Chapter 221 Admissions Test

No one realized that the employee residential community failed to complete the sales as expected, a large part of the reason was the hot sales of Linhu Villa.

Li Chengqian was also thinking for a long time and couldn't come up with any specific solutions, so he could only hand over this matter to Qiuxiang. He had no time to pay attention to housing anymore.

There are only seven days left before the start of the Medical College and Military Academy. Not to mention the Medical College for now, the Military Academy will soon begin to conduct admission tests and screening of prospective students who have registered.

"Your Highness, preliminary statistics show that there are currently more than 8,600 students who have registered."

"Eight thousand people..." Li Chengqian frowned again after hearing Ma Zhou's report. According to the plan, the number of students that each session can carry is 1,000. If you recruit once a year, all students will be recruited in five years... More than 8,000 people have signed up for the first session, which is logically a lot, but Li Chengqian is really dissatisfied!

These more than 8,000 people have only registered the basic information and have not started to screen. If they are screened in rounds according to the pre-developed screening standards... the quota of 1,000 people will definitely be unsatisfied, but if the recruitment standards are lowered, Li Chengqian is extremely unhappy!

This is the first military academy in Chinese history and even in the world history. The first student of the first class will definitely be remembered by history. If it is not strictly screened, if there are several "expressions" of "one general is incompetent to exhaust the three armies", then will Li Chengqian's face be thrown away?

"Forget it, calculate as much as you can, it's better to have nothing than to be too much!"

Ma Zhou nodded, "Then the official will go and prepare for tomorrow's test!"

"Go... By the way, if my younger brothers come to register, they will be treated strictly in accordance with the college's rules and regulations, and there is no need to be any, do you understand?"

"Yes, I'm down and the government!"

Ma Zhou was busy, but Li Chengqian rubbed his temples with some distress.

There is no way. Yesterday, my father had some trouble with it and asked Li Tai, Li You and others to sign up for the Military Academy!

I am only thirteen years old this year, how old are my younger brothers? Isn’t it a joke to send them to the Military Academy at such a young age?

But His Majesty Li Er's wish was very firm, saying that he had already gone to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and going to a military academy was not on the battlefield. Li Tai and others were more than enough!

What made Li Chengqian even more troubled was that when he learned that His Majesty Li Er's young princes could enter the military academy to study, all the princes, nobles, civil and military officials also came to him, hoping that his young children could also enter the military academy.

In desperation, Li Chengqian had to discuss with Li Jing and others that he decided to set up a separate "outsider class" in addition to the original enrollment plan to specifically accommodate the children of these princes and nobles who have not yet reached the enrollment age of the military academy.

...

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is August 14, the fifth year of Zhenguan. This day is destined to be remembered by future generations - the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, proposed by Prince Li Chengqian, will begin enrollment assessment today!

Early in the morning, prospective students who had already registered basic information in the Military Academy in advance, gathered at the Military Academy in the southeast corner of Chang'an City with excitement, anxiety, or calmness.

The main entrance of the Military Academy, which has always been covered by wooden boards and straw, finally lifted the mysterious veil!

The first thing that caught my eye was the statue carved from a whole piece of white marble, about three meters high - a man held Ma Shuo in one hand and held the reins tightly with the other hand, his mouth wide open, his face with murderous aura, and he glared at the front. The war horse under his crotch was also in front of him, and he was neighing for a long time... The whole sculpture was the perfect embodiment of His Majesty Li Er when he rushed on the battlefield!

After the statue, there is also a college gate built with white marble. Above the front, the eight bright red characters of the "Da Tang Royal Military Academy" are shining under the rising sun, making people feel a solemn atmosphere! Especially the reliefs of the image of soldiers and generals fighting on various battlefields on the gate make people understand that although this is just an institution of learning, it is not a comfortable place!

On both sides of the door posts are a couplet engraved - the first couplet: Please go elsewhere if you get promoted and get rich! The second couplet: Don’t enter this door if you are greedy for life and fear death!

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian still felt that this couplet from a military academy in later generations was the most suitable for the military academy. Although it was simple, it fully explained the essence of the military academy!

At the gate post, ten soldiers standing each with sharp swords hanging around their waists, long leather boots, and large military caps standing on their heads, with a cold face and sharp eyes staring at the prospective students who were about to enter the academy to take the test!

The scene at the entire gate immediately calmed down the noisy scene, especially the twenty soldiers on both sides. When they looked at everyone, they felt a cool air rising from the soles of their feet and heading, and unconsciously became serious!

...

When you walk into the college gate, there is a stone road that is 10 meter wide. Various flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the road, which looks quiet and elegant. It makes the prospective students who were originally a little nervous because of the solemn scene at the school gate relax again in an instant.

At the end of the stone road is a wide square. At this time, a row of tables have been placed side by side in the square. Seeing the signs erected high on the side, the prospective students understood that this is the place to receive the test cards. Only by receiving the test cards can they participate in the next formal test!

Li Chengqian was also here at this time, but he was sitting in a registration office specially set up for the princes and children who did not meet the age standards and his younger brothers, waiting for the half-grown children to receive the test cards.

What he didn't expect was that the first person to come to receive the test card was his third brother Li Ke!

"Third brother, why did you sign up too?"

"My brothers have signed up, of course I can't fall behind either!"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke with a strange expression and asked, "Are you really sure you want to join the Military Academy?"

"Yes, my Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and my father and emperor have been in war for half his life. As a prince, how can I not be in military affairs?"

"You have thought about it. Although the military academy is not as good as the battlefield, the hardships in it are not bad at all... Don't you really can't stand it and then give up. It's too late to regret it!"

"Don't worry, brother, I will never back down!"

"Well, I hope you remember what you said today!"

Li Chengqian was speechless and was also very sympathetic about Li Ke's decision to register suddenly and to study in the Military Academy. He was very clear about what happened to the Military Academy. After all, almost everything was designed by him. Think about the scene of these half-aged children on the training ground... Ami Tofu, may God bless you!

...

After all the prospective students who arrived received the test cards, everyone went out of the college gate again and came outside Chang'an City!

Qin Qiong, who was in charge of the entire test, glanced at everyone expressionlessly and said aloud: "The first test, starting from here, run in Chang'an City, those who returned within the specified time passed, and those who did not return were eliminated!"

The prospective students never expected that the first round of tests was so simple, just running... Many of them were natives in Chang'an and were not unfamiliar with running around Chang'an, so they were a little happy. However, when they really started running, they realized that they were thinking too simple...
