Xu asked why he didn't dare to speak.

He could see at a glance that their quota was obtained by unconventional means, which showed that this kind of thing was definitely not the first time, but an unspoken rule.

Unspoken rules are things that can only be said under the table.

Now that the public is in public, he also saw the middle-aged people who looked like examiners not far away, if Dongdu Muxuan continued to talk, he would either not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, or he would be a fool.

But judging from his previous behavior, he is neither of these people.

Sure enough, the man glanced to the side, snorted his lips for a long time without saying a word, and his momentum immediately weakened.

The other candidates next to him were waiting for him to explain, and found that he suddenly stopped talking, and they all looked at him suspiciously.

"If you're chasing the wind, it's better to be careful. Xu Wen said lightly and beckoned the people from Yao's Mufang to walk away.

After one another, the apprentices of the Yao Clan's Wooden Workshop unconsciously straightened their backs, raised their heads, and their expressions were no longer as cringe as before.

Xu Wen noticed this, smiled, and whispered: "Whoever has the ability to do this kind of thing should be on the job." Master has won a place for us, and we are worthy of him if we pass the exam!"

He quietly changed his concept, the apprentices nodded heavily, and Xu San stammered, "Yes...... Yes, we have passed the test, and they will know that I really have it, and we have the ability!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The peasant children were simple-minded, and their thoughts were taken away by Xu Wen and Xu San at once.

Their mentality yesterday was more just "give it a try", but now, the desire to pass the county test is suddenly much more urgent.

A group of people came to the gate of the county office, and occasionally someone next to them smelled the stench and looked over in confusion. But they looked at it as if there was no such thing. As a result, the other party rubbed his nose and thought he was mistaken.

The time soon came, and the two military officials at the gate of the county government stood up, checked their number plates, and let them in.

The candidates were honest, rushed in, and arrived at the examination room familiarly, and everyone was stunned.

Yesterday, the examination room was lined up with wooden houses, which were their examination rooms. But now, in one night, all the wooden houses have been demolished, and all that remains is a whole square paved with bluestone slabs.

This was originally the school yard of the county government, and when you look up, it is full of walls and battlements, and the sergeants above are heavily armored, reflecting the cold light in the sun.

The candidates were suddenly a little nervous, shrunk their heads and didn't dare to ask, careful as quails.

"Excuse me, my lord, the examination room is gone, where should we take the exam?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly raised, clear as the wind, attracting all eyes.

That slightly childish baby face is known to many people here, and it is Qi Kun of Yue Mu Xuan. He was as calm as his neighbors and friends as he was to these sergeants.

"Wait here for a while, and an adult will come and explain it later. The sergeant's expression seemed much softer to him.

"Thank you. Qi Kun thanked politely and calmly stood aside.

With such an explanation, the candidates were also reassured. They stood huddled next to each other, and several people standing next to Qi Kun hesitated to talk to him. Qi Kun will reply when he has something to say, and his attitude is very modest.

Xu Wen stood far away and took everything in his eyes.

"Hypocrites. Lu Cheng glanced over there, and his tone was not good.

Xu Wen didn't speak, his brows furrowed slightly.

It didn't take long for the door across the school grounds to open, and a group of people walked out of it.

It was a group of middle-aged and elderly craftsmen, and at a glance, you could tell that they were all at the master level. When they came in, they stood in silence opposite the candidates and stood in a row.

"Mom, it feels like my master is standing on the other side and looking at me......" Lu Cheng muttered quietly beside him.

Lian Tianqing is a master who is completely different from others, but looking at the serious expressions of these masters on the other side, Xu Wen said that he can understand his feelings very well.

A moment later, Zhu Gantang and Song Qin also walked out of the door.

The craftsmen made a way for them and saluted them.

The candidates unconsciously became solemn and looked at the three nervously.

Zhu Gantang walked to the center of the two teams, clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhu Gantang, and I am honored to be the chief examiner of this 100-work examination. ”

He was modest, and the candidates relaxed a lot.

"Hydraulic work is a group work, and most of it requires multi-party cooperation to complete. The main responsibility of an apprentice is to assist the master in his work. Today, we ask you to cooperate with the master to complete a big job together. After that, we rate the overall work. The total score will be distributed to the participating candidates one by one by the leading master as the final score. ”

He turned around, hugged his fists at those masters again, and said, "Today there will be all the masters." ”

The masters said they didn't dare and returned the salute one after another.

