The big test is the most concerned topic on the island in the past few days besides surveying the island!

Of course, the group that is most concerned are those who are now registered as the scholar group. Originally, they were all unsatisfied people in the Central Plains, either down-and-out scholars, brothel singers, or housekeepers who are in trouble.

After coming here, he was granted the status of a scholar and became a cultural person in everyone's eyes. He could not work in farming and get good treatment based on his own cultural skills, and was respected by people around him.

Such days are very good for many people who were once unsatisfied. Meng Jiao is one of them. Now she goes to and from the elegant Bailu Academy and works as an official management work. Most people have to call Scholar Meng when they go in and out. She never dared to think about such days.

She didn't want to give up on such a day.

"Yes, the day after tomorrow, it will be a big exam." Meng Jiao nodded and smiled.

"Oh, I'm not here to disturb me today," said Mrs. Sun quickly.

"It's okay, I'm almost done with the review, it's not a short time." Meng Jiao smiled and said, "If I can't pass, I'll still not pass if I study hard all night."

"Look at what the girl said, you will definitely be able to pass it!" Mrs. Sun comforted.

"I hope," Meng Jiao sighed. Bailu Academy is now the most competitive, and many people are trying hard to stay. But thinking about it is true. If you go to the college every day, study, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then do some paperwork, you can get three times the benefits of an ordinary farmer. Who doesn't want to stay?

"By the way, girl, I'm here to inquire this time. The Master Wen who teaches for our Huzi. How is she? Can you pass this assessment?"

Hearing this, Meng Jiao smiled and said, "Is the literary master? She is naturally fine. She has ranked among the top in several small exams, especially in calligraphy and painting, which is the best in the academy. Even the two men from juren are not as good as those of you. You Hu Zi can study under her school, and you are lucky."

"That's good, that's good!" Madam Sun's eyes shone when she heard this. She used to feel that this female teacher taught well, but she didn't expect that she was so outstanding that she could not even compare to a juren. Then her own Hu Zi really followed the right teacher.

In addition to shoes at night, I brought some sugar to the past. Now it is popular to send sugar. After all, sugar is rare and is the hardest commodity in the village. Two taels of sugar can be exchanged for several fat fish!

"When my family becomes older, I want to send her to Master Wen to enlighten me in two years."

"Then the relationship is good!" Mrs. Sun looked at the little girl with a smile on her face. For three months, she looked at the haggard little girl, from a pale face and thin skin to a white and tender little fat girl. She loved her so much that her daughters had no good ending. She was the least resistant to this cute little girl, which is why she was willing to help take care of the child.

"Shanshan is still well-behaved. When she goes to school, she is like you. She is either a clerk or a master. She is an enviable identity. I am just a tiger boy and I will not be able to do my best. I will let him study hard and try to get the chance to take the Bailu Academy in the future, but he is determined to go to the Tiance Academy to join the army."

"Huzi wants to go to Tiance Academy?" Meng Jiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's not easy to go. Tiance Academy is given priority to the children of military households. If outsiders want to go, they not only have to study well, but also have to practice martial arts since childhood. It is said that according to the new regulations, in the future, children who want to go to Tiance Academy will at least have the same basic weapon posture, but it's not easy to go."

"Is it so difficult?" Madam Sun was stunned. Although she didn't allow her child to take the exam, she knew in her heart that her child was stubborn and her husband secretly supported her. She was afraid she couldn't stop it. But if she knew it was so difficult to get in, I wonder if she would be disappointed.

"Practice martial arts." Madam Sun lowered her head and said, "Where do we country kids come from to teach them how to practice martial arts?"

"It is said that after the terrain of the island is surveyed, the adults will come back to organize special instructors to teach interested children to practice martial arts!"

"Oh?" This made Madam Sun's eyes lit up: "Is it free?"

"Free is free, but you have to eat meat when practicing martial arts, so you have to bear it yourself!"

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Sun suddenly raised her chest: "We said that if we can have 100 stones of grain left this year, it's not a big problem to exchange for some meat. Who can't afford meat now?"

"It's not ordinary meat." Meng Jiao shook her head: "It must be the beef and the arow fish meat raised by Mr. Chen in the village!"

"You eat it every day?" Madam Sun took a breath.

