Although he has experienced countless times of disappointment and disappointment after the release of the list, Lao Tongsheng still feels nervous, in the teahouse opposite the city government, he and Jiang Xiucai and other friends sit together, anxiously waiting for the results of the list. "Hey, I wonder if you are sure in your hearts? To tell the truth, the little brother has a headache when he sees those arithmetic topics, and I'm afraid I'm going to fall off the list this time! ”

"Hey, so is my little brother! When I picked up the test paper, I saw that the things that I had studied hard for more than ten years were useless! This is really", Lao Tong said uncomfortably, he worked as an account office for a period of time in order to make a living, and he was better than others in arithmetic, but this kind of thing is just to add to the trouble, it is better not to mention it.

"Brothers, the question of this administrative aptitude test is not easy to say, how did you answer it?" After the exam, the answer is a thing that is indispensable at any time, and these people are not exempt from vulgarity, "The younger brother has some experience in the first question, this sea trade is all some strange and ingenious things, cold can not be hungry and hungry, it is useless for the country and the people, if the little brother wins this time, he must have a good life to advise him!" The 100-year rule of the Qing Dynasty has made these scholars lose their long-term vision.

"Neither nor not!" , Lao Tongsheng retorted, "It's not undesirable overseas, at least in terms of firearms, it will be much better than my Great Heavenly Empire, if you can exchange some silk porcelain for muskets and cannons, it's not impossible." He habitually wanted to talk about me in the Qing Dynasty, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Funing was no longer the territory of the Qing Dynasty, so he immediately changed his words.

"It's not appropriate for Tai'a to other people's hands after all, and you still have to do it yourself!" , Jiang Xiucai shook his head and said another opinion, "When the junior brother was reading the history books, he was quite puzzled to see that after crossing the river in the Song Dynasty, Gaozong was able to confront Jinmeng for a hundred years with a corner of the south. Later, after many verifications, I learned that the Great Song Dynasty relied on sea trade to earn countless gold and silver to support it, which shows that there must be people who are familiar with history books in this safflower society! ”

"The list is out!" A shout interrupted their conversation, and the group stood up at the same time, and hurried downstairs to the place where the list was posted. The front has long been tightly blocked.

Everyone finally squeezed to the front, only to see that the list is different from the past, the top is the admission statement, explaining that the administrative ability test and the essay of this examination are 100 points each, and the total score of the two subjects is more than 80 that is, the written test is passed, and the person who passes needs to go to the city government to participate in the interview within three days. Below is a neat table showing the candidates' names and their total scores for both exams, in addition to their names. After scanning the instructions, everyone immediately looked for their names in the form.

"Fifty-six points in the administrative aptitude test and forty-one points in the argument! Ha ha. I've passed, I've passed! Lao Tongsheng first danced and laughed, and then squatted on the ground and cried after laughing for a while.

Everyone didn't comfort or persuade, just sighed and patted him on the shoulder, all the people present were people who had repeatedly failed the exam, so they naturally understood Lao Tongsheng's current mood.

"Brother Lin, you've been hit too!" , everyone quickly discovered Jiang Xiucai's name. "The administrative aptitude test scored 32 points, and the argument was as much as 65 points! Presumably Brother Lin's views on sea trade have won the appreciation of the examiner! ”

"Huh. Fluke! Jiang Xiucai was much calmer than Lao Tongsheng, and arched his hand at them lightly, "Today I am the east, let's go to Antai Building, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

The whole list is read. Two of these people scored, and the rest of the people didn't win, but they were only one or two points worse than their scores, so they weren't too frustrated, and they secretly made up their minds to study the exam guide again after they went back. Register for the next exam!

After some celebration, everyone went home to rest, and on the second morning, they couldn't wait to come to the place where they received the admission ticket last time for an interview. It was still Lao Tongsheng who went in first, only to see an oval table in the hall in a strange way, and three men sitting opposite the table.

The examiners of this interview are Chen Jialuo, Lu Feiqing and Xin Yan, for the first batch of literati who came to the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo did not plan to treat them strictly, as long as they spoke clearly and were not too pedantic, they all planned to stay, and after simply asking Lao Tongsheng a few questions, Chen Jialuo picked up his report card, "Well, I think you still have some foundation in arithmetic, and the current tax bureau, trade bureau and industrial and commercial bureau all need skilled talents in arithmetic, I don't know which department you want to go to?" ”

"Student, is this a success?" , Lao Tongsheng became excited again, he recognized Xin Yan, knew that he was now the Funing prefect of the Red Flower Society, and asked in front of him that this person was in the middle, is it higher than the status of the prefect?

"Well, it's passed!" , Chen Jialuo smiled slightly, "Our safflower club pays attention to two-way choice, and you can also talk about what requirements you have for the department you work in." ”

"I wonder what the tax bureau, the trade bureau and the industrial and commercial bureau are in charge of?" , Lao Tongsheng asked cautiously.

"The tax office is in charge of tax collection, the trade bureau is responsible for coordinating local and other business matters, and the industrial and commercial bureau is responsible for supporting local factories and business development! Specifically", Chen Jialuo briefly introduced these three departments.

After thinking about it, Lao Tongsheng still chose the tax bureau, in his opinion, collecting taxes for the government is a very majestic thing, maybe there will be a lot of oil and water. Next, Jiang Xiucai also successfully passed the interview and was arranged to the Trade Bureau because of the analysis of maritime trade in the application; Everyone else has their own arrangements.

After passing the exam, the Red Flower Society did not let them go directly to the post, but brought them to Fuding to undergo a one-month training in Jingshi University, so that they had a preliminary understanding of the political philosophy and administrative process of the Red Flower Society, and then arranged them to their respective departments.

When they arrived at their respective departments, it was another one-month internship stage, and these newcomers were familiar with all aspects of the department's work with the old people in the unit, and then the corresponding positions were arranged according to their abilities. It was only at this time that they became full-time employees in the Red Flower Society's government.

I have to say that there is a big gap between this and their previous psychological expectations, in their opinion, they should come to be an official if they pass the exam, but now they are only a small official, but the ability shown by the old people in the department and the relatively generous treatment make them reluctant to leave, so they stay. (To be continued......)
