268 Talent Gathering

At the gate of the Keelung County Government, in front of the notice board that specially posted all kinds of major events and announcements, after the bustle of the previous two days, it has become crowded again.

But today, there is another guest here, standing in front of the notice board and reading the contents carefully.

“…… On the 10th day of the fifth month of the 24th year of Chongzhen, the Hongmen government agency entry examination was held, and 1,385 talents of all kinds will be selected for this examination......"

Word by word, for fear of missing one of the keywords, so that he would eventually miss the big test, the man in the Confucian shirt with a vicissitudes of life and a bit of dusty atmosphere, stayed in front of the notice board with a solemn expression for more than half an hour, and then slowly walked towards the "Youjian" inn at the dock in Keelung County.

"Fortunately, it came in time, and there is still time to prepare everything, and I hope that this time I can be in high school in one fell swoop."

The middle-aged man who was in the dust, surnamed Ma Chengshi, was originally a showman in Jindi, Shanxi, and later Shanxi was taken by Li Zicheng of the Dashun Dynasty, including people of insight, Ma Chengshi, who was quite famous in the local area, for his relatives, finally descended to King Chuang and became a county commander under the command of Dashun.

However, the good times did not last long, with the fall of Dashun, in order to appease the hearts of the people at the beginning, ministers like Ma Chengshi and them naturally had few difficulties, as long as they did not make trouble, then it would be fine, but with the Dashun territory under the clean-up of Governor Sun Chuanting, it gradually got on the right track, and the Ming Dynasty was the orthodox royal family, so it will be difficult to treat these ministers in the future.

The far-sighted Dashun ministers, naturally know that these stains on their bodies must be extremely difficult to get rid of, unless there are nobles in the court to help, otherwise if you want to rise step by step in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it will be more difficult than the Shu Road.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty has always treated literati preferentially, although the big guy has lost the road to officialdom, but if he wants to indulge in the landscape and play the world, the Ming Dynasty will not control it too much.

However, literati like Ma Chengshi were unable to gain the reputation of Jinshi and hold power because of the poor performance of Bagu, but under Dashun, they were able to appreciate the fragrance brought by power, but they were no longer willing to return to the bookish atmosphere of the year when they did not ask about things outside the window.

After all, in their own opinion, when they were the officials of the official county, their ability was no worse than those Jinshi scholars in the Ming Dynasty, although the Dashun royal family was luxurious, and the officialdom was gradually chaotic, but the people in the county they managed did not dare to say that they lived and worked in peace and contentment, but they were also well organized, compared to the group of wine bags and rice bags, it was countless times stronger!

Therefore, after cutting off the way to advance in the Ming Dynasty, and Ma Chengshi's family had already suffered misfortune in this battle to destroy the country, and was looted by a group of defeated soldiers who coveted their family assets, and only a dozen people survived in the mouths of hundreds of clansmen.

Ma Chengshi, who had no worries about the future, took the surviving clansmen, as well as the wives and children who were not killed with the children around him, and simply hung up the seal and went away, and came to Hongmen by boat, trying to make a comeback here.

According to folk rumors, the people of Hongmen are wealthy, and there is a government that exercises the power of the government, regardless of status, and recruits people of insight without discrimination, bringing the last hope of advancement to Ma Chengshi, who is ruined and has no backers.

But unfortunately, yesterday on the cargo ship between Keelung and Quanzhou, Ma Chengshi, who was bumpy and vomited and lost a lot of face, just boarded the wide and busy wharf of Keelung Port, and after staying at the inn with a bit of pain, he listened to the people at the dinner table talking about this scientific expedition, but Ma Chengshi was immediately excited.

After settling down with his relatives and resting for a while, Ma Chengshi inquired all the way to the notice board at the entrance of the Keelung County Government the next day to confirm what he heard.

"The big entrance examination for the government...... Civil Service Examination ......"

Recalling that after spending three taels of silver last night and inviting a local storyteller to eat and drink, the other party told him about the strange customs in Keelung County, Ma Chengshi was still a little confused at this time, and he didn't know if his adventure was worth it.

"The residence permit needs to choose a suitable place to live in the nine residential areas under Keelung County, find a landlord to sign a long-term contract, and use this as proof to apply for a residence permit to the Public Security Bureau."

"It's just that which position to choose, but there are some problems, this Hongmen government's job can let people choose their specialty from the beginning, instead of arbitrarily delegating to a place or court after being admitted to fame like the Ming Imperial Examination."

"Well, I'll have to think about which position has more potential!"

When he first arrived, Ma Chengshi had a black eye on many things, although he felt that he had talents, but he also needed to inquire about the specific division of labor of the more than 1,300 positions on the notice.

Like him, there were not many literati who had been silent in the Ming Dynasty, and there were not a few Danshuikeng, and there were many of them who had studied in Hongmen for many years, and who were more aware of and optimistic about the future of Hongmen.

"I said nerd, I'm afraid this is a good opportunity for you to show your skills, you have taken so many certificates in the academy quietly, I'm afraid you will have more opportunities to choose!"

A few third-year students who were supposed to go out for internships in the past two months walked shoulder to shoulder on the spacious road in Keelung County, jokingly talking to each other, but it seemed that they were more concerned about the weak student who was caught in the middle by a few of them.

The person who is called a nerd is the boy who has the best grades in his group of elementary schools, but he has not been able to enter the senior school because of his abnormal performance in the exam, his surname is Enhong, and his age is exactly fifteen years old.

Xi Enhong habitually blushed, and modestly retorted: "In fact, the top three certificates of craftsmen require more written knowledge, as well as a general understanding and familiarity with the actual operation, and it will not require a high level of proficiency, otherwise with my body, how can I do those jobs!" ”

"Presumably, the government recruits these positions and needs these certificates, hoping that candidates can have a general understanding of the industry, rather than a layman who doesn't know anything, in fact, as long as you are willing, you can easily pass."

"I just want to get the certificate before this exam, even if I can't catch up!"
