Zhang Ming's new system is not ready yet, but he can't wait.

Zhang Ming called Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai, and the two of them were still drawing up a list of officials.

"Zhicai, you immediately take up the post of secretary of the military department, you can choose a few deputies, and start working immediately."

"First of all, immediately restore the troops, 100,000 main forces, 50,000 militia, and recruit another 50,000 city defense troops for me."

"City Guards?" Xi Zhicai asked puzzled.

"That's right, defend a few major cities."

"Is there any difference in training, equipment, salaries, etc.?"

"There is no difference at all, it is completely the same as the main force for a month, the training intensity, the training method is no different."

When Zhang Ming said this, it made people wonder, so it would be okay to directly order the recruitment of another 50,000 troops.

"My lord, are you trying to confuse others?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

Zhang Ming nodded and said: "Yes, when others hear about the city defense army, they may think that the combat effectiveness is weak, but we know that it is completely the main army, and the name is different." ”

This crisis has given Zhang Ming a wake-up call, and he must make all preparations.

Xi Zhicai asked again: "Lord, we still have a large number of prisoners, what should we do?" ”

"If you are qualified, we will recruit them, and if you are not qualified, you will go directly to do free labor for two years, and then release them."

"By the way, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Industry and let them build roads and mine, but remember to protect their health and eat enough."

Zhang Ming looked at Tian Feng again, and then said: "Tian Feng, you are now concurrently serving as the secretary of the household department, and you can also select a few deputies to be in charge of taxation and finance, and the Ministry of Commerce is also temporarily merged into the household department." ”

Zhang Ming instructed them a bunch of things, and then said: "By the way, I recommend Chen Yang to the Ministry of Industry, he was in charge of the construction of Beiping New City before, and his achievements were outstanding. ”

Zhang Ming's nomination is basically decided.

This Chen Yang was the first to follow him, and he couldn't chill people's hearts.

Zhang Ming briefly explained some things, and then asked them to be busy.

After a few days, everyone who should have gone is gone.

At this time, preliminary statistics showed that nearly 200 of Youzhou's own students were poached.

And the students outside Youzhou, who were on the list, were recruited by Zhang Ming and only a dozen people, but they found that there were still hundreds of people who stayed in Youzhou, and they were not recruited or left.

According to this data, the imperial examination held by Zhang Ming is completely making a wedding dress for other forces.

However, Zhang Ming felt that he had won.

This time, Zhang Ming absorbed a large number of talents and took the opportunity to launch functional departments, which will be transformed little by little in the future.

After dealing with all the troublesome things, it has been more than a month since the imperial examination was released.

Zhang Ming was finally able to pull out.

This time, the impact of the imperial examination was huge, and the examination papers and twenty model essays he printed soon spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

Many people begin to think, how should a book be read?

But these are not Zhang Ming's concerns.

On this day, he received Gao Ran at the state governor's office.

"Subordinate Gao Lan, meet the lord."

Gao Ran's family picked him up early.

Picking up Gao Ran's family, Zhang Ming has been busy and has no time to see Gao Ran.

This time, Gao Ran came and directly recognized the Lord.

"Okay, with your help, my strength is strong again."

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my family."

Gao Ran has already figured things out, it is indeed Yuan Shao who is sorry for him, and there is no Zhang Ming making trouble in the middle.

In fact, Zhang Ming had many ways to get Yuan Shao to kill his family, so Gao Ran would also serve Zhang Ming.

But he didn't do that.

Zhang Ming chose to save people and bring them back, and this Gao Ran would wholeheartedly recognize him as the Lord.

"Gao Ran, we have known each other for a long time, and we know your skills very well, but our army's training methods are different, and now we are just going to recruit 50,000 city defense troops, you can go over and train with them first."

"Yes, my lord."

"This is not aimed at you, no matter who comes, you need to be familiar with our training methods and command methods, this city defense army is just a different name, and the rest is no different from the main battle army."

Zhang Ming was afraid that Gao Ran would misunderstand, thinking that he deliberately underestimated him, so he explained.

"Lord, I look up to this life is yours, and you will do whatever you ask me to do."

Gao Ran is a person who knows how to be grateful, not to mention that his family is taken here, which is equivalent to being a hostage.

Zhang Ming nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and asked him to go down.

got another general, this time capturing tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops and destroying tens of thousands of him.

Although Zhang Ming's own losses were not small, he did not lose at all.

Yecheng, Yuan Shao didn't know how many times he lost his temper, and when the news of the defeat of the front side came, Yuan Shao was so angry that he killed the people who guarded Gao Lan's family.

Although Yuan Shao can't say that his vitality is seriously injured this time, he has also suffered a huge loss, and it will take a while to slow down.

Time passed slowly, and Yuan Shao and Zhang Ming did not clash again.

Yuan Shao has no way to deal with Youzhou now.

More than 100,000 troops can't be attacked, and if you choose to fight Youzhou, you need to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops.

He also knew that the city height of Beiping New Town was very difficult to fight and might need to be protracted.

From then on, Yuan Shao did not plan to attack Zhang Ming.

He believes that Zhang Ming's strength is insufficient, so he can only retreat in Youzhou, and his threat to him is limited.

What made him a real threat was Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's strength grew very rapidly.

Cao Cao's subordinates were full of talents, and they were attacking everywhere, and their strength gradually grew.

Zhang Ming ushered in a good time for peaceful development.

There was no war, Zhang Ming worked diligently on internal affairs and developed the economy.

He dug up a steady stream of silver from the Fuso area, and then developed the economy.

In Youzhou, Zhang Ming used captives to build many roads, and at the same time repaired many cities.

Nowadays, in Youzhou, the government is harmonious, and the economic development is very rapid.

However, Zhang Ming made a lot of money, and he spent it immediately.

However, he was also actively preparing armaments.

Inside the warehouse, there are piles of weapons and equipment, and a lot of military food warehouses have been established.

After a long period of development, Zhang Ming's family background has been very rich, and at the same time, the ministries have gradually improved, and the decrees can quickly sink to the counties, and the implementation degree is relatively high.

Time slipped to the beginning of January 197.

After more than a year of development, Zhang Ming's army was strong and strong, with a main force of 100,000, 50,000 cavalry, plus 50,000 city defense troops and 50,000 militia.

On this day, Zhang Ming was teasing the child.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao gave birth to a boy and a girl to Zhang Ming, and Zhang Ming was accompanying their mother and daughter.

"Lord, Prince Cao Ang, a secret visit, Lord Tian Feng, ask if you want to see me."

A guard arrived, breaking the calm.

Zhang Ming stood up, comforted his two daughters, and then said to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao: "Go and deal with it for your husband first." ”

Zhang Ming left, and he met Cao Ang.

"Gongzi Cao Ang, what is the so-called matter when you come to my Youzhou this time?"

"My father, who was ordered to conquer Nanyang, spent a lot of money, and came to ask the general to borrow money."

Borrowing money, this is not the first time Cao Cao has done this.

There was a good interest, and Zhang Ming was happy to lend it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is finally going to attack Zhang Xiu, and this is the second time he has attacked Zhang Xiu.
