Chapter 421 Enke
Seeing the three of them looking at the man he had captured at the same time, Chao Gai went up to him and kicked him over, scolding him: "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: "Those who are the accomplices of tigers. Dog, I can't change my name, and I can't change my surname. The leader of Gongming's brother, [Spray Leopard] Zhang Daneng."
Chao Gai asked: "You are a man, why did you come to intercept the angel?"
Zhang Daneng glared at Chao Gai, turned his head and looked aside, and did not reply.
When Chao Gai was about to go up to fight, 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 alienate the relationship between the imperial court and Liangshan Prefecture."
Chao Gai said. : "I will send someone to invite the high-ranking officials to come."
Hou Meng said: "There is no need to bother, I will hurry up and take this leader of the thief to Bianjing to show victory. With such a person, the official family must have Reward, 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 Forbidden Army behind and asked Chao Gaiyan to ask a doctor to treat him. Li Yuhou was adamant and had someone 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 anything good 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 an ox cart, spread it with hay, and sent the injured sergeant to Fan County for treatment.
As for 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 property he brought, he said to Xiao Rang: "Tongjian, now that we have reached a consensus, can the [life-seeking ghost] brother Wang Feibao be released, so that we can attack easily? "Yizhou."
Xiao Rang said: "This can't be done. Wang Feibao admires the loyalty of the officials and resents that Song Gongming did not send reinforcements when he defended Xintai City. He surrendered with sincerity. Now he is doing it in the army. I am the deputy general. I just want to thank Song Gongming for your kindness and 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 Yonger sighed and said: Our loyalty is known to all the world. It’s a pity that we and Brother Wang Feibao have only a short relationship and cannot work together in the future.”
Xiao Rang said: "The senior officials also knew that Song Gongming recruited heroes and always wanted to recruit them, so they did not want to kill them all. However, Liangshan had to obey the imperial court after all and had to send troops."
" The official's intention is that 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, you will be afraid of it. In this way, even if I accept the invitation, I will still treat you as a fool."
Lai Yong'er said: "What I see is that if you don't show some ability, how can you make him care about us? Even if we are recruited, we will still be despised. When the time comes, it is not up to these people to separate themselves. If we can be like the high-ranking officials and save the state, then we can settle down and live in peace."< br>
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 essence of Jingdong East Road, but I'm afraid that the imperial court will definitely refuse to grant it the title of Jiedu Prefecture."
"When I go back, I will discuss it with my brother Gongming before we can make a decision. According to the agreement, we will capture Yizhou. As for Feixian County. , but 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 hurried 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."

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 Learn about the situation in each county."
After hearing this, Xiao Rang said: "I. That’s what I’m about to say. From a county to a state, even though the land and population of each place have been registered, I’m afraid there will be many omissions.”
“I plan to do another census next year. Once, the Kong Mu, Cao Si, and scribes in the state were divided into two groups and sent to each county. The officials in the two neighboring counties also exchanged with each other and cooperated with the state to do the statistics again."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said at the same time: "The spiritual fields, spiritual seeds, spiritual plants, specialties, etc. of each county are also included. They must be identified one by one, either redeemed or replaced. These treasures cannot be left alone in the countryside. "
"The most important point is to search for heroes with martial arts, knowledgeable scholars, and even skilled craftsmen in each county, and make a separate list of those who are willing to serve in the military and government. , can be placed in any workshop. ”
Xiao Rang heard this and said: "This is the best. There are many scribes in the government, and there are many students in each county. Why don't the high-ranking officials hold a round of rural examinations?"
"Provincial examinations?" Zhao Zhen asked road.
"Yes, the imperial examination is divided into three levels: rural examination, provincial examination and palace examination. The provincial examination is being held in the prefecture. We are in Jimi Prefecture, so it can be held. Normally it is in August and autumn. We are waiting for it. We can hold one here a year ago to select talents."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, I appoint officials here myself. Officials, now that there is a shortage of officials, we can naturally select talents by holding an examination. We also need to hold military examinations. Wenwu Jieyuan, Jingkui can be directly appointed to attract talents."
Xiao Rang said: "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 move is not the right way and has many disadvantages, it is the current situation in the state and will be retained in the future. I will personally examine the candidates and appoint them to important tasks based on their ability. There are no outstanding talents, so don’t worry that I won’t prosper here.”
Xiao Rang nodded and asked: “For senior officials, the imperial court recruits scholars, although there are Jinshi, Mingjing, and boy examinations, which are particularly important. Jinshi Department. I don’t know how to handle it here.”
Zhao Zhen said: “Is it urgent to ask questions now?”
Xiao Rang said thoughtfully: “It’s just right. Together with the martial arts examination, this is the time when the news can be passed on and the students can be well prepared."
Zhao Zhen heard this and said: "That's good, the exam questions still require brothers and scholars, Zhu Wu, and others. Pei Xuan and others discussed together 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 government examination is not a normal autumn, and the court will not recognize most of the talents selected. Why not declare Enke to the outside world and only test policy theory? In the future, this government examination will also be held in the eighth year of the Qing Dynasty. The moon is the same as the imperial court, but it is divided into townships and counties. , the third level of the government. Finally, the best ones will be ranked and given official positions. "
After hearing this, Xiao Rang said: "It's feasible."
"As for the martial arts. Judgment is nothing more than martial arts and strategy. Pursuing the principle of "use strategy to decide whether to stay or not, and use bows and horses to determine superiority", this is very unfriendly to heroes who are only good at martial arts but not good at strategy. This may also cause many warriors with strong martial arts to end up in the green forest. "
"With this, my principle here is two Anyone who has the same qualifications in the four martial arts categories: horse shooting, infantry shooting, carbine shooting, and Qiao Guan can be hired. Zhang Jiaotou, Wang Jin, Lin Chong, and Pang Yi are qualified for the two strategic categories: righteousness and strategy. Brothers Zhu Wu and Wu Yong presided over it. ”
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 much thought, I still have no goal. Zhao Zhen called Zhao Ji and sent the news of a banquet and wine tasting on the day of Laba to all the heroes, so that everyone could arrange their itinerary in advance.
At the same time, Zhao Zhen also sent word to others that they would gather early tomorrow morning and set off for hunting in Yuncheng County.
