"In that case, let's retreat! After retiring from the army, I naturally let Ma Chao go! Yang Xu said again!

Ma Teng glanced at Ma Chao, who was struggling to himself, and said solemnly: "I hope you keep your promise!" If Chao'er loses a single hair, I will definitely raise a large army and attack Chang'an! ”

Yang Xu smiled, "I will naturally keep my promise!" "Then turn the horse back to the city! After just a few steps, he turned back, "Also, your threats are useless to me!" ”

So the two sides of the fierce battle each paid their own troops, and Yang Xu released Ma Chao after returning to the city.

"Father, are we really going to leave like this?" Ma Chao, who had just returned to the camp, was anxious to ask Ma Teng.

"Rebel, it's not because of you! If it weren't for your courage and ruthlessness, why would you have been captured by that Yang Xusheng and forced us to retreat! Ma Teng saw Ma Chao and immediately said angrily.

Ma Chao felt a little guilty and said, "I'm not back!" Then we don't have to keep any bullshit conventions! Tomorrow lead the army to attack the city! ”

But he didn't want Ma Teng to be even angrier when he heard it, "Who do you think we are, bandits?" What was just promised was broken the next day. You remember to me that our Ma family is the descendants of General Fubo, and we can't do such villain behavior, and Yang Xu has already released you, how can I not believe it. When I go back, I'll be thinking about it for a month! ”

Taken by Ma Teng's majesty, Ma Chao had no choice but to retreat, but he secretly swore in his heart, "Yang Xu, two years later, I, Ma Chao, will be ashamed of today!" ”

Ma Teng retreated, Yang Xu was both strange and lucky, he didn't expect Ma Teng to keep his promise so much, the condition he said was just an expedient measure made by Yang Xu when he saw that the soldiers suffered too many casualties.

Now that the Liangzhou army has retreated, Yang Xu is also ready to return to Chang'an, but before that, he needs to determine who will stay behind.

"Wei Yan, in this battle, you will kill the horses, and you will be appointed as the Taishou of Stability, the general of Yamen, train the soldiers, appease the army and the people, and guard against Ma Teng in Liangzhou."

"The last general commands!" Wei Yan responded excitedly, a city is too guarded, he has only been here for less than a month, and he has won this honor, how can he not be happy.

"How's the injury yesterday?" Yang Xu asked with concern again.

I saw Wei Yan patting his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the lord is fine!" ”

Yang Xu called Li Yan again, "Although this Anding City is not big, it is very important, you will be responsible for assisting Wei Yan in the future and managing military discipline and people's livelihood!" ”

"No!" Li Yan immediately responded.

Yang Xu nodded with satisfaction, for Li Yan, he was still more assured, as an important minister of Shu in the future, the existence of the five-dimensional attribute 92, a little stability is not a problem.

ordered everything to stay in Anding, and Yang Xu only led a battalion of men and horses back to Chang'an.

On the third day after returning to Chang'an, Xu Huang also came with news that Tianshui had been captured. Yang Xu immediately summoned Yi Ji and asked him to go to Tianshui to assist Xu Huang, and at the same time recall Huang Zhong.

Under the capture of Tianshui and the unification of Yongzhou, Yang Xu opened the system panel, only to see that in terms of his own power attributes, the population increased by 1 million, the capital income and expenditure became 3,000, and the income and expenditure of military rations were finally positive, becoming 100,000.

The foreign enemy is cleared, then Yang Xu is ready to get rid of the bad government, the first thing is to bear the brunt of the talent, now most of the officials are from the gentry and wealthy families, this is a bad phenomenon, and even a dangerous sign, if Yang Xu is ready to introduce some policies that are not conducive to the gentry and wealthy families, then the officials will go against the law, or even go against the grain, and the ability of these people to govern has yet to be examined, so Yang Xu has to move out the imperial examination system in later generations and announce it to the world in advance.

"My lord, although the imperial examination system you said can fairly select talents, it has pushed all the scholars to the opposite side!" After listening to what Yang Xu said, Zhang Zhao frowned and said with a wry smile, "Although the lord's prestige has risen greatly this time, Yongzhou is still the world of the scholar clan, and such a drastic move may cause trouble!" ”

Yang Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Then half of the officials are selected by the imperial examination, and the other half is still retained as an official of the scholar clan, but they must take the school examination, and they can't leave some corpse vegetarian people in office, this is my bottom line, if there are still people making trouble, then I don't mind killing people!" ”

Seeing that Yang Xu had made up his mind, Zhang Zhao didn't dare to persuade him, he believed that those scholars would recognize the facts.

Next, he discussed with Zhang Zhao the level of the scientific examination and the content of the scientific examination, the grade Yang Xu originally moved to later generations, and the content was modified, not only the way of Confucius and Mencius, but also the basic arithmetic, Gewu, and law.

After two days, the matter of the scientific expedition was finally discussed, and Yang Xu was ready to make it public.

The streets of Chang'an.

A group of people pointed around the notice that had just been posted, and one literate read it aloud.

"General Yang Xuling, now Yongzhou is newly determined, and there is a shortage of officials"

"What is written on this, explain it to everyone!" Someone couldn't wait to ask.

After reading it, the man was speechless in surprise, smiled after half a ring, and said: "It says that the general Yang Xu recruits talents, and anyone who is interested in being an official can take the exam in Chang'an after a month, and take the top 100, the first is the champion, the county order, the second is the list eye, the master is thin, the third is Tanhua, and the waiter is the Lang,

The remaining ninety-seven people, who are officials and officials, are all arranged! ”

"Ahh Wouldn't my son be able to try it? ”

"I've been reading for a few years, so why don't I take the exam once~"

For a while, the crowd exploded, and you and I were shocked, but excited.

Zhangjia in the east of the city.

"The head of the family, what kind of imperial examination is Yang Xu preparing for, meaning that he is preparing to select officials from among the commoners! In this way, the power of our Zhang family will have many more constraints in this Yongzhou area. A staff member said to the head of the Zhang family.

"Yang Xu is preparing to suppress the family, so he came up with this imperial examination, in this case, you go to contact other families, let the children of each family sign up, I want the top 100 people who are still our family!" A fine light flashed in the eyes of the head of the Zhang family.

The staff member immediately took the order to go out.

Yingchuan.

"Chang'an Yang Xu, the imperial examination, interesting, I have a strategy, but no one appreciates it, and I just take this opportunity to go to Yongzhou to have a look!" A middle-aged man with a thin figure said to himself, then got up and packed his luggage.

And when the various princes heard what Yang Xu did, they had their own attitudes.

Yuan Shao's opinion: "Yang Xu is asking for his own death, if those peddlers and pawns can be officials, then the world is not chaotic!" ”

Cao Cao's opinion: "Yang Xu's method is very good, but it's a pity that my important ministers are all from the scholar clan, but they can't learn from it!" ”

Yuan Shu's opinion: "This Yang Xu is joking again, what kind of imperial examination, isn't that the enemy of the world's scholars?" ”

As soon as the scientific examination came out, the world shook, and students from poor families everywhere came to Chang'an.
