At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 172 is the research institute for the selection of talents by the Academy of Sciences
Zhang Qijiu and Gong Bosui looked at each other, and then they turned their gazes to the general Cheng De who was sitting at the desk in the middle.

Ever since the general entered the study, he has been flipping through the answer sheets of science candidates who were corrected by the officials of the household department.

Sometimes frowning in thought, and sometimes showing joy, this scene made Zhang Qijiu and Gong Bosui look at each other in dismay.

Therefore, they have no intention to devote themselves to the affairs in their hands.

Cheng De rummaged through the answer sheets of candidates who had been corrected in the science department, hoping to find some great talents.

Unexpectedly, it really made him discover a few strange talents.

First of all, it was Ni Zan who impressed Cheng De deeply.

This person only got one math question wrong in the first science course, but the basic knowledge questions of the Sizhou Army were all empty.

However, this person also participated in the selected medical examination, and after a comprehensive calculation, this person's score was ranked No. 6 in science.

Secondly, there are two people who got all the math questions right, one named Ding Ju and the other named Jia Heng.

In Jia Heng's science and mathematics answer sheet, many of the mathematics questions answered two or even three solutions. Even Cheng De had to admire this person after reading it.

Jia Heng's Sizhou Army basic knowledge test is also all right, so his score is No. 1 in science.As for the optional medical exam, he did not take it.

Next, I have to talk about this man named Ding Ju.

This person's solution to the math problem in the answer sheet can be said to be a different way, which makes people overwhelmed, and it is also completely correct.

His strength in mathematical thinking can be seen from this answer sheet.

And this person made only one mistake in the basic general knowledge test of the Sizhou Army.Therefore, it is ranked No.2 in science.Similarly, he did not take the optional medical exam.

In addition to these three people, there are two people who deserve Cheng De's attention, one is Zhang Dingsheng and the other is Chen Shangde.

Zhang Dingsheng is Song Lian's disciple, and now he is young, but he did not expect that he could be included in the examinations of Confucianism and Science this time, and his grades were not bad.

In Cheng De's view, Zhang Dingsheng has great potential.In the future, he thought, he should pay more attention to Zhang Dingsheng.

Among the candidates for the science answer sheet, there was another candidate, Chen Shangde, who was the first to use graphics to help solve math problems. The entire answer sheet was drawn by him, and the graphics were derived from gossip.However, his basic knowledge of the Sizhou Army only got one question right.This topic is also related to Cheng De. The topic is "Who is the general who conquered the Sizhou army?" '.In addition, this person didn't even take the medicine exam, so he failed the exam.

If Cheng De hadn't re-read the candidate's answer sheet, he might have missed this talent.

Cheng De thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Qijiu inadvertently.

Zhang Qijiu was looking at Cheng De at this time, but he never thought that his eyes met Cheng De's. Zhang Qijiu's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he quickly lowered his head.

As a subordinate, Zhang Qijiu blushed a little because he was seen by his superior because of paddling.

Cheng De looked at Zhang Qijiu who was bowing his head, and turned his gaze to Gong Bosui.

Gong Bosui was engrossed in the affairs in hand at this time, as if he didn't notice that someone was watching him.

This scene caught Zhang Qijiu's eyes, and he couldn't help secretly admiring it. It was also paddling, so Gong Bo was really a thief.

Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui and said, "Gong Bosui, go to the offices of the officials of the various ministries and pass on my orders. Those who score in the top [-] in Confucianism must report to the General's Mansion before May [-]. As for Except for Zhang Dingsheng, Jia Heng, Ni Zan, Chen Shangde, and Ding Ju who are among the top [-] in the science examination, I have other arrangements. Among the rest, if they also choose medicine, they will be dismissed. Go to the Imperial Hospital under the Academy of Sciences, and Wang Lu will arrange it, and Lu will arrange the rest to the Ministry of Industry."

Hearing this, Gong Bo raised his head and looked at Cheng De: "General, how should we arrange for the two hundred scholars who have passed the Confucianism examination?"

Cheng De thought for a while, and then said directly: "These people will be discussed and arranged by the directors of the various ministries. Remember, if these people want to enter the Ministry of War, Academy of Sciences, and Ministry of Industry, they must prepare as I said before. Arrange for a three-month internship."

Gong Bo then nodded: "This subordinate will go now."

After Cheng De watched Gong Bosui leave, he turned his attention to Zhang Qijiu: "The Chen Ting recommended by He Jiusi before, how is his investigation going?"

