Li Banghua and their actions were very fast, and in just three days, they selected 2,000 aspiring young people from innocent backgrounds among the many jinshi and lifters.

Early this morning, they wore the official uniforms confiscated from the house of the criminal officer, and cautiously went to the palace, and lined up in front of the noon gate.

"The emperor has decreed that the newly promoted officials will participate in the temporary palace examination in front of the noon gate and be assigned official positions according to the results of the palace examination. Start your exam now! Wang Chengen announced loudly outside the noon gate.

Immediately, hundreds of eunuchs distributed desks, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones to each of the newly promoted officials.

The people in front of the noon gate were taken aback, this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step!

More than 2,000 of them have no official status, and this time they are serving as the Shangshu of the second grade, or the secretary of the ninth grade.

See you today!

Those who are good at Bagu Wen are ready to show their talents, those with average knowledge, regret in their hearts, they knew that they had such an opportunity to soar, and what if they studied hard for two years.

Soon, the eunuchs handed out the test papers one by one, and the eyes of the reference personnel suddenly widened.

What the hell is this?

I saw that the paper issued was a pile of papers, at least 50 pages, and on the cover, there were four block letters written "Preliminary Examination".

Flipping through the cover, there are ten questions on each page, and the question type is strange and unprecedented.

Jinshi and the people roared in their hearts:

"What is this question? The teacher didn't talk about it! ”

"The topic is out of the box!"

Zhu Youjian sat on the tower of Wumen City, looking down at the more than 2,000 candidates, and secretly thought: "It turns out that the invigilator feels like this." ”

Candidates look at the exam instructions: Multiple choice questions, please choose one or several answers that you think are correct and fill in the answer sheet.

Question 1: What are the advantages of armor made of paper compared with leather armor and iron armor?

A: Good protective effect;

B: You can respond to emergencies when squatting in the toilet;

C: Lightweight, conducive to long-distance travel;

Ding: Cheap;

E: It's easy to be lit, and I'm afraid of fire.

Question 2: The thief army is about to besiege a city, what should the county order in the city do?

A: The walls are clear, and the thieves are not allowed to get any supplies outside the city;

B: Pack up and abandon the city and flee;

C: Surrender the thieves, life comes first;

Ding: Contact the nearest officers and soldiers, organize the villagers, and resist to the death;

E: Climb the wall in person to encourage morale.

Question 3......

The candidates were dizzy, looking at the so-called exam questions in this and that direction, and they suspected that they had crossed over.

Zhu Youjian watched it for a while, very bored, and admired the examiner who had been invigilating for three consecutive days in his previous life.

He stood up and handed Wang Chengen a copy of the answer and the serial number of the offered position.

said: "Give them a score according to the answers, rank them out to Li Banghua, and let him arrange the corresponding candidates to study the employee handbook according to the ranking and position number, and then join the company." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian took a few personal guards and walked quickly down the city tower, passed through the Huangji Gate, and came to the front of the Huangji Palace.

On the square between the Huangji Gate and the Huangji Palace, there is another group of people, this is the elite soldiers selected by Gao Di from the left guard of the Yulin Forest. There are 3,000 people.

These people must be bold, able to read and write, and have a flexible mind.

Now they are reading the agrarian revolution work manual. Everyone is extremely serious.

Just yesterday, they passed the physical fitness test and the martial arts assessment,

Today, he was assigned to the working group of "Fighting Criminals and Dividing Fields", and was dragged to the palace early in the morning to study the work manual.

"The emperor has arrived!" Tian Shouxin said loudly.

Tian Shouxin was originally the prince's eunuch, but because the prince disappeared, he was asked by Zhu Youjian to come to his side.

The soldiers hurriedly threw down the manual and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Flat."

Gao Yiyi trotted over: "Sheng, the explanation in the work manual is clear, I believe that the minister will be able to go on an errand within three days." ”

"Well done. Have all the property of those criminal officials been sorted out? Zhu Youjian asked.

"The places that have been commanded by the Holy One have been counted and registered. At present, the Daning Division, Shandong Division, and Henan Division, with a total of 90,512,600 mu of cultivated land, including 1,456,500 mu of paddy fields, 28,076,000 mu of irrigated land, and 60,980,100 mu of dry land. "Gao Di replied.

