And the Yuan Dynasty is even more so, although they give heavy use to capable surrender officials, but their Yulu is also not up to such a height, for officials in the same position, the Mongols are still much higher than those who surrendered Song officials, which is of course more likely to cause contradictions.

As soon as Zhao Rui's move came out, the courts of both sides were stunned, isn't this clearly digging the foot of the wall?

In fact, this is the result of Zhao Rui and Zhang Zhennan's discussion together, of course, there are some capable people in the people, but the Great Song Dynasty has a relatively long history of the imperial examination system, and it must be more learned literary and martial arts, and there are more talents sold to the emperor's family.

Coupled with the large accumulation of wealth on Zhao Rui's side, yes, it is to compete with the world for talents!

The value of talent was only put forward in the 21st century, but Zhao Rui's side has been well reflected in the 13th century.

Now the people on the land of Shenzhou are about to boil, the tradition left over thousands of years, what is better than being an official, being an official can glorify the ancestors, and you can return to your hometown in fine clothes.

The people all think that Zhao Rui's imperial examination is a godsend, but if they have some ability, they have to rush to Fancheng, at least to try their luck.

And the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were even more turbulent.

Let's talk about the Yuan Dynasty first, the Song officials who took refuge in the Yuan Dynasty were discriminated against in the officialdom, and in addition, they could be regarded as betraying the Great Song Dynasty, and there would always be some conscience condemnation in terms of loyalty, but the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed too corrupt to see the future, and they have been paralyzing themselves with this reason.

But Zhao Rui is now in the imperial examination, which is like tailor-made for them.

Becoming Zhao Rui's retainer, what is it, of course he is an official of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Rui has the same surname as the current Song Emperor, according to the current situation, there is a lot to be done in the future!

Now Zhao Rui's military strength is not covered, the Song Dynasty and even the Yuan Dynasty, who can resist his firearms army?

On the side of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Rui's policies were even more fatally attractive, and some officials who were dissatisfied with the power of the ministers were eager to fly over with their wings, and those corrupt officials who were greedy and hedonistic were also devoted to the huge amount of money.

I feel that such a wealthy man, and then find some people's fat and people's ointment, it is uncountable silver, and there is no better place in this world than Zhao Rui's side.

The turmoil in the hearts of the people on both sides even affected their daily government affairs, so they also made a resolution at the first time to find a way to counter Zhao Rui's obvious purpose of excavating talents this time.

On the Golden Palace, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, Borkin couldn't be happy even if he recently won the extremely difficult bone of Goryeo.

He has already captured several officials with their families and preparing to defect to the south, and they have been beheaded all over the house. But even such a severe punishment still can't stop people's hearts.

Among them, there are many official positions that have been lost, and those are not caught.

Borkin has never been so worried as he is now, and even he didn't have so much heart when he won the throne, just like attacking a city, just trampling it with soldiers and horses.

"Let's talk about it, how do we deal with Zhao Rui's imperial examination at present!"

Borkin thought hatefully, that Zhao Rui not only used firearms to fight powerfully, but even caught people off guard in terms of strategy, it was almost to the level of evil.

I don't know how Arjuna is, how long has it been since I've seen her......

Borkin shook his head, trying not to think about it, he didn't want to be affected by family affection in his calm decision-making ability.

The important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty were still mainly Mongols, and they exchanged heads and whispered about each other, but no one came out to make suggestions.

At this time, those Song officials looked at their mouths one after another, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

It would be false to say that they were not impressed, but their status was too high, and Borkin had already sent someone to monitor their families, and they had no chance of getting out at all.

Liu Zhengnian's family was basically persecuted by Jia Yidao, so he was alone in the Yuan Dynasty, and while he was capable, it was also because he was persecuted by the Song Dynasty that he was greatly used by Borkin.

At this time, Liu Zheng still had a little regret in his heart, if he hadn't fought with Zhao Rui in Xiangfan and was considered an opponent, then he would have run away a long time ago, so why don't you listen to these Tartars here.

"Liu Zheng, what do you think about this matter!" Borkin's deep voice sounded, and Liu Zheng shuddered coldly when he heard it.

Seeing his thoughtful look, Borkin thought that he was resourceful and should have some way, after all, he proposed the plan to besiege Xiangfan in the first place. The Yuan army surrounded the point to send reinforcements, I don't know how many Song Dynasty troops were defeated, if Zhao Rui didn't intervene, maybe Xiangfan would have been taken now, and then the Southern Song Dynasty would have no barrier, and it would also be in their Yuan Dynasty's bag.

"The minister is here!"

Liu Zheng responded in a deep voice, took a step forward, and at the same time stabilized his mind.

"From Weichen's point of view, Zhao Rui's victory in the war, coupled with the sale of a large number of fabrics, has gathered a lot of wealth, and it is the time when the limelight is in the limelight!"

