Lin Zexu and Niu Jian received the task and discussed the examination plan with the local officials, who are also the shopkeepers of the factory.

Lin Zexu was the first to speak his thoughts:

"Your Highness believes that the ability of the target should not be examined...... Should this ability include literacy? ”

Niu Jian immediately nodded and said:

"I think it should be included, so in this form of exam, there shouldn't be a written test.

"Being able to write is also a very important ability, so you can only do it through a purely oral exam."

Lin Zexu thought about it again:

"Pure oral exam? Have people ask questions on the spot and then make a comment? The influence of such a person is too great......"

Niu Jian nodded again:

"I think that's the only way to go, we can't ask everyone to be able to write, that's too high.

Moreover, the words of writing do not directly reflect their language skills, especially accents.

"I've looked through the previous records, and the scholars of the He clan can basically write Chinese characters, but they can't speak the Ming Yayan.

"Now the situation is reversed, almost all the people of the He clan can speak Daming Yayan, but very few can write."

Lin Zexu leaned back in his chair and said while thinking about it:

"Then the person in charge of the assessment has to be strictly managed, to ensure that the inspectors and the people who take the examination do not have any contact opportunities before the examination, and to ensure that the two parties do not know each other at all......

"After all, the questions and content of the investigation cannot have any depth and difficulty, and in fact it is equivalent to the form of the questionnaire that the Renwu Dynasty began to use......"

Niu Jian also said with some emotion:

"That's true, and if you think about it that way, this kind of exam is really a questionnaire.

But there is no right or wrong way to do the survey, so how do we evaluate their results?

"How do you know if a person has passed an exam?"

Lin Zexu took a pen and wrote and drew on paper:

"There is no right or wrong, but what His Highness wants to investigate is not right or wrong.

"According to His Highness's request, the deep inner logic is to investigate their thinking tendencies.

"Investigate their thinking habits and the compatibility with Daming culture......

"The operation plan on the surface is to look at their way of expression and see whether they are proficient in the use of Daming Yayan."

Niu Jian thought for a while and said:

"So, if in the process of asking questions, as long as the other party speaks the local vernacular, then directly eliminate it?

"I think I can speed up the inquiry, respond quickly and nervously, and better reflect his language habits."

Lin Zexu wrote down Niu Jian's thoughts:

"Yes, that makes sense, it also speeds up the exam.

"The specific person in charge of the assessment may only be at the elementary school level, and they can't evaluate things that have depth.

"There is no way to quantify things accurately at the level of thinking.

"Only in a relatively quick Q&A process, I can find out that the other party does not belong to the habits of Daming culture......"

Niu Jian nodded slightly, and the two sides continued to discuss for a while, and ...... It should be said that the idea of the investigation has been determined.

Lin Zexu listed all the key points, showed them to Niu Jian, and then continued to consult his colleagues' opinions:

"Do you think we should send a notice in advance to publicize the content of the assessment and the benefits after passing?"

Niu Jian thought for a while and said:

"I think it's better not to hype it up for the first time, try the effect on a small scale first, and let the relevant people also exercise.

"Moreover, the workers who have passed the assessment are going to have their wages raised, and it is better to come in stages, rather than in one go."

Lin Zexu also nodded slowly:

"Then simply limit the scope of the examination and target a specific group of people for each test.

People of the same ethnicity may have similar habits, and they can be arranged according to these habits.

"Sequential ...... Of course, it is from near to far, starting with the Koreans and the He.

"For the first time, it should be further narrowed down to only those in management and their families."

Niu Jian had no opinion on this arrangement, so he immediately began to arrange a specific investigation plan and organize the personnel responsible for the investigation.

Hao Zhongyi, as the more prominent workshop director, the key is that he happened to bring a mixed-race younger brother, and Hao Zhongyi also told Zhu Jingyuan that this younger brother was full of bonuses in all aspects.

Therefore, his younger brother Hao Jizhi and his wife were naturally included in the scope of the first batch of investigators.

One morning five days later, Hao Zhongyi was called to Lin Zexu's office alone.

Lin Zexu, as the administrative manager of the Mengxian factory, personally sent Hao Zhongyi and his younger brother and his wife the examination notice.

Lin Zexu signed the admission ticket on the spot, and asked Hao Zhongyi to sign the letter of commitment for the promotion and the letter of commitment for confidentiality.

