At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Basically, after the capture of Buwei County, the entire sphere of influence of the Han people in Yongchang County has been obtained, and the rest are the tribal settlements of those foreigners living in Yongchang County.

Have a certain civilization, have a certain social order and social class differentiation, have rulers and ruled, cooperate and trade with the Han forces around Buwei County, and occasionally have some small-scale conflicts and the like.

For this type of tribe, the Wei Empire has already figured out a set of effective methods.

Defeat and destroy the upper class, leaving the lower class, men working as coolies, and women as a whole into the Han nationality to increase the population, so assimilate them and make them disappear in the long river of history.

Whether it is the Southern Huns, the Xianbei, the Qiang people, the Wuwan people, as well as the Gaoguli and Sanhan in Liaodong, they were all assimilated by the Wei Empire using this strategy.

Not only can it increase the population, but it can also increase social construction, allowing the Wei Empire to have a large enough labor force for a package of large projects, and the price is extremely low, and there is no need to worry about civil uprisings caused by overuse.

Because the ones used are not the people of Wei State at all, but war slaves.

After knowing that there are more than 100 million foreigners hiding here, Guo is very happy. He feels that the south-central section of the main artery of the Shu Road has a labor force that can be used on a large scale.

So no matter from which point of view, Yongchang County must be won.

Bonan County, Bisu County, and Jietang County are all in chaos.

The local county magistrate and government officials fled to death. The county seat was either occupied or empty. The Wei army occupied the county seat without much effort, then defeated the thieves who occupied the county seat, and carried out large-scale raids around the city.

After this wave of raids, the rebel forces around these counties were almost wiped out, and the rebels who had just assembled and ran around looting were no match for the Wei army at all.

On the contrary, the local Han people regarded Wei Jun as a savior and reunited around Wei Jun, so that Wei Jun quickly won the support and support of the local Han people.

At the end of March, Le Jin's troops arrived in Buwei County, and defeated more than [-] rebels in Yongchang County [-] miles north of Buwei County, beheaded [-] people, captured the enemy chieftains, beheaded them, and then advanced to Buwei county.

It's a pity that Buwei County has been burned, killed and looted, and it has become ruins. Le Jin felt very sorry, and then continued to march, further expelling the rebel army of various ethnic groups after Lu Kai's death.

There are a large number of foreigners living in the west and south of Yongchang County.

Tribes such as Min, Pu, Jiuliao, Nupu, Biyue, etc., and some people from Zidu country also live in the south of Yongchang County, each with a population ranging from 10,000+ or ​​hundreds of thousands.

Most of these places are deep mountains and old forests, which are the settlements of these foreign populations.

They have their own civilization and production. In peacetime, they will use their special products to trade with the Han people around Buwei County, and they will also pay a certain amount of tribute for peace.

However, during the period of war, everyone turned into bandits one after another, looting everywhere, burning, killing, and looting.

On the whole, it is also quite chaotic. The forces of all parties are intertwined, and there is no one who speaks in common.

Chapter 1216 One Thousand 120 Six The first imperial examination in history was officially held in Luoyang

It is actually a good thing for Wei Jun that the various forces in Yongchang County do not have a unified speaker.

Because there is no unified speaker, they cannot gather together to resist the Wei army, and can only fight on their own.

Le Jin can't concentrate his main force to deal with these tribes right now, so for the time being, he can only concentrate his troops in Buwei County to resettle the refugees and restore order.

In this case, the resistance forces of Yongchang County, which could not gather together, could not threaten the Wei army's control area.

"Right now, we can't rashly go south or west. Our army here has only [-] troops, which is more than enough for self-preservation and not enough for aggressiveness. At least we have to wait for the arrival of General Huang and General Zhang's troops to concentrate our main force before we can defeat these tribes one by one. "

Law thinks so.

"If you want to break down one by one, they won't sit still. If we don't respond here, do you think they will take the initiative to test?"

"If you come to test it, then call back. Right now we are more than self-protected. Does the general still have any doubts about what the army in Nanzhong looks like? I don't have any doubts anymore. Even if there are another hundred thousand troops like this, they will not be a threat. Our army."

Fazheng blocked Le Jin's words back, and Le Jin had nothing to say again.

He knew exactly what kind of eggs these so-called armies with poor combat effectiveness would collapse at the touch of a button.

The thing to do now is to reorganize the Han forces around Buwei County, restore the county, wipe out the remaining powerful forces, and build the grassroots regime of the Wei Empire.

Then, just wait for when the army of the three counties will do what they should do well, and come south to meet with each other.

