Chapter 334 Scholars lift people, the mystery of the embankment bursting
Because there were too many disaster victims who reported their skills and were waiting for interviews, our department started interviews the next day.

After receiving the notice, Zhang Kun followed the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the Kuaibu Department and came to the camp dedicated to "literacy and arithmetic" interviews. He was shocked to find that there were hundreds of people in this interview!

The examination room did not even have a table. Zhang Kun and other "candidates" each had only a stool and a wooden board. They had to use the wooden board as a table to take the written examination.

After discovering the paper, Zhang Kun was a little confused after reading it.

He originally thought that no matter how bad the examination was, he would still be tested on the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, or even chapters and sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics.

Who would have thought that there were actually "examination questions" written in vernacular.

For example, the first question: What do you think are the two most important points of being an official? Please answer each in four words.

Another example: Zhang San worked part-time at Master Zhou's house. Because Master Zhou refused to pay him, he stole a sheep from his house and sold it. How do you think the government should handle this matter?
Another example: How should Yidianshi respond when he learns that villagers in two villages are fighting over water?

Compared with these problems, the later arithmetic problems, which are slightly more difficult than the "chicken and rabbit in the same cage", seem relatively normal.

Zhang Kun had experience in taking exams, so after reading the entire test paper, he first did his best to do all the arithmetic questions, leaving only one question that he really didn't know, and then went to answer the weird questions in front of him.

It wasn't until the invigilator reminded that there was still a quarter of an hour before the end of the exam that Zhang Kun managed to answer all the previous questions.As for whether the answer was correct, he didn't know.

After checking the paper hastily, I handed it in.

After leaving the exam camp, Zhang Kun unexpectedly ran into Xue Liang, a classmate who had studied in Xiangfu County.

He heard that Xue Liang had passed the examination, but he didn't expect to see him here.

"Xue Liang? Why are you here?"

Xue Liang was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Kun, and then sighed: "They are all from Kaifeng City. You are here, why shouldn't I be here?"

Zhang Kun said bluntly: "I heard that you were successful. When the flood flooded the city, didn't you have the connections to escape by boat?"

Xue Liang said: "There are many officials and dignitaries in Kaifeng City, and there are also many Jinshi. What does it matter to me, a newly promoted official?
Don't talk about it. You also took the exam today. What do you think?Could this be the examination for the Ministry of Education to select officials? "

Zhang Kun shook his head, "The selection of officials will definitely not be so hasty. It is mostly just selecting some civil servants."

"I thought so too, but I heard that officials in the Kuaibu department can also be promoted. Therefore, today's exam may be a way for you and me to enter official careers in the Kueibu department.

However, for today's test questions, the first ones were okay, but the latter arithmetic questions were a bit more difficult. "

Zhang Kun looked strange after hearing this.

Xue Liang has a strong ability to observe words and colors. When he saw this, he asked: "Why, Brother Zhang has a different opinion?"

Zhang Kun said truthfully: "I think the arithmetic questions at the back are relatively easy, but the questions at the front are a bit weird."

"Hahaha," Xue Liang laughed after hearing this, "It seems that Brother Zhang is quite capable of arithmetic."

Obviously, Xue Liang didn't care that Zhang Kun was better at arithmetic - in his view, arithmetic was just a minor trick and could only be used to select civil servants such as scribes.The previous questions were asked by the Ministry of Education to select preliminary officials.

He is better at the previous questions than Zhang Kun. When he gets to the Wei Department, it will be easier for him to become an official than Zhang Kun...
Three days later.

The exam results came out, and both Zhang Kun and Xue Liang were selected.

Xue Liang was hired as the captain of the relocation team, while Zhang Kun became the "accounting room" responsible for counting and recording the material expenses of a battalion of victims in the relocation team.

One brigade captain was in charge of fifty families of disaster victims, and there were ten brigade captains in one battalion.When it comes to status, Zhang Kun, the "counting clerk", is actually half a level higher than Xue Liang, the captain.

This left Xue Liang a little speechless.

But he was not dissatisfied - he believed that once the position of captain was completed, it would be easier to be promoted and he would have more real power.

