Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 445 Dongmei Hall

In fact, not only Zhao Yu, but Huangfuying and Zou Huimin also heard of the Wenchang Pavilion rally for the first time.

All three of them are good at wielding guns and clubs, and they are more curious about the gathering in Wenchang Pavilion. Dong Bai and Diaochan have either seen or heard about it, but only Cai Yan and Zhen Luo dream of participating in the Wendou here like men.

"Okay, now that you've entered the Wenchang Pavilion, let's take a stroll around your favorite places. It's too eye-catching to always get together."

Liu Yu found it uncomfortable to be stared at no matter where he went, so Cai Yan and Huang Fu Ying went to Chunlan Hall to enjoy the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Zhen Luo went down to Xia Zhu to watch the new poems and songs of celebrities accompanied by Zhao Yu. endowed.

Diao Chan and Zou Huimin decided to go to Qiuju Hall to listen to people discussing the current situation, while Liu Yu brought Dong Bai to Dongmei Hall.

The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and most of the people waiting in Dongmei hall are from poor families, and Liu Yu went to Dongmei hall just to see if there are still talents covered in dust.

Different from the other three places, officials from Dongmei hall came early to organize the selection of those poor children.

"Anyone who thinks he has a skill can show it in turn."

The official in charge here is Liang Quan, a disciple of Sikong Xun Shuang, and the current official Cao Cheng.

Many poor families have studied hard for many years in order to be able to leap the dragon's gate with a carp, and they all crowded around as soon as they heard it.

"The villain Zhang Qing, a native of Shangcai County, Yuzhou, is good at poetry and prose, please appreciate it."

"I'm Sun He from Chenliu. His character is far-sighted. He has learned politics from Mr. Zheng. Please compare him."

"Wang Fu from Taiyuan asked Mr. Liang to give him a chance."

"The people of Yangdu in Xialangxie..."

Seeing that the crowd had no rules and only knew that it was crowded, Liang Quan's expression became much more severe.

"Crowding and crowding are insulting to politeness. How decent is it? Mr. Liang still has important matters to deal with. If you are talented, you can come and line up with me."

A small official stepped forward to stop the crowd, and then carefully reported a few words to Liang Quan's ear, but Liang Quan didn't speak, got up and left.

"The official just said that he was going to be screened and tested, why did he leave the venue before waiting for others to show?"

Dong Bai looked at Liu Yu beside him with a confused expression.

"Hehe, this Dongmei hall is full of children from poor families. How can they get enough attention? It's just going through the motions. Unless someone introduces them, it's hard for these people to have a bright future."

Liu Yu sighed with regret. Although not all the children from poor families were genuine scholars, there were indeed many who missed their official careers because they had no introductions.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu really wants to make a big reform in the selection of talents. The raging wars in the late Han Dynasty caused the decline of many gentry families. At the same time, there are more and more talented people among the poor. In fact, Kui and the others were all from humble backgrounds.

Therefore, Ju Xiaolian's talent selection system is outdated, but whether to use the Jiupin Zhongzheng system or directly copy the imperial examination system from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Liu Yu still needs to carefully weigh it.

Seeing that Liu Yu was deep in thought and silent, Dong Bai tugged at the skirt of his shirt again.

"Husband, look quickly, that man named Liang Quan is back again."

Not only did Liang Quan come back, he was accompanied by someone Liu Yu knew.

In order not to let acquaintances know his identity, Liu Yu hurriedly dragged Dong Bai to hide behind the crowd.

"Who is Wang Fu?"

Seeing that no one agreed, Liang Quan raised his voice again.

"Wang Fu from Taiyuan, can you be in the hall?"

"The villain is from Taiyuan, Wang Fu."

An old scholar over the age of four Xun hurried forward to meet him.

"Okay, you don't have to wait in line here. The person in charge of Situ's Mansion recommends you, so go directly to Liucaoli and try it out for a few days."

After Liang Quan finished speaking, Wang Kai clasped his fists in thanks. The two were old acquaintances, and they left together after a few polite words.

When Wang Fu heard that he could go to the government for an internship, tears of joy streamed down his face. Many children from poor families stepped forward to congratulate him, while many showed contemptuous expressions.

"Studying hard for more than ten years, but in the end it's not worth a relationship!
At this time, without Liu Yu's explanation, Dong Bai could understand it.

Wang Kai is the chief steward of Situ Mansion, and also Wang Yun's nephew, the so-called sixth-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. If Wang Kai came forward to recommend him, Liang Quan would naturally want to save face.

…………

There are not many people who are as lucky as Wang Fu. Most of the poor children can only queue up to register their name and place of origin in front of the small official brought by Liang Quan, and then they are told to wait for an interview.

In fact, there will be no summons, and the interview has already ended. Without the recommendation of a celebrity, Liang Quan would not even take a look at these poor children, so how could he waste more time on the interview!
Liu Yu looked at it for a while and found it really boring, because what most of the poor students learned was almost meaningless.

Although the path of children from poor families is admirable, after all, their family resources are limited, and there are not many people who can really afford to buy books. Perhaps their own wisdom is not inferior to that of children from rich families, but what cannot be changed is that they lost from the very beginning. At the starting line.

After all, there are only a few treasures left in the sea. Liu Yu was already very satisfied with winning Jia Kui and three people in Bingzhou before, so he didn't insist that he could find useful people here.

"Husband, this Dongmei hall is the most boring place every year, let's go look elsewhere."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was still highly recommended, so this Dongmei hall was more like a farce, queuing up to register, and then leaving. Don’t say that the officials didn’t give the poor families a chance, the blame can only be blamed on the gentry for controlling the talent market.

Just as Liu Yu was about to leave, he suddenly heard an exciting name coming from the front.

"People from Yangdu in Xialangxie, their surname is Zhuge, their single name is Jin, and their style name is Ziyu."

"I have learned a lot, and I dare not say that I know astronomy and geography..."

Zhuge Jin still wanted to show off his talent and learning, but was mercilessly interrupted by that petty official.

"Okay, just register your name, don't talk so much nonsense."

This little official had a rich look on his face, and it looked like the rich people in Luoyang City got jobs through the back door.

"Don't hold back, there are still a lot of people queuing up at the back. After finishing my work, I have to go to the Chunlan Hall to listen to Yalelang's new rhythm."

Zhuge Jin shook his head helplessly, with disappointment written all over his face.

"That's why I shouldn't have come to Luoyang. It is said that small traders in the capital have to rely on connections if they want to go to the West Market to do business. How can I, a poor boy who has been down for a long time, get into the eyes of the court? I just don't know now. Is it still time to rush to Jiangdong?"

In Jiangdong Wu County, Sun Jian and his son Sun Ce swept across the six counties, bringing together the forces of Yan Baihu, Wang Lang, and Sun Yao under their command, and became one of the strongest princes in the southeast.

After quelling the chaos, great governance is needed, so Sun Jian personally wrote a call to action to recruit capable people from all over the world.

Zhuge Jin was studying near Lujiang, not far away at that time. If it weren't for hearing that Wenchang Yaji was reopened, he would have drifted to Wu County in a boat.
