"Your Majesty, this is the information that Wei Zhongxian just sent"

In the imperial study, the eunuch respectfully held a book and sent it to Qin Hao's table.

"Oh, is there any news again?"

Qin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, took the fold and opened it to look at it.

I saw that it was written, 'Li Fan, the city lord of Lucheng, together with the deputy city lord and the commander of the city guards, refused to accept the holy decree and has been taken. The three major families of the Li family, the Feng family, and the Liu family in Lucheng, totaling 1,127 people, have all been detained, and no one in the three clans has escaped, and Lucheng has been controlled. The city lord of Huifeng City was successfully shocked, and now he has stepped down from the position of city lord, and the city has been controlled by Wei Xingji, a four-rank military general......

Qin Hao looked at the messages carefully, a total of thirty-two.

"Thirty-two more cities have been completely subdued," a smile bloomed on Qin Hao's face, "plus the cities that have been subdued before, there are now eighty-three cities that have fallen into my hands."

Qin Hao's eyes lit up slightly, although the process of recovering these cities was not as smooth sailing as Huifeng City, but he was able to control the eighty-three cities in such a short period of time, and the result was not bad. Although most of these 38 cities are small towns, most of them are county-level cities if you count the cities divided by the county system.

"With these eighty-three cities, there is no need to be too anxious about the rest," Qin Hao thought in his heart, "The next thing to do is to arrange people to take over the major cities."

That's the hardest question.

There is no shortage of top masters in Daqin now, and there is even a super existence like Zhang Sanfeng who is enough to fight beyond the ranks.

There are also Zhang Juzheng, Fan Li, Li Si, Sima Guang, Huang Xie and others in the court, which is enough to control the overall situation.

But to control the entire Great Qin, it is not enough to rely on Zhang Juzheng and a few people, and a large number of people are needed to cooperate.

"One hundred and twenty cities in Great Qin, divided into five prefectures, twenty-four counties, and ninety-one counties, in addition to the positions that have been set, a large number of other positions must be set up to assist in order to completely control the situation, so that at least thousands of people are needed."

"Now that the family is on the same page as me, it is obviously impossible to let them out of the ranks, and the words of the children of the cold family..."Qin Hao's eyes flashed, "Most of the scattered cultivators of the cold family came at the recruitment order, and there are many drawbacks, and they should not be used much."

The recruitment order was set by Qin Hao when he ascended the throne in order to consolidate the court as soon as possible and get rid of the confinement of the family, and all kinds of drawbacks are also obvious.

First of all, it is difficult to systematically define whether a person is suitable to enter the court and become a minister under the recruitment order.

Secondly, the recruitment order is subject to extremely strict geographical restrictions, and anyone who intends to enter the court as an official must report to the Yunjing Recruitment Hall.

For cultivators in the Innate Realm, this is a no-brainer.

However, not all congenital realm powerhouses are suitable for entering the court.

Being able to cultivate to the innate realm can only mean that his cultivation talent is good, and other aspects are indeed not necessarily true, and vice versa.

"It seems that the imperial examination is going to be put on the agenda"

As for how to select materials and use talents, Qin Hao already had a draft when he ascended the throne, but because the time had not come, he retreated to the second.

"Xuan Zhang Juzheng, Sima Guang, Su Qin, Fan Li......"

Qin Hao's faint voice sounded.

"Yes"

The eunuch departed.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Juzheng, Sima Guang and other seven people arrived.

The monarchs and ministers saluted and sat down.

"This king summoned you here for one thing" Qin Hao went straight to the topic, "How are you doing now about the imperial examination that I asked you to prepare?"

The imperial examination is the method of talent screening set by Qin Hao, and Qin Hao sent out the task early.

"Your Majesty" Zhang Juzheng said, "For the imperial examination, the general regulations have been finalized, and whether it is feasible or not still needs to be decided by Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng said, took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao opened the fold and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Juzheng's seven people are all waiting patiently, and this book is mainly written by Zhang Juzheng and Sima Guang, and the other five people are assistants.

