When the feast was over, everyone left one after another, and the heads of the families were full of joy.

In the days when Chu Nan did not come back, in order to express their respect for the King of Chu, some families vigorously appeased the surrounding people, and contributed a lot of grains, grasses, medicinal materials and other resources.

At least this move will not make some families who have contributed to the central part of the West Continent proud of their achievements.

In the big tent in the center, Huang Feng made a pot of sobering tea.

Shang Yue, Wang Zhen, Xu Feng, Ma Zheng, and Yang Xiu were accompanied by five people.

Regarding the outline, Chu Nan was really uneducated, remembered the son of the prime minister of Daqin, and said to Huang Feng: "Tonight, some talents will emerge from the wealthy families, and tomorrow we will be able to select talents from the poor families." ”

"There are 200,000 households, and I don't know how many people can read books."

Huang Fengduan gave Chu Nan a cup of hot tea and said: "According to our rough statistics, there are 5,000 people who have poured into this place to read, and there are about 25,000 people who are familiar with literature and ink, so there is still room for selection. ”

"According to the state and county system, the entire central part of Xizhou can be divided into three states and nine counties."

"The number of officials needed is 3,000 people, tens of thousands of ordinary scribes, and 20,000 people are enough, including the errand soldiers."

"If His Highness still has other administrative plans, such as the county system, etc., the number of people can be streamlined."

"In short, everything depends on what His Highness thinks."

When Chu Nan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xu said: "For the time being, take the three states and nine counties as the standard. ”

"Then the exam will start tomorrow, divided into three rounds, and the first round will take out 10,000 people."

"Three thousand people will be taken out in the second round."

"In the third round, take out a hundred people."

"As for the remaining places, those big families will definitely occupy a part, and there will even be some related households."

The so-called related households, the ability is enough, at least enough to be qualified for a certain official position, but this kind of people have the heart of forming gangs, and the number of people must be controlled to a minimum.

It can't be said that there is no need for related households at all, and the core purpose of using related households is only to give those big families a decent place, and by the way, it can also check and balance some wolf ambitions in the cold family.

Nowadays, Chu Nan has no achievements in governing the country, so he can only establish a general framework structure first, and then slowly modify and streamline it later.

Chu Nandao: "The first test is the avenue in the heart, which can be improvised and written at will." ”

"The second test is to test poetry and songs."

"The third test is the light in the heart."

After Huang Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, then thought about it carefully, noticed the meaning, and said unexpectedly: "In the first test, you can directly see how the heart is and what the pattern is, and in the second test, you can not only see the foundation of knowledge, but also invisibly observe the deeper human nature and the ability to do practical things." ”

"The third test involves too wide a scope, and it is clear who is public and who is selfish."

"But the doorway and knowledge in this are not understood by those who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, as far as I know, His Royal Highness has always been in the wind and rain, when did you understand this?"

"Could it be that after going to Beizhou, I was instructed by a master."

Rao is Shang Yue is a few young people, and they were also amazed by Chu Nan's outline, which are interlocking and have no loopholes at all.

Chu Nan smiled ashamedly and said: "This is the idea I can come up with, in the past, I left Longchang Town, went to Daqin, and met Qi Feng, the son of the prime minister of Daqin, and participated in a bamboo forest meeting under a pseudonym. ”

"I'm ashamed."

"But I really think this routine has the most direct effect."

I am also very glad that I participated in that meeting of the White Bamboo Forest, otherwise today's Chu Nan, in the face of such a complicated selection situation, really doesn't know where to start.

When Huang Feng heard this, he laughed and said: "I see, but His Highness can learn and use it, which is also rare." ”

"It's just that we can make a decision for His Highness in the first exam, and when it comes to the second exam, His Highness must look at all the test papers one by one, and when it comes to selecting talents, everyone's vision is different."

"All we can do is assist."

"The specific choice is up to His Highness."

From beginning to end, Huang Feng abided by the rules of letting Chu Nan be the master of the house, although he came to help, and selected talents for His Royal Highness the King of Chu with the reputation of Dayuan Academy, but it was absolutely impossible to cross the line.

Chu Nan nodded solemnly and said, "I have to work for everyone." ”

Subsequently, Huang Feng and others left the central tent one after another, preparing for tomorrow's affairs.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Gozi led a group of light horsemen to spread the news of the expedition, but all those who wished to participate in the expedition arrived at the center before noon.

In addition to informing the news, Gao Zi also had to go to various wealthy families today, collect them to write a strategy overnight, and hand it over to Chu Nan when he could go back.

For illiterate people, hearing this news is regarded as watching a lively scene, but the hearts of many older generation characters are still a little desolate.

Feeling that they have no interest and no ability, and they have not let their children read and write, the older generation of people know that this scientific examination will determine the fate of many people, so that many depressed readers will ascend to the sky in one step and become human beings.

As the so-called Lao Tzu has a kind of wealth and roots, but Lao Tzu has not planted, and wealth naturally has no roots.

In life, I could have been mediocre and incompetent for a lifetime, but suddenly one day, I saw a lot of people around me, one after another, ascending to the hall of elegance, that kind of feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Life is very hard, there are always people who can taste the sweetness, but the person who tastes the sweetness is not himself, nor is he his own relatives.

