As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, Wang Pu left Jingzhou with a few sets of Wei stele Buddhist scriptures printed from the grottoes of the Queen Mother's Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is not interested in the scriptures, but has a soft spot for the Wei tablet font, and the same is true for Feng Qianhou, since that day he came back from the Queen Mother's Palace, he has lived in a simple place, concentrating on imitating and practicing the Wei tablet style, and even does not care about political affairs.

Zhang Yue is difficult to understand this, isn't it just a brush font, and it is still a brush word after practicing thousands of patterns. Because practice is time-consuming and laborious, difficult to popularize, and inefficient in writing, it will eventually be eliminated, and only remain as a symbol of ancient culture, or artistic font decoration, and withdraw from the official mainstream.

Zhang Yue's own calligraphy has been practiced in the past few years to adapt to the officialdom, and he can only write in regular script and in line calligraphy, barely making do. Feng Qianhou was obsessed with practicing words and playing tricks, on the third day of the new year, the office was opened and a sacrifice was held, Zhang Yue had no choice but to come by himself, after the sacrifice was completed, the officials of the government congratulated one after another, and then cleaned the official room to prepare for the new year's affairs.

On the first day, according to normal circumstances, the subordinates usually only came to show up and went home, but Zhang Yue had something to tell and arranged three things. Li Duoshou, the secretary of the fate of the festival, went to the Yongxing Military Mansion to receive grain and grass, went to Lingzhou to transfer to Ulantunji, and sent a letter back to Tokyo to Bian Ji by the way.

Under the rule of Xingwen, the five states were reorganized for military warfare, and Shi Chenghong, the capital of Sima and the Ya army, and Liu Wenbo, the deputy capital, began to reorganize the Ya army and the town army, and began to eliminate the old and weak, and recruited new soldiers to join the army to strengthen training. If the weapon needs to be replaced, it can be applied for by the government office. In order to ensure that these things can be implemented, Zhang Yue plans to inspect and inspect the soldiers of various states.

Finally, there is a very important thing, Zhang Yue personally wrote a notice to hold a township test in advance, and ordered his soldiers to post it outside the major districts in the city, the east and west cities, and the four city gates.

The general meaning of this notice is: in order to expand and repair the Jingzhou Academy, strengthen the teaching staff, and at the same time recruit staff for the state governance and the Jiedu government, it is specific to open a department in the state school on the tenth day of the first month, and those who are familiar with various subjects such as scriptures, current affairs, arithmetic, economics, systems, military, law, and salt politics are preferred. Scholars from all states under the rule of Jingyuan Jiedu, regardless of their noble or poor families, can come to take the exam.

In this era, the imperial examination system was based on the Tang system, which was divided into shengtu and xianggong, all of whom needed to pass the township examination qualifications before they could enter Beijing to take the examination. The apprentice is a student enrolled in the state school, and the township tribute is a good score in the township examination, and he is escorted by the state and county to Beijing to participate in the Ministry of Rites examination. It is held once a year in winter and once in the following spring. There is also the system, which is held by the court from time to time according to the needs of the court.

Since the Five Dynasties, there have been many types of subjects in the Tang Dynasty, and now only the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi are often examined, and very important knowledge such as Ming characters, Ming Law, and Ming Calculation are not taken seriously.

As soon as this order came out, the whole city was disturbed on the same day, and the scholars rushed to tell each other, inquired about the authenticity of the news, and called friends to prepare for the exam. And as the person who gave the order, Zhang Yue must also prepare.

For this reason, on the afternoon of that day, Zhang Yue specially sent people to invite Du Changxing, the governor of the state and the envoy of the state and the envoy of the state and the degree of support, Hao Shouren, the observer judge and the tax envoy, and Fuchen, the military emperor of the military service, to the government to discuss the examination questions and venue layout prepared by the township examination.

"When Zhang first took office, there are still many unclear points about the imperial examination questions, and he may be prepared before the tenth year of junior high school?" After the three of them finished saluting, Zhang Yue waved his hand and invited the three of them to take a seat.

