In addition to hospitals and theaters, Liu Ba's academy also opened.

Liu Ba's academy was jointly opened with Zhang Bai in the name of the government, so it could not be called an official school or a private school. As a last resort, Zhang Bai thought of a name that only existed in the Tang and Song Dynasties - academy.

The name of the academy was given by Liu Ba, called Qianqiu Academy, because the academy was built next to Qianqiu Pond in Dacheng, and it was named after the lake.

However, Qianqiu Academy could not recruit students at all.

Chengdu is the center of Shu, and it already has a highly anticipated county school. This county school is funded by the state and is the highest-quality Chinese school among government-run schools. The leaders are Du Qiong and He Zong.

These two people are local intellectuals and are respected by everyone. Being able to study in the county school is the highest expectation of local scholars.

However, there are conditions for entering the county school, which mainly depends on the background of the student's family. It is impossible for ordinary poor families to enter the school.

Qianqiu Academy wants to open up a new trend and does not restrict family background. However, because of this, the children of aristocratic families are unwilling to come. They are unwilling to study with children from poor families because they think the price will be reduced.

In addition, the academy is newly opened and has no reputation, so children from poor families are also reluctant to sign up.

People from poor families have too many worries. When they come from poor families, they are afraid that they will not be able to pay their tuition fees.

Secondly, although they admired Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba, their intellectual reputations could not be compared with those of Du Qiong and He Zong.The students are afraid that after enrolling in Qianqiu Academy, they will never have the chance to join the county school, so they are waiting and watching.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Bai became impatient and simply gave Zhuge Liang a task to start the imperial examination.

Moreover, weapons will be given to you when you complete the mission.

This sudden promise made Zhuge Liang very excited. The system had not had a task for a long time, and he even wondered if Zhang Bai's "system" was broken by Huang Zhan that night.

Well now, finally back to normal again.

Within two days, the imperial examination system was grandly launched, and it was extremely efficient.

The results were announced at the gate of the city, and Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty convened a civil and military encore a month later.

Regardless of whether the nobles are from a poor family, all civil and military talents can participate. Those who do well in the exam will be commended. The top five will even be awarded lower-level official positions by the government.

In addition, it also stipulates that spring and autumn will be established every spring and autumn. No. 1 is called the number one pick, second and third place are called the second and third overall pick, etc.

Compared with the imperial examination system of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, this system is extremely simple and rough. However, this roughness also has advantages, as it avoids the huge bureaucratic power that harmed the country and the people like the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

As soon as the list was released, the noble family members expressed their indifference, while the poor family members were greatly moved.

After all, this era is too ruthless towards children from poor families.Without family background, it is impossible to enter the upper class of society. The situation of social class fixation is very serious.

The imperial examination is the only way for promotion for ordinary people, and it is also the only fair way.

Finally, someone finally signed up for Chunwei.There are very few liberal arts candidates, just a dozen or so kittens and puppies.The martial arts department is very lively. After all, we live in troubled times and there are many martial arts practitioners. The number of applicants has easily exceeded [-].

In the meantime, Zhang Bai also did a lot of tricks.

In the mine, almost all of his officers were from poor families.Including Luo Meng, Lian Pai, the old man Gong Dunyang and Jiao Yi, these people were all kicked out to sign up by Zhang Bai.

In the liberal arts examination, Zhang Bai encouraged Shen Ruli to apply, but among the literati from poor families under him, there was only this one candidate, and there was no one else.

To solve the problem of no one participating in the liberal arts examination, Zhang Bai thought of a solution, which was to ask Cheng Qi for help.

Since the local gentry children in Shu are unwilling to participate in the imperial examination, then it is always okay to let them recommend some children from poor families to take the examination!

In fact, there are always some down-and-out scholars or sycophants who hang around the nobles.The aristocratic family is very annoyed by these people, but they cannot drive them away.

After all, they are also considered to be peripheral forces of the big family, and at least they will have the effect of attracting all the stars.

Now is the right time to give these people a chance and give them a taste of the free benefits.

As for the children from poor families, they know very well that they cannot enter the county school. Now that they have the recommendation of the gentry, they can enter Qianqiu Academy, which is an official school. They will not offend the county school, but they can also win the favor of Liu Ba and Zhuge Liang. It immediately became interesting.

A few days later, hundreds of people finally registered for the liberal arts examination. Zhuge Liang immediately expressed his merit to Zhang Bai excitedly, and then shamelessly asked Zhang Bai for the prize on the spot.

Zhang Bai was ready. He spent half the night grinding a fish intestine sword for Zhuge Liang using Jianmu.

Zhuge Liang was very reluctant at first, saying that the sword was not much longer than a dagger, and it was made of wood. In fact, a mahogany sword was better for catching ghosts, and so on.

As a result, Zhang Bai cut off the iron tool used to test the sword with one sword.Only then did Zhuge Liang realize that this was a spiritual weapon!He immediately took the fish intestine wooden sword and examined it carefully.

Zhang Bai told him that this sword was made of rare spiritual treasure, Jianmu, and was valuable. A sword was worth thousands of spiritual beads.

As soon as he heard about the Lingzhu, Zhuge Liang immediately smiled and began to make love with each other.

This Zhuge Liang, when he was with Zhang Bai, looked like a bitch, but he was still a capable prime minister at ordinary times.

At this time, the peace negotiation between Shu and Wu was finally completed, and Zhang Wen, Zhuge Liang and even Liu Chan were very satisfied.

Zhang Wen finally completed his mission and decided to return to Wu State to resume his life.

Will set off soon.

Deng Zhi once again shouldered the important task of accompanying Zhang Wen back to Wu as an envoy from Shu, and facilitated Sun Quan's final signing of the peace agreement.

Before leaving, Zhang Bai gave his eldest brother several bodyguards, all of whom were selected from Zoroastrian believers.These men were strong and worshiped Ahurama, so loyalty was not a problem.

He stuffed silver coins into each guard and asked them to take care of Zhang Wen on the way. He also gave Zhang Wen and Deng Zhi a lot of money and told them to be careful on the road. He would definitely go to the hometown of Wu in a few months.

The two brothers said goodbye reluctantly. After this month of getting along, Zhang Wen has completely accepted this biological brother.

It's not just emotional proximity.

Zhang Wen watched Zhang Bai move around Chengdu, making friends with the prime minister, senior officials and various aristocratic families, expanding his business and increasing his family property, which fully affirmed his character and ability.

If the Zhang family in Wu County wants to revitalize, it will be difficult to do it alone. If Zhang Bai is there to help, then the rise of the Zhang family will be certain.

He had been thinking about how to keep Zhang Bai in Wu State, and he had already thought of a way.

The best way for a family to bind its children and grandchildren is through marriage, which is a big deal.

When Zhang Wen left, Zhuge Liang, Qin Mi, Wu Yi and others came to see him off. Zhang Bai did not participate in the conversation because of his lack of status, and only said goodbye to Zhang Wen.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Wu finally left, letting everyone in the Shu Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief.
