Chapter 131 Selection

Qian Duoduo asked Zhao Houzhi to choose a few orphan children to use for her.

There is no age limit for these children, but they are required to be smart and clever, and not to take the imperial examination route. The most important thing is that they have to have good character.

It took a lot of trouble to select these five children.

As the saying goes, "Virtue and talent are finished products, virtue without talent is inferior, talent without virtue is a drug, and neither virtue nor talent is waste."

When Qian Duoduo told Zhao Houzhi her request, Zhao Houzhi thought Qian Duoduo was a little bit unrealistic.

Since you have both virtue and talent, why don't you take the exam to get a good reputation? Since you have neither virtue nor talent, you naturally wouldn't think of coming to the academy to study.

Most of the students who could come to his academy to study were orphans or children who could not afford to go to school. Most of them wanted to change their destiny through the imperial examination.

But Qian Duoduo said nonchalantly: "Don't always focus on your child who is going to take the science exam, but also pay attention to your children who are excellent in other areas.

For example, mathematics, kinesiology, art, agriculture, medicine, astronomy, etc., all of these are fine. There will always be talents in these areas. I just don’t need the top scorer in the science exam. I just need to be excellent in one aspect.”

Zhao Houzhi felt even more troubled after hearing this. They only taught some children to read and understand the truth. If there were really students who wanted to take the imperial examinations, he would usually recommend them to better academies.

To put it nicely, their academy is a college, but to put it bluntly, it is an asylum. How can it teach so much knowledge?

After listening to Zhao Houzhi's description, Qian Duoduo felt that he was careless.

She thought that by building a school for Zhao Houzhi, she could teach the children to read. She thought that what Zhao Houzhi taught was the content of the previous imperial examinations. How stupid!

It is not easy to build a school. It requires not only a large amount of educational resources, but also good teachers.

She just invested some money and didn't care about anything else. Even the teacher was found by Zhao Houzhi herself among her classmates.

How should she choose when faced with such children? She thought it would be great if she had a set of psychological tests, which would help her screen out more suitable children.

So, she asked Qian Yingjun to select a set of psychological tests from the system, focusing on tests of character and future career planning, which would make it easier for her to screen.

She immediately found Zhao Houzhi and said to him, "Well, you go and select some people who are willing to come to me, and you don't need to screen them for excellence.

Remember, they must be children who have no parents, no worries, and no desire to take the imperial examinations. You can select twenty for me first, and I will temporarily select seven to keep with me. The rest of the children will continue to attend classes at your place as usual. As for whether they will be used in the future, we can only wait and see."

Zhao Houzhi was still a little worried when he heard Qian Duoduo say that. Qian Duoduo knew there was something else going on when she saw his troubled expression. "What's wrong? Any other questions?"

"Yes, I'll do a preliminary calculation. Although you don't have any age requirements, a three or four-year-old child is definitely not acceptable. At least they have to be over eight years old. If they are too old, such as eighteen or nineteen, I don't think it will work either. Children of this age usually want to get married early, so I'm afraid they won't stay long.

I think the best age is between eight and twelve. This is the best age for children to learn anything, and there is not so much burden. "

Qian Duoduo frowned slightly, "Then what?"

"But there are only twelve such children." Zhao Houzhi said helplessly.

Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief. "That doesn't matter. Lower the age to six. They are all children who have experienced life and death. Six years old is not an age where they don't understand anything."

Zhao Houzhi nodded slightly to show his approval.

A few days later, Zhao Houzhi received 50 copies of the test papers sent by Qian Duoduo. He kept the rest for future use.

After screening by Zhao Houzhi, testing by test questions and screening by Qian Duoduo himself, five were finally selected.

There are two twin brothers, Guotai and Min'an. They are the oldest, twelve years old this year. But they are fraternal twins, so they don't look exactly the same.

Then there are the ten-year-olds, the eight-year-olds and the youngest, six-year-olds.

Qian Duoduo gave them names such as Guotai, Min'an, Aiguo, Fuqiang and Fazhi, and gave them the same surname, Jin.

Qian Duoduo also gave them code names, ranking them according to their age, from Jin Yi to Jin Wu.

Zhao Houzhi expressed in his heart that he did not understand this surname, but he respected it.

After selecting these children, Qian Duoduo made some preliminary direction adjustments based on their respective characteristics.

For example, Jin Yi and Jin Er are the oldest, and they are smart, sweet-talkers, and good at getting information. So Qian Duoduo usually looks for them first when he needs to run errands. Qian Duoduo also found a lot of books on communication skills in his space for them to read.

Jin San is currently the smartest, has the strongest reaction ability, is calm, and has the best academic performance among the group. So Qian Duoduo gave him a copy of "36 Strategies of War" and asked him to read it when he has nothing to do.

Jin Si was most interested in mathematics. Qian Duoduo gave him a math book and told him to read it when he had nothing to do. Sometimes he would take him to the shop to do the math and practice.

Jin Wu is the best at being cute. Qian Duoduo chose him because he is cute and likable. He hugs your thighs and calls you brother, brother, which is very heartwarming. So, I chose him. As for what he will do in the future, I haven't decided yet. However, I also gave him a medical book. I don't know if he can read it.

Therefore, we brought them to the villa this time, firstly, to train them; secondly, to see what they are really suitable for and which aspects to focus on cultivating in the future.

These children have all experienced the joys and sorrows of life, and their experiences are destined to make them have an extraordinary life growth experience.

Several people who were thought to be starving to death, found the meaning of life again with the help of Zhao Houzhi.

Not only can they have enough food and warm clothes, but they can also go to school, which was something they had never dared to imagine before.

Especially Guotai and Min'an. They are older and know more than them. They are the first batch of children who work in Qian Duoduo's shop to earn money and support their own education.

As for the other children, although they did not go out to earn money, their minds have long been comparable to those of adults and they are no longer as childish as their peers.

Because they know that they have no other support. Before they can support themselves, they must hold on to the big tree of the college. Only in this way can they avoid starving to death.

So, when Mr. Zhao explained the situation, everyone participated without hesitation, and in their hearts they were determined to get selected. This was another "battle" they faced. In the end, the five of them got what they wanted.
