The blind man asked, "But wouldn't letting those people go back is equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain?" ”

Li Yao shook his head: "Their courage has been broken, and when the time comes, they will definitely tell what happened to them, no one in Yiguo knows about firearms, so as long as this news spreads, it will definitely make Yiguo's people panic!" ”

Li Yao looked at the blind man and didn't understand, and said with a smile: "I'm fighting psychological warfare, although we have advanced weapons, but firearms are not omnipotent, and there are still weaknesses in the face of the army, so I want to make them afraid, even when fighting, I have to keep them away from me!" ”

The blind man seemed to understand, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll let those people go now!" ”

The blind man was about to go out, and Li Yao said, "Call Su Feiguang!" I'm going to give him something! ”

The blind man nodded and said, "I'll call him right away!" ”

After arranging things for Su Feiguang, Su Feiguang went out.

Li Yao picked up the blank paper and thought about it, what questions should I ask? In fact, the imperial examination system has already appeared in the previous dynasty, but Li Yao doesn't want to use those questions, what Li Yao lacks now is how to manage the people in the county, so Li Yao is ready to start from here!

During the exam the next day, Li Yao deliberately asked a battalion of soldiers to guard this place, just to reflect the solemnity of this place.

Li Yao's army discipline is very good, all the soldiers are wearing armor, holding swords in their hands, standing in a military posture everywhere in the county office!

This has attracted the attention of many people, whether a unit is strong or not, discipline is an obvious manifestation, only good discipline, can win the battle!

In their hearts, they compared the army here with the original city guards, and found that the original city guards were really weak. It can be seen from the standing posture of these city guards that this army is definitely not simple!

Li Yao looked at the hour and rang the bell. said: "I will be the one to invigilate and mark the exam for this exam, I am the leader of this army, and I am also the leader of the three county towns, you can start answering the exam now, the time is only two hours!" ”

These people were surprised to hear that Li Yao was the leader of this army. I didn't expect this person to be so young!

There are more than 100 people in this exam, and there is only one question on the test paper, that is, how to govern a county well!

Scholars attach great importance to reputation, no one cheats in the two-hour exam, and no one talks to each other, maybe the invigilator is Li Yao, so they all want to leave a good impression on Li Yao, and everyone who answers the paper sits straight!

As Li Yao rang the bell for handing over the volume. Those people all stepped aside, and Li Yao said: "Tomorrow morning, everyone will come to see the red list, if your name is on the red list, you can proceed to the next item, don't be discouraged if you lose the list, there will be a chance next time!" ”

It is really difficult to read more than 100 volumes in one night, so Li Yao can only read them roughly. If you think it is in line, it will be marked in red. Stay!

After a rough screening, Li Yao selected more than 30 people who answered better, and Li Yao took the red paper and marked the names of these more than 30 people on the red list.

Of the more than 30 people, Li Yao didn't find anything particularly outstanding, isn't there even a single talent in the three counties of nearly 500,000 people?

The next day, Li Yao passed the interview with these more than 30 people and found that these people's talents could only be a petty official. If you want to be the three chief officials in the county, your strength is insufficient!

Li Yao sighed: "Could it be that his prestige is not enough? Can't get these talented people to vote? ”

Li Yao thought for a while: "The three northern counties will be their own rear in the future, so we must find talented people to manage it here!" ”

There's no way, Li Yao can only come to Corporal Lixian!

Get the blind man and ask his scouts to inquire about how many talented people there are in these three counties. reported it, and then made a special point that if there are people with prestige in the mouths of the people, talented people should pay more attention!

The blind scouts have been lurking in these counties for a long time, especially in the downtown area, so the amount of information received is particularly large.

Li Yao looked at the dozens of names on the paper, and couldn't help but have a headache, if it was a corporal Lixian, before he finished visiting them one by one, the road leading from Yi County to Beishan Village would be opened, so he said to the blind man: "Invite all these people over, I want to invite you to dinner tonight, remember, don't use force!" ”

The blind man nodded, and went down!

Looking at the back of the blind man who was far away, Li Yao sighed: "It seems that it is really not easy to recruit talents!" ”

Although Li Yao said that he was not allowed to use force, but the blind man went with the army, and the army was surrounded, if you didn't come, you had to come, and when it was evening, the people on Li Yao's list were basically here!

Li Yao asked everyone to sit down first, Li Yao raised his glass and said, "Thank you for giving me this face, I toast everyone!" ”

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Yao sighed: "I know how corrupt the chief officials of these three counties are and how difficult the lives of the people are, so I am very eager to change the life here, so I occupy here!" ”

After occupying this place, I did not disturb the people, I did not oppress the people, and in addition to that, I distributed food to the people every day! But in this way, I still think that I am not good at management, I want the people to live a good life, this is not enough for me alone, so I ask all these talented people to help me, as a help to your neighbors, let them live a good life!

Li Yao's words were full of righteousness, saying that these people would not have benevolence and righteousness if they did not serve themselves, one of the young scholars stood up and said: "General, I am Peng Yuanji, a talented person from Yu County, I heard the general's words, we are indeed deeply touched, although we really want to share the worries of the general, but we are only shallow in learning, and we are really more than enough and not enough!" ”

Li Yao looked at this Xiucai and said: "Since you are a Xiucai, you should have read the book of sages, I don't want you to reject me if you are a Xiucai of Yiguo, Mencius once said, 'The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light!'" I hope that you will change your prejudices and work only for the lives of the people, and not show your talents because of who rules here, otherwise your sages will be in vain!" ”

Peng Yuanji thought about it, owed a debt, and said: "I really didn't do a good job of this, what you said makes sense, the official who is the master of the people is a good official, if the general does not dislike it, I am willing to serve the general, but if I find that the general is not good to the people, I will leave you!" ”

Li Yao nodded solemnly and said, "I can assure you that I will definitely treat the people well!" ”

There are many local Confucians who participated in the banquet, and they all expressed their appreciation after listening to Li Yao's words, after all, water can carry boats and capsize boats, and only those who are kind to the people are suitable for being kings!
