Chapter 318: Considering

After thinking for a while, Qin Lei asked softly: "The candidate bought the admission ticket. No matter whether he could, he would just take the exam?"

Qu Yanwu shook his head and said, "That won't be possible. Is the country decent?" He said, and said, "Since ancient times, the examination papers for the Jinshi will be posted in the Imperial College for the students to pay attention to and review. Later, I was afraid that the articles of the Third A and the Second A were too good, so I exceeded the first A and second A, so I only posted those who were from the Jinshi or above."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "The guy who came up with this idea is treacherous enough. No one can see the articles in the Three A. Naturally, he cannot question it with confidence."

Qu Yanwu laughed and said, "This is not enough. If you don't say it far away, just say that the boys of the Li family can write moral articles without even reading a basket of big words? Not to mention the strategy of thousands of words. But what happened? They were all in one place." As he said, he said confidently, "This year's top scholar was born in the fourth son of the Li family and the third son of the Wen family."

Qin Lei frowned slightly and said, "Take a cheat?"

Qu Yanwu nodded and said, "There are still some inks in the cheat sheet. Many people simply bring the papers in and slept for three days first. When it is almost over, they will collect the blank papers full of saliva and change them directly to the ones with words written on them. Even if the exam is over."

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard for them. I guess it's hard to sleep in the tribute room for three days." As he said, he pressed the table and asked in a deep voice: "Is this the case for both first and second a class?"

Qu Yanwu reluctantly smiled and said, "Since this is possible, who will study hard?"

Qin Lei frowned and said, "How are the quotas allocated?"

Qu Yanwu whispered: "It's not clear yet. Usually, I'll take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go around and camp. It's basically confirmed by the end of the first month. However... in previous years, the great clans would get half of the quota, and there were 30% of the tyrants in the north, and the remaining 20% ​​were given to the south and other places in previous years. But this year, I'm afraid there's no hope for the south."

Qin Lei nodded, remained silent for a moment, and said softly: "Don't argue with Wen Yantao, but you have to agree with Wen Yanbo. He will be the first day of the first day of the lunar month and you will be the fifteenth day of the lunar month. After Wen Yantao takes office, he will give you the Minister of Personnel."

Qu Yanwu thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid they will do it together on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

Qin Lei curled his lips and said, "Then let it go. After the New Year alone, I will return to Beijing. If I dare to mess with me, I will not be able to do it even on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

Qu Yanwu responded softly, lowered his head and picked up the wine cup, tilted his neck and drank it, rubbed his mouth and said, "I wish I could say bluntly that it would be best for the prince to sit in Kyoto again next year."

Qin Lei looked at him with a smile and said softly: "Why? Isn't this place very good?"

Qu Yanwu shook his head and said, "It's not possible here. Although the prince has the fastest communication means in the world, he will know what happened in Beijing at most half a day. But you still have to experience some things yourself. If you are far away, you may not be so sensitive."

Qin Lei nodded and said, "Mr. Kuo said this very much. When he returned to Beijing last time, I felt something, but I was so in a hurry here, so I don't feel relieved if I don't stare at it." As he said, he picked up a chopstick and served cold daylily, chewed it and said, "Let's run more if you are suffering from it next year. There will be a big problem in Zhaowu in the 18th year."

Qu Yanwu smiled and said, "The prince is in his hands, and the dictatorship of the holy heart will definitely lead us to turn bad luck and make rapid progress."

After laughing for a while, Qin Lei said loudly: "Mr. Qu lives here for a few days first. In a few days, our palace will hold an annual meeting. You can also enjoy it. Let's go back to Beijing together after you finish."

Qu Yanwu and Qin Lei held a cup and smiled and said, "It's better to obey your orders than respect, but what is this annual meeting?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Isn't this the twelfth lunar month? All our friends from all over the world are going back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. Take this opportunity to gather together, commend and reward, so that everyone can have a happy New Year."

