The delivery process was much faster than he expected. After lunch, Qi Yuan led him to another teaching building. All teaching buildings have only two floors, and it takes less than a minute to go upstairs and downstairs.
The package was packed and wrapped in a small wooden box. The winner was a boy wearing glasses. He hid behind and took a mysterious look, then turned around and handed over three silver dollars with a happy face, all in denominations of one or two.
"Huh???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment. He thought this gadget was worth only a few hundred taels at most, but he didn't expect that the small bag actually contained something worth 3 taels.
When he went downstairs, Qi Yuan was also shocked: "What on earth are you selling? Are you selling hippopotamus teeth? Have you reported it to the customs?"
"Um..." Shangluo didn't know how to explain it, "Anyway, I assure you, there will be no problem. There can be no problem."
"Okay." Qi Yuan nodded, "I believe in the guarantee of a Chinese. But I can warn you. Although our court is very good to the people, it uses severe punishments. When Tuosheng comes to Jinei, cherish it. For the rest of your life, don’t mess around.”
"What happens if you break the law?"
"It's like theft. If you hit 20 big boards the first time, it's easy to kill if you hit 20 boards at once. So when you execute it, you can beat it in 4 times, with an interval of 15 days each time; if you are caught stealing for the second time, you will be directly exiled. It takes 15,000 miles to go to Haozhou to see the big kangaroos showing their teeth, and it will take more than three years and less than five years.”
"The second time, he was directly exiled to the Southern Continent? Can he still come back?"
"If you can come back, you can definitely come back. The court is very strict about the rules. If you are exiled, you will be exiled. I will never let you die in the exile. I guarantee that you will come back in good health. But when you get there, you can either herd sheep or die. If you grow wheat, you can feed yourself."
"Haren..."
"So I said, if this matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better not touch it next time. Who knows what they ask you to pass on? What if it's smuggled ivory or rhino horn? Then do you go for the ban or does he go for it? Get slapped?"
Shangluo then thought: he really didn't know what this was. Forget it this time, next time he will have to confirm what it is before sending it. Although Zhu Xianfen seems to be a kind person, there are some things that weigh only two taels if they are not weighed on the scale, but they cannot be dealt with if they are weighed a thousand kilograms.
"Understood. I'll ask next time."
After delivery, the most important thing this afternoon was, which was also the first "errand" arranged for him by Daozu.
The National Middle School Formula Racing Championship will be held three months later at the same time as the imperial examination. The time should be slightly staggered, because many players will drop by to take the exam in Yingtian, and some candidates will come to watch the game while preparing for the exam.
This is one of the three biggest events in the education system every year, the other two being the imperial examination and the chariot race at the academy. Theoretically, they correspond to civilian households, military households, and craftsman households, but all three parties can sign up for each other, so there is no big problem. It's just normal for students from craftsmen households to apply for the imperial examination, and everyone will take the exam. But if you don't take classes at the training center, it may be difficult to have the ability to form a racing team at this age.
Not far from the garage school building, there is a small track attached there, just for test driving. There is not much land available in Mount Wutai, and even the health school does not have that much land to waste. However, because the Wutaishan Circuit is next door, students here can go directly to the "final venue" to practice, which is a big advantage.
However, even if they had the right time, place, and people, the last time the Longjiang team reached the finals was decades ago, and it was entirely a matter of the previous generation.
[The exact time is 29 years ago. 】 Apollonia added, although the tone of the show made Shangluo unhappy. But 29 years is no longer a matter of one generation. It takes almost two generations.
"Squad leader, I'm a little panicked...can we win?"
"Well..." Qi Yuan fell into a long silence.
The two of them walked more than ten meters, and when they reached a corner from the garage, she suddenly stopped:
"Considering that you have just come back, let me introduce you to some details that are not on the flyer. Once you know it in your mind, then you will know it - first of all, do you know what the purpose of the competition is? The most fundamental thing about the National Middle School Formula Racing Championship the goal of."
"Build a car and then inspire automotive technology?" Shangluo remembered that this was the idea of F1 racing that he had seen in the "past". Although not entirely the original intention, F1 racing did play a big role in the advancement of automotive technology.
"No, automotive technology is nothing. It's not important at all. The fundamental purpose of holding the 'National Middle School Formula Racing Championship' is to cultivate a skilled technical team from an early age. This team must not only be technically competent, but also be able to cope with the organization All kinds of situations you have to face when starting a team project. So you see, even the team agent is a student like me. In other words, this tests not only technical skills, but also organizational skills and creativity. "
"Then our problem is..."
"Our technical capabilities and creativity are definitely among the best in the country. Wutaishan Training Center is located in Nanjing. 30% of the students here come from craftsmen's families, including you. Their father and brother are both in the sixth and seventh grades. Craftsmen of level 1, or even level 8, are all important people who can stand alone. Of the three who are offering Wangzai milk to you today, three of them are cousins, and two of them are from the Ministry of Works and Repairs Office. One is a craftsman supervisor. They are the only ones who have to pass the exam and are anxious to worship you. A fleet of so many of us can theoretically represent the highest technical ability that middle school students can achieve at this age.
"In fact, every time we participate in the competition, at least one Qi practitioner joins the team. In the past, there were Qi practitioner drivers, Qi practitioner maintainers, etc. This time our technical director is a Qi practitioner. I also added his Feixin’s name is Han Xingzhi, he’s in Class C of the same grade as us.”
"Then...then we can't win in any life or death? Is it because we are just the Jiangning Longjiang team?" Shangluo remembered that Lu Huaiyang seemed to have told him the reason.
"Ah!!!" Qi Yuan held down his head, "That's why! We can't even get help from Shangyuan County in the same city next door, because Shangyuan County also has its own fleet. Wuhu and Hangzhou in the south , Zhenjiang in the east, Zhenjiang, Songjiang, Suzhou, Yangzhou... all have their own teams. I don’t understand what these people are doing, why do they have to fight with gods every time in the qualifiers! It makes us lose in the qualifiers You have to play all your trump cards, so that everyone will see them all in the finals."
