Chapter 189 The construction of Nanyang County, the wind rises in Chang'an

After the end point of the second juice lift. It is the turn of the women's imperial examination, and the second female imperial examination is considered to be a small orange double, and the manpower and resources are not very sufficient, so there is only one exam.

Despite this, the poor scholars of the two counties flocked to Wancheng after hearing the news, and even many of the poor scholars of Xiangyang County and Chongzhou also wanted to take the exam. However, Zhang Xiu set up a threshold to avoid overcrowding, and only allowed people from the two counties to take the exam, and the rest of the scholars could only wait for the next time, but Zhang Xiu would still pay back the travel expenses for them. At least after this move came out, many scholars from other places were optimistic about Zhang Xiu and were ready to settle in the two counties.

The test of the liberal arts examination is about strategy, and Zhang embroidered four questions for the participants to choose. The first topic is the land of a county; The second topic is the land of a county; The third topic is the land of a state; The last one is the world. In addition to examining the talents of scholars, these four topics also examine whether they are self-aware. If only the talent who governs a county and chooses the topic of the world, then there is no need to think about it, he will definitely not be admitted as an official. Everything is terrible, and the most terrible thing is that there are people who think they are the best in the world with a little talent, these people are so happy that ruling a place will only bring disaster to the people.

The time for the liberal arts examination is not long, it is completed in one day, but the time for marking the paper is relatively long. Only Cai Mian, Zhong Chai , Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu corrected it, and the test papers were close to 1,000 copies. The review of the five people is not like the college entrance examination before Zhang Xiu's crossing, it takes more than 20 seconds to change an essay, and 60 seconds is a long time. The five of them carefully read each exam paper several times, and at the end each of them wrote a comment to make sure that the person's talent was suitable for that place.

So it took a long time, but fortunately, after the governance of the two counties a while ago, there were not many official duties every day, so everyone had free time to review the examination papers.

Compared with the Confucian scholars of later generations, Han Confucianism is the most down-to-earth, so except for a few people who chose the land of the world and a state in order to win the favor of the public, most of the scholars of the Han family chose the land of a county. There are also people who choose a county, but there are not many, but the five people think that they have good ideas, but they still lack experience, and they need to go to each county to train as officials before they can be promoted.

As for the real Dayou, there is only the person Zhang Xiu expected, Li Yan. He chose the topic of a state, although he was still a little immature, but the five of them all agreed that Li Yan did have the ability to govern a state. When it came time to arrange official positions, it seemed that it was too wasteful for several people to know how to arrange the thug county, and the important places in the two counties were also guarded by Zhang Xiu's henchmen.

After Zhang Xiu thought about it, he said: "Fancheng is a critical place, Pei Yuanshao is afraid that he will not be able to do it, and it is best to transfer Li Yan to guard Fancheng." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately objected: "Li Yan is new, his loyalty is not yet known, and he is originally a small official under Liu Biao, I am afraid"

Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious of employing people." Li Yan was abandoned by Hong Yun, even if Liu Biao recruited him again, he may not be willing to vote, and I treat him well, he will not lose me.

Several people listened to Zhang Xiu's words, and after being silent for a while, they all agreed. In this way, the imperial examination is completed, although the imperial examination is simple, but it also recruited Li Yan such a big thing, and in addition, it supplemented a large number of deficiencies of officials in the two counties, which improved the efficiency a lot. Originally, Zhang Xiu and Zhong Que discussed and formulated some restoration and construction measures, but also gradually began to operate due to the recommendation of manpower.

Winter goes to spring and comes again, because of the buffer of winter, the spring ploughing is properly prepared, although the food is a little tight, but under the treatment of Zhong Chai still withstands. When spring ploughing came, Zhong Chai organized the people to farm. They also lent seeds to some of the people who did not have grain left, and agreed to return a certain amount of grain at the time of the autumn harvest, but the amount returned was very small, almost free of charge.

Zhong Lian dealt with the people of Nanyang County, and Zhang Ji was responsible for recruiting displaced people, because Zhang Xiu mobilized a large army to build a lot of houses in winter, so it was much more convenient to recruit displaced people. As soon as they arrived, the displaced people had houses to live in, and they went to the yamen to rent farm tools and seeds, and the rent was very low, and basically the rented people only had to work hard to cultivate, and they would be able to pay back in the autumn, and they would be able to survive the winter and have enough grain to cultivate the next year.

As a result, Nanyang County's preferential policies have attracted many displaced people from Yuzhou and Chongzhou. Due to Yuan Shu's forced conscription in Yuzhou last year, the people's morale plummeted, and many people in Yuzhou flocked to Nanyang County with their families, and even the Xinye and Yiyang areas under Liu Biao's jurisdiction also received many displaced people.

As for Chongzhou, when Cao Cao received that people flocked to Nanyang County,

The organization is like a hundred out of the tun. Recruit displaced people to carry out military cantonment under military-style management, so as to restrict the people of Chongzhou and the displaced people from flocking to Nanyang County.

