Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2311: The Two Prime Minister’s Talk



Both Prime Minister Lan and Prime Minister Xian could only increase the number of officials they accepted each year and cultivated more people to send to various places.

Most of the times, the officials they sent would be officials who have been working in the court for some time.

In this way, they could be rest assured that these officials were not spies or anything like that.

But there were also some occasion when they sent the people who had only passed the examination if their results were good enough. Feng Ao Kuai back then was one of the examples.

His result was simply too good and his background was very convincing.

So they have no problem to send Feng Ao Kuai directly to the city to become an official there and manage the city.

But there were not many people like this.

Now that the war with Fan Yi Kingdom had conquered several cities, they were in for a happy trouble.

"There are not enough people again?" Prime Minister Xian frowned.

The matter of recruitment fell on Prime Minister Lan's hand most of the time because Prime Minister Xian was not on Emperor Yang Zhou's side for that long. In the matter of selecting new people, Emperor Yang Zhou trusted Prime Minister Lan more than Prime Minister Xian.

For this matter, Prime Minister Xian had no complaint.

He knew his background and his own past well.

Besides, the people whom Prime Minister Lan picked so far were quite reliable and Prime Minister Xian had no complaints.

"Yes." Prime Minister Lan nodded. "There's still some time before it's time for the next examination. I have the list of the candidates who will participate this time but there are no guarantee that all of them will pass."

The examination itself was harsh and those who could be selected had to be the best among the best.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

While Fei Yang Kingdom did need more talented and capable people, they would not relax their standards just because of this need. They still needed to maintain the standards as much as possible when recruiting new people.

After years of accumulation, some of their youths had already learned the teachings required for examinations. Naturally, these confidents youths tried to take the examination and some of them managed to pass the preliminary examination.

They still have to pass the next examination before being able to enter the court, but it was already a great achievement for them to reach this far.

As time passed, Prime Minister Lan believed that there would be more and more of these people.

"I see." Prime Minister Xian nodded and opened the scroll.

Looking at the fact that one bamboo slip had two names written along with basic information, Prime Minister Xian glanced at Prime Minister Lan.

How did the number increase so much?

Is the preliminary examination got lax?

"I didn't change the questions' difficulties." Prime Minister Lan seemed to be able to read what Prime Minister Xian was thinking. "There are indeed many talented people who want to contribute to the kingdom."

Well, not all of them wanted to contribute because there were also some people who definitely only wanted the glory and position.

But it was good enough.

At the very least, these people did have the capabilities since they were able to pass the

examination.

Prime Minister Xian nodded and looked at the list. He looked at their basic introduction and then asked, "How about this person from your Lan Family?"

"My grand nephew?" Prime Minister Lan shook his head. He wanted to help his family but the premise is that they needed to have the capability. "He's too young and impulsive. It's better to temper his temperament first."

Prime Minister Xian nodded.

He didn't know much about the Lan Family and had no interest to dig deeper.

As he scrolled the name down, there was a familiar surname appearing in his line of sight. Looking at this name and the introduction behind it, Prime Minister Xian spoke the name out loud, "Nan Hou Xiang?"
