Afterwards, according to the information from Zhao Changle's subordinates from Zhenyuan Pass, Sun Sheng himself was not in Zhenyuan Pass, and he returned to the capital of Wu State in a hurry for some reason a few days earlier. Such a result made Gongsun Jian a little confused, maybe there was something wrong with Wu Guo.

The pit that was originally dug for Sun Sheng was useless, so Gongsun Jian had no choice but to give up the plan and order Ma Teng, who was stationed in Dingxi County, to pay more attention and not to take it lightly. He himself returned to Linshui County to summon Xu Huaizhi and others, and asked them to formally break away from the establishment of the Vietnamese army and join his account, and then began to reorganize the 20,000 people, all of whom were reorganized after being disrupted according to the army model of Linshui County.

At first, some generals, including Xu Huaizhi, were still a little resistant and unwilling, but through a symposium after the confrontation, they realized that Gongsun Jian was not trying to exclude them and take away their power, but that the strength of their subordinates was really weak.

The story was very simple, Gongsun Jian knew that these generals of the Vietnamese army must have something dissatisfied in their hearts, so he asked Qi Shi to bring the people of the logistics reserve regiment and the 1,500 people selected by the other party to have a confrontation match. The two sides fought in array with wooden swords and guns, and after only one round, the logistics reserve regiment led by Qi Shi defeated the other party, and the battle loss ratio turned out to be one to seven. In other words, if it was a real battlefield, Qi Shi's side only killed more than 200 people and wiped out all the opponent's men.

Such a result was unbelievable to the former Vietnamese army generals. This is only the strength of the logistics reserve, wouldn't it be even worse if it competed with the regular combat corps under Gongsun Jian? In this regard, Gongsun Jian did not answer their questions directly.

In fact, Gongsun Jian knew it in his heart, don't look at the fact that Qi Shi led only a logistics reserve regiment, but it was almost the same as the regular station corps in terms of training equipment and other aspects. The reason why it is listed as a logistics reserve is actually a little careful thinking on the part of Gongsun Jian, firstly, it is to promote the competitive atmosphere between various troops, and secondly, it is also possible to use this name to leave part of the military expenses, after all, the salaries of the soldiers of the logistics reserve regiment and the soldiers of the combat regiment are different. But if you want to become a full-fledged soldier, then you must first join the logistics regiment for training, and when you are qualified, or the combat regiment has a shortage of battle losses, you can naturally be transferred to a regular replacement.

With the lesson of this time, those generals all threw themselves on the five bodies that Gongsun Jian admired, and they no longer objected to Gongsun Jian's orders, after all, the army spoke with strength. Soon the more than 20,000 people were reorganized into eight combat regiments and a logistics reserve regiment, totaling more than 16,000 people. As for the other eliminated personnel, according to their personal wishes, they can stay in Sanfu and settle down after dividing the fields, or they can return to their hometowns on their own with some severance pay.

In the end, about 2,000 eliminated people chose to stay in the three northwestern provinces under the control of Gongsun Jian, and the reason was very simple, the conditions here were good. Not only were they given land to cultivate by themselves, but many of them were directly assigned to local militia groups or county government jobs. This is a hundred times stronger than when they return to their homeland and have nothing. So even if these people are eliminated, they are also grateful to Gongsun Jian one by one.

Recently, Gongsun Jian has been very busy, busy recruiting people non-stop.

The land of the three northwestern prefectures has been taken down, and it has become a question of who can be used to manage it. What Gongsun Jian needed was not just a territory, but a future base where his new policies could be fully implemented and implemented. Although the new policy has been carried out in Linshui County and Dingxi County so far, it is only two county towns after all, and it is not so simple to extend it to three state capitals. Therefore, what kind of officials to appoint has become a hurdle in front of Gongsun Jian.

If you want to talk about officials, there is actually no shortage. There are many people in this world who have some talent and ability. Just like Feng Huaidao, not everyone is necessarily better than him, but those who are slightly worse than him are a lot of grabs. But the only problem is that these people have never worked with Gongsun Jian, and they don't understand Gongsun Jian's set, and it can even be said that many people are very resistant to the new policy that Gongsun Jian did.

Why? The reason is simple, he has undermined the control of the land of the family for thousands of years. The land that used to belong to private ownership is now all public, and you can cultivate it for generations, but you don't have the right to it. You can buy and sell usufruct rights, but the procedures are very cumbersome and strictly controlled.

Then there is the free compulsory education system implemented by Gongsun Jian, which has seriously dealt a blow to the monopoly of those families on reading. Without the monopoly on reading in the past, there will be more and more children from poor families who will become officials in the future, which will impact their status.

Finally, there is the issue of equal taxation for all, you must know that those families enjoy privileges and do not need to pay taxes, except for business income, of course, but that is only a symbolic payment. But nowadays, everyone, no matter what your background, must pay taxes as one, and there is no distinction between high and low.

It is precisely for the above reasons that Gongsun Jian not only failed to recruit those useful civil officials, but was also resisted to a large extent, and some state officials who had already served resigned one after another. This made Gongsun Jian very passive and very annoyed.

Without officials, there will be problems in the three prefectures under control, and some big families will begin to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Gongsun Jian issued an order in a fit of rage, 'Kill'! All the big families and local tyrants and inferior gentry in the three northwestern provinces, except for a few honest and obedient people, all those who instigated riots and did evil in the local area were all wiped out. For a time, the heads of the people killed in the land of Sanfu were rolling. There were more than 200 families and tens of thousands of people in the destroyed homes alone.

