The smooth handover of the new army made He Jin completely relieved, and Cao Cao also analyzed the combat effectiveness of the original Jiang Sheng's army to He Jin, and He Jin really eliminated Jiang Sheng's doubts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since he has already trusted Jiang Sheng, if he continues to monitor, it may make Jiang Sheng resentful, he has no military power, just with the 3,000-person private guard, he can't make any waves, Dong Chong's hussar generals were easily taken down, and Jiang Sheng's level was several levels lower.

After confirming that there was nothing to do, He Jin recalled all the subordinate officials assigned to the Pingdong General's Mansion, and let Jiang Sheng arrange the subordinate officials of the General's Mansion by himself, and lifted the house arrest of Princess Wannian.

Now that the palace has been fully controlled by He Jin, it has become much safer, and Jiang Sheng has no choice but to suppress the pain of lovesickness and not ask to see the princess.

Pingdong General's Mansion is located in the northeast corner of Luoyang City, although the area is very large, but for the three thousand Xuanjia cavalry is still extremely crowded, Jiang Sheng only left five hundred people responsible for the daily patrol and defense of the Pingdong General's Mansion, and the remaining two thousand five hundred people are camped outside the east gate, usually training-oriented, taking turns to undertake the defense of Pingdong General's Mansion and Jiang Sheng's guard work.

This was originally He Jin's private mansion, but now it is given to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng did not shirk, lived in peace, and asked He Jin for maidservants, jewelry, and wine.

He Jin saw that Jiang Sheng really wanted to live a peaceful life, so he selected a hundred young and beautiful women from the family of the criminal official and sent them to Jiang Sheng's mansion.

Jiang Sheng personally went to He Jin's mansion to thank him, "The general is good, but the last general is disrespectful, but now there is no one in the mansion who can serve as a subordinate official, and the last general wants to recruit some people, I don't know if it is suitable?" ”

He Jin said: "Zicheng, this is all a good thing, the court is the time to employ people, you, General Pingdong, don't be greedy for pleasure, but also share worries for the court, recruiting talents, helping military affairs, it is your job, just do it." ”

"Then General Xie." After Jiang Sheng thanked him, he returned to General Pingdong's mansion.

On the second day, Jiang Sheng sent people to post the recruitment list outside the gate of the mansion, and then went to the states and counties to post and publish, recruiting talents with generous treatment, and the applicants accepted the assessment of the Pingdong General's Mansion according to the two routes of civil and military, and those who passed the assessment could serve as subordinate officials at all levels of the General's Mansion according to the grade of the assessment results.

This is the first time in history that officials are selected through independent registration and assessment, at this time, the officials are mainly from the state and county recommendation, the imperial court recruitment and the people with military merits, Jiang Sheng's practice has made many poor children see hope, the recommendation and recruitment are the children of the scholar family, and the poor students do not have this opportunity, and Jiang Sheng gave them the opportunity.

Jiang Sheng set the exam questions by himself in the past few days, and then set up a civil official examination room in the front yard of the Pingdong General's Mansion, and a military attache examination room in the Xuanjia cavalry camp outside the city, and Jiang Sheng personally served as the chief examiner.

Some people are skeptical about this, but everyone is very curious about this refreshing way of electing officials, and they all went to the capital to open their eyes together, and students and people from all over the country came to the capital city in an endless stream, Jiang Sheng asked Songhelou to prepare buns and boiling water for these applicants to eat.

After the registration began, Zhou Cang took the guards to set up a stand on the side of the gate of the Pingdong General's Mansion, and then asked the applicants to line up to register their names, places of origin, and application categories in turn, and after five days of centralized registration, a total of 257 candidates for liberal arts and 163 candidates for martial arts were registered.

General Pingdong set up Changshi, Sima, Master Book, Zuojun Sima, Zhonglang, Qu Junhou and Pingdong General's Mansion Zhu Cao Rafter with reference to the generals, with a total of more than 20 positions, and now the number of applicants has reached 420 people, and the competition is fierce!

Because of the lucrative pay, all of them are gearing up and eager to try.

Jiang Sheng was the main examiner, and in order to ensure that the assessment was carried out in an orderly manner, Jiang Sheng put the liberal arts exam in front and the martial arts exam in the back. During the liberal arts examination, candidates for martial arts can visit and study in the Xuanjia cavalry battalion, and Zhao Yun set up a lot of subject exercises for candidates to study and visit according to Jiang Sheng's intentions.

The liberal arts examination is divided into three parts, the morning is the first part, the closed-book exam, Jiang Sheng extracted the content of political discourse from the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period as the exam questions, and asked the candidates to complete the answers within a time limit.

The second part is scheduled in the afternoon, which is a political exam, which requires candidates to analyze and put forward opinions on the current government and the general situation of the world.

The third part is the interview, which is conducted by the combination of liberal arts and martial arts, and Jiang Sheng conducts an on-site inspection to determine the candidates for subordinate officials.

He Jin was very interested in Jiang Sheng's method of selecting officials, so he asked Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, to visit Jiang Sheng in the Pingdong General's Mansion to see how the selection of officials was carried out.

Jiang Sheng extended a warm welcome to Chen Lin's arrival and took his arm to greet him.

"Master Chen, but you're interested in my method of selecting officials?"

"My Han election officials have always been recommended and recruited, and this kind of assessment and selection of officials without restrictions is the first time I have heard of it."

"I wonder if the master book has any good insights?"

"Well, is this selection based on the results of these people's exam questions?"

"Exactly, with real talent and real learning as the only criterion."

"If there are people with real talents and learning, who are morally corrupt and consumed by the desire for profit, will they also become officials?"

"I don't know anything about the main book, my assessment is not only this, but also political commentary, interviews, and it is difficult for people with bad morals to pass the assessment."

"Interview? Could it be that General Jiang took the exam in person? ”

"Exactly." Jiang Sheng secretly praised Chen Lin, who was indeed smart.

The two were walking and chatting in the examination room when the guards dragged one of the candidates up.

"Spare your life!" The candidate begged loudly for mercy.

Zhou Cang shouted: "Drive away!" The guards dragged and dragged the candidate out of the Pingdong General's Mansion.

Chen Linqi said: "I don't know why? ”

"There are assessment rules for the assessment, and cheaters will be disqualified from the assessment and expelled from the house."

When the candidates saw that Zhou Cang really expelled people, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and answered the questions obediently.

It was already June, and it was extremely hot, so Jiang Sheng ordered the guards to send boiled water to each candidate to prevent the candidates from being spoiled by the heat.

When it was almost noon, Songhelou sent steamed buns, two for each candidate.

At noon, Zhou Cang sounded a gong, all the candidates put down the pens in their hands, and the guards in charge of the invigilation took away the candidates' answer sheets in turn and sent them to Jiang Sheng's office.

At the end of the exam, some of the candidates were smiling, some were dejected, and they were all munching on buns and resting in the front yard of the Pingdong General's Mansion looking for shade, and the afternoon assessment will soon begin.

Chen Lin was really eye-opening, and he also tasted the buns of Songhelou, and he was full of praise, he was going to report to He Jin in a hurry, and he didn't know how He Jin would feel. (To be continued.) )