Xu Wen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the second round of exams would be teamwork.

However, it is reasonable to think about it, except for a few small pieces, a lot of the work of craftsmen requires a team to complete, which is also one of the meanings of the existence of an organization like Ziyi Club.

In particular, in an examination like the Hundred Workers Examination, it is not a small craftsman who works behind closed doors, but a group of workers who can participate in or organize large-scale construction work, and it is very reasonable to set such rules.

Teamwork, individual coordination and participation in the group are very important.

I don't know which one these ancient craftsmen valued more......

In addition to this, there is a very crucial part.

Teamwork can't be done alone, and teammates are important. How are the teammates selected for this exam?

Was it a random selection by the master, or did he act in an organized manner?

Zhu Gantang was quick to get to this point.

"The composition of the team is based on a recommendation system. First, an apprentice is randomly selected, and this apprentice picks another apprentice, and so on, and finally a team of fifty people forms a team. If one person is recommended by more than one person, the person will be selected. ”

Zhu Gantang looked around, and his words were full of deep meaning, "It is up to you to decide whether to choose or be chosen." ”

It's a bit amazing!

Between the lightning and flint, Xu Wen understood what Zhu Gantang meant.

Each person is only qualified to recommend one person, so who to recommend and who not to recommend, this is particular. When a person is recommended by several people, choose the strong one or the one with good relationships? This is also very particular.

This is a test of one's usual relationships with other people, as well as the choices made at critical moments.

In other words, from the beginning of the selection of candidates, the exam has actually begun!

"Great. Fifty people, we can all be together. Xu San said happily.

As soon as he was happy, he stopped stammering.

"Yes, yes, we'll recommend one after another, let's talk about who pushes who first, and sign up directly when we go up!" Qian Ming nodded again and again.

It didn't take long for them all to be assigned, and they would go up and report whose name they were in a while.

Lu Cheng's eyes rolled, he pulled Xu Wen aside, and asked in a low voice: "Twenty-one of us must be together, but what about the remaining twenty-nine?"

He has his own reasons, "The small workshops come one by one, and they can't get together, and they won't fight with us." And their ability is limited, so they won't be too conspicuous to compare us. ”

Xu Wen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's good." ”

"Why?"

"The small workshops are too scattered and won't compete with us for dominance, but it's not easy to manage. The big workshops are organized, and as long as they are discussed, it will be easier to cooperate. Xu Wen said with certainty, "The total score is high, and the score assigned to everyone's head will be high!"

"Well, that makes sense......" Lu Cheng admitted.

"As for who will compare whom...... As long as we behave well, who knows what will happen next?" Xu Wen smiled.

Lu Cheng was persuaded by him, and Xu San and the others heard Xu Wen's judgment and expressed no opinion.

So now it's up to you to decide who to turn to.

There were twenty-one of them now, and there were twenty-nine left, no more, no less, exactly the whole of a fourth-level workshop plus nine fifth-level workshops.

They quickly selected the target, the fourth-level Qinglian Workshop.

The name of this workshop is very nice, and the members seem to have a more generous personality.

Lu Cheng remembered very well that when he was at the gate of the Ziyi Club before, only their people showed sympathetic expressions.

After Xu Wen heard his reasons and agreed with his decision, Lu Cheng's happy expression was directly revealed from his face.

He didn't pay attention to it himself, and unconsciously, when Zhou Zhicheng was away, the candidates in the entire Yao Clan's Mufang were dominated by Xu Wen.

Xu Wen went to find the people in the Qinglian Workshop with Lu Cheng, and the other party was a little surprised, thought for a moment, and accepted their invitation.

The two sides summed up for a while, and together they determined the remaining nine people.

They have aspirations together, and they all choose less conspicuous ones that seem to be more honest and kind.

Xu Wen and the person named Meng Tong from the Qinglian Workshop went to contact these nine people, and the communication went smoothly, and everyone looked flattered, and nodded their heads again and again in agreement.

The examiners seemed to deliberately set aside time for them to contact in advance, and after a pillar of incense, the sound of the rock sounded, and Zhu Gantang clapped his palms together, and said loudly: "Now start the selection of personnel and form a team!"

In the sound of the rock, the audience was silent, and one person walked in front of Zhu Gantang with a tray.
