People of any era have their own joys and sorrows, and today is the first year of Zhenguan, the sixth day of August.

Today is also a day that makes many young children in Youzhou City worried and uneasy.

Because today is the day when the urban management brigade releases the list.

It has been 12 days since the chengguan interview on July 26, and the announcement of the release of the list today has also been set very early.

Xu Yang was sitting in the meeting hall of the Liu family, drinking tea and chatting with Zhang Taishou.

"This time there is a big drought in Shandong, and the people are struggling to make a living, what is Xu Gongke's plan?" Zhang Zetian asked in a crimson round-necked official uniform.

Xu Yang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Don't worry about this Taishou, I received the news of the drought in Shandong more than ten days ago, and I have ordered someone to send the 100,000 pieces of grain I donated to the disaster area to help the victims." ”

Zhang Taishou originally figured out the problem of relief for the victims to see Xu Yang's personality, after all, he was such a young and talented man, and he also came up with the idea of marrying his daughter to Xu Yang.

But Zhang Taishou never expected that the young man in front of him would be so kind-hearted, he had already donated more than ten days ago, and he donated 100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan! What kind of concept is that, it's not ten, ten thousand, it's a whole hundred thousand, the richest businessman in Datang can't earn so much money in a year, but the young man in front of him donated it so lightly, Xu Yang, who originally looked inconspicuous, suddenly became extremely tall in Zhang Zetian's eyes.

Zhang Zetian gave a very solemn salute and said, "This official has thanked Duke Xu on behalf of all the fathers and villagers in Shandong. ”

"Hey~ Zhang is too polite, they are all sons and daughters of China, one side is in trouble, and all parties support it, and the relief of the victims itself is within the responsibility of those of us who are rich, so there is no need to salute." Xu Yang touched his head and said with some embarrassment.

Zhang Zetian still had a stern expression: "Xu Gong said, 'If one side is in trouble, all sides will support. 'It is really the words of a saint, and the officials bow to them. Then he clasped his hands into fists again and gave a big salute.

Xu Yang sometimes can't stand the ancient literati being so literary, but this is also the loveliness of the ancient literati

"That's right." Xu Yang suddenly remembered something and said, "The unveiling of our chengguan admission list is about to start, does Zhang Taishou want to come with me?" ”

"Great goodness."

Chen Xiaosheng stood at the notice board with anticipation on his face, his hand holding the glass piece that the judges had given him that day.

He got up early this morning, because today's list, he couldn't sleep with excitement all night last night, he has been studying for more than ten years, since he became a talent after the childhood examination at the age of sixteen, he has no achievements, and the township examination he participated in last year was ranked after the thousandth, which suddenly made Chen Xiaosheng a little disheartened about reading.

However, Shangcang gave Chen Xiaosheng a new opportunity, a few days ago when he and two brothers of the same clan went to the street, he accidentally found that Qian Yunyun was crowded with people in the most prosperous Datang International Hotel in Youzhou, he stepped forward to inquire, there was actually recruiting 'chengguan', a profession that he had never heard of, he didn't care much at the time, but as soon as he heard about the monthly money of chengguan, he and the two brothers of the same clan were moved.

Chen Xiaosheng's family declined, relying on dozens of acres of land at home to feed a large family, there used to be some maids and the like, and then because they couldn't pay the monthly money were dismissed, it can be said that Chen Xiaosheng has experienced the world since he was a child, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Chen Xiaosheng is still looking forward to living the original happy life, this time I heard that the monthly money is five, so he hurriedly stepped forward to sign up.

The result was beyond Chen Xiaosheng's expectations, this kind of selection mode that he had never seen before actually made himself too appreciative, he was still a little dizzy when he got out of the interview hall, the selection was over that day, and his two brothers of the same clan did not get any notice, but said that the list would be released after the twelfth day and wait for the notice, and when he was running, he was actually selected as a captain by making an exception, thinking about the envious eyes of the two fellow clansmen, Chen Xiaosheng was extremely happy, and the silver carved on the small glass piece of the 'captain of the second team of urban management' also made Chen Xiaosheng not tired of looking at it every day.

"Ahem!"

At this time, the two strangely dressed boys in front of the billboard attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, the bulletin board has been tightly enclosed, and there is a feeling that the imperial examination is released, Chen Xiaosheng clenched the piece of glass in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the billboard.

I saw the two strangely dressed guys pasting a particularly large piece of red paper on the bulletin board.

