I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 125 The Disappointed Prospective Craftsman Examination ([-])

Clang clang clang clang clang...

Clank!Clank!
Clank clang clang...

Wang Ge raised his face slightly, and his forehead hurt from the sound of blacksmithing sound followed by the blacksmith's test preparation area on the east side.

Boom!
The nearest big drum was suddenly hammered. She took a deep breath, persuaded herself to calm down, and stuffed the cloth balls in her ears and eyes again.

"Zhixiang, Li...can't read." The examinee with hammer and drum blushed, but few people around him actually looked at him.

"Loud!" You Yan roared louder than drums.

Boom!The drums in the test preparation area of ​​Xunxi Township, which is a little farther away, rang again, at least three times more frequently than the test preparation area of ​​Wuzhi Township, which was the second-to-last most illiterate.

"Xunxi Township... I don't know..."

"Loud!"

"Xun hehe..."

"Don't be ashamed, you still have a smile on your face, disqualify yourself from the exam, and blast out of the exam preparation area!"

On the west side, there is only a wide road into the city, which is the preparation area for the township military competition.

Tap, tap, tap... The sound of the horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust.

"Shoot, hurry, turn, turn... good!"

The cavalry and archery practice of the township soldiers can last for twelve hours a day!Yes, the day field and the night practice field alternate. Wang Ge has been here for more than a day, and he has never been quiet for a moment when he rode the shooting field and arrived at the field!
The corner is adjacent to the riding and shooting range to the south.It was divided into several small competition fields, and the onlookers in each competition field had three floors inside and three floors outside, mixed with applause and cursing, howling as if today is the end!
In addition to the discomfort in his ears, Wang Ge could really feel his face swell. It has only been fourteen hours since he came to the test preparation area yesterday and this evening.
She seldom swears in her past and present lives, but this time she really wants to scold, who arranged the examination room for the carpenter category and skillful skills between the village soldier competition and the blacksmith examination room?who is it?Is it a special test for carpenter candidates?Or deliberately torture?
Boom!
The "Famous Drum of the Township" set by Xunqi Township imitated it again.

Dang bang bang bang bang bang... Some craftsmen shaking rattle drums also came again.They were craftsmen who had set up a craftsman's shop under the county government. One of them came to Wang Ge, frowning and asking loudly while shaking the rattle drum: "Chimu training ground! Are you going?"

Wang Ge quickly shook his head.

The government really knows how to make a profit. In the southernmost part of the test preparation area, a number of training grounds have been added. Each training ground is surrounded by felt cloth, and people outside cannot see inside.The training fee is [-] yuan an hour.

The "foot-wood training ground" mentioned by the person just now, the training content should be to imitate the first item of the exam "giant ruler marking".Wang Ge originally felt a little guilty about knowing the content of the exam in advance through the Xie Ju, but now it seems that, what is the difference between this and the public!
However, you can only enter the test preparation area and cannot leave it (unless you are eliminated in advance). Now that the test items are made public, it really doesn't do much good for the candidates.

The craftsmen at the training ground come every hour. I don't know if it is to let the candidates get used to the interference of the rattle in advance, or simply to prevent the candidates from resting. baring his teeth.

"Huh!" Wang Ge took another deep breath and looked at the wooden tablet in his hand.As soon as candidates enter the test preparation area, after checking all the bamboo cards, they will be issued a wooden slip of test rules written with densely packed official characters.Both the front and the back are fully written, without punctuation.

Candidates can only know the rules of the examination room through wooden slips. Those who are illiterate or uncertain about sentences can ask for help from craftsmen or tourists under the "Xiangminggu" in each township. Township name" sound.

It should be noted that the officials will only quickly explain the rules according to the wooden slips (Wang Ge seriously suspects that these people may not be able to read all the characters in the rules, but they have memorized them long ago), but how can the illiterate examinees remember?Therefore, candidates from Xunxi Township, the poorest and least educated, are waiting in line to play the drums. Of course, there are also the largest number of officials under the famous drums.

