"What's a good idea for Bonghyo?" Cao Cao said excitedly.

"Liu Xun wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and we are rumored everywhere among the princes, saying that he is plotting against him, vainly trying to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, and calling on the princes to be the king", Guo Jiahe revealed his own plan.

"This strategy makes Liu Xun steal chickens and rice, but becomes the target of public criticism, which is indeed a good plan," Cao Cao said.

"Let's withdraw our troops back to Yanzhou, and spread the news that Liu Xun wants to abolish the emperor and stand on his own feet along the way, so that he can't guard against it. When the time comes, even if those princes don't trouble him, those princes and ministers in Luoyang, and the big families will make him uncomfortable", Cao Cao said with a smile, and was in a good mood for a while.

Cao Cao's army withdrew from Luoyang, and the first round of the battle ended with Liu Xun's temporary victory.

Liu Xun began to plan how to consolidate his rule in Luoyang, after all, the roots of the family in this place are relatively deep.

The first thing was that Liu Xun built a small city half a mile away from Luoyang and moved Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials there.

Liu Xun had his reasons for doing this, but what he didn't expect was that this matter had become the excuse for Cao Cao and others to attack him.

In the mouths of those who opposed Liu Xun, this matter became the fact that he had imprisoned Emperor Xian of Han.

After the deliberate rendering of people with good intentions, the news of Liu Xun's intention to usurp the throne and stand on his own side spread at an extremely fast speed.

Liu Xun was still unconscious at this time, because his mind was not on this.

Although he knew these rumors, he was proud of his strength and did not take those opposition parties seriously, which is the vigor of youth.

He wholeheartedly tried to restore production in Luoyang and restore its former prosperity.

The second thing is to implement tuntian in the army, to achieve self-sufficiency as much as possible, and to reduce the burden on the people.

At the same time, a proclamation was issued to allow the exiled people to return to their homes.

The war caused a lot of land to be barren, and land without owners was everywhere, and Liu Xun's idea was to rest with the people and let the people return to the land.

This era does not value industry and commerce, and despises invention and creation.

Liu Xun knew very well that the role of industry and commerce was huge, and businessmen promoted the circulation of commodities, which played a great role in the prosperity of the economy.

Changing the original practice of those princes setting up cards everywhere to embarrass the merchants, Liu Xun gave the merchants the green light all the way, allowing them to travel freely between Luoyang and other prefectures and counties.

The tables, chairs and beds promoted by Liu Xun when he was in Yizhou became popular among the upper class at this time.

Under the inspiration, he cooperated with the Zhuo family and set up a workshop to produce tables, chairs and beds, and used the caravan of the Zhuo family to transport these things to the territories of the major princes to sell them, and earn profits to buy grain, horses, and iron tools.

Third, the establishment of the imperial examination system to select talents for the country.

The imperial examination system, which originally began to appear in the Sui Dynasty, was brought to this era by Liu Xun in advance.

The imperial examination system in feudal society cultivated a group of corrupt Confucians, emphasizing social sciences over natural sciences. It is not always possible to select truly talented talents, and in view of this, Liu Xun decided to change the status quo.

The subjects of the imperial examination are four subjects: literature, governance, military affairs, and science, and the examiners can take the examination regardless of their rank, as long as they think they are talented and learned.

The four subjects can be selected in a single subject or multiple choices, and the settings are flexible.

The purpose of setting up a literature course is to attract readers, who may not have much role in governing the country and fighting wars, but they are indispensable for singing praises for themselves and building momentum for themselves politically.

The purpose of setting up the first section of statecraft is mainly to select talents for governing the country, and at present, it is mainly to find strategists.

The first military department is mainly to select military generals, inspect horseback archery, and dance knives and sticks.

Science is a subject that mainly examines mathematical knowledge, and those who have inventions and creations can be hired directly, and those who work as long as they have a skill can take the exam.

When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and since ancient times, this way of selecting talents has not been seen.

For a time, Liu Xun became the focus of public opinion, and his deeds and legends were spread more and more by people.

This is an era when the scholar clan is dominant, and the ordinary Hanmen Shu clan has no chance to stand out at all.

Not to mention those who go to the square, stonemasons and carpenters, they are all regarded as lowly people, but now it is good, they can actually participate in the imperial examination, and if they pass the examination, they can also become officials.

Three months later, the imperial examination began, and the examination room was crowded with people.

A man named Ma Jun first entered Liu Xun's sight, and this person saw that there were 50 shoes (foot control board) for the 50 warp threads of the loom at that time, and 60 shoes for the 60 warp threads, so he changed the loom to 12 shoes, which greatly improved the efficiency.

Good guy, this has greatly improved the efficiency of weaving, Liu Xun waved his pen and pointed Ma Jun as the scientific champion.

Pleasantly surprised, a candidate named Pang Tong, wrote the policy of governing the country in a good way, which was simply brilliant.

This can be called Liu Xun's surprise, this Pang Tong, but the guy with Zhuge Liang's name, known as the top strategist of "Feng Xiao".

It seems that this Pang Tong is to test whether he has the insight to know people. Maybe he didn't meet Huaicai, and at this time his reputation was not obvious, and he was not reused by other princes, so he came to try his luck.

I heard that this Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan looks ugly, and he has a hard time with Zhang Song, maybe those princes don't like him very much when they see his appearance.

