In the Houya of Xiongzhou Military Commander, Liu Ji set up a banquet and invited several important officials from Hebei Road to the banquet. In addition to the pacification envoy along the border of Hebei Road and governor of Xiongzhou, there were also Zhendingfu Road and governor of Zhendingfu Road and governor of Zhendingfu, Dingzhou Road and governor of Dingzhou Wang Su, and Gaoyangguan Road and governor of Hejianfu. Except for Ma Huaide, these people were all important civil officials and their status was not inferior to Liu Ji.

After three rounds of wine, Liu Jidao said: "Accepting the imperial order, he opened a military academy in Hejian Prefecture. In addition to training the imperial guards on Hebei Road on Damingfu Road, he also recruited talents from the local government to join the school and then assigned them to the army after studying. He has been summoned for more than 20 days in the local government, but no one can be summoned. This matter requires the local government's full help. Therefore, he specially set up a small wine and asked all ministers to come to Hejian Prefecture to discuss countermeasures."

Wang Su said: "Taiwei, Hebei is a side road, and there are not many scholars. The Damingfu Road, which has the most scholars, is still trained in the capital, and it cannot summon people to the military academy there. It is of course difficult to summon people to other state troops."

Liu Jidao: "The military academy summoned people, which is not an imperial examination in the court, and it does not require poetry, songs and essays. It must be easy to summon people."

Lu Qin shook his head: "I am frank, whether it is poetry, songs, or anything else, the test is ultimately human knowledge. There are few scholars on Hebei Road and no place to study, so of course there is not enough knowledge. It is of course difficult to recruit people than other places."

Wang Zhi said: "It is true. This year, the imperial examinations of the imperial court, and the number of people on the list of Hebei Road is only a handful of people. From this, you can imagine that it is really difficult for the Taiwei to recruit people from this road."

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. This year's imperial examination is different from previous years. Ouyang Xiu hosted it and completely changed his style. As a result, the result of Hebei Road was very unsatisfactory, and the number of people on the list was extremely pitiful. The number of people who failed the exam was too large, but they were stimulated in the capital at the beginning of the year and were unwilling to sign up for the military. Besides, the right people who failed the Jinshi had already entered the military academy in the capital.

Ma Huaide said: "Under Xiongzhou's rule, most of them were lost households, and they were not allowed to enter military academies. The people of this dynasty had fewer households and fewer scholars, so it was difficult to draw out people. It would be better to rely on other state troops to recruit military academies."

Liu Ji asked unwillingly: "Even if two losers are lost, the court has now given the order and is not allowed to lose taxes to the Khitan, and they will be the people of the Song Dynasty in the future. They can do it. Do you go back and ask?"

Ma Huaide shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "Taiwei, there are not many people who can read in Xiongzhou, so where can I get people? - By the way, I recently heard from the people below that there are those who are reborn who escaped from Xia Lai, but there are literate people. I wonder if they can do it?"

"Okay, okay!" Liu Ji nodded repeatedly. "The military academy is not another place. As long as he learns it in it, no matter what he is, he can join the army as an officer. The person who returns to the south is what the court should reward, so he can naturally join the military academy."

Ma Huaide said: "In this way, I will go back and let the officials handle it strictly. However, in front of it, the Taiwei must not have too much hope."

Of course Liu Ji knew that Hebei Road was originally a side road, and it was one of the source of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. The folk reading atmosphere was not popular. It was easy to recruit illiterate soldiers from here, but it was difficult to recruit literate officers. However, if the imperial guards were trained, they had to add a large number of generals and officers. It was impossible to select people from the army. People had to recruit scholars from the people.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Lu Qin said: "Taiwei, there is really no way, so what if you want to be reduced? As long as you read and read, you can enter the military academy. It's just a little difficult to teach. Now you still have to study and make plans, which is really difficult for scholars in the countryside."

Liu Ji thought about it and sighed: "Let me think about it again. It has lowered the requirements, recruiting people is easy, but learning is difficult. What the bachelor just said is good. No matter what the exam is, it is the knowledge of scholars. Now, a plan is to test their knowledge, and the requirements are no longer high."

Lu Zhen was the top scholar in the first year of Baoyuan, but he didn't like to interact with others. He was an isolated minister in the court and had not entered the center. What he was talking about was a fair theory, and Liu Ji naturally knew. Since he was taking the test of knowledge, once the requirements were relaxed, it would be difficult to learn.

Apart from Damingfu Road, there are still more than 200,000 imperial guards on Hebei Road, and training requires a large number of talents. Since there are not many scholars, it is impossible to recruit people to meet the needs of the army, so the officers need to be supplemented from the capital. Liu Ji wanted to recruit as many as possible to avoid being unacceptable to the local environment.

After drinking for a while, everyone stopped talking about the military academy and began to discuss the recent border situation. According to the previous deployment, the defense of Hebei Road was carried out by four military routes, namely Lu Qin, Wang Su, Wang Zhi and officials from Damingfu Road. They set up their own Liu Ji Shuaisi, and the defense was actually moved to Shuaisi, and the other four routes only cared for the untrained imperial guards. All the training was carried out, but their military power was actually deprived.

Wang Su said: "Since Taiwei Du won consecutive victories on Hequ Road, the national imperial guards have actually trained once except Hebei Road, but the effect is not satisfactory. This time, the training of Hebei Road is always worse than that of the imperial guards in other places."

Wang Zhi said: "Not bad. I didn't know about it before on Hebei Road. I recently came and saw the three armies who had trained me. Now, the 150,000 imperial guards who have trained me have the impression that they are better than 300,000 original imperial guards."

Liu Jidao: "If you want to complete the training, the most shortage is actually the officer. In the past, the commander was the commander after the training, and after the training was reduced, it could barely be collected. The rest of the common officials were difficult. In the past, the matters in the army were all managed by small schools and officials, and most of them were not enough to be officers. It was too difficult to replace them with officers."

Lu Jun said: "Why do you have to change what someone has done in the army? So what if you use the original school and officials to manage it? This saves a lot of effort. How difficult is it to re-train people in the military academy!"

Liu Jidao: "The bachelors don't know that the school and officials do these things, not by official positions, but by the commanding officers. Without the commanding officers, they will be nothing. Now the army is different. These common affairs will be managed by the Privy Council and the Third Office in the future. They are really inappropriate. They must have studied in the military academy and be familiar with the new military system to manage them well."

Liu Jun said: "Taiwei Du was also a Jinshi. I don't know how he came up with these methods, which made people feel embarrassed. As before, everything was entrusted to commanders. If the war was not effective, it would be so simple and clear to punish the commanders!"

Liu Jidao: "What's the use of being simple and clear? How many victories have you fought before? Since Du Taiwei trained troops in Suizhou, more than 30,000 people have gone to save Tanglong Town, and he has won consecutive victories since then. Even the Khitan king was killed in Tanglong Town. The facts are here, so naturally, Du Taiwei will come to Du."

Wang Su nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "The Taiwei said, "No matter what you say, you can't win a battle, everything will be empty after all. Since Taiwei Du led his troops to open up the Hequ Road and restore the Western Regions, what is not a peerless martial arts? He trained the imperial guards in accordance with his appearance and easily destroyed Dangxiang. If all the imperial guards in the country are trained, it would be no difficult to defeat the Khitan and restore Yanyun."
