to improve the status of mathematics in Datang.
You see, these children are obviously talented, but they don’t bother to learn! They all got into the humanities such as the Four Books and Five Classics.
It’s not that humanities are bad, but science and engineering are also very important! That is the root cause of promoting the development of productivity!
…
Throughout the whole morning, Xu Fenglei kept asking questions to assess tens of thousands of students.
In the first test, 70% of the students from the four regions were screened out. The elimination rate was extremely high, and only less than 4,000 people entered the retest.
In the re-examination stage, the difficulty of the questions increased, and the questions were presented in the form of words and paintings. There was another wave of large-scale elimination. There were only less than 1,000 people who passed this level.
In the final test, the competition becomes even more intense!
1,000 people competing for 450 seats!
Those who can break through the siege and finally obtain the qualifications are the best among the people! Excellent source of students!
Wow.
Xu Fenglei took away the papers of the final examination and said loudly:
"The Academy will rank you based on your final exam scores. The top 450 will receive an admission notice."
"At that time, someone will send it to your home."
"Now... everyone has worked hard. If you want to eat, you can stay in the academy. Today we are in charge of food all day long. Regardless of whether you passed the exam or failed, parents and students can have a full meal."
"Let's break up."
After saying that, he sent someone to pick up a few thick stacks of test papers and left the square.
Bang bang bang.
The door to the academy opened, and countless parents rushed in like zombies.
"Son! How did you do in the exam? Did you pass?"
"Son, what questions did you take the test? Did you win all the questions your father gave you?"
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's okay... If you fail in the exam, you will fail in the exam. There are so many people, and dad doesn't expect you to pass the exam."
"..."
In an instant, the academy turned into a lively vegetable market, bustling with people.
Some laughed, but most of them cried, running to their parents to tell them about their mental breakdown during the exam.
"Dad, I can't do it, I can't do it, it's too difficult! Wuwuwu..."
"A is lying and B is lying, I can't figure it out at all, I can't figure it out at all!!"
"I'm not willing to give in. I'm just one step away from the final exam, just one step! If you give me a little more to do on that question, I'll definitely be able to do it!"
"Dad, the principal said he was in charge of the food, so let's have a meal anyway, so it's not like our trip was in vain..."
"..."
Seeing the lively scene in the square and the crying children, Xu Fenglei stood in the office on the second floor and couldn't help but sigh.
"In the imperial examination, thousands of troops and horses cross a single-plank bridge. Unexpectedly, I got a bachelor's degree and it also means that thousands of troops and horses cross a single-plank bridge."
He sighed softly,
"Educational resources... cannot be supported by one person."
"I hope that when these children become talented in the future, some of them will like to be teachers. One person can teach a hundred people, and a hundred people can teach a hundred people. Only in this way can this problem be solved."
Squeak.
Xu Fenglei was sighing when he heard the door being pushed open.
"headmaster……"
A beautiful woman with good looks walked in gently and stared at Xu Fenglei.
Xu Fenglei: "..."
"you……"
He wondered,
"Who are you? Parent?"
The beautiful woman nodded, pursed her lips, and said with a pleading look in her eyes:
"Principal, my young son is really smart. He...he just didn't perform well this time. He really only has a little chance of re-examination, just a little bit."
"You...can you give him a chance?"
Xu Fenglei was stunned.
"This...of course it won't work."
He didn't think much and refused directly,
"The exams are all fair, just and open, and I have made it clear in advance about the fifty places that will be occupied."
"The remaining four hundred and fifty must be passed the exam."
"I completely understand your desire for your children to study, but the final exam is too difficult to pass the re-examination. After all, more than half of the children who pass the final exam have to be eliminated."
The beautiful woman approached slowly.
"I know I know……"
She said softly,
"But I just wonder if the principal can be accommodating..."
"Really, just give him another chance. He didn't perform well and it's really uncomfortable... As a mother, I feel uncomfortable when I see my baby in trouble."
"Look...can you think of another way? Whatever your request, I will agree to it..."
The beautiful woman's eyes moved as she kept getting closer.
Xu Fenglei could smell the scent of makeup on her body... It wasn't the cheap kind, it had to be high-end.
This beautiful woman is at least the wife of a wealthy businessman.
"Well……"
Xu Fenglei calmly took two steps back and said,
"Sorry, you may not understand."
"What I mean is that there is no way to be accommodating. If all these tens of thousands of students want to be accommodating, then my office must not be broken into?"
"I completely understand the desire to give children a good education. Really... In this big world, my school is not the only one with a good education. There are also other powerful private schools. You can take a look."
"Now, please leave, I have something else to do."
The beautiful woman bit her lip again, then suddenly bit her silver teeth and fell to her knees with a pop.
"Principal...I'll make it clear!"
She stared at Xu Fenglei and said,
"As long as you are willing to be accommodating, even if you just give your child a chance to take the exam again, I...I will promise you anything!"
"You are, just... it's all fine!"
As she said that, she actually wanted to untie her skirt!
Xu Fenglei: "!!!"
Damn it, something is going on!
"Don't mess around!"
He said hurriedly,
"You are a parent, a parent! It's just a child's study problem. There is no need to do this... to abuse yourself like this!"
"It's really just a matter of reading a book. Don't be fooled. It's really..."
"calm!"
"If you do this again, then I have no choice but to leave!"
Da da da!
Xu Fenglei hurried to the door and opened all the doors and windows to show his innocence.
If he was slandered for nothing, he would not be able to spit out his old blood!
"Really...can't you be accommodating..."
The beautiful woman stopped her movements and cried,
"I just want Qing'er to be successful. What's wrong with me... As long as he can be successful, I'm willing to pay any price!"
"Everything! Really..."
Xu Fenglei: "#￥%...@#￥!!!"
He used to think that the mothers in later generations who dedicated their lives for their children's education were outrageous, but now, he actually saw it!
Oh no...it's even more outrageous!
To be honest, this beautiful woman is quite pretty. If she meets an old pervert, she might just follow her.
After all, it doesn't hurt to put one more person in a classroom with 50 people.
But who is Xu Fenglei?
He is a person who wants to remain a child, practice Taoism when the time comes, and pursue eternal life!
Don't say you are a beauty, even if you are a fairy, you can't make him fall in love with you!
Let's talk about this kind of thing, even if it is just a rumor, it can be embarrassing! If you really do it, your reputation will definitely be ruined!
"I'm sorry, please respect yourself!"
Xu Fenglei refused sternly and then said,
"I'm going downstairs, farewell!"
After that, he turned around and left, stomping downstairs.
When something like this happens, even he can only avoid it...if he gets caught, it's over!
