Wei Zhongxian did overestimate himself a little. He wrote all morning, but he couldn't hold back a few words, but he ran out of paper. In desperation, he had to order his servants to go out and buy paper.
However, the servant went around Beijing to buy paper, and when he came back he said... all the places that sell paper in Beijing are out of stock, and it will take two days to arrive. There is a place where I can buy it, but
The price is more expensive than usual, and you have to compete with a group of Vulcan Cult members.
Wei Zhongxian was very puzzled and murmured: "It's okay if this paper is a little more expensive. Why are you trying to rob it with people from the Vulcan Cult?"
The servant said: "Master Wei, I heard that the Vulcan Sect is doing an assessment of writing names, so the paper in Beijing suddenly disappeared, and it is very expensive where it is sold. It is said that the person who gave the assessment questions is some kind of fire
God, oh, it’s Ma Xiaoquan.”
"Damn it, I'm just saying that all this paper is gone. We've been making trouble for a long time and it was all snatched up by Ma Xiaoquan's stupid Vulcan cult members. No, no matter how much money you spend today, you have to buy it for me."
Wei Zhongxian issued a death order to his subordinates.
"Yes, Mr. Wei!"
...
Among the members of the Vulcan Cult who were assessed, those who had written their names correctly had already handed in the paper with ease and comfort, while the vast majority of the members who had written their names incorrectly or simply couldn't write their names were as anxious as
It's an ant on a hot pot.
Since there is only one place to sell paper and there are so many people buying paper, the assessment time is only one hour. If you cannot complete the assessment task within the limited time, you will be eliminated.
Seeing the time passing by, some people with quick minds asked people in the city who could write to help them write for them. They thought it was smart to do so, but in fact, in the sudden appearance of these "
Some of the "ghostwriters" are "supervisors" arranged by Ma Xiaoquan in advance.
...
In the headmaster's room of the Vulcan Cult, Ma Xiaoquan was flipping through the information page in his hand while listening to Shui Ling'er's report. After a while, Ma Xiaoquan put down the information page and said with a smile: "This time, we
But I made a lot of money."
On the other side, Xiao Rong smiled and said: "Captain, you are too... that, but captain, you have increased the price of paper in the capital, and now some stores are offering
The inventory at the bottom of the box is sold at a higher price than ours. People say that Luoyang paper is more expensive, but now it is true that Jingcheng paper is more expensive."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said, "Really? Capital paper is more expensive, interesting, interesting."
"Also...Wei Zhongxian doesn't know why, but he also sent his subordinates to buy paper."
"Huh? Wei Zhongxian doesn't know a few characters in Douda, so why is he buying writing paper?"
Xiao Rong shook his head: "I don't know, but I bought a lot. Captain, look, should we pay attention to Wei Zhongxian?"
"Of course, this time the assessment has caused such a big commotion, some of the officials in the capital must have noticed it. In fact, maybe someone has already written a memorial and wants to participate in my Ma Xiaoquan."
"Ah, what should I do?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "It's okay. King Xin is blocking us in front, so we don't have to worry too much. Well, how much time is left for the written examination?"
"Well, it's almost like a moment, right?"
"Well, how many exam papers have you received?"
"I did some statistics before and found that there are about 1,400 copies."
"Oh, it seems that the number of people who finally submitted the test will not exceed 1,600. It has been reduced from 2,300 to 1,600. Well, I am still very satisfied with this elimination rate."
"Captain, what are the supervisors you sent out... going to do?"
"Haha, those supervisors are not here to catch cheaters. Their only purpose is to help me increase the elimination rate, haha!"
"Ah, captain, you are so insidious!" several team members couldn't help but say.
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp: "I can't help it. I invested a lot of money in the Vulcan Cult before, why should I take it back now? Besides, your captain, I am not just playing on a whim. This fire
I have to put a lot of effort into building this divine religion."
"Oh, I understand..." Team member Lulu, who seldom spoke, suddenly realized, "Captain, do you... want to divide the Vulcan Cult into different factions, just like other
Is it the same as religion?"
"No, no, no..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his finger at Lulu, "The Vulcan Sect was established by Qing Han, and I want to build the Vulcan Sect into a mysterious and powerful sect. Since
To become strong, there must be a division of labor. The eleven of you who have won will also be incorporated into the Vulcan Cult later. As an extremely hidden team, my ace team! A unique team for my use.
.”
When all the team members heard Ma Xiaoquan say "ace team", their eyes lit up and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoquan stood up, clapped his hands and said, "The time is almost up. Let's pass the order and collect the papers. Those who haven't turned in the papers will be eliminated on the spot. Those who turned in will be let Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai count the final number of people who passed the test.
"
All the team members shouted in unison: "Yes!"
...
Finally, the results of the competition and assessment were handed over to Ma Xiaoquan by Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai in the evening.
Ma Xiaoquan picked up the statistical results and took a look at them. He pretended to be surprised and looked at Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai, and asked: "A total of...less than nine hundred people? So few?"
The two looked at each other, and Zhang Sheng said first: "Master, although some people wrote, but later I saw that they wrote wrong. There is no other way. I can only let them go home."
"Oh, that's it. Have you comforted everyone who has gone home?"
"Everyone has been appeased. Two taels of silver per person is enough for them to eat and drink for two months."
"Well, you did a good job!" Ma Xiaoquan stood up, walked forward, and patted the two of them heavily on the shoulders.
Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai were so flattered that they knelt down and said in unison: "It is our honor to do our best for the leader and the Vulcan Sect!"
"Very good!" Ma Xiaoquan admired Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai's loyalty very much. Although such people did not have much education, they carried out their orders very well. Judging from Ma Xiaoquan's years of experience, these two people can
Give some important responsibilities.
"You guys go down first. You've been tired for a long day. Go to the accounting room and collect ten taels of silver each!"
The two were overjoyed and knelt down again before slowly leaving.
...
Shortly after Zhang Sheng and Hu Cai left, Li Yao, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared.
Seeing Li Yao, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Li Yao, how are you recovering?"
Li Yao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, stepped forward and knelt in front of him, saying: "Ma Xiaoquan, from now on, I, Li Yao, will be your subordinate!"
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward to help Li Yao up and looked at him with some confusion: "Li Yao, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yao blushed and said: "Ma...oh no, I will also call you the leader. Leader, I...I want to marry...girl Shui'er."
