Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 555
I remember watching a documentary about the imperial examinations. It took three days to answer the examination papers of the imperial examinations in the past dynasties, and it took more than a month to approve the examination papers. However, there is no escape from the traditional Chinese human relationship. In the same year as Grandpa's protégé, look, can Uncle do his best in regards to my nephew?
But when I arrived at Wang Hou's place, the results came out in three days. One morning, at the gate of Xiangping's temporary tribute courtyard, a large red admission list was posted there, with a lot of names written on it densely, and as the list was released. In an instant, the literati who had been waiting for a long time, like flies smelling carrion, huffed and surrounded a large area, their eyes shining brightly, talking and talking.

"Am I on the list?"

"No. 27 on the second list, go up!"

"Wenhua List! Xiangping Wang Jian! He is indeed on the list! But what does Wenhua List mean?"

For the sake of this list, Wang Hou, Zhen Mi, and Xu Shu each had a fierce fight, uh..., what they did on the bed in the previous scene made Wang Hou gasp for "doing it", almost If he hadn't been beaten to the ground with his extraordinarily firm will in the end, he wouldn't be able to get out of this list today!
The reason is that the three people have different views on selecting scholars. Zhen Mi, a talented woman named in the late Han Dynasty, and Xu Shu are not good at writing, but they are also serious scholars. , The words rhyme or not, in short, if you don't write the article like an embroidered flower, you won't be able to catch the eyes of these two great gods.

But Wang Hou didn’t care about these things at all. The article was written like a flower, and it’s no use for an official who can’t even pour a toilet. Regardless of whether it is a test or an argument, he depends on whether the choice is right or wrong, whether he extracts the arguments required by his speech in the article, and expresses the corresponding policy measures. If these cannot be achieved, they will all be fucked!

So what he likes are those papers that are written dryly, but have a clear mind and quick thinking, and they don't miss any questions. But in the eyes of Zhen Mi, who is good at writing, these papers are also nonsense!

However, the biggest feature of Chinese politics is compromise!There is something new with Zhen Mi. After the battle, Wang Hou subdivided the list of candidates. The two of them are optimistic about the literary talent but the ten papers are all nonsense and have no practical use. A Wenhua list is still placed on the top list, and the face is finally given enough.

Of course, Huahua is at the top of the list, but it’s useless. The higher-ups commend you for your well-written article, and then you’re knocked down!The top list and the second list below the Wenhua list are the highlight. The ten people admitted to the top list will report directly to Wang Hou's office in the General's Mansion. Wang Hou will personally assign county magistrates, magistrates, county magistrates and other leadership positions. More than 400 people will be admitted on the second list. Candidates are assigned by the staff of the general's mansion to serve as the county magistrate, county merchant agent, and county treasury cao.

With an average score of one point, a county magistrate can be equipped with more than 40 subordinates, which is even more serious than the Song Dynasty's overbearing members. There are also county industrial and commercial bureaus, water conservancy bureaus, and agricultural bureaus. Wang Hou is considered light.

It is precisely because of Wang Hou's peculiar admission method that the people on the list this time exceeded everyone's expectations. The few scholars who were listed at the top searched for their names on the list in despair. I didn't even see it, and I was drooping my head listlessly, when suddenly, someone exclaimed in disbelief: "Feng Fang! Feng Fang, a lowly person, is actually on the top list!"

"And Lun Zhi, this bastard is actually on the list!"

"A lowly slave, an old man, this Wang Zhenbei servant is really crazy!"

In the midst of the excitement, the first imperial examination in Liaodong, which had a great impact, finally came to an end. The candidates who failed the exam wandered home dejectedly, grinning and cursing inwardly that all the gifts from the relationship they were looking for had been fed to the dogs, but some of them still had The self-motivated ones circled the papers of the first and second ranks, which were bound into a booklet and hung there, and tried to find the reason for their failure from the circles and crosses drawn on it.

However, unconsciously, the selection mechanism of passing the exam and competing with one's own talents for the top position has begun to take root in the hearts of the people.

