Chapter 235: Second Round of Interviews
Master Weigong's apprenticeship application process caused a lot of turmoil in the entire Immortal Sword Continent.
The people in the Thirteen Kingdoms who heard this interview process all expressed their doubts about his strange behavior, where is there a swordsmith to accept apprentices is to examine the calculation questions, these things have a half-dime relationship with sword casting.
Including the sword Rin Sakura is also very incomprehensible, but the strange behavior of the emiya is not a day or two, this swordsmith does seem to be a little off the edge of the sword sometimes, but in the end there will always be a reason for him.
What made her more angry was that there were a total of 10 people in the list of apprentices she recommended to Wei Gong, and in the first round of [interview], 6 were brushed off by Wei Gong.
Among them is also a highly qualified swordsmith trained by Master Liu Dun before, and he is also a well-known nobleman.
For those who have a foundation in arithmetic, Wei Gong is a different set of topics, not simple addition and subtraction, but a system of multiple equations, you know, this is also a high-level subject in the arithmetic academy of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn it.
At this time, Wei Gong was sitting in his own study, counting the rest of the personnel with Xin Lang and Cui Xiaoxiao.
He didn't insist on screening out all the recommenders, but adhering to the principle of employing people as virtuous, he still decided to follow his own assessment standards, and it was normal for him to leave and eliminate who he could in the end.
After the first round of interviews, Wei Gong eliminated 90% of the applicants, for which he is quite satisfied, the remaining number is not so exaggerated, and compared with the previous list of recommendations sent by various countries, he found that half of them still remained.
So among these people who were recommended, not all of them were straw bales, at least a few of them still had two brushes, at least in terms of learning ability better than other applicants.
Wei Gong still has some foresight on this, from the perspective of the development process of human society, knowledge is always in the hands of a few people, and the brain is also more and more intelligent, which is why the people in power have always been basically not the lowest level of the people, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period, including the military advisers below them, in fact, they are basically bureaucratic landlord class.
Because the nobles had more time and more resources, including knowledge, these people who were pushed by the rulers of the Thirteen Kingdoms were indeed superior to others in terms of learning ability and comprehension.
Fortunately, there was a young man from the bottom who impressed him deeply, and Wei Gong searched for that name in the Qiankun mirror-
Li Shangyu.
And carefully memorized it several times.
It's a pretty easy name to remember.
That young man has no arithmetic foundation, and he is also from the lowest level of shrimp people, he can know the three-digit calculation by drawing inferences from the two-digit vertical operation taught by Wei Gong, and can successfully demonstrate it correctly in front of everyone, which is enough to prove that this young man is outstanding.
Regardless of whether he can understand the knowledge taught by Cui Xiaoxiao in the future, at least Wei Gong thinks that it is not a problem for him to help him run the sword forging machine smoothly and carry out simple management, and if he cultivates more, he may be able to become a right-hand man in the future.
Thinking of this, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of Wei Gong's mouth, and then he picked up the water cup next to him and fed it to his mouth.
Continuing to look down, his gaze stopped at a name called Liang Mingfeng.
In addition, there was a young man from Sha Jianguo who also impressed him, this person was about the same age as himself, and he registered with an arithmetic foundation when he signed up.
In his session, it was precisely because of this person named Liang Mingfeng that Wei Gong specially raised the problem from the system of multiple equations to the equal difference series, because no matter how Wei Gong came up with the question, he could answer all the questions correctly.
Due to time constraints, Emiya could not fully detect how much he knew about arithmetic, otherwise, he would have been able to solve the problems all the way to calculus-related content.
Xin Lang also happened to see the name Liang Mingfeng on the side, he still can't forget the expressions of the other people in the examination room at that time, in the last 20 minutes, everyone looked at Wei Gong and Liang Mingfeng with a pair of chaotic and drowsy plus shocked and incomprehensible expressions, and no one could understand what they were talking about.
Wei Gong picked up a pencil and carefully recorded Liang Mingfeng's name on the paper next to him, this person's appearance is also very special, with silver hair and brown skin, he looks handsome and has a kind of desolation from the world, this kind of appearance characteristics, Wei Gong still knows something, it is said that the royal family of Shajian Country looks similar.
If he was really arranged by Sha Jianguo and was not on the list of Sha Jiandi's recommendations, Wei Gong would have to admire Sha Jiandi's city government and courage.
Anyway, judging from the last interview, this person deserves to be the first.
……
Three days after the first round of interviews, Master Emiya released the news of the second round of interviews, and according to the rules of this time, the final 20 people who will be left will be directly decided.
After the first round of interviews, the less than 100 lucky people who were left had not been happy for two days, and when they heard the news, they felt that they had fallen from the sky to the bottom.
This round of interviews is different from the first one, it is no longer a group of people to test together, but an individual interview, for the time and order of the interview, Master Wei Gong has sent it to their respective mirrors, and on the white wall of the Wei Gong Mansion, there is also an interview schedule sheet.
Those who were once complacent and very sure of their sword-forging skills couldn't help but retreat at this time, hoping that Master Weigong would ask questions related to sword-casting this time, but don't make any more strange things.
But it backfired, and when the first interviewer entered Emiya's study, he was asked the question of "Write down the rules of the game of eagles and chickens." ”
At this point, these people finally woke up, and what Master Weigong wanted was not someone who could forge a sword, but a smart person in a sense.
