Chapter 285 Recruiting talented people, Fa Kui
Almost a month later.

On this day, in the newly established capital of Dafeng Kingdom, which now rules almost the northwest corner of the Chaotic Land, which was the capital of the original Tao Kingdom, notices for King Feng Guo to recruit talented people were posted everywhere on the streets and alleys.

"I am the King of Dafeng. I am now announcing to the world that all talented people can enter the palace for examination. Regardless of whether they are civil or military, if they are hired, they can become officials or generals..."

These notices are not only posted at the intersections of various streets, but also read aloud by dedicated personnel every day, and those who think they are talented are directed to the King's Palace to test for jobs.

"This new king is really unique. He actually uses this method to recruit talents. I heard that the palace is crowded with people every day."

On a street, a young man who looked like a scholar looked at the people gathered next to the notice and sighed, because this method of recruiting talents directly on the street has never been done before in this world. In the past, it was only limited to people. An internal recommendation system for the aristocratic elite.

"Young man, I see you are also a scholar. Why don't you go to the King's Palace and give it a try? Old man, I am really old, otherwise I would not miss this opportunity."

A hunchbacked old man immediately smiled and said after hearing the scholar's sigh, with a sense of regret in his voice that he was born at the wrong time.

"To be honest with you, I am still studying poetry and classics. How can I be favored by the royal palace examiners even if I go there?"

The young man immediately hesitated and said that his experience was not mature enough and he did not have enough confidence in his own strength.

He was a tall and mighty young man in his twenties. Not only did he have a very good appearance, he was like a god descending from the sky. His martial arts skills were also outstanding. Not only could he defeat the martial arts examiner with one move or two, but he could also defeat someone behind him. He easily defeated the siege of many examiners, and even answered questions fluently during the military examination, showing that he was extremely proficient in military affairs.

At the same time, talent tests were being held simultaneously in the core palaces of each major city. This test was said to be based on standards drawn up by King Fengguo himself, and was divided into two categories: civil and military.

Among them, the martial arts test is a test of personal strength. As long as you perform well in the confrontation with the examiner, you can join the army as a soldier. If you perform well, you can become a captain of ten or centurion. The military test is a test of military strategy. Those who pass the test can become As an army counselor, special talents can even become generals directly.

The hunchbacked old man then burst into words, making the young man who looked a little immature feel ashamed.

The essay will test your written writing skills and basic arithmetic, and there are also a number of policy questions that need to be answered. Once you pass the test, you will be qualified to become a minor official, and some outstanding ones may be directly promoted to officials.

The aspect of martial arts is simpler, including only the martial arts test and the military test. You only need to pass one of the two. If you pass both, you will be considered an outstanding talent and will receive better treatment.

"Haha...it's still easy for young people to fool..."

Then thoughts flashed through the old man's mind, and he had some doubts about whether King Fengguo's move was meaningful, but as he grew older, he quickly gave up thinking about this issue and only focused on the interests closely related to him.

Being so excited, the scholar mustered up all his energy and headed straight towards the royal palace.

"I don't know if this great king's actions will have any effect...but as long as you give me a lot of money..."

"My father-in-law, you are right! Xiaosheng, go give it a try now!"

"Back to Shangguan, Xiaosheng's surname is Feng Mingxian. He was born in Gongguo in the south. He has been cultivating on Shenfeng Mountain since he was a child. A few months ago, Master said that the world was about to change and it was the time to make contributions, so he asked Xiaosheng to go down the mountain and travel..."

After the hunchbacked old man saw the man running away, he suddenly laughed secretly in his heart. It turned out that he was actually a persuasive person arranged by Fengguo officials, specifically responsible for convincing those who were hesitant to apply for a job in the palace.

Scenes like this are not only present in the capital of Fengguo. In the new capital in the northeast, which is the former capital of Yinguo, large-scale social recruitment activities are also launched. The old capital in Fengguo Mountain also has no Exceptions are made, but since the population there is smaller, the scale of the event will be relatively smaller.

"What's your name? Where are you from? Why haven't I heard of an outstanding young man like you before?"

The examiner in the palace this time happened to be Lao Xiangguo, who Wang Zhifan relied on most. Originally, Lao Xiangguo was in charge of the literary examination policy, but the commotion in the martial arts examination attracted him too, making him have no idea about this person's origins. Quite interested.

