267 The Imperial Examination of Hongmen

The shipping on Hongmen Dayuan Island has gradually become more frequent, which has made the ears and eyes of many surrounding forces aware of it.

Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands had another bumper harvest year last year, and when the northern homeland of China was still ravaged by the cold climate of the Xiaoice River, Dayuan Island was able to produce three seasons of grain a year.

From Luzon and the Paracel Islands, the manure accumulated by birds for tens of thousands of years on uninhabited desert islands has become the best and most environmentally friendly fertilizer under the catalytic action of time, and a series of agricultural technologies such as burning animal bones and interplanting soybeans and peanuts have made people no longer worry about the danger of losing the fertility of the land by cultivating again and again.

Of the hundreds of granaries built by Hongmen in the entire Dayuan Island, almost none of them are vacant, and they are either full of Lehuang Cancan, or most of the granaries have been capped.

In addition to the inherent income from agricultural taxes and the income from the large farms under the command of Qi Xintang, more grain was purchased and hoarded by Hongmen from the hands of the people with real money.

First, this is to preserve the enthusiasm of the people to grow grain, and second, it is also because the entire Hongmen system is a large consumer of grain, and if there is no plan drawn up by the civil affairs department, I am afraid that there may not be a surplus.

Of course, the grain was used for many purposes, and it was consumed quickly, and it could be used to brew alcohol and supply livestock to the farms, but its larger use was to supply the increasingly large Hongtang military headquarters.

"Hurry up, we must deliver the 100,000 stone grain in this granary to the ship before tonight!"

In the middle of the night, Jingpu Town, a remote area under the influence of Hongmen, was extremely busy.

As an important rubber industry belt in Hongmen, to be honest, the amount of grain planted in Jingpu has always been relatively small in the Hongmen system.

However, as rubber trees began to be planted in the Luzon Islands and began to produce them one after another, Shizuura's former position began to waver.

After all, the climate of Jingpu Town, for the growth of rubber trees, is still a little unsuitable, large input, low output and extremely high cost, so in the case of more and more rubber tree cultivation in Luzon, Jingpu began to reduce rubber planting in a planned way, and instead increased the planting of more grain.

"Captain, don't worry, you won't lose time."

The busy laborers below, with a smiling face stained with sweat, replied affirmatively.

The outside world has paid a lot of attention to the sudden increase in the number of sea ships coming and going on Hongmen Dayuan Island, but until now they have not noticed any movement, because more of Hongmen's actions are completed in the dark night, in remote villages and strongholds, which is almost impossible to grasp.

After the fall of the Dashun Dynasty, Hongmen's secret actions have not stopped, not only as the main direction of the Liaodong Theater, but also the base camp is also working overtime to let the important factories and workshops start, and at the same time, all kinds of materials are quietly transported to the Liaodong Theater without attracting attention.

In important places such as Keelung County and Bengang County on Dayuan Island, there are more things that attract the interest of these spies at this time.

“…… Due to the intensification of the need for talents in all aspects of Hongmen, the Hongmen government agency entry examination will be held on the 10th day of April in the 24th year of Chongzhen, and 1,385 talents of all kinds will be selected for this examination, and all kinds of people are welcome to participate actively. ”

“…… The conditions for participation are as follows: possess a legal citizen residence permit issued by the Hongmen government; Be between the ages of 18 and 45; At the same time, there are other requirements for each position, please check carefully before applying. ”

At the gate of the cafeteria of the Keelung County Branch of Bengang School, a notice was suddenly posted, attracting students and teachers who came to eat.

"Wow, this year's civil service exam, is it ahead of schedule or is there two chances?"

Originally, Hongmen would hold Li Tianyang's so-called civil service examination every two years or so, but this year's examination was supposed to be held in September, because this sudden posting of the notice made the students and people with lofty ideals who were concerned about this matter excited at the same time, and at the same time, there were some doubts.

As an emerging and dynamic team, Hongmen is expanding rapidly in all departments, and it needs a lot of talents.

And what makes these positions in Hongmen the most attractive is the generous treatment and benefits of the various departments under Hongmen, as well as the style of acting that has always served the people, which is different from the style of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty.

In Li Tianyang's words: Lao Tzu would rather make less money, and he can't treat this group of talented and capable guys under his hands badly, lest they spend their minds on crooked ways for a few dollars!

Li Tianyang's policy of high salaries and honesty in this era, as well as the strict anti-corruption system that accompanied it, not only did Hongmen, a superficial non-governmental organization, maintain its full vitality, but also set up a ruling system for the people of this era that was more considerate of the people.

However, this system also made the title of the old civil servant leaked out of Li Tianyang's mouth quickly spread among Hongmen and became the official title of the staff of Hongmen government agencies.

At the same time, this system made many Confucian and Legalist disciples who saw too many dark and gloomy pictures in the Ming Dynasty and lost hope put down the weak patriotic thoughts of loyalty to the monarch in their hearts and threw themselves into the competition with the talents cultivated by Hongmen.

"Eh, the personnel recruited by this Ministry of Industry actually need to be certified as a craftsman skill occupation level 3 or above, isn't it embarrassing for me to go?"

"Who knows what this craftsman skill job certification is all about?"

“……”

"Fortunately, I'm idle, I'm fine, thinking about the reason that I don't have a lot of skills, I took the accountant level 3 exam early, I don't know if it's a craftsman level 3?"

“…… Yes? This accountant can only be regarded as a cultural professional certification? Nothing to do with craftsman certification? ”

"!!"

Announcements about the civil service examinations in April were posted not only in the schools in Bengang at the Hongmen Talent Training Base, but also at the doors of the neighborhood committees under the Hongmen government.

Not long after, this announcement was passed on to the people of Hongmen through the storytellers scattered among the tea shops in the streets and alleys of Hongmen, setting off a lively picture.

At the same time, Zhang Ziyi of the Hongmen Ministry of Education, with his staff, arranged various matters for the recruitment of civil servants who had been added temporarily.
