"You follow me, although on the one hand you can improve yourself, but you lack grassroots understanding, but at this stage, forget it, when the time is right, I will let you out for a period of time, only by experiencing more people, people who really understand the needs of the people, can go higher." Li Xin said with a smile.

Ma Zhou didn't know what mood he was in to leave the Dadu Governor's Mansion, he only knew that Li Xin was different from the legend, and it was rumored that Li Xin was a martial artist, and he was extremely strong in the battle, but he relied on the merits of Du Ruhui, Pei Shiju and others to govern the place, but now he knew that Li Xin would definitely not be like the legend, and his understanding of government affairs was definitely no less than Du Ruhui.

"Brother Ma Xian." As soon as Ma Zhou came out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he saw Pei Mai leading a few subordinates to stand at the door, and when he saw Ma Zhou, he arched his hand with a smile.

"Brother Pei, are you done with the exam?" Ma Zhou's face also showed a hint of reserve, even if he was very highly educated, even if he was now following Li Xin, but his heart had not changed much, and he was still a little constrained when he saw a child of a family like Pei Mai.

"Brother Ma Xian, I have to admire you for my brother." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Pei Mai's mouth, and he said: "I actually guessed the mind of the Metropolitan Governor very thoroughly, if nothing else, three hundred people will probably be able to pass the guò exam this time." Although Pei Mai has been taught by Pei Shiju, he has been prepared for the exam in his heart, but when it came to the exam, he found that the questions of the exam were extremely simple, not to mention that he had traveled thousands of miles to take the exam, these guys were more or less talented, as long as they had read for a few years, or they could make it, Li Xin This is clearly releasing water, as long as the three hundred people are not fools, they can pass guò. In this exam, there is no difference between the family and the ordinary children of the poor family.

"This is the result of the great governor's foresight and benevolence and love for the people." Ma Zhou hurriedly said.

"Haha, let's go. You are a person who even my uncle and ancestors praise very much, so I want to learn more from you. Pei Mai was still very jealous of Ma Zhou, a son of a poor family actually jumped into the dragon gate, and suddenly became a close minister by Li Xin's side, although he was just a secretary, but everyone knew that Li Xin was about to reuse his logo here. In the face of this situation, a child of a family like Pei Mai did not despise him, but wooed him.

"Brother Pei, please." Ma Zhou couldn't refuse, so he followed behind Pei Mai with a stiff expression.

Wait until Ma Zhou leaves. Li Xin returned to the study, Du Ruhui and the others had already put the test papers there, although they were ready to admit all of them, but Li Xin still wanted to see what great talents were inside.

"The Grand Governor." After Li Xin entered the study, Du Ruhui and the others all stood up.

"Well, what's the talent?" Li Xin waved his hand, took a test paper and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "The children of the poor are the children of the poor families." People like Ma Zhou are still rare. ”

"The one in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor is a student of Lord Xu, and he has only been studying for two years." Du Ruhui said with a smile: "My subordinates thought that I had read the book for two years. It's good enough to be able to write an article like this. What's more, as long as we are assigned to the county as an official after this selection, our subordinates think that talent is not particularly important. ”

"Yes. Not bad. Li Xin nodded and said, "Pragmatism is the most important, Mr. Chu." You have to teach them how to persuade farmers to build water conservancy, how to judge cases, etc., you have been a treasurer before, and you are very familiar with the following situation, teach them more, let them study with you for two months before they are released. ”

"Yes." Chu Liang nodded with a wry smile, he didn't expect to be a teacher again.

"This kind of thing should be done often, and every time an official is elected in the future, he must study for two months before being released." Li Xin said with a straight face: "What our policy is, it is not up to us to implement it, but on these people. ”

"The Governor of the Metropolitan is taught." Chu Liang and the others' faces changed, and they said solemnly.

At this time, they knew that although the official position was relatively small, the responsibility was very heavy, and it was just as Li Xin said, that everyone formulated various policies in Jincheng, but who were the people who implemented it in the end, and it wasn't those county orders? If the county order only knows how to exploit the people below, no matter how good the policy is, I am afraid it will not be able to truly benefit the people. Prefectural orders are the foundation of a country.

"The county order doesn't need anything else, just govern the territory well and understand the above policies, they don't need to know the whole country, they just need to understand their own territory. So these people are perfectly competent. Li Xin smiled and pointed to the answer sheet in front of him and said. Many of them were Li Xin's entry into the northwest, attaching importance to education, and using various policies to invite Confucian scholars from the Central Plains to give lectures and educate the locals, although the number is still relatively small, but Li Xin believes that more talents will definitely appear in the future. This is just the beginning.

"Dadu Governor, these children of the family don't know how to arrange, should they stay in Jincheng?" Chu Suiliang asked in a low voice.