Boom, boom, boom... This drum is a kind of "timing drum", which urges candidates to go to get dinner.The kitchen is located under the thatch shed, and the stoves are movable ceramic stoves.For dinner, there are only slightly salty wheat cakes, but there is no limit to hot water.

Wang Ge went to the hut first, then got the wheat cakes, returned to the bedding to eat, and recited the rules of the examination room.Before entering the examination room, the wooden tablet will be taken back, so the rules must be memorized.

After dark, the camp basin was lit, and the fire was limited. She took off the cloth strips that plugged her ears, lay down under the quilt, covered her head, and considered the doubts in her heart.

There are too many candidates!Regardless of the quota held by the county government or the quota held by the aristocratic family, after entering the test preparation area, they must be based on the household registration at the time of the household registration check, and they are separated in the test preparation areas of each township and county.Only in the preparatory area for Zhixiang Township, Wang Ge roughly counted more than 120 people.Before entering the examination room on the [-]th, the number of people will definitely increase one after another.

So the sum of all the candidates should not exceed six hundred?
Only 50 people are admitted!With so many candidates eliminated, how did only the aristocratic family know the content of the exam?Still so detailed?For example, if Ah Shu has the opportunity to pass the exam in the future, can she not leak the content of the exam to Ah Shu?Another example is that Ah Shu is married, can you not leak the content of the exam to the needy clan members of your husband's family?

Wang Ge was turned over by the noise, and his ears felt more comfortable, so he put the cloth again and continued to think.Looking at it now, the test items of the craftsman test are all transparent, so why keep it secret?Taking a step back, to put it bluntly, Xie Shi can inquire about the test items, but Mr. Huan Lang can't?Mr. Huan Lang's cheeky cough...hasn't he revealed his eclectic style to her?
No, the more you think about it, the more wrong it becomes!
What Xie Shi told her may be true, but it is definitely not complete!The content of the test items definitely has other mysteries!
Wang Ge thought about it, and gradually fell asleep.It's not that she has a strong psychological quality, it's that she was so noisy last night that she basically didn't sleep, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

All kinds of imitation drums in the test preparation area are not as hateful as the "timing drum" method!Since the first update, every time an update is reported, all the drums are ringing together.

Wang Ge, who was so sleepy, didn't know whether he was really doing this when he was woken up, sat up, and lay down again, or it was like this in a dream.

In the second half of the night, the most hateful thing came!
In the township drill area on the east side, big fire circles were set up. Those with excellent riding skills rode their horses through the fire circles, and the onlookers counted for them.

As for the carpenter exam preparation area on her side, the candidates who just arrived today know that there will be this competition at night in the township soldier area?Everyone thought it was a fire, and they all jumped up and screamed. Wang Ge was so pitiful, he was stepped on, sat up sleepily, and lay down again.

After You Yan stopped drinking, coupled with the more and more clear counting sounds uploaded, these candidates were no longer afraid, and began to stretch their necks to wait and see.

"One, two, three, four, five... Brave men!" There are ten fire circles in total, from big to small, and anyone who can ride a horse across five fire circles will be praised as a brave man by the village soldiers.

"One, two... Whoops, save someone!"

"One...haha!"

Those who play, no matter whether they can reach the brave man level or not, will not be ridiculed.The onlookers knew in their hearts that they were watching because they didn't even dare to try.

As they shouted in unison, a brave man who leaped seven rings of fire appeared!

After the onlookers were excited, they commented: "Which township is this young man from? Why are there such small township soldiers?"

"You don't know? They are different from us. After they pass the village soldier competition, they have to fight more to win the 'guard boy' spot. Don't ask, it has nothing to do with village soldiers like you and me."

The young country soldier they talked about was Wang Tian.In fact, he could still ride the horse, but his hair was loose and he was roasted by the fire.While he was still on the horse, Huan Zhen poured the prepared two buckets of water on them one by one.

Wang Tian's wet hair covered his face, he pushed aside the slit, swallowed and said, "Brother Huan, I'm suddenly greedy for roast sheep."
