Compared with military generals, the conference of scribes is actually much simpler.

After all, there is no need to go one-on-one like a general, so a special riding arena is set up for this purpose, and a complex elimination ranking system is engaged.

All the registered scribes were in the arranged place to take the examination of decrees, arithmetic, calligraphy, literary talents, political theories, and the art of war and strategy that Ning Ze added.

Of course, because of the different times, there are also different people's concepts. Male and female participants were tested separately in two different venues, and the content of the test was exactly the same.

There is no way, only Ning Ze, a traverser, has different ideas, of course, we must respect the difference between men and women in the current world, and everyone's fixed thinking. Even if you want to change the world and change the view of the status of men and women in the feudal era, you can only take it slowly, and it is difficult to do it in one step.

Other than that, everything went smoothly.

The scribe conference is divided into three rounds: preliminary examination, internal examination, and final examination, each round will carry out six items: decree, arithmetic, calligraphy, literary talent, political theory, and military art and policy theory, all of which are led by Ning Ze and jointly formulated with a large number of outstanding civil officials, including Chu Xun.

Chu Xun has a high reputation and status, and he has no interest in participating in exams and competing with young people for honors. Therefore, he is called the general person in charge of this conference of scribes, and he is also the chief examiner of the whole conference.

With his knowledge and identity, no one is unconvinced.

Chu Meiren, Chu Wenxiu, and Ning Ze's advisers who signed up for the competition can't contact the formulation of exam questions because they avoid suspicion, otherwise they can just make a decision, why bother to show real skills?

The preliminary examination will eliminate a large number of contestants who are not strong, leaving relatively good scribes, and then enter the second internal examination, and select the best 100 to enter the final examination according to the total score of the six examination items.

Those who enter the final examination will successfully make it to the top 100 scribes, and then the final examination will be held to determine the top 10 of the list.

This examination method focuses on the hexathlon, or relatively balanced. Those who are seriously biased are easy to be eliminated, for this reason, Ning Ze also set standards, some scribes who are extremely good in individual subjects, if they are brushed down in the competition, they will be invited to an interview, and those who pass can be arranged to different positions, after all, they control the land of seven states, and the official vacancies are serious, and a talent cannot be wasted.

The military conference is public, the more lively the better, and the duration is very long. The conference of scribes is closed and not open to the common people or non-related people to watch, so as not to affect the performance. Just like the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, except for relevant personnel and examiners, no one is allowed to enter the examination room, and at the same time, it is strictly monitored to block any possibility of cheating.

The initial test went very smoothly, and the contestants who were not very good at learning were brushed one after another, and the rest were relatively good members.

Very fast, the first test only takes one day, the internal test is one day, and the final test is one day.

After the initial examination, take a break for a few days, review the test papers for elimination, and then those who have obtained the qualification will enter the internal examination.

After the internal test, it is also a few days of rest, some of them are eliminated, and the remaining 100 people enter the final test.

After the final examination, Ning Ze, Chu Xun and the main civil officials of Huajun will be ranked fairly according to the results, and finally announced.

The whole process takes about half a month.

A major breakthrough in this conference of scribes was that the number of women participating in the conference reached 100. Not surprisingly, a large number of female officers can be recruited, and the situation is much better than before.

After all, female officers are too rare, and even if Golden State is completely open to the recruitment of female officers, the results are still not good so far.

This conference of scribes is expected to be a benchmark to attract more talented women to participate in the examination and join their camp.

Huajun Restaurant.

Sima Fa sat by the window, raising his glass and looking at the sky outside, looking quite comfortable.

"Brother Sima is so leisurely!" Feng Qiao appeared at the door of the private room and said with a smile.

"Feng Gongzi," a faint smile appeared on Sima Fa's face, "What kind of wind blew you over?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Feng Qiao entered the private room and closed the door with his hand.

Sima Fa got up, took a cup and poured it full of wine, and handed it to Feng Qiao with a smile.

Feng Qiao took the wine glass and lightly touched it with Sima Fa, who was also raising his glass, and at the same time raised his head and drank it all.

Sitting down by the window facing each other, Sima Fa filled his glass again and savored it with pleasure.

After a few drinks, Feng Qiao said: "In this preliminary test, the exam questions are quite difficult. Brother Sima doesn't seem to be worried at all?"

Feng Gongzi didn't look worried. Sima Fa laughed.

"Brother Sima has been walking around recently, has he gained anything?"

Sima Fa glanced up at him and remained silent: "Feng Gongzi is not idle, isn't he just looking for me to have a drink this time?"

The two of them are here on behalf of different forces, so how can they not know what each other thinks.

Feng Qiao laughed and turned his head to look out the window: "The people of Huajun are extremely vigilant, wherever I go, there are people from Ning Ze secretly following, and I want to inquire about something, it's not easy!"

"Feng Gongzi has obviously made a gain!" Sima Fa said with a smile.

"How can you see that?" Feng Qiao asked.

"Feng Gongzi specially looked for me, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked if he had any gains, obviously he came prepared!" Sima Fa said, "Although you and I have our own masters, and now we have the same purpose, then Ning Ze is not an easy person, if you can communicate with each other, it will be beneficial to both of you!"

Feng Qiao stretched out his hand to touch his nose, smiled and nodded: "In this case, it is better to get straight to the point!" ”

"But!" Sima Fa did not refuse, "What kind of information did Feng Gongzi get recently?"

