The newly recruited new officials were successfully brainwashed by Gongsun Ying's speech. It was not only these new officials who were brainwashed, but also the original twenty old officials, and even those who were moved by hearsay from other people's mouths also came to the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion to inquire or sign up. Gongsun Ying, who was giving a lecture on the first order to the new officials, had to stop often to receive those who were brought by high-ranking officials and dignitaries to inquire or sign up. However, Gongsun Martingale is not only not annoying, but also very happy to receive these people, and those who do not need to be received by Gongsun Martingale are even more. In just three days, more than 300 new officials who were hired after the assessment automatically came to sign up.

With these people who took the initiative to sign up to be officials, waiting in the square or on the street in front of the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion, there were countless Liyang city residents. Because Gongsun Marting's standing wood begged for faith, like a flood that broke the embankment, it flooded the whole Qin at once. Liyang City, which reacted the fastest, entered the water and landed first, and in just one day, Zuo Shuchang was a rich stupid official, and it spread all over the city. The next day. The streets of the Zuo Governor's Mansion and the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion were full of people. As soon as they saw Gongsun Marting's car going out, they followed behind, waiting for the good fortune of the beggar Jingle to befall them. In order to do the second jingle bell, this is not even afraid of the drive of the sergeants of the government. As soon as they were in a hurry, they dispersed, and if they didn't hurry, they surrounded them again.

At first, Gongsun Ying also let the soldiers drive them away, but after driving them many times, seeing that the more people were driven out, he stopped rushing, but thought that this was the beginning of the progress of the Qin people. With them following, doesn't it mean that the government's credit is growing? As a result, there was a spectacle in Liyang: behind the carriage of Zuo Shu Chang Marting, there was always a long line of city citizens, and in front of Zuo Shu Chang's mansion, there were always two groups of people clearly. On the left, there are fewer people who have come to sign up, and on the right, there are more people who are waiting for the big pie to fall from the sky.

The crowd in front of the Governor's Mansion was not driven away by the guards of the Governor's Mansion until ten days later. Because today, Duke Qin is going to come to the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion to personally participate in the assessment of the new officials.

The examination room for the appointment assessment of new officials is located in the square in front of the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion. As soon as the 500 public cases were placed, the huge square was filled with public cases at once. The stone steps of the gate of the government have been changed to the main examination platform. Seven big war drums are erected on the courtyard wall opposite the main examination platform, and each drum surface has a big word written on it, which is composed of: the new official position assessment field, which makes people look very imposing. Under the drum, there are fifty-one rows, a total of ten rows of examination cases.

When the hour comes. From the east and west sides of the square street, there were 300 swordsmen in shining armor each. As soon as they arrived, under the military order, the whole square was set up, and all the sergeants who had been waiting withdrew and withdrew to the streets at both ends, sealing off the whole street.

Two quarters in the hour. A drum sounded. After the drum sounded, five hundred new officials walked out of the gate opened in the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion. Under the command of the sergeant, they walked silently to the square, and then walked to the public desk in order, each of them sat down, took out bamboo slips and carving knives, and waited quietly.

Three quarters in the hour. The second drum sounded. After the drum sounded, nine officials walked out of the open door of the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion. Led by Tsukasa Zai Du Zhi, Zuo Shu Chang Martingale followed, came to the stone steps in front of the gate, stood in front of the mat that had been laid out a long time ago, and looked at the silent square. Gongsun Jia whispered to Gan Long: "Zuo Shuchang is really a wonderful idea! I'm looking forward to today's assessment. ”

Gan Long frowned slightly: "This is a change, right?" After all, no one has tried it before. I hope to be able to test some capable people. ”

Childe smiled and said, "I know it's late." Otherwise, I will send my slave to the examination. I'm really looking forward to what the Qin State will be like under the rule of slaves and prisoners? ”

Shaofu Ling, who was standing next to Gongzi Qian, said with a smile: "I don't care who is governing, just the Qin State under governance, and the public mansion is full." That can fill the treasury, and I will fully support it. O Crown Prince! It's too hard to live a poor life. ”

Childe was about to say something when he heard the third drum beat. After the drum sounded, a shout was heard: "Qin Guogong has arrived!" ”

With the shouting, the first three and the last three each three heavy cars surrounded the five-eaves canopy car of Qin Guogong, drove into the square, and stopped in front of the stone steps of the gate in the sound of "greeting the lord" of everyone. Qin Guogong, who was full of red light, wearing a seven crowns and black robes, greeted by the nine important ministers with a radiant look, got off the car and went straight to the stone steps, came to his chairman, and waved his hand: "Zhong Aiqing!" What are you waiting for? Let's go! ”

The chief eunuch immediately shouted: "Zuo Shu Chang Ying, the chief deacon of the law change, the new official appointment assessment, start!" Please speak, Tsukasama-sama! ”

After taking two steps forward, Tsukasa Zai Du Zhi spoke in a flat tone with an expressionless face: "The new officials participating in the assessment, you are related to whether the Qin State is strong or not. Qin Guogong hopes to find out Qiang Qin's talent from you and others. Therefore, the lord was present in person today and served as the chief examiner. The lord will give the top ten in the assessment and personally grant official positions, so as to inspire more people to devote themselves to changing the law and strengthening Qin. As the tomb of a country, I also lack a large number of capable officials in the house. Therefore, as long as capable officials can be selected in this assessment, they will become customized, and the officials of the Qin State will be selected from the assessment. I hope you will live up to your expectations and take the test! With that, he returned to his place.

