Chapter 32: Selection [II]

According to the difference in age, they are divided into five teams, and one team runs laps separately. The area of the threshing floor is large, and it is estimated that each lap is about two hundred and fifty paces. On the back of each team's top 10 left hand, write an Arabic numeral to mark it.

According to Zhang Han's standards, anyone who can insist on following the lead and completing five laps will be regarded as passing. Five laps totaled 12,300 steps, nearly 2,000 meters. If you have not exercised, but you can run down in one go, you must not only have a strong physique, but also have a strong will. The first two laps tested the physical fitness of the teenagers; The last three laps are a test of the willpower of the teenagers.

Such a strong and strong-willed person, Zhang Han is like a treasure. Farming is all about selection, this kind of person is of course a good breed, and it is estimated that it is still a mutated super good breed. Unfortunately, there were a few fewer of them, only one from each of the fifteen and fourteen-year-old teams. Zhang Han naturally called them over and comforted them with Wen Yan, not to mention the others, but to leave a good impression first. If you can persevere, there will always be a success. After asking their names and gossiping, Zhang Han asked them to help them go home to rest.

At the end of the day's test, Zhang Han received a surprise. In the ten-year-old team, there was even a boy who ran five laps, Zhang Han was overjoyed and couldn't help but walk over. Standing at the finish line and waiting, the heart said that even if this kid didn't finish in the end, he would take him down.

Wang Wenxiang ran out. Although he ran to the end and faltered, he persevered to the finish line. Zhang Han rushed forward and held him, "Don't stop, walk slowly, follow me, and you'll be fine in a while,......"

Before Zhang Han's words fell, Wang Wenxiang opened his mouth and flew down three thousand feet, Zhang Han hurriedly flew away, and Wang Wenxiang vomited.

Wang Wenxiang left a deep impression on Zhang Han, he had read a little book, had a name, was only ten years old, his personality was extremely resolute, and he almost vomited Zhang Han. Zhang Han remembered this name deeply.

On the first day of testing, the final candidate was basically determined. The subsequent series of tests such as skipping rope, jumping grid, archery, long jump, corner jumping, and riding horses to fight are just selected among the teenagers who have special strengths, very good minds, and special dexterity...... There are not many such people.

The three-day selection is over, but it has left layers of aftermath in Lubei Zhuanghu. In the end, Zhang Han only took fifty teenagers from Lubei. However, after each competition, he will give the winners some small wooden knives/small wooden swords/small bows and arrows as rewards. These things are not worth much, but they greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of children. The dealers also talked about it for a long time. The selection test item became a new game that became popular among children.

In the second year of Xiping, the Zhang family selected 800 teenagers and 480 girls from all over the village to serve as servants and maids, and built a large number of pavilions and pavilions in a manor near Zhangwu County, and widely planted strange flowers and trees, as a place for hospitality.

The whole civil engineering lasted for nearly a year, to the fourth year of Xiping (175 years) winter was initially completed, to that time, Zhangzhuang strange flowers everywhere, different trees into forests, pavilions and mountains, servants and maids such as clouds, fine wine and snow sugar ordinary things, mountains and seas delicacies actually come day by day. Guests come and go, day and night.

To maintain such a large manor, it is categorically not enough to have hundreds of famous servants and maids, and the Zhang family has successively selected several batches, which have almost become customized. The selected servants and maidservants were first taught to read and write, and then to be taught the things of servants and maidservants. As a result, the servants and slaves of the Zhang family all read books and could use the sentences in the "Book of Songs" to dialogue, so it was passed on as a beautiful conversation.

The Book of Songs is a compulsory textbook for the upper classes of society such as scholars, and in daily conversations, the words of the Book of Songs are often quoted. It can be said that if you don't know the Book of Songs, you can't speak. Of course, this is a requirement for scholars. As servants, they can properly quote a few lines of the Book of Songs, and the Zhang family already has a lot of face.