Zhang Qijiu was stunned, and after recovering, he quickly replied: "General Qi, according to the news from the brothers below, this Chen Ting is indeed from Luotian with that Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui. Moreover, Chen Ting's father and Xu Shouhui's father Because of the dispute over a well, Chen Ting's father became seriously ill. Before he died, he entrusted Chen Ting to a Taoist priest. There is no way to find out the information about this Taoist priest. But..."

Zhang Qijiu paused, and continued: "The information submitted by the brothers below mentioned that this Taoist is good at medicine and is proficient in various Taoism methods. But according to the information, the subordinates infer that this Taoist has a whole body of force, and it is extremely high. In addition, this Taoist should still know the art of war. This is what my subordinates learned from testing Chen Ting."

Cheng De nodded: "Since Chen Ting is not a spy sent by Tianwan, then you should find a courtyard to settle Chen Ting properly. This person seems to be quite capable, let him be a hundred for now." Head of household, just let him stay with me for a while. When you settle down with Chen Ting, tell him my arrangements for him and ask him to report to the General's Mansion tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhang Qijiu bowed and replied.

"Currently Deng Youde is still in charge of the assessment of martial arts, should it be the assessment of the art of war?" Cheng De looked at the door of the study.

Zhang Qijiu hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the general, if it is calculated according to the time, it should indeed be the time for the art of war assessment."

Cheng De nodded lightly, then turned to look at Zhang Qijiu: "You send someone to invite Zhang Dingsheng, Jia Heng, Ni Zan, Chen Shangde, and Ding Ju, and I want to meet them. Whether the Academy of Sciences can grow in the future? I am very optimistic about these five people."

Zhang Qijiu nodded.

"By the way, these five people are people I fancy. They will definitely have a great fortune in the Academy of Sciences in the future. I hope that these people will not have any mistakes. Is there enough Jinyiwei manpower? If so, I will give everyone secretly Send two good men to protect it. If not enough, I will allow you Jin Yiwei to increase your manpower." Cheng De's tone was calm.

Zhang Qijiu: "I hope the general finds out that the Jinyiwei must have enough manpower. The subordinates will definitely send someone to protect them."

Cheng De: "By the way, Tao Chengdao also sent someone to protect him secretly. This person previously contributed a lot to the improvement of the range of our Sizhou Army's firecrackers. Now how many new firecrackers have been forged by our Sizhou Army? ?”

Zhang Qijiu: "Currently, there should be hundreds of them."

Cheng De was silent.

Hundreds of them are far from enough.

Cheng De: "Can't this be mass-produced? Where is the problem?"

Zhang Qijiu was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Currently, it's impossible. The problem lies in the material, the forging method, the assembly, and the fuel."

Cheng De frowned and said nothing.

a long time.

Cheng Decai said to Zhang Qijiu: "I will find a way to solve this matter. Now go and send someone to invite the five people I just mentioned!"

"Yes." Zhang Qijiu bowed politely to Cheng De, and quickly left Cheng De's study.

After watching Zhang Qijiu leave, Cheng De rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly.

I have read so many novels in this previous life. Why did those people travel back to the ancient times and improve their firearms casually, and they looked very relaxed. How could it be so different when they really changed to themselves?
Cheng De remained silent. Regarding the modification of firearms, all he could do was give as much support as possible to his subordinates.

After all, he majored in civil engineering in his previous life, and he was just a scaffolder on a construction site. He couldn't recall much about how firearms were made.Therefore, he can only rely on those talents.

Obviously, Cheng De placed this hope on the talents of science.

The five people he wanted to meet were talents he valued extremely.

I hope that these five people can really bring a surprise to themselves in the future!

Time is passing slowly.

When the moon hid behind the dark clouds, Cheng De didn't wait for those five people. Instead, at this moment, Deng Youde begged to see him.

When Deng Youde saw Cheng De, he bowed and said, "Deng Youde pays his respects to the general!"

Cheng De nodded, and looked at Deng Youde with a gentle expression: "You have worked hard on the election of the martial arts. Who are the talents in the martial arts this time?"

Deng Youde showed joy on his face: "General, there are really a few talents in this martial arts election. The subordinates have been selected through layers, including Geng Junyong, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Hua Yunlong, Zheng Yuchun, Zheng Yulin, but apart from these There are also a few talents that my subordinates think are good, but they have not passed the examination of martial arts."

"Oh? Tell me." Cheng De's eyes lit up.

"Hu Dahai, Li Feng, and Fang Hongwei. None of these three have passed the art of war, but they have performed very well in other fields. And." Deng Youde showed hesitation when he said this.

Cheng De: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Deng Youde: "Hu Dahai is from my hometown."

Cheng De: "If this person is really capable, you don't need to worry."

