There is no doubt that the origin of this bottle, like the black box, is also very mysterious.

He couldn't solve its puzzles for the time being.

In the evening, Ren Pingsheng, Ruan Tang, and Xiaowan returned to Yueyang City to stay.

Although the Dalu army was defeated, the Qi army did not continue to advance, and took the opportunity to take Yuzhou Province under its command.

Instead, around the Wenchang River, the construction of permanent fortifications began.

There are many reasons why we have not chosen to move forward at present.

First, the unification of the eight southern provinces has just been completed and the establishment of the Qi State is being carried out, and the newly occupied provinces are being digested, and the economy, management, people's livelihood, and industry must be reformed and developed.

The second is to leave a large area of land in Yuzhou as a strategic buffer, which can maintain temporary stability in the south, and once it advances to the north of Yuzhou, it will border Jingzhou at that time, and it is very likely to be sniped by the combined forces of the eastern and western armies of Dalu.

"The combat experience brought about by the real war cannot be completely replaced by the exercise, and after this war, the Qi army has basically transformed into a nearly modern army. However, the number of 200,000 regular soldiers is not enough to support the requirements of multi-front operations.

At present, the regular army of Qi has expanded to 500,000, but in addition to the 50,000 recruits recruited before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the remaining 250,000 recruits are still undergoing training and reorganization, and it will take at least three months to form a preliminary combat effectiveness.

And the production of various types of ammunition and weapons also takes time to accumulate ······"

Ren Pingsheng returned to the study, picked up a pen, and recorded it in the notebook while analyzing the power in his hands.

This time, the war was fought in a hearty manner, and the Daru Central Army was wiped out in one day.

But as soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

More than 200,000 regular soldiers, hundreds of thousands of militiamen, and logistics personnel, mobilized far more than one million, the consumption of people eating and chewing, the consumption of fuel and coal, coupled with the continuous intensive bombardment, the shells thrown out, as if cast of gold and silver, Wuzhou has accumulated and produced materials for many years are almost exhausted!

What the Qi State needs now is to recuperate for a period of time, and then try to recover the northern land.

"Young master, Huang Wenguang is here."

Ren Pingsheng had just finished writing his diary, and was about to call Ruan Tang Xiaowan to go for a walk in the garden, when Xiaowan came over to report.

So, Ren Pingsheng went to the garden with Huang Wenguang.

"Your Highness, Qi Feng City just sent a telegram today, and the results of this year's national examination have come out."

He followed Ren Pingsheng's side, slightly half a step behind, and reported to Ren Pingsheng.

This year is a year of violent turmoil, since the beginning of the year after the Jingzhou earthquake, Wuzhou began to actively prepare for war, and it did not take long for war to break out, unify the south, and establish the state of Qi.

During this time, it was a critical time to fight with Dalu, and various university graduates were anxiously waiting for the national examination in anticipation and speculation, waiting for the news of the national examination.

It was not overdue, it still started in August and was held on time.

However, this year's national examination also has a big difficulty.

That is, except for Wuzhou, the remaining seven and a half provinces newly occupied do not have a systematic education system, and the scholars in these provinces are not clear about the content involved in the national examination.

After the argument of the Department of Education, this year's examination was finally divided into two ranks.

The first list of examinees is more comprehensive, mainly examining the candidates' logical thinking, language comprehension, current affairs understanding, decision-making analysis and other abilities, aimed at Wuzhou candidates.

The first list also focuses on the examination of writing and thinking, and examines language, logic, and policy theory, while reducing the targeted examination of current politics, industry, economy, etc. in the questions, and is more friendly to candidates who have the fame of the old dynasty in the newly occupied provinces.

"How many people have been hired?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

At present, although officials have been delegated to the newly occupied provinces, there are basically only the top leaders of each province, county, and county, and at best they have set up a skeleton, and those officials who operate under the skeleton are still in the old situation.

The history of Wuzhou proves that these officials, who are in collusion with the local gentry family, cannot be of the same mind as the government when they go against their own interests, and they either resist openly or covertly.

If we really want to pass on the ideas of the central government, implement the power, and implement the policies, we still need to continuously improve this structure.

This requires a large number of grassroots officials to enrich the counties, counties and towns; It takes a large number of literate people to ensure the operation of the organization; A large number of police were needed as violent institutions capable of suppressing the entrenched gentry in the region.

