"Hahaha, don't grab them. Grab the wooden bowls and chopsticks. You can eat these today. There are still them in the academy."
"If you can enter the academy and have something like this for every meal, I'm sure you won't want to eat it after three years."
The waiters in the academy displayed hundreds of pots of fragrant food around the martial arts arena, and prepared a large number of wooden bowls and chopsticks. They watched the people in front of them swarm forward and couldn't help laughing.
Although rude, this is human nature. After running sixty miles in more than two hours, they might not have done better than them. They tried their best to make the situation as orderly as possible.
"This young general is joking. If every meal has eggs and fat sheep soup, we will never get tired of eating it for the rest of our lives. In our village, even the village elders can't do this."
Listening to the voice, he was a simple old Qin man. He listened to the words of the man from the academy wearing light armor and tried his best to look polite. Looking at the pots of eggs in front of him, he boiled them directly.
Yes, there are also fried golden eggs directly.
There are also the pots of fat sheep and beef, which look very appetizing, the sheets of pot helmets, and the buckets of soup. At this moment, the largest number of people gather in front of the soup.
Use a wooden bowl to go directly into the wooden barrel, scoop up bowl after bowl, and drink bowl after bowl into your belly. I felt very thirsty before. Although I was happy about those eggs and fat sheep and beef, I still thought it would be better to drink some soup first.
.
After finishing two bowls of soup, I immediately felt that the eggs and meat next to it were even more fragrant.
"Hey, don't worry, take it after you finish eating. There are still some in the academy, there will definitely be enough for you."
The faces of the people in the academy were full of laughter. Looking at the embarrassed people in front of them, they couldn't tell who was the noble person and who was the humble person at this moment. After sixty miles, they were all the same.
When I saw the food, I wished I could take the basin away, wish my wooden bowl could be bigger, and wish my mouth could be bigger.
"Lin, eat more. What about the second test next? It might take more energy!"
In the wooden bowl in Zhuang's hand, there were ten eggs lying on the bottom, and three pieces of fat sheep beef that melted in the mouth were piled on top. He sat on the ground, eating big while whispering to Lin.
"Hey, I know."
Lin also smiled, even if Zhuang didn't say it, he would eat more.
The sound spread to the surroundings, and the people around them suddenly felt shocked. I am sure that the next test will be more energy-consuming, otherwise, why would the academy give them so many delicious food.
For a moment, the speed of eating in the mouth was faster. The hundreds of bowls of food brought out from the academy quickly bottomed out. Then, hundreds of bowls of similar things were brought out. Everyone was immediately delighted and came closer to eat.

"I have seen Xuegong Cheng. Two thousand people have entered the martial arts arena, and the remaining more than a thousand people are waiting outside."
Those who were first thrown into the martial arts field were naturally happy, but the final quota for the first round of assessment was only 2,000. In any case, more than 1,000 people would not enter the second assessment, let alone enter the academy.
.
The deacon in the academy approached and reported the results of the first round of assessment to Huan. Outside the martial arts field not far away, the remaining more than a thousand people were standing there alone, looking at those in the martial arts field with admiration.
People feasted happily.
I just regret that I can't run faster.
"Well, bring out the food as well and let everyone eat first."
He was not in a hurry to comment on the more than a thousand people, and nodded. As for the more than a thousand people, although they were not able to enter the academy, they were only a little short.
But there is no way, there are only these places in the academy, and the difference is just a tiny bit, but it is a thousand miles away. Maybe that's what I mean, with a wave of my hand, hundreds of pots of food are carried out from the academy.
These people are equally outstanding. They were eliminated in the academy, but they still have advantages over ordinary soldiers. It is easier to stand out in the army.
"Here."
The deacon nodded in response.
"Ma Xing really couldn't bear to see those people's disappointed looks."
Maybe those people don't know very well what kind of place is in the Academy, but it doesn't stop them from knowing that it is an absolutely good place. Now that they can't enter it, maybe they will be disturbed after returning home.
words.
To a certain extent, he can be regarded as a strange loser. When I left Zhao State, I also felt this way, and I unconsciously feel the same way today.
"For them, it may not be a test."
"Wu Zhenhou once said many times in the academy that failure is not terrible, but failure is constant. Decades ago, Qi State was almost destroyed by Yan State, but Qi State was able to fight back. This is why Qi State was able to fight back."
"Deputy Prime Minister, after they have eaten enough, you can take them back to Yongdu with the documents. The King of Words has other important uses."
Huan also sighed softly. The last time he defeated Zhao, he suffered a hundred times or a thousand times more disappointment than they did. However, he has survived now. They are still young and have plenty of opportunities.
Then he took out a volume of documents from his arms, handed it to the deputy prime minister next to him, and whispered instructions.
"Here!"
The deputy prime minister bowed his hands and left.
Orders were issued one after another, and as more than a thousand people not far away left, only two thousand people were left in the entire martial arts field. At this moment, they were still eating heavily, thinking about the second test that was coming.
If you pass the second assessment, you will really enter the academy.
Is there also a physical fitness test?