"This is too urgent, in previous years, the township test was held in March, but now the Lantern Festival has not passed, and the officials have not returned to the office, I'm afraid I can't be busy!" Du Changxing is in his forties, with a big belly, and he looks a little brainy.

"The notice has been issued, and it must be done if you are too busy!" Zhang Yue made a final decision, but he didn't give them a chance to delay, and turned his head to look at the first fifty-year-old man and asked, "Huangfu joined the army and the Science Museum, should be familiar with this aspect of affairs, right?" ”

"Back to the envoy! Due to lack of funds, the school hall fell into disrepair, and there were only two teachers and twenty-three students, all of whom were children of the big clans in the state. If the exam is going to be held on the tenth day of the first month, the Jiedu Mansion will transfer some people to the school to assist, and the test questions will be as simple and fast as possible, which is barely feasible. Huang Fuchen nodded, indicating that he could catch up.

"Excellent! Then this township test will be handed over to Huangfu to join the army to preside, and I will send the feudal judge and the cattle pusher to supervise, and the soldiers who need to guard the site can go with my warrant. In addition, the case in Yancang Town should be investigated and concluded by the state government as soon as possible. Zhang Yue quickly decided, and then discussed the relevant test questions with the three of them, and sent the three of them away.

The weather was still very cold in early spring, Zhang Yue looked through the official documents in the yatang, recorded some memos by the way, and went back to the back house, pulled Feng Qianhou out of the house, and asked him to prepare for the township test and the daily affairs of the Jiedu Mansion.

When it comes to the use of troops against Liangzhou, he thinks that it should be in mid to late February, because at this time the snow on the road has not completely melted, and transporting grain is a big trouble. Feng Qianhou suggested that Hou Zhang should be asked to go to Guanzhong to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and negotiate with Wang Jing of Shuofang to transfer Shuofang's elite soldiers to participate in the war as much as possible.

Zhang Yue thought about it, so he found Yang Xuanli and asked him to take his letter to Wulan County and hand it over to Hou Zhang. and informed Xuan Chongwen to prepare his troops for the battle, and pay attention to the movements of the Liangzhou Zhe clan.

By the fifth day of the first lunar month, the soldiers of the Ya Army and the Town Army received a call order, and under the leadership of officers at all levels, they were successively returned to the camp with weapons, and the whole training work began.

As soon as the soldiers returned to the battalion, this was to consume a lot of grain and grass, Zhang Yue took Xi Qingping, Shi Chenghong, and Liu Wenbo to inspect the granary, and found that there was only two months of grain stored in the Ya Army. This is used for the daily expenses of the tooth army, and if the town army also returns to the camp, it will be doubled, that is, only two armies for a month.

Because the town army is not in wartime, they all farm at home, and they are not resident in the state city. But now it had to be called all intolerable, which meant that the army would be without food for several months before the summer harvest in May and June. The grain transportation in Guanzhong was to be used for warfare, and it was impossible to fill the deficit in Jingzhou.

"What's going on? Is there so little food in stock? Zhang Yue looked at the grain account book, his face was very ugly, and he asked angrily.

"Envoy! In previous years, too, the states raised their own grain and grass, and there was no problem in supporting the Ya army in the four counties under the rule of Jingzhou, but it would be a little difficult to add the town army. I don't understand why Zhang Yue is so angry, Liu Wenbo explained in surprise.

"What if there is not enough food and grass?" Zhang Yue didn't understand how Zhang Duo raised soldiers in the past, and he was very unsuitable for the behavior of the official office.

Liu Wenbo looked at Xi Qingping and Liu Wenchang, and said a little strangely: "The envoy can order the counties to increase the grain tax, and also summon the heads of the big clans in this state to come to the government to discuss, and everyone will discuss it!" ”

"Discuss? I understand! Zhang Yue suddenly realized that the dignified and handsome man actually wanted to put down the shelf and ask the wealthy families in the state to share the grain, and he knew with his feet what extent the land annexation of the states under Jingyuan's rule had reached.
