Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Seeing the three of them looking at the man he had captured at the same time, Chao Gai went up to him and kicked the man over, yelling and scolding: "You cowards, what's the matter, do you dare to do it or not?"

The man struggled to get up, let out a sigh, and said to Chao Gai: "A dog that works for the tiger, I can't change my name even if I sit down, and I can't change my surname even if I work. The leader of Brother Gongming's command, [Spray Leopard] Zhang Daneng."

Chao Gai asked: "You can be regarded as a man, why did you come to intercept and kill the angel?"

Zhang Daneng glared at Chao Gai, turned his head and looked aside, and did not reply.

Just as Chao Gai was about to attack, Hou Meng said: "Chao Zongzhi, there is no need to ask. Since this man is the leader of the Qingzhou thieves, it goes without saying that he is here to drive a wedge between the imperial court and Liangshan Prefecture."

Chao Gai said: "I will send someone to invite the high officials to come."

Hou Meng said: "There is no need to go to such trouble. We will hurry up and take the leader of the thief to Bianjing to show off his victory. If there is such a person, the official family will definitely reward him. Since the governor of the state loves elephants, I will definitely speak out and make this happen."

Chao Gai listened and nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Hou Meng left the injured Imperial Army behind and asked Chao Gaiyan to ask a doctor to treat him. However, Li Yuhou was adamant and asked someone to take out the arrowhead, apply gold-creating medicine, and insisted on returning with the army. I don’t know whether it’s because I’m worried that I won’t be able to eat any good fruits if I stay, or because I go back to show my loyalty.

Not to mention that after Hou Meng left, Chao Gai cleaned up the battlefield, burned and buried the corpses, found bullock carts, spread them with hay, and sent the injured sergeants to Fan County for treatment.

Besides, in Baishi Valley, after several rounds of bargaining, Lai Yong'er still had to agree to Zhao Zhen's conditions.

After Lai Yong'er handed over the belongings he brought, he said to Xiao Rang: "Tongju, now that we have reached a consensus, can the [life-seeking ghost] Brother Wang Feibao be released, so that we can attack Yizhou."

Xiao Rang said: "This can't be done. Wang Feibao admires the loyalty of the officials, but also resents Song Gongming for not sending reinforcements when he defended Xintai City. He sincerely surrendered, and now he is a deputy general in the army. He just feels grateful for Song Gongming's kindness in taking him in. I don’t want to meet you on the battlefield. If the military advisor doesn’t believe me, I can send someone to call Brother Wang to confront you.”

Lai Yong'er sighed and said: "The loyalty of high-ranking officials is well known to the world. It's a pity that brother Wang Feibao and I have only a short relationship, so we can't work together in the future."

Xiao Rang said: "The senior officials also know that Song Gongming recruits heroes and always intends to recruit them, so they do not want to kill them all. However, Liangshan must obey the imperial court after all and has to send troops."

"The wishes of the high official, if you can get rid of Gao Lian, you will definitely anger Gao Qiu. At that time, if you can defeat the imperial army and kill all the encirclement and suppression soldiers, and I am afraid of it in my dream, then there will be a day to recruit peace." . If this is not the case, even if you are accepted, you will be treated as a fool."

Lai Yong'er said: "What Tongpan sees is that if we don't show some ability, how can we make him care about us? Even if he is recruited, he will be despised by others. When the time comes, everyone will be separated, flattened and rounded, that's not all. People have the final say. If we can be like the high officials and save a state, then we can live in peace."

Xiao Rang said: "If this is true, we are all in the Jianghu, and we can also support each other. I wonder where the military advisor will go next? This Qingzhou is the highlight of Jingdong East Road, I'm afraid the court will definitely refuse It was granted the title of Jiedu State."

"When I go back, I will discuss it with brother Gongming before I can make a decision. According to the agreement, we will capture Yizhou on our own, but as for Feixian County, the officials need to do it themselves." Lai Yong'er replied.

Xiao Rang nodded, and the two of them tried each other's words again. Lai Yong'er and Zhao Gui still pretended to be merchants, took the young men who came with them, said goodbye to Xiao Rang, and rushed back.

After the two left, Xiao Rang sent people to send all the treasures and other items to Baishi Valley.

Zhao Zhen looked at these treasures and said, "This Song Gongming is much more generous than the official family."

The gold and silver were all high-quality official silver, so Zhao Yuanli sent the gold and silver to the treasury, the ordinary medicinal materials to the medical center, and the advanced ones to Cheng Wan'er, along with the two luminous pearls, and deposited them in the treasury.