But killing people alone can't solve the problem, so after repeatedly discussing with Feng Huaidao, Liu Dayuan and others for a long time, Gongsun Jian finally decided to recruit with a high salary. Regardless of origin, regardless of country, regardless of gender, as long as you have the ability and ability to apply, the assessment is based on your ability to appoint an official position, in the case of a county order, the annual salary is five hundred taels of silver, which is nothing for some people with good family backgrounds, but in addition to these, the government also provides pension and medical insurance, at the end of the year according to your governing ability and evaluation, there will be a bonus ranging from one hundred to ten thousand taels, and during the term of office also enjoy all kinds of subsidies, such as housing, travel, clothing, etc.

In a word, as long as you can be qualified to become an official under Gongsun Jian, basically everything is covered by the government. But there is also the same thing, that is, you must have the ability and real ability. Otherwise, it's not as simple as a simple dismissal of office, and maybe even a small life may be over.

However, in the face of such a temptation, it still touched the hearts of many people, especially some scholars born in poor families. These people were not only from the Zhou State, because Gongsun Jian had Zhao Changle's intelligence system spread the news to the territory of the Wu State and the Qi State. It is clearly written on the recruitment notice that regardless of the country, it is to be able to attract more useful talents. Gongsun Jian's purpose is not just to occupy a Zhou country, but to have the world in mind.

Half a month after the news spread, people continued to apply for jobs in Linshui County, and it reached its peak more than a month later. There are even some people who come to apply for jobs with their families, and they have the meaning that they can't be recruited and want to settle here.

Because there were too many people, Gongsun Jian had to work out a set of assessment processes.

First of all, the post will publicize the various official positions to be recruited and the number of people required. Then after the applicants choose, fill in the form and write down their personal information and the position they are applying for, for example, if you are applying for the prefect, fill in the prefect, and if you apply for the prefect, fill in the prefect. Next up is the first level, arithmetic.

Gongsun Jian hates those useless literati who can only die reading, so he sets up an assessment of arithmetic at the first level, and you are a person who is ready to become an official who can't even do basic arithmetic, so you won't be killed by your subordinates in the future? Therefore, this level is the most basic, and the Chief Executive of the Audit Commission, Gong Yu Mai, is responsible for the assessment as the chief examiner.

As soon as many people entered the examination room, they saw that it was a six or seven-year-old girl sitting in the middle of the exam, and they couldn't help but have some doubts, and then some contempt and indignation, feeling that they had been tricked and looked down upon. But after the actual exam, they were dumbfounded.

The exam questions are very simple, they are all practical questions that are often used in daily life, such as how to calculate the area of the field, calculate the volume of the barn, and then the basic property in and out taxes, etc. The problem is not difficult, and the amount of calculation is not too large, but in this way, nearly half of the people were eliminated at this first level.

As a result, some people began to be angry, thinking that Gongsun Jian was just playing tricks, how could anyone be an official and take the arithmetic test, and he was not recruiting Mr. Accounts. For such a person, Gongsun Jian didn't pay attention to it at all, because after dark, Hu Tianyi would naturally take someone to teach him how to behave and how to speak.

After passing the first level, it is a written exam. This level is actually much simpler than the first level, mainly to test your official letter writing, criminal prison trial and so on. Generally, as long as there is some foundation, the reader can cope with it.

It's time for the third level, which is the final interview. Because there were too many people, Gongsun Jian pulled Feng Huaidao and Huang Wenyuan, as well as Liu Dayuan and Cao Liang, and several other major civil officials now, and divided them into two groups for interviews separately.

The interview is mainly to ask the other party some relevant professional questions about the position you are applying for, for example, if you are applying for the county, then it mainly asks you how you plan to govern the local people's livelihood economy. If you are reporting to a prison warden, then ask how you tried and solved the case. If you apply for the money and food tax, sorry, please go to the first level to find the examiner, get another test paper to assess, and pass the test, then congratulations on passing directly.

It took 10 days to finally fill all the required positions. This includes a prefect and sixteen prefects (there are a total of nineteen county seats in the three prefectures, and in addition to Linshui County and Dingxi County, there is also a county magistrate who was retained by Gongsun Jian. and the county magistrates of each county, etc., together there are more than 200 people.

After passing the assessment, it's not over. All of them borrowed the school building of Linshui County No. 1 Middle School for a month of intensive study. Huang Wenyuan and Feng Huaidao took turns to teach these preparatory officials, in fact, the main thing was to brainwash them, so that they would firmly follow Gongsun Jian to create a paradise without poverty and exploitation. The other is to study job responsibilities and discipline, and don't think that being an official is amazing. You must know that under the rule of Gongsun Jian, a set of audit and supervision systems were formulated early on, and once someone committed adultery in his position, he was corrupted and accepted bribes, and he was reformed through labor and received education, and in serious cases, he was directly beheaded.

A month later, this group of reserve officials finally finished their studies and officially took up their posts one after another. Before leaving, Gongsun Jian personally saw them off, and worked hard one by one, hoping to work together to create a better future. When it was sent to the last magistrate named He Renxuan, the other party's words made Gongsun Jian feel a little embarrassed.

My lord, our three governments must have a unified name and a central government. Otherwise, will we all find you alone in our usual reports?

Gongsun Jian slapped his head, and he was also busy. It's been a few days, but there hasn't been a unified name. All the offices are issued in the name of Linshui County, is it possible that Linshui County will lead the three state capitals with one county in the future?
