Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 235 The Way to Get Scholars
In August of the second year of Jian'an, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Beihai Mansion released rumors that Lord Taiwei was preparing to select officials.

Not long after the news came out, government officials and scholars of Confucianism came to see Zhang De with posts and recommended talents to Zhang De.

Before the emergence of the imperial examination system, the selection of talents was mainly based on recommendation.If a person has a good reputation, someone will definitely invite him to be born.At the same time, if you know some high-ranking officials, those high-ranking officials will also recommend talents to enter the government.

On the Taiwei's house.

Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Wang Lang and others gathered together.

Bing Yuan was as famous as Hua Xin and Guan Ning.People at that time compared them to a dragon, with Hua Xin as the head, Bing Yuan as the belly, and Guan Ning as the tail.

Bing was originally from Beihai, Qingzhou. He fled to Liaodong during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now he has returned to Beihai.

Zheng Xuan looked at Zhang De and asked, "Master Taiwei, why did you ask us to come here?"

"It's about getting scholars!" Zhang De replied: "I have an idea, so I'm looking for everyone to discuss it!"

"Master Taiwei, please speak!"

"This time, I would like to change the way to recruit scholars from Beihai. The students from the University College are the main ones. Mr. Guan, Mr. Bing, and Mr. Wang Lang each ask a question, a total of three questions, and the students answer them. The answers made by the students are composed of three There are ten grades for each question: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren, and Gui! So you can distinguish between good and bad!"

"Interesting! Master Taiwei's method is very interesting! I have no objection!" Zheng Xuan said cheerfully.

Bing Yuan and Guan Ning looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.And Wang Lang is now working under Zhang De, so of course he has no objection.

……

In September, the big exam begins. All students who intend to become an official are gearing up and preparing to take the exam. Those who apply for the exam don't need to know their background, but they just need to be educated!Among them, students from graduate schools accounted for [-]%.More students have been watching to see what tricks Master Taiwei has created.

The three questions are much less than the modern college entrance examination. Although they are all subjective questions, the average examinee can finish answering them in one morning.Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Wang Lang each only need to grade one question they wrote, and the number of candidates is not too many, so the three of them only spent two days reviewing all the test papers.

Zhang De ordered people to post their achievements at the gate of Beihai City with great fanfare.The scoring standards of the three examiners are very high, but there are not many people who can get A.Those with low scores naturally felt ashamed when they were announced, while those with high scores all showed joy.

What caught Zhang De's attention was that there was actually a student who got three A's, that is, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and Wang Lang were very satisfied with this person's answers to the questions.

This man is from Jingzhou Xinye, named Deng Zhi!
Zhang De naturally knew this name.As one of the able ministers of the Three Kingdoms, Deng Zhi suggested to Zhuge Liang that after Liu Bei's defeat of Wu failed, the state of Shu joined forces with Wu to resist Wei. Deng Zhi then went to Wu in person to persuade Sun Quan.

It is worth mentioning that Deng Zhi didn't die until he was 88 years old, and he can be regarded as one of the few immortals in Shu Han.

Today Deng Zhi is still a teenager in his 20s.Deng Zhi heard that Pang Yi was a good soldier in the middle of Sichuan, so he went to join him, but Pang Yi was a person who valued his background, so Deng Zhi was not reused under Pang Yi's subordinates.

There is a man named Zhang Yu in Sichuan, and of course he is not the one who makes wine. This Zhang Yu is famous for his looks.So Deng Zhi went to Changyu's place to find Zhangyu to show her a picture.

Zhang Yu is also a child of Guigu, so he naturally supports Zhang De.So I told Deng Zhi that you have no future in Sichuan, and Deng Zhi's luck is in Qingzhou in the east.

Deng Zhi thought, isn't Qingzhou Zhang De'e's territory, so Deng Zhi went to Qingzhou.When Zhang De happened to be recruiting a scholar, Deng Zhi signed up. As a result, he won three A's and became the number one candidate for this time.

In the face of this historical celebrity, Zhang De did not hesitate to be an official, and appointed Deng Zhi as the prefect of Donghai.And Deng Zhi also felt that Zhang Yu, the fortune teller, really lived up to his reputation, and his calculations were really accurate. It seemed that his luck had really come.

Deng Zhi was not from a noble family, and she was not from a university, but Deng Zhi was able to get such a powerful official position as the prefect of the East China Sea, which made many people jealous, and some students who had been watching felt regretful.

One month after the college entrance examination, the first batch of colleges in the lecture hall also graduated.The first batch of students were all selected from the army, most of them were smart people, and many of them had illustrious military exploits.Zhang De ordered someone to send the list over, hoping to find some familiar names.

But to Zhang De's disappointment, all the names were very strange, none of which Zhang De knew.

……

In the blink of an eye, it has been three years in Jian'an.For a whole year, there was no war in Xuzhou City, and Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places gradually restored their former prosperity.

Zhang De's newspapers are still being printed again, but the difference is that the thin one in those days has become four big ones, and the scope of coverage has gradually become wider.

Cao Cao had recently acquired most of Yuan Shu's territory, and it took time to digest it, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong also encountered a little trouble. Shanyue in the south rebelled again, and in a blink of an eye he even killed Kuaiji City.

Speaking of which, this was also Sun Ce's mistake.It turned out that the prefect of Kuaiji was Wang Lang.Wang Lang is a Confucian, and his mind is full of convincing people with virtue, so Wang Lang's policy towards Shanyue is quite loose.

After Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, Shanyue's life was not as easy as before.Sun Ce is known as the "little overlord", and he is a person who looks like a raging fire. Speaking of which, Sun Ce's personality is more like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, so he will never compromise with Shanyue.Finally pushed back against Yamakoshi.

Sun Ce was busy quelling the Shanyue rebellion, which also saved Zhang De's Xuzhou from facing the pressure from Jiangdong, so now Zhang De only needs to pay attention to Yuan Shao in the north.

Qingzhou and Jizhou are separated by the Yellow River, and it is also the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the current is turbulent.Even in winter when the Yellow River freezes, the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River can already be transported, but the lower reaches of the Yellow River still dare not leave.

Yuan Shao wants to attack Qingzhou, the biggest obstacle is the Yellow River.As for Zhang De, as long as he can guard the banks of the Yellow River, find out early when Yuan Shao is crossing the river, and attack halfway across the river, then Yuan Shao may never even think about crossing the Yellow River for the rest of his life.

Both Lu Su and Xu Rong were experts in defense. In order to prevent Yuan Shao from crossing the river, Zhang De deployed heavy troops along the Yellow River.And Lu Su simply used a relatively stupid but very useful method, that is, the Beacon Tower.

Along the banks of the Yellow River, a beacon tower was set up every five miles. Once Yuan Shao was found to have moved, the beacon tower was lit immediately.Although this requires a lot of material resources to build the beacon tower and a lot of manpower to guard the beacon tower, this method is very effective. Even Tian Fengjushou and others exclaimed that this method is difficult even for gods. break.

Three years in Jian'an, half of it passed in a blink of an eye, and at this time, Emperor Xian of Chang'an finally found out that his imperial decree didn't work anymore!
