After Liu Xia's orders went down, the construction of schools, factories, and houses for the Battle Spirit Mausoleum were all working overtime, for which the Logistics Department summoned tens of thousands of people, including the homeless people who followed from Guide Mansion, as well as the local homeless people in Luoyang. The logistics department promised them land and then let them come to work, and these landless displaced people were very happy, and the efficiency of their work naturally increased.

In this era, for the people, how happy it is to be able to have a land of their own! So for the sake of the land, these homeless people have a bright smile on their lips no matter how hard they work.

At the same time, when it was the next day, the Tiger Ben Regiment had already rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Wolf Howling Regiment and the Lion Regiment also went to their own places. At the same time, the selection of soldiers for the Yingyang battalion began, and the qualified scouts of each regiment were concentrated in the military base deep in the Songshan Mountains south of Luoyang, which has now been partially built, and there were also new scouts from the new regiments, who would be further selected, and there were more than 400 scouts who came to participate this time, but most of them were new recruits.

That is to say, these 400 people will be brushed down by more than 200 people, and the remaining 200 people will successfully join the Eagle Yang Battalion and become a member of the elite battalion in the elite army.

Just to say the name, the elite of the elite, how appealing it is. As a soldier, who doesn't want to be the best soldier? Therefore, those soldiers who participated in the selection of the Eagle Yang Battalion this time were very active, and the soldiers who were not qualified to participate were a little depressed, but they were also determined to participate in the selection of the Guards Regiment. Although the Guards Regiment is not as powerful as the Eagle Yang Battalion is mythical in the army, it is also the elite of the elite.

Unlike the Yingyang Battalion, which is so high-profile, the camp of the new regiment is in the western suburbs of Luoyang City, to the west of the War Spirit Mausoleum, and the east side of the War Spirit Mausoleum is the Armament Academy. They are all built around Luoyang City.

Liu Xia arranged these two places to train recruits and officers on both sides of the Battle Spirit Mausoleum, and his intention was self-evident. The spiritual status of the Battle Spirit Mausoleum will be higher and higher, and it will be a place that all soldiers yearn for.

The next day, Liu Xia asked Chen Liu to gather the seventy people in the west city and the two hundred people in the east city, a total of more than 270 people were all concentrated in the Pingbei Hou Mansion, and the hall could not accommodate so many people, and at this time it was impossible to find a place to accommodate so many people, so Liu Xia could only put the examination room outside, but fortunately it was sunny today, neither cold nor hot.

Nearly three hundred tables were neatly placed on the square outside the main hall, and at this time it was already full of people, and these scholars looked full of arrogance one by one, and they praised each other vigorously, as if they were all talented and rich.

"Brother Zhang, what test questions do you think Master Hou will make? Which passage from the Four Books and the Five Classics? Although the Four Books and Five Classics cannot be said to be memorized, they can also be memorized, and I believe that this exam will not be difficult. Anyway, I'm still a good person. A man who looked to be in his twenties, with a slightly flushed face and dressed in a variety of satins, said proudly.

The scholar who was called Brother Zhang, dressed in a slightly tattered outfit, looked like a down-and-out person, this person's face did not show arrogance, but smiled indifferently: "Brother Li is from a human background, I believe that the test questions from the Hou Ye will definitely not be difficult for Brother Li, and when the time comes, Brother Li will take the first, and he will be taken care of by the Hou Ye's appreciation!" ”

As soon as Brother Zhang said this, he once again made the arrogant person known as Brother Li, who was already very arrogant, even more arrogant, only to hear him say proudly: "That's it, follow this son in the future, and I will definitely let you eat and drink spicy food." ”

"Silence, silence! Hou Ye is coming. ”

With a loud shout from Rui Junai, those scholars closed their mouths one after another, although some of them with relatively high academic qualifications looked down on Rui Junai as a lifter, but now they are just ordinary people, and they have not obtained an official career, so they hide their dissatisfaction in the bottom of their hearts.

In the eyes of those who have passed the Jinshi, he Rui Junai can serve as the Luoyang County Commander as a small person from a Renjia background, then they can serve as the prefect of Henan from the Jinshi, this exam is just a formality, in their opinion, the Jinshi is a golden signboard, if Liu Xia knows that they are Jinshi, he will be happy to greet him barefoot.

After Rui Junai's words fell, Liu Xia walked to the front of the square accompanied by Chen Liu, Wang Shi and others, Liu Xia's cold gaze slowly swept over them, and Liu Xia's gaze suddenly made these scholars feel a chill.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a victorious general who has killed countless enemies and won a hundred battles!

"Meet Master Hou!" Nearly three hundred people shouted in unison.

