Chapter 251: Helpless (Second Update)
Three days later, the assessment officially began. The assessment location is in Yingdu.
The questions on the weekends are all very simple calculation questions, and since people in the Warring States period have not learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the difficulty of his exam questions is only equivalent to that of elementary school.
The content of the test is how many questions the candidate can answer correctly in the specified time, and the test is the sensitivity of these people to mathematics. After the exam papers were handed in, some seals were made.
This assessment mimics the imperial examination system. Those examiners were all tent gentlemen who were temporarily selected on weekends. For them, abacus is just a matter of routine. And he also gave the answer, and he can quickly change it according to the answer.
After this assessment, all the personnel will be admitted on the weekend and let them follow the merchant group sent out to be the bookkeeper. In addition, he will also conduct some additional assessments, strive for excellence, and select the branch head of the firm.
As for those in charge or something, you can make a decision after observing their abilities.
By the afternoon of the next day, all the exam papers had been marked. On the weekend, let the tent gentlemen bring up some of the examination papers that have passed the examination without opening the envelope. Then let the civil servants divide into two groups.
One group is responsible for opening the paper and reading the names, and a group is responsible for recording the names of the candidates who have passed the assessment.
The way in which the list was finalized was on short notice over the weekend, and no second person was known beforehand. Even his close ministers, Cheng Jia and Qin Qian, were unaware of this process, which greatly reduced the possibility of cheating.
These candidates who pass the examination will have them train for a while on the weekend, and then they will be sent out gradually and quietly infiltrated into other countries.
Chu Guo suddenly quieted down, and everything was the same as usual. Those countries that have been watching no matter how much they inquire, do not know where these candidates end up. The sudden calm only unnerved them. Some countries really couldn't sit still, so they found an excuse to send an envoy to Chu.
First of all, Qi was the first to send an envoy.
"The envoy of the Qi State has arrived?" I didn't care about the sending of envoys to the Qi country over the weekend. The whereabouts of those candidates are top secret.
In the entire Chu State, apart from him, only Cheng Jia and Qin Qian knew. If there is really a little leak, it is undoubtedly the two of them who did it. They have a great future in the Chu State, and there is no need to take this risk to tell others. When the envoys of Qi came, they could only return empty-handed.
When the envoys of the State of Qi arrived in the State of Chu, they began to visit everywhere. Cheng Jia and Qin Qian, the two of them, were particularly diligent in moving around. However, every time the Qi envoy gave a gift or said something, Cheng Jia and Qin Qian would tell him one by one.
The envoys of the State of Qi ran around in Yingdu for half a month and did not hear anything.
Soon after, the envoys of Yan and Qin arrived in Yingdu successively.
The envoys of the Qin State contacted Ying Shu through various channels.
Ying Shu immediately said to the messenger: "I have married a Chu woman, and I am already a Chu person. Don't say that I don't know anything about politics, and even if I do, I won't reveal half a word. ”
The messenger relayed Yingshu's original words to the envoys of the Qin State.
I don't know which one started. The relationship between the envoys of Qin, Qi, and Yan suddenly became very good, and they often did not know where to discuss behind closed doors.
Yan Envoy looked at Qin Envoy and said, "Master Wu, you have been in Chu for the longest time, so you haven't found anything?" ”
"During the time I came to Chu, they have always entertained me with good wine and food. Wherever I went, the ministers of Chu also greeted me with smiles. If you ask them, they don't know anything. ”
"Cheng Jia and Qin Qian, don't you know?" Who in the world doesn't know that the two of them are the celebrities in front of King Zhuang.
Qin Envoy shook his head. "You two have dealt with them as well. The two men kept their mouths as close as river mussels, and they couldn't ask anything at all. ”
"Don't worry! Let's think about it. The state of Chu is so powerful now. King Chu Zhuang must have had some purpose in engaging in such a big battle before, and it is very likely that it will be unfavorable to us. ”
"Yes! The rise of the state of Chu was too fast. If King Zhuang really wants to do something to us, we are simply powerless. ”
Pitchers have ears. What they were talking about in the room was listened to by the spies at the pole without saying a word.
Qin Qian reported the matter to the weekend.
The weekend just laughed it off. "They know what I want to do, do they want to turn things around?" He destroyed the Jin State, and the current Chu State is several times larger than other countries in terms of land area and number of soldiers, and even the weapons are much stronger than them.
He bothered to carry out commercial infiltration, but he just wanted to reduce the casualties of the Chu State. Achieve maximum benefits with the least cost. Otherwise, he would have gathered his troops and horses to kill the nations.
The envoys of Yan, Qi, and Qin spent several months in the state of Chu, but found nothing, and it was really difficult to stay any longer, so they had to go back to their lives in disgrace.
The king of Qin summoned the returning envoys to the court.
Knowing that the envoy didn't hear anything, his daughter Yingshu actually refused to see the people he sent.
Suddenly annoyed and angry, he walked around like a mad leopard, and his chest couldn't stop rising and falling in anger. "How can it be justified? How do I love her on weekdays, and how long has it been since I got married, my heart has been towards King Zhuang.
It's all because of her mother's concubine, so she will ignore the request of her home country. came, stripped Mrs. Xin's title, and was demoted to a low-level palace maid. ”
After speaking, King Qin was greatly relieved.
The ministers gasped.
"Oh no, my lord!" An old minister walked out tremblingly.
"Why not?" King Qin said angrily. He wanted to abolish a concubine in the harem, and the minister actually jumped out to oppose it, and it was against the sky!
"King, because of the relationship between Princess Shu, our relationship with the Chu State has finally eased. If Princess Shu's mother is disposed of, Princess Shu may be resentful. Instigated King Zhuang to attack our Qin State. "If this is the case, wouldn't it be a stone to shoot herself in the foot when she sent Princess Shu to Chu State.
"She dares!" King Qin was so angry that his muscles burst out.
"Even if Princess Shu doesn't have this mind, if the villain instigates King Chu Zhuang and asks him to vent his anger on Princess Shu, King Chu Zhuang may also send troops to attack Qin." The powerful Jin kingdom was destroyed by the Chu state. The strength of the Qin State is not as good as that of the Jin State, and if the Chu State does not call, the Qin State will only follow in the footsteps of the Jin State.
"King Zhuang has always acted mysteriously, and I'm afraid the plot is not small. Maybe they're already beating my Qin State's idea. ”
"Even so, we can't hit the muzzle of the gun." Now everything is just speculation, there is no need to be stupid enough to offend the Chu State at this time and give the Chu State a reason to invade the Qin State.
King Qin's mind calmed down. "So what should we do?"
"Wait and see."
King Qin smiled bitterly, his strength was not as good as that of people. That's all there is to it. Alas! The situation is stronger than people, who is not the one who rises Qin State.
