I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 265 I Just Want to See This

This is Li Moss's plan.

To select the smartest citizens, a written test will be conducted directly.

Although it was so rudimentary that the people could only look at the questions and write the answers on the mud, it was sufficient for small-scale testing.

The twenty-nine people each chose their own positions and lined up, with each person at least seven steps apart.

At this distance, the faint light from the fire only allowed them to barely see the muddy ground in front of them.

There is virtually no possibility of cheating.

After understanding, the twenty-nine people took tree branches, squatted down, and began to write.

They looked up at the question, then looked down to think.

Li Mosi and the other three could see everything clearly.

Watching her subjects carve marks on the ground with twigs, the saintess couldn't help but nod.

She spoke softly.

"Although it's not very presentable, it's not bad at all."

It's quite useful for filtering residents.

Her voice mingled with the snoring sounds from all around, and Li Mosi, standing next to her, could only barely make it out.

This made him somewhat curious.

"You wouldn't do that?"

In his mind, even if the system of a world with magic seemed somewhat similar to the medieval period before he traveled through time, its productivity should be much higher.

Like a knight's armor.

Even if you can't make plate armor from a single piece of iron, you should be able to make something functionally similar using magical welding.

After all, the demand is always there.

"no."

The saintess gently shook her head, squinting as she met Li Mosi's gaze.

"No matter how much parchment you have, it will always have a use. How could you possibly use it to make this?"

Writing this kind of thing?

Does that mean you have to throw it away after writing it once?

Even the Pope wouldn't waste it like this!

This craftsman is strange.

Even though she knew many things she didn't understand, she still asked about common knowledge about nobility.

What kind of country is his?

No.

"You should have wax boards, right?"

The original owner of this body lacked relevant knowledge, but Li Mosi had heard about it before she transmigrated.

Medieval merchants and nobles would write on wax tablets, and when the writing became outdated, they could restore it by heating it over a fire.

"Isn't that for practicing writing?"

The saintess's eyes, surrounded by dark circles, revealed a strange expression.

She looked down at her people again.

"Hiss~"

It seems like it can be used like that?

But there's no need for that.

Li Mosi saw Hagi Saint suddenly gasp and then shake his head.

She looked up again and then spoke.

"We don't need to use this method to screen smart people. Anyone who is smart can be identified while working, and we can just recommend them directly."

Haki Saint was just chatting and didn't explain things clearly.

However, that was enough for Li Mosi to understand a lot.

First of all, even if magic exists in this world, parchment is still the primary writing material.

There wasn't much surplus in production.

Secondly, wax boards are mainly used for practicing calligraphy, not for written exams.

Secondly, the selection of intelligent people from ordinary citizens should still be done through a recommendation system, recommending those who are smart and capable.

When the saintess saw him looking thoughtful, she felt something was off.

The act of "writing down the answer" is strange in itself.

Nobles often don't need to teach so many people at once; even when learning things like calculations, they can ask and answer questions verbally.

Selecting intelligent people from the general population can be done simply by doing the job; there's no need to teach them to calculate first and then test who learns best.

The reason this is that the craftsmen now need a large number of people to replace the original managers is because they are doing this job.

and many more……

A large number of people?

The saintess felt as if she had grasped something.

But what exactly did she grasp?

"This woman seems much more obedient now?"

Although Ziyi and Zian were watching the twenty-nine citizens to prevent them from cheating, they were secretly listening to the conversation between the two.

They felt they had heard some trivia about nobility.

But watching his master and Hagi Saint ponder, he felt there was something wrong with this.

Even if they realized it, they couldn't figure it out.

The two of them just felt that Haki was easier to communicate with than before.

At least it won't suddenly yell and scream like a wild animal.

"Hiss~"

"what……"

A sound suddenly came from among the people.

The four of them looked over together.

Several villagers were seen with their heads down, scratching their ears and cheeks, muttering something under their breath.

"Two plus four times two..."

"Add...is that not right?"

"Four-six...four-eight..."

Suddenly, Bohaji swung his arm and smeared it across the muddy ground.

He started carving again with a twig where he had erased the original.

Gradually, more and more people started counting on their fingers.

"Fifty-six plus one, two, three..."

Li Mosi looked up at the question.

Seven times eight plus three – this is the first problem in mixed operations.

It seems that most people have already reached the level of mixed operations.

Strictly speaking, the screening process only begins here.

After all, Ziyi had not yet taught the people the concept of "multiplication and division before addition and subtraction".

Not to mention the parentheses that follow.

This is knowledge that Lian Ziyi and Zi'an learned temporarily.

For the people, this depends entirely on their understanding.

If you want to select the smartest people, how can you do it without some challenging questions?

If you want to select the smartest people, how can you do it without some challenging questions?

Li Mosi himself wasn't the smartest person, but he had seen all sorts of outrageous exam content since he was a child.

He just wants to see the people in that other world suffer so much they're tearing their hair out in frustration!

As time went by, more and more of the leaders looked troubled.

But three people are clearly different.

"Alright, sir."

Abel was the first to stand up.

Bohaji looked up at her, quickly made a few scratches with a twig, and then stood up as well.

"I'm all better now."

"Me too."

Next up was Bakz.

Come here.

Zi Yi beckoned to the three of them, calling them to wait beside him.

About a minute after the three handed in their papers, someone else handed in their paper.

As more and more people handed in their papers, the remaining people became increasingly anxious, with some even squatting there trembling with anxiety.

Li Mosi looked at them and couldn't help but smile.

After waiting for a few more minutes, he spoke.

"Okay, stop."

All the people turned to look.

He spoke again.

"Stop writing, get up and stand up."

Li Mosi pointed to the person next to Zi Yi.

The people then realized what was happening and got up to leave their seats.

A few people hesitated for a few seconds, looking unwilling, before walking away.

Li Mosi started by looking at their exam papers.

This made their expressions even sadder.

Ziyi and Zian, holding the answers, also joined the grading team.

The results for the 29 exam papers were quickly obtained.

My thoughts are similar to Li Mo's.

The vast majority of people were able to memorize two tables after three days of hard work.

They can only perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division on a single pair.

These people are relatively intelligent among the people, but not the most intelligent.

Can serve as a squad leader.

Among these people, a small group with slightly more flexible minds choose to perform multiplication and division first, then addition and subtraction, in half of the mixed operation module, and perform addition and subtraction first, then multiplication and division.

Let's set aside whether the calculation is correct or not.

At least they tried to figure out how to solve the problem on their own.

He is qualified to serve as the captain.

The remaining five were truly intelligent people.
