Li Er was puzzled by the strange scene in the room. He lowered his voice and asked, "Ziyou, this is the second test you got out?"
"Yes, uncle, don't be impatient. This test will soon be known." Li forgot to explain at this time and continued to sell.
Li Er and several big men looked at each other. They were all confused, but they could only bear to continue to observe.
Just look at the children in that room. They stare at the candy on several cases without blinking. They obviously want to eat it.
However, it seems that the child still has some scruples. He endured and endured. He picked up the candy in front of him several times, looked at it and put it down.
But the child finally couldn't resist the temptation of candy. After taking it up and licking it, he couldn't help it anymore and ate candy happily.
Seeing this, Li Qieyou shook his head and said to Li Er and others, "unfortunately, the child has insisted for half the time, but he finally failed and failed the retest."
Li Er glared at him discontentedly: "Ziyou, tell me clearly why this young boy is unqualified? But after eating that candy, you won't allow him to enter the academy? What's the reason?"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other leaders also nodded repeatedly. They obviously agreed with Li Er's words. They also didn't understand the scene in front of them.
Li forgot to worry and said with a smile, "uncle and Duke, don't worry. Listen to my nephew explain slowly. These children are naturally very intelligent children, otherwise they won't pass the first test."
Li Er nodded, and he naturally agreed.
Even thinking that he was a great emperor and was "killed" by a child playing with toys, Li Er couldn't help but shush. He secretly said to himself, what demons are Li forgetful?
Li Er is quite satisfied that Datang academy can recruit these brilliant children.
He has even begun to imagine that ten years later, will this group of intelligent children leave the academy to attend Chunwei shocked the government and the public?
But in Li Er's eyes, the very intelligent child was eliminated by Li forgetful in such a nonsense way and was not allowed to enter the Academy, which made Li Er a little angry.
"Hum, since Ziyou know this, why do you say that this child is unqualified? You have made it clear to me!"
Li Qieyou smiled and touched his nose: "uncle, in fact, the truth is very simple. Such children lack perseverance and can't become great weapons. Uncle knows that if they have no perseverance, they can't achieve anything just by intelligence. Therefore, my nephew designed this re examination question to select those children with perseverance."
Li Er was stunned when he heard the speech. He thought carefully about Li's forgetful words, but he must admit that it was very reasonable.
Whether it is stealing light from a wall, or hanging a beam and stabbing a stock, hearing a chicken dance, these allusions all illustrate the necessity of studying hard.
He just doesn't understand that if a child is allowed to sit indoors and put a piece of candy, how can he see whether he has perseverance or not?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li forgot to worry and continued to explain: "uncle and Duke, before the test began, the college assistant told these children that the candy in front of them can be eaten. But if they didn't eat it before the assistant came back, they can get an extra piece of candy."
"Then what?" Li Er still didn't understand.
Li Qieyou shrugged his shoulders: "naturally, when the teaching assistant returns, the children who don't eat the candy are qualified, and those who eat them are unqualified."
"What's the reason?"
Li forgot to worry and scratched his head. He didn't know how to explain it.
He did these tests, in fact, from later generations.
In the 1960s, an American professor designed the experiment.
After eating candy experiment is one of the simplest and most successful experiments in the world.
Through observation, the professor found that one third of the children ate candy immediately after he left; One third insisted on half, then could not bear it, gave up and continued to wait; Only one third of the children persisted to the end and were rewarded.
The professor has been tracking these children and knows that 14 years later, these children will graduate from high school, enter colleges and universities or start working.
The professor continued to conduct further research on these children and found that the children who ate candy immediately in those years often lacked self-confidence and did not get along well with their peers.
The children who finally got the reward and ate the candy were excellent in communication skills, independent and outstanding in blood.
Even the test scores of waiting children are much higher than those who do not wait.
Li's Datang academy wants to select elite students. Naturally, he wants to select those children who are willing to "wait" and have self-control.
However, Li forgot to worry about these things, but he couldn't explain them to Li Er and a group of big men. Facing Li Er's inquiry, he could only vaguely say: "children who eat candy later have more self-control and must be able to study hard. Therefore, my nephew chose this way."
His explanation naturally did not satisfy Li Er and others.
The eldest sun Wuji said, "Ziyou, your method seems a little whimsical. How can you be sure that a child who can eat sugar later is a person with perseverance?"
"The reason is very simple. The temptation of candy to children is no less than that of high officials and high salaries to adults. If these children know how to choose or not when they are young, won't they be more able to control themselves when they grow up?"
Li Er frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Ziyou's words are reasonable."
Seeing that Li Er had spoken, they stopped talking and just continued to watch the college entrance test.
Today's college enrollment, Li Qieyou advertised in the ball newspaper in advance, so there was a sensation not only in Chang'an City, but also in the surrounding states and counties.
The number of people who came to sign up did not decrease, but there was a growing trend.
In just half a day, the college's teaching assistants tested nearly 5000 or 6000 Mongolian children, but only a few hundred passed the two tests.
Even Li Er and others smack at such an exaggerated admission ratio.
"Ziyou, how can I study in the academy? I think it's more difficult than Chunwei?" Kong Yingda, the Imperial College supervisor, was surprised at the enrollment of the Academy.
Li forgot to worry and spread his hands: "hey hey, the academy can only recruit more than 500 Mongolian children. There is no way."
Although he said so, he was so angry that Kong Yingda wanted to beat people.
Kong Yingda was shocked when he saw the appearance of college enrollment. If the demons Mengtong recruited by Li forget you join Chunwei ten years later, what will happen to the students of the Imperial College?
However, Kong Yingda is an open-minded old man. When he thinks that it will be ten years later, he doesn't worry anymore. Anyway, at that time, the sacrifice of the Imperial College must not be his. It's not his turn to worry about such things.
Anyway, out of sight and out of mind, the old man wants to be open.
In August of the third year of Zhenguan, the famous Tang academy opened the prelude to the Tang stage
