On the tenth day of the imperial examination in early October, it was not the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, but the imperial examination of the People's Army.

On the 10th day of October last year, more than 1,000 candidates participated in the imperial examination, and 1,000 were finally admitted by the People's Army.

The 1,000 people who were admitted have been sent to various places to take up their posts a few years ago, and they will be interned first, and they will be turned into regular ones if they pass the performance, and they will continue to intern or rush home if they do not perform well.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and at least eighty percent of the 1,000 people who have been admitted have successfully turned into regulars, and the rest have been driven home.

The best performer has been promoted to the rank of deputy director, and the worst performer has become an ordinary official, and you must know that there are still a large number of illiterate officials in the people's military government, and they are the lowest ranks, and the poorer literate officials are higher in rank than the illiterate officials.

There are a lot of people who want to be officials, even businessmen want to be officials, how can businessmen compare with officials.

Of course, for big businessmen, it is impossible for them to go to the people's military government to become petty officials and be promoted step by step, and big businessmen are more willing to let their children and grandchildren participate in the imperial examination.

Earlier, the People's Army fought with the Ming Dynasty, and the People's Army won consecutive battles, which forced the Ming Court to sign an armistice agreement and compensate the People's Army for millions of taels of silver.

"The People's Army is very strong, even if it can't destroy the Ming Court, it can still confront the Ming Court, and the People's Army has become a general trend."

Since they live under the rule of the People's Army and dare not go to the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and businessmen want to have a good development under the rule of the People's Army, but it is not enough for them to feel at ease when they are businessmen, they just want to get in touch with the officials of the People's Army, or they have someone else as an official, so as to help.

The confidence of others in the People's Army has gradually increased, and last year only more than 1,000 people participated in the imperial examination, but this year the number of people participating in the imperial examination has exceeded 1,800.

Of course, even if a few thousand people participate in the imperial examination together, it can be realized, and the population of Guangdong is nearly 10 million, and the literacy rate is 1 percent, and there are nearly 100,000 people who are literate.

However, this was the situation before the KPA raised the flag, and after the KPA raised the flag, it killed or captured people who did not know how many literate, and the literacy rate under the KPA was greatly reduced.

It is true that there are few literati scholars, only a few thousand, but the literate people will be more than ten times that of literati scholars, but it is good that most people can know all the commonly used words, and their literary skills are much worse than those of literati scholars.

In the first imperial examination of the People's Army, the main candidates were literati scholars and the descendants of the wealthy gentry and merchants.

The main reason is that the situation of the first imperial examination has spread, and the people's army imperial examination does not attach much importance to the candidates' literary skills, as long as they learn arithmetic and common sense well, they may be able to be admitted.

A large number of people with poor literary skills went to Wenhua Bookstore to buy books to study, thinking that they would become officials of the People's Army Government through the imperial examination, even if they were just low-level officials, they would have a higher status than before.

Examination rooms are still set up in cities above the municipal level, and on the 10th day of October, more than 1,800 candidates enter the examination room, and on the same day, the examination ends.

At the end of the examination, the candidates from other places did not leave the examination venue in the city, and they had to stay here for a month to wait for the People's Military Government to announce the results and the list of people to be admitted.

There is no need to worry about someone going hungry, in this era of low literacy rate, it is relatively easy for literate people to have enough to eat, and they can sell words and copy books for a living.

The People's Military Government also provided homeless candidates with shelter and even meals, which did not cost much.

The test papers of candidates in each city will be sent to Guangzhou City for approval, and after the review, they will be ranked, and the admission list will be determined, and then they will be sent to each city.

In the anxious waiting of the candidates, a month passed quickly, and the 10th day of November arrived, and the candidates gathered in the examination room for the exam a month ago.

As the officials read out the rankings of the candidates, the candidates who were read out their names first became excited, according to the situation of the first imperial examination, the probability of admission to the People's Army is very high, as long as they are in the front, they will be admitted steadily.

As the candidates thought, just like last time, the KPA directly admitted 1,000 candidates to various local KPA government internships.

As a matter of fact, the officials of the People's Military Government are already on the verge of being at full capacity, and if we add 1,000 more interns, even if only 80 percent of the interns become regulars, the establishment of the People's Military Government will overflow, and there will even be three people doing the work of two people.

However, Fang Nan is not satisfied with this situation, the People's Army will obviously not be limited to Guangdong, the Ming Army is preparing, the People's Army is also preparing, the next big war, the People's Army will expand the territory and expand the scope of the ruling area, at least several times.

With the improvement of the military strength of the People's Army, it is possible to destroy the Ming Court in a war, but the People's Army does not have enough officials to govern various places, so Fang Nan plans to take two steps, first expand the territory several times, and then stop fighting for a few years to recuperate, and finally destroy the Ming Court in the last battle.

However, there may also be an accident, maybe the next battle the People's Army will directly destroy the Ming Court, which also has to prepare a Fang Nan, not to mention the use of a large number of officials who originally belonged to the Ming Court.

In the second imperial examination of the People's Army, the People's Army not only admitted 1,000 candidates for internships in the local people's military governments, but also set aside an additional 500 places to hold training courses for officials in city-level cities.

Students who wish to participate in the training course need to study for half a year, and the KPA officials will take turns to attend the class, and after half a year, they will take the exam, and after passing the exam, they will become KPA government officials, but the minimum level of literacy officer is the same.

Students who participate in the training course can get a subsidy, which is not much, but it is enough for the candidate's family to eat.

One of the most important courses in the training course is ideological education, which mainly enables students to understand the People's Army, eventually identify with the People's Army, and be willing to fight for the People's Army.

After the officials of the People's Military Government announced the 1,000 admission places, most of the remaining more than 800 candidates were frustrated that they were not admitted, and they did not get admitted to the examination with such a high admission chance, did they really not have the talent to be an official?

The next moment, as the officials told the story of the training course, the candidates who were not admitted became excited again, and participating in the training course was much worse than directly becoming an internship in the people's military government, and it was very close to becoming an official, and only a few candidates gave up their qualifications to participate in the training course.

The number of participants in the course is fixed, and if someone gives up their qualification, the qualification is automatically moved back one place.
