At this time, Xu Huaixiao asked curiously, "To take the martial arts exam, do you still have to read so many books?" Isn't it just a matter of being strong in martial arts? ”

Village Chief Xu also looked at Liu Xiuwen in puzzlement, waiting for him to explain.

Liu Xiuwen said, "No, martial arts are only a part of the examination, and the main content of the martial arts examination in the current dynasty is 'strategy first, followed by martial arts', and it is also stipulated that those who fail to pass the written examination are not allowed to take the riding and archery test." ”

Xu Huaixiao was speechless after hearing this, "Good guy, it's not good to dare to be strong in martial arts, you have to be able to read, isn't that even harder than Wenju?" ”

Liu Xiuwen said with a smile, "I can't say that, the founding emperor of Dayong said that he needed to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, only kung fu with fists and feet, and did not understand literature and ink. ”

"That's hard enough." Xu Huaixiao muttered, "It's tiring enough to practice martial arts all day, who still has the energy to study and practice calligraphy?" ”

Liu Xiuwen said, "But the martial arts are easier than the civil arts, the previous dynasty emphasized the civil arts and light the martial arts, and the martial arts were the first officials, and the treatment was not a little worse than that of the civil officials, but in the current dynasty, it will not be the case, as long as the martial arts examination is passed, there will be a variety of salaries every month, and they will be sent to the military camp to serve as officials, which is much greater than the opportunity to elect officials in the civil examination. ”

"Really? That Huaiyi will be able to worry about it in the future, okay, it's really good......" Xu Huaixiao is really happy, not envious and jealous at all.

Liu Xiuwen thought of his hand and interrupted his way of studying, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

At this time, Village Chief Xu asked again, "Then why is the exam a good one?" ”

Liu Xiuwen adjusted his mood and explained, "In the martial arts system, there are clear regulations, and those who are proficient in righteousness and reasoning in their answers, and those who are excellent in bows and horses are listed as superior, and those who are excellent in strategy and slightly inferior in bows and horses are listed as excellent, and those who are excellent in strategy and slightly inferior in bow and horse, are listed as excellent in strategy, and those who are not as good as the art of war, and those who are not as good as the literature are listed after the medium, and although they are excellent in their strategy and not as good as the bow and horse, or the bow and horse are long and the strategy is not reasonable, they are all deposed, so as to be raised in the future."

Village Chief Xu was confused when he heard it, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Huaixiao didn't understand it even more, "Xiuwen, what you said is clear." ”

Liu Xiuwen reacted, so he had to say it again in the vernacular.

This time, Village Chief Xu understood, "That is to say, first test the strategy theory, and after the strategy is passed, go to the martial arts test, and the martial arts are divided into three categories, horse riding, bow and arrow, fist and foot kung fu, right?" ”

Liu Xiuwen nodded.

Village Chief Xu turned his head and asked Gu Huanxi, "Does Huaiyi know how to write a strategy?" ”

Gu Huanxi pondered, "I understand a little bit, but when I signed up, he asked the people from the martial arts academy, this is an entrance exam, and there are not many requirements in this regard, as long as you know a little bit about literature and ink, the focus is on physical fitness, martial arts, and the rest will be taught by a special teacher after you go in." ”

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu finally felt at ease in his heart, not only him, Xu Huaixiao and Liu Xiuwen were very confident in Xu Huaiyi's martial arts, after all, he was the one who could defeat the dart master with one move and hack the wolf king to death, and his martial arts could be worse?

Xu Huaiyi, who was discussed by several people, only stepped into the Jingwu Academy at this moment.

There are not many people who come to the exam today, including him, there are only fifteen people, Xu Huaiyi looked around quietly, dressed like ordinary people, wearing dark and durable coarse linen and short beats, and even, there are a few people with conspicuous patches on their clothes.

He was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't figure out why now, but later he learned that those children of the powerful relied on the shadow of their ancestors and could enter the school without exams, and the children of the third-grade officials' families also had a corresponding number of places, so the so-called exams were only for ordinary people, and they were a threshold for ordinary people to advance.

As for why the number is small, it is because the common people can't eat in this circle, although there is a system that presses everyone in the academy to treat them equally, but there are few who can really do it, and the civilian students are inferior, they are bullied, and they dare not complain to the teacher, otherwise they will suffer more serious retaliation.

Over time, ordinary people are discouraged by the Jingwu Academy, no matter how envious they are, they don't dare to try it easily, they can't stand the grievance, and they are afraid that they will be tossed and crippled before they can wait for the martial arts.

But there are also a small number of people who are eager to try, without him, whether it is a gentleman who teaches the art of war in the Jingwu Academy, or a master who teaches martial arts, they are the most powerful people at the moment.

Although it is not easy to mix, once it is mixed out, it is a step to the sky, high risk, which means high returns, and it is still worth fighting.

Of course, there are very few people who can fight their heads.

It's a toss that can't stay, and there are a lot of people who drop out of school halfway.

This is also the reason why Xu Huaiyi came to sign up temporarily, and he was warmly entertained, because there were too few civilian students, and the founding emperor had set a rule that in order to prevent the resources here from being embezzled and occupied by the children of the powerful, the proportion of civilian students should not be less than thirty percent.

At the moment, Xu Huaiyi doesn't know these inside information, only guessing that maybe the bundle of Jingwu Academy is too expensive, which leads to fewer people signing up, the old saying is that poor study, rich learning martial arts, it makes sense, the family is not solid enough, want to practice a good martial arts, too difficult, in addition to asking the master to guide, you have to eat well, pay attention to it, and you have to use medicinal materials to soak in the bath to boil your muscles and bones, otherwise it is easy to hurt the foundation, in addition, weapons, bows and arrows, horses, these all need a lot of silver support, that is, clothes and shoes, all cost a lot, no money, where do these things come from?

He was distracted, and the dozen or so of them had already lined up, called their names, and after a brief inspection, they were taken to a spacious room to prepare for the first exam, which was the written examination and discussion part.

There were more than 20 tables in the room, and they picked a chair and sat down until the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all placed in front of them, Xu Huaiyi was still a little dazed, is it so simple and sloppy?

I haven't eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run, it's not like this on TV, I haven't searched my body, and it's not a small number for one person, of course, at this moment, there are invigilators staring at the front and back of the house, and they can't do it if they want to, but Xu Huaiyi still feels that this exam is a bit unformal.

After seeing the questions on the test paper, this thought became even stronger.

The topic is too simple, it's just blind to the hard work he fought with the lamp before, and he was still worried that he would test the strategy, and he couldn't dream at night, and the result was this?

As if joking, Xu Huaiyi complained while answering the question, if it weren't for the family background of Jingwu Academy here, he would have wondered if he had been fooled by some pheasant university. (End of chapter)
