Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 348 The end of the essay (two in one)

Of course Liu De didn't know what happened in Mayi, he was currently patrolling the school grounds, because today happened to be the day of the literary examination.

Before this, Liaocheng had not held any imperial examinations, and there was no place that could accommodate these more than [-] candidates. If it was newly built, the government's finances were not too abundant, so they simply put the examination venue in the place where they had passed the martial arts examination. on the school field.

A large number of partitions have been added to prevent others from peeping and to block the strong wind. However, if it rains, it can only be postponed. Fortunately, the sky is clear and there is no sudden storm.
In the ancient times of Liu Deyuan’s time and space, the imperial examinations generally tested poems and classics. The Ming Dynasty even opened the stereotyped selection of scholars, and all the candidates were a bunch of nerds with different practices. Let them serve as local officials.

What Liu De wants most is to be able to manage local officials at the grassroots level, to be able to work hard, so he doesn't consider any poems, songs or Fu.

There are only two subjects, divided into two days. The first test is comprehensive, including Dazhou law, arithmetic, history, geography and so on.
This session involved a wide range of subjects, all filled in the blanks and short-answer questions, and there was basically no room for free play, just like the current civil service examination administrative ability test.

The second session is policy theory, which mainly tests the examinee's ability to handle specific affairs. As a local official, he needs to have some experience in water control, epidemic control, planning and construction, farm farming, criminal law judgments, even abolishing official malpractice, investigating and punishing lawlessness, etc. learn.

Therefore, the main examination questions of Policy Theory are the examination questions selected from these items, and Liu De bluntly said that if the examinee’s examination paper is full of flowers and flowers, but there is nothing in it, he will not be admitted. It is practical and effective, and it must be admitted.

What Liu De wants is hard-working talents. If they can pass the two exams, such talents must have good political ability.

The two exams are also divided into four levels: excellent, good, fair, and poor. However, because the grading is simple, it may be inconvenient to rank, so each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower.

Candidates who have won the top three can be officials of the ninth rank, and candidates with other abilities can be selected as low-rank officials. If they are very good, they can be promoted to rank-eight officials as appropriate.

In order to show his importance, Liu De came here to make an inspection, and casually checked the attributes of a few candidates. They were all relatively average, and they were not bad at managing a village or a town, or they were an assistant official in the county, but it was embarrassing.

The two days of Wenju passed quickly, and Liu De called all the ministers to discuss the ranking of candidates.

"Have all the test papers been judged?" Liu De asked.

"My lord, these are the test papers that the ten ministers think are relatively good, please check them!" Xun Yu put the ten test papers in front of Liu De's case.

These ten scores are policy theory, and there are accurate answers in the comprehensive, so there is no need for Liu De to check it himself, and it is enough to enter the comprehensive score at the end.

Liu De picked up a test paper and checked it, then asked, "Are there any talents you think are better?"

Xun Yu took the test papers of the two of them, and said to Liu De: "These three have outstanding literary talents, and are quite proficient in practical matters. They are rare talents."

"Oh? Who?"

Liu De looked up, and the names of the three came into view.

Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Tang Guowei.

Liu De was puzzled, and suddenly said: "This Shi Tao and Meng Jian are friends of Junshi Xu. I remember Junshi Xu recommended these two people to me at the beginning, but there was no news about them. I didn't expect them to meet imperial examination."

After Liu De finished speaking, he picked up the test paper and read it attentively. The article was written very well. Not only was the writing style outstanding, but some things really hit the point of the matter.

Xun Yu smiled and said to Liu De: "My lord, Commander Xu has written a letter to my minister about this matter. Shi Tao and Meng Jian had already arrived in Jinyang two months ago. When they heard that the lord was going to hold the imperial examination, they decided to take the imperial examination." To become an official through the imperial examination, I don't want the lord to think that the two of them are in the honor of Master Xu."

"interesting!"

Liu De nodded. These two people are quite a scholar. In fact, it is very normal in this era to be recommended to be an official.

Moreover, why does Liu De feel that the names of these two people are somewhat familiar, as if they have heard them somewhere.

In the end, I still couldn't think of it, so I could only turn to the system for help.

System: "The two of them are the characters that the player summoned Xu Shu."

