Chapter 36 Preparing for the Exam

Mifu.

Mi Qing looked at the rubbed recruitment order, nodded incessantly, and the housekeeper next to him asked: "Master, is this recruitment order really good?" You also sent a letter to ask the eldest young master to come back? ”

Mi Qing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Do you think we businessmen can be officials?" ”

"It's... No, but there are exceptions. The butler replied.

"Special cases are special cases after all, no matter how rich the businessmen are, they will always be looked down upon by the scholars, the social status has not been high, and the officials will kill if they want to, which can be described as precarious, and now we have a chance, an opportunity to be an official in the open, this is the gift of Liu Degongzi. Mi Fu, did you send someone to send the letter to the young master? ”

"I've already sent it over, but because the young master went to the south, I'm afraid it will take a few months to come back."

"Well, it's okay, just send it over, how much money and food do we have in the house?"

"10 million in money, 50,000 stone in grain." Mi Fu is clear about the finances of Fuzhong.

Mi Qing got up and waved his hand, "Allocate eight million money, leave the food in the house for a month, and donate the rest to Dongyu City!" ”

Mi Fu was taken aback: "Master, are you so optimistic about Liu Degongzi?" Liu Degongzi issued a recruitment order, which means that he is on the opposite side of the family, and there are Hu people outside, although he repelled once, but what about the next time? Liu Degongzi is not the old master after all. There is also Yanzhou Mu Yang Zichuan and the old lord have a grudge, when the old lord is there, he didn't dare to make any big moves, but now that the old lord is gone, Yanzhou Mu will try his best to kill Liu Degongzi! It's too risky to put all the family property on it, so you have to think twice, sir! ”

Mi Qing nodded and shook his head, and said with relief: "Mi Fu, I am very pleased that you can see this, what was my first reaction when I heard that the old lord died, do you know?" ”

"You..."

Mi Qing didn't wait for Mi Fu to answer, turned his back, looked at a painting on the wall, and fell into deep thought, "My first thought is that Dongyu City may not be able to hold it, I want to leave here quickly, but that day I saw Liu Degongzi on the street, I led the people to stop Liu Degongzi, I asked Liu Degongzi why there is no old master, what should I do?" Liu Degongzi has changed his weakness in the past, what is he like? Like what? ...”

Mi Qing's tone gradually raised: "Like the first cry of a young eagle, like a milk tiger roaring valley, the scales and claws are flying, just like his brother Dongyu Fierce Tiger Liu Gan, his expression is shining, and he is brilliant." ”

"I knew at that time that Dongyu City could not die, and the Liu family would also take advantage of the general trend, I had been timid and cautious all my life, but now I want to break through, I should leave something for the descendants of the Mi family, businessmen are not long-term after all, sooner or later they will become someone else's plate of food, meat in a bowl."

"Master, the risk is too great, if you are not careful, you will be crushed! The Mi family also followed, and it was over. ”

"I believe in Liu Degongzi, Mi Fu, you also have to believe in the master's vision, you know?"

Mi Qing's tone was relaxed, and he walked out of the door with all directions.

Mi Fu jumped back and forth in the house: "It's over, it's over, the old man has a magic barrier, what should I do?" What to do? By the way, I am going to write a letter to the young master as soon as possible to tell him about this situation, and now only the young master can persuade the master. ”

With that, he hurried out the door.

......

In the county office, there are gathered a group of people who are preparing for the exam, such as the children of poor families, the children of small families, and the children of merchants.

Liu De listened to Tan Zheng's report in another side hall, "Lord Qi, a total of 112 people are participating in the selection of grassroots officials, and a total of 207 people are participating in the selection of grassroots officers. All 207 grassroots officers have been placed among the 20,000 recruits for basic training, and five days later, a martial arts competition will be held. ”

Liu De put his head on his hand and said: "Well, that's right, the recruits we recruit are all from good families, with good physical fitness but no martial arts, and the people who participated in the martial arts are all Orions, rangers or family children who are quite proficient in martial arts, and most of them don't know the military formation, don't know the pain of the military formation, and the discipline is strict." Put them in the army for training, if there are those who can't endure hardship, quickly let them go, they can't even endure this hardship, how can they succeed? And if veterans want to participate in the martial arts competition, they are also allowed to sign up, as long as they think they have the ability, they will not refuse! ”

"Understood!"

"How's the exam room packed?"

"The lord of Qiqi, the back office is wide, and all the tables and chairs needed are placed in the back office, separated by wooden boards, just enough!"

"The conditions are simple, but Dongyu is not rich, and the most important thing is to use the money on the right path, let's go, let's go and see the hope of Dongyu City's future!"

Coming to the back office, Yan Nan and Jian Yong have organized everyone to sit down, seeing Liu De coming, everyone hurriedly got up to greet each other, Liu De waved his hand down, signaled everyone to sit down, came to the main seat, looked at everyone, full of emotion, these people will be the first batch of scribes recruited by Dongyu City, will never be the last batch, they represent the rise of Dongyu, but also represent the challenges that Dongyu will face, these people will be cultivated in their own way, and eventually cultivate into a team loyal to themselves.

"You can participate in this exam, I am quite happy, Dongyu is now in ruins, urgently need a large number of talents to build Dongyu, so there is this recruitment order, you come here for different reasons, you may want to contribute to the country, you may want to glorify the ancestors, you may also want to do something practical for the people, there may be other reasons, as long as you are not a traitor, as long as you work hard, I don't care, I give you this opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp this opportunity. Without further ado, the exams start now. ”

Jian Yong instructed the scribes to distribute the test papers, a total of two test papers, one was named the administrative ability test by Liu De, and the other was named Shen Lun by Liu De, Liu De thought about it and thought that it was the most appropriate to put the civil service examination system here, of course, the content of it should be changed according to the era in which he lived, so that it would conform to the environment in which he lived.

If you want to ask Liu De if he can be completely fair and just, of course... No.

After all, Liu De is also a human being, although he is the lord, he also needs to have personal contacts, and he must also think more about his subordinates, so that his subordinates will follow you with all their hearts.

There are already subordinates who have come to recommend his sons and nephews or fellow villagers and friends to him, after all, the Great Zhou is now implementing the inspection system and the expropriation system. What is the probation system, the probation system is a bottom-up system for selecting talents, and it is a system in which the local governor inspects and selects talents and recommends them to superiors or the central government at any time in their jurisdiction, and then appoints officials after probation and assessment.

That's right, basically all of them are served by the family, and the same is true of the counties below, and the talents recommended by the family must be the children of the family, you recommend my sons and nephews, and I recommend your sons and nephews, so a huge and intricate network of relationships has been formed. Sometimes in some matters, the emperor needs to bow to the family, or use marriages, exchange of interests and other means to win them over to maintain a balance in the court or various places.

Conscription is a top-down system of selecting officials, mainly including the recruitment of emperors, the recruitment of the three dukes, and the recruitment of prefectures and counties. The main thing is to select some well-known people with excellent character and learning to hold official positions, so who are the people they recruit?

It is still a big family, because only the children of the big family have the opportunity to get a series of resources to enter the school, show themselves and get various opportunities. Fame is spread by people, the family is tied to each other for in-laws or various interests, the people are illiterate, and the family controls the right to speak, so they praise each other, so the reputation comes out. As soon as the reputation comes out, it will definitely be heard by the court or the emperor, so the recruitment will be a matter of course.
