The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1596: The Imperial Examination of Jing State

On that day, the Liangjie Mountain Military Department issued a document, reducing the combat time of the entire army to twelve hours, with a rotation every twelve hours, and a day off after twelve hours of fighting.

The atmosphere in Liangjie Mountain became more tense, because it was only like this during the first Liangjie Mountain War. Once it goes a step further, the rotation every six hours will enter a period of full confrontation. If the rotation is every two hours, it will be the final life-and-death battle, and there is no room for any carelessness.

In the last battle of Liangjie Mountain, both sides had tried their best. The human race and the dragon race changed their defenses almost every two hours, and a large number of human and water race soldiers filled Liangjie Mountain with their lives.

Fang Yun received the document and looked outside. Changing defenses every twelve hours means that there are nearly 40 million soldiers participating in the war, and the reserve army must have at least the same number, and the army in training must have at least 40 million people.

Liangjie Mountain has completely turned into a terrifying war machine.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the third batch of armies from the countries of the literary world had been trained. The State of Chu sent two armies, one of which was directly incorporated into the Qishan Army, and the other was the Feixiong Army, led by Prince Jing.

The battle suddenly became fierce.

Once again stepping onto the Liangjie Mountain, Fang Yun had no time to read, but kept staring at the battle between the Pearl River Army and the monsters in front.

Because there were three hundred barbarian kings constantly using magic in front, the tactics of the Pearl River Army were weakened to the extreme, and they could no longer stop the monsters from climbing the city, so the battle on the city wall was particularly fierce.

A large number of war poetry soldiers will fight with the monsters, while the officers and soldiers of the human race will be in the rear, either using bows and crossbows to shoot, or using war poems, and Fang Yun is at the back of the army.

In the previous battles, Fang Yun only used more than 20 war poems on average every day. After the appearance of the three hundred barbarian kings, the number of war poems used by Fang Yun every day soared to 100, and now the number of times he uses it is more, which can be regarded as a full participation in the war. It is only to prevent the monster king Qianwang from attacking, so his talent has been maintained at about 80%.

The other military scholars can only maintain their talents at about 60%. If they want to maintain more talents, the military will inevitably suffer huge casualties.

The Liangjieshan Military Department has ordered that all the military scholars or scholars should be prepared to be called up at any time even if they are resting after the rotation. Once the demon king and the barbarian king suddenly attack the city, all the military scholars must go to the city to fight.

The fierce battle makes everyone abandon their selfish thoughts. In addition to killing demons and barbarians, in addition to staying alive, there is no room for any other thoughts.

It seems that everyone has forgotten Gou Bao's bet, and no one cares about the actions of the King of Chu.

Zhang Jing'an would write a letter to Fang Yun every once in a while. He has now entered the secret place of the literary world to study. At the end of each letter, he would always encourage Fang Yun, hoping that Fang Yun could become the first among the armies of Liangjieshan, plant the flag of the Pearl River Army on the top of the city of Liangjieshan, and go down in history to wash away Zhang Wankong's stigma.

However, the top 30 in the Liangjie Mountain Military Merit Book are almost fixed, because each army is very powerful, has the same combat time, encounters a similar number of monsters and barbarians, and no one steals merits, so the number of daily military merits of each army is almost the same.

The Zhujiang Army has always been in the tenth position and has not fallen, but it is difficult to go further.

The Zhujiang Army has Fang Yun, and is very efficient in killing monsters and barbarians, but the main force of the Wenjie has much more experience than the Zhujiang Army, and the number of scholars in each Wenwei position is twice that of the Zhujiang Army, and the overall strength is far above the Zhujiang Army.

However, since they have already defeated Gou Bao, the generals and soldiers of the Zhujiang Army no longer care about the ranking and are serious about eliminating monsters and barbarians.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Jinshi exams in various parts of the human race officially began, and the candidates who were participating in the battle in Liangjie Mountain sighed and lost this opportunity, but no one complained.

A few days later, the results were released in various countries.

There are ten first-class Jinshi in the ten categories, and without Fang Yun, there is no first-class Jingguo.

This year, the people of Jingguo were not as disappointed as in previous years, because the A grade can indeed prove the strength of a country in some aspects, but the proportion of the B grade is equally important.

If only the proportion of B grade candidates among the candidates of the country is calculated, Jingguo ranks fourth, second only to Kongcheng, Shuguo and Qiguo, and becomes the focus of discussion of the human race, which means that the national strength of Jingguo is rising!

Every year, Jingguo publishes a list of the number of Jinshi in each city. The first place is naturally the capital, and the next four cities are the prefectures of the four states. According to the rules of previous years, starting from the sixth place, it is the prefectures of each prefecture that compete for the ranking.

However, Ji County and Ning'an County both broke into the top ten, and the number of Jinshi in the county town exceeded that of the prefecture city, which attracted the attention of the ten countries. After all, one prefecture governs nine counties, and the number of Jinshi in the prefecture city is often ten times that of the county town.

Therefore, scholars from all over the human race yearn for Wudao River and Ning'an County more.

Many people also found that the Jinshi of Ji County were more inclined to Confucianism, while the Jinshi of Ning'an County were mainly majoring in engineering, agriculture, law, medicine and other schools, and the majoring in Confucianism was a minority.

Among the Jinshi of Ning'an County, the proportion of scholars majoring in engineering was the highest in the country, because in Ning'an County, scholars of engineering could get real dignity and deserved rewards!

After the intelligence personnel of various countries handed over the information to the cabinet, the cabinet officials of various countries were furious, because more than one-third of the Jinshi of Ning'an County this year were scholars or their descendants from various countries, which was a brain drain for various countries.

Choose with your feet.

The cabinet officials of various countries expressed regret that if some of them stayed in their own country, they would definitely get better treatment in the future, but those people firmly believed that they could only settle down in Ning'an County. In addition to Fang Yun's appeal, what other reasons were there?

So, officials from various countries investigated and soon realized that there was a problem with education and propaganda, and it was the fault of the Ministry of Rites and the Academy of Literature.

It was not until this time that the cabinet officials of various countries realized how useless their own education and propaganda personnel were. Compared with the officials of Ning'an County, they were simply a group of pigs.

The relevant officials of those big countries were barely okay, but the education personnel of those weaker countries, when compiling their own compulsory textbooks, all noble and friendly people used the scholars of other countries as examples, and all those who committed crimes or made mistakes used the scholars of their own country as examples. This is no longer educating students, but treason.

There are also some scholars in the Ministry of Rites who take their own country's salary to speak for other countries.

The most exaggerated is Wu Shaoqing, the Honglu Temple of Shen State, who openly accused the officials of his own Ministry of War of being narrow-minded and believed that it was stupid to suppress the barbarians excessively. The main mission of the Honglu Temple should be to ensure the interests of both the country and the barbarians, not just to gain benefits for the human race.

Therefore, the cabinets of several major countries immediately launched a cold purge of some government offices, and would not allow those people to continue to harm their own countries. However, several small countries made a lot of noise but did little, because the forces behind those people were complicated, and they dared not arrest them even with solid evidence of collusion with foreign countries, so they could only compromise.

Some clean officials had nowhere to vent their anger, and cursed the cabinet ministers for being blind and the country would no longer be a country.

Some scholars who knew the inside story were even more disappointed with the country, and they were even ready to set off for Ning'an.

There were also many scholars who watched coldly, and they had long been accustomed to it. Those cabinet ministers and senior officials would not care about the harm those officials did to their country, nor would they care about the future of their country's students. Their main responsibility was to fight for power and profit, and then to govern the country.
