Chapter 5 Recruitment

After the two agreed, a notice was soon posted on the place where the emperor's list was often posted in front of the yamen.

It has to be said that Zhang's measures have been effective. Zhang Pu is in a big trend to clean up the unjust prison and crack down on the pride of the bullies, coupled with the strict military discipline of Zhang Xuan's department, there have been no incidents that disturb the people during this period of time. Therefore, the people were much more relieved, although they still walked around the soldiers of the righteous army. But on the street, there are also pedestrians.

As soon as the notice was posted, there were quite a few people who gathered around to watch.

"Wang Xiucai, what is written on it?" Some people used to ask the person next to them.

The so-called Wang Xiucai is not a real Xiucai, but he was born as a child, but his family was still solid a few years ago, and he devoted himself to studying. It's just that in this world, every day is not as good as a day. This Wang Xiucai's family property was lost, and he had to come out to work hard to support his family.

The day before yesterday, the official army was defeated, and the rogues entered the city, and he was still very worried for a while, but fortunately, the military discipline of the thieves seemed to be better than that of the official army, and the worst military discipline among the thieves was the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution. However, after the 5th Battalion of the Left Movement, they did not enter the city and were stationed outside the city, which had little impact on the people in the city. Later, the thief brigade left, leaving behind a thief leader named Zhang Tiebi. It seems that this thief is the leader. It's not heartless. He sent people to clean up the unjust prisons and clear the snow for many people. Wang Xiucai also let go of his fears. Come out and find something to do.

However, the change of regime still had a great impact on people's livelihood, and Wang Xiu had only been doing it for a long time. I was so hungry that I was weak, and my eyes were full of stars, but I didn't feel anything in my stomach.

He saw the crowd gathering, he thought it was a recruitment, but he didn't want it to be a notice, he read: "Runing Jiedu made General Guoyi Zhang, order: Jinfu County is newly established, a hundred people are lacking, especially on the fifth day of the 11th month of the 15th year of Chongzhen, in the county to test school talents, Runing people can come to test, all those who pass, give documents, a number of officials, all have a good ceremony..."

Thinking of this, Wang Xiucai's eyes suddenly lit up.

When he saw the word "Yiyi", he immediately remembered his wife and children who were waiting to be fed. What is a thief and not a thief is not in his consideration.

In the face of death, you can only look at the present.

Wang Xiucai's only worry is whether he can pass the test, he will not look for a job anymore, and go home immediately. The Four Books and Five Classics that have not been turned out for many years. Took it out again. Desperately memorized.

If you can't pass the exam before, there are other ways out. But if you can't pass the exam today, I'm afraid the whole family won't be able to get by, this winter.

In this way, the news spread like this, for some people who were still able to sustain themselves. It's just a breeze that passes through your ears and is forgotten in a blink of an eye. But for those who are on the verge of life and death, it is a life-saving straw.

And Chongzhen fifteen years leap eleven

The fifth day of the first month is coming soon.

Zhang Xuan went out early, and he knew that these recruited scholars were his important subordinates for a long time. Therefore, Zhang Xuan rarely dresses up.

He wore a square scarf on his head, wore a green shirt, and his hair was neatly combed and meticulous. It seems that as soon as the clothes are changed, the bloodshed of the battle is washed away and the culture is polite.

"Meet the General." Under the leadership of Zhang Zhen, the government and his party greeted Zhang Xuan at the door.

"No courtesy." Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said. In a high position, Zhang Xuan has more and more of the temperament of a superior.

The group hugged Zhang Xuan and walked into the mansion, and Zhang Xuan asked, "Are you ready?" "

"It's all set." Zhang Zhen said, introducing Zhang Xuan: "There are nearly 1,000 examination tables here, and all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone should be complete. There is also Zhou Fuchen invigilating. Infallible. "

Organizing a small exam is a trivial matter for Zhang Qian.

Zhang Xuan stood on the top of the steps, looking around, the sun in the early morning of winter was a little cold, and the whole courtyard was full of tables, and these tables were still tables of uniform specifications, which seemed to be obtained from the official school. Hundreds of soldiers led by Zhou Fuchen were guarding around. It does look foolproof.