Grasp with both hands, both hands should be hard.

Huang Wenguang said: "There are 3,200 people on the Wuzhou list, including 300 people on the first list, 600 people on the second list, and 2,300 people on the third list.

The remaining seven provinces have a total of 900 people, 20 people in the first list, 180 people in the second list, and 700 people in the third list.

There are 4,100 people in the two lists. ”

The so-called one-list, two-list, and three-list are corresponding to the three levels of province, prefecture, and county, and are arranged according to the scores, and will be divided into provinces, counties, and county yamen to observe the government in the future. After the end of the government observation, there will also be a score from the local yamen official department, and then it will be arranged according to the score.

"After the expansion of the national examination, there are a lot of people who have been recruited. However, it is still not enough to be assigned to the eight provinces. ”

The five levels of government of Qi State, from the central government to the provinces, counties, counties, and towns, need more people the further down. 4,100 people seems to be a lot, but even in Wuzhou Province, it can't make any splashes, let alone eight provinces in the country.

"The three-list system is a reference to the old system of the Jing Dynasty, and now it has gradually failed to keep up with our pace of development.

At present, the Ministry of Officials and Administration has urged all provinces, counties, and counties to establish a compilation file, and the future recruitment examination can be carried out through the job requirements put forward by the yamen at all levels.

In addition, we can also add provincial examinations in each province in addition to the national examination, and specially select and recruit officials of each yamen, and we can relax the conditions, and middle school students can also be selected. ”

Ren Pingsheng thought about it and said.

In his vision, in the future, the national examination of Qi State will be equivalent to the selection of students from Chinese countries on the earth, and the selection and transfer of students from the central government, and after the end of the government, they will be able to have a brighter future.

The provincial examination is equivalent to the ordinary civil service examination, and after being admitted, he will serve as a clerk in the yamen at the provincial level and below. There are also opportunities for selection and promotion, but in general, there are fewer opportunities at the grassroots level and more for operational work, but for most people, it is still an opportunity.

In this way, with the abundance of officials at all levels in the future, the amount of recruitment for the national examination can also be reduced, after all, these are all official reserves, and the best of the best must be selected.

When Huang Wenguang heard this, after thinking for a while, he admired and said: "What His Highness said is very true, this can better solve the pain point of the lack of manpower in the yamen at all levels. ”

"It's autumn now, after you go back, let's see if you can plan another provincial exam before the year."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Yes!"

Huang Wenguang replied respectfully.

After he left, Xiao Wan came over: "Young master, the ship has been arranged, and it will board the ship at the port of Xianxia County tomorrow." ”

"It's been quite a few days since I left Qifeng County."

Ren Pingsheng stretched his waist, stretched out his hand to take Xiao Wan's little hand, and sat in the gazebo in the garden.

Xiao Wan was pulled and sat on the young master's lap, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Hey."

Seeing Xiao Wan's reaction, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help laughing.

This girl has been together for so long, and she still loves to be shy.

Ren Pingsheng hugged her waist and touched her little belly, and the two laughed.

At this time, Ruan Tang ran over from the corridor, and when she saw the two of them together, she suddenly paused, and when she saw that both of them were looking at her, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "It's not the right time for me to come." ”

After saying this, Ruan Tang suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

I couldn't help but secretly say: "He won't say: You came at the right time." Then hold me and Xiaowan in your arms, right? ”

Fortunately, it did not develop in the direction of Li Tanhua, Xiao Wan was afraid of irritating Ruan Tang, so she took the initiative to walk out of the young master's warm embrace and sat on the stone bench next to him.

Ren Pingsheng beckoned to Ruan Tang and let her sit on another stone bench.

Picturesque brought a table of drinks, side dishes and fruit plates.

She sat on a smooth rock outside the pavilion and looked at the three masters.

The atmosphere was relaxed.

The night breeze caressed their hair, she put her arms on her knees, her hands held her cheeks, listening to the masters talking about family and state affairs, imagining the future, and sometimes a burst of laughter came.

"It's good tonight, and it's good if we stay tonight."