When Zhang He and Huang Zhong brought the troops, as long as they had [-] troops, Fazheng felt that the Wei army could launch an active attack.

It was rare for Le Jin to compete with Zhang Liao in record, and of course Fazheng wanted to satisfy him.

At this time, the overall situation of the entire Nanzhong Pingding campaign has been decided, and basically there are no more twists and turns, just waiting for Le Jin to develop further and do what he is best at to the extreme.

Someone Guo didn't even pay much attention to this matter.

Because he felt that with Wei Jun's current strength, it would not be difficult to deal with Yong Kai, and with a little manipulation, he would be able to keep him from rebirth.

If all this could go wrong, Le Jin, Fazheng and others from the Western Shu Front Army should all come to Luoyang to apologize to him, and then die obediently.

So all his energy is on this year's imperial examination.

On the first day of March in the eighth year of Yande, the first imperial examination in history was officially held in Luoyang.

Because it is a start-up, there are still many uncertainties, and many people have not been able to make it to the capital because of the long distance.

But that doesn't matter, because the initial stage of the imperial examination is once a year, every time there is a new opportunity, every time there is a new harvest, there are so many opportunities, I am not afraid of being caught.

One year is not enough for two years, two years is not enough for three years, and three years is not enough to do it again.

Guo Peng intends to at least wait until the people in the world agree with the imperial examination, and then change the imperial examination to every three years.

The important task at this stage is to make people in the world familiar with and accept the existence and significance of the imperial examination.

In order to turn the imperial examination into an actual and formal system as soon as possible, and to truly apply it to the selection of officials in the imperial court, Guo surreptitiously rejected the public opinion, and directly held the imperial examination in March this year without waiting for complete preparations.

The imperial examination is divided into two types: Wenju and Wuju. The two kinds of examinations are conducted together. The Wenju is presided over and supervised by the Ministry of Rites.

The essay exam took three days.

After intense debate, the content of the assessment was confirmed.

First of all, before the literary examination, a physical fitness test is required. Only students who pass the physical fitness test can obtain the status of candidates.

If you can't pass the physical fitness, don't take the test, just go home and exercise.

The requirements are not high. In this era where everyone is generally lacking in nutrition, Guo did not set the content and standards of the assessment very high. He can only say that he is physically qualified.

If you can't pass this level, then you really don't want to take the exam.

Don't prepare for the funeral if you haven't done a few days of work.

The work intensity of officials in the Wei Empire is really high, not fake. The work intensity of [-] cannot be endured without good physical fitness.

After passing the physical fitness test, there is a formal written test.

On the first day, the five classics, arithmetic, astronomy and geography are tested. It is a comprehensive test paper with a full score of [-].

On the second day, the exam on agriculture, natural disasters and prevention of natural disasters is also a comprehensive test paper with a full score of [-].

On the third day, policy theory was discussed, and the content was to express one's own views and propose solutions based on the two problems currently encountered by the country presented on the roll paper.

There is also a speech on a current problem in the country that I have learned, what problem, and the solution that I have thought of.

[-] points out of [-].

It is equivalent to a three-day exam, with a total of [-] points, and finally ranked according to the scores. Those who rank higher are admitted, and after a certain number of people, they will be dismissed and not passed, and they will be retaken in the next year.

This is a complete set of models, exams, grading, admission and dismissal, the first time in history that such talent evaluation rules have appeared, and it is still nationwide——

The Talent Discussion Ceremony in Yecheng that year was very special, although the final top three were also called No. [-] and Tanhua.

However, it is still slightly different from the imperial examination that is now officially designated as a national policy.

Even so, Guo Peng also issued an edict, acknowledging that the Talent Discussion Ceremony of that year also belonged to the scope of the imperial examination, and recognized the results of the top three people that year.

Zhuge Liang thus became the first recorded number one scholar in history.

Now this imperial examination is the first imperial examination held under the name of the imperial examination, and it is also a formal national imperial examination, and it is still an imperial examination regardless of background.

Li Shu's children, those mud-legged people are also eligible to take the exam.

And it's not necessarily impossible to get good grades.

Due to time constraints, Taixue didn't even have time to start classes to systematically impart the content of the exam to students, so once you take this exam, it's tantamount to taking the exam naked and trying your luck.

Everyone is the same.

Li Shu's children often have an advantage in farming, and in the entire scoring program, the highest score is not Jingyi, but policy theory. The scores of the Jingyi test and the agricultural knowledge test are equally high.

