The officials selected this time include some candidates with practical talents selected from the original Hanlin Academy, and some of them are talents selected through Enke last time.

It can be said that this group of officials are all practical, not the kind of people who only know how to talk all day long.

"Elder Liu Ge, there is a shortage of talents in the court now. Even if these officials take office, there are still many gaps. If it is decided today, all industries are waiting to be developed, and a large number of talents are needed. Xia Junze sighed.

"What Xia Ge said is extremely true. According to His Royal Highness's intentions, in the future, every year will be opened, and the situation will refer to last year's Enke to choose hard-working talents. This year's Imperial Examination Department is already preparing, and the examination will officially start in September. Liu Jidao.

"This is good, this is good. If it is still according to the previous three-year examination, then the imperial court will really be green and yellow. Moreover, His Royal Highness vigorously reformed the form of the imperial examination, with hard work and ability as the main selection criteria, which avoided those who could only do what they could do, and the corrupt Confucianism who could only talk about the cannon would flow into the court as officials, and they could be much cleaner in the future. Xia Junze stroked his beard and smiled.

"That's the reason, it seems that Ge Lao was tossed by these rotten Confucian streams before." Liu Ji said with a smile.

"That's not, let me tell you, when I led the troops to suppress the thieves, I lost slightly, and after returning to the dynasty, those clear streams were like crazy, alas, don't talk about these bad things back then, let's get down to business."

Xia Junze realized halfway through his speech that Liu Ji was actually waiting to discuss business with him, and hurriedly cut off the momentum of wanting to talk.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about the list, and the things that Liu Ji has decided will just go through the process when he arrives at Xia Junze.

So the two of them watched it quickly, but they stopped when they arrived at Jining Mansion, after all, Jiang Chuan made such a big thing in Jining Mansion this time, and he must be deeply impressed by Jining in the future.

Therefore, the officials selected to serve in Jining must be effective, must have enough ability to govern Jining well, and must completely restore the majesty of the government and the prestige of the imperial court, and completely win back the hearts of the people of Jining.

If there is another mess, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will be furious, and then all of them will be condemned.

Therefore, we must be cautious in the selection of people for the prefect of Jining.

"Li Yan?" Looking at the name on the list, Xia Junze frowned slightly.

"Elder Liu Ge, is this Li Yan the one I know?" Xia Junze turned his head to look at Liu Ji and asked.

"It's that Li Yan."

"He, okay? That's Jining Mansion. Xia Junze had some doubts.

Because the Li Yan they are talking about is Li Zicheng's general who was captured by the Qin army in the Battle of Beizhili last year.

Li Yan was reluctant to surrender at first, but Jiang Chuan did not embarrass him, but allowed him to move freely among the Qin army, see whatever he wanted, and go to whichever military camp he wanted.

Two months later, Li Yan took the initiative to find Jiang Chuan and said that he had figured it out and wanted to surrender.

The reason is that in the past two months, he has become more and more aware that the Dashun army cannot compete with the Qin army at all, and Li Zicheng is not the male lord who can save the world.

Jiang Chuan promised him, and promised that he would not send him to lead troops to attack Dashun while Li Zicheng was alive.

Later, in order to examine his talents, Jiang Chuan appointed him as the magistrate of Anxi County in the north of Zhili to govern one side.

The population of this Anxi county was drastically reduced during the war, a large number of fields were barren, and the surrounding mountains were mountainous, and many defeated soldiers hid in them for bandits and bandits, and the people were miserable.

Although after the war, most of the counties in Beizhili were like this, but the situation in Anxi County was obviously the most serious.

Moreover, the former Anxi County Commander was also killed by random soldiers, so it has been vacant.

Choosing such a county, Jiang Chuan obviously wanted to see what Li Yan's ability was.

Li Yan took his wife and the red lady to calmly take up the post of Anxi County Commander.

After taking office, the first thing Li Yan did was to suppress bandits.

Using the 1,000 soldiers and horses given to him by Jiang Chuan, Li Yan either persuaded the thieves from all walks of life to surrender to Zhao'an, or directly exterminated them, and it took three months to pacify more than a dozen thieves of all sizes in Anxi County one by one.

At the same time, the people were organized to reclaim the wasteland, and those borderless lands were rewarded to the people who reclaimed them. At that time, although the spring planting season was missed, it was no longer possible to cultivate wheat.

However, Li Yan applied for a batch of sweet potato seeds from the household department of the imperial court and organized the people to plant them. At the same time, a large number of vegetables were planted, and he applied to the imperial court for a pardon for the taxes of Anxi County that year.

The next step is to enforce the law and settle the lawsuit.

Li Yan and the red lady cooperated tacitly, and cleared all the backlog of cases in just half a month, acting quickly and fairly, and the people praised each other.

Under Li Yan's various measures to reassure the people, the people of Anxi gradually settled down, began to live and work in peace and contentment, and the authority of the government was also re-established.

After solving the problem of safety and food, Li Yan organized the people, led the officials and troops to repair the houses for the people, and moved some people living in remote areas to live near the capital, taking precautions to ensure that the people could have safe and firm houses to protect themselves from the cold in winter.

At the same time, craftsmen were also organized to build stoves for the common people. After the furnace was built, a large amount of charcoal was dug up by hand to ensure that the people could keep out the cold when it was cold.

Even sometimes Li Yan built the stove by himself, making him plastered.

Under various measures, Li Yan's status in the hearts of the people of Anxi has become higher and higher, and he has become a serious county magistrate.

Among the official evaluation results submitted by the Ministry of Officials at the end of the year, Li Yan's evaluation results were in the forefront among all the prefectures in the country.

