A few people who were still in a low mood couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they heard this, but they quickly reacted.

"Yes, Li Xin is recruiting talents, but he didn't say that we can't participate! Compared with these ordinary people, which of our families is not a family education and has a long heritage? If you can really join the Huashan Army, once the Huashan Army grows in the future, we will also get a lot of benefits! Wang Yun reacted first.

"The benefits are natural, it's nothing. What I think is that our ancestors, our ancestors were originally from a family of eunuchs, but after so many years of decline, we had to make a living selling salt. Although it is said that he has accumulated a lot of wealth, the businessman is really insulting to the ancestors! If I can return to the gate valve world, even if I am under Jiuquan, I can also explain to my ancestors! Zhang Jichuan suddenly looked sad and said mournfully.

Hearing his words, the others were silent. Because what Zhang Jichuan said is not wrong at all, an original official family has been reduced to selling salt for a living, which is not a good reputation in the hearts of scholars.

Of course, in this troubled world, no one cares so much, but they just say that they have that kind of thought in their hearts after all.

"I'll go back to repair the book now, so that the younger generations and nephews of the right age and talent in the family will come to Chang'an, and the food will be transported over first!" After being silent for a while, Li Yu spoke first.

Seeing this, the other three were not far behind, and they stopped shopping on this street, so they hurriedly returned to the pavilion and planned something big.

In the official office, after Li Xin finished the previous meeting, he was looking through the list given to him by Wang Meng.

"I don't know anyone! In this case, it may be that there is no record of talent at all. However, maybe it's also because of various accidents, so I haven't had time to shine yet. Anyway, let's see it first! "The names of the people on the list are from their hometowns, and Li Xin doesn't have any impressions.

After making up his mind, he sent an official letter to the county where these people were located, asking the county order to send people to escort these people to Chang'an, and the counties along the way were responsible for providing food and lodging.

For the first batch of talents who were recommended, Li Xin still attaches great importance to it. However, the talent at this time may be very famous, but it may not be the same as he thinks and needs. So, after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to take an exam.

The exam is still very simple, and he personally writes the questions. Once those people arrived in Chang'an, they were asked to make a paper first, and it would be regarded as a written test.

Of course, there will be an interview afterwards and you will be assessed in person! In this way, if it is really a talent, it will not be missed!

There are not many topics on the paper, and after thinking about it for a long time, Li Xin finally decided to start with governing the people. After all, what I lack now is this kind of talent! In this way, the corresponding topics are naturally closer to people's livelihood!

The simplest question directly asks when to sow and when to harvest. Then there are some simple arithmetic problems, and the specific method of governing the county.

Basically, after this roll, you can roughly see whether these talents are qualified to serve as local officials.

If you answer decently, you can put it up as a county magistrate! If the answer is not qualified, if the words are okay, you can be a scribe and enrich all departments. As for the answer that was very good, Li Xin decided to put it by his side first to experience it, and then sent him down to serve as a senior official such as Taishou.

He personally transcribed dozens of copies of the title, so that the title was in his own hands. For this reason, he didn't even tell Wang Meng, so no one knew how he was going to assess those talents.

Ten days later, the county officials who received the official letter sent all the recommended talents. Since this is the first time that Huashan Army has done this, everyone is more cautious. After all, Li Xin has already let go of his cruel words, and if he is not recommended properly, he will also be punished.

"Are those people all arranged?" In the official office, Li Xin asked Tu Qi.

"It's all arranged in the pavilion, have a night's rest tonight, and let them come over tomorrow morning!" Tu Qi replied.

Now Li Xin does not have many capable people around him, so Tu Qi has to be in charge of the department, and he also has to be responsible for a lot of other things. Li Xin also began to think that there were more and more things around him, and it was time to recruit some people for himself.

Otherwise, Tu Qiyi would wear many hats, and it would be very easy to slow down the efficiency of the department. And this matter is too important for the Huashan Army, so it can't be delayed.

"Then let them come tomorrow morning! Place! It's the same hall where I discussed with the salt and iron merchants before! After thinking for a while, Li Xin commanded.

Early the next morning, after Li Xin got up, he began to prepare, first asking people to cordon off the main hall, and no one was allowed to approach except those who allowed it. Others don't know what he's doing, but if there is a traverser, they will understand that he is arranging an examination room.

