Chapter 322: The Written Exam Begins

"According to you, concrete roads and the like will soon start to be resolved."

"But the rest, about power generation and things like that, only a very small number of people have this knowledge."

"So far, only about 10 generators have been manufactured, and as for the power station, there is no clue at the moment."

Here, Lin Xiangru said to Xu Wen helplessly.

When Xu Wen heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but he had expected it in his heart and knew that this matter was not so simple.

Originally, Xu Wen didn't have much hope that Lin Xiangru would be able to handle this matter completely, so he was not too disappointed at that time.

"So, what is already going on with pre-school education and compulsory education?"

Xu Wen looked at Lin Xiangru and then said, this is a big move by Xu Wen, generally speaking, once compulsory education is launched, anyone who has a little knowledge will soon be able to comprehend a lot of knowledge such as generators, and their ability to accept it is better.

"In the first three days or so, there was a feeling of rejection in many places, but the Finance Department allocated finances and barely suppressed it."

"Today, according to statistics, there should be at least one million or so people in the country receiving pre-school education."

Lin Xiangru said seriously.

Hearing Lin Xiangru say this, Xu Wen nodded with satisfaction, this is not bad.

"Next, a series of policies after the release."

"Those who have good grades in preschool education can enter the government as officials according to the written examination, and it just so happens that there is still a shortage of a large number of talents in the government."

Xu Wen opened his mouth and said, before King Zhao took action by himself, he dealt with a large number of people in the Zhao Kingdom.

Now that there is a shortage of talents, there is no one to deal with many things in the court, one person has already topped three people, or even more people have come to use it, and the court has long been complaining everywhere, and now doing this, I am afraid that there will not be much resistance, and there may even be many people who will be more satisfied.

Moreover, the newly appointed group of people are not people in any force, and they themselves are better able to control them, so as not to oppose Zhao Guo.

Hearing you Jian Xu Wen say this, Lin Xiangru nodded deeply, and immediately exited Xu Wen's room.

Sure enough, when things such as the written test began, it caused a big wave in the imperial court, but it quickly passed, because there were not many people who opposed this matter at all, on the contrary, there were many people who were in favor of this matter.

After all, there is indeed too much shortage of people in the court now, and if this continues, I am afraid that many people in the court will retire from their official positions and retire.

As for the power plant, Xu Wen thought that it was necessary to speed up the pace of this matter, so he personally went to the Ministry of Industry, planning to lead the top craftsmen and so on to build the power plant.

This incident also caused a lot of waves.

After all, many people have not seen electricity yet, and they don't know what electricity does.

"This cliff is good, and there have always been big floods, and it often takes a lot of manpower to deal with it."

Xu Wen looked at a cliff in front of him, this place is connected to the land of the Yellow River, but it is not the main river, it is just a branch, but every year, dealing with these branches of the Yellow River in Zhao State also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even so, there are still many people dying in this area every year, and a lot of food and so on are implicated, so that there is often famine here.

"Your Excellency, you're planning to build a power station here?"

On the side, the staff of the Ministry of Engineering next to Xu Wen looked at the area in front of him, looked at Xu Wen, and were a little shocked.

The whole person was stunned in place, and his eyes looked at Xu Wen, there was still surprise in his eyes, and even disbelief.

"That's right."

"The best place to generate electricity is to have enough wind power, or river power."

"The biggest reason for choosing this place is, firstly, this is a branch of the Yellow River, and it is possible for a short time, or even hundreds of years, for this branch of the river to dry up, and the second reason is that it can be regarded as a solution to a civil disaster, a natural disaster, and then other parts of Zhao can follow suit."

"Whether it is the area within the Chu State or the area within the Zhao State, there are quite a few of these branches of the Yellow River."

Xu Wen said seriously, and when he heard Xu Wen say this, he saw that the staff of the Ministry of Engineering next to Xu Wen were stunned when they heard it, but they also understood what Xu Wen meant.

When it comes to building, Xu Wen's speed is also very fast, and he only took about an hour to draw a rough drawing.

As for the people in the Ministry of Industry, because of Xu Wen's personal order, they didn't dare to hesitate and delay, and took action directly.

In one day, some results have been seen, and the flow of this branch of the Yellow River has become a little smaller.

Immediately, Xu Wen ordered them to build a power station.

In just three days, a small power station was built.

The speed shocked and staggered everyone.

Xu Wen also raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

"Okay, this power station is very important, remember, don't let people get close to this area, if the enemy dares to approach this nearby area, it will be like my Zhao Kingdom declaring war."

Xu Wen opened his mouth, and several people around him heard Xu Wen's serious order, and everyone was taken aback.

Hearing Xu Wen say this, he was even more shocked.

This matter is about peace between the two countries, and everyone does not dare to delay when they hear about it.

Even in the Zhao Kingdom, there were about 5,000 elite soldiers defending nearby.

"Young master, do you plan to go back to the court today?"

Wang Hong came from a distance, came to Xu Wen's side, and said to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen glanced at Wang Hong, and at a glance, he could see that Wang Hong probably had something on his mind.

So he didn't hesitate, and said directly.

"But what's going on in the court?"

Hearing Xu Wen ask, Wang Hong was stunned, but he didn't continue to hide it.

"According to what you said, the young master, the imperial court has indeed begun to carry out written examinations, and a group of talents have come in, but that group of talents is not very controlled, and their temperaments are relatively direct."

"Even, there have been cases of six-grade officials angrily scolding third-grade officials in the court, and the following offenses will be beheaded all over the house!"

"If such a thing is announced, that group of people is even more amazing, and in the court, people of all major classes can't stand it."

Seeing this, Wang Hong said helplessly.

"So, everyone thinks that I am the one who started it, and they plan to ask me to take the blame?"

"However, in my opinion, this is a good thing, young and frivolous, it is a normal thing, and it is time to change it if you can't let an unhealthy atmosphere develop in the court."

Here Xu Wen snorted coldly, did not listen to Wang Hong's persuasion, slowed down, waited for a few days to pass, and went back to the imperial court, but planned to go directly to the imperial court.
