Laizhou, Shandong, a group of tall and big young men were crowded with soldiers. If the soldiers in the northwest town are known for their strength, then the soldiers in Shandong are obviously characterized by their tall physiques. The northwest is the Qian Gua in the Bagua, which is also a place with strong metal energy, so it is obviously normal to have strong strength. Shandong is located in the east of the north, with strong wood energy and wood is the main source of birth, so it naturally looks taller.&1t;/p>

"It's a pity that there are only these places. If there are more places, so many excellent soldiers can be recruited." The commander in charge of recruiting troops couldn't help but sigh with regret when he looked at the tall and tall young man.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, maybe there will be more opportunities in the future!" The person next to him said.&1t;/p>

So many excellent soldiers are so dazzling that the recruiting team can only use the strictest standards. Every one who passes the selection is an extremely excellent soldier. Whether it is physical fitness, temperament, or appearance, they are very qualified. The most elite group has been recruited into the army.&1t;/p>

This time, the recruitment of soldiers is mainly to recruit cavalry. At the same time, a group of infantry is also recruited, mainly to supplement the batch of empty quotas drawn by the garrison mixed brigade.&1t;/p>

The requirements for cavalry's source of troops are obviously higher than the next level.&1t;/p>

Those who were selected were depressed. For these young men, they did not have much culture and only had good physical fitness. If they could not join the army, perhaps they could only live in their hometown in an ordinary life.&1t;/p>

If they want to join the army, they have the dream of making a name for themselves, and they also have the idea of ​​entering the army for training and learning. In the least, they can broaden their horizons and understand the outside world.&1t;/p>

However, the quota for the time being is indeed limited, and the entire Shandong has only been assigned a quota of 6,000 people.&1t;/p>

The entire recruitment process was very smooth. The treatment of the Central Army attracted a large number of young people to sign up for the army. In just over a month, the recruitment was completed.&1t;/p>

A large number of cavalry began to form.&1t;/p>

On the sixth day of the tenth lunar month, in the Forbidden City Baohe Hall. The palace examination was finally released. The juren who passed the imperial examination came to Baohe Hall for the palace examination.&1t;/p>

Originally, the palace examination was about to be held in April, but the group of Donglin parties who presided over the imperial examination were dismissed by Zhu Youxiao. Moreover, Zhu Youxiao did not pay much attention to this imperial examination, so he postponed it until the tenth month of the lunar calendar. It was not a solution to drag it on like this. Zhu Youxiao finally took time in October to hold the palace examination.&1t;/p>

The palace examination mainly focuses on strategy and questions, which is quite in line with Zhu Youxiao's wishes.&1t;/p>

"How many people participated in the palace examination this time?" Zhu You proofread Li Chaoqing beside him and asked. Li Chaoqing replied: "Go back to the emperor, there are 409 people participating in the palace examination this time."&1t;/p>

"There are quite a lot of people!" Zhu Youxiao sighed, and Qian Guoxing said: "The number of people is actually not a lot. At least tens of thousands of people participated in the imperial examination."&1t;/p>

Out of tens of thousands of people, four hundred people were drawn out, and the elimination rate was really high.&1t;/p>

"I think there should be some talents among these people!" Zhu Youxiao felt a little more excited when he thought of this. After all, those who can be pulled out of thousands of troops are generally considered elites. At least in terms of fate, they are elites.&1t;/p>

Elites are indeed elites, but unfortunately they are all Confucian literati. If these people can choose a major like later generations, they will be really a talent that benefits the country and the people. To put it bluntly, these Confucian literati are so rich. Many of them spend their energy on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Some like to study numerology, medical skills and other things.&1t;/p>

More than 400 juren entered the venue. After this palace examination, they became Jinshi. However, there are also first, second, and third.&1t;/p>

Three players in the first place, No. 1, No. 1, Tanhua.&1t;/p>

The purpose of the palace examination is to rank high and low, ranking.&1t;/p>

For this palace examination, Zhu Youxiao also made careful preparations. Because the palace examination questions tend to be Yucai's questions, it is quite in line with Zhu Youxiao's wishes.&1t;/p>

Through the questioning, it is obvious that a group of talents that meet their own wishes can be selected, and then cultivated their abilities. The ideology must be consistent with them first.&1t;/p>

So Zhu Youxiao had several problems.&1t;/p>

One is to ask whether the current decision to reduce agricultural tax and increase commercial tax is correct, and then explain the reasons. This question is the most critical. All the guys who deny the collection of commercial tax will be classified as the third grade. Then slowly get over it from the ninth-rank sesame official! And it is still the current position!&1t;/p>

In fact, first, second, and third are equivalent to an appointment list of the emperor. If there is a shortage of people, you usually choose from first, second.&1t;/p>

The second question is to ask the court's financial management, how to further increase revenue and reduce expenditure. This question mainly selects a group of talents who know how to manage finance. Currently, Zhu Youxiao still lacks talents in this area.&1t;/p>

The third question is to ask the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy and ask "The barbarians have a vast and abundant land, but the barbarians are not good at producing. Defeat the barbarians, expand their territory, and damage their good deeds?" The popular meaning of this sentence is to ask them whether bullying those weak nations will cause any cause and effect.&1t;/p>

The purpose of this question is mainly to select a group of people to join the Supreme Command and the Ministry of War to lay the groundwork for outward expansion.&1t;/p>

The fourth question is to govern officials, asking how to change the current administrative situation of corrupt officials everywhere like the Ming Dynasty. This question is to select talents to govern officials.&1t;/p>

There are four questions in total. How can I answer the first question casually? As long as I have a correct ideology, I can enter the second grade. The second, third, and fourth questions do not require all of them to be answered well. As long as one of them can get the first grade, I can enter the first grade.&1t;/p>

The ranking of the second grade is based on the comprehensive ability. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao will also create a list of them, record the strengths of these people, and then appoint them in the future.&1t;/p>

On the sixth day of the 10th month, early that morning, 409 scholars of different ages came to the platform outside Baohe Hall. After some procedures, they all took their seats to start the exam.&1t;/p>

The problem given by Zhu Youxiao is quite normal and there is no special point. However, the content of the question is the most sensitive to the first question.&1t;/p>

But the first question is also the most deadly, and everyone knows that this is a very sensitive question. But if those scholars from the industrial and commercial class agree with the emperor's current practices, how can they oppose the emperor's policy in the future when they enter the court? So they could only refute it with a lot of misunderstandings and write it on.&1t;/p>

For those scholars who have no interest, the first question is the easiest. Anyone with a little bit of brain knows how to answer.&1t;/p>

You can answer all three questions or only one.&1t;/p>

There was a young scholar who was twenty-one years old. When he saw the third question, his eyes lit up and he immediately lowered his head and wrote quickly. He saw that the three words "Lu Xiangsheng" were written on the name column of the test paper.&1t;/p>

There was also a scholar who was about thirty years old and not very tall. After seeing the second question on financial management, his eyes lit up. He answered the questions very smoothly, and wrote thousands of words. On the test paper, the three words "Jiang Dejing" were written. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>

ps: The second update! Go to grandma's house for a meal first, come back to write in the evening, there should be two updates in the evening!&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