"Study for two months first, and Mr. Chu will take a look at it to see which people are suitable to stay in Jincheng and which people are suitable to go to the place." Li Xin didn't think about it and said: "The people who stay in Jincheng must have a clean family background, and I will let Jinyiwei seriously investigate the family history of these people." We can't wronged a good man, but we must not let a spy into my northwest. Let's take a look at what talent is available, and now we can keep an eye on it. Li Xin beckoned everyone to look at the test paper in front of them.

"Yes." Except for Xu Jin, the rest of the people are not rich in five cars, the test papers in front of them are extremely simple, three hundred test papers can be read in one day, five of the top test papers are selected, one hundred are medium, and the rest are all inferior. Some people who really can't do it were eliminated, and 283 valid candidates were obtained. In the face of such a result, although Li Xin and others had already prepared, they were still a little embarrassed. In the end, in the northwest land, Li Xin has no righteous name, except for the Ma Zhou and Liu Xiangdao, the children of the family account for four of the five shares, and one Liu Xiangdao also has some relationship with Li Yuan. But fortunately, Li Xin himself didn't have any hope, this time the exam is mostly about buying horse bones, and it's already very good to be able to start so much. Early the next morning, Li Xin asked Chu Liang to post the list. The selected candidates participate in the study and training of the Reiji, and for those who really do not know how to learn, they will either study at the Kaneshiro Academy to prepare for the next year's exams, or they will take the money to go home.

In any case, Li Xin still made a name for himself in the imperial examination this time, and 300 people were admitted to such a person, and it spread for a while, with mixed reviews. It's just that Li Xin's lack of attention to the door valve still attracted the attention of the children of the poor family, and many of the children of the poor family came to the northwest thousands of miles to look for the slightest opportunity to enter the officialdom. And Li Xin was supplemented by these officials, which finally made up for the embarrassing problem of the lack of officials in the northwest.

Li Xin leaned back in his chair, the affairs in the northwest had entered a calm, all ministries and divisions were operating normally, the general Li Jing led the army to Zhangye County, and Pei Renji led an army of 40,000 to lose Zhangye, but he led the army to detour to Juyanze, preparing to send troops from behind the Turks. And Li Xin also has free time to rest at home at this time, accompany his wife every day, or practice martial arts. In his heart, he was waiting for the news of Li Yuan's troops.

"The Grand Governor, the last general has received news that there is a trail in Longshan that can enter the Turkic territory." Shen Qianqiu broke in from the outside at this time, his face full of joy.

"Longshan Trail?" Li Xinmeng stood up from the recliner and said in surprise: "What's going on with the Longshan Trail?" Tell me about it. "Li Jing sent troops from Juyanze, although he could deal with the Turks, but Li Jing's soldiers and horses were relatively small, and in the face of 100,000 Turkic troops, it was not up to Li Jing to grasp how much he could achieve.

"In fact, the Metropolitan Governor has been there for a long time, I didn't pay attention to it before, not long ago, because of the war between us and the Turks, some people wanted to go to the Turks to do business, so they entered and exited from the Longshan Trail, and we found out." Shen Qianqiu said proudly. This was the most important piece of information he sent.

"If you want to pass through the Longshan Trail, you have to go to Longxi County." Li Xin walked around in the small pavilion, the more he walked, the more frightened he became, he suddenly found a problem, Li Yuan went south to Guanzhong, much closer than Li Xin, and even sent troops from his own side, even if there was an order from the acting king, I am afraid that he would suffer from the opposition of the Guanlong family, and even resist, so that it would consume a lot of his time, and he could not go to Daxing quickly. He wanted to set off now, and if he wanted to set off, he needed to find a reason, and now the reason was in front of him, and he entered the Central Plains first with the help of the Longshan Trail.

"Qianqiu, go and invite a few gentlemen." After Li Xin figured out the mystery, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, passive waiting is not his Li Xin's personality, what he has to do is to attack first and seize the initiative in the attack.

"I've seen the Grand Governor." Soon, Pei Shiju and others walked in, and Li Xin asked people to move the brocade stool and sit down.

"Shen Qianqiu told me that I found a trail called Longshan Trail in Longxi, which can quickly reach the Turkic territory, and I want to personally lead 60,000 people to enter the Turkic hinterland through the Longxi Trail, what do you think?" Li Xin said to everyone with a smile.

Pei Shiju and the others are all old foxes, and they immediately understood the meaning of Li Xin's words, if they want to break into the Turkic territory, they are actually to occupy the entire Longxi, even if it is not an open occupation, it is also to seize the opportunity. I have to say that this is a rather bold idea, if it can really succeed, it will enable Li Xin to quickly enter Guanzhong. (To be continued......)
