Walking in the city with Ashigaru, sure enough, there is no such noisy noise as in the castle town, but it seems very quiet, and there are almost no other people in sight along the way, and the road is lined with high walls on both sides, as if walking in an alley.

Thinking that this should be the defense facility area on the periphery of the city, it should be through such a zone to reach the inner hinterland living area of the city, after all, it is said that this kind of county-level city has acres of waterways, and now I haven't seen it all the way, indicating that I haven't stepped into the living area.

But this should be normal, you are just a guy who comes to seek office, you are your own person if you succeed, and you are just a stranger if you fail, why let you enter the inner hinterland of the city?

In this way, I finally came to a spacious courtyard, looking at the arrow stacks on both sides of the courtyard, and the test knife pillars that were solidly rolled into a ball with mats, it was obvious that this was a martial arts arena.

And what made Zhang Zhongjun most sure that this was the assessment area was that in the gallery at the top, there was a column of copywriters, and a row of penmen sitting behind them, who were busy recording something on the paper.

A handyman either helped to change the equipment in the martial arts arena, or helped deliver tea, pen and ink, or held the written paper and disappeared into the back of the pavilion.

In the same way, there were more than a dozen ashigaru wearing armor and helmets, holding spears, and most of them were staring at the battle between several pairs of samurai in the center of the arena.

Zhang Zhongjun's sharp eyes saw that there were a few penmen on the far side, who were very idle, they all took out fans to fan the wind, and they were in a good mood to taste tea, and even whispered to each other, and the paper, pen and ink on their copywriting did not move.

However, whenever a samurai entered, they would raise their eyes and look expectant, but soon they continued to wait leisurely in disappointment.

Zhang Zhongjun was a little stunned, he didn't know what the situation was, so he naturally conjured up more than a dozen copper plates and quickly stuffed them into the hand of the ashigaru who led the way.

Ashigaru, who had been silent all the way with a strained face, naturally noticed what was in his hand, pretended to inadvertently put it in his arms, and then took a step back, narrowed the distance between him and Zhang Zhongjun and asked in a low voice, "What do adults need to know?"

Seeing that the other party didn't look back and his movements remained stable, Zhang Zhongjun also learned to keep his face unchanged, and asked quietly with a calm expression: "What are those few such leisurely pen officials responsible for assessing?"

Originally, he was worried about how to answer the strange question, so he immediately said easily: "They are responsible for assessing internal affairs and strategy, but unfortunately, such talents are extremely scarce, and the family has not recruited a few talents for so long." ”

After saying this, this foot light walked a few steps quickly, and returned to the original distance, Zhang Zhongjun realized, the value of a dozen copper plates is like this, right?

Originally, Zhang Zhongjun was a little excited, and he didn't dare to say how awesome he would be when he engaged in internal affairs and strategies, after all, he had completely relied on strength to directly crush the world for so many years, and he had never paid much attention to internal affairs and strategies.

But to say that you don't know anything about internal affairs and strategy, that's not right, how to say that you have been a lord so many times, and have been the head of forces so many times, you are much stronger than these inexperienced people, and the most important thing is your own knowledge, I'm afraid few people can compare.

But engaging in civil war and strategizing is indeed an important position in a force, and even one of the important ministers, but the degree of freedom is definitely not comparable to that of those samurai who are almost the same as those independent forces. After all, when the samurai didn't fight, and when they didn't have a mission, most of them were busy managing their own affairs. And this kind of internal affairs strategist talent, although he has a lot of merit, high status, and a lot of knowledge and action, he must have to stay in the castle all the year round, and he has to stay by the side of the master of the family all the year round to give advice.

This is not what Zhang Zhongjun needs, Zhang Zhongjun's ideal of taking refuge in others is that Lao Tzu will work hard for you, make meritorious contributions to gain knowledge and action, and then if you have nothing to do, Lao Tzu will go to work on your own affairs, and talk about it if you have something.

And if you want to do something to say this, at least you have a very strong control over your own knowledge and action, only with such a strong and solid foundation, you can face the call of the main family when you have something, you can consider whether to respond to the recruitment from your own position. In other words, if you are an important minister who gets up at home through internal affairs and strategy, you will be unlucky in a few minutes if you dare to come up with this idea of "talking about something later". Because this kind of important minister and center are too involved and too deep, there is not much freedom at all.

On the contrary, it is an ordinary samurai, when there is a war, Lao Tzu will go out to fight, and after the battle, he will receive a reward, and then he will return to his own field to live, so that he is free.

However, this kind of samurai life seems to be the most formal and oldest samurai life, right? The previous generations of samurai have lived like this from generation to generation, slowly accumulating their own knowledge and deeds from generation to generation, and when their strength is enough, they will directly overturn their own master family and let themselves suddenly become a samurai from a wealthy family in the countryside.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but smile, this kind of standard and ancient samurai life is what he wants, who the hell can bear to mess around in the city? Lao Tzu still has to go to sea to explore those islands.

So when Zhang Zhongjun was asked what to choose to assess, Zhang Zhongjun naturally chose the martial arts assessment.

And the people who are assessed in martial arts account for more than ninety percent of the people who come to seek employment, so Zhang Zhongjun can only wait on the side.

The martial arts assessment is very simple, there are two kinds of melee combat and long-range combat, needless to say long-range combat, directly test archery, and determine the results according to the number of target rings.

Melee combat is to take any weapon and fight with a person wearing thick armor from head to toe with a wooden weapon, and you can propose to increase the number of people in this battle, and the ashigaru standing next to him is the person who increases the number of people. When you were alone before, what weapon you used, the other party used whatever weapon, and an absolutely fair model assessed you.

After the increase in the number of people, all the additional personnel were charged in formation with spears. And it is only necessary to increase the ashigaru of the three people, and in the face of this kind of military formation, let alone victory, as long as it can be carried down, it is directly the treatment of the ashigaru general. And it is said that as long as you can resist the 12 ashigaru arrays on the scene, it is completely fine to be treated as a general.

Hearing these conditions, Zhang Zhongjun smacked his lips directly, he meowed, if his strength was not greatly weakened, he would dare to try the treatment of the general, but now this strength is only a little stronger than ordinary people, and he doesn't dare to try the assessment of the general.
