Three days later, Shen Xizhen changed into a handsome boy with a face like a crown of jade, and Pepper changed into a middle-aged man who was ten years older than his actual age, and his identity was Xizhen's servant.

After sending the two to the country of Mao, Liu Xianchen returned to the country of Xi, and Shen Xizhen and Pepper stayed at the Yuelai Inn that they had originally agreed with Liu Ming. It is only two miles away from the imperial palace of the Mao Kingdom.

Early the next morning, Shen Xizhen and Pepper walked along the outside of the palace.

In this way, Xizhen is not only familiar with the topography of this area, but also observes its rise and fall.

Then, the two quietly returned to the inn.

In the early days of the dynasty, Liu Ming, the prime minister of the Mao State, admonished Deng Yanjin, the monarch of the Mao State: "Your Majesty, the economic situation of the Mao State has greatly improved compared with before after joining the Four-Power Alliance, but the talent is still in a very scarce state, so the Weichen dare to mention yì - also learn from the Xi State 'raise talents', accept the recommendation of the people and the government, and make every effort to collect talents, so that the virtuous people of the Mao State can be useful, and the second is to solve our current situation of talent scarcity." ”

"Isn't that already the case in our annual imperial examinations?" Deng Yan disagreed.

"No, your majesty, after all, the talents obtained by the imperial examination are limited, coupled with the restrictions of the system, there will definitely be a lot of pearls left behind in the people, if we can recruit talents without sticking to one pattern, it is very likely to harvest unexpected surprises." Liu Ming hurriedly added.

Deng Yan thought about it and felt that what he said was reasonable, so she agreed.

It doesn't hurt to try it anyway.

And the ministers also agreed with Liu Ming's suggestion.

"Then Aiqing, you go back and write down the implementation plan. I'd better arrange someone to do it as soon as possible. Deng Yan said with a spring breeze on his face.

"No, Emperor Xie!" Liu Ming hurriedly answered, secretly happy in his heart.

Night. Liu Ming quietly came to the Yuelai Inn to see Shen Xizhen.

As soon as he came in and saw Shen Xizhen, who had changed his appearance, Liu Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised-her disguise technique was really clever! Looking at her like this, she seems to have changed completely, and even her temperament has changed, if he can't still hear and distinguish people, I'm afraid he really won't recognize her.

"This is information about your new identity." Liu Ming hurriedly handed them two pieces of paper.

The one that Xi Zhen saw himself reads: "Lu Ling, male, twenty years old, his parents died early." Since childhood, he has followed his uncle to the north and south, is good at reading poetry and books, and is resourceful......"

Pepper's one reads, "Wishing the way." Male, 30 years old, Lu Ling's fellow villager, orphan. When he was young, he went to Siqingshan to learn art from Yunkong Daochang. Proficient in boxing and swordsmanship......"

Judging from the descriptions of these two new identities, both of them have their own talents, and they can go to the scene of 'promoting talents' to try.

"Is everything done in Wuzhou?" Xi Zhen asked Liu Ming. Not afraid of ten thousand, she was afraid of what if, she was worried that someone would investigate their identities.

"It's been sorted out, the uncle and the Yunkong Dao Elder mentioned on this paper are indeed their own people, and I have already said hello to them." Liu Ming pointed to their new identities and explained.

"Okay." Xi Zhen smiled, and Pepper breathed a sigh of relief.

"When will the 'Talent Enhancement' event be held?" Xi Zhen asked calmly.

"It should be within half a month." Liu Ming said.

"That's good. Then we'll wait for news from you. Xizhen said.

"With your talent, I believe you will soon be appreciated by Deng Yan." Liu Ming said with great certainty.

"That's a must. Otherwise, our actions will be in vain. Xizhen said.

"Uh-huh, too." Liu Ming nodded.

"What are Deng Yan's preferences?" Xi Zhen asked again.

Liu Ming listed them one by one.

Xi Zhen remembered them one by one.

Let's talk. Shen Xizhen already knew eighty percent of Deng Yan and his person, and he became more and more confident in his next move.

After sending Liu Ming away, Xizhen said to Pepper: "It is estimated that they will still need some time to prepare, let's start to go around tomorrow, so that we can familiarize ourselves with the customs here, so that we can not answer when people ask." ”

"Okay." Pepper hurriedly replied.

"From today onwards, you will also practice your language more and strive to speak it correctly." Hee Zhen reminded him.

"Mm-hmm, I'll try."

Ten days later, Liu Ming came to inform him that the activity of 'promoting talents and recruiting talents' will be held at Xizhimen tomorrow morning.

The two smiled and nodded.

It's finally time to take the first step in the country!

Early the next morning, Shen Xizhen and Pepper went straight to the scene.

But the people who saw the scene were divided into two teams, one team was Wenbi, and the other team was Wubi, which could recommend others or themselves, but the recommended person must come to the scene within three days to be tested.

Shen Xizhen naturally went to Wenbi's side, and Pepper was on Wubi's side.

It was almost noon when it was Shen Xizhen's turn, and the examiner was obviously a little tired and was rubbing his forehead.

When he raised his eyes to look at Shen Xizhen, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that as a man, the person in front of him was indeed too charming, but how good he looked, this also made the examiner feel energetic.

The examiner looked at the materials she handed over and asked, "Your name is Lu Ling, right?" ”

"Yes." Happy.

Why does this sound a little weird? The examiner's brow furrowed.

"Examiner, can you start?" Shen Xizhen didn't give him much time to think, and asked hurriedly.

"Oh, of course, let's start now, I have a total of 300 questions here, if you can answer 100 questions correctly, you can be recruited, if you can answer 300 questions, you can directly enter the think tank, do you understand?"

"Understood, examiner."

"Okay, the first question: born in the mountains, the same color, come to the world, there is green and red, hit an item."

"Tea." Shen Xizhen replied without thinking about it.

The examiner was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and continued to read: "White as jade, wearing a yellow robe, only a little big, all of them are treasures of treasures, and they are playing items." ”

"Rice."

"One room, three doors, and half a man living in it."

"Pants." Xi Zhen sighed in her heart as she answered—what a strange question.

"Half of the cover, half of the dew, half of the sun comes out to dry."

“…… Tile. ”

"Little Zhuge Liang, sitting alone in the military tent, forming a gossip array, and catching flying generals."

"Spiders. No doubt. ”

"In a year, there are months like January with 31 days, and there are months like June with 30 days. Excuse me, what are the months of the 28 days?"

"Every month."

……………

A hundred questions have been answered.

200 questions have been answered.

I have also answered 300 questions.

And all are accurate answers.

The examiner's hand holding the question trembled. (To be continued......)