The fairness of this exam has been taken into account to the greatest extent——

Because everyone is unprepared, and some people even have no time to rush to Luoyang, and then face the brand-new exam content, and quite a few people just give up and wait for the next year to take the exam again.

Those who dare to take the first imperial examination this year are all warriors.

Compared with the tragic atmosphere of Wen Ju, Wu Ju is somewhat different.

The martial arts exam is also a three-day exam, and the officers who lead the troops at the grassroots level are selected.

On the first day, the physical fitness test was a long-distance cross-country weight-bearing obstacle run similar to a triathlon. It tested the candidate's physical fitness level and willpower, with a full score of [-].

The second day is the personal military skills assessment, which tests the use of various mainstream military weapons, equestrian skills, archery skills, and understanding and use of military formations. The full score is [-] points.

The third day is the written test.

Due to the high requirements for the army and soldiers, Guo has high requirements for the martial arts written test.

The staff desk is responsible for setting questions, asking candidates to answer questions that are often encountered during the march, such as camping, food road protection, water source protection, and night attack prevention.

Then there is the excerpt reading comprehension of today's mainstream military books, requiring candidates to choose an excerpt from a military book they are familiar with to answer.

The full score of this exam is also [-] points, and the full score of the entire martial arts exam is also [-] points.

The rules are the same, ranking from high to low, and after a certain ranking, all will be dismissed and will not be admitted.

Chapter 1217 One Thousand 120

Different from the Wenju exam, the Wuju exam has stronger professionalism and high requirements.

Not only must you have a physical foundation, but you must also be able to read and write, and you must also have a certain reading experience in military books, so many civilian warriors are blocked from this link.

They are all illiterate, or even if they can read a few words, they can't read and write, let alone read military books.

The only thing they can participate in is probably the first day's exam, and they probably won't be able to participate in the second day's professional martial arts exam.

In short, Wei Jun's combat quality is no longer at the militia level, and civilians who have not received professional training cannot obtain rankings in the martial arts examination.

Therefore, the number of people who can take part in the martial arts examination is very limited, basically they are people from the original army, and there are relatively few people from the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall.

For this reason, Guo Peng has announced that, like Taixue, a large increase in the number of people who can enter the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall to study.

From only accepting people in the military to civilians, people can also apply for reference, and relax the application requirements and reduce the difficulty of the entrance examination.

As long as you pass the assessment, you can enter the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall to participate in the study, and after three years of study, you can take the martial arts exam.

Then, in order to further standardize the participants of the martial arts exam, improve the level of the martial arts exam, and avoid the situation that martial arts will not be taken seriously in the future, Guo Peng stipulated that starting from the third martial arts exam, the martial arts exam should also have Shouyang Mountain Only those who are students of the lecture hall can participate.

When the time is more mature, Guo also plans to set up some state-owned and county-owned lecture halls in other states and counties, so as to expand the base of martial arts students, so as to better select the best from the best and select truly outstanding military personnel. talent.

After both Wenju and Wuju are established, someone like Guo can go back and provide various teaching facilities, standardize teaching standards, etc., and in turn promote educational reform.

The results of the two civil and military examinations were released on the same day, and the rankings were also arranged in the same way.

Wen Youwen No. [-] Scholar, Wu You Wu No. [-] Scholar, boast officials in the imperial street on the same day, and the emperor personally hosted a banquet on the same day to congratulate and encourage these proud sons of heaven to create greater glories.

To show the country's basic national policy of laying equal emphasis on civil and military affairs.

Under the guidance of this basic spirit, in November of the seventh year of Yande, Guo Peng issued an edict to let students who intend to take the imperial examination rush to Luoyang to prepare for reference.

Although the time was urgent, after receiving the news, the students from all over the country rushed to Luoyang in a hurry. There were many children of the gentry who were bound to be officials in the past.

While they were confused, they rushed to Luoyang. It was the first time they felt such pain in order to be officials.

However, Li Shu's children feel that they have found a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity. As mud legs, one day they will be able to obtain student status, become students, and have the qualifications to take the imperial examination.

This was something they never dared to think about in previous years, but now, it has become a reality.

They can take the exam, and once admitted, they can become officials, change their destiny, and embark on a smooth road in life.

How exciting is this?

With longing for the future and gratitude to Emperor Wei, they hurried to Luoyang.

The registration point for Wen Ju exam is at the gate of Luoyang Taixue, and the registration point for martial arts exam is at the gate of Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall.

The principle of registration is that as long as you have an account of the Wei Empire, you can sign up for the exam, but there are still some restrictions in actual implementation.