After Jiang Chuan read it at the time, he only said: "It's a talent, it's worth a lot of use." ”

Liu Ji kept this sentence in mind at that time, and as soon as the matter of Jining Mansion came out this time, he first thought of Li Yan.

After Xia Junze finished reading Li Yan's file, his eyes also lit up, and he exclaimed: "I didn't expect Li Zicheng to have such talents, but it's a pity that Li Zicheng doesn't have the insight to know talents, and he has the bearing to use people." ”

Liu Ji nodded in agreement and said: "What Elder Ge said is that this Li Yan can lead the troops when he goes into battle, and he can govern the people below, and he is indeed an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. At that time, after Li Yan was captured, he was reluctant to surrender, and kept asking His Highness to kill him. His Highness did not be angry, but let him go around and get to know our army. Two months later, he found His Highness himself and offered to surrender. His Royal Highness let him go to Anxi County. Now it seems that Li Yan is talented, His Royal Highness can discern people, and generosity is the key. ”

Xia Junze was surprised: "There are still such things? It seems that His Highness is His Highness, I can't wait. ”

When the two said this, they both made the decision to promote Li Yan to the prefect of Jining.

At this time, Li Yan was like a farmer, with the hem of his official uniform tucked around his waist, personally supporting the plow, barefoot, walking while shouting and driving the oxen forward, his face was full of sweat, and he could see the appearance of the county order.

And his wife, the red lady, led a group of women to bring water and food to the men of spring ploughing at the edge of the field, and laughed with everyone from time to time.

There was a peaceful and joyful atmosphere between the ridges.

…………

Jiang Chuan took Ji Biao with him, and at this time, he also arrived at the entrance of the 100,000 Mountain with a total of four people from Bai Jinxiu's master and servant.

Liu Yong had already gone to Gaoyou County to take up his post, and Liu Ru was not suitable to follow Jiang Chuan this time, so he followed his brother back to Gaoyou.

100,000 mountains, as the name suggests, are mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, and mountains or mountains. The mountains are full of vegetation, birds and beasts are everywhere, and canyons and high cliffs abound.

And the White Cloud Sect is hidden in this.

If no one leads the way, even if there are 100,000 troops entering the mountains, I am afraid it will be difficult to find the location of the White Cloud Sect.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.

Under the leadership of Bai Jinxiu, the four of them traveled for three or four days in a row, and Bai Jinxiu said that it was about to arrive.

Suddenly a loud eagle whistle pierced the sky in the sky, everyone looked up, and a golden eagle fell from the sky and quickly swooped down towards everyone.

Ji Biao hurriedly drew his sword, but Bai Jinxiu shouted excitedly: "That's Xiaojin, that's Xiaojin, it's here to greet us." ”

Ji Biao was puzzled, and Xiaowen, the maid next to her, also said happily: "This is the golden eagle raised by the old sect master, called Xiaojin." Miss used to feed him often, so he was very close to Miss, except for the sect master, he was the closest to Miss. ”

The golden eagle had swooped down in front of them as he spoke.

Bai Jinxiu hurriedly stretched out his left arm, and the golden eagle retracted its wings, landed firmly on Bai Jinxiu's left arm, and rubbed his head against Bai Jinxiu's life experience, causing Bai Jinxiu to laugh non-stop.

Jiang Chuan was also quite surprised and curious when he saw that they were not intimate with each other, and watched it for a long time.

Ji Biao saw that the golden eagle had no intention of hurting people, and put down the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

After a moment of intimacy between one person and one carving, Bai Jinxiu calmed down, gently touched the back of the golden eagle's neck and said with a smile: "Xiaojin, do you know that I am back, so you came to pick me up?" ”

The golden eagle nodded and shouted at her.

Jiang Chuan was even more surprised when he saw it, and said, "This golden eagle seems to be a spiritual creature, and it can understand your words." ”

Bai Jinxiu said with a little smugness: "Of course." The master respects his old man's omnipotence, and his ability to tame beasts is not bad. Xiao Jin was brought back from the mountains by my master when I was a child, and I have been domesticating it with me, and I am the most intelligent and obedient. On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, I soar in the mountains, and once I find someone entering the mountain, I will notify the master, but I can be well-behaved. Sometimes he will catch some wild things such as hares and roe deer for Shizun, and Shizun will also love it. ”

Jiang Chuan and the others were amazed to hear it.

Although Jiang Chuan has heard of a talented person who can tame eagles, he also knows that birds of prey such as golden eagles are naturally unruly and difficult to tame.

Even many will die in the taming process, and the success rate is definitely not high.

I didn't expect this old white cloud to have such a skill, and it was really a miracle to domesticate this eagle so humanely.

Bai Jinxiu looked at Jiang Chuan, pursed her lips and smiled, touched the feathers on the back of the golden eagle, and said to it: "Xiaojin, you go back and tell Shizun, just say that I am back, and bring a distinguished guest to see his old man's house." ”

The golden eagle seemed to understand her words, and turned his head to look Jiang Chuan up and down, as if looking at him.

Jiang Chuan was amazed and said with a smile: "This is to see if my new aunt is qualified." ”

Everyone laughed, and Bai Jinxiu blushed and said, "Xiao Jin is very wary of strangers, don't you mind." ”

Of course, Jiang Chuan wouldn't mind a flat-haired beast.

"Go quickly, Xiao Jin, tell Shizun that we will be there tomorrow." Bai Jinxiu spoke, and gently stroked the back of the golden eagle again.

The golden eagle nodded, flapped its wings, and rushed back into the air, hovering in the air for a moment before letting out a screech and flying quickly into the distance.
