Moreover, the most important thing is that it should be a safety issue, but when the time comes, there will be no stampede or anything like that, let's just say that there are no other princes sent to make trouble, which will also make people's heads big. Liu Yao didn't believe that those princes would watch him do this imperial examination so obediently.

Therefore, Liu Yao sent a large army to patrol the streets early, and at the same time, he also activated all the intelligence officers, and investigated all the strange faces who entered Jixian County one by one, and almost checked the eighteen generations of their ancestors.

It's really not to mention, but I really found out a lot of spies who used its princes, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, all of them, and if they didn't pull down, there were more than 100 people. Liu Yao didn't have much nonsense about this, and without alarming anyone, he arrested them one by one, and then directly pulled them out to humanely destroy Miè. It's a hundred.

"Gonghe, have the time of the exam and the candidates all been arranged, but don't go wrong then, and how many people are there to sign up?" Liu Yao lowered his head and looked at the list of applicants with interest. I wanted to find out if there was anyone I knew, so I asked the frustration without raising my head.

After hearing this, he put down the copywriting in his hand and replied, "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready." In order to stagger the time, the test was divided into two days. On the first day of Kawen, there were 3,367 applicants. On the second day, there were 2,645 applicants. ”

"So much!" Liu Yao was also taken aback, and shouted in disbelief. He originally thought that this was the first imperial examination. There will always be these people who have a wait-and-see attitude, and if there are 2,000 people, it is already a good result. But now it's more than twice as much, which is a bit surprising.

He smiled bitterly and said, "My lord." There are not so many people, and many of them are holding a kind of luck mentality, and one person signed up for several tests, so it seems that there are only a lot of people. The actual number is probably less than 4,000. ”

Liu Yao was also dumbfounded when he heard this, but Liu Yao was not surprised by such a person, after all, there is no limit to the number of registrations. It's completely okay to report astronomy. It's perfectly okay to report the strategy. And there are not many people who really have enough confidence in themselves. Rather than die on the door. You might as well report a few more, if you don't get lucky, it's a skyrocket. Of course, there are some people who are really talented and proficient in all aspects. That's why I signed up for multiple sessions. I want to show what I'm capable of.

But if there are not 6,000 people, there can be more than 4,000 people, which is already a big surprise. Liu Yao was also very satisfied with this. I believe that there will be a lot of talents waiting to be discovered by themselves.

"Lord, there was news three days ago, I think it's better for you to take a look!" At this time, Guo Jia took out a letter and handed it to Liu Yao.

Liu Yao waved his hand and said casually, "Fengxiao, read it to me." With that, he continued to search for the list.

Guo Jia's face suddenly became bitter, how could he forget that his father-in-law was a lazy man. In desperation, he could only say, "It's not a big deal." It's just that ten days ago, a group of water thieves came to the riverside, and there were more than 800 people? ”

"Well, water thief, what's going on? Did it hurt others? Why are you telling me now? Liu Yao listened, frowned slightly, put down the list in his hand, and looked at Guo Jia with some displeasure. This water thief is no joke. If it is an ordinary bandit, Liu Yao is not afraid, and he can be destroyed by sending a soldier and horse at will. But this water thief is in trouble. Liu Yao's current progress in the water army is not good, and he may not be able to eat these 800 water thieves.

But it's also helpless, among the various ships of this research institute, the centipede ship and the bottomless ship have been successfully manufactured, but they have not yet been able to popularize. As for the Zheng He treasure ship, the project is too big and has not been completed yet. It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without a warship, even if Tai Shici has the ability, there is no way to train the navy. Therefore, the current water army is still such a scene that is not embarrassing or embarrassing.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, I have been sending people to monitor this group of water thieves, and if there is any movement, I will directly send troops to exterminate them." It's just that after they came to Jixian County dozens of miles away, there has been no movement, so I didn't mention it to the lord. ”

"That ......"

"As for suing you now, it's because I've already inquired about the origin of that gang of water thieves. I'm sure you'll be very interested. Before Liu Yao could ask, Guo Jia said a little jokingly.

Liu Yao was also a little stunned when he heard this, and he didn't react for a while, and said with some confusion, "How can I be interested in water thieves, I'm just interested in our water army at most." ”

The next moment, he, Liu Yao, finally realized something, looked at Guo Jia with some surprise, and asked, "Fengxiao, do you say that this water thief has something to do with our water army?" ”

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and said happily, "Exactly, I have already found out the origin of that group of water thieves." They used to be water thieves who were active on the Yangtze River, but I don't know why I came back here now. But that's not the point, the key thing is that the leader of this gang of water thieves is the two people mentioned by the previous lord! ”

"But Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai!" Liu Yao blurted out. Yangtze River water thieves, except for Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, there are only Gan Ning's Jinfan thieves. And this Guo Jia also said that it is two people, so you don't have to think about it to know who it is.

Guo Jia was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Yao to call out all of a sudden, nodded and said, "It's the two of them!" And the two of them have already signed up for this martial arts examination, and it seems that they want to defect to the lord. As for the 800 water thieves, they probably came with them. That's why they stayed there all the time, and there was no movement at all. ”

"Hahaha! Good! What do you want! Liu Yao laughed and said, "With the martial arts of these two people, if you want to pass the martial arts examination, it can't be easier." If I hadn't broken the rules, I'd have wanted to recruit both of them. When the time comes, our naval army in Youzhou, with these two naval army generals, will definitely go to the next level. ”

"Lord, don't forget, there are still 800 water thieves. They are on the water all year round, and it's not bad to think about this water kung fu. With them joining our water army, as long as they change their original atmosphere of water thieves, it will be more than enough to be a platoon commander or something! Guo Jiajiao said with a smile.

Liu Yao couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia in the fox laughing when he heard this, and the two laughed at the same time. A look of deep thought and smelling alike. (To be continued......)
