The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 495 lack of talent
Huang Xiaohu didn't say anything, just stared at Shi Ximei silently, and began to make plans for her in his heart.

Although the banquet broke up unhappy, Huang Xiaohu did not punish General Zhao, but when General Zhao and his party were about to leave Tianjing, Huang Xiaohu sent people from Shenlongying to intercept Shi Ximei.

Although General Zhao encouraged resistance and obstruction, he had absolutely no ability to stop Huang Xiaohu's men from taking Shi Ximei away.

Shi Ximei was taken to the Forbidden Women's Battalion by the Shenlong Camp, and Huang Xiaohu was waiting there.

After seeing Huang Xiaohu, Shi Ximei asked scoldingly: "How could you be so unreasonable? Why didn't you let Ximei go back with them?"

Huang Xiaohu didn't answer, just took Shi Ximei into his arms, and took off her clothes.

Shi Ximei still wanted to struggle, but Huang Xiaohu grabbed her chest directly, and Huang Xiaohu also blocked her mouth.

After some passion, Shi Ximei gasped.

After the matter was over, Shi Ximei said softly: "Master President, are you really going to kill my brother?"

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "This is the women's camp of the Forbidden Army. You will live here temporarily. I have already arranged it. In short, you don't have to worry, just live here properly."

Shi Ximei continued to ask: "But what about my brother? Can't we let him go?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Based on my relationship with you, do you think I will kill your own brother? It's just that if your brother doesn't know what to do, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Shi Ximei said: "Actually, Ximei can explain it clearly to my brother, and I believe he will never be an enemy of the chairman again."

Huang Xiaohu said: "How about this, when the time comes, I will give your brother a territory and let him become the king there, which is a way of life for him, what do you think?"

Shi Ximei was overjoyed, and said: "This is the best, I hope the chairman will not break his promise."

Huang Xiaohu grabbed Shi Ximei's breasts, kneaded them a few times, and said with a smile: "It's hard to follow a man's words, anyway, I'll make arrangements for you, and then you'll understand my good intentions. "

Shi Ximei's heart felt itchy when she was caught, her face turned red, and she soon began to moan involuntarily.

Naturally, Huang Xiaohu didn't let go of this opportunity, scored twice with Shi Ximei, and once again spent their love together.

It was arranged for Shi Ximei to stay in the army, and Huang Xiaohu did not tell Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan about it.

After a while, Huang Xiaohu received news that Shi Dakai's Taiping Army was preparing to attack Anqing, so Wei Zhijun asked the Musketeers for support.

After getting the news, Huang Xiaohu went to find Shi Ximei and said, "Ximei, your brother thought I had you detained, so in order to get revenge, he attacked Anqing now, what do you think I should do?"

Shi Ximei said: "Find someone to write a letter, and then give my token to my brother, trust him to know that I'm fine."

Huang Xiaohu said: "But your people have been controlled by us, so Shi Dakai won't just believe in a letter or a token, right?"

Shi Ximei said: "Then what does it mean to grow up?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I will go to Anqing myself, but I will also take you with me. At that time, you can explain clearly to Shi Dakai yourself. If he is willing to submit to me, then I will fulfill my promise."

Shi Ximei said: "Okay, let's go see my brother, I will persuade my brother."

Two days later, Huang Xiaohu went to Anqing with Shi Ximei with [-] Musketeers and [-] elite soldiers.

When they arrived in Anqing, Shi Dakai's Taiping Army had already surrounded Anqing heavily.

This time Shi Dakai actually assembled an army of [-] to besiege Anqing. Fortunately, Wei Zhijun tried his best to defend the city, and the soldiers of the Dragon Society were united, so they could barely resist Shi Dakai's attack.

After Huang Xiaohu's army arrived, the situation was quite unfavorable for Shi Dakai.

However, Huang Xiaohu was not in a hurry to attack, but sent an envoy to take Shi Ximei to see Shi Dakai.

But Shi Dakai didn't seem to have the intention of surrendering to the Dragon Society. After Shi Ximei passed by, Shi Dakai's army retreated directly.

Huang Xiaohu didn't expect Shi Da to run away from the meeting, and he withdrew overnight without even saying hello.

Wei Zhijun opened the city to welcome Huang Xiaohu's army, and asked to leave [-] Musketeers to assist Anqing's defense.

Huang Xiaohu thought for a while, and decided to eliminate the Taiping Army and Qing Army in Anwei, so he also agreed to Wei Zhijun, but instead of keeping the [-] Musketeers, he brought Wei Zhijun to fight Tongyang together.

In less than two months, Huang Xiaohu and Wei Zhijun's army had completely occupied the Anhui area.

The strategy adopted by Huang Xiaohu is: eliminate those who can be eliminated on the spot, and drive away all those who cannot be eliminated.

There were no remnants of the Taiping Army and the Qing Army in Anhui. Huang Xiaohu ordered the implementation of a new recruiting policy. After another month, more than [-] new troops were recruited in Anhui. Huang Xiaohu led the Musketeers to evacuate Anhui and return to Tianjing.

After returning to Tianjing, under Huang Xiaohu's order, Ji Wu's army had completely wiped out the Qing and Taiping armies in Shanxi and Shandong, and even the bandits and bandits were not spared.