Deng Youde breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Hu Dahai still has some abilities. This subordinate guarantees with his official position, I believe the general will not be disappointed."

Cheng De didn't answer immediately, but asked: "Those who passed the martial arts assessment will be awarded the title of head of a hundred households. Sizhou City has increased its army to more than 4 people, so they will be included in the new army." Go among the recruited soldiers. As for Hu Dahai, he will follow me for the time being. Li Feng and Fang Hongwei will follow you."

Hearing this, Deng Youde kept smiling.

At the same time, Deng Youde secretly said in his heart: I have made money this time. Li Feng and Fang Hongwei can be regarded as two powerful generals, and although these two are illiterate, they are clever. If I teach them the art of war in the future, then, Sooner or later, these two will become his right-hand men.

Cheng De: "He Jiusi is in charge of recruiting soldiers, which is still going on. Besides this, I want to entrust you with one thing."

Deng Youde: "General, please tell me."

Cheng De: "I want to leave it to you to handle the matter of medical soldiers in Sizhou City. He Jiusi is currently in charge of recruiting recruits, so he can't spare too much energy. It just so happens that you have time now, so you can help me share more one time."

Deng Youde nodded to Cheng De's calm gaze: "This subordinate will definitely do his best to handle this matter well."

Cheng De looked at Deng Youde with satisfaction: "I will leave this matter to you, I am at ease."

A wry smile appeared on Deng Youde's face: "General, what request does this medical soldier have?"

Cheng De didn't hesitate at all: "It's fine to be smart, but you have to be pure in character."

Deng Youde was silent for a while: "General, can Jin Yiwei assist me?"

Cheng De understood Deng Youde's meaning. To judge whether a person's character is pure or not, he had to know all his information. Jin Yiwei is the best at this kind of thing, and leaving it to Jin Yiwei will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Cheng De nodded: "You should discuss this matter with Zhang Qijiu."

Deng Youde nodded.

Suddenly, Zhang Qijiu appeared with Zhang Dingsheng, Jia Heng, Ni Zan, Chen Shangde and Ding Ju.

Seeing this, Deng Youde quickly resigned and left.

Before leaving, Deng Youde and Zhang Qijiu talked about what Cheng De explained before, and Zhang Qijiu also promised to cooperate well.

After Zhang Qijiu brought the five people to the study, he left the study consciously, leaving the study to Cheng De, Zhang Dingsheng and others.

Zhang Dingsheng, Jia Heng, Ni Zan, Chen Shangde, and Ding Ju all saluted Cheng De nervously at this time: "Meet General Zhenglu!"

Cheng De directly waved his hand and said, "I'm waiving the ceremony. I'm here to see you, and I want you to do something."

Hearing this, Zhang Dingsheng's eyes showed doubts.

Jaheng was silent, with a calm face.

Ni Zan was extremely excited, looked at Cheng De, and kept saying in his heart: I must find an opportunity to tell the general, let him order the genius doctor in Sizhou City to help cure my wife and eldest son.

Chen Shangde is still in a trance at the moment, and he can't even believe it.He didn't expect that after failing all the rankings, he was summoned by General Zhenglu. From what he looked like, he was going to be made an official.This sudden surprise made Chen Shangde's heart extremely complicated for a while.

Ding Ju had a confident smile on his face.

"Do you all know the Academy of Sciences?" Cheng De looked at Zhang Dingsheng and the other five with gentle expressions.

Zhang Dingsheng and the other five nodded.

Cheng De: "Then do you know how much I value this Academy of Sciences?"

Zhang Dingsheng and the other five shook their heads.

"The thing I want to entrust to you is that I want you to join the new research institute of the Academy of Sciences. This research institute is mainly responsible for researching various things under the control of the Sizhou Army. For example, before Tao Chengdao improved the firearms and increased the range. It is aimed at improving the firing range of the firecracker. So, can we study how to improve the accuracy of the firecracker’s shooting? Also, can the firing range of this firecracker be improved again? Even, can this kind of firecracker be produced thousands of times a day? If not, what conditions need to be met? These are the directions that can be studied.”

"Don't underestimate this research institute. In my vision, if this research institute develops a large number of powerful firecrackers and cannons that can kill the enemy, then this chaotic world can be calmed down earlier, and you will not only Therefore, at least you can be named a Marquis, and you will even leave your name in history in the future."

Zhang Dingsheng: "General, is this research institute mainly responsible for researching firecrackers and cannons?"

