Chapter 44: The Powerful and the Commoners
"Be careful of other candidates?" Lin Lotian hesitated.
"Yes, if my expectations are correct, the top points are not just by killing Warcraft to earn points. Meng Jiang said with a solemn face.
"How could anyone do this?" Lin Lotian was shocked.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, you haven't experienced this, you must know that the interests are moving, this assessment, except for yourself, everyone is a competitor, if you don't step on others, then how can you ensure that you will definitely be admitted?" Meng Jiang smiled, he felt that Lin Letian was very interesting.
"Okay, even if you're right, but as long as we don't get together with them, it won't hurt soon?" Lin Letian was still a little unconvinced.
"Brother Lin, what I told you before, you should be a deaf ear!" Meng Jiang looked at Lin Letian and felt that he was hopeless, "The difficulty has become more and more in the past few days, and in the end, I estimate that all the candidates will be brought together, no longer like at the beginning, no one can touch anyone, and the competition will definitely be extremely fierce at that time, and I believe that a chaotic war will break out at that time." ”
Lin Lotian shook his head, "I think you are a little extreme, first of all, this is not to fight for the first place, as long as you can maintain the top three hundred, I believe everyone will come to their senses, and secondly, even if a chaotic war breaks out, will the academy watch everyone fight like this?"
"What you said is not unreasonable, but you must know that it is indispensable to guard against people, Brother Lin is still careful, you go out quickly and help me launch a signal flare, I can say it, Brother Jiang can't hold it anymore, you see that he has not woken up from a coma, and you don't want him to be irreparably injured here!" Meng Jiang didn't want to have any more disputes with Lin Letian, and when he saw that persuasion was useless, he sent Lin Letian away.
Lin Letian looked at Jiang Feiyu, who was still unconscious, nodded, and then walked out of the cave, took out the signal flare from his arms, and pulled the lead rope of the signal flare, a flash of fire shot straight into the sky, and then scattered in the air.
After seeing the flare launched, Lin Letian looked at it in a daze, then turned back to the cave and said to Meng Jiang, "I have already launched the flare, you hold on for a while, and an examiner will come." ”
Meng Jiang's face had become a little pale due to excessive blood loss, and when he heard Lin Letian's words, he smiled bitterly, "I was careless today that led to such a consequence, and I don't know if Brother Jiang will blame me after he wakes up, I didn't expect this assessment to be like this, alas!"
Lin Letian felt very uncomfortable when he heard Meng Jiang's sigh, but he still had to comfort Meng Jiang, "With the strength of the two of you, I believe that if you are prepared for the next assessment, you will definitely pass." ”
"It's okay to say that it's a big deal to participate again next year, but Brother Jiang is not, I guess it will be difficult for him to participate again next year. Meng Jiang shook his head, looking regretful.
"How do you say this?" Lin Letian was a little puzzled.
"Brother Jiang told me before that he came to participate in the assessment this year, and he came in after many selections, and finally got a letter of recommendation, and he also said that if he can't be admitted this year, he will definitely not be able to participate in the assessment next year. Meng Jiang sighed and explained.
"Oh?" Lin Letian was a little puzzled, he grew up with his master and didn't know much about the situation of the local college.
"Brother Lin seems to be the recommended place by the college, and it is estimated that he doesn't know much about the affairs of the local college, so I will talk to Brother Lin about it now. "Meng Jiang is a smart and clever person, and when he saw Lin Letian's expression, he knew why.
"Brother Meng, tell me?" Lin Lotian became curious.
"The annual enrollment quota of the Imperial Royal Academy is limited, but the source of students is not fixed, and some enrollment indicators will be given to the local government every year. Some of these indicators were given to local elites and some to local colleges. ”
"I know that. Lin Letian blinked, these things were not a secret, he had lived in the academy since he was a child, and he knew these situations very well.
"Brother Lin only knows one thing, I don't know the other, has Brother Lin ever thought that the children of these powerful people, especially the children of the descendants, want to get recommendations, it can be said that it is a simple thing, because the annual allocation of indicators is enough for them to use, in addition, they can also spare some extra space to recruit outstanding civilian children and work for them, while civilian children are different, in addition to going through layers of selection from the academy, and finally obtaining the only name, they can only sell themselves to the family of the powerful. Meng Jiang said, with a look of disdain.
"I see. Lin Letian recalled that when he was a child, several conflicts that broke out in the academy seemed to have arisen between civilians and powerful people, he didn't understand it before, but as soon as Meng Jiang said it this time, he understood.
"Moreover, if you get a letter of recommendation from a local college, you often only have one chance, after all, it is impossible for each college to recommend a student indefinitely, because the failure to participate in the imperial royal academy examination means that it must not be enough in a certain aspect. ”
Lin Letian nodded, and said in agreement, "That's true, it seems that Jiang Feiyu was born from a local college." ”
"That's good!" Meng Jiang said here, with a solemn face, "But has Brother Lin ever thought about why the powerful can always easily get letters of recommendation, while these civilians have to go through a lot of selection?"
"This..."Lin Letian was suddenly a little speechless when asked by Meng Jiang's words, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Originally, it wasn't like this earlier, the founding emperor once allowed the teachers of the Imperial Royal Academy to give some outstanding students who didn't get a letter of recommendation, extra opportunities, but then it slowly deteriorated and became a kind of transaction, so there will be this assessment reform. Meng Jiang said this, with a look of adoration.
"Hmph!" Liu Zhiyong listened to on the side, and suddenly snorted coldly, I really don't know why.
Lin Letian was a little embarrassed, he himself was a vested interest, so he naturally had no words to defend himself, but he thought about it and felt that it seemed a little strange, "What Brother Meng said is indeed reasonable, but just now Brother Meng said that it will not be a problem for him to participate in the assessment next year, because..."
Meng Jiang's originally pale face flushed with a hint of blush, as if he was a little embarrassed, "My father is actually a powerful family, and in a city that is not too big, he holds the position of city lord, so..."
Lin Letian nodded clearly, it seems that although this Meng Jiang is the son of the powerful, he does not have the prejudice against the common people like the children of the ordinary powerful, "It turns out that Brother Meng is the son of the city lord, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
"Brother Lin laughed, I also rely on the blessing of my ancestors. Meng Jiang looked a little embarrassed.
