Soldiers come to the world

[Three chapters a day are too intensive, which caused the inflammation of the fingers to be committed again last time. Only two chapters a day, one morning and one night, I'm sorry everyone. 】

Pang Tong hastily stepped forward and bowed to salute, "My minister sees the state shepherd!"

Liu Jing glanced back at him and smiled slightly, "So it's Pang Yuancheng, long time no see, please sit down!"

Liu Jing didn't wait for him in his seat. In fact, he wanted to give Pang Tong some face and not allow him to pray. After all, he was Liu Bei's deputy military adviser, so he had to be given a step to adapt to himself.

Liu Jing and Pang Tong sat down respectively, and a book boy came in with two cups of tea. Liu Jing took a sip of hot tea, and then asked with a smile, "Pang Yuancheng is busy these days, right?"

Pang Tong hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Fortunately, I don't care about the college affairs for the time being. Now I'm concentrating on the exams. Although I'm a little busy, I feel very comfortable in my heart."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile, "That's right, the most gratifying thing is to be successful in doing things. In fact, I am the same. I developed step by step from Chaisang to occupy Jingyi and Jingzhou today. I often Feel the joy of achievement."

"The state shepherd can't just be satisfied with Jingyi and Yizhou!" Pang Tong couldn't help but said. [

Liu Jing laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Yuancheng, for your reminder, Liu Jing dare not slack off!"

Pang Tong also laughed, and the tension in his heart gradually disappeared, so he turned the topic to the serious business, "I came here today to report on the exam, and the time is set on the tenth day of October, and there are five days left. It was the first exam, and it was originally planned to admit 5000% of the scholars, but now there are 1 people who signed up, and [-] people were admitted, so the number of people admitted is not too much?"

Liu Jing pondered for a while and said: "It is indeed too many, and then reduce it by half to 5000 people. Even if they are not recruited as officials in the end, they can still be sent to Jingzhou Academy for further study. As for the number of people finally admitted as officials, it must be controlled within [-] people. "

Pang Tong hurriedly leaned forward and said, "But the original plan was to have 300 people, but now it has been reduced to [-] people, isn't it a little too small?"

"Things are rare and precious, and few are precious!"

"But 10 people"

Before Pang Tong could finish speaking, Liu Jing waved his hand and interrupted him, "There are not so many vacancies in Jingzhou and Yizhou at the moment, besides, they can be admitted to study in the academy as a backup, and outstanding ones can continue to study in the academy in the future." Make up for the vacancy, and that's it."

Pang Tongnai had no choice but to nod in agreement. Liu Jing saw that he was a little reluctant, and added with a smile: "The key is to do some details well. In addition to ensuring their board and lodging, each scholar will give them a little more money before leaving. We will also do our best for the travel expenses of a hundred qian, a bucket of rice and a hemp blanket, so that the scholars will not return to their hometown with emotions, and they will always gain something, and they can explain it when they go home."

Pang Tong nodded. He thought of another matter, and quickly asked: "There is also the admission of the children of the aristocratic family. Please Zhou Mu tell Weichen in detail, what points should be paid attention to?"

Liu Jing thought about this issue. He passed a list from the table and handed it to Pang Tong, "There are 48 families in the list, and the 48 families should all send their children for reference. You can send someone to secretly inquire about this matter." For the children from 48 households, they may come by themselves, or they may be sent by the family. We mainly recruit children sent by the family, with a maximum of 48 people.”

"Wei Chen knows!"

Pang Tong took the list, read it carefully, and carefully put it away, and then continued: "There is also the admission. Since we want to ensure the admission of the children of scholars, we are also discussing the plan. It is a bit difficult to take the exam according to the name. gone."

"This is actually simple!"

Liu Jing said with a smile: "The first academy exam can be completely obscured and admitted fairly. I think if these aristocratic children can't even pass the academy exam, then there is no need to come to Xiangyang. The key is the second exam, you can add one Interview! It will be easier to adjust through the interview, what does Pang Yuancheng think?"

In fact, Pang Tong already had a case in his chest. He just wanted to hear Liu Jing's opinion first. He pondered for a while and said: "If half of the second list of 48 people are from aristocratic families, it will be criticized, and it will damage the prefecture. Regarding reputation, Wei Chen and Jiang engaged in a discussion. In fact, there is no need for a second interview, and the admission is still fair. However, these 130 people can be admitted separately, and there is no need to announce it. In this way, more than [-] people can be admitted at most, which not only ensures the needs of the state pastor. , and fairness is also taken into account, does the state pastor think it is appropriate?" [

Liu Jing nodded, "This method is feasible. I would like to ask Yuancheng to discuss with Jiang again, and then officially announce the specific plan!"

"Wei Chen understands, let me take my leave!"

Pang Tong got up and saluted, and was about to turn around and leave, but Liu Jing stopped him, "Shi Yuan, please stay!"

