I remember watching a documentary about the imperial examination, the answer papers of the imperial examination in the past dynasties are grinding, it takes a full three days, and the batch papers are also grinding, it takes more than a month, but this cannot escape the traditional human feelings of the Chinese, the same year that I visited my father, my grandfather's protégé, you look, the little nephew, can my uncle make a lot of effort?

But when I arrived at Wang Hou's place, the results came out in three days, early in the morning, at the gate of Xiangping's temporary tribute courtyard, a large red admission list was posted there, and a lot of names were densely written on it.

"Am I on the list?"

"Twenty-seven in the second list, go up!"

"Mandarin List! Xiangping Wang Jian! He really made the list! But what does the Mandarin Bang mean? ”

For this list, Wang Hou and Zhen Mi, and Xu Shu each fought hard, forehead ......, the previous bed was done, which gave Wang Hou a "dry" panting, almost not being fucked down, if it weren't for the fact that in the end he "beat the female goblin" with a particularly firm will, this list would not have come out!

The reason is that the three people have different views, Zhen Mi, a talented woman named in the late Han Dynasty, although Xu Shu is not good at articles, but she is also a serious reader, the two of them read the papers, and they have to look at the literary style, and they have to manage the font, look at the neatness of the battle, and the words rhyme without rhyming, in short, if you don't write the article like an embroidery, you can't get into the eyes of these two gods.

But Wang Hou doesn't care about these at all, the article is written as a flower, what is the use of officials who can't even pour the toilet, the Ming Dynasty is to let this group of infighting insiders, fighting outsiders and unscrupulous officials to collapse, whether it is a test or a statement, he depends on the right and wrong choice, whether to extract the arguments required by his speech in the article, and correspond to the expression of the governance measures, these can't be reached, all of them are!

So what he likes are those who are written dryly, but they have a clear mind and quick thinking, and they don't solve any problems, but these volumes are also bullshit in the eyes of Zhen Mi, who is a good writer!

However, the biggest feature of Chinese politics is compromise! and Zhen Mi still have new ones, after the battle, Wang Hou subdivided the list of scholars, and the two of them were optimistic about the brilliant literature but said all the nonsense and had no practical use, and the ten volumes were drawn into a Wenhua list, and they were placed on the top list, and the face was finally enough.

Of course, the top of the list of good-looking flowers, there is no use for fart, and the above commends you for writing well, and you will be pulled down! The top list and the two lists below the Wenhua list are the main events, the ten people admitted to the top list directly reported to the general's office Wang Hou's office, and Wang Hou personally assigned the county officials, county commanders, county magistrates and other leadership positions, and the more than 400 admitted candidates on the second list were assigned by the staff of the general's palace to serve as county officials, county business agents, and county treasurers.

With an average score of one point, a county order can be equipped with more than 40 subordinates, which is even more serious than the Song Dynasty's overstaff, but in later generations, a county government building counts more than 100 old men, and there are also county industrial and commercial bureaus, water conservancy bureaus, and agricultural bureaus.

It is precisely because of Wang Hou's peculiar admission method that the people on the list this time are beyond everyone's expectations, and the few scholars who are at the forefront of the list are lost and look for their names on the list without seeing them, and they are listlessly drooping their heads, and suddenly, someone exclaimed incredibly: "Feng Fang!" Feng Fang, a lowly person, is actually on the top list! ”

"And Lunzhi, this old Wang Ba can even be on the list!"

"A cheap slave, an old horseman, this Wang Zhenbei uses people, it's really crazy!"

In the midst of the excitement, the first imperial examination in Liaodong, which had a great impact, came to an end, and the candidates who failed the list walked home dejectedly, while grinning and secretly scolding the gifts given by the relationship they were looking for, all the gifts were fed to the dogs, but there were still some self-motivated people who surrounded the paper of the second list of the first list and the second list of the examiners who were bound into a booklet and hung there, and tried to find the reason for their failure from the circles and forks drawn above.

However, unconsciously, this kind of election mechanism of passing the exam and competing for one's talent has begun to take root in the hearts of the people.

