Kai Fu Han

Chapter 114 Occupying Penglai 8
The big man raised his arms and crossed them to block. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin'ang was so powerful. He only heard two clear "clicks" and the big man's forearm was broken off by Liu Xin'ang. Following Liu Xin'ang's punch, his forearm was smashed back. On his own face, it was as if the staining plate had been smashed, and his face was immediately covered with a lake of blood.

When Liu Xinang retracted his smashed arm, he saw the big man hanging his arms, whimpering and screaming in pain, and knelt down in front of Liu Xinang, without any of the "mighty and domineering" he had just now.

"Everyone lies on the ground with their heads in their hands. For those who are standing, don't blame me for being blind!" Liu Xin'ang drew out his long knife, pointed at the thugs and gamblers around him and shouted.

The most powerful boss in the gambling house couldn't even catch this man's bare-handed attack. Now this man even pulled out a knife, which frightened all the gamblers in the gambling house and crawled to the ground with their heads in their hands. Some of the thugs also recognized him. Sorry, only a few loyal men were still standing, but they were knocked down by a few punches from the other three warriors.

The officers and soldiers who followed behind and came in from three doors respectively had only the job of cleaning the "battlefield".

……

"A total of 37 large and small gambling houses were raided, and 320 principals and accomplices who organized gambling were arrested. Gambling funds were collected in the amount of 13 taels of silver." Luo Cheng reported to Liu Xinqihui.

"It's really abominable that there are so many people and so many gambling houses who regard our Xinghan Alliance as nothing. And it's really a heinous crime to have so much money wasted in vain. According to the previous plan, let all these people work and renovate and repair the city wall. , roads, bridges, docks, etc.," Liu Xinqi said.

"It has been arranged. When will the second announcement be sent out?" Luo Cheng asked.

"We will wait for a few more days to spread the word about the raids on gambling houses and issue a second announcement on May [-]th." Liu Xinqi replied: "Also, the ban on gambling is continuous and permanent. As long as someone is found to be organizing gambling , just arrest them, no matter who they are, they will not be tolerated."

"it is good."

"It's getting dark, you can go back and rest."

……

On May [-], Liu Xinqi came to Penglai Port again, boarded the Laizhou, and sailed towards the open sea.

In the past month, the navy's training has not stopped. Today Liu Xinqi came to inspect and found that the spirit of the navy's officers and soldiers has been greatly different, and they look like an elite division.

"Still no Jin warships were found?" Liu Xinqi asked Gao Yuan.

"No, I don't know if something happened to them." Gao Yuan replied.

"Don't let your guard down." Liu Xinqi replied: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days and I think the Jin Kingdom's offensive may be a land and water attack."

"They attacked Zhao from three routes? Do they still have the strength to attack us from the land route?" Gao Yuan asked doubtfully.

"I thought of a possibility. The Eastern Route Army that attacked Zhao sent a partial division to Dengzhou when they returned, and then the navy attacked from the sea, attacking both land and water. They completely wiped out us at once, leaving us with no chance to escape. No."

"This..." Gao Yuan didn't know what to say after hearing this guess.

"Don't worry, my plan is going very smoothly so far. As long as my plan is successfully implemented, we will no longer have to be afraid of Jin Guo."

"That's good." Gao Yuan replied.

……

"Announcement No. [-] of the first year of Jingyan's reign in the Xinghan Alliance!"

On May [-]th, there were also people reading the announcement in front of the notice board. However, this time it was different from the last time. The people watching below had already had a preliminary understanding of what the Xinghan League was and where it had jurisdiction. They initially believed the announcement. The content is really implemented.

"In view of the inability to effectively implement various policies that benefit the people in Dengzhou, 500 officials are openly recruited. The specific requirements are as follows:
1,…"

The announcement contains various requirements for the personnel to be recruited and recruitment methods.

Time is very tight. The written test for recruitment will be on May [-]th, the interview will be on May [-]th, and the list will be published on May [-]th.

"You Xinghan League actually held the imperial examination. The imperial examination can only be organized by the imperial court." Some bold people shouted under the notice.

The person reading the notice standing in front of the notice replied:
"This is not an imperial examination. Those who pass the imperial examination are officials, and we recruit people who are officials. Officials and officials are not the same."

This was the answer Liu Xinqi gave to everyone who read the announcement. Liu Xinqi guessed that some people would think that the Xinghan League was holding an imperial examination.

Although the answers to officials are different, Liu Xinqi will definitely break down the barriers between officials and officials in the future, and open up a channel for outstanding officials to be promoted to officials.

……

Because there are examples from the previous Notice No. [-], the credibility of Notice No. [-] has been greatly improved.

Except for a small number of scholars who are determined to participate in the imperial examination and become officials, most people who are eligible for the official recruitment have signed up. As of May 2000, the number of applicants has reached nearly [-].

Liu Xinqi stood at the registration site and said to Luo Cheng:

"There are still a lot of literate people in Dengzhou, and we will gradually make use of them in the future."

The conditions for this recruitment are very low. As long as you are literate, you can participate between the ages of 40 and [-], and there is no limit to men, so Liu Xinqi said "literate people."

"If your national education plan can be implemented smoothly, there will never be a shortage of literate people in the future." Luo Cheng said.

"Take your time. Now we can't even find a fraction of the teachers we need for universal education." Liu Xinqi replied: "Do you have statistics on how many women have signed up?"

"There were more than a dozen before, but most of them were canceled after their families brought them here. Now there should only be seven or eight left. I don't know how many will be left when the exam comes," Luo Cheng replied.

"As long as there is one, it is a big breakthrough." Liu Xinqi sighed.

"I feel like I'm still taking too big a step," Luo Cheng said.

"There is no way, there is a huge shortage of people, and it is too wasteful to keep women at home. As long as they go out, they are also good manpower." Liu Xinqi said.

……

On May [-], under the supervision of [-] ethnic soldiers, the written examination was successfully completed.

Liu Xinqi organized all the knowledgeable people in Liujiapu and the government to review the papers overnight.

"There are too few good results. For the three test papers (Literature, Theory, and Mathematics) with a perfect score of 150, the 57th person only scored [-] points."

Liu Xinqi was also shocked by the disastrous results, because the questions Liu Xinqi asked were very simple.

If you have a basic literacy of more than [-], you can pass [-] points in the "Wen" test, and "Lun" will give points as long as the answer is organized, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. "Number" is at the level of elementary school mathematics, and it is limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There is only one problem about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, which is a bit difficult.

"Send an announcement. It would be embarrassing if we don't have enough people." Liu Xinqi arranged it.

A thousand names were posted on the walls of the four city gates of Penglai and the bell tower in the middle of the city on May [-]th.

The interview will continue on May [-], and the content of the interview will be even simpler.

If you can introduce yourself fluently and then correctly answer the three common sense questions asked by the interviewer, you will get a passing score.Only those who answer questions fluently and perform well on the spot will ask some questions, and then get high scores.
