Huang Yueying's words reached Zhang Lang's heart, and nodded, "This is natural, we must let our policies benefit the vast majority of the people, only in this way will the people support us." After a pause, "In order to cooperate with this policy, I will carry out a comprehensive reform of the selection and employment system, and a military academy in the city will be set up only for soldiers, and the necessary training will be provided to retired disabled servicemen and veterans, so that they can go to various places to take up posts and manage civil affairs." Military personnel have absolute priority in government positions. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was buzzing and buzzing, and the civil officials led by Cai Yong felt difficult to adapt, Cai Yong frowned and said: "Such a change is too heavy!" Never before! ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Any new thing is naturally unprecedented!" Before the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, the situation of the Qin State was very bad, and no one would have thought that the Shang Dynasty Reform Law could change the Qin State so profoundly, so that the Qin State would become an absolute force that unified the world! ”

Cai Yong hugged his fists and said: "What the lord said is very true, but do his subordinates think that they should also take into account the interests of scholars?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "This is natural, while selecting civil affairs talents from the army, the imperial examination system is implemented, all scholars, regardless of birth, can come to take the exam, and those who are excellent can be hired immediately!" ”

Cai Yong smiled and nodded.

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "I have already planned to hold the first imperial examination in Luoyang in three months. Scholar, you'll be in charge of this. ”

Cai Yong clenched his fists and agreed, and then asked, "What ...... the exam questions?" ”

Zhang Lang said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll just take the question on the day of the exam." "No."

The news about the imperial examination spread all over the country in a very short time, even Cao Cao and Sun Jian heard about it, and the scholars scoffed at Zhang Lang's approach, and some even wrote poems to satirize Zhang Lang. In Zhang Lang's ruling area, the scholars also sneered at the imperial examination, although they didn't dare to do anything in public, but they were connected in private and didn't go to the exam. They thought this was giving Zhang Lang a dismount.

That night, Zhang Lang looked at the report he had just received in the study, sneering. Putting down the report, Huang Yueying, who was standing next to her in a sauce-colored dress, said with a smile: "Those scholars want to give me a dismount!" ”

Huang Yueying frowned and asked, "They don't plan to take the exam?" ”

Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside the window and smiled: "They privately agreed in tandem not to participate in the imperial examination!" Hehe, I thought it was to give me a dismount, but in fact, I gave up their last chance! ”

Huang Yueying shook her head and sighed, "The times have changed, but they are still ignorant, but they don't know that if they don't change when the world changes drastically, the end will be very miserable!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and turned around, "There is a new situation, although the scholar clan has formed a boycott of this exam, the merchant class is very enthusiastic, and even some merchants in the area ruled by Cao Cao and Sun Jian have secretly sent their children to participate in the exam!" ”

Huang Yueying pondered: "They are here to test the waters!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "That's true!" With a thoughtful look on his face, "Yueying, the number of people who came to the test this time may not be very large, but the personnel must be very complicated, you go and arrange their food and accommodation, and at the same time see what they think and what they say." "No." glanced at Zhang Lang, "Big brother, it's getting late, I'm leaving." ”

Zhang Lang turned around, walked up to Huang Yueying, took her hands, and smiled teasingly: "It's getting late, why don't we go to bed?" Huang Yueying was embarrassed, her beautiful face turned red, she glanced at Zhang Lang, withdrew her hand, and trotted away. Zhang Lang looked at her graceful back and smiled, his heart was itching. Back behind his desk, he sat down, in a very good mood, whistling as he flipped through the other reports.

There is still a month before the exam, but the city of Luoyang is bustling early, and the students who come from all over the country to take the exam are crowded with hotels. Every day from morning to night, the voices of the scholars are always deliberately seen in the teahouse restaurant, and every time I see them, they are enthusiastically discussing the facts of the day and putting forward their own ideas, and the atmosphere is very warm.

"Big brother, according to the latest report, as of yesterday, a total of 6,733 people have come to Luoyang to take the exam." Huang Yueying reported to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang was very surprised: "So many?! ”

Huang Yueying nodded excitedly, "According to the current momentum, on the day of the exam, the total number of people will only exceed 10,000!" I didn't expect there to be so many people in the world? ”

Zhang Lang smiled, "It's wrong, it's just people from our states." ”

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, "Big brother doesn't know, right?" In fact, there are at least more than one-third of the candidates from the areas ruled by Cao Cao and Sun Jian! ”

Zhang Lang was a little surprised: "Some people are normal, how can they fool so many people?" ”

Huang Yueying pondered: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Although Cao Cao and Sun Jian both said that they would not stick to one pattern to recruit talents, due to their close relationship with the local scholars, all positions from the state to the county were basically held by the major scholars, and they let the excellent places in their clans fill official positions in various places, and basically these people recommended talents to their lords. Those who are not considered to be their own people, even if they are talented, it is difficult to have a chance to stand out! Now that the imperial examination held by the eldest brother has given everyone a fair stage regardless of their status, those who are difficult to get ahead will naturally flock to it! ”

Zhang Lang laughed, "Okay! It's best to have more people! ”

Huang Yueying smiled slightly. Curiously asked, "I wonder if the eldest brother's topic is listed?" ”

Zhang Lang said: "I haven't thought about the specifics, but the general idea has been thought out!" There are three questions, the first question tests strategy, which mainly examines the candidate's strategic ability to grasp the major national policies; The second and third questions rely on specific governance, one tests the candidate's ability to govern in the position of assassin history, and the other tests the candidate's ability to govern in the position of the county. That's probably all there is to it. Glancing at Huang Yueying, "Yueying, you think about it, do you have anything else that I haven't considered?" ”

Huang Yueying pondered for a moment, and hummed softly in her red lips, "Big brother has been very thoughtful. It just seems to have overlooked one point. ”

"Oh? Which point? ”

Huang Yueying smiled: "Many people's talents are not reflected in military and internal affairs, some people are good at agriculture, some people are good at water conservancy, and some people are good at manufacturing various equipment, etc., don't these people want it?" ”