Needless to say, Pang Tong was appointed by Liu Xun as the champion of governing the country.

What's even more surprising is still to come, when taking the martial arts test, the word Lu Qiling appeared in front of Liu Xun's eyes.

This Lu Qiling, isn't she the one who is playing in the water with herself?

Liu Xun decided to go and take a look in person, and sure enough, on the martial arts field, a figure dressed as a man was constantly beating, who else could there be if it wasn't Lu Qiling?

The family legend is that the Eight Desolations and Six Halberds are used, and none of the candidates in the field are invincible, so naturally, Lu Qiling has become the military champion.

When studying literature, a man named Chen Lin stood out, who had been famous for a long time and was one of the most famous literati in the late Han Dynasty.

The most famous literati in the late Han Dynasty were the "Three Cao Seven Sons", of which the Three Cao refers to Cao Cao's father and son, and the Seven Sons refer to Kong Rong, Chen Lin, Wang Cang, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, Liu Zhen and other seven people.

With a top literati like Chen Lin joining, there is no need to be afraid of arguing with opponents in the future.

Naturally, Chen Lin became a literary champion.

In addition to the champions, there are also Bangyan, Tanhua and other Jinshi and many people, so I won't repeat them here.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that a person named Hua Tuo, with superb medical skills, was named by Liu Xun as a scientific leader.

Hua Tuo changed the fate of being killed by Cao Cao.

finally waited until the day of the list, and the students waited eagerly for it one by one, seeing that they were complacent on the list, and Sun Shan's chest beating was stamped, and a tragicomedy was staged.

The four champions were all dressed in red and hung with colors, and the horses in fresh clothes were angry, and they paraded in Luoyang City, attracting countless onlookers.

Especially that Ma Jun, who was originally a well-known craftsman, many people in Luoyang City knew him.

This time, the black chicken turned into a phoenix, and the people who knew him were constantly "tsk", envious, jealous and hateful, and it was difficult to describe it.

Ma Jun's success has shown the lower classes of people another way to success.

Afterwards, Liu Xun met with those who were admitted, hired them according to their talents, and entrusted them with official positions.

He has a long-term plan and is ready to set up an academy to train talents for the country in the long term.

After thinking about it for a long time, the college was established and divided into two parts, one part is called the East Window Academy, and the other part is called the Candle Cutting Academy.

Many of the officials admitted to the imperial examination this time were appointed as doctors of the academy, Liu Xun was appointed as the dean of the East Window Candle Cutting Academy, Chen Lin was appointed as the vice president of the East Window Academy, and Ma Jun was appointed as the vice president of the Candle Cutting Academy.

In the future, the talents cultivated by the two academies are all Liu Xun's protégés.

In this way, he held these talents firmly in his own hands.

After a long talk with Pang Tongyi, Liu Xun deeply felt that this person's talent was not under Jia Xu, and immediately appointed him as the left army division and Jia Xu as the right army division.

After everything was ready, Liu Xun summoned Lu Qiling alone, held her petite jade hand, felt the heat coming from her palm, and said a thousand words, not knowing how to speak.

After the dragon and the water playing, the competition, and the red bean flirtation, the hearts of the two got closer, and everything was silent.

"Ling'er, didn't you listen to what I warned you back then, at the beginning of the siege, your father and daughter should have come to me. During this time, I thought about you so hard, I came to Luoyang for you", Liu Xun said emotionally.

"I tried to persuade my father, but he wouldn't listen. A proud person like him really doesn't want to go to a young man who is only about twenty years old," Lu Qiling sighed, tears welling up in her eyes.

It's hard to look back on the past.

"Where have you been during this time, and where is your father?" Liu Xun said with concern.

"After the first battle, my father and I were separated, and I have lost his whereabouts ever since. In desperation, I led some of my father's people to immediately fall into the grass. Last month, I went down the mountain to rob, I heard that the new Wuwei general Liu Xun opened the imperial examination, I was curious, I don't know if it's you, and for a while, I told my subordinates to look at the cottage, so I came to take a look. ”

"I didn't expect to see you again, but unexpectedly, I also won a martial champion", Lu Qiling was overwhelmed.

"You probably wouldn't have imagined that your father's old subordinates Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wang Kai and others are all in my army, and that Wang Kai kept saying that if he found your father, he would go back to him", Liu Xundao.

"I'm going to go back and recruit the old ministry and let them come down the mountain to vote."

"Okay, let's go with our husband and wife."

"Phew, whoever sings with your husband is not ashamed", Lu Qiling took a sip, her face was shy, but her heart was beautiful.

"After you came, I had an idea, let's just set up a women's army, led by you, what do you think?" Liu Xundao hugged Lu Qiling coldly and kissed her on the forehead.

Lu Qiling pretended to struggle for a while, and let Liu Xun hold her in her arms.

After saving for a while, Liu Xun gave an explanation to his subordinates, and took Lu Qiling to recruit all her father's old troops who had fallen grass on the mountain.

Lu Qiling was dressed in women's clothes, and when she walked into the conference hall with Liu Xun, she only felt that the bright light was compelling, and everyone's eyes were all straight all of a sudden.

Those generals who were defeated by her in the competition and joined in the new can't help but be ashamed when they think that they were defeated by a woman.