And in an exam, there are basically problems, and what problems can arise.

"Let's get started." Zhang Xuan said.

With Zhang Xuan's order, someone immediately dragged a long voice and said, "The exam has started." ”

The door of the government was also opened, and all those who wanted to take the exam entered in one stream. But there weren't many people, but after a while, not many people came in.

Zhang Xuan frowned, he found that these people were not yet half full of the examination room. said to Zhou Fuchen: "Is that all?" ”

"Yes," Zhou Fuchen said: "My subordinates have already gone to see it, but there is no longer one behind." ”

Zhang Xuan said to Zhang Zhen again: "Are these people it?" ”、

Zhang Zhen's face was a little ugly at the moment, and he said: "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the general." ”

"It's not a matter of punishment or punishment." Zhang Xuan said: "Didn't you make some preparations before? For example, visit the local scholars? ”

"Xiaguan, where did you not visit the local scholars? The local gentry of status have all visited. They all received a reply, saying that they would send their children to take the exam. Zhang Zhen said: "I just didn't expect that they would be so perfunctory to me." ”

Zhang Zhen suddenly remembered a pair of indifferent and distant eyes yesterday, and said secretly in his heart: "I should have thought of this a long time ago." ”

It's too late to say anything at the moment, the door has already been opened for the exam, and you can't give up halfway. Zhang Xuan didn't say much, just snorted, didn't say anything, walked down the steps with his hands in his hands, and walked among the various candidates.

didn't look at a few, Zhang Xuan wrinkled

Frown. Without him, the level of these people is too poor. 、

Zhang Xuan's question, according to the eight-strand question at that time, was already a fairly easy question. Zhang Xuan didn't mean to be embarrassed.

But what Zhang Xuan saw was something.

Some of the words are written in a garbled manner. Worse than what Zhang Xuan wrote. Some of them are written upside down, like a repeater, even if Zhang Xuan doesn't understand the eight-strand current text, he knows that writing like this must be the next choice.

Compared to the people below, the above ones are pretty good. At least when it is written, there are quite a few blank volumes.

"Who are these people?" Zhang Xuan returned to his original position and couldn't help but sigh.

"These people, I know some, some of them are subordinates of the palace, these are in the palace, and the people in the palace have been taken away by the king, and these people have no livelihood. But the literacy hyphenation, plus the general did not say, the exam still needs to be restricted, so they all came. Zhang Pu said.

Zhang Pu has a lot of cases, and most of the backlog of cases are related to the palace. Therefore, Zhang Pu knows the things in the palace most clearly.

Zhang Xuan was even more speechless about this, and said secretly in his heart: "Those who didn't come will regret it after all." ”

Runing Mansion is a big mansion, it is impossible to be short, only this person is literate, and the number of people who take the test every year is probably above this.

There was only one eight-strand question, and it was written very quickly, but after an hour, the exam was completed.

When the test papers were collected, Zhang Qian, as the examiner, began to read the papers, and he only looked at two or three before frowning. Anyway, Zhang Qian, a jinshi, is real. It's definitely a good level above the eight strands. In his opinion, all the test papers of this exam can only be described in four words: unsightly.

"In this exam, anyone who can fill the test paper is considered Chinese." Zhang Xuan finalized the admission criteria for this time.

"General." Zhang Zhen couldn't help but say: "This is too loose." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "What I need now is a large number of people who can be used. Even if it's just copying. Get it over first to deal with the emergency, and all Chinese-style people are treated according to the same as a soldier. Zhang Xuan looked down at the test papers that he couldn't stand and said, "Don't look at it more, hurry up and make a list." ”

Zhang Xuan then left. I have no intention of knowing who is the first and who is the second.

"This is the worst batch of students I've ever seen." Zhang Zhen said secretly in his heart. According to the rules of this era, the people he admits are his students. Basically, Zhang was full of reluctance, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

According to Zhang Xuan's rules, it was quickly divided into three, six, nine and so on. Almost in terms of how much is written, the quality of the font. In the afternoon of the same day, the list of lectures was posted.

Zhang Xuan's first failed attempt to take the scholar ended like this.
