Winter is getting colder and colder.

In the morning, it even snowed lightly.

Pushing open the door, cold air hits towards you, and Zhang Yue subconsciously pulls his clothes tight.

"Shizhong, the military art test paper has been reviewed..." Hu Jian walked to Zhang Yue and whispered: "The results are gratifying..."

"The total score is fifty, more than forty, almost 70%..."

Zhang Yue listened, no surprise.

In the past few months in Xinfeng, Zhang Yue not only built a strong bureaucratic team.

He also brought his habits when he was in Nanling.

In the townships of various towns, libraries were built, allowing officials to borrow and copy.

The library's collection naturally contains Zhang Yue's masterpieces such as "The Art of War 13 Chapters" and "On War".

The questions for this military art exam are also mainly based on these two military books.

This is a sieve.

Screening talents is the secondary purpose. The first purpose is to screen out those who are incompatible with Zhang Yue’s horoscope and have a bad temper.

The rest are naturally all brainless fans.

So, the question is very simple...

Most of them are fill-in-the-blanks and multiple-choice questions.

As long as you have carefully read "The Art of War 13 Chapters" of Sun Tzu and "About War", you will basically be 40 or even full marks.

"After the arithmetic and grammar exams, start the interview..." Zhang Yue ordered: "This time, only two garrison leaders will be selected from the officials, with ten team leaders and twenty ranks..."

"Only thirty-two people?" Hu Jian's eyebrows frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky.

"Well..." Zhang Yue nodded and said, "This is also helpless..."

Security Guard Song is so popular.

Nowadays, more than a dozen generals or even marquis have submitted letters to Zhang Yue or paid a visit in person, hinting that they would leave a place for their children.

Then, even the emperor would also select generals from Qimenlang and Yulin Guard to come here.

Therefore, the middle and senior officers can only leave thirty-two candidates to Xinfeng.

This is already the limit of what Zhang Yue can do.

"Hu Jun can breathe a little. If you are willing to serve the country and be loyal to the battlefield, you can choose to start with the commander..." Zhang Yue said softly: "I can give you a promise here. If you perform well after becoming an army, you can give priority to promotion..."

The sergeant is the lowest-level officer in the army.

Even, it is just a senior infantryman named an officer but actually a soldier.

The power is really pitiful.

Even the military pay is only more than ordinary soldiers, with more than thirty or fifty cents per month.

Only when you reach the level of your life can you have a certain degree of autonomy, you can issue orders and command subordinates.

In the past, the commander of the Han army was always elected by soldiers, and even the appointment was spared.

In other words, they are actually temporary workers and there is no staffing.

It's just called the commander of the sergeant, it sounds nice.

It’s really not rare for ordinary people.

Especially the people who are taking the exam now probably look down on a small sergeant.

But there is no way.

A song, even a field song, is too small to compile.

However, if Xinfeng wants to expand to the lieutenant department, it is not qualified.

Unless next year, you have fully grasped the surrounding three counties and become a test field for a four-county area, you can only be qualified to report to the emperor and request the establishment of a lieutenant.

Hu Jian listened and nodded silently.

However, Zhang Yue looked towards the palace outside the Taishang Emperor Temple and suddenly spoke: "Your Highness is still discussing with the Wusun envoy?"

"Report to the Secretariat..." Hu Jian lowered his head and replied, "Since this morning, His Highness summoned the envoy, he has been having a secret talk. It is said that the talks are very pleasant..."

"Oh..." Zhang Yue laughed and nodded.

Since Liu Jin reported the conditions negotiated by Zhang Yue and the Wusun people the day before yesterday to the Emperor Chang'an, the Emperor quickly gave a reply and handed over the matter to Liu Jin and Zhang Yue to "do it cheaply."

Crown Prince Liu Ju even sent his most powerful confidant minister, the family of his side, Wang Lai Xinfeng, to follow Liu Jin to deal with the matter.

Wang is not simple!

Zhang Yue has heard of this person.

It is said that he was a famous official in Guanzhong. He once served as the Youfufeng and had outstanding political achievements.

Due to the disaster of Yuyi, he entered the sight of the prince's master, and then his clan's brother Wang Yi recommended it to the prince.

Once appointed, it immediately brought a new trend to the prince's clan.

Especially after the Li Yu case, the king rose rapidly and is now the right-hand man of the prince.

This person has been through the local area for a long time and is a long time official.

He is famous for his calm and down-to-earth style.

This person came to Xinfeng, which was almost equivalent to telling Zhang Yue that the prince had paid attention to this matter to a certain level.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Yue took Hu Jian and called Sang Jun to inspect the workshop garden.

First of all, I looked at the production of the iron mold and everything was in order. Zhang Yue was very satisfied with the view.

Recently, by producing iron models, the sales of Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial Bureau have been nearly 10 million.

This alone is enough to excite people.

All workshops work overtime.

The production of iron molds has given birth to many craftsmen who are proficient in cutting operations in the workshop garden.

This is a very important technical accumulation and primitive precipitation.

Zhang Yue looked at it and was very satisfied.

But on the surface, he pretended to be displeased, which made everyone accompanying him feel uneasy.

When Sang Jun couldn't help but speak, Zhang Yue said, "I heard that if I want to do it well, I must first sharpen my tools! In the workshop, cutting and milling, all of them are made by hand with files and stone grinding! This is not a good idea, so I don't like it!"

Then, a reward was given.

"If anyone can make and cut and mill the tool, he will be rewarded with hundreds of gold and be recruited as an industrial and commercial official!"

Everyone heard this and they all bowed their heads.

In my heart, I will naturally feel at ease.

This is also the subtlety of Chinese-style politics.

There is something to like above and what to do below.

The King of Chu is so thin that he starved to death in the palace!

There were many good shows in 4V in later generations.

A certain Green Party politician praised the banana peel and soy sauce, and a bunch of people followed suit and advocated that such a way to eat it is authentic, environmentally friendly and perfect.

In the feudal era, in order to flatter the nobles, people from all over the country could really use all kinds of methods.

Not to mention, the equipment mentioned by Zhang Yue fell into the ears of the workshop owners who accompanied him, and it was like a natural sound.

This kind of thing that can be praised and made money.

Who doesn't care about it?

At this moment, someone immediately mentioned this matter to his own key project.

However, Zhang Yue looked at the expressions of the people around him and stopped mentioning this matter.

He knew that he would soon see the results!

Because... the original machine tools actually have low technical content.

It was just through a layer of window paper, and there was no obstacle after being pierced.

If it really doesn't work, Zhang Yue can also let Ding Sui take action and "guid" one or two.

As long as the mechanical manufacturing starts, there is no turning back.

Especially in a special environment like the Workshop Garden, profit-seeking capital will carry out technological competitions frantically.

After watching the iron mold production, Zhang Yue, accompanied by Ding Yan, came to the core of the workshop garden, the experimental site of Shaofu workshop.

More than a month ago, Zhang Yue saw the first hydraulic forging hammer in human history here.

That hydraulic forging hammer is just a version that is enlarged from the water cone that is currently widely present in Guanzhong.

Relying on the accumulated hydraulic power, driving the forging hammer is like a seesaw for children to play.
