Wu Yazi held a blue crystal in his hand, and he didn't know how he activated the secret method, and instantly formed an ice wall in front of him, the ice wall was thin and transparent, but it was extremely strong, completely resisting the attack of bullets.

had to force him out, Zhao Rui directly took an automatic rifle from the hand of the soldier next to him, and specifically hit Wu Yazi on the head.

"Sudden ......"

"Oops! My ears, uh, I got my nose...... Bastard! ”

The bullet hit the fragile facial features, making Wu Yazi cry bitterly, looking at Zhao Rui's eyes from afar, eager to tear him to pieces.

Sure enough, as Zhao Rui expected, this Taoist priest's kung fu was all on that strange peachwood sword!

Although he wanted to attack Zhao Rui now, he didn't want to be hit by bullets, so he was really in a dilemma.

"You wait, Zhao Rui, I'll come back and get back what I got it!"

Wuyazi howled, and suddenly released a thick fog in front of him, and by the time the fog cleared, the person had disappeared.

Zhao Rui touched the small peachwood sword in his arms, and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not worth it, although he got the sword, but he didn't know how to use it, and this Taoist priest became a potential danger, so Zhao Rui had to be more careful in everything.

Although Zhao Rui is extremely strong in firearms, there is still a big gap with Song and Yuan in terms of military strength, and people like Wu Yazi who are outside the world don't know how many they can meet in the future.

The manpower thing is relatively easy to say, through conscription, the slow accumulation of time will naturally increase, of course, being a soldier on Zhao Rui's side is not something ordinary people can do, after all, it is a high-intensity training every day, it is like a nightmare.

In this regard, Zhao Rui still maintains a normal heart, the growth of troops is slower, at least the elite soldiers under his own command are definitely not like the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, which is also a strong guarantee for the future conquest of the world.

Now the speed of conquering the city is still relatively slow, because it is all the territory that Zhao Rui wants to operate for a long time, and he has no intention of losing it to the Yuan Dynasty or the Song Dynasty.

You must know that the area along the south of Zhenjiang Mansion, including Zhenjiang Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion, is basically owned by Zhao Rui, so Zhao Rui is currently most uncomfortable because there are too few civil and military officials who can be used.

For this reason, Zhao Rui sent Zhang Zhennan, who was far away in Jiaozhi.

"Lord Wang, long time no see!"

Zhang Zhennan was the last champion of the Southern Song Dynasty before, and at this time he was not yet thirty years old, and a few strands of white hair had already appeared on his head, and whenever he did not talk to people, he fell into silent thought, obviously his daily work had been completely integrated into his life.

"Sit down."

Zhao Rui had already returned to the teahouse in Fancheng at this time, while running a fabric business, on the other hand, he also regarded Xiangfan as the center point in the future, and the natural geographical advantages here were suitable for future expansion actions.

For Zhang Zhennan, Zhao Rui is still quite moved, thanks to Zhang Zhennan in Jiaozhi, he has elected a lot of ministers for him, and he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to daily management and administrative processes.

"Lord Wang, if you asked me to come this time, you should have chosen Wenchen again...... Give me the tea canister. ”

At this time, a guy stepped forward to serve tea bowls to the two, Zhang Zhennan opened the lid and frowned, obviously feeling that the tea was a little less.

That guy naturally knew Zhao Rui's identity, and thought to himself, who is this, dragging it, dare to be so casual in front of the prince.

After all, in the eyes of the guys, they have seen too many rich people, and they came to Zhao Rui to nod their heads like kowtowers.

The guy looked at Zhao Rui's face, Zhao Rui smiled indifferently and nodded, but he didn't care at all.

Who is this man......

The man muttered quietly, and honestly went to take one of the tea cans and put them on the table.

Zhang Zhennan's face was overjoyed, and he poured out a lot of it and put it in the bowl, added the lid, and waited beautifully.

Zhao Rui noticed this, but felt that Zhang Zhennan was living a real life.

"Lord Wang, I'm sorry, I've developed the habit of drinking strong tea over the years, but there is more black tea in Jiaozhi and less white tea, so when I get to the Central Plains, I naturally have to drink more."

"Haha, what's this, in the future, here will be a room for you, the tea will be served in white and black, you can drink as much as you want!" Zhao Rui looked at him with a smile, and he also understood in his heart that if Zhang Zhennan didn't work hard day and night in Jiaozhi, how could he be addicted to strong tea.

"Great, I'll thank you in advance!" For this alone, Zhang Zhennan felt very satisfied.

Zhang Zhennan felt that the time was almost up, so he removed a small slit from the lid and took a sip carefully, the rich and clear tea soup obviously made him very enjoyable.

"Zhennan thinks well, I asked you to come this time, just to select officials, now the southwest of the Song Dynasty, including Dali that has just been defeated, needs a large number of civil and military officials to take care of it. At this time, most of the cities that have experienced war and turmoil, and agricultural products and people's livelihood have yet to be restored, so the task of selecting officials is even more arduous, and we must select some capable people to take up positions, so as to stabilize the overall situation on the whole, so as to lay a solid foundation for development. ”

"The prince is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire him!"

