In the second half of April, Shao Shude has been in Linshuo Palace to cultivate one's character and handle government affairs.

There is no controversy over the candidate who spends the night with him now, only Queen Zhe. The queen also suppressed her temper and did not serve Shao Shude every night, which seemed very restrained.

On April 23, one month after the scientific examination, Shao Shude invited a banquet for a new Jinshi in Xirilou.

Although the quota he prepared was 100, he actually only admitted 71 people. The new dynasty did not want it, so Feng Guanqing was very persistent about this.

However, all the Jinshi students who passed the exam were very happy. They didn’t have to be as frustrated as before, and waited for several years.

There are a bunch of empty spaces in Yun, Wei, Gui, Yi, Ru, Ying and other states. As long as you are willing to go to these traditionally cognitive bitter and cold places, you don’t have to wait, and you can become an official now.

The new Jinshi, who had experienced the hardships of troubled times in the Xin Dynasty, were still very pragmatic. Except for a few lucky people who could stay in the Hanlin Academy, secretary and palace province in the center, most of them were willing to work in the frontier.

Shao Shude invited them to eat whale meat.

To be honest, this meat is actually not very delicious. But it is rare. Everyone still eats it with relish, and some even write poems on the spot to express their feelings.

By the way, Zhang, a villager who first discovered the stranded whale, was awarded 500 pieces of money, 500 pieces of silk, and 500 pieces of cloth, and was awarded a ninth rank honorary official. The reward was so generous that it was simply outrageous.

At this time, someone will think that finding a stranded whale on the coast can get such a generous reward, what if I hunt one from the sea?

Shao Sheng did not publicly respond to this matter for various reasons. However, the secret sound of wind was released, and the hunting at sea was also effective.

The seeds are sown, and whether they can germinate depends on luck.

The new Jinshi also received rewards such as whale oil candles and rain boots, which were immediately rare and spread to both China and abroad.

You can't underestimate the publicity ability of the Jinshi "meat trumpet". Things are still fermenting. If you do it a few more times, the quality of whale products will reach a new level.

Some wealthy and wealthy businessmen who are rich but have no status do not want to use whale products and show off among their business partners. With their status, they probably won’t get royal rewards, but can they catch one by themselves?

As long as you give enough money, there are still people who don’t believe in evil and dare to go out to hunt in the sea.

Shao Shude, who was kind-hearted and unintentional, once again used his ability to carry goods to try to cleverly influence the world.

After seeing off the Jinshi, he personally supervised the construction of the Imperial College of Beidu.

Three capitals and three Imperial Colleges have continuously expanded the number of students in the classics, medicine, mathematics, agriculture, engineering, etc.

If county schools and state schools are soil, then the three Imperial Colleges are saplings rooted in this fertile soil and are growing slowly.

Every time a mathematics student graduates, the markets and bank settlement systems in major cities will have more power, and the money shortage among the people will be slowed down by one point.

Every time a farmer graduates, more people will promote and guide the new species cultivated by Sinong Temple, which is crucial for agricultural countries.

Even students can educate the four barbarians and even influence social customs.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, all counties and prefectures had positions such as teaching in classics and doctoral students. After the difficulties, most of them were stopped or the number of students was greatly reduced.

The evolution of social atmosphere and the absence of hairy awls are also a major factor. Therefore, Shao Shude started investing more than 20 years ago, and now it has become quite large. In fact, it cannot cost much money, and such expenses in a county cannot support ten warriors.

*******

On the seventh day of the fifth month, Shao Shude summoned Zhao Feng, a new Jinshi in Jintai Hall.

Zhao Feng is from Youzhou. She is twenty years old this year. She participated in the first famous and high school Jinshi in her hometown. She happened to be a Jinshi in Zhigu County. She died of illness and was actually a real flaw.

The new Jinshi was appointed as the county magistrate of Jixian County, which was the most righteous way to get promoted since the former Tang Dynasty, and the competition was very fierce. Zhao Feng was lucky to get this position - he was attracted by Shao Sheng's daughter.

Queen Zhe Fangai said that Buddha Fang is twenty years old this year and is already an old girl, so she can’t wait any longer.

Shao Shude thought about it and it was indeed true. Anyway, he had many children, and the fourth daughter Shao Ze was eighteen this year, the fifth daughter Shao Si was seventeen years old, and the sixth daughter Shao Fu was sixteen years old. Even if he married the Li family in the future, there would be many partners, so there were no need to be limited to any one. So he asked the third daughter Buddha teeth to secretly look at the new Jinshi behind the curtain, and he ended up looking at Zhao Feng.

The queen immediately sent someone to investigate whether Zhao Feng was married and replied, "No." After asking again, she found out that she was from Lu Long and Zhao's family, but the strange thing is that Zhao Siwen didn't know this tribe, so she seemed to be a marginal figure in the Zhao family.

The queen sent someone to inquire about Zhao Feng's opinion - the royal family is so direct.

Zhao Feng had no objection, and was even a little happy. This was done. The next step was to choose an auspicious day and hold a wedding.

"Do you know what Zhigu County values?" The name is asked, but in fact, he took the opportunity to observe his son-in-law. Shao Shude looked very carefully and found that Zhao Feng's appearance was quite upright, and his expression seemed to be a traitor - he could only look at it from his expression. After all, he could not read the mind skills.

"Your Majesty—" Zhao Feng was about to speak but was interrupted.

