Unknowingly, it’s 400 chapters, and it’s another beginning. I’m sorry for the lack of updates these days, and thank you for your support!
In the post house, as soon as Xu Shu left, everyone gathered around. Although they believed in Ju Shou, it was their first time in Jingzhou and they had some doubts in their hearts.
Knowing that everyone must be worried at this time, Jushou did not hide it and said to everyone: "Everyone, just now Yuan Zhi has come to say on behalf of Master Zhou Mu that any position we can hold in Jingzhou is entirely up to us.
, I think you all have heard of the Talent Recruitment Hall in Xiangyang, and no one has been able to pass through the many levels in the Talent Recruitment Hall."
Everyone was stunned.
"The Talent Recruitment Hall? It's the place where talents are gathered in Xiangyang City. I heard it's very famous in Jingzhou?"
"It turned out to be a good move to join the talent recruitment center."
………………
"Everyone, there are seven levels of checkpoints in the Talent Recruitment Hall, and they are divided into two types: civil and military. Regardless of whether it is civil or military, as long as you pass the first two levels, you will be regarded as a talented person. You will be recognized by Jingzhou. You can
As an official in Jingzhou, we came here rashly this time. Even if Master Zhou Mu arranged a position for us, we may not be satisfied. Moreover, we are in a high position without merit, and others may be dissatisfied. Now.
Everyone in the Talent Recruitment Hall depends on their ability. The more checkpoints they pass, the higher their official position will be in Jingzhou in the future, and others will not be dissatisfied. General Zhang and I have decided to go to the Talent Recruitment Hall tomorrow to take the assessment. Everyone
You can choose a time to take the recruitment examination according to your own situation."
Jushou turned his head and looked at Zhang Jia, gesturing for Zhang Jia to speak.
"Although I only recently learned the name of Jingzhou Liu Qi, I know that Liu Qi was able to defeat the Cao thieves and defeat Sun Ce from Jiangdong. The strength of Jingzhou is evident. Now that Jingzhou has just annexed Yizhou and its power has greatly increased, it is the time when talents are needed.
It is also the time for me to show off my skills. Mr. Yuan Zhi has just said that in Jingzhou, everything is based on talent, rewards and punishments are clear, merit will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. There is no need to worry about villains. As for this assessment, I
Zhang Jia has been fighting for a lifetime, but I want to see what kind of test can stump me." Zhang Jia said with a loud laugh.
"General Zhang is right. Although Jingzhou's strength is still slightly inferior to Cao Cao and Ming Gong, it is a good opportunity to develop and grow at this time. General Zhang and I have decided to stay in Jingzhou. If you stay, you can
Stay in the post station for a while and choose a time to take the assessment. If you feel that Jingzhou is not suitable, you can leave. General Zhang and I will not stop you. As for the families of those who leave, we will also send their families to them after they settle down.
Deliver it." Jushou said solemnly.
"My lord and sir are very righteous, and I am willing to stay in Jingzhou. Although I have just arrived in Jingzhou, I feel that the stability in Jingzhou cannot be found in other places."
Chen Lin, who was sitting below Ju Shou, said with a cup of her hands that he had a big feud with Cao Cao. He was the one who wrote all the submissions for Yuan Shao's troops. Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, his destruction will be a matter of time. The only one in the world who can always contend is Jingzhou.
Already.
After arriving in Jingzhou for a few days, he already had a preliminary understanding of Jingzhou. Although it was peaceful inside, it had been actively recruiting troops and hoarding grain and grass, which clearly meant expansion.
"Haha, you are right. I, Guo Yuan, also want to see how difficult this Jingzhou assessment is."
When everyone looked around, they saw a tall and indifferent man, with a sinister look on his face, which made everyone feel cold. Everyone knew that this was Yuan Shao's general Guo Yuan, and he was a famous scholar.