This young man, who was impeccable in appearance, martial arts, and talent, immediately answered calmly, making the old prime minister even more satisfied with his talent.

At this time, in the palace of the capital of the Feng Kingdom, which was also the capital palace of the original Tao Kingdom, there was a special talent who stood out and attracted the attention of all the examiners.

"You young man... As the saying goes, opportunities must never come again. This notice does not say that we don't want young people like you! If you don't seize the opportunity in front of you today, you will regret it later! Even if you can't become an official, you can't become a soldier. Isn't this a better future than just studying?"

"It turns out that he is a talented person who came down from Shenfeng Mountain. No wonder he is so outstanding... Just wait in the palace for a few days, and I will write to the king immediately. The king needs talents like you now..."

The old Xiangguo had indeed heard of Shenfeng Mountain, which was said to be the place where an expert hermit lived in seclusion in this chaotic situation. Unexpectedly, an expert hermit actually came today, although it cannot be ruled out that this young man was pulling the flag for him. But his ability cannot be faked. No matter how you say it, he is a talented general.

Scenes like this are rare in examination centers across the country, but it is not the only one. It indicates that Wang Zhifan's recruitment of talents from the society has achieved good results and attracted some high-quality talents. But don’t think that this is just his luck. In fact, it is closely related to the fact that he has successively captured Yin and Tao in the past two months, which has greatly expanded Fengguo’s territory by more than four times. Although the people now think that he is the Fengguo The king is full of aggression and likes to fight, causing thousands of people to die on the battlefield, but everyone has to admire his war ability. After all, the winner can have everything.

Nowadays, more and more foreigners have gathered in the capital of Fengguo. Unwilling people from various countries in the south all hope to work under this ambitious king and their achievements can be recorded in history. fame.

At the same time, in the new capital of Feng State further north, which was once the old capital of Yin State, Wang Zhifan was not idle. In fact, he just came here from his capital in the south today and was in the palace with the man who had been rescued by him for almost a month. General Liu discussed matters.

After General Liu was cured by him using the biological transformation device, it could be said that he was very grateful to him as the king. After all, the life-saving grace cannot be forgotten casually, so when he found that his body was not only restored to intact, but also became stronger. After several times, he immediately reported to Wang Zhifan and actively devoted himself to high-intensity work.

Every day he was either practicing troops in the military camp or studying the future war strategies. He was devoted to the goal of hegemony that Wang Zhifan had mentioned to the generals long ago, and looked like he wanted to die from overwork.

"Your Majesty, I think the current plan is to go north to capture Kui Kingdom first. If we go south and encounter Huan and Lu, there may be a risk of unfavorable war..."

At this moment, in the main hall, General Liu, who was still very energetic after working hard for several days, pointed at a black and white ink map and put forward his strategic suggestions.

"Isn't Kui Kingdom surrounded by mountains? It doesn't pose much of a threat to Dafeng? Why attack it first?"

Wang Zhifan knew about Kui Country when he first came to this dungeon. It was a small mountainous country further north than the original Feng Country. The original Feng Country was relatively close to the edge of the mountains. This Kui Country was completely located in the deep mountains and old forests. If it is successful, basically no country will take advantage of it, so now he is very confused as to why General Liu has taken a fancy to this place.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Although the Kui Kingdom is small, the land it occupies is rich in iron ore. If your Majesty wants to dominate the world, you must not lack this... and now the Feng Kingdom's soldiers lack experience. Although they have won successive victories, there is no victorious army. At the end of the day, you will have the courage to lead the army to defeat Kui for the king, and lay the foundation for hegemony..."

General Liu meant two things. First, Kui Country is not easy to fight due to its location, but if you conquer it, you will gain iron ore resources, which will lay a solid foundation for future hegemony. Second, the general discovered that Feng Country’s current army He is not very capable and needs to be further tempered by war. He himself is willing to lead troops to attack and win the only remaining country in the north for Wang Zhifan.

"It's not impossible for Aiqing to lead troops to conquer the Kingdom of Kui... But please wait for a few days. This war can be used to train the new batch of recruited generals..."