"You are my closest person, just call the official family." Shao Shude said.

"The official asked, and I said it." Zhao Feng said confidently: "Zhigu County has been newly established, and there are many reed mud in the county. In summer, heavy rainstorms are disasters and floods occur frequently. Although the people have been moved to rectify for years, their foundations are shallow and their livelihoods are still difficult. The official asked, and the officials have only one answer, focusing on water conservancy."

Shao Shude pondered for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "You didn't cater to my wishes. You talked about special shipping, which shows your pragmatism."

Actually, this is nonsense. If Zhao Feng said that it was necessary to focus on the development of shipping, Shao Shude would also praise it.

In fact, as long as his answer is not too outrageous, it is acceptable. This is the treatment that only his own people can receive. Shao Shude generally does not tell others.

"Zhigu is a county in Ji. There is one magistrate, one chief clerk, and two magistrate." Shao Shude said: "The county magistrate personally handles common affairs, divides the cadres, cuts off the chasing, and leads the courses. He is the most important person under the county magistrate. Those who can be county magistrates and chief clerks may not be good county magistrates. If the county magistrate is good, they will definitely be good county magistrates. There are more than 2,000 households and more than 10,000 people in Nigu County. Do it well and do it according to your ideas. If you have any contribution, I will see it."

"I obey the order." Zhao Feng replied.

At this moment, he was full of energy. Young people at the age of twentieth always had an impulse to do careers, believing that based on their own talents, they would definitely be able to convince others, and they would rise step by step and become famous all over the world.

Of course, he will know in the future that he can be promoted is not because he is excellent, but because he is a saint's son-in-law.

"Don't rush to be there for a while. The Zhigu Wei will keep it for you. It's not too late to go after getting married." Shao Shude smiled.

"Abide by the order." Zhao Feng responded calmly.

*******

In May, the news that Shao Shude was most looking forward to was his brother's illness.

However, I don’t know if it was Jinyang’s tight seal or what happened, but the exact news has not been conveyed back so far, which made him slightly disappointed.

He took the time to summon Liu Xun.

This is an old acquaintance. When Shao Sheng planned to make the foundation of the Wang family in the river, Liu Xun was the opponent.

In the Battle of Fen River, he cut off the rear for Wang Ke and fought hard, and finally led more than a thousand Jin soldiers to surrender.

After being released, Li Keyong did not blame him and still trusted him very much, but it took him a while to climb back - serving as the direct commander of the silver spear in front of the horse.

This time, Li Cunxu cooperated with the attack on Xingzhou and finally failed. In despair, he surrendered with more than 3,000 soldiers.

"General Liu is also an old acquaintance. Can you tell me why he surrendered?" Shao Shude asked after giving Liu Xun a seat.

"I have been defeated repeatedly and the future is bleak, so I surrendered." Liu Xun said: "And, Daxia is not a grudge in Hedong. The two families are even family friends. It would be meaningless to fight again. It would only hurt people's lives."

Shao Shude was very happy to hear this, that's right!

Why did Liang Jin fight to the death in history?

Zhu Quanzhong did a big mistake, that is, the Shangyuan Post Incident, killing Li Keyong's hundreds of yuan from his side. You know, these are all the backbone of the early Jin army, the seeds of officers, relatives and friends all over the seven prefectures. This is an absolute mortal hatred. Whether the Tang court participated in this matter, whether Zhu Quanzhong took the blame for the court, but he did it directly, so there was nothing he could do.

In addition, Zhu Quanzhong attacked the three towns of Yun, Yan and Qi, and it was probably because the opponent was too stubborn and resisted to the end. He was a little angry and killed the surrender, which led to the Jin army being concerned about surrender.

To put it bluntly, although Li Keyong's political ability is poor, he has a strong ability to unite his subordinates and can win people's hearts. In extreme difficulties, the Hedong Group did not disperse, and very few surrendered, laying the foundation for his son's later Jedi turnaround.

But Hedong Group faces Daxia, which is another style...

There is no hatred between the two sides, and the relationship between the top leaders is pretty good - at least the surface relationship is good.

Shao Shude has always treated the surrendered people in Hedong well, giving them to officials, and giving them rewards. If you arrest them on the battlefield, those who are unwilling to surrender, you will be let go home, those who are willing to surrender will be appointed directly, and your attitude is already very good.

Before, Li Siben's family was even willing to pay for it. Although Li Keyong refused, he did not hurt his adopted son's family, which achieved his goal.

No matter from any aspect, the Hedong general's lead is a very good choice.

If Li Keyong hadn't died yet, Hedong Group had already asked Shao Sheng to give him "peaceful evolution" and disintegrate.

As a chronic disease in the Five Dynasties, Hedong Town is actually not that dangerous in Shao Shude's eyes.

"How is King Jin's health?" Shao Shude asked suddenly.

"I don't know if the crime is always leading the troops outside." Liu Xun replied.

"I believe in you." Shao Shude nodded and said, "General Liu surrendered to Shun in front of the formation, and he was not guilty of his contributions. Now he can lead his 3,600 soldiers to join the Pinglu Army and serve as the Du Yuhou. Pinglu Army is in Xuzhou, and Liu Qing will take up his post for a little while."

"I thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness." Liu Xun fell to the ground and said with gratitude.

Although he had expected that he would not be punished, and even officials would be appointed. But when the saint said it himself, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