After Yuan Shu learned of Cao Cao's approach, he also began to set up checkpoints on the road to Nanyang County to prevent the people and displaced people from fleeing.

Although Chongzhou and Yuzhou restricted the outflow of population, there was an influx of displaced people from the Si Li, who were originally people near Luoyang, and since Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, they have become displaced people. Although Zhang Xiu let many people take refuge in the mountains before leaving, as soon as winter came, they could not find food or clothing, so many of them froze to death and starved to death. Now as soon as spring arrives, these surviving displaced people and ordinary people have decided not to sit idly by, and have gone to Nanyang County to seek refuge in Zhang Xiu, who had helped them.

As for Liu Biao's territory in the south, because the people's lives were still stable, there were not a large number of people fleeing. In the face of a large number of displaced people and the influx of ordinary people, Zhang Xiu not only resettled these people and distributed farm tools and seeds for them to cultivate on the deserted land in Nanyang County, but also asked Zhang Xiu to build additional houses. After Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately took turns to arrange for 10,000 troops to help build houses in various counties of Nanyang County.

The influx of displaced people also caused the food shortage in the two counties again, and Zhong Que had to reduce a series of commercial taxes again to attract merchants, and also let people spread the news that Nanyang County was short of grain and would buy grain at a high price. Just when Zhang Xiu, Zhong Chai and others were busy with food, Liu Biao in the south asked Shaliang to send 40,000 stone of grain, which can be regarded as solving Zhang Xiu's urgent need.

Zhang Xiu naturally accepted Liu Biao's overture, and gave back 2,000 Xiliang horses, of course, selected from the eliminated military horses.

In this way, the alliance between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao is stable, and the suspicion between the two sides is much less. As a direct result, the people and merchants under the rule of both sides would often enter and leave Nanyang County and Xiangyang County, driving the prosperity of the two counties. And the people who were born by the Han River also have an additional way to ferry, but it is beneficial to both games.

On the Jingzhou side, both Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are engaged in large-scale construction and restoration of people's production, and even Yuan Shu in Yuzhou and Cao Cao in Chongzhou have also been stimulated to carry out large-scale construction. These three states, together with Xuzhou and Yizhou, can be regarded as the most peaceful places in the Han Dynasty. After crossing the Yellow River, the war in the north opened again, and Gongsun Zhan attacked Liu Yu in Jixian County, thus capturing Youzhou in one fell swoop. If this continues, I believe that the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan will start here soon.

Hebei was shrouded in the thick fog of war, and the atmosphere here in Chang'an was not normal. Dong Zhuo enjoys himself in which dock every day, living a drunken life and dreaming of death. The whole Chang'an seems to be a song and dance, but the actual undercurrent is constantly surging, which seems to be the calm before the storm.

In addition to the construction of Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu also paid close attention to the situation in Chang'an. According to the intelligence department's shadow investigation, the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu has broken down, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have been secretly visiting, and a big conspiracy has been brewing.

The breakdown of the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu was indeed as Zhang Xiu expected, which originated from Lu Bu's newly married wife, the woman who claimed to be Wang Yunyi's daughter. After being reminded by Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu secretly ordered the people of the shadow to pay close attention to Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Wang Yun and Wang Yun's righteous daughter, and sure enough, a lot of useful information appeared, and then according to Zhang Xiu's memory and Jia Xu's inference, he came to a very surprising inference that Lu Bu's flat wife, Wang Yun's righteous daughter was the singer Zhao Cicada that Dong Zhuo had been unable to find. And the two identities of this person are the key to Wang Ding's strategy to divide Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

What is the real situation, and let's rewind the lens to last year. Let's say that when Zhang Xiu married Cai Yan that day, Wang Yun was secretly threatened and reminded by Zhang Xiu, and immediately returned to his house with Sun Rui and Yang Zan to discuss. After Wang Yun told Zhang Xiu's words to the two of them as they were, Shi Sun Rui said: "Although Zhang Xiu is threatening Lord Situ, listening to what he said, he should also want to use Lord Situ's hand to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but he should not want to damage the reputation of the young lady." "Tear book bar shook the concave Peng coffee's unkind face, Xia Chop, Xia Duo

Yang Zan heard it and said: "And Zan thinks that what Zhang Xiu said is also reasonable, Dong Zhuo is so mediocre, I am afraid that only Sister Bu will use a little means to provoke him and Lu Bu, and the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu will be broken." On the way to Chang'an, Zhang Xiu's two wives were almost humiliated, and Lu Bu angrily came to help, so it can be seen that Lu Bu should be extremely angry at the humiliation of his beloved wife. Lu Bu has this shortcoming, and Lord Situ should start from this point. ”

After Wang Yun listened, he pondered for a while before he said: "The old man has a plan, but there are still shortcomings