Cheng De: "That's right. At present, these two directions are the main ones. Of course, you can also study other things. However, I hope you can all understand. If the world can be calmed down earlier, the people all over the world will benefit. This kind of credit will also be recorded in the history books. Therefore, I hope you can all understand my intentions. Zhang Dingsheng, if you join the research institute, then starting tomorrow, you won’t have to stay in Sizhou College after noon , go directly to the research institute under the Academy of Sciences. I will tell Song Lian about this."

Zhang Dingsheng nodded.

Immediately, Cheng De looked at Jia Heng, Ni Zan, Chen Shangde, Ding Ju and the other four.

Jia Heng smiled wryly: "I don't know what official position the general gave us, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my family?"

Cheng De thought for a while, and then said: "I claim to the public that you are counselors from the General's Mansion to join the army, but you usually work in the research institute under the Academy of Sciences."

Jia Heng: "Then there is nothing wrong with this subordinate."

Ni Zan suddenly knelt down in front of Cheng De. This scene shocked everyone present.

Cheng De looked at Ni Zan: "Who are you?"

Ni Zan kowtowed instantly: "My subordinate's wife and eldest son have been ill for many years, and my subordinates have spent the family's money and sought medical treatment everywhere. Before I came, I heard from the doctor that there might be hope for my wife in Sizhou City. and my eldest son’s illness, my subordinate immediately took my wife and eldest son to Sizhou City. However, my subordinate has inquired that the cost of diagnosis and treatment by a miracle doctor in Sizhou City, even if I sell my life, is probably far away. Not enough. Therefore, I want to ask the general to help me, so that those miracle doctors can treat my wife and eldest son."

Cheng De stared at Ni Zan for a while: "I remember that you also chose medicine as a science course this time."

Ni Zan was stunned: "I hope the general knows that this medicine is just a matter of memorizing a few medical books temporarily for ten days, just to prepare for the exam, but the subordinate knows very little about medicine."

Cheng De was startled, and thought to himself: Talent!

If he remembered correctly, Wang Lu's medical questions came from more than a dozen medical books.

Could it be that Ni Zan has a photographic memory?
Cheng De suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said to Ni Zan: "I agree to your request. Tomorrow, I will have Wang Lu, Dr. Liu and other genius doctors come to you. Where do you live now?"

Ni Zan looked a little embarrassed: "This subordinate lives in a dilapidated Town God's Temple to the south of Sizhou City."

Cheng De sighed softly, and shouted out the door: "Zhang Qijiu!"

Zhang Qijiu responded.

Cheng De asked Zhang Qijiu: "Do you know the dilapidated Town God's Temple to the south of Sizhou City?"

Zhang Qijiu nodded: "I know that."

Cheng De pointed to Ni Zan: "Take him and bring all his family members to the General's Mansion, and ask Madam to arrange the room."

Zhang Qijiu replied: "Yes."

Zhang Qijiu looked at Ni Zan.

Ni Zan wept with joy at this moment, and quickly kowtowed to Cheng De: "Thank you, General, thank you, General! General, Ni Zan will never forget the kindness of your life, and he will definitely serve the General with his life!"

Cheng De reminded Ni Zan: "Your wife and your eldest son are still seriously ill. It's cold at night, so you should go and pick them up earlier, so as not to suffer from the cold and aggravate the condition."

After Ni Zan kowtowed to Cheng De again, he stood up and looked at Zhang Qijiu.

At this time Cheng De suddenly said: "Take the carriage in my yard and go there."

Zhang Qijiu nodded heavily, and shocked Ni Zan to leave quickly.

Zhang Dingsheng and the others in the room looked at Cheng De with a trace of respect, and Chen Shangde came out and said, "General, I am willing to join the research institute and serve the general."

Ding Ju also said at this time: "General, I will work hard to develop firecrackers and cannons."

When Cheng De heard this, he showed a satisfied smile: "Since you are all willing to join the research institute, I will naturally let you have peace of mind. I will send someone to protect your family, and no one will hurt them. In addition , each of you is paid twelve taels a month. During the holidays, my general’s mansion will give your family some extra subsidies, and I will never treat your family badly.”

"Also, since you have joined the research institute, I will give each of you a place in Sizhou Academy and a place in Sizhou Military Academy. The meaning of this place is literally, you can make your own decisions Who will give this quota to. Whether it is Sizhou Academy or Sizhou Military Academy, those who hold your quota will be free of charge during the academy."

"Remember what I said, if I pacify the world in the future, you will at least be able to become marquises. Therefore, I hope that you can really create that kind of powerful cannon and firecrackers, and end this troubled world as soon as possible."

"Don't tell others what I told you."

After all, Zhang Dingsheng and the others stared at Cheng De with rounded eyes.

Their hearts were pounding, it was the sound of a heartbeat.