At the time, everyone sighed that Zhang's extravagance was extravagant. But compared with what the Zhang family has to do, it is really a drop in the bucket, luxury is luxury, Zhang Han doesn't care about this.

The Zhang family's manor is very widely distributed, and it took Zhang Han half a month to settle these eight hundred teenagers. One by one, they were divided into eighty tithes. The initial requirement was to take a bath, and as soon as everyone arrived in Bian Nanzhuang, they were taken to bathe, washed cleanly, and put on new clothes before being assigned a bed and a place to live.

Zhang Han only received the notice in July, and the houses were built in a hurry, and many houses were still not dry. Zhang Han had no choice but to stuff the young people who arrived one after another into the dry room. There were even twenty people crammed into many rooms, and there was no place to stay. However, teenagers don't care about this, and it's an interesting experience to be crowded with so many peers. It's just that the scattered teenagers make the voices of the students who manage them hoarse.

Seeing the students yelling at these teenagers, Zhang Han couldn't help but show a wicked smile - boys, it's good to have you. Zhang Han had already prepared a few big meals and was waiting to entertain them. Like a farmer, he planted the seeds in the spring and began to look forward to the autumn harvest.

After that, rigorous training began. For the first month, the practice of queues that lasted all day was a nightmare for everyone. But the boys persevered, and in the process they learned obedience and discipline – and the servants had to learn obedience.

Later, Zhang Han began to implement the manservant training plan, uh, it seems that he didn't formulate this thing. What the teenagers learn is similar to ethnology.

Using the Book of Songs as a textbook to learn literacy, this is for the Zhang family to be vassally elegant and show the style of the Zhang family in the millennium family of Wuxian County; Learning simple techniques is to protect the master at critical moments; The cross-country long-distance run every morning is for the servants to have a good body; Learning arithmetic is more useful, and everyone needs to settle accounts.

Do a full set of plays, recruit servants, and treat them as servants.

In life, they are far from being able to compare with the students of ethnology. All the houses were ready, and the teenagers still lived in thatched huts for 10 people, eating green vegetables and tofu, and also eating some sea fish from time to time. Only on festivals, or as a bonus, can you eat meat occasionally.

The fish come from Haiquzhuang. The shipyard in Haiquzhuang has developed rapidly, and although it is not yet possible to build large ships, dozens of fishing boats have been built. The fishermen soon had a surplus of fish caught there, and fortunately there was a good quality sea salt that could be salted in large quantities. After Zhang Han found out, he asked for some to supplement protein for these teenagers. Due to the lack of seasoning, the taste of marine fish is terrible, and if it is not mandatory, I am afraid it is not as popular as tofu.

However, the food is average, and there is no restriction on the quantity, providing an adequate food supply. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of training, Zhang Han did not hesitate to use medicine, and anyone who was injured would be treated in time.

The curriculum is the same, but the requirements for the teenagers are much stricter. At the end of the first year of study, two-thirds of the total 800 boys will be eliminated. The best half of those eliminated will be handed over to a special person for training in servants; The other half will be sent to various workshops to learn a trade. Only a third of the winners will stay and continue their studies, and their courses will be more in-depth and more demanding.

At the end of the second year of study, if they can meet a standard set by Zhang Han, they can stay and officially join the study of ethnology. Generally speaking, about one in five people will be eliminated. These eliminators know two or three thousand words, and can do the four more complex operations, and the best part of them stays in the small workshop to continue learning.

In other words, out of these 800 boys, 300 will become servants, 300 will become craftsmen, and only 200 will be able to enter the clan school, of course, this ratio and the number of recruits can be adjusted. However, in the first few years, most people had to become servants and craftsmen in order to hide from others.

In a sense, after the perfection of Zhang Zhao and Xiang Rang, Zhang Han's plan has become very deceptive, and he basically does not worry about being seen through.

However, nothing is absolute. No matter how perfect Zhang Han's plan is and how careful his actions are, he still hasn't escaped the eyes of those who have a heart.
