readx;
As soon as all the children heard the words "Qi Gathering Pill", they all shouted in unison, "Long live the old lady", and they couldn't help themselves excitedly. The Qi Gathering Pill www.biquge.info is a kind of elixir, after the cultivators of the first realm forging body realm take it, they can quickly break through to the second realm of qi gathering realm, and after the cultivators of the qi gathering realm take it, they can deepen their understanding of the vitality of heaven and earth and speed up their cultivation into the realm. Such a pill, I don't know how much it cost to spend heaven and earth, the Su family has a big business, and the old lady Su is famous, and he can only get this one, which shows the preciousness of this pill.
Su Qingyun and Su Yu were even more excited, these two people practiced martial arts and the other cultivated literature, they were the two best among the children, whether Old Lady Su was in the martial arts examination or the literary examination, the first place would inevitably fall among the two brothers. Su Yu is in the critical period of impacting the second realm, and Su Qingyun is impacting the third realm, and they all need this elixir very much.
Mo Lin'er hadn't followed Old Lady Su for a long time, and she hadn't had time to ask him for advice on many questions, and when she saw that he was going to test the children, she couldn't help but straighten up and listen attentively. She didn't look down on this Qi Gathering Pill anymore, she just wanted to take this opportunity to test her cultivation and knowledge.
Old lady Su couldn't help laughing when she saw that the three words "Qi Gathering Pill" had received such a hot effect, and she stroked her beard and said loudly: "Okay, then I'll ask the question next, scrivener, you are responsible for recording, the respondent needs to sign up for himself, and the scribe who can't answer must also record the name, can you understand what I said?"
"Understood!" the children replied in unison.
"Okay! First question, what is the land of Yan Kingdom, what is the population, and what is the geometry of Jiashi?"
There was a buzz, and the audience was talking like the wind blowing in the forest. All the children turned their heads to each other, puzzled, and all of them had extremely surprised looks on their faces.
"What's the problem?"
"Don't take the "Hongmeng Book", and don't take the Shenyi Fist?"
"Don't take the Six Arts, don't take the Lile test?"
"What kind of problem is this? We are cultivators, and we are not the great Sitian who is in charge of the land and population, so what's the use of knowing how much land there is in the Yan country?"
None of the children answered, and they all talked about it. In fact, as a cultivator of the Seven Realms, Old Lady Su heard everything everyone said, but he didn't show it at all, just smiled and looked at the children who were in a hurry.
"Uncle Chang, you are the chief teacher of the children's cultural cultivation, tell me, which child has the best literary cultivation coursework? Old Lady Su asked.
Uncle Su is often very embarrassed, he teaches books such as "Hongmeng Book" and "Zhou Li" on weekdays, this question has not been discussed, according to what he knows, this group of children can answer the ghost. But he couldn't say to Old Lady Su, "I haven't talked about it", so he had to reply stubbornly: "Back to my father, Su Yu has the best homework in literary cultivation." ”
"Yes, Su Yu, you answer. Old lady Su said loudly.
Su Yu heard this question and "chuckled" in his heart, he knew that if someone rushed to answer, it would be fine, but if no one rushed to answer, most of the questions would fall on his head. Since Old Lady Su personally named him, he couldn't say no, so he had to kneel down and get up: "Back to Grandpa, I know that there are 800 miles in the land of Liaodong and 300 miles in the north of Ji, the total population...... About six or seven million ?......"
Su Yu reluctantly answered, and in the end, he replied so that his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to squeak. Su Boyu on the side gritted his teeth angrily, the population of the land of Yan Kingdom, although he had not learned it, but this was common sense, Su Yu answered in a mess, it was simply embarrassing.
The disappointed look on Old Lady Su's face flashed, and she asked again, "Does no one know?"
"What kind of knowledge is this? I should take the study taught in the academy! I want to be a cultivator, not a great priest, so what's the use of knowing these land populations?" a side disciple protested loudly with a red face.
Old Lady Su's face turned grim, and she said sternly: "It's true that you are cultivators, but you are cultivators of Yan Kingdom! If you don't even know how much land there is in Yan Kingdom, how can you be expected to serve Yan Kingdom in the future, throw your heads, and spill your blood? This kind of learning like "Hongmeng Book", the academy has to take the exam several times a month, what is the point of taking the exam again? This time, I want to test your true talents and learning, and I want to see if you care about the national economy and people's livelihood on weekdays, and whether you care about the great cause of the revitalization of Yan Kingdom!"
These words were loud and irrefutable, and all the children were silent.
"Is there anyone who can answer them all?" Old Lady Su looked around the audience again, and all the children lowered their heads one after another.
At this moment, a clear voice said, "Su Qiquan answered." ”
Everyone was surprised, and they all raised their heads to look at Su Qi's position, only to see him standing up and kneeling up, his expression was calm and natural. Mo Lin'er also looked at him with some surprise, not knowing what answer he was going to answer.
Seeing that the old lady nodded slightly, Su Qi calmly replied in a loud voice: "Yan State occupies two states, five thousand miles of land, and one of the four lands of China; Yan has a population of more than 15.2 million, of which 56 out of 10 are subordinate farmers and slaves; Yan has a population of more than 1.4 million, 800,000 armor soldiers, 100,000 flying horsemen to guard Liaodong, 200,000 infantry troops to guard the Shangdang to guard against Qin, and 300,000 infantry troops to guard the Yellow River to guard against Jin. In addition, there are about 200,000 state soldiers, county soldiers and veteran soldiers. ”
"Good. Old lady Su smiled approvingly, "Su Qi answered this question well, and the scribe wrote it down." ”
The scribe with a knife and pen in hand began to quickly write on the bamboo slips.
The children all looked angry and talked about it.
"Hmph, the blind cat just touched the dead mouse. ”
"Hey, how has this waste ever read a book? I think it's probably the second uncle who gave him a thorough question. ”
"It's just luck! There are two more answers, I'll see how he makes a fool of himself!"
Su Yu's face was flushed, as if he had been burned by fire. Especially when he saw his father Tie Qing's face, Su Yu hated Su Qi even more.
"This waste! I knew the answer a long time ago, but I said it in the end, obviously I was waiting for me to make a fool of myself! This is tantamount to slapping me and my father in the face, this little dog is so scheming!" Thinking of this, Su Yu gritted his teeth and hated Su Qi.
Mo Lin'er poked Su up with some curiosity: "How do you know this?"
"I just happened to read Yan Guo's "Regional Chronicles". ”
Mo Lin'er said strangely: "Then why didn't you answer in the first place?"
Su Qi said helplessly: "I thought that everyone would know this question, so I didn't want to steal the limelight too much." ”
Mo Lin'er stuck out her tongue: "You don't want to steal the limelight too much?
Seeing that everyone was talking, Old Lady Su had a look of resentment on her face, and her face sank: "Quiet! You are not convinced, but can you repeat it?"
As soon as these words came out, all the children lowered their heads again, not daring to speak.
Old Lady Su couldn't cry or laugh, and when she saw that everyone was quiet, she stopped dwelling on this question and continued to ask: "The second question, the world's virtuous ministers and famous generals, famous cultivators, name the one I admire the most." ”