And for those who read books, for those who are well-versed in letters, this news is undoubtedly exciting, and they have been waiting for such an opportunity since they came here.

Now, it's finally their turn.

For a while, many people from various regions walked out of the direction of the central big tent where Chu Nan was located.

The tents around the central tent were all demolished, revealing a huge rough square, on which tables, chairs, pen and ink, and a white scroll had already been prepared.

The chief examiner is naturally Huang Feng.

Shang Yue, Wang Zhen, Xu Feng, Yang Xiu, Ma Zheng and others served as deputy examiners.

Today is going to be a big day.

Many people who were unknown and worthless before this time will become officials after today.

It's noon.

On the 10,000-person square outside the big tent in the center, more than 8,000 people sat down one after another, and some people were on the way.

A tall young man drove a war horse from a distance at great speed, and when he approached the central tent, he turned over and dismounted in a dashing manner, and walked quickly to the central tent, and Gozi returned.

In the big tent, there was only Chu Nan.

Chu Nan did not have the leisure and elegance of drinking tea and tea, but sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and concentrated, and recuperated.

In the past two days, Chu Nan will look at a large number of volumes.

What makes Chu Nan laugh is that he has never regarded himself as a scholar, but now he wants to look at the scholars' articles and theories.

I admire the son of the prime minister of Daqin more and more, I don't know how many dossiers Qi Feng has seen since his debut?

Gao Zi brought back a large box of folds and stacked them neatly on top of the copywriting for Chu Nan.

Chu Nan looked at it at a glance, no less than thousands of folds.

Thirty families, one family sent ten people to write a strategy, but it was only three hundred.

The family is a family in the end, and I know that this is an opportunity, and I also know how huge the talent pool of the family is.

"Good work." Chunan Road.

Gao Zi bowed slightly and said: "Now that the mountains and rivers in the central part are becoming more and more prosperous, no matter how hard it is, I am full of energy. ”

Chu Nan couldn't help but ask, "Does anyone in your family write a strategy?" ”

Suddenly asked, Gao Zi was slightly distracted and said: "I didn't participate in this matter, I am only a little learned, and I dare not talk about the affairs of the family and the country." ”

In terms of family background, the Gao family where Gao Zi is located is no longer a big family when calculated carefully.

and the previous Wang Zhao, at most, he is a small family.

The situation is changing too quickly, and Ran Gaozi and Wang Zhao are the strong men who were temporarily caught when Chu Nan was too busy to work, and they also have a high position in Chu Nan's heart.

Chu Nan smiled faintly and said: "You go to collect the excerpts, what is the attitude of those wealthy families towards you, is it respectful, or natural, or is it a little belittling of you?" ”

The human heart has had high and low since ancient times.

Although everyone knows that Gao Zi is the first person to be reused in Chu Nan, what Gao Zi did is not very difficult, and it is only the Three Yang Realm, and this Three Yang Realm is still based on nothingness, and it is reasonable that it is not in the eyes of the wealthy.

After hearing this, Gao Zi thought for a while and responded: "They all treat me politely, without deliberate respect, and there is no meaning of belittling. ”

After Chu Nan heard this, he immediately praised the knot: "Good spirit, it is really the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

Gao Zi was flattered for a while, he knew that the current King of Chu was no longer the King of Chu he saw at first sight.

There are not many people who can afford to look at the character of Gaozi, and the vast majority of them, although they don't say it, still have some opinions in their hearts.

Chu Nan knew that people standing on high places would subconsciously look down, instead of looking in all directions.

"Yuan Meng is not here, and almost all the daily hardships and hardships fall on you alone."

"Although I don't know the depth of your knowledge, you have always given me a good impression, can you be interested in reading these folds with me?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Gao Zi hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "By all means, I am only a shallow learner, and I don't even dare to write about policies, how dare I read the articles of these virtuous and talented people." ”

"Your Highness really tormented me."

It's best not to go to things that shouldn't be done by yourself, but in fact, Chu Nan really wants to let Gaozi read these articles together.

It's just that Goetz is a young man, and he is still a young man who works hard.

The most important thing is that in today's situation, Gaozi is neither a wealthy family nor a poor person, in between, and is well versed in many ways between families and ordinary people.

Such a person is worth Chu Nan's gamble.

If Gao Zi had the cultivation of the four realms upward, Chu Nan would inevitably look at Gao Zi even more.

Chu Nan said with a smile: "You go and get busy with your work for the time being, and then I will settle you when I have everything straightened out." ”

"I'm not blind, everything is in my eyes."

Gao Zi bowed deeply after hearing this, and hurriedly left the central tent.

And at this time, outside the central tent, all the people who participated in the exam arrived.

"What is the avenue in the heart, is today's exam questions, improvisation, can be written at will." Huang Feng urged Zhenyuan, and his deep voice surged through the heavens and the earth here, impacting the soul of every reader.

Chu Nan also opened the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, concentrating on carefully flipping through the folds.

The pain of copywriting is actually far better than the pain of being stuffed on the side, and there can be no slightest contempt and casualness.