After receiving this good news, Huang Xiaohu immediately called a meeting of generals above the group level.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Now the three eastern provinces, Shandong and Shanxi, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, have basically belonged to our Dragon Club. Next, I plan to focus on attacking Hunan and Jiangxi. Within three months, I want you to take Hunan and Jiangxi , so I need you to cooperate as much as possible."

Luo Hongfan said: "My lord, there is a shortage of talents in the Shenlonghui now. After conquering Shandong and Shanxi, there have been many places where no one is serving as an official. They can only be temporarily represented by the generals of the army. In the long run, it may not be the solution."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Under special circumstances, this can only be done temporarily. Master Luo, since there is a shortage of talents now, you scholars should find a way to cultivate some talents. If you can't cultivate them, you can recruit people from other places. In short, Shenlong will develop. We can't stand still because we don't have talent."

Luo Hongfan said: "Zhang Chaojue went to Beijing, Fu Shanxiang went to Tianjin, Jia Lin went to Shanghai, Gu Quan went to Hangzhou, Guo Yi was in Liaodong, Wei Zhijun was in Anqing, Huang Zixuan was in Anqing, even some ordinary officials in Tianjing are now All arrangements have been exhausted. Now all the people who can be used have been sent out, and Tianjing has almost no one available."

Huang Xiaohu looked at the officials and generals at the meeting, and found that except for Luo Hongfan, almost all of them were military generals, and all the civilian officials were sent out to serve as officials. As Luo Hongfan said, almost no one is available in Tianjing now. up.

Huang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "The imperial examination will be resumed, but the examination needs to be reformed. As for how to reform, I will discuss with Master Luo. In short, we need to select talents now, so we need to take some targeted measures."

Luo Hongfan said: "My lord, why don't you put aside the plan to attack Hunan and Jiangxi for now, and wait until there is a plan for selecting talents, and Shenlong will expand further, how about it?"

Huang Xiaohu nodded, and said: "That's okay, I just captured Anhui, and I also found that almost no one is available, even the leader of Wei Zhijun's personal army has to garrison a city, it is really not an option to continue like this."

After the meeting, Huang Xiaohu discussed with Luo Hongfan alone about selecting talents.

After returning to Tianwang Mansion, Huang Xiaohu also discussed with Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan about resuming the imperial examination.

Zhao Yali said: "Resuming the imperial examination is a good thing, but if you still take the stereotyped essay, it will be of no use."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Master Luo and I are discussing this matter, but I don't know what is suitable for the test. Xiaolan, Xiaoli, you can also help me think of a way."

Zhang Yalan said: "Testing stereotyped essays is not as good as testing character. Try to come up with some test questions that can test their character, and do an in-depth investigation of their background. A good reputation will definitely have an advantage."

Zhao Yali said: "Since it is an imperial examination, it must select some officials who can do good things for the people. At least some conscientious people are needed to be officials. Therefore, in addition to the ordinary culture test, the character test is really important. Xiaolan The opinion is good, I think there is another test that can be added, which is to judge the case by public trial."

Huang Xiaohu said: "How to test the public trial to decide the case?"

Zhao Yali said: "Many cases have been squeezed in Tianjing City. If they pass the culture test and character test, let them go to the public trial and judgment test. Xiaolan and I can help you supervise and investigate."

Huang Xiaohu said: "This is the best. Anyway, you are now considered veterans of public trials, and if you two supervise, I will feel more at ease. Then follow your suggestion. I will go to Lord Luo tomorrow. Tell him what to do."

Early the next morning, Huang Xiaohu went to Luo Hongfan's mansion to find Luo Hongfan to discuss the selection of talents through the imperial examination.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Last night I already thought about it. Two months later, the imperial examination will be held in Beijing, Tianjing City and Anqing. The examination is divided into three parts. Culture test, character test and word-of-mouth test. Pass this Three people who take the test can come to Tianjing to participate in the final review."

Luo Hongfan said: "I understand the cultural test, but how to test the character and word of mouth?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's very simple. The word-of-mouth test is to find out the villagers and neighbors participating in the test, and ask the person how he behaves in his daily life. As for the character test, I will naturally come up with the questions. However, the focus of the cultural test is not how beautiful the article is, but as long as you can Normal writing of fluent and logical articles is considered a pass."

Luo Hongfan said: "Okay, I'll start this matter first, and I need to pass through the common people in the territory of the Dragon Society, and it may take some time."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Two months will be the first test, and it will be held every year in the future, but how to conduct the test in the future is something we will discuss later. Since we need to select talents as soon as possible, two The first test in a month's time is very critical, Lord Luo, you should suspend all work under your command and do your best to do this."

Luo Hongfan said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Luo, someone Luo will definitely do his best to do this well."

The news soon spread that the Dragon Society will hold a large-scale talent selection test, and the scholars who have been lamenting that there is no way out these years, after hearing the news, all of them were very excited.

Luo Hongfan refined Huang Xiaohu's selection criteria, and put the word-of-mouth test first.That is to say, word-of-mouth has become the primary condition for being able to participate in the selection. If the villagers, neighbors and relatives think that the person's character is not good, then this person will have no chance to participate in the talent selection.

What Luo Hongfan publicized was that the primary election within one month, that is, the word-of-mouth test, and those who pass the primary election will participate in the local selection test two months later.