Two months ago, beef cattle were constantly coming in in the village. Every time, Lord Zhang Yuanshan changed it. Most of them were used for plowing oxes. These cattle were fat and gentle. After several trainings, they basically became qualified plowing oxes. Now there is a plowing ox for every 100 acres of land. Several families contracted one together, but they were responsible for feeding together and did not let the plowing ox lose weight. The clerk was responsible for registering, and his family contracted one with the other two.

There are also a small number of them used for meat supplements, but the price is very expensive, several times the price of those mountain dolphins brought from the mountains. My family only occasionally goes to exchange for some to try it out, and few of them can afford it every day!

Not to mention the fish raised in the fish pond of Mr. Chen’s house. It is different from the sea fish caught in the sea. The fish raised by him are bright red and tastes delicious. Eating one can make people energetic for several days, but the price is also scary. One has to be exchanged for four taels of sugar, which is almost ten times the price of ordinary sea fish. I bought it for my child and husband last month to nourish my body. I felt so distressed. Eating it every day is so much a waste of my life?

"It's quite expensive," Meng Jiao smiled and said, "So Huzi wants to learn martial arts as soon as possible. I heard from Lord Wei that military households are given priority to supply free beef, and Mr. Chen's fish is also given priority to supply military households. There are many places for adults to use soldiers, and the treatment of joining the army will only be better in the future."

"I know this." Madam Sun curled her lips. Many people in the village were dissatisfied. Now the treatment of soldiers seems to be too good, better than the Master of Education. Most of the fish from Mr. Chen's house is directly used to supply military households, and only a small part is sold out, so the supply is in short supply and it is extremely expensive!

"But as Ji said, wouldn't only military children practice martial arts?"

"That's not true," Meng Jiao smiled and said, "After the adults come back, they will open a martial arts academy. In addition to the military children, other families who are interested can also send it in. It is said that in the first year of their trip, beef and fish were officially supplied. If they are good grades and are regarded as martial artists, they can always enjoy the rationed meat, but if they are eliminated, they will have to pay for it!"

"This" heard this, Madam Sun was a little moved.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Meng Jiao knew that the other person was moved, and then smiled and said, "You might as well go back and discuss. If your Huzi is determined to take that road, you can send him to try it. As a child, he feels the prestige of joining the army. He goes in for a year to train and endure hardships, he might not think so. What if it is this seedling, I will talk about it then."

"That's how it's going to be more and more moved, because when you try it in, you don't feel a loss. At least you can eat good meat for a year, right? It's also good to be able to keep your body well.

Well, discuss with the head after returning home.

"But if you go there, will you have to delay your study here?"

"No." Meng Jiao shook her head: "Tiance Academy also needs to take cultural courses. Even if you go to the Martial Arts Academy, you have to practice your enlightenment lessons well. I heard that I went to the Martial Arts Academy in the morning and in the afternoon I went back to the Initiation Master to continue studying literature."

"That's great." When Mrs. Sun heard this, she felt heart back in her stomach. This is a good thing that doesn't delay homework and has multiple ways, so she can really consider it.

“When will you be able to sign up?”

"I have to wait until the adults come back. Well, Miss Sun, don't worry, I will ask you for information when the time comes."

"Then please, girl."

"You're welcome"

On the other side, on the top of the mountain, Jiang Sheng gathered a group of people to discuss the matters in the survey of the island.

In the past three months, not only has people's livelihood been on track, but the army has also begun to gradually improve.

There are now 409 soldiers, of which 300 have received special troops of military spirits!

The flower ape soldiers headed by Hou Xiaonian expanded to a hundred people, and the shrimp spirit naval army headed by Zhang Yuanshan expanded to fifty people, while the remaining 150 people were implanted with white deer and green apes, while the remaining 50 people were implanted with various intermediate troops.

With such power, Jiang Sheng felt that simple surveying and exploration should not be a big problem. As long as he was not surrounded by a large number of ten thousand people, he should be able to escape unscathed.

So I decided to march into the island before midsummer!

There will be additional updates tomorrow and the next two days, and at least four updates tomorrow. It depends on the situation the day after tomorrow. Try to pay back the league leader’s major owed updates before the end of the month.
Chapter completed!
