Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 569
"The so-called big exam is to promote talents for the country. When Xuzhou was first established, it was done in order to attract and recruit talents. Now the college is on the right track, and the supplement of officials at all levels is basically in place. Not only in Liaodong, but also in Xuzhou. Something has changed." Zhou Cang stopped in his tracks.

"Then, what should I do?"

"In the future, officials at all levels will be able to list the positions, number of positions, and qualifications. The Department of Civil Affairs will publish a list. When students sign up, each employing department will make their own decisions and select them based on their grades. The Department of Civil Affairs will be responsible for the physical examination and qualification review. Merchants and banks can also do the same. The form is just organized by the Chamber of Commerce." Zhou Cang said to Zheng Chao: "You write it down, and come back and work with Xun Cishi to make a specific charter."

Everyone can foresee that there will be new measures every time Zhou Cang's relatives come, but they didn't expect that this time it will be so huge. It's a little bit of a turn for the time being, and it's still possible to collect materials in this way.It is indeed more targeted for each division to make its own proposition.

Bing Yuan is still thinking about the big exam, which is the best way for students to make their mark. "Then the lord said that the big exam has changed because..."

"The annual exam will be changed to a competition or to win a bid. It will be jointly organized by the governor's office and the college. There will be bonuses or medals. Anyone can participate. The winners will only get bonuses or medals, which have nothing to do with official positions."

Bing Yuan mused, "Separating the competition from the selection of scholars? It's a good idea." Immediately he came back to his senses, consciously speechless: "My lord has a broad mind, Bing Yuan admires it!"

"Hehe, I just thought of it by accident. You still have to think about it carefully. You might as well implement it in two years."

The main purpose of Zhou Cang's visit to the college has been achieved. The rest of the time communicates with teachers and students, has lunch together, and does some farm work in the afternoon. The day passes quickly, and he does not return to Liaohou Mansion until sunset.

On June 24, Beiting Governor Zang Ba learned that Zhou Cang had come to Xiangping, and brought his son Zang Ai and Bie Jiayang's secret relatives to pay a visit.

Zang Ba's life is very good, there are [-] Han people under his command, there are no enemies around, and he has expanded two thousand miles to the north.Jilin has fertile land and abundant products, and even if there is any shortage, you can buy it from Pingzhou.Cao Cao once sent someone to form an alliance with him, and asked Zang Ba to put pressure on Liaodong behind his back. The letter was burned by Zang Ba. How could he be used as a spear by Cao Cao, and how could the power of Liaodong be shaken?
The only thing that bothers him is that there are still [-] soldiers under him, full of blood, a group of bachelors will inevitably be difficult to manage.The main purpose of his visit this time, apart from making friends with Zhou Cang, the most important thing is to try to send women to Jilin.Moreover, Zang Ba made it clear to Zhou Cang that any barbarian, Japanese, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, or Fuyu would be fine as long as they were fertile women, and they would not be picky.

Zhou Cang considered repeatedly agreeing to Zang Ba's request to mobilize thousands of people to Jilin, but he asked Zang Ba that this person could be registered as a Chinese citizen, learn Chinese rituals, wear Chinese clothes, speak Chinese, and write Chinese characters. Han people are treated equally and should not be discriminated against or oppressed.The most important one is that intermarriage of foreigners is prohibited.

Zang Ba said with a smile: "My son Ding can't be solved yet, how can we let him intermarry."

After drinking a cup of tea, Zang Ba pointed to Zang Ai and said, "I also want to bring my son here to learn more, so that Yelang will not be arrogant. I hope Liao Hou will allow him to observe around."

"This matter is simple, Zifan, Deng Ai, you two take him around the army, various divisions and the market, there is no taboo." Zhou Cang said there is no taboo, Duanmuling of course understands that Xuanjiaqi cannot be exposed.

Only Zang Ba, Yang Mi, Zhou Cang, and Dian Man were left in the house, Zang Ba cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis of Liao newly acquired Youzhou, isn't it because he intends to conquer the world?"

Zhou Cang looked at Zang Ba with a smile, and thought to himself what Zang Xuangao meant? "To be honest, I have more than enough heart but not enough energy."

