Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong didn't have the slightest burden in his mind about such things as the question.

When he was in Taoyuan City, he strictly guarded against sticking to it because the questions were all fixed, in order to screen out those who could not read or did not read a lot, and the tests were all about the knowledge points in the textbooks.

But not this time, this time Xiao Zirong directly used the subjective question method, without any basic questions, the basic questions will be screened in the first round of the exam, and the second round will be these live questions.

Of course, he didn't understand the basic questions in the first round, and Xiao Xuexing also said tacitly at the banquet: "The main reason for Rong'er to set up this test is to stop those humble children who are arrogant and pretentious. It’s not firm but easy to aim too high, if you have a suitable child in your family, just go through the motions.”

From his posture to his words, he showed his trust in the children of the big family. He said so much that he even revealed the final questions. Can't make it through?

In this case, they have to figure it out, the children who have better choices in the main branch will definitely not be sent there, but those who are too useless cannot be sent there.

King Jinling believed everyone so much, and said that for the sake of fairness during the exam, to convince those poor children, the names of all the test papers will be pasted on, and then a special official will be found to transcribe the test papers. The channel knows whose papers are judged.

Where has such a perfect way to prevent cheating been seen by people today?

It takes time to think about the so-called policies and countermeasures. Xiao Zirong gave him a very tight time, and even revealed that his Taoyuanwei was responsible for transcribing the papers, and the officials of the royal family were the ones who read the papers. Killed the opportunity for these people to be opportunistic.

Even if someone wants to bribe the copyist to make some inconspicuous marks when copying, and then bribe the reviewing officials, it is impossible.

Looking at it this way, some more capable children from the side branch can be sent there. These children may not be worse than the main branch, but if there is a good thing, the main branch must be the first. They always have to wait and must be better than the main branch disciples. Too much to get ahead.

Xiao Zirong aimed at these people. These people are talented, and their backgrounds are either good or bad, which is embarrassing.

If someone pushes her to the next level, if she is really capable, Xiao Zirong doesn't mind recommending someone to enter the center.

Xiao Zirong thought about everything, and originally wanted Xiao Xuexing to see if there were any loopholes.

But Xiao Xuexing directly refused and said: "This is not a big deal, you can handle it yourself, is it possible that you will have to rely on me for everything in the future?"

Xiao Xuexing was working hard to break up with Xiao Zirong, and if he let himself go like this, he was afraid that one day he would do something irreversible.

See if he can get everything back on track while he can still get himself under control.

Xiao Zirong didn't think much about it, and felt that what Xiao Xuexing said made sense, so he directly notified the county magistrates to give a speech.

There will not be too many people admitted in this batch of exams, and they will not be given official positions directly, but will be placed under the hands of some officials to observe and study, and arrangements will be made if suitable.

The examination procedure was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Xiao Zirong was not idle during this process, urging the barracks to start the next step after the disarmament—selection.

He wants to select some personal guards from the barracks. He said before that he would let Jing Shi lead the troops, but until now Jing Shi has been following him like a guard. It feels like he is fooling people, not quite suitable.

Simply taking advantage of this opportunity, he handed over the planning of the number of people to Mi Cai and Xie Junsheng, and he didn't need to keep an eye on such trivial matters.

Then he took Jing Shi to the newly planned military area.

It is said to be a military region, but in fact it is basically a barren open space now, because the land is not fertile enough, and the water source is far away, so no one comes here to reclaim wasteland, but it is suitable for the establishment of a military region.

At this moment, soldiers from all over the country have arrived here and are setting up camp. Naturally, they could only live in tents at first.

It's just that Xiao Zirong found that he seemed to have overlooked one thing-these troops came from different places, and there might be some friction between them, so he heard that on the first day he arrived here, there was a war in the barracks. Two group fights.

Although the injuries were not very severe, it was quite troublesome how to make these people condense from a mess of sand to a group.

After Xiao Zirong came, he didn't say much, he just called the generals in, and when the generals arrived, he could still hear the noise outside.

The generals looked at those Taoyuan Guards who were tall and straight like statues, and then looked at the sloppy soldiers under them. At first, they were a little ashamed.

But after finding out that everyone is similar, only Taoyuanwei is the most special, they stopped thinking about that.

Xiao Zirong was very calm. Discipline never existed without special emphasis. These generals did not have the habit of restraining their subordinates, so their subordinates would naturally become loose.

It's okay, come a little bit, anyway, no one needs Jinling's soldiers to do anything in the short term.

After letting everyone sit down, he asked: "Do you have statistics in your army, how many literate soldiers are there?"

Literacy?

When Xiao Zirong said this, everyone was a little at a loss.

Captain Lei Shan once stayed under Xiao Xuexing for a while. At that time, Xiao Xuexing didn't have his own Xuezi camp, so he recommended him because he thought he had potential.

