Xiao Rong looked at Ma Xiaoquan, thinking that the captain was going to kill someone, so he quickly waved his hand to persuade: "Captain, I'm afraid this is not good, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Xiao Rong, do you think that the purge I am talking about means killing people? You are wrong. I just want to expel those bastards in the religion. "
"Deport? How to expel? Captain, if you expel rashly, some people will definitely be dissatisfied, and chaos is more likely to occur."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "That's why I asked Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai to pass on the order and tell those people that I want to take an assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will get money. If you fail the assessment, you will quit teaching."
"Is this okay?"
"Of course, otherwise they think our Vulcan Cult is a free market? Come and leave whenever we say?"
"Well, okay then, Captain, what do you need me to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan grinned and said, "Go and call Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai. I have something to say to them..."
...
At noon the next day, all the congregants received the assessment order from Ma Xiaoquan.
Some unconvinced members came to Ma Xiaoquan to ask for a theory. Ma Xiaoquan didn't explain much. He only gave one sentence, either stay for assessment or leave now. The Vulcan Cult cannot support idlers.
Some congregants who felt that they were veterans felt that what Ma Xiaoquan did was excessive, so they got together with another group of congregants and started arguing with Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan simply expelled the troublemakers from the church.
There were still some people who resisted at first, but as more and more people were expelled, the congregants gradually became quiet. The reason was very simple. During this period, Ma Xiaoquan asked Hu Cai to spread a rumor, that is, as long as the number of people was smaller,
, the people who stay are likely to get more money in the end.
As soon as this rumor spread, the church members became quiet. No one was stupid. Even if they were angry, there was absolutely no way they could have trouble with money, right?
...
In the afternoon, Ma Xiaoquan asked Shui Ling'er to make a preliminary count, and the number of people found was one-fifth less than before.
There are three parts to the assessment, the first is a written test, the second is a physical test, and the third is an interview.
Most of the people in the Vulcan Cult were illiterate. When they heard that the first item was a written test, everyone was confused. When everyone was at a loss, Ma Xiaoquan arranged for Zhang Sheng to secretly spread the assessment content of the written test.
go out.
After learning about the content of the assessment, the congregants instantly relaxed a lot. It turned out that Ma Xiaoquan's so-called written examination did not require them to write a lengthy essay like a scientific examination. The content he wanted to assess was just for each congregant to write.
Just put your name down.
In the study room of the Vulcan Sect's house, Shui Ling'er and other members of the Victory Eleven were all present, except for Li Qinghan. The girls were lined up on both sides of the desk, standing neatly in two rows.
No one quite understood why Ma Xiaoquan asked the congregants to write their own names. Ma Xiaoquan explained with a smile: "Not many of them are literate. If they were asked to write something, I guess they wouldn't be able to write it for three days."
If there is something, instead of doing this, let them write their names. Well, each person has a small piece of paper. The name can only be written once. If it is written correctly, keep it. If it is written incorrectly, go home.
So simple."
"Ah? Captain, didn't you just say that most of them are illiterate? If they can't write correctly, they all go home. Wouldn't that mean the number of followers will be much smaller?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled sinisterly: "This is the effect I want. Although they are illiterate, they can't even write their own names. How bad is this? People, no matter what, this name was given by my parents.
It is said that parents who are affected by body and skin have the same name. I don’t even remember what my parents gave me. What use do I have with them? By the way, I have something to settle with you. You go out now and take care of the whole of Beijing.
Buy me all the writing paper in the city, and then... hehe... remember, you have to do it secretly, the sooner the better!"
After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's order, the girls all pursed their lips and chuckled.
...
Early on the third day, inside the Vulcan Sect's residence.
Ma Xiaoquan held the census book in his hand and took a rough look at the number of people registered.
The number of believers counted yesterday was less than 2,300, except for those who were expelled in advance by Ma Xiaoquan and those who left on their own.
It was impossible for more than 2,300 people to gather in the house, so before that, Ma Xiaoquan rented several houses as temporary examination rooms.
Since I am just writing my name, there is no such thing as plagiarism. Those who can write and write quickly will pick up the pen and finish writing their names in two swipes. Those who cannot write or even cannot read will look around.
Look, there are even people who directly ask people who can write to write for them.
However, as long as this person is nervous, he will inevitably make mistakes. Since Ma Xiaoquan only gave each member of the congregation a small piece of paper, if he made a mistake, he would be out of paper. If he turned in no paper, he would be eliminated.
No one wants to be eliminated like this, and no one wants to be eliminated in such a humiliating way. Those who wrote wrong words or other words thought of a good way. Since there is only one piece of paper, if you make a mistake, then
Spend your own money to buy a few more sheets to write on. Anyway, the assessment time is only one hour, so why not just write two or three words? What's so difficult about this?
Just go ahead and do it. Most of the churchgoers ran into groups of three or five to buy new paper.
However, when they hurriedly arrived at the paper store to inquire, they were told by the store that all the paper had been sold out, and if they wanted it, they would have to wait for about two or three days.
Time waits for no one. The assessment time set by Fire God Master Ma Xiaoquan is only one hour. If you don't complete it, you will definitely have to leave.
At this time, someone got the news that there was paper for sale somewhere in the city, but the price was a bit expensive.
Everyone thinks about passing the exam, but who will consider the price of paper? In an instant, they rush to buy paper.
...
While Ma Xiaoquan was taking assessments, Wei Zhongxian was also busy with his own work at home.
Wei Zhongxian was very depressed because of the large amount of money he had lost in the Vulcan Cult. Since he had no reason to confront Ma Xiaoquan, he had no choice but to direct all his anger at Zhang Tianhao.
The loser Wang Tigan suggested that Mr. Wei should practice calligraphy to calm down. Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes at him. Wang Tigan thought he was going to be scolded, but to his surprise, Wei Zhongxian readily agreed.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian felt very inferior because he was illiterate, so although he was a little repelled by Wang Tiqian's proposal, he did not reject it.
Just practice what he said, Wei Zhongxian ordered his servants to take out all the writing paper at home. Paper was not valuable anyway. If the writing was damaged, he could just buy a new one after he finished writing.