Zhong Yao's nephew. Although his personality is a bit extreme, his skills cannot be underestimated, and his bravery is no less than that of Han Meng.
Seeing everyone turning to himself, Guo Yuan didn't care at all: "I only know that my uncle said that it would not be wrong to follow Mr. Yu. He doesn't care about the rest."
"Haha, General Guo's words are wonderful, but we think too much." The person who spoke was Yan Jing. This man, both civil and military, rarely made statements in Jizhou. This time, he was persuaded by Xu Shu to come to Jingzhou.
…………………………………………………………………………………….
The news that Ju Shou and others were going to the Talent Recruitment Hall for assessment was not blocked by Liu Qi. Some time ago, Ju Shou and hundreds of people suddenly arrived in Xiangyang. Many people in Xiangyang had noticed it. At this time, they heard that they were going to the Talent Recruitment Hall for assessment. One by one
Naturally, I paid close attention to him in every possible way. He was waiting at the door of the recruitment hall early in the morning.
In the recruitment hall, Liu Qi also arrived early in the morning with Xin Xianying, Xu Shu, Jia Xu and others. Xu Shu personally presided over this assessment.
"Lord, the questions in the first few levels have been arranged, but the subordinates need to deal with them personally. However, the assessment of generals requires the cooperation of General Zhao." Xu Shu said with a hand, generals also have multiple assessments, including military skills and martial arts.
It even requires arm strength.
The assessment of the art of war and the ability to command troops naturally does not require Zhao Yun's intervention, but the assessment of martial arts requires Zhao Yun's supervision.
"It doesn't matter, Zilong will be here soon." Liu Qi shook his head and said. After Zhao Yun returned to Xiangyang with Liu Qi, he was responsible for the defense of the entire Xiangyang. At this time, he should patrol everywhere.
"My lord, everyone from Jizhou has arrived."
"Oh, since that's the case, let's start the assessment." Liu Qi turned to look at Xu Shu, who nodded and walked out in a few steps.
In front of the Talent Recruitment Hall, under the huge signboard, Ju Shou and Zhang Jia stood side by side, followed closely by four or five people in different clothes.
Jushou raised his eyes and looked at the huge signboard of the Talent Recruitment Hall and the crowd around it, a little stunned. Although he had expected it, he did not expect that it would attract so many people today.
He looked at Zhang Jia next to him, and both of them nodded secretly.
He turned around and looked at the people behind him. They all looked a little dazed. Even Guo Yuan was a little cautious: "Everyone, there is no need to worry about the separation between the inside and the outside of the recruitment hall."
"Yes." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a bit difficult to take the exam under so many people's attention.
"Everyone, there are seven levels of assessment in this recruitment hall. If you pass the first three levels, you can be appointed to an official position. However, the more passes you pass, the higher the official position you will be appointed to. In addition, you can also obtain higher official positions by accumulating merit.
"Jushou explained.
Everyone looked thoughtful, and I think the first three steps should be easier.
"My lord, I've been waiting for a long time." At this moment, Xu Shu came out dressed in Confucian uniform.
Seeing Xu Shu, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar. At this time, the names of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others had already spread throughout Jingzhou, and their abilities were even more legendary.
Yi Ji has always been in charge of the usual assessment of this talent recruitment hall. Unexpectedly, Xu Shu was in charge this time. It can be seen that several people who came for the assessment had already been approved by Liu Qi before the assessment.
At a teahouse next to the Recruitment Hall, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui and others were sipping tea while looking at the people outside the Recruitment Hall. This time Ju Shou and others came to Jingzhou for assessment, and they could be counted among the first batch of people from outside Jingzhou.
, if they succeed, they will definitely be able to attract more people with lofty ideals to take the exam, which will definitely be an impact on the scholars in Jingzhou.
These people are all top figures in Jingzhou Shilin, so why not pay attention to this assessment.