…………

On the other end, the General's Mansion!

For the candidates who failed the list, this is an unfortunate day, but for the candidates who are admitted, today is the day of pie in the sky, especially for the noble children in Xiangping City, no matter how high the official position is, this indicates that at least Wang Zhenbei will not abandon them in talent recruitment, and the local scholars and Wang Zhenbei still have the possibility of colluding with each other, which is particularly meaningful to both parties.

Among these people, Feng Fang was undoubtedly the one who was confused.

In terms of background, he is a standard poor family in the middle of the cold family, not to mention that he has been a small official in Liaodong for generations, his father is still in Gongsun for generations to sit on the crime and degrade as a slave, and when he was sent into the city by the master of the countryside to deliver rural goods, when he saw Wang Hou's recruitment, he was hot-headed, so he went to register, especially when he threw aside the task sent to him by the Liu family, ate the food sent by the Liu family, and finished the imperial examination.

But after the exam, he completely regretted it, and offended a lot of gate valve sons in one go! Especially so that the son of the Liu family, Liu, could not come to Taiwan,

And he also used the grain of the Liu family privately, looking back at Ping County empty-handed, and the Liu family still had to pull out his skin?

As for being admitted to the imperial examination? He only woke up after the exam, even if he was talented, how could he fight with several families with his face? It's a pipe dream!

Not to mention, if it were according to the normal process, he would still be a pipe dream! Just as Wang Hou decided to record the imperial examination and post the news, even under his nose, many of the staff officers under his command received notes from outside families, whether they were friends or friends, and asked them to take care of so-and-so!

The chief compiler Xu Shu has no interests in Qingzhou, but this old boy writes his own articles not gorgeously, and he also admires scholars with literary talents, and he has also set a few in the submission papers received before the exam, according to this progress, not to mention him Feng Fang, even those scholars in Xiangping who are temporarily powerless have to be like the Yizhou faction of Shu Han, don't want to squeeze in.

But before the papers, Wang Hou made a pot of paste, which changed everything.

The name system, it's really not Wang Hou's invention, since the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination has this system, and the prevention is this kind of relationship within the promotion, although there are policies and countermeasures, the really rich and powerful family officials and nobles can still make an appointment with the examiner in advance, which sentence to write in the first few lines and paragraphs of the article, and the code will be admitted, but this time, it is to hit these Qingzhou giants by surprise!

Even Xu Shu, who "has a heart", watched an old man walk in with nine young people, bowing neatly to the ground, and his face was slightly straight.

However, looking at these ten elites who passed the "civil service examination" and were really selected to do practical things, such as the champion list and Tanhua, Wang Hou himself is the boss's heart, learning from Mr. Cao's appearance, full of leadership, laughing and rubbing his beard and chin and said.

"Everyone, please get up, you are all my elite people in Liaodong, people who work hard, I can enter you under this seat, this seat is a blessing for three lives!"

But before the polite words were finished, he had already stood up on the ground, but the white-bearded old man was already extremely proud, and his face was full of red light and clenched his fists.

"The ancestor Sun clan didn't use me, so that he lost consecutive battles, lost his division and lost the city, and even the ancestral tomb was occupied by General Wang. Today, General Wang is a scholar of the imperial examination, showing Lun's talent, and reused for a certain general, the general is really Shi Bole, and the general has created immortal achievements outside this plug, showing his ambitions, and Lun congratulates the general! ”

"Forehead ......"

Among these ten, what Wang Hou doesn't want the most is actually this old bad man who is straight, not to mention anything else, people live for 70 years, this old bad man is in his 60s, and he has to retire if he delays retirement, how much energy does he have? You can go up the mountain and lead the wasteland! Or go down to the river and dig the embankment! It's not like those young people, who are so energetic and easy to cultivate.

But now, dumbfounded, Wang Hou has a new understanding of this old bad man, to paraphrase Zhuge Liang's line, that is, there are such shameless people in the world! Looking at this old Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself, he even forgot the official tone he wanted to fight later.

"Forehead ......"