Liu Xia waved his hand and said: "Today, Ben Hou is fortunate to be favored by all the scholars, and he can come to participate in this examination and selection set up by Ben Hou, Ben Hou is very happy, and I also wish that he can get high scores, and he can enter the officialdom in the future and jointly govern this Luoyang Mansion." ”

"Xie Hou Ye Ji Yan!"

"Start the exam, Chen Liu picked up the paper and sent it down."

Chen Liu immediately walked to the wooden box that was carried over, picked up the key in his hand and opened the door of the box, only to see that the box was full of printed scrolls, and some random guards sent these scrolls to those soldiers.

When all the papers were issued, Liu Xia began to announce the start of the exam.

When those scholars saw the exam questions on the paper, most of them were confused, which is the Four Books and Five Classics, which is the Confucian classics, these are all stories! Liu Xia's question is to write down a story that may happen in officialdom, and then write down the scholars in their own way of dealing with it.

Suddenly, there was some commotion in the examination room. I saw a young man with an angry face and a jade belt wearing a silk belt and jade belt and said dissatisfiedly: "May I ask what this test question is Hou Ye!" It's not the Four Books and Five Classics and other authentic, it's a small story, this is really an insult to my Confucian protégé, although I am not talented, but I am also a Jinshi background, I saw that Hou Ye is a real hero so I came to take refuge, Hou Ye did not immediately give an official and a half position, and even used other test questions to insult me, why is this! Let's just say that Chen Liu is just a talented person, and now he can be in a high position, and that Rui Junai is also a person from a high position, and now he is also serving as the commander of Luoyang County, and he was born in Xia Jinshi, shouldn't Hou Ye be given the position of the next prefect of Henan Prefecture? ”

After the young man finished speaking, he immediately hugged his shoulders and looked at Liu Xia with his eyes, wanting Liu Xia to give him an answer, and at the same time, many dissatisfied scholars also stood up, and suddenly the entire examination room began to riot.

"Quiet! It's all quiet! With Liu Xia's order, Wang Shi's loud voice shouted angrily, which immediately quieted down those scholars, and at the same time, the guards around the examination room also glared at these scholars, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

Liu Xia was not angry, Liu Xia had already guessed this situation, so he said indifferently: "This general is naturally useful for this exam question, what is your name?" Liu Xia pointed to the young man who was the first to heckle and asked.

At this time, the heat of the young man's head had passed, and at this time, he remembered who he was talking to, and suddenly trembled with fright, but Liu Xia pointed at him and asked, and he didn't dare not answer, and said: "Return, go back to Master Hou's words, Li Dabai was born later." ”

"You're a jinshi?"

When the man heard this, his face suddenly showed arrogance, and he said, "Yes, Chongzhen was born as a jinshi in the fifteenth year. ”

Liu Xia's face turned cold and said, "But what about Jinshi?" Ben Hou wants people who can do things, not just people who are full of mouths, people who can't do things. Writing an eight-share essay is nothing, and the eight-strand essay can't help Benhou deal with civil affairs. As long as you have real materials, whether you are a showman, a person, or even a meritorious person, as long as you can do things and pass this paper, you may join the officialdom of Luoyang. ”

After Liu Xia finished speaking, Li Dabai's face turned blue and red for a while, but he could only endure it, although he was very unconvinced in his heart, but Liu Xia was not something he could say casually.

However, Liu Xia's words made those ordinary people from Xiucai feel a lot of hope, when they came here before, they heard on the left that they were from a lifting background, and on the right they said that they were from a Jinshi background, I thought that I had no chance, but I didn't expect that Liu Xia would recruit people without taking the Baguwen exam, so maybe he would have a chance to enter the officialdom.

"If you want to take the test, sit down and take the test! The guards who didn't want to take the test took him down. ”

As soon as Liu Xia's words fell, Li Taibai and a few people from Jinshi left the examination room one after another, but this did not affect most of the candidates, they still wanted to be favored by Liu Xia for a while, and then go further and further in the officialdom in the future.

Those scholars who stayed behind sat in their seats one after another, and then carefully looked at the examination papers in their hands, some of them suddenly showed joy after reading them, and some of them were full of bitterness.

The duration of the exam is one hour, which is equivalent to two hours and one hundred and twenty minutes. More than 100 minutes is enough time for a small test paper.

On the contrary, these test questions make those talents who read idle books on weekdays feel easy and do it quickly.

Soon an hour passed, and most of the scholars' scrolls were full, but some of them did not have many words written on them. But the time had come, and the guards began to go down and collect the rolls.

"Arrange it and prepare food and drinks for these candidates. After eating, I sent them back and waited for the results after three days. ”

"Yes"

After the guards collected the more than 200 volumes, they quickly packed them into the original box and locked them.

The examination and approval of the test paper was carried out in strict accordance with Liu Xia's requirements, and the examiners were naturally Chen Liu and Rui Junai. Each question in this paper has an answer.