Before Liu Zheng finished speaking, Ahri Hague was also in the palace at this time, he was straightforward and said disdainfully: "What, Zhao Rui has a lot of benefits over there, don't you also want to take refuge early!" You Song people are all soft bones, since you can take refuge in Dayuan, maybe you can also take refuge in Zhao Rui! ”

Liu Zheng's muscles clenched hard, revealing an undetectable outline on his face, how could Liu Zheng have heard it once if he squeezed people like this?

It's unbearable!

Liu Zheng kept silent, suppressing his anger that could not be expressed.

He Ahri Hague was Borkin's confidant in his early years, and he Liu Zheng was just a surrendered Song official, where did he have any qualifications to fight him head-on!

"Ahri Hague...... Listen to him......"

Borgin didn't care about such a heart-wrenching remark, in his heart, the Mongols were superior to the Song people, so he took it easily.

Forget it, let's just do what you have to do......

Liu Zheng is also an extremely realistic person, and now his position in the Yuan Dynasty is already one of the best in terms of those Song officials who also surrendered, and he is not satisfied.

"When things are going well, people will inevitably be paralyzed and careless, so we can just repay the other in the other way!"

felt that Liu Zheng was speaking at a level, and Borkin looked thoughtful.

"You can't finish your speech in one go! There's something wrong with you! It's half a cut every time, what the hell does it mean! Ahri Hague couldn't understand it, and it was unbearable noise.

That's just you're stupid......

Liu looked at Ahri Hague expressionlessly, but he was despising him fiercely in his heart.

"You're saying we're going to send people to the imperial examinations?" Borkin asked hesitantly.

"Exactly!"

Liu Zheng felt that it was fortunate that Borkin was a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to live in the Yuan Dynasty.

Liu Zheng continued: "I am very familiar with the imperial examination, and when I pick out some articles that are well written, send them out to participate in the imperial examination, if I don't win, it will be fine, if I win, at least it can become the strength of our Dayuan to be placed by Zhao Rui's side!" When the time comes, we will know some of Zhao Rui's decision-making decisions in advance, and it will also plant the seeds for future confrontation! ”

"High! It's really high! ”

Borkin patted the armrest and praised loudly, feeling that he was really right, Liu Zhengwen and Wuquan were really a capable minister!

Following this line of thought, Borkin slowly deduced, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Zhao Rui is now allowed to sell fabrics to the territory and is temporarily in a state of truce, he will definitely meet in the future.

If he inserts people to Zhao Rui's side, and then relies on his own arrangement, let people make more military achievements, and then become a general, and suddenly rebel when the two armies face each other, I don't know what kind of mood Zhao Rui will have.

Borkin felt that the worries here had been solved, and his heart was very happy, and he immediately explained the matter to Liu Zheng to arrange, and he waited for the good news......

On the other hand, in the Song Dynasty, Jia Yidao deserved to be an expert in persecution, and coming up with the same idea was as easy and direct for him as a physiological reaction.

Otherwise, Liu Zheng would not have been persecuted by him and defected to Dayuan.

The advantage of the Southern Song Dynasty is that they have always implemented the imperial examination system, and I don't know how much stronger it is to promote generals with military merits on the side of the Yuan Dynasty.

In this way, the Yuan Dynasty mainly carried out the infiltration of military generals in Zhao Rui's imperial examination, while the Southern Song Dynasty mainly arranged civilian officials.

After the agreement opened the cloth trade, Fancheng returned to its former prosperity.

The streets and alleys are full of people, the aroma of various foods wafting in the air, and the shouts of market vendors make it look like a peaceful and prosperous world.

Since the news of Zhao Rui's imperial examination spread, more and more people have entered Fancheng, and the inns and taverns are full, even to the point that it is difficult to find a room.

So Zhao Rui simply built more pontoon bridges, merged Xiangyang and Fancheng into one city, and used the broader city of Xiangyang to house a steady stream of candidates.

For this reason, Zhao Rui even ordered people to build many inns urgently, and at the same time, Xiangyang's business was also driven to flourish.

In fact, the people in the counties and villages around Xiangfan were not wealthy, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, so the imperial court will not invest too much in infrastructure construction here, and most of the people live on the land.

But Zhao Rui now regards Xiangfan as a central city, which has a strong siphon effect.

The people in the surrounding areas gradually discovered that going to the city to sell some goods or agricultural products was simply more profitable than farming, and they did not have to work as hard as farm work.

Gradually, there were more and more people in the two cities, and the surrounding local products were already in short supply, so the surrounding people went to other places to buy goods and then sell them to Xiangfan City.

Therefore, Zhao Rui also inadvertently turned the surrounding people into second-class dealers.

What sells vegetables and meat is common, from small needlework buttons to large ox cart sedan chairs, which is also done by someone, which greatly improves the economic development of this region.

At the same time, Zhao Rui also has a long-term plan for the city streets of Xiangfan, Fancheng is built later, there are many advanced architectural concepts and scientific planning, so that the ancients can't help but be amazed.
