Although Xiong Bolong's great-ancestor once served as the treasure of the Chu Palace, Xiong Bolong did not have the opportunity to enter the Chu Palace.

However, unlike the folk legend that the palace of the king of Chu is splendid, Xiong Bolong and others went in and found that the current palace of the king of Chu is not splendid, and the gilded copper foil on the pillars of the main hall has been scraped off, revealing traces of white or black everywhere.

Many palaces in the entire Chu Wangfu have been burned down, and now standing on them is the newly built houses of the government.

There is nothing more than this to explain the decline of the imperial court, in the palace of the king of Chu, after a few circles, even the most active scholars stopped talking, and everyone's hearts were complicated.

Luo Yongshou and the other scribes saw the performance of the entire team in their eyes and smiled in their hearts, and when they were almost gone, they led everyone to a new three-story building in the southwest corner of the Chu Palace.

"This is the dormitory for our clerk's class, one room for every four people, everyone chooses their own roommates, the government has prepared bedding for everyone, you can move in directly, okay, let's move."

It wasn't until Luo Yongshou slapped his palms a few times that Xiong Bolong and the others came to their senses and rushed towards the building one by one.

Xiong Bolong hurriedly called Tan Fengzhen, Zhang Sanyi and another friend Yi Daopei and Yi Qingmei, and the four of them chose the first room at the east end of the second floor and walked in first.

The whole house is supposed to be made of bricks, but the inside and outside of the house are painted with a layer of white plaster, which looks quite neat.

There are four strange beds in the dormitory, the beds are laid above, there are small stairs to get to the bed, and under the bed are a few bookshelves and the like.

Before Xiong Bolong and the others could figure out the use of some things in this room, Luo Yongshou walked in with his steps.

"Why, everyone has chosen a bed?"

As soon as Luo Yongshou came in, he smiled at the four people in the room.

After the scene in the Drum Tower a few days ago, Xiong Bolong and the others no longer dared to underestimate Luo Yongshou, how could an ordinary scribe have such a great energy and make the policeman who led hundreds of soldiers so respectful.

Xiong Bolong smiled and nodded and signaled Luo Yongshou to come in, "Luo, Luo Ji Room, the furnishings in this room are quite chic, we are studying it, since Luo Ji Room is here, I don't know if you can solve our doubts?" ”

I remember that when he was in the governor's yamen, Liu Ximing seemed to call Luo Yongshou Luo Ji's room, and Xiong Bolong immediately learned and used it.

Luo Yongshou smiled and introduced the high and low beds, toilets, and washbasins at the moment.

Liu Ximing naturally still uses the set of things he is familiar with, and the layout of the whole house is not much different from that of a modern university.

"These are Liu Ge Lao's designs, a room for four people is convenient for everyone to discuss their studies, and a table under the bed is convenient for you to study your homework, this treatment is not for everyone, because of the tight construction period, only the top hundreds are eligible at the moment, and others can only go to the chase shop first."

"Huh?"

As soon as they heard that they were going to squeeze the Chase Shop, Xiong Bolong and the others were dumbfounded, and then they all rejoiced.

Luo Yongshou smiled slightly and didn't explain much, saying that it was a chase shop, but in fact, it was just a room where more than a dozen people were crowded into the old mansion of the Chu Wangfu.

He didn't dwell too much on this, but said to a few people: "During the training period, each class needs to appoint fasting leaders, seniors and other positions, and then it will be conducted by democratic election, and I hope you can actively participate." ”

The head of the fast is the squad leader, Xiong Bolong and others are quite familiar, but they are still confused when they hear about this democratic election.

"Luo Ji room, what is this democratic election?"

"Electors, everyone recommends the election, Liu Ge Lao said, today's poor situation, a large part of the reason is that the people have no say in the appointment of officials, if the main officials are to be elected by the people, then do you think they dare to be so unscrupulous and corrupt?"

"Hiss"

Since coming into contact with Liu Ximing's subordinates, Xiong Bolong and the others have been shocked many times, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but gasp.

"This, this, but isn't it the power of the court and the emperor to appoint officials, if you let the people do it, then what should be the surname in this world?"

