After the long-distance running exam, two dark horses appeared. One is Mai Dong, who is tied for first place with Dugumou, and the other is the unexpected Pei Xingjian, who should have sprinted from more than 700 to 102 from behind, which made everyone suddenly blinded. Originally, he thought that strength was the weakness of this young man, but now he has actually achieved excellent results. According to the rules, the top 200 are excellent, 200 to 400 are good, and 400 to 600 are passing, and as for the last 400, that is failing. But Pei Xingjian passed, and he was still in an excellent position, which was obviously unexpected by everyone.

After passing the physical assessment, it is time to conduct the cultural assessment. And the cultural class exam is difficult to kill countless people, especially those with a low level of education. However, the one who is not afraid of the cultural class exam is the staff department, and their cultural level is very good, and there is no problem. And Pei Xingjian is not worried about this problem, because his previous cultural courses in Hongwenguan are definitely not learned in vain. At that time, he was able to obtain the teachings of famous teachers and Confucians, and his understanding of some cultural words and sentences was not difficult for him at all. So, this time he wasn't worried at all.

Soon, the questions for the exam were sent down. Those other majors get something about filling in the text, and they have to fill in the appropriate words according to the words, which is called fill-in-the-blank questions. Or to understand the meaning of a sentence, and this sentence is mainly extracted from military terminology, so that they can judge the meaning of this sentence and avoid misunderstanding military orders. As for the rest, it's some understanding of new words. These are mainly examination papers for those who have a relatively low level of literacy.

However, when it came to these exam papers of the staff department, the instructor who issued the papers showed a smile in his mouth, obviously these exam papers were not ordinary.

"Okay, this is a unique exam paper for your staff department, write it for me!" Zhao Dongyang personally came to issue papers to the staff department and invigilated the examination.

The cadets of the staff department got the exam papers, looked at them, and almost fainted. The students of the staff department opened the exam paper, which was not a legendary cultural test at all, nor was it the understanding of any words at all. This is a bunch of arithmetic questions, which are math exams. Originally, it was easy to test the language. As a result, I was now given a math exam paper. I'm afraid a whole bunch of people are going to cry. This is the case with these students of the staff department, who originally understood and used the language well, but now it has become a math test paper, how can they answer this?

In ancient times. There's very little math. Very few people will be proficient in mathematics. And. Although the imperial imperial examination also has the subject of clear arithmetic, it is not good to learn arithmetic, and the future is not great. So. There are not many people who learn arithmetic, and they are mainly used in the accounting room to help others settle accounts. And now there is arithmetic in the military school exam, which makes him very speechless. They are not afraid of literary understanding, their own cultural courses are very good, and few will lack culture. Now they are all going to assess arithmetic, and this is simply killing them. Originally, they studied Confucian classics, and Confucianism was quite contemptuous of arithmetic. So, they haven't studied arithmetic at all now.

"Si Ye, why do we take the arithmetic exam?" Pei Xingjian asked.

Zhao Dongyang replied: "The staff department is special, and it is an arithmetic. Because we are relieved of your cultural courses, we should take other exams. As a staff officer, you have to ask the chief officer to manage internal affairs well, and you also need to deduce the army's combat effectiveness, marching routes, and terrain and geography, all of which require a very good grasp of arithmetic. And if you can't do it, then you can't be a good staff officer. In the future, the cultural courses of your staff department will be reduced, and your staff department will mainly study arithmetic, which is to teach us according to our aptitude. ”

Zhao Dongyang's words immediately made those staff officers speechless, and they actually wanted to learn arithmetic. In their eyes, the staff officers are like those guys who come up with ideas around the main general, and their stomachs are full of bad water. But now it seems that this is not the case, and the staff officers under the new army system are not the kind of guest secretary type of staff officers. In fact, the staff officers under the new army system are just some high-ranking clerks, who are specifically responsible for handling the internal affairs of the army, and some are also professionally directing wars. In the past, the kind of staff officers who usually didn't have to do anything and only needed to break the water at critical moments were not staff officers of the new army.

And the new style of staff officers, astronomy and geography, the disposal of confidential files, the internal affairs of the army, and even intelligence analysis, all have to be able to know. And this qiē is inseparable from a mathematics. It can be said that in the mode of the new army, mathematics is one of the most important abilities, no less than language comprehension. Don't look at the Xue Shame Army's fighting happily, but those staff officers here have to perform number operations and figure out every number, so these arithmetic is one of the cores. Without accurate arithmetic, the war would not have been possible at all.

"It's miserable, I haven't studied arithmetic! This staff department is really pitiful, and even has to study arithmetic. Pei Xingjian said.

Pei Xingjian suddenly cried and called his mother because he had never studied arithmetic. And the previous month of study, they didn't really want to learn arithmetic, so they didn't know at all. It's really frustrating that nothing will come now.

Even if Pei Xingjian can't, he has to answer the question seriously. He found that these problems were not as difficult as he thought, because they were simple math that could be used in daily life, and they did not require much effort. However, there are some things that need to be counted more, mainly in terms of steps, which consumes a lot of time. And they don't know any simple algorithms, so they can only pick their fingers one by one and start counting, which is very painful.

"Isn't this second-grade question too difficult?" Jingwen muttered in the office.

For those students in the staff department, Jingwen used the second-grade math problems to solve them problems, but Jingwen also wondered if these problems would be too difficult. The development of mathematics in ancient times was very deformed, and some people were so gifted that they were able to get to the middle school level. Some people are not even as good as the first grade of primary school. And the vast majority of people have not been able to learn arithmetic well at all, and they have mainly devoted their energy to the so-called sage books. Therefore, Jingwen is also doubting that his arithmetic will not be too difficult, so that they will not be able to do it. If this is the case, I'm afraid the staff department will be unlucky.
