Of course, Liu De didn't know what was happening in Mayi, and he was now patrolling the school grounds, because today happened to be the day of the Wenju scientific examination.

Before this, Liaocheng had not held any imperial examinations, and there was no place that could accommodate these more than 600 candidates.

A large number of partitions were added to prevent others from tōu kuī and block the wind, but if it rained, it could only be delayed, but fortunately, the sky was clear and there was no sudden storm...

In the ancient times of Liu Deyuan's time and space, the imperial examination generally tested what poems and scriptures, and the Ming Dynasty even opened the Eight Shares of Scholars, all of whom were nerds with different practices, and let them serve as local officials, and it was really the people of the same place who suffered!

What Liu De wants most is to be able to manage officials at the grassroots level, and officials who want to work hard, so he doesn't test any poems and songs.

There are two subjects in the exam, divided into two days, the first is comprehensive, including the law of the Great Zhou, arithmetic, history, geography, etc...

The scope of this session is still wide, all fill-in-the-blank and short-answer questions, and there is basically no room for zì yóu to play, just like the current public ù yuán kǎo shì administrative ability test.

As a magistrate, such as water control, epidemic control, planning and construction, tuntian, criminal law judgment, and even the elimination of official malpractices, investigation and punishment of lawlessness, etc., all need to be understood.

Therefore, the main test questions of the policy theory are the test questions selected from these contents, and Liu De bluntly said that if the candidate's content is full of flowers, but there is nothing inside, then he will not be admitted, if the article is average, but the content is comprehensive and practical, and it is effective, it will definitely be admitted.

What Liu De wants is a hard-working talent, and if he can pass two exams, such a talent will inevitably have good political ability.

The two exams are also divided into four levels: excellent, good, acceptable, and inferior, but because the grading is simple, it may be inconvenient to rank, so each level is divided into three sub-levels: upper, middle, and lower.

Those who have obtained the top three can be nine-grade officials, and candidates with other abilities can be selected as non-grade officials, and if they are very good, they can be promoted as eight-grade officials as appropriate.

In order to show his attention, Liu De deliberately came over to inspect it, and also randomly probed the attributes of several candidates, all of whom were relatively average, and they managed a township and a town to make do, or they were auxiliary officials in the county, but they were embarrassed.

The two days of Wenju passed quickly, and Liu De convened the ministers to discuss the ranking of candidates.

"Is the sentence all over?" Liu De asked.

"Lord, this is a shì juàn that the ten ministers think are better, and please ask the lord to inspect it!" Xun Yu put ten shì juàn in front of Liu De's case.

These ten are policy theories, and the comprehensive ones have accurate answers, so there is no need for Liu De to check them personally, and finally enter the comprehensive results.

Liu De picked up a shì juàn and looked at it, then looked at it and asked, "Are there any talents in it that you think are relatively good?" ”

Xun Yu extracted the shì juàn of the two of them, and said to Liu De: "These three people are outstanding in literary talent, and they are quite proficient in practical things, and they are rare talents." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

Liu De raised his eyes, and the names of the three came into view.

Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Tang Guowei.

Liu De was puzzled, and suddenly said: "This Shi Tao and Meng Jian are not friends of Xu Junshi, I remember that Xu Junshi also recommended these two to me at the beginning, but there was no news, I didn't expect them to see the imperial examination." ”

Liu De said, picked up shì juàn, and watched it attentively, the article was very well written, not only the writing was outstanding, but also some things could really get to the point of the matter, worthy of being Xu Shu's friend, and there was indeed goods in his stomach.

Xun Yu smiled and said to Liu De: "Lord, Xu Junshi has written a letter to his ministers on this matter, Shi Tao and Meng Jian have arrived in Jinyang as early as two months ago, and when they heard that the lord was going to open the imperial examination, he decided to enter the government through the imperial examination, and he didn't want the lord to think that the two of them were stained with the light of Xu Junshi." ”

"Interesting!"

Liu De nodded, these two people are quite scholars, and in fact, it is normal to be recommended to enter the ranks in this era.

Moreover, how did Liu De feel that the names of these two people were somewhat familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere.

In the end, I still didn't think about it, so I had to turn to the system for help.