Luo Yongshou's eyebrows were full of smiles, "What do you think should be the surname in this world?" I thought that this world should be surnamed the world, otherwise why would so many sages desperately want to limit the monarch's power and enhance the power of the prime minister. ”

"Okay, don't say much, it's impossible for the people to elect officials, it's just an idea of Liu Ge Lao at the moment, everyone should listen to it, you should think about what I said just now, and it is beneficial and harmless for everyone to serve as the chief of the fast."

"That's it, Luo has said goodbye, and I have to go to other rooms to have a look."

After speaking, Luo Yongshou pulled his legs and left, leaving Xiong Bolong and the others in a daze in the house.

It didn't take long for a heated discussion to be heard in the room.

What surprised Xiong Bolong and the others was not only this, after settling down, Luo Yongshou and the others pulled everyone to the Chu Wangfu Carrying Hall, and together with several other classes, hundreds of people held a pre-school mobilization meeting in the palace.

After that, hundreds of people separated themselves to engage in some kind of campaign speeches and other tricks, and Luo Yongshou and others were also quite good at words, often making a group of scholars and scholars excited and enthusiastic after a speech.

After a few days of combined punching, Xiong Bolong and others have been dizzy by these new things and new moves of the government, at this time, these people are no longer thinking about making money to support their families, gaining fame and other things, but all of them have shifted their attention to training.

What Xiong Bolong and a group of scholars didn't expect was that the first day's course was actually taught by Liu Ximing himself.

In front of a group of scholars, Liu Ximing calmly walked up to the throne that had been removed from the dragon chair, and directly talked about the significance and specific practices of the reform of the official administration.

The scholars of Wuchang Mansion are okay, how can ordinary scholars have experienced such a scene, and they almost kowtow to their teachers one by one.

Rao is like this, since then, Xiong Bolong suddenly found that there are more people in each official class who call Liu Ximing a teacher, and this trend is still growing.

It was also in the past few months that Xiong Bolong gradually inquired about what Luo Yongshou's office position was for.

This person was not the secretary of the ordinary yamen as they thought, but the person in charge of a committee called the school department in the shogunate called Liu Ximing, who was in charge of the recruitment, training, and appointment of their group of officials.

Thinking about Luo Yongshou, who was about the same age as himself and the others, as soon as the news spread in the training class, all the students went crazy.

At the same age, Luo Yongshou has no fame, but now he has power, and I can too.

The training content of the officials in the palace of the king of Chu is all-encompassing, including warning education, economic knowledge, material knowledge, medical knowledge and other aspects.

Of course, what is even more indispensable is the subtle brainwashing education of Datongism.

Putting aside the resistance in the early stage, Xiong Bolong and others soon immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge and could not extricate themselves.

It turns out that the earth is round, it turns out that what we breathe is called oxygen, and it turns out that money itself has no value......

The huge information impact and all-round knowledge crushing directly made Xiong Bolong and others lost in Liu Ximing's speech system.

By the time the six-month period came to an end, Xiong Bolong and others had already become staunch supporters of the Datong theory.

On the first day of the fifth month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Xiong Bolong ended the six-month training as the first place in the training class.

On his recommendation comment, Luo Yongshou personally wrote a few sentences.

"Witty and intelligent, loyal and resolute, persevering and persevering, firmly agreeing with Datongism, it is recommended to develop as a member of Datong, and at the same time set it as a role model among Huguangsheng members."

This document was quickly handed over to Liu Ximing.

Under Luo Yongshou's signature, Liu Ximing wrote on it after some thought:

He was allowed to develop as a member of the society, and was appointed as a third-level official of Wuchang Prefecture, and transferred to the office to preside over the work.

The official system implemented by Liu Ximing in Huguang and other places now has only five levels, with the first level being the lowest and the fifth being the highest.

Xiong Bolong served as a third-level official as soon as he took office, and in the case of vacancies in the prefect of Wuchang Mansion and other officials, he was actually equivalent to the head of the Organization Department of Wuchang Mansion.

With the arrival of this group of new officials, Liu Ximing finally completed the last link of actual control over Huguang and other places.

Since the selection and transfer of officials were all in the hands of the superintendent yamen under the pretext of the trial stage, the officials in Huguang, Nanyang and other places have actually become puppets.

However, at this time, Liu Ximing's mind was no longer on this matter, because the situation in the world had changed even more.