"Good. Hurry up and get started, divide these 3,000 soldiers into groups of 3, send them to various places, and start working in different places. Zhu Youjian said happily.

"Yes."

"Remember, follow the instructions in the manual, step by step. When the time comes, mobilize the people to join the army and defend their land! Zhu Youjian said excitedly.

"There are countless landless and displaced people in the Ming Dynasty, and now they don't have to pay salaries, pay salaries, and practice salaries, and they have been exempted from land for ten years, how can the people not enthusiastically join the army to protect the fields." Gaudi said complimentingly.

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Gao Di's comprehension, and said loudly to the soldiers: "Warriors of the Ming Dynasty, you are saving the people from fire and water, and you are the great benefactor of the people.

If the people voluntarily joined the army to defend their homes and the country, they were brought back to the barracks and became your subordinate soldiers.

Bring back ten people, you are a small flag, bring back 50 people, you are the general flag, bring back 250 people, you are the total!

In order to ensure civilian production, the number of people who join the army in various localities is limited to 750, and the best are admitted. ”

"Holy Heaven! Holy mercy! ”

"The Holy One loves the people like a son!"

……

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

On the streets of Jingshi, a team of "cavalry" wearing flying dragon robes attracted the onlookers of the people on the streets.

If he hadn't been afraid of his official authority, he would have gone up to surround him a long time ago!

Xiong Wei took the lead and rode in high spirits on the streets of Beijing.

According to Chongzhen's will, he took the Flying Dragon Army and the Yuejia Army, rode a newly made wooden bicycle, and went to Beijing to report on his work.

After a while, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Youjian looked at Xiong Wei and Yue Ban who were in the dust, and was full of emotion.

In this month, if it weren't for the two of them as surprise soldiers, Da Ming might really be finished.

"Xiong Wei, this bike is easier to ride than a horse?" Zhu Youjian asked with a smile.

"Back to the Holy Family, the bicycle designed by the Holy Lord is endlessly mysterious, and it doesn't have to eat grass like a horse. It is...... It's riding in the wilderness, and the butt hurts. Xiong Wei said wryly.

"Hahaha, these bicycles will be placed in the Beijing Division first, and given to those soldiers who maintain law and order. In the future, when the official road is repaired, it will be equipped with the army. After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he looked at Yue Ban again.

Yue Ban saw Chongzhen looking at him, and hurriedly said: "The bicycles, skateboards, four-wheeled carriages, and three-wheeled pedal carts made by the Holy Lord's ministers have all made a large number of finished products. ”

"Okay, I'm not wrong, I see that you are not far from the marquis." Zhu Youjian praised.

"The minister doesn't dare to ask for the marquis, if he can help the saint solve his problems, the minister will be satisfied." Yue Ban said respectfully.

This place is no better than the wilderness, and in the palace, Yue Ban is cautious, for fear that he will say the wrong thing.

"Pintonber is getting better and better at talking. But you can't put your mind to the world. You have to specialize in technical work. Zhu Youjian reminded.

"Remember."

"Good. Keep your word and give the drawings to Pintonburg. ”

Yue Ban was a little immune to Chongzhen's design drawings, and when he saw these drawings, he was still shocked.

"Here are the drawings of rifles, grenades, mortars. You take it back and study it well. I have allowed you to transfer all the blacksmiths and carpenters from the Jingshi, including those in the Shenji Camp and the Imperial City. ”

Yue Ban was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank him.

In addition to the arrangement of the new policy in the past few days, Zhu Youjian has also carefully inspected the industry of this era.

The iron-smelting process is so-so, but it lacks the process of making springs. Due to this limitation, many thermal weapons cannot be crafted. It can only be developed slowly.

At the same time, saltpeter and other items are also in short supply and urgently need to be mined.

Now that there is a shortage of troops and armaments, there is no way to use troops abroad for the time being.

Fortunately, in history, the Hongguang Imperial Court never planned to go on a northern expedition, and now Jianyu and Li Zicheng have also been disabled, and there is not much military pressure around.

Financially, with Li Zicheng, a boy who sent money, he lost control of Jiangnan and the west, so he didn't need to pay money to officials there, let alone garrison troops in northern Liaobei.

Expenses are greatly reduced.

Except for the search for the crown prince, there is nothing particularly important.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian considered the development of the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, the Yanshan Mountains, and the Yimeng Mountains the most.