It can be said that Xiao Xuexing is the only reason for Captain Lei Shan to be able to be what he is today, otherwise it would not be so smooth due to his background.

Although the regent may have forgotten him, Captain Lei Shan still remembered this kindness and always wanted to repay it.

It's a pity that he has no skills, and it seems that he can't do anything, but he heard that King Jinling has a very close relationship with the regent, so he has always stood by King Jinling.

Xiao Zirong knew that this relationship was very kind to him, so he was the most relaxed person in the barracks. At this time, when he heard Xiao Zirong's question, he couldn't help but touched his head and grinned and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" The requirements are a bit high, Qiu Ba is a rough man, even we don't know many characters, let alone soldiers."

Xiao Zirong: ...

He also didn't expect that even the officers were illiterate, but thinking about Xiao Xuexing's Xuezi camp, he didn't seem to be surprised.

It's not that he has never seen such a situation. Before Taoyuan City was built, there were not many people who could read, and now even if not the whole city can read.

He is most familiar with such things as literacy.

Xiao Zirong waved his hand directly and said, "It's okay, start learning now."

Lieutenant Lei Shan's face was a little dazed: "What do you want to learn?"

"Learn words, read books."

Crowd: ...

Jing Shi on the side was also a little surprised, there was no conflict between being a soldier and being illiterate.

Xiao Zirong is not surprised to see everyone’s emotions are very contradictory. Not everyone is really happy when they hear that they can learn. If learning is not compulsory, only people with great perseverance can persist. down.

He said softly: "I don't care what the soldiers are like, but you still have to learn. If you don't learn, you will only stop at the post of captain in your life. Don't you think about going further?"

Lieutenant Lei Shan looked around and whispered, "This...is not our decision."

Indeed, without a background, without a backing, even if one has the strength, it is not easy to rise, unless there is a chance from heaven, it is possible for a person with great luck.

Like Xiao Xuexing.

It's true that Xiao Xuexing came from a good background, but it's not like he hasn't fallen into the mud before. It's luck that he can get there now.

Xiao Zirong chuckled lightly: "I know what you guys are thinking, but isn't there me here?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong said seriously: "Do you think I hold the military parade just for fun? If that's the case, I'll just let Luoxuewei from Taoyuan Guard come. What are you doing? What I think is that next year's military parade will just happen to invite His Majesty to come. Come and watch, it’s up to you whether you can stand out by then.”

After he finished speaking, he smiled slightly at everyone's fiery eyes and added: "You have to know that we just negotiated peace with Wei Guo recently, and we promised each other not to invade each other within five years. Five years is not considered a period of time for a country. What, but for you... how many five years do you have? Even if you really fight after five years, you may not be able to go to the battlefield, so in the process, if you want to get ahead, you have to think about other things The way. As for the way, I have thought of it for you, but if you don’t work hard, then I can’t do anything.”

Lieutenant Lei Shan immediately said after hearing this: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I... I will study hard!"

Xiao Zirong nodded with relief and said: "Before that, I will select a group of people to be my personal guards. These people can be literate or not. Naturally, someone will teach them the selection criteria. I will let people know, and after the selection is over, I will leave a part of Taoyuanwei to teach you how to read."

Jing Shi bowed slightly and asked: "Your Highness, should we push this matter? Now that the barracks have nothing, let them build houses first."

Xiao Zirong said: "It's okay, these two things don't conflict."

He saw that someone seemed to want to say something, so he said with a gentle face: "When Taoyuan City was not built, Taoyuan Guards were also studying and building the city at the same time. There was no delay at all. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

When Xiao Zirong said this, everyone shut up.

How could they not be able to do what a group of little ladies in Taoyuanwei could do?

Xiao Zirong looked at these people very happily. When he transferred Taoyuanwei to come here, he just wanted to stimulate these people.

I have to admit that sometimes men are superior to women, and sometimes it is useful, at least Xiao Zirong is very happy to use it here.

Xiao Zirong turned his head and said to Jing Shi: "You know the selection criteria, you stay here for the next two days and wait for someone to be selected before taking them back, and then we will conduct unified training and teaching."

Jing Shi's expression froze: "That... Lord Lang..."

Xiao Zirong looked at him, and Jing Shi whispered, "I can't read either."

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong was silent for a while and sighed faintly, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Finally Xiao Zirong said: "Forget it, you can study with them later."

These things are not troublesome things, because with the previous experience in Taoyuan City, Xiao Zirong can do these things with ease.

In the eyes of the officials of the palace and Xie Junsheng who don't know the truth, it is the Jinling king who is very wise and close to a monster, and nothing can make him feel troublesome.

Oh, no, in fact, there are still things that make him feel troublesome.

After all, something went wrong with the exam, but the problem didn't come from the exam process or the test questions, but from a group of young ladies.
