Xiangyang, the state pastoral house.

After more than a few months, when I returned to Xiangyang, I had long lost the prosperity I had at the beginning, which was the inevitable consequence of the war.

On the top of the main hall, Liu Bei sat on the head, and his excitement was overflowing, although this battle wasted a lot of time, it was finally successful.

Zhang Fei was the only one in the list of generals who was sullen, as if he had eaten gunpowder, with a black face, he didn't know who he wanted to throw his face on, and his colleagues knew Zhang Fei's rough temper, so they naturally wouldn't touch this mold.

Liu Bei's gaze fell on Zhang Fei, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a hint of ridicule: "Yide, who provoked you?" ”

Zhang Fei lowered his head, frowned, and still didn't say a word, but Zhang He beside him was secretly laughing, only he knew the reason.

"Woo! What the hell is going on here? ”

Liu Bei asked tentatively.

Zhang He stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "General Yide is having trouble with himself." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei was furious, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in the main hall, so he had to hold this resentment in his heart.

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Bei was even more puzzled.

Zhang He snorted and said: "The last general killed most of the generals of the Cao army, including the seriously wounded Niu Jin, originally General Yide wanted to kill Cao Ren to make meritorious contributions, but when he arrived at the state pastor's mansion, Cao Ren was no longer there. ”

This sentence hooked the resentment in Zhang Fei's heart, Zhang Fei shouted: "Cao Ren, this old boy ran really fast, as soon as I entered the city, the fast horse rushed directly to the state pastor's mansion, even so, but still let him run!" ”

Liu Bei laughed a few times on his back, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." It doesn't matter, you can't kill it this time, and there will be another time, so you can definitely kill it. ”

"That's different!" Zhang Feihuan's eyes widened. crossed his waist with one hand and said sharply: "Second brother, all of them can make meritorious contributions, just me!" ”

Zhang Fei's temper really made everyone laugh.

Liu Bei held back his laughter, waved his hand and said, "Who said that Yun Chang made a meritorious service?" ”

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Take Fancheng." Waiting for work with ease, with the courage of the second brother, he can't kill Cao Hong? ”

"Of course you can kill Cao Hong!"

Liu Bei replied very confidently, and this sentence surprised Zhang Fei even more, and a pair of eyes stared at Liu Bei with doubt, "It's just that I ordered Yun Changxiu to kill Cao Hong." ”

Zhang Fei, who was already puzzled, was even more puzzled at this time, not only him, everyone present was puzzled by this, since ancient times, the battlefield has been life and death, there is no benevolence, righteousness and morality at all, and now there is no reason to let go of the fierce generals under the command of Cao Thief!

Why did Liu Bei do this?

Faced with faces full of doubts. Liu Bei really couldn't explain anything, so he had to say vaguely: "Cao Hong is the inside line I planted."

Naturally, everyone will not believe this sentence, but they also understand the connotation of this sentence, and their own lord doesn't want to explain, so why bother asking again.

Cao Hong, the word is cheap.

But the word Lian seems to be very incompatible with him, this person is quite greedy for money, and he is a member of Cao Cao's most wealthy generals, but it is precisely because of his greed for money that he has ** for money. can become the only general in this group of elders who died well.

The silver buildings in Xudu, Luoyang and Yecheng almost all have Cao Hong's shares, and within the Cao Group, they have climbed into such a force. It plays an extremely important role in stabilizing the entire business network.

Based on this, Liu Bei secretly ordered Guan Yu to kill Cao Hong.

Xu Shu and Kong Ming also knew about it, and the rest of them didn't know.

Xia Shou Tian Feng stood up and arched his hand: "Lord! Xiangfan has fallen into the hands of the lord, and the entire territory of Jingzhou will be in the hands of the lord in less than half a year. ”

"There's no rush for this." Liu Bei waved his hand, "In three or five years, the Cao thief will definitely not dare to be embarrassed, we have enough time to digest these places, and we are not in a hurry at this time!" At this time, the most critical issue is the problem of talent, as the territory increases, there is always a need for a large number of officials to manage these places, and the management cannot be abandoned because the expansion rate is too fast. ”

Tian Feng bowed his hand: "The lord's words are reasonable, but Feng was negligent." ”

"Huh!" Liu Bei smiled lightly: "In the troubled times, the first thing is the soldiers, horses, money and food, the territory of the city, what is wrong with Yuan Hao!" It's just that I think that those who achieve great things are like building a house, and if the foundation is not solid, they will eventually step on it. In recent years, our expansion speed has been a little too fast, and it takes a stable period of time to develop and consolidate the results! ”

Tian Feng suddenly remembered Liu Bei's words, behind the war is the competition of national strength!

"Development is the last word!"

Liu Bei chewed on this sentence repeatedly in his mouth, paused, was silent for a moment, and said: "Yuan Hao! I want to hold a national examination in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, meritocracy, regardless of background, according to their results, how about arranging positions? ”

"Then this act of filial piety"

Tian Feng was a little skeptical.

"Filial piety?" Liu Bei snorted lightly, shook his head and said: "Xiaolian thinks that the family is in charge, but the truly talented people have no way out at all, it's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!" ”

Examination!

It was a relatively new term, and it was a feat of its time.

Tian Feng frowned, and arched his hand: "But this exam, how to rely on it, how to implement it, I really don't know anything!" What's more, in such a large-scale exam, the greater the momentum, the more people will participate in the exam, and the more difficult it will be to control. ”

"Huh! We can't stop doing it because it's difficult, we can think of something. ”

Liu Bei paused, trying to recall the relevant rules and regulations of the civil service examination in later generations, and said: "The examination can be divided into two kinds, one of which is the national examination, which is relatively difficult and can participate in politics. governance in the core system;

The second is the local examination, which is to take the county as a unit and hold an examination by itself, from which the best are selected and recruited, and become local officials.

Those who take the national examination need to go through the local preliminary examination, and those with excellent results can come to Xiangyang to participate in the national examination, so that the number of people can be effectively controlled, how about it? ”

Tian Feng gasped, carefully pondered Liu Bei's words, and said softly: "Lord! Although this idea is good, once the power is delegated to local officials, it will inevitably cause corruption, and as a result, the national examination will once again come to naught, and it will exist in name only! ”

"Hmmm! Yuan Hao is reasonable, corruption has to be prevented! Liu Bei took a deep breath, his eyes were profound, and he said, "Yuan Hao! It's better to do this, like the function of the political inspector, set up another agency to investigate the corruption caused by the national examination, and once it is discovered, it will be severely punished! At best, he will be imprisoned for ten years and will never be hired, or he will be beheaded for public display, and the three clans will be razed! ”

"This" Tian Feng bowed deeply: "Wouldn't it be too heavy?" ”

"Is it heavy?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically: "The punishment must be heavy, otherwise it will be difficult to stop this trend of corruption!" Everything is for the national examination, for the development of national strength, it is nothing to be ruthless. ”

Tian Feng was silent.

Liu Bei sighed, waved his hand and said, "Yuan Hao! The matter of the Jingzhou expedition will be handed over to you, and I have only one principle, I must take the entire territory of Jingxiang with the least casualties. ”

Tian Feng gave another salute: "Don't worry, the lord has his own measure." (To be continued.) )