Night Pearl (first level, hanging pearls hanging from all sides, looking like stars during the day and looking like the moon at night)

After handling the gifts from Song Jiang, Zhao Zhen said to Xiao Rang: "There are many good men in the state now. I plan to gather all the good men in one place on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to share these hundred bottles of royal wine. Secondly, I will also Get to know the situation in each county.”

Xiao Rang heard this and said, "That's what I was about to say. From a county to a state, even though the land and population in each place have been registered, I'm afraid there are many omissions."

"Next year I plan to count again. I will divide the Kongmu, Caosi and scribes in the state into two groups and send them all to the counties. The officials in the two adjacent counties will also be exchanged with each other to cooperate with the state to count again."

Zhao Zhen nodded after hearing this, and said at the same time: "The spiritual fields, spiritual seeds, spiritual plants, special products, etc. of each county must also be identified one by one. Either redeemed or replaced, these treasures cannot be left in the countryside."

"The most important point is to search each county for heroes with martial arts skills, knowledgeable scholars, and even craftsmen with superb craftsmanship, and make separate records. Those who are willing to serve can be placed in the military, government offices, and various workshops."

Xiao Rang heard this and said: "This is the best. There are many scribes in various places in the government, and there are many students in each county. Why don't high-ranking officials hold a round of provincial examinations?"

"Provincial examination?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"Yes, the imperial examination is divided into three levels: the provincial examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination. The provincial examination is being held in the state. We are in Jimi Prefecture, so naturally it can be held. Normally it is in August and autumn, but we can hold it here years ago. Once again, select talents.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, I appoint officials here myself. Now that there is a shortage of officials, it is natural to hold an examination to select talents. Not only that, but also to hold military examinations. Civil and military Jieyuan, Yayuan, and Jingkui can be directly awarded officials , What do you think, brother?"

Xiao Rang asked: "In addition to high officials, do you also need to recommend and inspect them at the same time?"

Zhao Zhen said: "It's natural. Just like the imperial court, the imperial examination is the right way to select officials. The appointment of subordinate officials, the supplementary award of military merit, the favor of supplementary officials, and the payment of bribes to buy officials must all be retained. In addition, recommendations and visits cannot be abandoned. , although this is not There are many shortcomings in the right path, but it is the current situation in the state. It will be retained in the future. I will personally examine the candidates and appoint them to important tasks according to their talents. There will be no worries. I’m not prosperous here.”

Xiao Rang nodded and asked: "For high-ranking officials, the imperial court selects scholars. Although there are Jinshi, Mingjing, and boy examinations, Jinshi is especially important. How can I handle it here?"

Zhao Zhen said: "To ask the question now, was it so urgent a year ago?"

Xiao Rang pondered and said: "It is better to put it in February, which coincides with the martial arts examination. During this period, the news can be passed on and the students can be well prepared."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "That's fine. The examination questions still need to be discussed by brothers and Xuexue, Zhu Wu, Pei Xuan and others to prevent leaks."

"High official, the first section of this government examination is about poetry and poetry, the second section is about theory, the third section is about strategy, and the fourth section is about scriptures. Should we all take the exam?" Xiao Rang asked.

Zhao Zhen said: "This imperial examination is not a normal autumn, and most of the talents selected are not recognized by the court. How about we declare the merit to the outside world and only test policy theory? In the future, the imperial examination will also be held in August, in line with the imperial court. It's just divided into three levels: township, county and prefecture. Finally, the best ones will be ranked and awarded official positions. "

Xiao Rang heard this and said, "It's feasible."

"So I'm asking you to go down and prepare. As for martial arts, it's just about martial arts and strategy. The imperial court has always adhered to the principle of 'use strategy to determine who will go and stay, and use bows and horses to determine superiority'. This is extremely unfriendly to heroes who are only good at martial arts but not strategy." . This may also be the reason why many warriors with strong martial arts can only end up in the green forest."

"Based on this, my principle here is that anyone with the same qualifications can be hired. There are four martial arts skills: horse shooting, infantry shooting, carbine, and Qiao Guan. Coach Zhang, Wang Jin, Lin Chong, and Pang Yi are qualified for the job. There are two strategies: righteousness and strategy, which are presided over by two brothers, Zhu Wu and Wu Yong."

The two discussed the details again, and Xiao Rang resigned and returned to the state government office to issue a document.

Zhao Zhen sat alone in the hall for a long time, thinking carefully about how Liangshan would develop in the future.

After thinking about it, I don't have a goal. Zhao Zhen called Zhao Ji and sent the news of a banquet and wine tasting on the day of Laba to the heroes everywhere, so that everyone could arrange their itinerary in advance.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen also sent people to spread the news that they would gather early tomorrow morning and set off for hunting in Yuncheng County.
