The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

In the second round of assessment, they used pen and paper to draw a topographic map of where they came from.

This is unexpected for all candidates.

They just thought that they would be asked to write something, or that there would be some kind of skill competition later.

In the end, he was just asked to draw a topographic map.

How do you calculate a topographic map?

“What does the topographic map look like?”

Why should we take such a test? .??.

It's over. Before I came here, I memorized a few military and political essentials. I thought... I didn't expect...

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, the more than 700 candidates present were all confused.

All kinds of comments and embarrassed expressions appeared on them.

Li Ke looked at the assessment questions in his hand and was stunned for a while.

He did not know the questions of this second assessment in advance.

I didn't even expect that it would be drawing a topographic map.

Of course, for a general, the most basic quality is to read and draw topographic maps.

If a person leading an army in a war can't even understand a terrain map, isn't that just talking on paper?

But for ordinary people who have never been exposed to topographic maps, is it a little too difficult?

Brother Imperial, do you think they have this ability? Li Ke walked to Zhao Chen and asked him in a low voice.

In Li Ke's view, it would be a blessing if one or two of the more than 700 candidates could draw a topographic map.

Topographic maps, even among the current generals of the Tang Dynasty, few can draw professional topographic maps.

I just asked them to draw a topographic map. It doesn't matter what the drawing looks like. Zhao Chen said lightly, looking at the candidates in front.

Some candidates have already started writing at this moment.

Some people were full of anger, thinking that Zhao Chen was deliberately trying to embarrass them.

They have never been exposed to these things, how can they draw topographic maps?

It’s clear that it’s Zhao

Chen didn't want to admit them to Chang'an Military Academy.

Not important? Li Ke was a little surprised.

Didn't the Emperor ask them to draw a terrain map?

Don't you just want to test their military talent? Li Ke asked Zhao Chen, but he was confused in his heart.

It was obviously Zhao Chen himself who asked them to draw a topographic map.

But why did Zhao Chen say that drawing topographic maps is not important?

A large part of them have never even been to a school. If they are asked to draw a topographic map, how can they draw it?

Brother Huang knew this, and yet... Li Ke just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Chen.

That examinee, throw him out. Zhao Chen pointed at the examinee in front of him with wandering eyes, and said to the government servant on the side.

The yamen officer was stunned for a moment, then walked up to the examinee and took him out of the examination room.

The examinee is still struggling, and everyone is looking at him.

Zhao Chen didn't say a word.

Chang'an Military Academy can teach everything. They are still young and have time for everything.

But if you don't even have the courage to try, it's better to go home and farm as soon as possible. Zhao Chen looked at the candidates being dragged out and said slowly to Li Ke.

Li Ke was slightly startled, but now he had already reacted.

This second assessment does not actually require these candidates to actually draw the terrain.

What Zhao Chen wants is for them to carry out his orders seriously.

Instead of complaining and being opportunistic.

Li Ke looked at the more than 700 people in front of him and couldn't help but wonder how many people could understand Zhao Chen's true thoughts.

If he were sitting below, would he be able to think of Zhao Chen's meaning again?

Li Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head.

he affirms himself

I couldn't guess what Zhao Chen meant.

…

Time passed slowly, and Cheng Chumo brought the soldiers lunch.

Cheng Chumo was also surprised. Why did it take so long to draw a topographic map?

More importantly, Zhao Chen did not give the candidates the final time.

Do you want to sit here like this today?

Xiao Lizi, what's going on?

Why isn't it over yet? It's just a topographic map! Cheng Chumo pulled Li Ke aside and asked in a low voice.

Li Ke and Cheng Chumo shook their heads and did not speak.

It's lunch time. Students who have completed the topographic map can have lunch now. Zhao Chen suddenly spoke and pointed to the ox cart nearby used to pull meals.

There was some commotion among the candidates.

After staying here all morning and thinking hard for a while, they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

Smelling the aroma of the food in the bucket, many people were salivating.

But no one dared to stand up first.

When they came, they had done a lot of homework.

I know that the dean of Chang'an Military Academy has a very weird personality and must not be judged by common sense.

Li Zhi's throat was also tight with hunger.

The topographic map in front of him was drawn to him like a ghost painting.

How could he draw a topographical map?

But there was no way, he didn't dare to hand over a blank piece of paper, otherwise Zhao Chen wouldn't deal with him.

Now hearing Zhao Chen say that he could have lunch, Li Zhi felt a little moved.

The sky and the earth are huge, and the food is the biggest.

But what Li Zhi is worried about is that Zhao Chen has created another trap for him.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhi still didn't dare to take action.

However, Zhao Chen stopped talking and greeted Cheng Chumo, Li Ke and others, as well as all the government officials, to have lunch.

The government officials also went too far.

He took the bowl and chopsticks and stood next to the candidates and started eating.

The rich aroma of the food made all the candidates even more hungry.

Dean, I want to eat! A candidate suddenly stood up, picked up the scrawled topographic map in front of him and shouted to Zhao Chen.

Hand in the topographic map and get your own bowls and chopsticks. Zhao Chen pointed to the table in front of him.

The candidate hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and placed the topographic map on the table in front of Zhao Chen.

Then he picked up the bowls and chopsticks that had been placed aside and started serving the rice.

With the first person to eat crabs, Li Zhi could not hold back.

The second one picked up the topographic map in front of him and handed it to the table in front of Zhao Chen, and resolutely ate his meal.

In Li Zhi's view, even if he was beaten to death by Zhao Chen later, he would have to give him a full meal first.

After the second one, the third one, the fourth one...

More and more candidates got up to turn in their papers and eat.

Soon there were not many bowls and chopsticks left on the table.

Pei Xingjian looked at the fewer and fewer bowls and chopsticks on the table, and was suddenly shocked.

He took the topographic map that he had considered countless times and handed it to Zhao Chen.

Then he grabbed the last few sets of bowls and chopsticks and successfully ate his meal.

The last set of dishes and chopsticks was taken away by a candidate.

There were still more than 400 candidates in the examination room who were not moving.

When another candidate turned in his paper and wanted to eat, he found that there were no bowls and chopsticks.

Da Zhao, there are no more bowls and chopsticks. How about I ask someone to get them? Cheng Chumo asked Zhao Chen when he saw the candidate standing far away in embarrassment.

Zhao Chen put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at the hundreds of candidates who were still in front of him.

Today's assessment is over, you can all go back.

Let someone give each of them ten guan of silver and go back to their hometown. Zhao Chen waved his hand and said to the remaining candidates who had not yet made any move.