"Shi Tao, courtesy name Guangyuan, was born in Yingchuan, and he was appointed as the lieutenant and sheriff of Diannong. During the early years of Chuping, Shi Tao and Xu Shu came to Jingzhou together. When they were in Jingzhou, they were friends with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. He was with Cui Zhouping ( Mingjun), Meng Gongwei (named Jian), Xu Yuanzhi (named Shu) are the "Four Friends of Zhuge".

"Meng Jian, courtesy name Gongwei, was born in Runan, served in Wei Dynasty, and was appointed Governor of Liangzhou and General Zhengdong."

Liu De also finally recalled the information about these two people. Back then, Zhuge Liang said to Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Xu Shu: "The official positions of the three of you, Qing and others, can reach the governor and county guard."

But the three asked Zhuge Liang where he could reach, Zhuge Liang just smiled and said nothing.

Zhuge Liang's vision was still sharp.

So Liu De said to Xun Yu: "These three people's strategies and theories are all based on reality, and their abilities are outstanding. Meng Jian can be the number one scholar, Shi Tao can be the second place, and Tang Guowei can be the No. [-]. The ranking of the latter will be determined by you! Tomorrow General Ben throws a banquet for them."

Everyone said: "Your servant waits for you to obey!"

Liu De flipped through the test paper again, and said to Zheng Bogui who was behind him: "I heard that many children of the Zheng family have participated in the imperial examination. Are there any talents from the Zheng family?"

Zheng Bogui hurriedly came out and said: "My lord, I am ashamed to say that only one member of the Zheng family entered the top ten, and he is at the bottom."

Liu De nodded and said: "Nearly 700 people participated in the imperial examination, and the children of the Zheng family can get the top ten places, which shows that they are quite capable and should be reused."

After hearing this, Zheng Bogui was overjoyed, this is Liu De's intention to forgive the Zheng family!

Reusing the Zheng family's children means reusing the Zheng family!
Zheng Bogui kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lord, for this son!"

"Get up!"

Liu De took a deep look at the happy Zheng Bogui, and shook his head, Zheng Bogui was far from his father!

When Liu De Sanhui returned to the government office, Yan Nan personally led a messenger to the main hall, and reported to Liu De: "My lord, there is news from Mayi that Donghu vanguards are attacking Mayi, and Donghu follow-up The army may arrive in Mayi soon!"

"what!"

Liu De was startled, "Donghu striker? Then Donghu won? Get the information quickly!" The latter sentence was addressed to the messenger.

The messenger hurriedly handed the information in his arms to Liu De.

Yannan added from the side: "Donghu has won a crucial victory. This time King Youguli went south to accept the territory abandoned by Linhu, and the position of Mayi is very important. Definitely will fight!"

Liu De put the information on the case, pondered for a while and said: "General Bai and General Zhang have handled it very well. Just follow their instructions and strictly guard against Donghu's movements. Hu people have wolfish ambitions, so we have to guard against them! But if it is true There is nothing to do, tell General Bai, to preserve strength first, burn Mayi and dispose of it, at worst we will enter the grassland in the next few years, if people are still there, everything will be there!"

Yan Nan cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"

When Bai Qi received Liu De's reply, he stood on the walled city, looked at the line of small characters, and murmured in his heart: "If you are still there, everything is there. Don't worry, my lord, this mayi will be given to you in the end." You hold on!"

Bai Qi raised his eyes and saw a gust of wind and sand rolled up on the grassland, blowing the black cloak behind Bai Qi's back, rustling.

"Everyone is my great Zhou Junjie, and Yanzhou is waiting to be rejuvenated. This is a great opportunity for you to display your talents! Everyone, please!"

Liu De raised the teacup in his hand and congratulated everyone below.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Everyone was in high spirits, excited by Liu De's words, they all stood up and thanked Liu De.

After the toast, the enchanting dancer came to the center of the hall and danced with her water sleeves to the sound of the orchestra. Her posture was so graceful that it made people linger and forget to return. Everyone looked at it with gusto.

At this time, Liu De also secretly observed the top three that he valued more, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, and Tang Guowei.