As for why Zhang Juzheng and Sima Guang are the main ones, it is actually very simple, because the other people have not really experienced the imperial examination, and Zhang Juzheng is different.

One of them was in a high position in the Song Dynasty and the other in a high position in the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally knew everything about the imperial examination.

"Not bad, not bad"

After carefully reading all the contents of the fold, Qin Hao bowed slightly.

It is worthy of being the hand of seven people, and it is simply seamless in terms of structure, and even if it can be implemented smoothly, not only the Great Qin Kingdom, but also the talents in the other three kingdoms will be attracted.

"List all the officials needed in the one hundred and twenty cities of Great Qin, and distribute them according to the rankings obtained in this imperial examination, and the rest will be implemented according to what is said above, and Zhang Juzheng will still be the leader," Qin Hao said.

"Obey"

The seven responded and then left one after another.

"The first imperial examination will be held in three months, and then I will no longer have to worry about the lack of talents, and the one hundred and twenty cities of Great Qin will also completely fall under my control" Qin Hao's eyes flashed.

......

The next morning

"On the orders of my king, the recruitment order will be revoked from today"

Wei Zhongxian held the golden holy decree in his hand and read it aloud.

"What?

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's words fell, there was silence in the court.

Whether it is an official from a family or an official from a poor family, the mood is full of ups and downs.

Then, a chaotic discussion sounded in the court, "The monarch has revoked the recruitment order, is this to get closer to the family again?"

"Is my humble family really just a tool for the monarch to consolidate the court?"

"It seems that the monarch is also feeling the pressure"

"After all, the Qin State is the Qin State of the sect, not the Qin State of his Qin family"

......

The faces of the poor cultivators were extremely ugly.

It was because of the recruitment order that they had the opportunity to enter the court and become one of them.

Now that the recruitment order has been cancelled, does it mean that the monarch is about to abandon them?

Even, they thought of something even more terrifying.

These people who have no background and whose strength is far inferior to the family's poor cultivation will definitely be targeted by the family, and what will be their situation without the protection of the monarch?

Compared with the apprehension of the poor cultivators, the officials of the family showed a smug smile on their faces.

In their opinion, the monarch finally could not bear the pressure and wanted to delegate power to the family.

However, Wei Zhongxian's next words made the faces of everyone present change again.

I only heard Wei Zhongxian say in a loud voice, "From today onwards, the selection and use of talents in my Great Qin Kingdom will be measured, and those who want to enter the court, except for the special approval of the monarch, the rest must pass the imperial examination."

"No one is allowed to arrange a position for anyone who is in the DPRK without authorization, but anyone who violates the law will be immediately executed."

"Imperial examinations? Is this a fair competition between the family and the poor family for all official positions?"

"The king's move seems to be more passive than the recruitment order."

The faces of the officials of the family became extremely ugly, while the expressions of the poor cultivators returned to normal, they didn't care how Qin Hao chose and used talents, they just needed to know that he didn't plan to snub the cold family and get close to the family.

"The first imperial examination will be held after March, this is the first imperial examination of the Qin State, the monarch has set a heavy reward, all the top ten results, can be a high-ranking official of a government, the official worship three products. Those who enter the hundred, can worship the four products, and can be the official of a county. Those who rank in the top 500 can be officials of a county, with a minimum of seven grades and a maximum of five grades."

"His Majesty will be the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and the political cabinet advocates Ju Zheng as the deputy examiner, and Li Si, Sima Guang, Fan Li, Su Qin, Huang Xie, and Fu Zhu are six people to assist. All officials, families, and individuals, who dare to obstruct the conduct of the imperial examination, will be killed."

"Another order Bai Qi, Fan Lihua, Lian Po and other three generals, from today to open the city pass, all people from other countries only need to check the identity is correct can be released, people from other countries still have the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination, and for visitors from other countries, the three armies have the responsibility of escorting."
