Chapter 24 Planting next to each other, survival of the fittest
The content of the assessment at the beginning of autumn is relatively normal, in line with the theme of solar terms, and tests both ability and endurance. It is completely in line with Xue Wenzhong's consistent style. He himself is a hard-working and dedicated person.
The reaction of the officials was not as big as the last time Chen Shijie asked the question. Even if they did not get good grades in the exam, they could only blame themselves for their own incompetence.
However, after Zhao Xing walked into Baicao Garden, he still discovered something unusual.
"The seedling area is unremarkable. There are enough quantities for the officials to choose from, but the planting area is a bit crowded, isn't it?"
Zhao Xing glanced at the planting area and found that the planting area was not very big. It was only the size of a football field. For reference, even if there were less than five hundred people, there were always three or four hundred.
There is no limit to the number of plants, so the officials will definitely plant more than one plant.
Especially the strong will definitely occupy a larger territory in order to ensure their advantage.
That leaves little room for others.
"There is something wrong with the layout." Zhao Xing opened his bright eyes and after scanning around, he could see the layout of the planting area more clearly.
"The planting area is square, with twelve springs distributed there, and thirty-six piles of grass ashes. There are standing signs next to the grass ashes, marking the restricted area that cannot be moved."
"In other words, the location of the twelve springs and thirty-six piles of ash is the best planting area."
"It's clear to let the officials grab the territory."
Near the spring, casting Rain and Cloud will have a beneficial effect. Grass ash is fertilizer and can accelerate growth.
Needless to say, this was arranged by Chen Shijie.
With Xue Wenzhong's character, he would definitely not pose such a question, and as the chief officer, Chen Shijie could not get around him in any question. Mr. Chen, who came from Xishan County and had served as a military sergeant, liked to ask confrontational questions the most.
"The layout and setting of the planting area must have been added by him." Zhao Xing licked his lips, and after hearing the assessment standards clearly, seeing the assessment site clearly, and figuring out the examiner's intention, he immediately started taking action.
Before other officials noticed the doorway, he took the lead and quickly ran to the northeast corner of the planting area.
"Xingyun! Appear!"
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a dark cloud immediately gathered above the northeast corner.
The clouds rolled and relaxed, tumbling 7 times in total, and the clouds moved around seven times!
When it is completely stable, cover the two spring wells below and three piles of grass ash.
How to fight for land between farmers and farmers? Of course it’s Xingyun!
The cloud-moving spell is exclusive. Occupying this piece of sky is equivalent to occupying the territory below.
Dare to plant under other people's walking clouds? I'm afraid not even a single blade of grass can survive.
Zhao Xing was accustomed to confrontation in his previous life, so in this huge examination room, he was the first to clearly see the examiner's intention, and he was also the first to hold up the clouds and occupy the venue.
"Not bad, not bad~" Chen Shijie, who was watching from a hill in the distance, stroked his beard and chuckled.
This was the second time he paid attention to Zhao Xing. Last time, Zhao Xing took the lead in finding the right way to deal with the Grain-eating Bird natural disaster test.
When he asked a question and people guessed what it was about, Chen Shijie felt like, "This question has won my heart."
He asked Xue Wenzhong: "Growing next to each other, survival of the fittest, what does Mr. Xue think of my changes?"
Xue Wenzhong nodded slightly and said: "Master Chen's change, I'm afraid the officials below will have to fight for their heads before the planting has started, but it is more interesting than the old setup."
According to Xue Wenzhong's test, the officials were in harmony after planting, but the process must have been very boring, and it is completely different now.
Chen Shijie said leisurely: "The world has never been peaceful. The only one that is peaceful is my dynasty. Prepare for a rainy day. Survival of the fittest is a late-born style. I hope Mr. Xue won't take offense."
Facing Chen Shijie's narration, Xue Wenzhong nodded in agreement. Gao Linong, Tang Wanchun and other adjutants who were watching together, although they disagreed in their hearts, they also agreed with the Shangguan.
"Buzz~" "Buzz~" "Buzz~"
Zhao Xing was not the only one who moved quickly. After entering the field, the best players soon appeared and began to compete for resources.
Clouds rose from the planting area, big or small, black or white, and soon filled the entire planting area.
However, there are only twelve springs and wells, and there are only thirty-six ash piles, so they are destined to be unable to separate them.
Ever since, the dispute began.
"Brother Liang Bai, this place is too crowded and I can't move. How about you give way?"
"Li Chengfeng?" Liang Bai suddenly turned around, saw a figure not far away, and his expression changed. After thinking about it for a moment, he had to give in and maintain his dignity: "Since Brother Li is asking for help, I will do whatever I want."
After saying that, he shrunk the clouds above his head and moved the clouds to another place.
"Boom!" Li Chengfeng stretched his hand toward the sky, and a dark cloud spanning a hundred meters appeared. After a few turns, it occupied three spring wells and four piles of grass ash in one breath. At the same time, a thunder snake appeared on the edge of the cloud layer, declaring its sovereignty.
When Wen Nanxing walked to the north, the clouds were the second to lift up, only one step slower than Zhao Xing.
He occupies two spring wells, four stacks of grass ash, and the clouds are as strong as a long sword. The sword hilt is black and the sword body is white. Lightning condenses on the sword body, like seven stars, which is very magical.
"Walking the clouds into a sword? I'm afraid Wen Nanxing has already perfected the clouds and has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants."
"Not only the clouds are perfect, but the thunder and lightning condense into stars, I'm afraid the same is true."
"Can't fight, can't fight."
When those who came later saw this, they were frightened and had no choice but to avoid Wen Nanxing's territory.
To the southwest of the planting area, the third cloud layer rises, and there are four tiger heads distributed in the four corners, occupying three springs and three piles of ash.
There were several other clouds rising at the same time as this strange cloud, but as the tiger-headed cloud expanded, they refused to let it go, and instead slammed into it.
"boom!"
The tiger's head was covered with a layer of blue-purple by lightning. After the flash, a huge gap appeared in the clouds surrounding it, and it was shaking.
Under the tiger-headed cloud, Xiao Ze cupped his hands in all directions: "I accept."
Most of the people who besieged Xiao Ze were those who were on the top list last time. Seeing that they couldn't fight, they gave up their thoughts. Xiao Ze was able to withstand the test and occupy a place.
But not everyone knows how to advance and retreat, and it is easy to distinguish between superior and superior. There are always some who are about the same strength and refuse to give in, and are not so friendly with each other.
"Huang Siping, you are a short winter melon that is aging prematurely. You hang out with Li Chengfeng and you think you are also at the fourth level of Juyuan? How dare you come to rob me?!"
"Bastard, you actually insulted me?"
"Wang Hao, you didn't get a C grade in the last quiz and didn't even make it to the B list. How dare you compete with me? Do you think I, Lei Yun, am not strong?!"
"My thunder is not bad! Look at the collision!"
Less than a quarter of an hour after the exam started, the sky in the planting area started to roar, and there were endless shouts of curses. There were strong winds, lightning, heavy rain, and clouds in the sky. It was so chaotic!
When Chen Shijie saw this scene, he burst out laughing. He simply moved a few tables, chairs and benches, placed a few plates of dried fruits and meat and rice wine, and invited the officials to sit down.
"Everyone, please take your seats and watch the joy of autumn with me!"
