"In addition to that, there are three more things!" Wang Chong glanced around, and said solemnly, "First, in view of the scarcity of talents in my Jinfan, I want to set up a Naxian Pavilion, whether it is a scholar or a martial artist, regardless of whether it is a noble or lowly background, meritocracy, as long as you have the ability, in my Jinfan, there will eventually be a place for you!" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "The lord is wise, as soon as this Naxian Pavilion is set up, many depressed and unambitious scholars of my Han Dynasty will flock to it!" ”

Liu Ye frowned and said, "I'm so afraid that it will open the family, right?" ”

Liu Ye was very worried, because Wang Chong's decision would greatly hurt the interests of the family, the Han Dynasty has always used the inspection system and the expropriation system, and most of the talents come from the recommendation of local officials, and the family has a great influence in the locality, so the officials above the seventh or eighth level of the Han Dynasty are from the family.

Now, Wang Chong coldly set up a Naxian Pavilion to make a meritocracy, which is almost to subvert the system of a dynasty, and it will inevitably be subject to great resistance during the period.

This is actually a multiple-choice question, if you want to get the support of the Hanmen, you will lose the support of the family, and between the two, the energy of the latter is undoubtedly greater, so in Liu Ye's opinion, Wang Chong has specially picked a more difficult path for himself.

"Liu Changshi's words are inappropriate!" Zhuge Jin retorted, "The lord just wants to recruit a group of talents to solve my Jinfan's urgent needs, not to change my Han system, so this matter is far less serious than Liu Changshi imagined." ”

"Don't drive, Zhuge doesn't seem to know enough about the lord." Liu Ye shook his head in disappointment, "The lord's move is just to ask for directions, if it is found to be feasible, it will definitely be vigorously promoted next, and even a new set of selection plans will be formulated." ”

A long time ago, Liu Ye knew that Wang Chong was not a peaceful person, many of his thinking was not the same as the way most people in this era thought, his control of the situation was amazing, and every step he took seemed to bury a far-reaching foreshadowing, so Liu Ye believed that Wang Chong's proposal to set up the Naxian Pavilion at this moment should be far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.

A flash of surprise flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, he didn't expect Liu Ye's insight to be so keen.

That's right, Wang Chong is indeed just paving the way in a way that everyone can reluctantly accept, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will implement the 'imperial examination system' in his territory, because only by blooming everywhere can a country maintain a long-term strong and prosperous life, Wang Chong just wants to weaken the power of the family step by step, otherwise even if he lays down the country, he will still be eroded and controlled by the more and more powerful family after a hundred years.

"Okay, this matter is decided for the time being, Ziyu, you will officially release the official document tomorrow!" Ignoring Zhuge Jin's suspicious gaze at him, Wang Chong waved his hand, obviously not wanting to dwell too much on this issue.

"No!" Seeing that Wang Chong faintly showed some signs of impatience, Zhuge Jin didn't dare to ask, and nodded in response.

Although Liu Ye is very smart, in Wang Chong's heart, he is far less pleasing than Zhuge Jin, because the latter can often grasp the right amount of proportion, knowing when to say and when not to say, what to ask and what not to ask, and never make people feel pressured to get along.

"Ziyu, those who are capable work hard, in addition to Tuntian, you also take care of the recruitment of craftsmen by the way, I believe that among the large number of displaced people outside, there should be not a few people with a skill."

Saying that, Wang Chong said to Liu Ye again: "Ziyang, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, I want to publicly execute Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Gan, and you will personally preside over this matter. ”

"No!"

Liu Ye knew very well that Wang Chong's purpose in doing this was nothing more than to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and the target was naturally those powerful families.

"Also, children under the age of ten only need to be executed in secret!" Wang Chonglin added again, after all, even the children are not let go in front of everyone, which will inevitably make people feel too unkind.

――――――――――

On the second day, Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Gan, a total of hundreds of people from the small family were collectively escorted to Chaoxian County Caishikou for execution, the onlookers almost blocked the road and blocked the water, when the hundreds of heads fell together, the scene actually sounded deafening cheers, which shows how unpopular Zheng Bao and the three of them were in Chaohu Lake in the past.

After arranging everything properly, Wang Chong was not able to be idle, because with Zhu Chun and Liu Ye leading the troops to Liyang, the more than 10,000 soldiers in Chao County were no longer under their command.

Wang Chong could only personally pick up this burden, and even the work of selecting the soldiers of the Iron Guard Battalion was easily taken over from Zhou Hu, mainly because Zhou Hu's conditions for selecting the soldiers were really flattering, and he only looked at the person's figure, and he tried his best to pick the strong, and the rest were ignored, and Wang Chong was also drunk.

Whether a soldier can become an elite or not, and his body shape is actually not half a dime, the most important thing is to depend on the perseverance of the person, after all, a person's physical endurance and so on can be strengthened through acquired training, but perseverance is innate, if your willpower is not firm enough, even if your physical fitness is good, future achievements are not destined to be high.

There is no shortage of talented people in this era, but why are there only so many who have become top generals? Because they have never slackened, they have always insisted on strengthening and refining their martial arts.

For example, it's like Dian Wei and Hu Che'er, both of them are born with divine powers, but why is there such a huge gap between them? Is it because Dian Wei is smarter than Hu Che'er? Not necessarily, right? Hu Che'er can easily get Dian Wei drunk and steal his double halberd, this brain is obviously better than Dian Wei.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, the only difference between Dian Wei and Hu Che'er is that Dian Wei is more diligent, hard-working, and focused than Hu Che'er.

Therefore, when Wang Chong selected the soldiers of the Iron Guard Battalion, he chose an extremely simple way that can test a person's physical strength, endurance, perseverance and other qualities at the same time, that is, running with weights.

Five laps around the city, no matter the length of time, as long as you can persist in running to the finish line, you can join the reserve battalion, and then train collectively for a period of time, and choose the best one to become a standing soldier of the Iron Guard Battalion.

Wang Chong thought to himself, when more than 10,000 soldiers ran around the city with a load, it would inevitably cause a sensation in Chao County, in that case, why not simply make the scale bigger?

So, Wang Chong issued an order, that is, this Iron Guard Battalion selection activity, not only for Jinfan soldiers, but also open to all Chaohu people, as long as you can pass the test to become a standing soldier of the Iron Guard Battalion, not only can you get twice as much as ordinary soldiers, but you can also enjoy the best food in the army, and even the pension after the death in the battle is much more than that of ordinary soldiers.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Chaohu area, and countless people who wanted to sign up for it rushed to Chaoxian County from all over the country, and even among the hungry homeless people outside the city, there were not a few people who participated in it with a fluke mentality.