Picturesque looked up at the bright moon in the sky like a large jade plate, the moonlight shone on the glazed tiles of the pavilion, and a layer of green smoke seemed to rise on the tiles, holding the light. The flowers and plants in the garden are full of shadows, you can see but you can't see it really, the bright black reflection of the bright moon in the pool, the residual lotus on it has withered, but the head of the lotus shower is still stubbornly erect, and there is a hazy beauty everywhere.

But beautiful feelings are often short-lived.

The next morning, Ruhua woke up early and packed her simple luggage.

After leaving the gate, he followed the prince and queen into the car.

After the convoy arrived in Xianxia County, a river boat with a length of more than 30 meters on the wharf was docked on the shore.

Ren Pingsheng is not in a hurry to go back, take a boat along the Wenchang River, and then turn into the Blue Yangtze River, it is only one day, you can also take a closer look at the scenery along the coast, and appreciate the great rivers and mountains of Qi country.

"The ship has a turbodiesel engine."

Ruan Tang said.

The ship was huge, with three floors above deck and two more below deck. It can fully accommodate a large number of attachés and guards who are following Ren Pingsheng.

"Sister Squish, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wan looked a little stunned when she saw Ruan Tang with her eyes slightly closed and standing on the bow of the deck with her arms outstretched.

"Am I feeling the beating heart and excitement of this ship?"

Ruan Tang said.

"The ship still has emotions?"

Xiao Wan felt that what Ruan Tang said was quite explosive.

"Of course, you can feel the emotions of water, and even want to give consciousness and life to creation, so why can't I feel the emotions of machines?

Maybe one day, I can give life to these machines, too. ”

Ruan Tang said as a matter of course.

"Your abilities have increased?"

Ren Pingsheng asked curiously.

Ruan Tang opened his big eyes and nodded happily: "Well, I have realized something recently, and it should not be far from the fourth awakening." ”

"If you can give life to machines, can you make Transformers like 'Tinder'?"

Ren Pingsheng asked whimsically.

Several people walked towards the suite, located on the main deck.

"Maybe I'll be able to do it later."

Ruan Tang said longingly.

After arriving at the suite, Huang Wenguang sent more than a dozen official documents.

These official documents are from the Ministry of Ministers, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry, as well as from the Ministry of National Defense.

Ren Pingsheng sat on the sofa and looked at the official documents.

Xiao Wan looked at the interrogation of some high-ranking captives of the Daru Nation by the Night Owl Organization.

Ruan Tang disassembled a lump of metal on the side, which was suspended in the air, constantly changing shape, and as they turned into fine parts, they finally assembled into a small robot.

The robot walks on the tabletop, with flexible joints, body coordination, can run and adjust, can also backflip, and can also vibrate and make sounds.

Ren Pingsheng raised his head: "He moves by himself, or you control it." ”

Ruan Tang smiled at Ren Pingsheng: "I control it." However, when you put a power source on it, it can move on its own. After installing the chip and programming it, its balance and motion control are definitely stronger than those humanized robots on the earth.

Combined with the current algorithms on the earth, or the current AI, the performance and application scenarios of this robot will be many. ”

As she spoke, the palm-sized robot jumped hard, and directly crossed a distance of more than two meters, jumped to the small square table in front of Ren Pingsheng, and stood there steadily.

Ren Pingsheng picked up the robot and looked at it carefully.

Because it is a part that Ruan Tang directly made with his ability, each part fits perfectly. He gently moves the robot, and unlike toys, figures, and models, it has a very textured feel.

"If it can be fine······"

Ruan Tang said.

She can feel the simple emotions of these machines now, and she feels that she can enlighten them in the future, giving them feelings and consciousness.

According to this world, it's like turning on the wisdom of these machines and helping them become demons.

"Does that mean you've created a strong artificial intelligence?"

Ren Pingsheng remembered her wish list, and now there is only this one left that has not been crossed out.

Ruan Tang thought about it: "Forget it." ”

Ren Pingsheng threw the robot in his hand onto the table, the robot quickly adjusted its body shape in the air, and finally landed firmly on the table, and returned to Ruan Tang's hand with a strong jump.

Ren Pingsheng picked up an official document again.

"A joint official document from the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Highways, the Ministry of Political and Legal Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

Ren Pingsheng opened it and took a look.

It is about the arrangement and use of the 210,000 Daru captives. (End of chapter)