Li Xin personally acted as the chief examiner, sitting on it and waiting for the recommended talents to come in and take the exam.

Those talents from all over the world who have been recommended know what scene they are going to face. Among these people, there are many people who are well-known in the local area, and they were summoned to Chang'an by Li Xin with an official document, and now they are feeling a little resentful.

You must know that in the hearts of people at this time, recruiting talents is not like Li Xin.

But all celebrities must be arrogant, all they want is to learn from Jiang Taigong, waiting for the Lord to come to the door! Then, it is best for him to be like Zhuge Kongming, let the other party come to the thatched house, and finally come out unfathomably to accept the position.

In this way, you can appear to be of high quality, not born for fame and fortune, but because of the sincerity of the Lord and the calculation of the people of the world.

At the same time, this is also to raise his name to another level, so that he can appear more valuable in front of future leaders.

Throughout thousands of years of history, there are many such people! And all such people must have a common name, and that is called Baume & Mercier. The more famous people are, the more they like to engage in this set, and there are not no people who are really indifferent to fame and fortune, but there are very few.

Therefore, when these people who thought they were virtuous were recruited to Chang'an by Li Xin from their places of residence with an official document, they felt a little insincere. At this time, they had to go to the main hall together for assessment, which made some people with too much self-esteem feel insulted.

Of course, they won't say it, but everyone's face is not very good-looking, and basically all of them have a straight face. If it weren't for the fact that this was related to their own future, I'm afraid they would have gone long ago, for the sake of the future, let's bear with it for the time being!

Among the group, the youngest was actually seventeen or eighteen years old, and some were already fifty or sixty years old. Led by the soldiers, they entered the main hall.

"What is this for?" When everyone saw that there were tables and tables in the hall, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things on them, they couldn't help but wonder.

Li Xin had been sitting on it for a long time and waiting for them, and when he saw them coming, he nodded to Tu Qi beside him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a test paper on these tables in front of you, so find a good seat and sit down. You have two hours to answer all the above questions, and this is your first test of the day! Don't discuss, don't watch others answer questions, everyone, hurry up! Tu Qi nodded, and then said to everyone.

"Assessment? Answer? That's a novelty! When the people below heard this, they couldn't help but have different thoughts.

But no matter what, these people still obediently found a seat and sat down, picked up Shi Juan and looked at it carefully. For them, if it is pen and ink work, they are still very confident.

After all, as a celebrity, whether it is writing a preface or writing a pen and ink, it is a necessary skill! As for all kinds of classic articles, it is even more of a problem, and many people can't help but show a smile at this time, only feeling full of confidence.

However, when these people picked up the scroll and looked at it, the smiles on their faces slowly disappeared.

"When to sow seeds? When will the wheat be harvested? ”

"A family of five, three boys and two women, one man gets 30 acres of land, and one woman gets 20 acres of land! How much is the annual income of a family? ”

"Heaven is impermanent, if a natural disaster comes, if you are the order of a county, how can you respond to it?"

"In the year of peace, a common people, how much can they spend every day?"

"At the beginning of today's pass, what is the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt?"

"The world is in turmoil, thieves are everywhere, how can we protect ourselves, how can we calm the world?"

"What is this? A gentleman who reads poetry and books is full of books, how can he learn such a lowly thing? "When someone sees these problems, they are furious.

"The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, how can you know about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and it is clearly insulting to me!" Some people wanted to throw their pens and leave, but after seeing the soldiers around them, they finally held back.

Of course, there are also many people who didn't think much about it after being surprised, and just picked up the pen and answered. And Li Xin, who was sitting at the top, took the opportunity to observe the expressions of everyone below at this time.

This is also a small assessment, after all, if even such a thing is considered to be a ~ cheap thing, then it is better for such a person to be sent off as soon as possible. After all, for one term as an official and for the benefit of one party, it is inevitable to deal with such trivial matters, and the more grassroots officials are, the more so.

If these people don't even understand what the rise and fall of prices mean, it is difficult to imagine what benefits they can bring to the local people.

This kind of exam paper is very different from the perception of people at this time, and it is not easy to accept, but for Li Xin, it is a matter of course.
