When the time came to the release day of the People's Army's imperial examination, a group of candidates in Guangzhou gathered at the place where the results were released.

Soon, when the time for the release of the list came, several managers took red paper full of words and posted it on the notice board of the list.

Due to the large number of people gathered and it was crowded, one of the officials directly shouted to read out the candidates' test results.

"First place, Kangyan, Yongan County, Huizhou City."

The officials did not read the results of the candidates, but only read the rankings, and the candidates present heard that the first place in the examination was Kangyan, Yongan County, Huizhou City, and many people showed disappointment in their eyes, and no one in the crowd knew Kangyan at all, isn't this first place the champion? But he was taken by an unknown person, even if he was not the champion among them, he had to be the champion among the people in Guangzhou City.

The official continued to read: "Second place, Guo Zixiang of Guangzhou City." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sound was heard from the crowd.

"It's me, it's me, I'm in, I'm in!" A scholar who looked to be in his twenties and dressed in ordinary clothes shouted happily.

Many people present knew Guo Zixiang, especially Guo Zixiang's friends, and they all said congratulatory words to Guo Zixiang, and the second place was a very good result, equivalent to the list of the Ming Imperial Examination, second only to the champion.

The scene became noisy, and the officials did not stop it immediately, but only after a short period of laughter did they ring the gong to silence the crowd.

"Third place, Xie Yunli of Zhaoqing City."

"Fourth place...... Ninth place, Guangzhou Lu Xu! ”

Lu Xuan, who was standing at the edge of the venue, was stunned for a moment when he heard his name, Lu Xuan's friends Hao Xuan and Wang Mincai reacted faster than Lu Xuan, and congratulated Lu Xuan, although the ninth place is not as good as the champion list, but it is also a very high ranking, after all, thousands of people participated in the imperial examination of the People's Army, and they can be ranked in the top ten, which is enough to show Lu Xu's strength.

After the top 10 are finished, the candidates who live in Guangzhou alone occupy three seats, and the candidates in the entire city of Guangzhou occupy half of the seats, which shows that as the center of Guangdong, more than half of the talented people are gathered in Guangzhou.

Except for the people who read the rankings in the field, when they read the others, they all went directly to the scene and did not stop, Lu Yu's friend Hao Xuan ranked one hundred and forty-seven, and Wang Mincai ranked two hundred and six, although I don't know how many people the People's Army will admit, but with the situation of the People's Army, Lu Yu guessed that at least the top three hundred should be admitted, and Lu Yu and his two friends can join the People's Army.

However, the real number of people admitted by the People's Army was beyond Lu Yu's imagination, and after the officials read all the rankings, they directly told everyone present that the first 1,000 candidates would come here tomorrow to accept the arrangement, which means that the People's Army admitted a full 1,000 people.

Hearing the words of the official, most of the candidates in the venue were full of excitement, they were all hundreds of people away, originally thought that the possibility of admission was very small, but I didn't expect the People's Army to admit so many people, it was too unexpected.

The fact that the People's Army admitted 1,000 people was very surprising to the vast majority of people, but everyone knew that the arrangements for the top 10 and the top 100 would definitely be different, and the 1,000th person might only serve as a small official, but the top 10 might become the head of a county, and this was the gap.

In fact, admitting 1,000 candidates is just a trivial matter for the People's Army, and the population of Guangdong is less than 10 million, and based on the population of 10 million, the People's Army will increase the number of officials by 1,000, and it will only be an increase in the number of officials for 10,000 people, literate officials.

It is not much to add a literate official to a population of 10,000, but if it could, the ratio of literate officials to 1,000 people would reach 1,000 to 1 or even more.

However, there were too few literate people in this era, and not all literate people were officials, and it would take one or two years for the KPA to increase the ratio of literate officials to 1,000 to 1,000, not to mention that the number of literate officials was not enough after the expansion of the KPA's territory.

At the end of the list, most of the candidates left with a smile on their faces, and their friends directly discussed with each other where to drink and celebrate.

Soon, the restaurants in Guangzhou welcomed many scholars who were about to become officials of the People's Military Government, and some restaurant owners knew that these scholars were about to become officials of the People's Military Government, so they came directly to congratulate them, and exempted the scholars from drinking and eating money.

The businessmen will "be a man", now the People's Army has cut Guangdong and ruled, the Ming Dynasty has no way to the People's Army, several times the Ming Army dispatched hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were defeated by the People's Army, many businessmen think that even if the People's Army can not overthrow the Ming Dynasty, it can also keep Guangdong.

Since they live under the rule of the People's Army, they must have a good relationship with the People's Army, and these scholars are about to become officials of the People's Army, and they have more money for wine and food, and the key is to make a good impression on the scholars.

At the wine table, the scholars speculated that they would be assigned to what official positions tomorrow, and Wang Mincai directly thought that Lu Yu would go to a certain county to serve as the county magistrate or deputy county magistrate.

Regarding Wang Mincai's speculation, Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, he felt that the People's Army would not give him the position of county magistrate or deputy county magistrate directly.

Lu Yu's guess was not wrong, the candidate had just passed the exam and was admitted to the People's Army, and he had never had experience as an official, so how could he be entrusted with a heavy task as soon as he took office.

The People's Military Government has made detailed arrangements for the 1,000 candidates to be admitted, and will arrange for them to be students next to a certain official in the city and county governments in various parts of Guangdong.

And the interns who have just become regular interns cannot directly become county magistrates or deputy county magistrates, they need to start from the basic positions of literate officials, and they can be promoted quickly if they have talents.

However, it is also possible that people who do not perform well in the internship and are not suitable to become officials, such people will not be regularized, and will be directly dismissed by the People's Army.

It can be said that those who are admitted in the imperial examination may not be able to become official officials, and those who rank first in the imperial examination are not necessarily higher in official rank than those who rank behind.

It is inevitable that the People's Army will negotiate peace with the Ming Court, and now the People's Army can be equipped with thousands of new tiger head guns every month, and the strength of the People's Army is increasing rapidly, and in a few years, even if the Ming Court sends a million troops to attack the People's Army, the People's Army will not be afraid.

At that time, the strength of the army is enough for the People's Army to expand, but the number of officials has a very great impact on the expansion of the People's Army.
