Pang Shanmin and four other people took the initiative to vote, which made Liu Cong very happy and very emotional.
Thinking back to the beginning, when he was alone, Deng Ai was just a refugee child. He personally recruited him, and even Deng's mother persuaded him, but Deng Ai did not directly agree.
Ma Liang and Huo Jun of Yicheng, seeing that Liu Cong was the former shepherd of Jingzhou, only borrowed a thousand soldiers and horses and never thought of defecting.
When I met Gan Ning on the road, I could only make an agreement, and I didn¡¯t even dare to say solicitation directly.
Now it¡¯s better, many great talents have come to my door. Pang Tong, Liu Ba, Liao Li, and these four, in troubled times, strength is the most important!
Without strength, what¡¯s the use of being a Han clan clan member! Liu Bei has been working hard for more than ten years, but he still doesn't have those few people around him.
"Pang Shanmin, I will make you the Grand Administrator of Zhangling and take office immediately!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Shi Tao, I will make you the Grand Administrator of Shangyong!"
"My lord, this Shangyong" Shi Tao was a little puzzled, Shangyong is not a county in Jingzhou!
"Guangyuan, you don't know yet, this Shangyong is the lord's first territory!" Ma Liang said with a smile.
"What, my lord has already captured Shangyong?" Shi Tao and the other four were all surprised.
¡°Not only has it been won long ago, but the prosperity of Shangyong has surpassed that of Xiangyang!¡± Pang Tong added.
When he decided to turn to Liu Cong, he learned about Shangyong's situation and saw clearly Liu Cong's far-reaching vision and grand layout.
"I think Guangyuan must understand the importance of Shangyong. Your task is very heavy!"
¡°Don¡¯t worry, lord, I will not let you down!¡± Shi Tao¡¯s tone was firm.
"I confer Cui Zhouping as the governor of Jing, and Meng Jian as the governor!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Jingzhou is short of officials! Therefore, the four of them were directly entrusted with important tasks, which was impossible for other princes. Like them, they could only start as county magistrates, or even county magistrates.
"My lord, now there are prefects in each county, and the prefectural pastoral office has the peace and authority of the state. With Wang Zhongxuan, there is no problem in handling daily affairs. However, the officials such as the chief historian, county magistrate, school captain, secretary, etc. of each county, As well as the county magistrates, county magistrates, captains, etc. in each county are still in short supply!" Ma Liang has been very busy recruiting talents for Liu Cong recently.
"That's the question" Liu Cong thought for a moment. In the Han Dynasty, promotion of filial piety and integrity was popular, but now in troubled times, it is a good time to break the old and establish a new one. "Let's do this! We will select through examinations and only those who are worthy will be promoted!"
"The examination selection is based on merit?" Ma Liang frowned when he heard this, "The imperial court has always promoted filial piety and integrity. If this is the case, the families may"
"We are a meritocracy. Children from aristocratic families have such good conditions. How can their talents and learning be inferior to those from poor families?" Liu Cong smiled, "Just like the mountain people, Ji Chang, you, Shi Yuan, etc., Will he lose to others in the exam? And among the children from poor families, if they are talented and learned, why not be an official? "
"My lord's words are reasonable. I think this matter is feasible. After all, there are many talented and learned people among the children of aristocratic families, so the aristocratic family will not have any objections." Pang Tong thought about the benefits, "And it has established a rule for future officials. , the writing style will flourish again.¡±
"In addition to the literary test, there is also a martial arts test to select school captains and captains. Excellent candidates can also enter the army and directly serve as commanders of thousands, army commanders and other positions."
"My lord is wise!"
Ma Liang and Pang Tong saw that the selection of Liu Cong for the examination had been decided, so they no longer objected.
"Without further delay, the state is in a state of justice. You two will immediately issue an announcement in Jingzhou. One month later, the literary and martial arts examinations will be held in Xiangyang. Everyone in the Han Dynasty, regardless of their sect, can participate!"
"No!"
"Ji Chang and Shi Yuan will be in charge of the literary test, and Huang Zhong will be in charge of the martial arts test!"
"No!"
With Cui Zhouping and Meng Jian, Liu Cong no longer had to worry about trivial matters in the Prefecture, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Everything in Jingzhou is developing at a rapid pace, especially business. After Liu Cong's wedding, the merchants who crowded here were all busy. The brewing of Wanli Xiangjiu and the smelting of ironware were also running normally in Xiangyang, but they were not made public. The specific responsibility was taken by Tianwang Camp, which was even larger than Shangyong. big.
Iron farm tools were very popular as soon as they came out and were quickly shipped to all states in Han Dynasty. Wanli Xiangjiu was shipped out of Xiangyang one by one. In addition to being sent to various states, some of it went north to the outside of the Great Wall.
There is no foreigner who doesn¡¯t like wine, and Liu Cong¡¯s request is thisWine can only be exchanged for war horses.
In the south, without cavalry, you can still fight for hegemony. But in the future, if we want to march north into the Central Plains or resist foreign invasion, we must have cavalry.
The granaries in Jingzhou are full, and the money in the treasury is also piled up. If other princes knew about this, they would all die of envy.
In a good mood, Liu Cong took Cai Yu and Fan around Xiangyang City. Liu Cong seemed to want to learn how to spend money. He would buy any good things he saw for the two ladies. The maids could no longer get them, so they had to ask the guards to help.
After walking around the city that day, I just returned to the mansion when a soldier hurried over.
"Report to the lord, something happened in the military camp outside the city!"
"What, something happened in the military camp outside the city?" Liu Cong was surprised, "What happened?"
"Ma Chao from Xiliang went to the military camp to compete with General Huang Zhong!"
"Oh" Liu Cong breathed a sigh of relief. It is normal for generals to be competitive and compete in martial arts. "Prepare your horses and go to the military camp outside the city!"
"No!"
Liu Cong picked a good horse from among the horses sent from Xiliang. It was all white, but had some black manes on its back, evenly distributed, like small ink dots, very beautiful. Liu Cong named it Mo Xue.
Liu Hu led three hundred guards, guarding Liu Cong in the middle, left Xiangyang City and went straight to Huang Zhong's camp.
Arriving outside the camp, the soldiers guarding the camp recognized Liu Cong and hurriedly welcomed him in, notifying Huang Zhong at the same time.
Soon, Huang Zhong came over in a hurry.
"See you, my lord!" Huang Zhong knelt down and saluted, "The general didn't know that my lord was coming, so he missed the opportunity to meet him from afar"
"When the Han Dynasty ascends to the throne, these common etiquettes in the military camp will be dispensed with."
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Lord Zhou Mu, General Ma is usually very aggressive and aggressive" At this time, Jiang Juan and Cheng Gongying also came, and Jiang Juan hurriedly explained.
"Zhong Yi, don't mind. How can a general not have the desire to win? Han Sheng is the most brave general in Jingzhou, and Meng Qi is a warrior in Xiliang. Why not let the two of them compete with each other!" Liu Cong said with a smile, "Let's go to the school grounds!"
"No!" Huang Zhong was obviously relieved.
It turns out that at the banquet on the wedding day, Liu Cong said that Huang Zhong was the most brave general in Jingzhou. He was originally just to praise Huang Zhong, but unexpectedly, this aroused Ma Chao's fighting spirit and he must compete with Huang Zhong.
Ma Chao challenged, how could Huang Zhong not respond? But I didn¡¯t expect the lord to come. Now that Huang Zhong was relieved when he heard that his master would not stop him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