When Hao Zhongyi was summoned by Zhu Jingyuan, he had already heard Zhu Jingyuan ask about his younger brother's salary.

Hao Zhongyi originally thought that Zhu Jingyuan was just talking casually at that time, and even if he had the idea of adjustment, it was estimated that it would take many years before he could really start to implement it.

I didn't expect this adjustment to start so quickly, which is really efficient.

After figuring out what was going on, Hao Zhongyi instinctively exclaimed and thanked the king of his family and the shopkeeper of Lin Da.

Hao Zhongyi signed those documents without hesitation, and then trotted all the way to the back kitchen of the canteen with the two admission tickets.

Hao Jizhi is also the manager of this canteen, but he still thinks about his family's inheritance in his heart.

When I'm not busy, I mutter the names of the dishes and recipes, and practice my knife skills and how to mix sauces and broths.

Seeing Hao Zhongyi, Hao Jizhi's hand cutting tofu shreds still didn't stop, but he changed his mouth at the innermost:

"Why are you here? Hungry for work? I have noodles and sauce here, I'll give you pancakes to eat, or do you come by yourself? ”

Hao Zhongyi took Hao Jizhi's arm and walked to the office next to him:

"I'm not hungry, don't practice first, you come with me first, I have something important to explain to you."

Hao Jizhi didn't expect his second brother to be so serious, so he was a little surprised, and honestly put down the kitchen knife and followed the second brother:

"What do you say......"

Hao Zhongyi closed the door carefully, and then took out two admission tickets:

"You and your daughter-in-law will take these two certificates to the exam in three days.

"As long as you pass the test, on the side of Mozhou, the Great Food Country, you will be considered a Ming person.

"Your basic salary, and all the other money you should get, are the same as mine."

Hao Zhongyi didn't talk to his younger brother about seeing Zhu Jingyuan.

What Zhu Jingyuan said at the time, he also learned it over and over again, and his younger brother was almost bored of learning.

So Hao Jizhi is mentally prepared for these things, but this preparation is the opposite to a certain extent.

Hao Jizhi's eyes widened, and he asked in great surprise:

"Brother, you didn't bluff me, did you? This is starting so soon? In the future, I will really be considered a Ming person? ”

Hao Zhongyi looked serious:

"This is Lin Da's shopkeeper telling me personally, can this still be fake? Can your brother still pit you? ”

Hao Jizhi believed that the admission ticket in his brother's hand was suspicious, and determined that it was the signature of Lin Da's shopkeeper and his brother.

I basically believe that this thing itself is true, but I still have doubts about the exam:

"Have I ever gone to school and can't write a few words, how can I pass the exam......?"

Hao Zhongyi immediately said:

"Shopkeeper Lin said that the exam is very simple, you don't need to write, the examiner asks questions on the spot, just ask you what you say.

"Before the exam results come out, don't tell outsiders, Brother Ren is your sponsor and has signed a letter of guarantee."

Hao Jizhi was sure of this matter, but he still didn't have too much expectation.

Because in the previous Ming tradition, the restriction on origin was very strong.

After the birth of the impure Ming people, there is basically only one way to cross the ethnic registration ladder.

That is, as a girl, she became the servant daughter of the Ming Emperor, and finally became a concubine.

For other ordinary people, there is no possibility of changing their birth and status.

The channels in the West Factory are unknown to ordinary people outside.

Therefore, because Hao Jizhi is currently a member of the He clan, he never thought that he could become a real Ming person.

There is no viable avenue for even partial, officially recognized same-rate treatment.

Now the Great Food Prince gave the road, but they still instinctively thought that the road must be very difficult.

So after holding the admission ticket, Hao Jizhi didn't react much.

But with the mentality that I would rather believe what I have than what I don't, I finally went to take the exam.

The first exam is internal and not open to the public, so there are no obvious announcements and formations.

It was in the factory management building that two adjoining conference rooms were selected.

One serves as a waiting room and one as a review room.

There were also very few participants, and there were more than 30 people in the waiting room.

In addition to the relatives of the management, it is the people who also belong to the management themselves.

Hao Jizhi accounted for both aspects, so he was ranked at the forefront.

And the other people on the scene may not know each other, but they all know Hao Jizhi, the canteen manager and chef.

As soon as Hao Jizhi and his wife entered the door, the people who were originally chatting in twos and threes subconsciously greeted Hao Jizhi.