…………

On the other side, the General's Mansion!
For the candidates who failed the exam, today is an unfortunate day, but for the admitted candidates, today is the day when the sky will fall, especially for the rich and noble children in Xiangping City, no matter how much they pass the exam High official position, which means that at least Wang Zhenbei will not exclude them in the recruitment of talents. There is still a possibility of collusion between the local gentry and Wang Zhenbei, which is very meaningful to both parties.

Among these people, Feng Fang was undoubtedly the most confused one.

In terms of background, he is a standard poor family, not to mention that he has been a small official in Liaodong for generations, and his parents were still convicted and demoted to slaves by Gongsundu. As soon as he got hotheaded, he went to sign up, especially he put aside the task assigned to him by the Liu family, ate the food sent by the Liu family, and passed the imperial examination.

But after the exam, he completely regretted it, and offended many powerful young masters in one breath!Especially to prevent Liu Sheng, son of the Liu family, from coming to Taiwan,

Moreover, he even used the Liu family's grain for private use, and looked back at Ping County empty-handed. Why should the Liu family pull out his skin?
As for taking the imperial examination?After finishing the exam, he came to his senses. Even if he is very talented, how can he use his face to compete with some powerful families?What a daydream!

Not to mention, if he followed the normal process, he would really be daydreaming!Just when Wang Hou decided to record the imperial examinations and posted the news, even under his nose, many staff officers under his command received notes from outside families or old acquaintances. so and so!
The editor-in-chief Xu Shu has no interest in Qingzhou, but this old boy does not write gorgeous articles, and he admires talented scholars. Among the submissions he received before the exam, he also pre-determined a few, according to this The progress, let alone Feng Fang, even those temporarily powerless gentry in Xiangping have to be like the Yizhou faction of the Shu Han, and don't try to squeeze in.

But before the papers were approved, Wang Hou took a pot of paste, which changed everything.

The obfuscated name system is really not Wang Hou's invention. Since the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination has had this system again. It is to prevent this kind of internal relationship. Although there are policies and countermeasures, the really rich and powerful family dignitaries can still Make an appointment with the examiner in advance, which line and paragraph of the article to write which sentence, and the password will be accepted, but this time, these Qingzhou giants were caught off guard!
Even Xu Shu, who "has his own heart", saw an old man walking in with nine young children, bowing down neatly on the ground, his face twitched slightly.

But looking at these ten outstanding people who passed the "civil service examination" and were really selected to do practical things, Wang Hou himself was the boss, he was happy to be the boss, imitating Mr. Cao, full of leadership spirit, and everyone He stroked his beard with a smile and nodded.

"Please, everyone, you are all elites in Liaodong, hard-working people, and I am lucky to be able to recruit you into my command!"

But before the polite words were finished, the old man with the white beard was already extremely proud, holding his hands on the ground and shaking his head.

"The former Gongsun family didn't use me, so that they lost consecutive battles, lost their masters and lost the city, and even let General Wang occupy their ancestral graves. It's really that they don't know who they employ, and they have no eyes! Today, General Wang has shown the talent of Lun with the imperial examination. For a certain, the general is indeed Shi Bole, and this general has created an incomparable achievement outside the Great Wall, and has shown his grand plans, Lun congratulates the general!"

"Forehead……"

Among the ten, what Wang Hou doesn't want the most is actually this old scumbag Lunzhi, among other things, the life expectancy of seventy is rare, and this old scumbag is over 60, and he has to retire even if he delays his retirement. How much energy do you have?Can go up the mountain to lead the land reclamation!Or go down the river and dig embankments!Unlike those young people, who are so energetic and easy to cultivate.

But now, stunned, Wang Hou had a new understanding of this old bastard. To paraphrase Zhuge Liang's lines, there are such brazen people in the world!Looking at this old Wang Po who sells melons and boasts about himself, he even forgot the official accent that he wanted to use later.

"Forehead……"
