Early the next morning, Zhuang Yi dealt with some routine business and rushed to Anhua County in the north of the city. This project is indeed at the end of the period, once completed, the next step is to resettle the population, but it is impossible to resettle all the more than 20,000 people in the city, at least a few townships must be set up outside the city.

Since it is the county seat, then the county government and Yiying public housing are to be built first, and when Zhuang Yi found Duan Zhongzhong, he was busy urging craftsmen to build houses. Located in the north of the city, the county government's public house, which is also a large courtyard building, is also almost complete, except for the final work, painting the walls and window lattice, and decorating the houses.

Zhuang Yi is not interested in taking care of these trivial matters, he just needs to grasp the general direction.

Duan Zhongzhong took him to his residence, let people serve tea, and asked impatiently, "Is the food in hand?" ”

"Of course...... We have a large piece of wasteland, and what we lack most now is population! Zhuang Yi smiled helplessly, and asked again: "Speaking of which, these Murowei people, when do you plan to start resettlement?" ”

"There are many meticulous affairs, and it will take at least a month to complete the work, and according to what we have agreed, those who have members in the army will be given priority to be placed in the city, and at most 10,000 people will be resettled, and four squares will be set up; Half of the resettlement outside the city was set up, and four townships were set up, so that it would have the appearance of a county. Duan said faithfully and seriously.

"That's it...... The county seat of Ruluo is also soon, and when the time comes, two or three townships will be moved from the south of Liucheng, and the western part of Liaoning will be stabilized! But the population is still small, and we will slowly figure out a way. Speaking of this county, I haven't taken a good walk to see how well the military defenses at the head of the city are built. ”

"Alright! I'll take you to see the corner tower first......"

The two walked out of the county office, went straight to the city wall, and inspected the corner tower and the city tower all the way.

"Master! Someone from Liucheng sent a message, saying that Fuda had just returned from Youzhou and had brought a large number of groceries and grain. And Mr. Zhu, I came back with him, should we go back? ”

"Hmm...... Then go back! Zhuang Yi said lightly.

"Did Zhu Limin bring someone else?" Duan Zhongzhong was a little curious, so he asked.

"Shi Dali didn't make it clear, maybe he brought it!" Bian Wu replied ambiguously.

"Then I'll go back, Mr. Duan will do a good job and strive to become the county magistrate of Anhua as soon as possible." Zhuang Yi laughed and arched his hand, turned around and went down the city wall.

"You'd better get the official certificate of the assassin as soon as possible, and say this kind of thing again!" Duan Zhongzhong shook his head and said with a smile, he has been a Kou for more than ten years, and he doesn't want to be old, and he can still be a county magistrate from time to time, and his heart suddenly became eager.

Zhuang Yi took several horsemen and guards, ran all the way along the newly repaired official road, and when he entered Liucheng, it was already noon, and it was time for lunch. After thinking about it, I didn't go back to the mansion, so I went to a wine shop in the west of the city. The shopkeeper took them to a private room by the window on the second floor to sit, and Zhuang Yi asked Bian Wu to invite Servant, Zhu Yongji and others to come over, which was regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for them.

After a while, a group of five or six people such as Fuda and Zhu Yongji brought it, and Zhu Yongji really brought four people with him, and when he entered the private room, he pointed to a thin middle-aged scribe in his forties next to him, and introduced him to Zhuang Qian: "This is a friend Bozhou Ning Congfang, who cherishes his words, originally served as a Qingping County Cheng, and was dismissed by Wei Bojiedu Le Yanzhen the year before last, and now he is idle at home, so he invited him to come together." ”

"Bozhou Ning Congjian has seen the Zhuang military envoy!" Ning Congjian stepped forward and saluted.

Zhuang Yi returned the salute, and then listened to Zhu Yongji and said: "These three are Yin Weizhen, the chief bookkeeper of Qingping County, and the words are good; Li Lian of Gaotang County, the word Zhenji, has not been released; Gaotang County is thoughtful and wise, and if the words are clumsy, he has not yet appeared. ”

Zhu Yongji continued: "My four fellow villagers are all township tributes, because of their poor family background, poor background, only passed the Ministry of Rites test, failed to pass the Ministry of Officials Interpretation test, so they failed to officially confer officials, but they are still quite experienced in governing the state and county, and they are the talents that Zhongzheng urgently needs." The two who have been out of office are both Jinshike. Zhenji and Ruozhuo, the former is the Ming Arithmetic Division, and the latter is the Ming Law Division. ”

According to the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, students who were born in the state and county schools, or the Guozijian, Hongwenguan, and Chongwen halls in the capital, were all called students. Scholars who are not from official schools are sent by the state and county to apply for the examination, and they are called township tributes.

Students who take the examination for apprentices and Xianggong, the examination subjects are Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Tongzi, Daoju, Ming Law, Ming Calculation, etc., among which the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi are the most important. The Ming Jing first tried to paste the scriptures and ink meanings, and then tried the current policy theory, and conducted an oral examination; Jinshi pays attention to poetry, endowment, strategy, and theory. Whether it is a student or a village tribute, they must first pass the Ministry of Rites examination to obtain the qualification of the officer, and then pass the interpretation test of the Ministry of Officials before they can be officially conferred.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi", who did not pass the official interpretation test, but had the qualifications to be a teacher, generally speaking, this kind of student is not without talent, but the physical appearance, speech is not good, the ability of arts and sciences, and the director is not very good, so he was eliminated, and the elimination rate of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is very high.

This kind of can only be a local state and county official, starting from the lowest positions such as assistant history and record. If you are appreciated by your boss, it is possible to take off your official robe and be promoted to a genuine official, but this generally takes many years, and many people are just a small official for the rest of their lives.

Obviously, this is the case with the above four people, including Zhu Yongji himself, who may all be. But Zhuang Yi doesn't care, he is a person who only looks at ability, not his background, not to mention his situation, it is already very good if someone is willing to come, how can he pick and choose.

"This land in Liaodong is bitterly cold, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, you can come, Zhuang is very honored, I don't know if the family members have brought it together?" Zhuang Yi said politely, secretly wrote down the four people in his heart, and asked with a smile.

"All bringed...... In March, he went north, dragging his family all the way was very inconvenient, he spent a few days in Youzhou, and happened to meet a servant, if he hadn't brought a soldier of the Xi people, I didn't know it was my own family! Zhu Yongji said with a smile.

"Since the family members have brought it, you can live in Liucheng first, there are a lot of empty houses in the city, Mr. Limin will settle a few for me, and then report to the government office to familiarize yourself with the environment first. At present, there is no formal structure of the government, and I cannot give you a formal position, but there are many things. There is also Liucheng Academy, which is in short supply of teachers, so you can go and see it. But now...... Let's sacrifice the Five Organs Temple first! Zhuang Yi greeted with a smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhuang Yi called the bartender to come and serve the wine and food, raise a glass to drink, and gather together.
