"When a woman enters the fifth room, remember to line up properly. After entering, find a seat for yourself …"
"Come here because you understand medicine and know how to do mechanical things. See the sign written here? There are words on the door, you all recognize them. Don't go to the wrong place, the exam is different. If you enter the wrong place, you might not be able to answer any questions. How can you be worthy of Princess Anning then?"
After entering the designated room, they discovered that the arrangement here was very strange. There were rows of long stools, each of which could seat seven or eight people. In front of the long stools was a board that was only fifty centimeters wide and as long as a stool.
Every 60 centimeters, there was a piece of paper on the table with numbers written on it. Everyone understood that a number represented a person.
He never thought that with such a small Heaven's End City, there would be over two thousand people participating in the exam. Just entering the examination had already taken two hours, and after the examination hall was filled up, the people behind were arranged to return home and wait for the next round.
This was something Dongfang Ning had never expected. Unexpectedly, there were quite a number of people here. The eight temporary halls that she had ordered her men to set up could seat 200 people each.
She was incomparably excited as she watched the scene unfold from afar. As long as there were many people who could read, she would be able to complete her plan sooner.
"Ning'er, how are you going to use all these people?"
Yan Wuzhan came to her side. It was unknown what was on his mind that made him so happy when he saw her beaming.
"Management, all sorts of different levels of management. With management, even if there's no master guarding this place, there won't be any problems with the Heaven's End City!"
"Do you know, if one of the ten people can be saved, then our Heaven's End City will be saved. Don't be afraid that the people will learn more, and instead teach them more, as long as our conditions are good enough, no matter how much money others give them, they will not betray our Heaven's End City."
Dongfang Ning was very confident that as long as the management of Heaven's End City was more advanced than that of other regions, they would be able to reach the top of the other cities.
After the examination hall was filled with examinees, one of the examiners stood in front of the table to explain the preparations for the examination.
"Now, write your name and address on the paper according to the number on the table. For example: Number 1 is XXX. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Alright, start writing your names. Remember to write down your family's address. Remember your name and the number on your table. The time it takes to write your name is one stick of incense. Begin!"
The invigilator took an incense burner, lit it up, and went inside to carry the exam papers. Their first test was very simple, it was just a blank piece of paper with a question written on it:
1. What is it for?
How to treat the population?
How can the harvest be improved?
Simple, straightforward, it was just three questions. The main examiner passed down the exam papers, and after everyone had a copy of it, he said to everyone:
"Now let me tell everyone the rules. Write your names and numbers on the test paper, which are the numbers and names you used to write your names. Now, everyone needs to hurry up and finish the test and hand it over after you finish. For the second round in the afternoon, you will sit down according to your seats, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The proctor lit another incense stick, took out four more incense burners and stuck them in:
"There are four incense sticks of time in total. The answers are simple and without any nonsense. In order to save everyone the time needed to grind the ink, there is a well-grinded ink here. If you run out, you can fill it up."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads and began answering the questions without saying anything else. There wasn't much time left, and those students didn't think that the questions would be so simple. What they didn't know was that the simpler the questions, the more they knew about one's character.
Dongfang Ning had already led twenty men to wait behind to read the papers.
She paid attention to efficiency and did not waste any time. Now that she had to appoint people who could take on important tasks for temporary management, she decided to assign the officials a temporary position. If she wanted to keep working, she would need to obtain results, otherwise she would have to be demoted so that she could appoint the wrong people.
"There are so many exam papers. How are you going to finish them in two and a half hours?"
Yan Wuzhan had been keeping this question in his heart for a long time. There were only 20 people here, and each of them had a different point of view. She said that it would take her at least two hours to finish reading nearly 2000 papers, so how could she do that?
In a while, all of you will hold up the exam papers. I alone will read through it quickly. The eight of you will be responsible for picking up the eight rooms' exam papers.
One person to look at it?
The others were only here to hold the papers and record the numbers she reported?
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. They thought that the examination room they had chosen was extremely useful. Who would have thought that they were only here to pick up the papers?
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know how she was going to grade the paper. Was it fair?
He couldn't help but to turn his eyes towards Yan Wuzhan. Battle King, do you think that what the wangfei did was reliable?
It was just that someone didn't even look at them, only looking at Dongfang Ning with a silly smile. Their future prospects were too strange, so he didn't care what she did. Everything was up to her.
As if she felt Yan Wuzhan's gaze on her, Dongfang Ning turned around and smiled at him.
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
"En, This King believes in you!" He was already dizzy from her laughter. He resisted the urge to embrace her and sat quietly to one side, accompanying everyone else.
She didn't know that she was dressed in white, appearing elegant and ethereal like a fairy. If she continued to smile faintly, a man would be lured away …
Thinking about this, Yan Wuzhan looked around coldly. Luckily, all his subordinates lowered their heads and pretended to be drinking tea, no one was staring at Dongfang Ning. He then glued his eyes onto her with satisfaction, temporarily satisfying his possessiveness.
Finally, the first batch of papers was sent in. Dongfang Ning asked the eight people in charge of recording to write down the numbers of which group they were assigned, then ordered the other eight people to hold up the papers in their hands one by one.
At first, everyone thought it would be very slow, but who knew that she would read it very quickly?
After glancing at the first person who had lifted up the exam paper in room 1, she didn't say anything. She then looked at the second person, and the first person quickly changed to another.

"Pass!"
"Room 7's record is wrong. Your round is over. No one has been chosen. Be more serious!"
She would say eight times in each round, the first time was Room 1, the second time was Room 2, and so on and so forth. At first, no one understood what was going on, but after a while, they found out what was going on.