Pang Tong hurriedly bowed and said, "Please tell me, the state pastor."

Liu Jing smiled, and said lightly: "After the public selection of scholars is over, Shiyuan can change his position! How about coming to the General's Mansion?"

Pang Tong's heart was pounding. He understood Liu Jing's implication, that he was going to use him again. At this time, he resisted again, and bowed deeply, "I am willing to work for the state shepherd!"

Liu Jing laughed meaningfully. This Pang Tong was indeed not a pedantic person. He clasped his fists and saluted, "Let me leave the exam to Mr. Pang."

In the afternoon, Liu Jing returned to his own mansion. Liu Jing's mansion was also busy, with boxes and cages piled up like a hill, and they were about to move. Unlike the General's Mansion, Liu Jing's mansion will be completely moved to Chengdu and left empty. His house will be transformed into a part of Jingzhou Academy, and this beautiful and magnificent mansion will become the study place for scholars.

In fact, they started packing as early as a month ago. Ten days later is the auspicious day to move the house. Their family will also officially move to Chengdu. Another reason prompts them to move as soon as possible, that is, Tao Zhan has another Pregnant, can only move to Chengdu in the early stage, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future.

When Liu Jing entered the mansion, he went directly to the inner study. This was his habit. After resting in the study for half an hour, before considering having dinner, Liu Jing changed into a robe. Just as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door, and a small voice came from outside. A soft child's voice, "Open the door!"

Liu Jing suddenly laughed, got up and opened the door, only to see his wife Tao Zhan standing at the door holding her son, she smiled and said, "Let's see what Daddy is doing?"

Liu Jing hurriedly took his son over with a smile, Liu Zhi was already one year old, although he was still walking unsteadily, he could speak a lot vaguely, he pointed to the bed in the corner of the room and shouted: "Go to bed and play! "

Every time he comes to his father's study, he likes to play on the couch, which is also a couch specially set up by Liu Jing for his son. The couch is covered with soft mats, and Liu Zhi rolls over with joy when he climbs on the couch, which is the nature of children .

At this time, Tao Zhan took the teacup from the maid again and walked into the study, looking at the father and son playing on the bed with joy. This is also the happiest moment for a woman, and it satisfies her as a wife and a mother at the same time. wish.

Liu Zhi’s greatest hobby is reading books, especially scrolls. Every time he comes to his father’s study, he plays with a set of woodcarving maps. This is a map of Jingzhou made up of 14 yuan woodcarving maps. Each piece of woodcarving represents a county. , in Liu Zhi's eyes, this is the best toy.

After playing mischievously for a while, Liu Zhi began to concentrate on sitting on the wooden couch and playing with a pile of book-sized wooden maps. At this time, Liu Jing no longer had to accompany his son. He sat down next to him and took tea from his wife. Zhan took a sip and said with a smile, "Speak up! What can you do with me?"

He knows his wife very well, and he usually doesn’t come to the study to disturb him. There must be something. Tao Zhan smiled a little embarrassedly: “Ms. Pan came to me this morning and brought a little request from my father. It’s about the children of the Tao family taking the exam. Regarding the matter, I hope that my husband can also regard the Tao family as a family in Jiangxia County. I know what my father means, and I flatly refused, and let them take the exam honestly like other scholars. I just want to tell my husband."

Liu Jing pondered and remained silent. The problem was not that the Tao family wanted to rely on their relationship, but that Tao Sheng had sensed his real purpose of publicly recruiting scholars this time with the unique acumen of a businessman. Sheng's real intention is to officially position the Tao family as an aristocratic family, and this exam is an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled at Tao Zhan: "Even if you don't look at the relationship, but from the Tao family's great contribution to Jingzhou, I should also consider giving the Tao family something in return. This exam will indeed take care of the interests of some aristocratic families. It's not completely fair, since the Tao family has already spoken, why can't I agree?"

Tao Zhan sighed, "I mainly don't want to spoil the Tao family. I can't agree to everything he asks. If this doesn't work, it will not only harm the Tao family, but also implicate me."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan took a quick look at her son who was sitting on the couch and was concentrating on playing woodcarving. More often than not, she was thinking about her son. Liu Jing understood her difficulties. He held Tao Zhan's hand and said with a smile: "This time In fact, the Tao family is not too much, I have taken care of 48 gentry families, if the Tao family is excluded, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally, so if the Tao family enjoys a quota like other aristocratic families, no one will say anything."

Tao Zhan nodded silently. If this is the case, she can reluctantly agree, "Okay! Then we have something to say first, only this time, the next time will not work, and my husband can't promise my father in my name, but only in the name of the Tao family." contribution to determine its status."

"There is no problem with this, it is decided like this."

At this moment, Liu Jing was also feeling a little hungry, so he got up and said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's have dinner together."

He picked up his son, put him on his neck, and trotted away like riding a horse. The little boy screamed in excitement and patted his father's head desperately. The family walked quickly to the dining hall.
