Sanlang bid farewell to Qiu Ming and went home to make careful calculations. This is a big deal and a good opportunity that must not be missed. But to start a business, you must be careful. Not only do you have to use your own savings, but also

It is not easy to mortgage your assets and loan money from the bank. The bank must control the risks. At this time, Saburo's status as a military subordinate comes into play.

After seeing off Sanlang, Qiu Ming returned to the house and was suddenly bored for a while. He sat there and looked out the window quietly.

Towards the evening, Fu You, a friend from Xiangyang, suddenly arrived. Seeing Qiu Ming, he hurriedly said: "In two or three days, the new school in Xiangyang will recruit people. Why don't you take the exam too? If you pass the exam,

Once you finish your studies, you can become an official!"

Qiu Mingdao: "What new school? The previous school was not recruiting at this time."

Fu Youdao: "This new school is different. I can't tell you what the specific difference is. However, it is different from the previous school. The status of those who graduate from the school is higher. This is for sure. In fact, many people are not recruiting for the first time.

Know."

Qiu Ming smiled and said: "If it is really important, it must be widely publicized. How can it be a good school if it is so sneaky?"

Fu Youdao: "You don't know. I heard from people that the first time we recruited people, we mainly recruited those rural tribute scholars, as well as some officials who had lost their lives and went south. There are quite a few of these people, so naturally we can't let everyone take the exam.

"

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said: "If you have nothing to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will go to Fucheng for a walk."

At this time, Xiangyang was already one of the few industrial and commercial centers in the world. In recent years, the population has increased dramatically. The land within the city walls has been occupied, and a large number of people have moved to live outside the city. Fancheng across the Han River has also expanded rapidly, and is the original

several times.

On the next day, Qiu Ming took leave and took a boat across the Han River with Fu You to Xiangyang City. Looking at the bustling crowd, Qiu Ming sighed: "If there were so many people suddenly in the past, local officials would definitely

Worried about food. But it is different now. There is no shortage of food, and the government is still thinking about how to make these people make money and live in peace."

Fu Youdao: "I heard a new saying recently. When you make money, you have to spend money. Someone will earn the money you spend. As time goes by, the whole society will have more money. If there is more money in society, the government will

There will be more taxes. Do you think that’s great?”

Qiu Mingdao: "These words may not be wrong, but they are definitely not that simple."

While chatting, the two of them walked inward along the avenue. Following Fu You's instructions, they arrived near the Yamen of Zhenfushi. They saw a small house not far from Zhenfusi, with many people lined up outside.

.

Fu You said: "This is it. The people who are signing up now are local tribute scholars from all over the country, as well as officials who have been disgraced. The government has a list of these people, so let them sign up directly. Naturally, there is no news about us people.

.”

Qiu Mingdao: "If this is the case, how can we apply for the job? They are recruiting scholars."

Fu Youdao: "We also went to school, aren't we scholars? Just go, they asked us to register. Yesterday I went, and the person in charge of registration didn't ask any questions at all, and just registered. After registering, shouldn't we be allowed to take the exam? Take the exam

If we pass the test, we will not be allowed to go to school."

Qiu Ming was hesitant and moved to the back of the queue. When he arrived, he just registered his name, identity, place of origin, family background, and parents without asking any questions. He signed up smoothly. Although he was a little confused, he was still very excited after coming back.

After walking around Xiangyang City, Qiu Ming took Fu You to drink until the afternoon.

In the Zhenfusi living room, Wang Xiaolie looked at Shen Zun and said: "In the Battle of Guanzhong, you made great contributions and you deserve to be rewarded. I have written down all your achievements, and you will be rewarded in the future. We don't care here. Whether you want to be a general in the army or an official in a yamen, you have to learn it. In a few days, there will be a school in Xiangyang City that specializes in teaching people like you to become officials after they graduate. You should go there first and learn a lesson. Half a year, okay?"

Shen Zun raised his hand and said, "Everything will be at the discretion of the governor."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "My arrangement is one thing, the rules are one thing, and what you think is another matter. Let me make it clear that my arrangement is not important, and it is not important what you think. It must be Complying with the rules is the most important thing. Only when you comply with the rules can you do things according to your ideas and my arrangements. In the order of the three, the first is to comply with the rules, the second is to follow your ideas, and the third is to do things according to my arrangements. How to arrange it."

After hearing this, Shen Zun was stunned for a moment. He had lived for more than thirty years, and this was the first time he heard such a statement. As the governor of the town, Wang Xiaolie thought that his arrangement was at the end. What were those words?

Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't think too much. I want to tell you that under my rule, schools are very important. I want to arrange for a person to do something, but what if he doesn't want to do it? Then find another person. If the person you replace is not good enough, then go to school to study, and then go back when you are good at it. Therefore, I arrange for you to go to school to study for a period of time, and don't have any objections. You must know that those who learn in this way are qualified officials."

Shen Zun cupped his hands and said, "I obey your orders."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Speaking of which, this school was originally set up for some students who passed the exam. Now we don't have exams similar to those we used to do, so we will teach some content other than being an official. The main content you learn is the actual practice of being an official, not just empty talk. After entering, you must study seriously. Don't think that you don't need to study if you become an official."

Shen Zun said yes. Looking at Shen Zun, Wang Xiaolie was silent for a while.

During the Battle of Lintong, Shen Zun gave up his concubine and led the Song army to sacrifice the city. His approach was controversial and not everyone recognized it. Even Wang Xiaolie himself did not approve of this approach. .But no matter what, after the war is over, Shen Zun will still be rewarded heavily. The treatment of Shen Zun shows Wang Xiaolie's attitude to the people in the occupied areas.

When a war breaks out in the future, when Wang Xiaolie's army counterattacks, officials in the occupied areas can look at Shen Zun. Some people may change their ways anyway. This reduces Wang Xiaolie's losses, protects the people's personal property, and speeds up the process. The pace of war.

In fact, the current Wang Xiaolie still does not have enough manpower. But Wang Xiaolie would rather have some things left unattended than to arrange for officials to take office casually. These are troubled times, and it is normal for many things to be left unattended. Once officials are assigned In the past, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future. The appointment of some unqualified officials will not only increase the number of redundant officials, but also harm the people under their rule, and will also bring chaos to the officialdom.

For many things, the more urgent it is, the more it is necessary to slow down. You cannot rush and wash away the mud. This slowdown may seem chaotic for a while, but it can ensure long-term peace. Now from Zhenfusi Yamen to the state below

There was a shortage of officials everywhere in the county. Wang Xiaolie asked other officials to serve, and even allowed local autonomy in many places. He was not in a hurry to send officials. Instead, he set up schools in Xiangyang for training.

The confidence for this is that the reorganization of the army is about to be completed, and Wang Xiaolie has complete control of the army. As long as the army is in his own hands, other things are not so urgent. Who he wants to replace in the future is just a matter of words. In this era, the barrel of a gun
Chapter completed!