Zhang Zhennan is telling the truth, although it is said that there is no first, he is the champion today, and naturally he can rarely meet someone who can convince him.

But Zhao Rui is different, Wang Ye seeks truth from facts, all decisions are based on reality, and they are all based on sustainable development.

Coupled with the mechanical workshop established by the prince in Wanya Prefecture, the unimaginable advanced machines made have increased productivity, which is simply incredible.

As for those cultures such as knowledge, aren't they used to govern the world, although Zhao Rui's speeches are not the kind of hanging bookbags, but they are often practical, so he has to admire them sincerely.

So Zhang Zhennan pondered for a moment and said what he had already planned.

"Lord Wang, I think it's time to start the imperial examination!"

"Imperial examinations?"

Although Zhao Rui has thought about this problem, but the territory was not so big before, so he didn't want to do such a ridiculous thing, but now it is different, the territory at this time is equivalent to three points of the world, and it can indeed be carried out.

"It's just that I'm just the identity of the prince, will there be some unjustification?" Zhao Rui groaned, still a little worried, in case a civil and military attache is elected, and he is the prince of the Song Dynasty, then these officials are not considered to be from the Song Dynasty.

"The prince is too worried! Your choice of retainers is naturally a matter of course, and no one is qualified to say anything about you! ”

Zhang Zhennan said this, and suddenly his face became solemn, and he turned over to the ground and bowed to Zhao Rui.

"Zhennan, what are you doing, hurry up."

Zhao Rui tried a little hard to help Zhang Zhennan up, but he couldn't imagine that he was still stubborn.

"Lord Wang, maybe others don't know your mind, but I understand......"

Zhao Rui became more and more confused when he heard this, what kind of brain stroke did Zhang Zhennan have, and he understood what he was doing.

"Lord, I have read the history books, generally like your current status can be completely self-reliant as an emperor, but you don't have such thoughts at all, but you are still thinking about ordinary people in your heart, remembering their food and clothing, and devoting yourself to the development of production, people like you are really unprecedented and unprecedented!" Zhang Zhennan blurted out these words, obviously having been pretending in his heart for a long time.

"Zhennan is serious, I just think it's too early......"

Zhao Rui really didn't feel anything about this, he just felt that none of those who were emperors early in history had a good end, he just wanted to develop his strength and think about others, but he didn't expect to become a saint-like figure in Zhang Zhennan's heart.

"Yes, I think the prince deeply understands the truth that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, so you are now building a high wall and accumulating grain, which is embarking on an invincible road!"

Zhang Zhennan was emotional, and continued: "So I am willing to be the right hand man of the prince and create a great cause with you!" The minister must do his best, and after death, he will not give up! ”

Forehead......

Zhao Rui was a little embarrassed, the ancient literati were emotional at every turn, which really made him a little unaccustomed.

"Okay, get up and sit down and talk, and I have to be the right hand to say anything, and tell you that you have long been in my heart!" Zhao Rui helped him up again.

"Thank you...... Thank you for your appreciation! ”

Zhao Rui said this, which made Zhang Zhennan very moved, even if he sat on the chair, his chest was still rising and falling.

After Zhang Zhennan's mood calmed down, Zhao Rui discussed the details with him.

Zhang Zhennan is worthy of being the champion, with a clear mind and flexible thinking, and some loopholes that will affect him have been properly arranged by him, and Zhao Rui is very comfortable when he listens.

There is such a person who controls the selection of civil and military attaches for himself, and he is so loyal, Zhao Rui naturally does not need to spend too much energy.

So there was a big news, which completely shocked the land of China!

That is, Zhao Rui is going to start the imperial examination!

Nominally, of course, he chose his own retainers and was in charge of all the affairs of the territory.

But the most shocking thing is that Zhao Rui explained in advance the treatment after becoming an official!

This is unique even in history, although in this era what "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" such a sentence did not appear, but no matter who it is, everyone knows that after becoming an official, not to mention power, wealth must have increased greatly.

The gift-giving, the fish and meat of the people, plus the money, are simply unimaginable to the people.

Zhao Rui's news spread all over the country, directly explaining that there is no restriction on geography or nationality, as long as you have the ability, you will be reused.

In particular, the details of Yu Lu are simply staggering.

The county order is 60 taels per month, the prefect is 100 taels, and if you can become a big official, the maximum is 600 taels.

Zhao Rui did not take the complicated official position of the Southern Song Dynasty, so it seems that people can see it very clearly.

Military attachés are also divided into county guards, state capital city guards, and generals, and their salaries are the same as those of civilian officials.

This was a heavy blow to the Southern Song Dynasty.

How many Yulu were there in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time?

I think that the senior officials of Jia Yidao's level are only 300 yuan, and when converted into silver, it is only 150 taels, so the officials below are decreasing in turn, and when they reach the low-level county order level, they are only 10 taels of silver at most, and the treatment proposed by Zhao Rui is equivalent to an increase of five or six times, and there is no comparison at all.