Supervisor Jing of Zaifu followed and shouted: "Please announce the exam questions from Zuo Shu Changying!" ”

Gongsun Ying also took two steps forward, and announced loudly: "The question of this assessment is from Qin Guogong. Topic: How to judge good officials and capable officials. In order for all the candidates to hear clearly, he slowly read it out three times before stepping back.

Zaifu Jingjian preached loudly this time: "Please Qin Guogong, announce the start of the assessment!" ”

The audience threw their hands together and shouted: "Respectfully my lord!" ”

Qin Gong walked to the edge of the stone steps with a smile on his face, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Qin Guo has changed the law to become strong, the first new official appointment assessment, start now!" As Qin Gong's words settled, the audience rang out again: "Change the law to be strong, and the Qin State will win." "Three times in a row, the sound stops, and the scene is silent. A war drum rang out. In the sound of drums, the candidates rattled on the seats. In the sound of drums, Qin Gong and the nine chief examiners sat down.

After the drumming stopped, the audience was silent, and only the sound of knives slashing on bamboo slips could be heard when the candidates carved the slips.

A huge hourglass in front of the stone steps quietly remembers the passage of time. In the quicksand of the hourglass, five hundred candidates sat at their desks thinking and carving. From time to time, a candidate waved his hand, and someone immediately ran over, asked clearly, and left immediately, and after a while, he was sent what he wanted.

The time has not yet come. The drums of war are pounding. After the drumming stopped, a voice announced in a loud voice: "The evaluation of the new officials is over." Please line up in order to come to the main examination desk to hand in the Jane! After handing over the Jane, in order, return to the Zuo Governor's Mansion. ”

With the shouting, the five hundred candidates stood up from their seats after tying up the bamboo slips. After standing up and following the people in front, Yuguan walked out and came to the stone steps, where a long row of public records were placed, and the bamboo slips that condensed his own efforts were handed over to the collector. The chief examiner on the main examination platform waited until the last candidate walked into the gate of Zuo Shu's mansion before standing up from his seat. Qin Gong laughed and said, "Zhong Aiqing! You wait for the hard work! ”

The nine examiners followed: "The lord is hard! ”

Qin Gong waved his hand: "Such a big battle, such a prominent chief exam, the widow is very much looking forward to selecting talents!" All right. The widow is going to meet. You've been bothering too much! Then he turned and left. The crowd shouted, "Congratulations to the lord!" "Follow behind Qin Gong, send him to the canopy car, watch the car drive away from the stone steps, drive to the square, drive to the street, until you turn a corner and can't see, then put down your offering, turn around and walk into the Zuo Shu Chief's Mansion, and enter the house to rest.

The examination brief of 500 people will be read by the deputy examiner of 50 people first. Each deputy examiner sorts the shortened order after his own reading, and hands the first place to the chief examiner, who will hand it over to the nine chief examiners. The examiner then selects the top 10 from these 50 readings. Then the nine examiners will gather their respective selections and select the top 10 according to the number of votes. The other 450 copies were given to the deputy examiner, and according to the same rules, they were divided into 4 according to the same rules: 20 for A, 40 for B, 100 for C, and D for the others, and the new officials were awarded the posts according to the same order. However, the top 30 are officials, and the top 10 are supervisors.

It was a busy time, and it wasn't until three days later that the results came out. The chief examiner was only in charge of the top 30 officers, and among the top 30, only 6 were nobles, 10 were prisoners, and 14 were slaves and prisoners of war.

The nine examiners competed for the top three. The three parties to the controversy are: Gongsun Ying, Shaofu Ling, and Jingjian three people, who advocate taking according to their grades. Zong Zhengling, Gongsun Jia, and Gongzi Qian advocated taking the nobility. Du Zhi, Gan Long, and Shangfu Zhao Gong advocated balance, that is, the nobleman who originally scored fourth took the first, the slave who originally scored first took the second, and the noble prisoner who originally scored fifth took the third. The forces of the three parties were comparable, and in the end, the decision was returned to the Duke of Qin.

The Duke of Qin made up his mind the next day: the results remained the same, but the six nobles and Zuo Shu had to choose four as the main officials. According to the results, all candidates will be awarded the post of concubine in the D class, the middle concubine in the third class, and the concubine in the second class. The first class is an official, and he is awarded the new title of Qin State, and the twentieth class is a duke. The fourth to tenth places were awarded the 19th class. The top three were awarded the eighteenth class hairpin. The appointment and dismissal of specific positions are all handled by Zuo Shu Chang Ying alone.

As soon as the Qin Gong's order arrived, everyone's mission was completed, and they all said goodbye and left the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion. Gongsun Ying sang a sigh of relief and was busy with the use of these new officials. He decided to have a good talk with the first 30 officials who were waiting to be summoned, and strive to use them according to their talents. Thinking of this, he picked up the test slip and shouted: "The first place in the assessment, Su Dongyang comes in!" ”