"Jushou, the talents of Zhang Zha and Zhang Zha are among the top figures in the world. This time, my lord asked these two people to participate in the assessment publicly. Is there anything else to do?" Sima Hui said with a frown. Several of them also had doubts about Liu Qi.
He knew quite a bit about it, and naturally he would not think that Liu Qi mobilized troops and mobilized people like this just for the assessment of Ju Shou and others.
"Haha, you, have you forgotten the academy?" Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "My lord, there are so many students in the academy who are clearly paving the way. Otherwise, after a year and a half, this group of people will come out for assessment all at once.
Isn’t it easy for something to happen?”
"You mean?" Sima Hui looked solemn. The number of students in the academy has exceeded 3,000. Most of them have a strong foundation. The reason why they are recruited into the academy is to train them.
, which can be used by Liu Qi in the future.
However, if people from the academy hold high positions as soon as they come out, wouldn't it be inconsistent with Liu Qi's original intention of meritocracy?
Nowadays, both Jushu and Zhangzhi are rare talented people in the world, with outstanding abilities. If such people want to hold official positions in Jingzhou, they need to take assessments, so the academy will definitely have a series of assessments in the future.
A small talent recruitment center obviously cannot meet Liu Qi's needs. In doing so, Liu Qi may not have the intention of establishing another organization for selecting talents.
"It's just that I'm short-sighted." Pang Degong also nodded. Liu Qi's small move undoubtedly revealed his ambition without reservation.
Naturally, the purpose of selecting talents is to expand the power, and the ambition is not small.
"Haha, my lord's move reminds me of Jixia Academy." Sima Hui said with a smile.
"Jixia Academy?" Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "Jixia Academy is a place for studying Taoism. Not many talents in it can be reused. Once the academy mentioned by the lord can be established, then the whole world will be affected.
All the talented people will definitely be taken under the lord's command, so why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"
"Yes, one by one passing the examination and obtaining official positions will lead to the rise of aristocratic families. It will undoubtedly be a shock to those aristocratic families that have been passed down for a long time. It not only wins over the hearts of scholars all over the world, but also weakens the aristocratic families in disguise.
Power, my lord, this move can achieve many things with one fell swoop." Pang Degong said with a solemn expression.
"Haha, although it is an impact to the aristocratic family, it is not an opportunity. Looking at the world, even the aristocratic family with the longest inheritance will eventually decline one day. Although this move has an impact on the aristocratic family, it may not be able to make the aristocratic family
The disciples move forward bravely and increase their awareness of life and death, which is more important than anything else." Huang Chengyan said with a thoughtful look on his face as he twirled his beard.
The reason why there are countless rules in the inheritance of aristocratic families is to prevent any generation of family heads from being incompetent and leading to the decline of the family. However, even with these rules, the aristocratic family still cannot continue to pass on.
It is even more difficult to rebuild a family. Once Liu Qi made this move, those idle children of the family had a way out. Naturally, they would no longer be doing nothing all day long like they are now. Even if the family declines in the future, if they encounter one or two
A progressive family member can also make the family prosperous again.
Several people had different thoughts. Over there, Xu Shu had already led several people into the recruiting hall.
In the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion, Xin Pi and Liu Biao were sitting opposite each other, playing chess. Since letting Liu Qi inherit Jingzhou, Liu Biao no longer interfered in the affairs of Jingzhou. Apart from playing chess with Xin Pi, he rested in the mansion all day long.
"So Qi'er has already captured Yizhou." Liu Biao looked a little dazed with the chess piece in his hand. In just a few months, Liu Qi actually captured Yizhou, doubling his power.
"Exactly, then Liu Zhang has already left Yizhou with his family." Xin Pi said with a smile.
"Haha, maybe the most correct decision in my life is to let Qi'er inherit Jingzhou." Liu Biao said with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Then what happy event is there today?"
"Haha, I can't hide it from you. Today, the Duke and others are going to take the examination of the Talent Recruitment Center. It should have started now."