However, he is slightly resistant to migration because his family has hundreds of acres of farmland outside Kaifeng.

The officials and soldiers of the Wei tribe were very capable and efficient in their work. Their duties were arranged for only two days before they were organized to board the ship and prepare to move south.

Before boarding the ship, Xue Liang found their battalion commander, a Wei army sentry deputy.

Xue Liang had already inquired about the general rank of the Wei army and knew that the battalion commander was three levels higher than the sentry deputy, and that the sentry deputy was only temporarily serving as the camp commander of the refugee camp.So when he saw the sentry officer, he said, "Excuse me, Camp Commander Huang, where are we moving to?"

"Go south."

Hearing this answer, Xue Liang's eyes twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: Isn't it the same as if you didn't answer?

Then he bit the bullet and asked: "Where are you going to the south specifically?"

"You'll know where you are."

'It seems inconvenient to say. 'Xue Liang thought.

At the same time, they became more curious about where they were going to be moved.

After boarding the ship, he secretly went to Zhang Kun to discuss the matter and speculated: "Brother Zhang, do you think the Wei army is moving us to some barren and desolate place? Otherwise, why would they conceal the location of the move?"

"No." Zhang Kun now has great trust in Wei Jun. "Don't forget, the brigade military official said back then that the land we are going to move to is no less fertile than Kaifeng Mansion."

Xue Liang still felt that there was something wrong with the place where the Yi army moved.

But seeing that Zhang Kun believed in what Wei Jun said, he didn't talk to him about the matter anymore, but reminded himself to be alert, just in case...
Xuzhou, eastern suburbs.

Liu Sheng has been keeping an eye on Xuzhou City with his personal guards for three days.

Nearby Yuzhou has sent more than 4 people to help, but unfortunately they are completely unable to satisfy Liu Sheng's appetite.He turned a blind eye and allowed the more than [-] intruders to enter the city, increasing the number of intruders stationed in Xuzhou to more than [-].

Even so, today the Chuang Army still sent a hundred ships according to the "agreement".

Two days ago, Liu Sheng would watch the officers and soldiers of the Yi army inspecting the ships with some interest on the spot, but not today.

Because he has more important things to do—meet a group of Ming officials and dignitaries who escaped from Kaifeng Mansion!
It's quite interesting to talk about this.

Because the city was besieged by the rebel army at the end of February, the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture did not know that Shangqiu, Yucheng and other places had submitted to the Wei tribe, and thought that these cities were holding on like Kaifeng before.

So after these people escaped from Kaifeng City by boat, they went to Shangqiu, but they all became prisoners of the Yi army.

With this great achievement, the garrison stationed in Shangqiu was extremely surprised.

Hearing that Liu Sheng was in Xuzhou, he sent a team to send these people to the guard camp in Xuzhou.

Inside the king's tent.

Liu Sheng first asked Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty, to be brought alone.

This man had a bit of shame, or maybe he was saving face. He didn't give in when he saw Liu Sheng. Instead, he stood upright, glanced at Liu Sheng, and then turned his head away.

Liu Sheng said: "Gao Mingheng, as the governor of Henan in the Ming Dynasty, you are not only responsible for guarding the land, but also for protecting the people.

You are an official of the Ming Dynasty, and Gu is the king of the Wei tribe. It has nothing to do with Gu if you lose the land of the Ming Dynasty.

I just want to ask you, why are millions of people in Kaifeng Prefecture suffering from floods? How did the Yellow River burst its banks? "

Hearing these words, Gao Mingheng turned his head and showed surprise.

Probably because he didn't expect Liu Sheng to ask about this matter when he came up, and he seemed to take it very seriously.

Then he replied: "There is nothing to hide in this matter. Digging the Yellow River embankment is a plan of the official Huang Shu.

However, Huang Shu originally wanted to break the embankment and divert the water from the Yellow River to the bandit camp, and by the way, fill the Kaifeng moat.I just don’t know where the people below went wrong when doing things, which actually caused the Yellow River to burst its banks. "

　Second more.

　　Halfway through writing, I suddenly felt a stomachache and the update was late.

　　Good night~