"The Marquis of Liao is too modest. In the north alone, the Marquis of Liao has three prefectures: You, Ping, and Ji. Moreover, he has Xuzhou, Yingzhou, and our Jilin as aids. In terms of military strength, he is by no means weaker than Cao Cao, and the Marquis of Liao is powerful. It's even better than Cao Confession."

"Xuan Gao should know that although the three prefectures of You, Ping, and Ji are vast and sparsely populated, it is difficult to compete with the Central Plains." Zhou Cang sighed.

"Forgive me, now that the Liao army is strong and the morale is high, don't fight with Cao Cao at this time. When Cao Cao pacifies Hanzhong and captures Jingshu, it will be too late!" Zang Bayue said more and more excitedly: "The Han Dynasty is weak, The government orders are all from the hand of Cao Cao, but the world knows that there is Cao, but there is Liu. I heard that he also called himself Wei Gong. Since Emperor Guangwu, there has never been a person with a different surname to receive this title. His ambition is obvious, and sooner or later he will definitely rebel and usurp the throne. , It is better for Liao Hou to turn his back to the north than to call himself emperor."

"Xuan Gao be cautious." Zhou Cang was startled, he didn't expect that apart from Zhang Jiong, the first one who jumped out to persuade him to fight for the throne was Zang Ba.What does Zang Ba mean?Are you not satisfied with your own corner of Jilin?Or are you trying to test yourself? "The Son of Heaven was coerced by Cao Cao, and he lived in Cao Cao. We and other Han officials should guard the frontier for the country's security and the people, and those who rebel will be punished."

Yang Mi cast a wink at Zang Ba, and Zang Ba laughed. "Don't blame the Marquis of Liao for a moment of aphasia. However, since Cao Cao is the Duke of Wei, why isn't the Marquis of Liao the Duke of Jin and Liao?"

"Xuan Gao made a mistake again. How can I imitate Cao Cao? It's just a title and a false name, so why bother with him." Zhou Cang could feel Yang Mi's relaxed expression from the corner of his eyes.Immediately, he understood that Zang Ba had more elements to test himself, and Zang Ba was most likely worried that he would be dazzled by the victory.Think about it too, if Zang Ba is not at ease in Jilin, why bother to beg for a woman?
"Jilin is a treasure land with fertile land. Minerals, timber, and medicinal materials are inexhaustible. With Xuan Gao, the people will have no worries." Zhou Cang decided to change the subject. "I have ordered Cai Yan to start compiling the history of Liaodong Chronicles. I don't know if you have someone to compile together?"

Zang Ba was overjoyed. Participating in the compilation of history is equivalent to being able to go down in history.He glanced at Yang Mi, Yang Mi coughed lightly: "My younger brother Yang Qin is familiar with history books and has outstanding literary talent, so he can take up this job."

Yang Qin's original partner was the daughter of Kong Rong, who passed away not long ago, and because she and Cai Yan co-edited history, they often exchanged letters, and they fell in love with each other for a long time, and they became a couple.Yangqin is also a capable person, and took the daughters of two great Confucian scholars as wives. Kong gave birth to a son, Yangfa, for Yangqin, and Cai Yan, 35, gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Yangqin: Yangcheng, Yanghu, and Yangqin. Hui Yu.Yangfa and Yangcheng fell ill at the same time. Cai Yan devoted himself to taking care of Yangfa. Finally, Yangfa recovered and Yangcheng died of illness.

On the same day, Zhou Cang held a banquet in honor of Zang Ba in the Hou Mansion.Zang Ba and Xu Shu hit it off right away, while Yang Mi and Xun Chen didn't meet each other so late, and they talked happily.

On the second day, June 25, Zhang Jiong had passed away for seven days. Zhou Cang led people to pay homage to Zhang Jiong again and buried Zhang Jiong.Zhang Jiong's life can be described as full of twists and turns. He was originally a down-and-out swindler who made a living on the street. Because of his quick-wittedness, boldness, eloquence, and good skin, Zhou Cang used him to lurk Yuan Shu's subordinates to stir up trouble in the world. Unfortunately, all of this grew up with him. Buried underground, unknown.