Stunt: Tuntian [When doing Tuntian, grain production will increase significantly] (Level [-] internal affairs skill)——
The two are indeed as Zhuge Liang said, both are state-level talents, and it is more than enough to serve as a state shepherd. Of course, compared to political ability, Meng Jian must have higher ability, and Meng Jian's command has reached 73. He is a civil servant. !

No wonder he was able to worship General Zhengdong as an official. According to the original history, the official position was indeed higher than that of Shi Tao, and Shi Tao's highest position was only the post of county guard.

However, Shi Tao's stunts made Liu De's eyes shine. Like Zhang Tianlang's stunts, Tuntian is a god level for him now, and Liu De already knows where to send Shi Tao down.

Character: Tang Guowei

Stunt: rule of law [Slight increase in city security] (Level [-] internal affairs skill)——
I didn't expect to pick up another treasure. Although the ability is not as good as Shi and Meng, Tang Guowei's stunts give Tang Guowei a lot of points. This is a natural judge!
Looking at Tang Guowei with a serious face, Liu De became more convinced of his own judgment. It seemed that Tang Guowei had to think about his position.

When the banquet was coming to an end, Liu Deping retired the dancers and musicians. Everyone knew that Liu De was about to be appointed to an official position, so they put down their cups and stared at them with bated breath, not daring to be slighted.

Liu Dedao: "Appoint Meng Jian as the prime minister of Baoshan County; appoint Shi Tao as the head of the garrison to assist Xu Guangqi in handling the matters of garrisoning the land; appoint Tang Guowei as the Daicheng Judgment Cao Yi (Jiupin) to assist the prefect in handling the criminal trial."

The three of them came out and said, "I am waiting to thank you, Lord!"

Liu De's appointment is actually quite meaningful. Although Meng Jian was the number one scholar, he was transferred to the county seat and served as the county magistrate, while the county magistrate of Baoshan was Li Liang who was acquainted with Liu De. The problem, unfortunately, is that the ability is limited, and it is really impossible to afford the government affairs of a county.

So Meng Jian was sent to help Li Liang handle Baoshan's government affairs. If Meng Jian handled it properly, his achievements would definitely be indispensable.

Shi Tao is because his special skill is [Tuntian], which is very suitable to assist Xu Guangqi in managing the farming affairs. Although Xu Guangqi has outstanding abilities, he is still alone and lacks skills. With Shi Tao's help, he will better complete Liu De's delivery Task.

The same is true for Tang Guowei. In Daicheng, because the aristocratic family did not carry out much massacres, there are many left behind, so the aristocratic family's crimes often happen.

However, Liu Gui's political ability was limited, and he often mishandled some affairs. Although Gao Jiayi was the acting prime minister, he came from a family, and Liu De did not trust him, so Liu De sent Tang Guowei to help Liu Gui handle the criminal trial.

Liu De also knew that Liu Gui would be fine as a general, but he was too far behind as a prefect, but there was nothing he could do. Liu De had too few officials with prestige, ability, and qualifications under his command.

I only hope that Meng Jian and the others will grow up as soon as possible, so that Liu De can have more manpower and more choices.

Now Liu De only has these two or three cards in his hand. Although he has a trump card like Xun Yu in his hand, he can't let Xun Yu manage a small county, that's really overkill!
The Wen Ju is over, and the day of Liu De's big wedding is getting closer and closer, Guo You's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is about to give birth.

Liu De has also been a little nervous and a little excited these days. The nervous ones are the Hu people who are about to come to Mayi. The battle in Mayi will determine whether Liu De can gain a foothold on the grassland.

With Donghu's current remaining strength, I'm afraid he can only launch a medium-sized battle. If he can't win, then Donghu will leave the fertile land of Mayi in despair, lick his wound in secret, and wait for the day when the wound heals .

And if Bai Qi is defeated, it will return to the situation two years ago, trapped in Dongyu City, and with the situation in Yanzhou, it is impossible to launch a battle against the Hu people. The battle on the grassland is not that simple.

And Hebei is Liu De's first goal, because Liu De has five years to pacify Hebei.Hu people can only go to the back row.

Liu Deshi thought, if Bai Qi is defeated, he will defend against Dongyu and keep the Hu people out of Yanzhou, and settle the new and old scores slowly.

However, will Bai Qi lose?

That can be invincible God of War!