On the top of the big red paper, there are sixteen regular script characters neatly written: "List of recruits for the first phase of the Datang Youzhou Urban Management Brigade".

Chen Xiaosheng suddenly fixed his eyes and looked closely, only to see the first vertical line, and the third place really had his name written on it, Chen Xiaosheng was the captain of the second team of twenty-seven points.

This line of black characters suddenly made Chen Xiaosheng very excited, although he already knew the result, but he still couldn't help but tremble with excitement, since he was a child, he has never been very outstanding, like this kind of thousands of people in the competition to win the glory of 'Tanhua', Chen Xiaosheng is the first time in his life.

After he was happy, he looked at the top of the red paper again, and only then did he remember that there were two more people above him, and he hurriedly looked.

'Li Hu 33 Team Captain'

'Liu Yizhen 29 points and 3 team captains'

"Wow, it's amazing, especially this Li Hu, who can get a good score of thirty-three points." Chen Xiaosheng said secretly, and he also admired the two people in front of him very much.

Chen Xiaosheng then looked down.

'Liu Guang 26 points'

'Fang Rongheng 26 points'

'Zhang Qibin Twenty-five Points'

Chen Xiaosheng secretly said: "It's good that there is one more point than these two people, otherwise the captain of the second team may change hands." ”

Chen Xiaosheng was still looking at his name on the list in front of him complacently, he felt that he would not get tired of watching it for a long time, but there were too many people around him, more and more people squeezed him backwards, and in desperation, Chen Xiaosheng could only be squeezed out of the billboard, and more and more people flocked to the billboard to observe his results.

Some of these people looked up and laughed, some bowed their heads and sighed, some were ecstatic, and some were secretly sad.

It's noisy and noisy, and it's even more lively than the release of the imperial examination.

"I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar, I've done it, I hope the chengguan brigade won't let Fang down."

"Oops~ It's a pity, I don't have my name, alas, the monthly money is a full five!"

"Hey, isn't that my name? Liu Ergou has fifteen points, hehe, I can actually be on the list, hehe, the monthly money is five times, which is much more than farming. ”

"Lao Liu, my eldest child has been chosen, what about yours."

"Haha~ I didn't see the list above, this kid is amazing, and he made a list for his Lao Tzu, no wonder this kid often says what he wants to do at home, and he deserves to have the style of his Lao Tzu back then, hahahaha."

In front of the billboard where the list was released, there were constantly all kinds of joy and anger in the world.

This also made the two people drinking in the attic next to each other feel the world.

"Xu Gong's move is really a stroke of genius, which can allow many people to participate, and can enhance the martial arts style of my Tang people, which can be described as great wisdom." Zhang Taishou, who was sitting opposite Xu Yang, said with admiration.

Xu Yang is a little helpless, I'm just just recruiting people, you think too much. "Zhang is too good at keeping his reputation, there are still many deficiencies in this selection, I hope that all talents in Datang can have a stage to show their talents."

Zhang Taishou looked respectful, he couldn't imagine a lot of Xu Yang's thinking, but this did not prevent him from feeling that Xu Yang was worth entrusting.

"What does Gong Xu think of the little girl of this official." After five cups of tea, Zhang Taishou asked as if nothing had happened.

"Huh?" Xu Yang didn't understand a little.

"The little girl is six out of ten years old this year, and she is at the age of marriage." Zhang Taishou glanced at Xu Yang meaningfully.

Xu Yang was suddenly a little overwhelmed, you guys, all of you want to stuff your daughter to me, you are only sixteen years old, how ** do you have to be to do this, hey! This is the flower of the Motherland, okay?! Don't always marry people every day, Xiba!

But on the surface, Xu Yang still looked unfazed, and said: "Zhang Taishou, Ling Ai is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also knowledgeable, but the eldest husband is far away, and he has never had the idea of marrying, plus the custom that women in his hometown are married after the age of eighteen, so"

When Zhang Taishou heard this, he frowned, but then smiled again: "Haha, no problem, no problem, women who marry at the age of eighteen are not uncommon in my Tang Dynasty, as long as you are willing, you will not worry about your wife being ruthless." ”

Xu Yang was dumbfounded, Xiba, is this a forced purchase and forced sale?

Zhang Taishou saw that Xu Yang was in a daze, and said with a light smile: "Xu Gong, let's go, it's time to close the list and arrange the formation." ”

Xu Yang said "oh oh" twice, and walked downstairs with Zhang Taishou towards the high platform next to the bulletin board.
