Jia Xu smiled and asked, "I wonder if it is feasible for the lord to think that the subordinate building is feasible?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded: "Not bad." Glancing at Jia Xu, "Immediately spread the word to all prefectures and counties, and put forward a notice that bandits from all over the country, as long as they are willing to abandon evil and follow good, will not be blamed except for those who have great evil, and each person will be given five acres of arable land by the local government, and the houses will also be built at the expense of the local government." The time limit is three months, and those who are overdue will not be lenient, and a large army will be sent to exterminate them! I hope they take care of themselves and don't miss their last chance! ”

Jia Xu clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates have written it down." If the lord has no other orders, his subordinates will retire! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "You go." Jia Xu saluted Zhang Lang and retreated.

……

In the morning, the sun rises in the east, the sky and the earth are bright, and the branches and leaves of the green trees and weeds are covered with dewdrops, reflecting the morning light, a crystal scene. The streets of Chang'an gradually became lively, the shops opened one by one, the hawkers gathered on both sides of the street one after another, the cries of selling gradually increased, the originally silent streets gradually became noisy, and there were more and more pedestrians on the streets, young people, old people, women, men, everyone had a smile on their faces.

Those students who came to Chang'an to take the exam gathered in front of the General's Mansion and waited eagerly, today is the day when the General's Mansion will release the results. Some people were nervous, others prayed silently.

When the sun rose over the treetops, the gate of the General's Mansion opened, and Jia Xu walked out under the escort of two tiger guards. Everyone's eyes immediately converged on him, and the scene was in an uproar.

Jia Xu hung the list on the notice board next to the General's Mansion, spread it out, turned around and raised his voice to the students: "The first twenty-four people are here, you students can come and watch!" ”

All the students rushed forward and were stopped by the guards, and everyone's eyes fell on the small list, and someone read: "First place, Xiangyang Ma Liang, the head of the Feng State Department, is the same as the assassin Shi ...... "Wow...... There was a voice of amazement and envy at the scene.

"What is this 'Ministry of State'?" A student asked, puzzled.

A student next to him glanced at him with disdain, and said as if he was ostentatious: "You don't know this? The Ministry of State Affairs is the department responsible for the management of government industries under the command of the general, and its power is extremely great! Immediately there was an exclamation of exclamation.

Some students continued to study, and none of the twenty-three after Ma Liang were ranked, and they were all awarded the Taishou, the deputy of the Taishou, and officials of the equivalent level. Those on the list were ecstatic, knelt down on the spot and thanked the heavens, thanked the general, and the unknown on the list couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Jia Xu raised his voice and said, "Everyone......"

The scene immediately fell silent and looked at Jia Xu. A plainly dressed student from a humble family stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the twenty-four people on the list deserve their name, and we are so convinced, but although we people are not as good as them, we also have some ability to ask ourselves, and we are still capable of governing the countryside and persuading farmers and mulberries, is the general unwilling to use us?" All the students echoed, and the scene was noisy.

Jia Xu raised his hands, and the scene was quiet again. Jia Xu said: "What this student said just now is exactly what the general thinks, so the general has arrangements for the students who enter the final election, and those who are willing to obey the arrangement can immediately report to the Assassin's Mansion, and we will arrange positions according to your strengths." ”

When all the students heard this, they all cheered excitedly, for these poor students, Jia Xu's words and martial arts changed their fate.

……

Ma Liang didn't go to the list with others, he felt that it was better to look at the things of fame and fortune a little lightly, and sat alone in the restaurant and drank a little wine. This Ma Liang is very tall, relatively thin, delicate, and looks very quiet, the most eye-catching thing is that his eyebrows are actually white, so there will be a nursery rhyme in Xiangyang: The Ma family is five constants, and the white eyebrows are the best.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the stairs, and several poor students hurriedly ran upstairs, and as soon as they came up, they looked around, and when they saw Ma Liang, they were all happy, and they hurriedly ran over. One of them clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Congratulations to Brother Ma Liang!" You're at the top of high school! Several others chimed in.

Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the poor students, and asked in disbelief, "I'm in high school!?" He was indeed surprised, because he thought that even if his article was unbeatable, it would be difficult for him to go to high school, because he was a member of the Ma family of the Xiangyang Shi clan, and judging from Lu Bu's treatment of the Shi clan during this time, it should be unlikely that the students of the Shi clan would go to high school! Ma Liang knew this, and the reason why he still came to take the exam was to admire what Lu Bu had done during this period of time in the hope that he could serve his subordinates, and secondly, to see how his knowledge was and whether he could compete with other talents?

A poor student hurriedly said: "The list has been posted, Brother Ma Liang is at the top of the list, and he has been awarded the title of the head of the State Ministry and the history of assassination, and Brother Ma Liang's name has spread all over Chang'an at this moment!" ”

Ma Liang was stunned for a while, then quickly stood up and ran downstairs. Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly shouted: "You haven't paid yet, guest officer!" A student immediately took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into Xiao Er, and shouted: "Don't look for it." So he chased him downstairs with the others.

Ma Liang hurriedly rushed to the door of the General's Mansion, at this time there were still many students crowded in front of the billboard, and when they saw Ma Liang coming, they saluted him one after another, and the voices of congratulations came one after another. Ma Liang hugged his fists at everyone, ran to the billboard, stared wide-eyed, and sure enough, he saw his name listed in the first place, "First place, Ma Liang, was awarded the title of director of the State Department, and he was the same as the history of assassination." Ma Liang was very excited, and then muttered: "It seems that I still underestimated the general!" ”

A student came over and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Ma Liang, hurry up and go to the General's Mansion to meet the General!" The other twenty-three people are already inside! ”

Ma Liang came back to his senses, thanked the student, and hurriedly rushed into the general's mansion.

……

Zhang Lang sat in the attic in the backyard, gently hugging Yan Yuyao, smiling and enjoying the dance of Diao Chan and the Li sisters.

Yan Yuyao glanced at Zhang Lang and asked curiously, "Big brother seems to be very happy?" ”

Zhang Lang looked at Yan Yuyao and smiled, "I talked with Ma Liang and them for a long time just now, these twenty-four people are very good, they can be my powerful help!" Especially that Ma Liang, who has seen beyond this era, and is very good at economic matters, even I am surprised by some of his opinions! ”

Yan Yuyao was also happy for Zhang Lang, "Congratulations to the eldest brother for getting so many talents at once!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed.