There's no way, if you offend the canteen manager, is it still like having good food?

After Hao Jizhi sat down, he immediately inquired with them and found that they were all admission tickets secretly given by his relatives.

Other people's mentality is similar to Hao Jizhi's, and they naturally feel that the exam must be difficult.

There is little expectation of passing the exam.

There was a lot of complaining.

Everyone didn't wait too long, and soon a document came in and called Hao Jizhi's name.

Hao Jizhi followed the other party to the next door with some nervousness.

When he entered the door, he found that Lin Da's shopkeeper was sitting in the conference table, and Hao Jizhi subconsciously hurriedly said hello:

"Hey, Shopkeeper Lin, are ......you eating?"

Lin Zexu knew that the people in this assessment were more important, so he personally presided over the questionnaire and summarized his experience at the same time.

You can ensure the fairness of the inspection, and you don't need to find people you don't know to take the test.

Lin Zexu laughed directly when he heard this greeting.

In fact, Lin Zexu knew that in Hao Jizhi's situation, there was no need for a special exam at all.

But the normal process still has to go.

"I've eaten, Xiao Hao, come here, sit next to me......"

Lin Zexu greeted Hao Zhongyi, sat down directly under him, and then said with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, our exam is said to be an exam, but it's actually just a chat, just see if you speak neatly or not."

Hao Jizhi instinctively said:

"I must be neat and talking, why don't I report the menu of my hotel to you?"

Lin Zexu had actually heard Fang many times, but now he still smiled and nodded:

"Then you can report it again and try ......"

Hao Jizhi immediately took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth and spit out a large string:

"Roasted sea cucumber with green onion, sweet and sour ridge, nine turns of large intestine, sweet and sour carp, braised prawns in oil, ......"

Hao Jizhi read dozens of dish names in one breath, and after reading it, he took a hard breath:

"There are a few dishes that I have to cook with my brother, and I haven't actually taught yet......"

Lin Zexu wrote a few words on the information sheet in front of him:

"Okay, very good, Xiao Hao, your name is Hao Jizhi, what is your birthday?"

followed by a simple Q&A, Lin Zexu asked Hao Zhongyi about his age, birthday, and appearance.

And personal preferences, what you like to do when you have a break, and so on.

Hao Jizhi focuses on the question itself, while Lin Zexu focuses on the state of his answer.

Hao Jizhi chatted a lot, and said several paragraphs intermittently, which was completely no different from an ordinary Shandong person.

Does not exhibit any suspicious and ethnic traits and habits.

In the end, Lin Zexu filled in "excellent" at the end of the form in his hand.

Then he directly took a pile of printed small books beside him, filled in Hao Jizhi's information on them, and stamped them on the spot.

Then handed the small notebook to Hao Jizhi:

"Okay, you've passed the exam, and this is your certificate for the Daming General Education Foundation Exam.

"From now on, you enjoy the treatment of citizens in the Mozhou area of the Great Food Country of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your salary, work benefits and security are all consistent with those of the Ming people.

"Here, you are a complete Ming person."

When Lin Zexu was filling out the documents, Hao Jizhi didn't have any ideas and didn't know what Lin Zexu was writing.

When Lin Zexu finally announced, Hao Jizhi was completely stunned:

"What do you say, big shopkeeper? Did I hear me right? Did I pass the exam? ”

Lin Zexu nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, you passed the exam, so this is the certificate issued to you, and it is also proof that you enjoy the treatment of the Ming people.

"But it's all about you, and your wife has to take the exam alone.

"If you and your wife both pass the exam, your children will be treated the same by default.

"Until adulthood, take the same test again."

Hao Jizhi took the small notebook in a daze, and found that what was written on it was:

Daming General Education Foundation Examination Certificate.

There are no too complicated words, they are all very common words, and Hao Jizhi himself knows them.

It also says that the purpose of this certificate is the one introduced by Lin Zexu, and the one introduced by his brother.

Hao Jizhi was stunned for a long time before muttering to himself:

"That's it? Just hold it...... I'm the real Ming here? Am I not a Japanese clan anymore? ”

Lin Zexu continued to strengthen his memory and said:

"Yes, according to the will and permission of His Royal Highness Prince Da Shi, you have obtained Da Ming citizenship within the scope of Da Shi Country."

Hao Jizhi squeezed the small certificate tightly with both hands, and repeated the sentence very excitedly:

"I'm a Ming man now......"
