Nowadays, the chief of the characteristic village and the village chief in Jinling City are all selected from a group of poor people who are illiterate and literate.

Their knowledge and ability may be among the best among the people, but if they are officials, they are too bad.

Every time Zhuge Liang ordered some things to go down, he had to check them in person, for fear that they would do something wrong or not do it properly.

Just like a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice, he doesn't have a few people to worry about, and many things will naturally fall on him.

As wise as he is, he has too much to share his energy.

Today's incident gave Chu Hao a wake-up call.

The household department needs to add a few talents, otherwise, if it continues like this, Zhuge Liang may not even be able to reach the age of his previous life.

In his previous life, Zhuge Liang died at the age of fifty-four.

At present, he is thirty-five years old, and at the current level, it is already the limit to live to forty.

Looking at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the chair in front of him with a depressed expression, Chu Hao sighed lightly in his heart.

"Fortunately, Fang Xuanling will soon come to the capital with Huang Shang."

"Huang Sheng has been the county magistrate in Liuhe County for decades, and Fang Xuanling has been by his side since he was a child, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, his ability must be no problem, and with him by Zhuge Liang's side, he can also worry less."

As soon as he thought of this, he asked, "Have you thought about the topic of this big exam?" ”

After Zhuge Liang heard the inquiry, his expression returned to his former calm, and he said: "The general arrangement has been made, and when the official Shangshu Huangshang enters Beijing, you can start to prepare." ”

When Chu Hao nodded lightly when he heard this, the two carriages also came to the outside of Jinling City one after the other.

Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city stepped forward to intercept them and opened the curtain of the carriage to inspect it. Later, after learning that this was the carriage of the new official Shangshu Huangshang, several soldiers hurriedly apologized and took the initiative to lead the carriage into the city.

At present, there is only one inn in the city, 'Wangjiang Tower'.

Therefore, Huang Shang's family, as well as Fang Xuanling's family, all temporarily lived in Wangjiang Tower.

At the counter downstairs, Jiang Yuyan looked at these guests with a curious expression, especially one of them, who looked like a septuagenarian, but his bearing was not like that of ordinary people.

Her gaze naturally couldn't hide from Huang Shang, but Huang Sheng didn't pay attention to it, and after he settled his family, he and Fang Xuanling walked towards the Gongyuan under the leadership of the soldier guarding the city.

On the way, Fang Xuanling looked at the surrounding city walls that almost penetrated into the sky with admiration, and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know how many years it took to build the walls of Jinling City, it seems to have exceeded a hundred zhang!" ”

After hearing this, Huang Shang, who was dressed in a green shirt, nodded lightly and said, "The height should be about ninety-five zhang, and the time to build it should not be long." ”

After hearing the conversation between the two, the soldier guarding the city beside him said with a smile: "My lord is right, the city wall is indeed ninety-five zhang high, and it has not been long since it was built. ”

Fang Xuanling touched a strand of beard under the tip of his nose and exclaimed, "Ninety-five zhang tall? Could it be the so-called fairy god? Otherwise, how could a mortal build such a wall! ”

The soldiers defending the city said with a smile: "Although it is not an immortal god, it is no different from an immortal god, this is built by the seventh prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace led thousands of dragons in three days!" ”

"Three days?!"

When Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard this, Huang Sheng couldn't help but look sideways.

The soldiers defending the city said, "Have you seen the eight towers?" ”

Huang Sheng nodded slightly.

The soldiers defending the city said: "These eight towers are also built by the Dragon Palace, and there are more than two million people living in the towers!" ”

After Huang Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at it.

There are millions of people in Liuhe County today, and because there is not enough land in the county, many people live in the mountains and simply build wooden houses out of wood.

"Maybe we should learn about these eight towers in the capital, so that the people on the mountain can return to the ground."

As he thought about this, the words of a character chief not far away also reached his ears.

"Listen well, this scientific expedition is divided into five departments and 28 subjects."

"The five ministries are the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites."

"There are fourteen departments in the Ministry of Industry, namely carpentry, stonemasonry, miner, potter, silkworm worker, fisherman, kitchen worker, salt worker, civil engineering and construction, blacksmith, casting and sealing, winemaking, weaving, and arithmetic."

……

After listening to this content, Huang Shang's brows furrowed deeply and he thought about it.

Fang Xuanling's face changed slightly, and said: "Why can even farming and cooking be examined, but scholars only have one subject, education?" ”

The soldier replied: "My lord doesn't know, there was a big demon in the palace before, who killed all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and swept away millions of people in Jinling City, and now these people have migrated from other places. ”

"There are not many people who read, and a lot of people died on the road, and the rest haven't read books for a long time, and what they learned before has long been forgotten."

"But the big cadres are in ruins, and the court can only choose to let the people be stable and prosperous first, and then carry out the normal imperial examination."

"The content of this exam, collectively referred to as people's livelihood, is to revive all industries in Jinling City in a short period of time."

When Huang Sheng nodded slightly, Fang Xuanling looked at him curiously and asked, "Why do you know so much about this?" ”

The soldier smiled and said, "Don't hide it from the adult, the villain's brother has already applied for a carpentry subject, so the villain knows a lot about it." Moreover, the elders of those characteristics began to shout from 7 o'clock to 8:59 a.m., and if there was something they did not understand, they would explain it. ”

"Almost every household has signed up, and people are talking about this matter, and the villain naturally understands it clearly."

Hearing him say this, Huang Sheng and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and then came to the side gate of the Gongyuan with the soldiers.

Before and after coming to the gate, the soldier arched his hand to them and said: "Two lords, this is the tribute courtyard, the villain is a soldier guarding the city, and he must not leave the city gate for a long time, so he will retire." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Looking at his back, Huang Sheng said: "Xuan Ling, you wait here for a while, and after being a teacher, I will come to pick you up." ”

Fang Xuanling bowed and said yes.

Before, because when Chu Hao entered from this gate, there was not even a guard in front of the door, Li Guangda was furious and scolded a lot.

So there are already two elite soldiers in armor guarding the door at this moment.

When Huang Shang approached the side door, one of them said, "Who are you?" ”

Huang Shang bowed his hand and said, "The new secretary of the ministry, Huang Shang." ”

The soldier frowned and said, "Is there a certificate?" ”

Huang Shang took out the holy decree from his bosom.

The two soldiers hurriedly knelt down to salute the holy decree, and when they had finished, one hurried back to the tribute courtyard to inform, while the other stood guard at the door.

After a while, Li Guang came to the side door.

He used to be the governor of the Governor of the Five Armies from the third grade, so he naturally heard of Huang Shang, the champion of Fuxi for 14 years.

Huang Shang once served as Dr. Guozi, a scholar in the middle school, a waiter, and a scholar in the Ministry of Rites.

Because his whole family was killed, he angrily resigned to take revenge.

Although these things have passed for a long time, they are still discussed on weekdays.