System: "The two of them are the characters attached to the player's summoning of Xu Shu." ”

"Shi Tao, the word Guangyuan, a native of Yingchuan, an official worshipping the agricultural school captain and the county guard. During the early peace period, Shi Tao and Xu Shu came to Jingzhou together, and when they were in Jingzhou, they were friendly with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. and Cui Zhouping {Mingjun}, Meng Gongwei {Mingjian}, and Xu Yuanzhi {Mingshu} are the "Zhuge Four Friends". ”

"Meng Jian, the word Gongwei, a native of Runan, Shi Wei, the official worships the Liangzhou Assassin History, and the general of Zhengdong."

Liu De also finally recalled the information of these two people, Zhuge Liang once said to Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Xu Shu: "Qing and the other three are in the ranks, and the official positions can be as far as the assassin history and the county guard." ”

The three of them asked Zhuge Liang where he could go, and Zhuge Liang just smiled and didn't say anything.

Zhuge Liang's eyes are still keen.

So Liu De said to Xun Yu: "The strategies of these three people are all combined with reality and have outstanding abilities, Meng Jian can be the champion, Shi Tao can be the leader, and Tang Guowei can be the flower." The ranking of the following personnel is determined by you! Tomorrow General Ben will hold a banquet for them. ”

The crowd said: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Liu De looked at shì juàn again, and said to Zheng Boqi who was behind: "I heard that many children of the Zheng family have participated in the imperial examination, is there a talent in the Zheng family?" ”

Zheng Boqi hurriedly came out and said: "Lord Qi, I am ashamed to say that only one of the children of the Zheng family has entered the top ten, and he is at the bottom..."

Liu De nodded and said: "There are nearly seven hundred people participating in the imperial examination, and the children of the Zheng family can get the top ten, which shows that they are quite capable and should be reused." ”

Zheng Boqi listened to it, and his heart was overjoyed, this is what Liu De meant to forgive their Zheng family!

Reusing the children of the Zheng family is not the same as reusing the Zheng family!

Zheng Bojun bowed and said, "The minister thanked the lord for this son!" ”

"Get up!"

Liu De took a deep look at Zheng Bojue, who was happy, and shook his head, Zheng Bojue is a little far from his father!

When Liu De returned to the palace, Yan Nan personally led a messenger to the main hall and told Liu De: "Lord Qiqi, there is news from Mayi that there is a Donghu vanguard attacking Mayi, and the follow-up army of Donghu may arrive in Mayi soon!" ”

"What!"

Liu De was taken aback, "Donghu forward? So Donghu won? Get the information! The latter sentence is addressed to the messenger.

The messenger hurriedly handed the information in his arms to Liu De.

Yan Nan added on the side: "Donghu has won a key victory, this time the right valley Li King went south to accept the territory abandoned by Lin Hu, and the position of Ma Yi is very critical, even if Donghu has suffered very heavy casualties, this battle will definitely be fought!" ”

Liu De put the information on the case, pondered for a while, and said: "General Bai and General Zhang handled it very properly, so they will strictly guard against the movements of Donghu according to their coming, and the ambitions of the Hu people and wolves have to be guarded against!" But if you really can't do anything, inform General Bai that saving strength is the first priority, and the horse will be burned and abandoned, it's a big deal that we are entering the grassland a few years later, and the people are still there, so everything is there! ”

Yan Nan arched his hand and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

When Bai Qi received Liu De's reply, he stood on the walled city, looked at the line of small words, and muttered in his heart: "People are still there, everything is there... Rest assured, my lord, this Ma Yi will definitely be guarded by you! ”

Bai Qi raised his eyes and saw a gust of wind and sand rolling up on the grassland, blowing up the inky cloak behind Bai Qi and making a rustling sound.

......

"You are all my great Zhou Junjie, and Yanzhou is in ruins, which is a great opportunity for you to display your talents! Ladies and gentlemen, please! ”

Liu De raised the teacup in his hand and congratulated the people below.

"Thank you, lord!"

Everyone was full of energy, and they were quite excited by Liu De's words, and they all stood up and thanked Liu De.

After the toast, the enchanting body came to the center of the main hall and danced with the water sleeves, dancing with the sound of orchestral silk and bamboo, with a beautiful posture, which made Rén Liú forget to return, and everyone was looking at it with relish.

At this time, Liu De also secretly observed the top three that he valued, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, and Tang Guowei.

