The people of Xuzhou are relatively weak in Guo Peng's group.

Unlike Yanzhou, which has Chen Gong and Cheng Yu as leaders, and not like Jizhou, where Tianfeng is the leader, the people of Xuzhou joined late, and the scheduled leader Chen Deng is still dead, and the leader Mi Zhu is still a businessman.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong have a local reputation in Xuzhou, but in Yecheng, they can only be regarded as small people, not big people with heads and faces.

Without relying on Mi Zhu, it is difficult for them to gain a firm foothold.

Therefore, Xuzhou people hope that fresh blood can join Guo Peng Group and enhance the strength of Xuzhou people.

Now the first place in the talent ceremony is from Xuzhou, and they are naturally happy.

The happiest person is naturally Zhuge Jin, he is not even as good as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong in Guo Peng's group, he is a real little person, if Guo Peng didn't take the initiative to promote him, he is estimated to stay in Xuzhou now to be a county official, and he can't be a central official.

I didn't expect my brother to have such a face, and he actually got the first place in the exam, according to Guo Peng's attention to this matter, his brother has a bright future!

Zhuge Jin was very happy.

"Okay, that's the case, after that, just publish these lists, you have been shouting about the lack of people, the lack of people, this time, I got you more than 300 people in one breath, enough for you to deal with it for a while, right?"

Guo Peng said jokingly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

The lack of people is the truth, there are so many things to do, and there are more and more, there is a shortage of people when there is no capture of Kansai, and now a piece of territory as large as Kansai and even Hanzhong has been captured, and the things to be done have increased exponentially, so there is even more shortage of people.

To be honest, these more than 300 people are not enough.

Some people think that it should be increased to 500 people, so that it is almost enough to consume the operation of the government, otherwise these people feel like they have poured water into the ground, and they will not be seen at once.

But Guo is not what everyone wants, and not everyone can accept it, Guo someone's selection of officials also depends on the person, he will not casually pay a waste, he wants a brother who can accompany him 996007.

It's brothers, so let's come together 996007, right?

In fact, to put it bluntly, Guo's finances are not as rich as he imagined.

Too many places need investment, too many places need construction, too many people need relief and resettlement.

Guo Peng did get a lot of money from taxes and business, but a large part of it needs to be spent, and there are quite a lot of categories of expenditures.

Other expenditures are related to the fate and future of the country, whether it is the army or the civil administration, they must not be careless.

Increasing the salaries of officials and giving benefits are all things that Guo has to pay for, and it is not easy to maintain such a huge bureaucracy and maintain its operation.

If there is really so much money, Guo can recruit more officials in minutes, and everyone can do everything, and there is no need to worry about not having enough money to spend, how good it is.

But no, you can't spend all the money, you have to keep some financial savings, and if you don't have savings, you won't have it.

The election of officials can only be a little sloppy, and the officials are squeezed even more.

Anyway, Guo will not feel embarrassed.

On October 15, when the weather turned cooler and the autumn harvest was completed, the results of the ceremony were finally announced.

A large group of scholars came to the large square in front of the Duke of Wei's mansion, anxiously waiting for the announcement of the list.

When some clerks came out of the Wei Mansion, they walked out of it carrying more than ten large wooden planks and hung them in front of the Wei Mansion.

Then the officials lifted the red cloth covering their heads on the wooden board, and with a sound of a gong, the results were officially announced.

A large group of people rushed around to see if there was any of their own names, and they pointed to find their names, and carefully searched for them one by one.

As time goes by, from time to time there will be voices like "I'm hit" and "Oops" and annoyed voices.

Xu Shu relied on his physical advantage to squeeze into the crowd with Meng Jian, and squeezed in front of three planks in a row without finding his name, he was anxious, and then squeezed out of the crowd, and saw Zhuge Liang standing outside the crowd like a nobody.

"Kong Ming, why don't you go and take a look? Go find your own name, you don't care about such an important thing? ”

"I care, but how can I have such a good body as Yuanzhi? If you can't squeeze in, it's better to wait here, and when there are fewer people, I'll just go to see it again, and if you win, you'll be hit, and if you don't win, you'll not be hit, and this name won't disappear because I don't look at it. ”

Zhuge Liang seemed to be free and easy, but Xu Shu analyzed from Zhuge Liang's expression looking around that Zhuge Liang was actually very anxious.

If he really wants to be as calm as he said, can he keep looking around?

This guy can be said to be very lazy at home, he doesn't stand when he can sit, he doesn't sit when he can lie down, and he has to take a nap every day, as if he can sleep until he is old, Xu Shu doesn't know how this guy can sleep so much.

The point is to be so smart!

People are more angry than people!

After waiting for a while, there were gradually fewer people, and Zhuge Liang gradually felt that it was quite interesting to stand here and watch.

The chosen ones are quiet, ecstatic, laughing and talking, and trotting away and can't wait to share the news with their families.

Those who were not selected were depressed, their faces full of depression, loss, and frustration, and they felt as if there was no hope in life.

I feel that when I stand here and look at it, I can see all kinds of life.

That's a lot of fun.

Looking at it, there were fewer and fewer people, Meng Jian and Shi Tao couldn't bear it anymore, and went straight forward, Zhuge Liang couldn't help it, so he moved forward with Xu Shu.

A group of people squeezed into a circle together, looking at the planks on it, looking around, but they couldn't find the names of a few people.

Then he changed to another plank, then another one, and changed it back and forth, and when he changed to the eighth piece, Zhuge Liang's heart began to waver, wondering if he was not good at writing and was not selected.

Over there, Shi Tao suddenly shouted, and it turned out that he had seen his name in front of a wooden plank.

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were a little panicked, their heartbeats were getting faster and faster, and when they were on the ninth plank, they still didn't find their names, and they were about to despair.

At this moment, Meng Jian suddenly shouted.

"Yuan Zhi! Kong Ming! Come on! Our name is here! ”

Meng Jian stood in front of the last plank, pointed to the name on the board and shouted, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were stunned, and then immediately ran over.

At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly found that Zhuge Liang was running faster than himself, and the two long legs were ......

This guy, doesn't he care?

Isn't it full of calmness?

How can you run faster than me?

Good you Zhuge Kongming!

You play me!

For the first time, Xu Shu wondered if Zhuge Liang had been a ranger without it, otherwise how could he run faster than himself who was born as a ranger?

Running away is also a necessary skill for those who are messing around on the rivers and lakes, Xu Shu thought that he would not lose to anyone at this point, but he was defeated by Zhuge Liang today.

The two of them ran to the plank with their feet in front of their feet, Zhuge Liang saw his name written on the top of the plank at a glance, and Xu Shu looked down a few and found his name in the seventh position.

"Chosen?"

"Selected!"

Xu Shu clenched his fists tightly, and the smile on his face suddenly became extremely bright like a chrysanthemum blooming.

"Kong Ming! I was chosen! I was chosen! ”

After saying that, Xu Shu saw that Zhuge Liang was panting constantly, his hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes were staring at the name on the wooden board and not letting go.

Good you Zhuge Kongming!