After talking for a while, Wang Zhifan was convinced by General Liu who wanted to repay his kindness with merit. Mainly, he felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Now his Feng Kingdom covers an area much larger than two months ago, and the population it controls is even greater. Ten times faster, this means that Fengguo's war potential is no longer what it used to be. As long as the strategy is right, it can definitely take over the only remaining Kwaiguo in the north and complete a regional unification.

"I will not personally take action in this battle to defeat Kui. Aiqing must be fully prepared and work together with all the generals to overthrow the Kui Kingdom, so that my Dafeng's military exploits can be added to the glory!"

Wang Zhifan then decided that he would let the people below him finish the job, because he was tired of being a fire captain everywhere. War should be fought like a war, and the enemy should be defeated by relying on the hard work and mutual cooperation of all armies. Don't expect him, the great king, to personally go into battle and kill the enemy whenever you encounter some problem.

Although he has a combat power that far exceeds that of the army, his personal energy is limited after all. Once he gets used to letting the army rely on his personal combat power, it will only bring many hidden dangers. I am afraid that when he encounters a strong enemy, the entire battle will collapse and he can only fight for hegemony. There is a risk of coming back. In order to successfully pass the level, he must make the troops under his command stronger.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! The general will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Seeing that his king and savior had so decisively entrusted him with the important task, General Liu became excited and determined to do something great for Wang Zhifan and do his best to repay his kindness.

And Wang Zhifan can indeed do this. His extraordinary combat power determines that he is not like a regular king. He is not afraid of the people below him. If anyone wants to rebel and cause trouble, he can just come to him single-handedly. To solve the problem, the army is just his tool, not his lifeblood. It is not a big deal for him for generals to support their troops and respect themselves. Those who are disobedient can be killed directly and replaced with obedient ones.

In this way, in the following period, the entire Feng Kingdom began to prepare for the new war. A large number of materials and soldiers began to gather near the old capital. Talents such as General Liu who was entrusted by Wang Zhifan and the newly recruited young general Feng Xian all gathered. They were arranged to discuss the strategy of conquering the country. On the contrary, Wang Zhifan, the king, did not pay much attention to the attack on Kui Kingdom. He spent most of his time in the southern capital to suppress the Yuantao Kingdom area.

The main reason is that he knows his own abilities. He doesn't understand fighting at all. He has some experience in personal combat. Professional matters can be left to professionals. If they fail, it means they are not professional enough. Just replace them with a group of capable people.

But this does not mean that Wang Zhifan can completely rest during this period. In addition to daily practice, he also has an important matter when stationed in the southern capital, which is to prevent several big countries further south from invading Fengdi, such as possessing divine patterns. The Huan State of Bing Dynasty, and the Lu State of Lv State, which is famous for its dragon riding, are all truly powerful countries in a chaotic situation, and are one level stronger than elite monsters like Tao State.

In the past, due to mutual constraints and distance, these powerful countries did not pay too much attention to the northwest corner where Fengguo is located, but now this corner is about to be completely unified by Fengguo. As long as those in power are not blind, those powerful countries will You'll know it's time to take care of this place.

After all, no powerful country can sit back and watch another country rapidly expand and become stronger around it. In order to suppress new challengers, they may even temporarily stop their hatred of each other and unite their efforts to eliminate potential opponents first.

This is the reason why Wang Zhifan is now personally stationed in the south of Feng Country. He estimates that the powerful countries in the south will soon react and will not give him more time to develop easily.

Sure enough, seven or eight days later, before exact news came from the Kui Kingdom's expedition in the northwest, the army guarding the southern border brought the latest information to Wang Zhifan via a flying eagle:

"Your Majesty, after many investigations, we found that many foreign armies have gathered in the southern desert, including divine pattern soldiers with black lines on their faces, and dragon cavalry riding on the back of a triangular dragon..."

"Forget about this divine tattooed soldier. I guess he gave the soldiers special tattoos and added some BUFFs. Based on the morphological description in the intelligence, could this Triceratops be a Triceratops? Are there still dinosaurs in this world? They were even trained as cavalry? It’s a bit interesting…”

Wang Zhifan had naturally learned a little bit about the famous Divine Pattern Soldiers of the Huan Kingdom and the famous Dragon Riders of the Lu Kingdom in the past few days. Even if the information was not sufficient, he also discovered some surprising things.