-----------------

The two of them are indeed as Zhuge Liang said, they are both state-level talents, and it is more than enough to serve as the governor of a state, of course, compared to political ability, it must be Meng Jian's ability is relatively high, and Meng Jian's command rate has reached 73, he is a civil official!

No wonder he was able to pay homage to General Zhengdong, according to the original history, the official position was indeed higher than Shi Tao, and Shi Tao's highest position was only the position of the county guard.

And Shi Tao's stunts made Liu De's eyes shine, just like Zhang Tianlang's stunts, Tuntian is a god-level for his current self, and Liu De already knows where to put Shi Tao.

Stunt: Rule of Law [Minor increase in security in the city] {Level 2 Internal Affairs Skill}

------------------

I didn't expect to pick up another treasure, although the ability is not as good as Shi and Meng, but the stunt adds a lot of points to Tang Guowei, this is a natural judge!

Looking at Tang Guowei with a serious face, Liu De became more and more convinced of his judgment, and it seems that Tang Guowei's position should also be thought about.

When the banquet was coming to an end, Liu Deping retired and the musician, everyone knew that this was Liu De's appointment to an official position, and they all put down their cups, stared with bated breath, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Liu Dedao: "Appoint Meng Jian as the Cheng of Baoshan County; appointed Shi Tao as the chief of Tuntian to assist Xu Guangqi in handling Tuntian affairs; Tang Guowei was appointed as the acting city decider Cao Peng {Jiupin}, responsible for assisting Taishou in handling the criminal trial. ”

The three of them came out and said, "Thank you, the lord!" ”

Liu De's appointment is actually quite meaningful, although Meng Jian is the champion, but he was sent to be the county seat and served as the county leader, and the county order of Baoshan is Li Liang, who is familiar with Liu De, Li Liang treats the people of Baoshan with absolutely no problem, but unfortunately, his ability is limited, and he really can't afford the government affairs of a county.

Therefore, Meng Jian was sent to help Li Liang deal with Baoshan's government affairs, and if Meng Jian handled it properly, the merit would definitely be indispensable.

Shi Tao is because his stunt is [Tuntian], which is very suitable for assisting Xu Guangqi in managing Tuntian's affairs, and although Xu Guangqi has outstanding ability, he is a person after all, and he lacks skills, with Shi Tao's help, he will better complete the tasks assigned by Liu De.

Tang Guowei is the same, because the family did not slaughter much, there were many left, so the family often did evil.

And Liu Gui's political ability is limited, and he often mishandles some affairs, and although Gao Jiayi is a Dai Chengcheng, he is from a family, and Liu De does not trust him, so Liu De sent Tang Guowei to help Liu Gui deal with the criminal trial.

Liu De also knew that it was no problem for Liu Gui to be a good general, but he was too far away as a guard, but there was no way, there were too few officials under Liu De who had prestige, ability, and qualifications.

I only hope that Meng Jian and them will grow up as soon as possible, so that Liu De can have more manpower and more choices.

Now Liu De only has these two or three cards in his hand, although he has a trump card like Xun Yu in his hand, but he can't let Xun Yu manage a small county, that's really overkill!

......

Wenju is over, and the day of Liu De's wedding is getting closer and closer, Guo You's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he is about to give birth.

Liu De has also been a little nervous and a little excited in the past few days, nervous about the Hu people who are about to come to Mayi, and this battle in Mayi will determine whether Liu De can gain a foothold on the grassland.

With the only remaining strength of Donghu, I am afraid that he can only launch a medium-sized battle, if he cannot win, then Donghu will leave the fertile land of Mayi in ashes, lick his wounds in secret, and wait for the day when the wounds will heal.

And if Bai Qiru is defeated, it will return to the situation two years ago, trapped in Dongyu City, and with the situation of Yanzhou, it is impossible to launch a battle against the Hu people, and the battle on the grassland is not so simple.

And Hebei is Liu De's first goal, because Liu De has the task of pacifying Hebei for five years. Hu people can only go to the back row.

Liu Deshi thought that if Bai Qi was defeated, then he would go back to Dongyu and isolate the Hu people outside Yanzhou, and the new accounts and old accounts would be calculated slowly.

However, will Bai Qi lose?

That undefeated god of war!