"I heard some important information in the next step, but I don't know what the value of Brother Sima's intelligence is!" Feng Qiao said softly, "Please let Brother Sima know first, and share the information according to the importance of the next step." ”

"Feng Gongzi said this, he can't believe me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that the information I heard in the next is really important!" Feng Qiao said busily.

Sima Fa picked up the cup and took a sip of wine: "The information I got here is also extremely important! Since I have agreed to share it, I will not have such reservations as Feng Gongzi." ”

"As long as Brother Sima shares information, he will definitely tell the truth! Dare to ask Brother Sima, what important information have you obtained in the past few days?"

Sima Fa poured himself a drink and replied with a smile: "Ning Ze's control in Huajun is indeed amazing, after all, it is his foundation, and it is difficult to inquire about anything. It is estimated that he is also aware of our actions, and he has already explained them, and he will not let us get what we want. Since I can't ask, I can only rely on my own eyes to observe. In fact, there are details everywhere, and as long as you focus on some things, you will be able to see the problem!"

"Brother Sima, please speak!" Feng Qiao looked at him seriously with his wine glass.

"Although Huajun is on alert, even the people are on guard against us, and most of what we hear and see every day is misleading disinformation. Sima Fa took a sip of wine in his mouth and showed an expression of enjoyment, and continued, "Many things still appear one after another......

"Brother Sima, can you order directly?" Feng Qiao saw that he had not entered the topic for a long time, so he urged.

Sima Fa smiled slightly: "Recently, I have traveled all over Huajun and seen that there are often pigeons in the city, and they come and go frequently. There are no pigeon breeders in the city, looking at the way most of its paths go to and from the barracks, combined with the sporadic information obtained in the past, it can be sure that the reason why Ning Zejun's intelligence transmission is fast is inseparable from these pigeons!"

"What does Brother Sima mean......"

"That's right! Ning Zejun has already transmitted the message with the pigeon, and its method is extremely convenient, and it is often one step ahead on the battlefield to take advantage of it!" Sima Fa said, "It's just that it is impossible to determine at present, the technique of transmitting the message with the pigeon is the achievement of Ning Ze's spell, or the technique of pigeon training." If it is the latter, you should use it for your own use. ”

"Sending a message with a pigeon?" Feng Qiao's eyes flashed, "Brother Sima is sure?"

"As far as I can see, eight or nine are not far from ten!" Sima Fa replied, "Does Feng Gongzi think this information is important?"

"If that's the case, it's really an important military situation!" Feng Qiao nodded.

"In this case, what kind of news has Feng Gongzi found, please share it with me!"

Feng Qiao gently put the wine glass on the table, looked at Sima Fa and said solemnly: "What you get is not a trivial matter!"

"Please!"

"Recently, I have been walking around Huajun and observing carefully. Feng Qiao said, "Although Ning Ze lives in the princess's mansion, he stays in a private mansion, which is the Ning mansion." The house is heavily guarded, and there are often people of all sizes in the chamber of commerce coming in and out. The Chamber of Commerce started in Huajun, and the time of the next calculation was at the time of the rise of Ning Ze. The Chamber of Commerce is located in 16 states of Dacheng, expanding rapidly and doing great business. I just heard Brother Sima talk about using pigeons to transmit messages, and it suddenly occurred to me that if the Chamber of Commerce was really controlled by Ning Ze, with the technique of flying pigeons to transmit messages, there would be no secrets in the sixteen states!"

Hearing this, Sima Fa instantly became serious, pondered for a long time and nodded, and said: "No wonder Ning Ze has not tasted defeat since he appeared! ”

"Exactly!" Feng Qiao said, "but businessmen are not monolithic in their pursuit of profit. We don't know where to start in Huajun, and the chamber of commerce is spread all over the sixteen states. Now that you know this, you can use it! Maybe the flying pigeon can also be successful. ”

"If the means are superb, you can also use the Chamber of Commerce to obtain Ning Ze's military information. The corners of Sima Fa's mouth curled.

"That's right! In this way, Ning Ze will not be able to take the lead!"

Sima Fa and Feng Qiao glanced at each other, smiled and nodded at each other.

Although the two belong to different camps, joining forces for the time being at this moment will not affect their respective strategies.

At the same time, in the Ningze Mansion.

The people below informed Ning Ze of Sima Fa and Feng Qiao's whereabouts every day, including today's "chance encounter" between the two in the restaurant, without the slightest omission.

Ning Ze closed his eyes and pondered, and said indifferently: "The chance encounter is not accidental, presumably they have found out their feelings." Based on the current situation, there is still a daily whereabouts of the two people, the secret of the flying pigeon's book, and the truth of the Chamber of Commerce may be seen through. These two people join forces, it will not be too difficult to obtain the secret of the Flying Pigeon Transmission, pass the order, let the communication officer draw up a new communication password as soon as possible, once the other party obtains the top secret of the Flying Pigeon Transmission, immediately replace the password, so that the other party cannot decipher our latest military situation through the old password!"

"Whoa!"

"Also, contact the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce for me, after Sima Fa and Feng Qiao go back, they will definitely take action against the Chamber of Commerce, notify the local branches to strengthen vigilance, monitor all internal members in real time, and once they come into contact with any of the forces, no matter who is directly put into the alert list!"