Or is it something else?
For two thousand people, there is no attributive.
Half an hour later, everything in the martial arts arena had been removed. Although the smell in the entire venue was a bit weird, it didn't matter, and it wasn't the point.
The point is, the second assessment will begin shortly.
"Hey, are you still there?"
Accompanied by the words of the people from the academy around the martial arts arena, the two thousand people gathered together again. After the rest and recovery just now, their physical strength has been almost restored, and each one of them kept burping in their mouths.
Lin and Zhuang stood together and looked towards the high platform. The second assessment was about to come out. They looked around casually and saw that they were the same as the two of them. Then, Lin seemed to find an acquaintance.
It was the person I met in the martial arts field at the beginning, the one who was very enthusiastic towards the two of them.
"Uh..., it's still there."
The young man who arrived from a wealthy family looked a little embarrassed. After the previous six rounds, his body was full of stench. He had just eaten a lot of eggs and fat sheep beef in one go.
More importantly, I was almost eliminated. Seeing that the two people beside me who came from the remote countryside were still there, the remaining sense of superiority in my heart disappeared unconsciously.
"I am Baitong in Longxi. What do you call me?"
He bowed his hand and bowed. After all, he was also an old scholar from Longxi, but in the past hundred years or so, the old scholar's life had not been easy. On this occasion, it would be great if he could enter the palace.
"Are you from the Mengxi Bai tribe in Longxi?"
"My name is Lin, his name is Zhuang, and we are from Xiahe Village, Hanzhong."
The Bai Tong of Longxi had a name and a surname. He was obviously not an ordinary person. Ordinary people did not have a surname, only a given name. A look of surprise flashed across the forest face. Could it be that he was the Mengxi Bai tribe of Longxi among the old Qin people.
Decades ago, Wu'an Lord Bai Qi was from the Mengxi Bai clan. For a moment, he felt a sense of awe for no reason.
"Lin, the adult in front spoke again."
Regarding Bai Tong, Zhuang had a general feeling for him, and could feel that the other party looked down on the two of them. He snorted lightly, pulled Lin, and pointed with one hand to the high platform in front, where General Huan Shang had appeared again.
"oh."
Lin smiled innocently at Bai Tong and turned his attention to the high platform in front of him.
Bai Tong didn't mind. The matter at hand was to enter the academy. If the two of them could break into the academy, they would have many opportunities to meet in the future.
"Next, you will be assessed by hundreds of people every time you enter the academy. The results of the assessment will determine whether you can enter the academy."
"It's noon now and it's getting late. You don't have to think too much about it. The second test is very simple. It's just talking."
According to the instructions of Marquis Wu Zhen, the last 1,080 places must be selected before the end of the application period today. There are still more than two hours to go, so it is already quite urgent.
To put it bluntly, there are specialized personnel in the academy who conduct the selection. The selection is based on the counties and counties of Qin State, the personnel of each county, or the information in the academy is sorted and selected.
There were a total of fifty small rooms on one side of the entrance to the entire academy, and a hundred people entered in batches. Those who entered the academy did not take a closer look at everything in the academy, but just entered the small wooden rooms one after another.
Inside.
There is a receipt, a blanket in the back, a futon in the front, and teachers, deacons, etc. who have come to the nine major courtyards are sitting in the small rooms. There are stacks of visitor information from major counties and counties on the receipt.
.
"Where are you from? What is your name?"
Looking at the slightly disheveled young man in front of him, the teacher smiled slightly and asked softly.
"Yunyang County, Guanzhong! I am Wu Han!"
The young man was a little nervous, but he still answered.
"Why did you come to the Great Qin Protectorate Academy?"
The teacher flipped through the list of Guanzhong County and Yunyang County on the table, compared it briefly, nodded slightly, and asked again.
"I..., is it true that if you stay in the academy for three years, you can get a knighthood?"
The man's expression paused, he thought for a moment, and then asked inquiringly.
"Of course, you are here for the title you will receive in three years' time? In three years' time, you will join the army and become a centurion. How do you think you should make them obey as soon as possible?"
The teacher smiled back. There was nothing shameful about coming here for the title. The conversation changed and he asked another question.
"This, with military orders in hand, they will naturally obey!"
The man thought for a while and then responded.
"Do you think Qin can conquer the six kingdoms of Shandong?"
The teacher asked again.
"Of course, the old Qin people can certainly wipe out the Shandong countries one by one. I don't know, I will also be able to achieve some military success by then."
They talked a lot with each other, and felt a little relieved. The man responded affirmatively.
"What is the highest position you can achieve in the army in the future? Colonel? Partial general? Chief general? Front and rear general? Or general?"
While listening, the teacher filled in the person's information with a pen and filled in the answers to the person's information, and then said the last question.
"In the future... I will be satisfied if I become a general in the army."
The man responded slightly shyly. The general himself didn't dare to think about it, but the general could still think about it.
"Okay, you can go out now."
The teacher nodded and asked a few questions. He didn't think anything was wrong, and he didn't know why the higher-ups in the academy set such questions.
