After Zhao Zhen left Li Gengyun's room, he returned to the palace, and according to the policy set by Li Gengyun, asked Xiangrui to choose a mansion in Xiangyang City as the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and at the same time asked Lin Sen to arrange people to quickly convey it to the cities of Xiangzhou, and publicize it to the outside world, no matter who they think they are virtuous, they can come to Xiangyang to participate in the recruitment test of the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

At the same time, other policies also spread from Xiangyang to all cities, and immediately aroused the unanimous approval of all the people in Xiangzhou. Those who had strong men in their families joined the army one after another, so as to reduce their own taxes, and at the same time, the scholars of the Han family and those with the power of Kong Wu also began to set off for Xiangyang City, ready to show their strength and ambitions.

Li Gengyun has not been idle these days, and after dealing with Lin Wanyu's posthumous affairs, he moved directly to Zhaoxian Pavilion, and worked with Zhao Ziyi as an examiner of Zhaoxian Pavilion to assess the talents who came to participate in the selection.

On the first day of moving to the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Li Gengyun saw that there were already many scholars from poor families who had come to participate in the assessment outside the Zhaoxian Pavilion, most of them were holding books in their hands, with a happy expression, and they were very appreciative of the Zhaoxian Order.

"Mr. Li, are your injuries better?"

Zhao Ziyi was not seriously injured, and he had almost recovered after taking medicine and plasters in the past few days. He saw that Li Gengyun was carried into the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"Much better!"

Li Gengyun's body is not something that can be raised for a while, at least he can't do strenuous exercise in the past six months, but after a few days of cultivation, he can finally handle some daily things, so he chose to move directly to Zhaoxian Pavilion.

"Mr. Li, General Zhao, it's already noon, do you want to open the door and let those virtuous people in?"

Seeing that Li Gengyun and Zhao Ziyi were already in place, the soldiers in charge of guarding the door also walked in and asked if they would open the door of the Zhaoxian Pavilion and let those who were waiting for the assessment come in.

"Well, open the door! A group of ten, five scribes and five warriors. ”

Li Gengyun nodded and said to the soldier, and at the same time he said to Zhao Ziyi: "Ziyi, I am mainly responsible for dealing with those scribes, and you are responsible for dealing with those warriors, and we will divide our labor, so that the efficiency is also higher!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziyi replied, he is not good at literature, but he is proficient in martial arts, and Li Gengyun thinks it is very reasonable for him to distribute it like this.

"Back to Mr. Li, General Zhao! Those who take the test bring! ”

After the soldier opened the gate, he led ten young men into the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Li Gengyun looked at it, and he was also a little helpless, but he didn't expect that the people who came to participate in the assessment this time were all scribes, he smiled awkwardly and said to Zhao Ziyi: "Ziyi, it seems that you are idle!" ”

"Haha, then there is Mr. Lao Li!"

"I've seen Mr. Li! I've seen General Zhao! ”

The ten scribes saluted Li Gengyun and Zhao Ziyi very respectfully, they looked different and dressed differently, some of them were wearing patched rags and their faces were full of vegetables. And some people are wearing luxurious brocade clothes with red faces, and they look like children of large families.

"I've seen all the great talents!"

Li Gengyun also took Zhao Ziyi to return the salute to those scholars, and when he saw the clothes of these people, he already knew that these people were poor scholars, and those were children of the family, but he had no prejudice against anyone, whether it was a cold scholar or a child of a family, as long as he was talented, he would take them for his own use.

"Today is also the first day of the Talent Pavilion, don't be nervous. In Xia Li Gengyun, I believe you have also heard of it. Your status may vary greatly, but in my eyes, you are all equal, and everyone has the opportunity to show their talents. Today, I will ask three questions first, and if I can answer all three questions correctly, I will be able to advance to the next round. ”

As Li Gengyun spoke, he asked the attendant beside him to fetch a blackboard, then handed a note to the attendant and instructed him to write the test questions on the slip on the board.

"Please take your seats, and after writing the exam questions, within a quarter of an hour, please write the answers on the blank paper on the seats, put them in the table, and give them to my attendants, and I will evaluate your answers on the spot! You don't have any comments! ”

"Nope!"

Ten scholars quickly took their seats, and there were scribe seats and a martial arts platform in the Zhaoxian Pavilion. This scribe's seat was naturally prepared for Li Gengyun, and this martial arts platform was reserved for Zhao Ziyi. However, there are no martial artists participating in the assessment today, so the martial arts platform is empty.

"The first question is that there is a restaurant where you can drink wine, and you can exchange it for wine from the empty wine jar that you have drunk. Three empty jars can be exchanged for one jar of wine, you and your friends have ten empty jars, how many jars of wine can you and your friends drink in this restaurant? ”

"The second question, three brothers, the eldest brother mines iron ore in Xizhou, the second brother weaves brocade in Xiangzhou, and the third brother grows grain in Lizhou, how do the three brothers make a fortune?"

"The third question is to take today as the topic, play each one, and write a general sentence of no more than ten words."

Li Gengyun's attendants wrote the three questions on the blackboard, which immediately made some scholars stunned, they usually read the books of sages and sages, the study of Confucius and Mencius, but the three questions of Li Gengyun seem to have nothing to do with the study of Confucius and Mencius, let alone the Four Books and Five Classics, and they can't be related at all.

Faced with such a question, the two scholars in Chinese costumes stood up directly, and said to Li Gengyun with an angry face on their faces: "Mr. Li, what we are studying is the study of the country and the books of sages, is Mr. Li insulting us by using this kind of secular topic to test us?" ”

"That is, if this is even a selection of talents, I think, I am a talent, and it is not appropriate!"

As he spoke, the two scholars raised their heads, put their hands behind their backs, and looked like "Lao Tzu is unparalleled in talent", waiting for Li Gengyun to please them for advice.

But they never expected that what was waiting for them was not Li Gengyun's flattering advice, but the other party's understatement: "Shut their mouths, take them out of the Zhaoxian Pavilion directly, write down their names, and never hire them!" ”

"What?!"

"Li Gengyun, do you know who the two of us are?"

"I don't want to know!"

Li Gengyun's order went down, and the soldiers in the Zhaoxian Pavilion immediately rushed up, and before the two scholars could tell their identities, they were covered by the soldiers and taken out of the Zhaoxian Pavilion directly.

"You go on, don't be influenced by them, Zhaoxian Pavilion is recruiting talents, not here to find Brother Gongzi!"

"Yes!"

The eight scholars who remained in the seats also nodded in agreement with Li Gengyun's statement, and they began to write their answers on a blank piece of paper.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the answers of the eight scholars were also handed over to Li Gengyun. Looking at the answers on the test paper, Li Gengyun really couldn't cry or laugh, these humanities still have talents, because everyone has spent a lot of effort on answering the most question, but only one person really satisfied Li Gengyun.