Qu Yanwu said happily: "But it is a festive event. Then my subordinates must participate, enjoy the joy, get rid of bad luck, and have a good start to the next year."

Twenty-two was coming in a blink of an eye. That night, Qin Lei was having a drink with Qu Yanwu. Shi Yong came over with a thick booklet and saluted, saying respectfully: "The results are summarized." The seven-day assessment period was scheduled, and with the joint efforts of the officers and soldiers who were eager to return, they went day and night, and it ended in just five days.

Qin Lei put down the chicken claws in his hand, wiped his hands hard with the rag on the table, then took the book, opened it and said in a deep voice: "Why are there no outstanding soldiers?"

Shi Yong glanced at Qu Yanwu and whispered: "The highest score on weekdays is only 27 points, which means that all subjects are average nine points. Under strict evaluation, it is difficult."

Qin Lei reached out to bounce the booklet and smiled at Qu Yanwu, "Is Gu's teaching good looking?"

Qu Yanwu laughed and said, "The Minister of War twenty years later."

Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "Shi Yong is very good, but there is one thing that is not good. He doesn't know how to hold power."

After hearing this, Shi Yong said in a confused manner: "Hold power?"

Qin Lei shook his head, pointed to the booklet, and whispered: "All military members know that if the Lone King wants to set up a few models, then there must be outstanding soldiers. You can't not know, right?" Shi Yong nodded and said: "Fortitude comes from the best. The prince can be grace, but his subordinates can only do their best."

Qin Lei smiled gently and said, "Your idea is very good, but it's just a few sergeants. Just decide for yourself if you have a bigger mung bean official. Just take it over and let Gu check and sign a letter, and you won't say anything about you. In this way, you have not delayed any 'gratitude from the best', and you have held the right in your hand."

Seeing that Shi Yong was still confused, Qu Yanwu chuckled and said, "Silly boy, the prince is teaching you how to be an official."

Shi Yong disagreed and said, "What's the best thing to take power like Wen Yanbo? Isn't it better to ask the prince to make arbitrary decision?"

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "My Lord Shi, we are just this little person now. Of course, there is no problem with asking for instructions in all matters, but what about the future? Are we powerful? Can we still do this?" As he said that, he reached out and pointed Qu Yanwu, and said in a deep voice: "Du Qu is right. If you want to be a good official, you have to hold the power in your hands. If you can decide too few things, even if you become the Secretary of State, no one will pay attention to it."

Seeing that Shi Yong seemed to understand but not understand, Qin Lei added: "Of course, holding power is not taking power. Holding power is holding power in your possession, and taking power..." As he said that, Qin Lei opened his arms and hugged the cup and plate on the table, and smiled and said: "It's yours, not yours, competent, and incompetent must be held in his arms. Of course, it's not possible, it's going to be a mess."

Shi Yong then realized: "When I go back, I will review the teaching manual and capture all the powers that belong to me."

Qin Lei scratched his head and said, "You will be very tired, and you must delegate power moderately..."

Shi Yong thought to himself: 'Boss, you won't play with me, are you?' So he smiled helplessly: "Whether to hold or release."

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "The important ones are not important. You must ask what is important?" Shi Yong smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know why the prince said that I am careful. It is really not good, but if I don't understand it, I will never feel at ease."

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled, "You think that if you leave one thing to someone else's decision, it will affect your authority, that is important. Go back and experience it slowly." After saying that, he turned his attention back to the booklet, clicked on the top five and said, "Put these five commissions to be excellent, and then add the ones to the next." Shi Yong nodded and obeyed.

Qin Lei turned the page down again and said, "There are more than two hundred excellent ones, one thousand good ones, and more than six thousand passes," he said with a smile, "There are a lot of people who fail. You can't let generals like Huangfu Wenyu and other generals bring one thousand to play with each of them."

Shi Yong understood and said, "Then change it to one thousand unqualified, let's spare those two thousand boys."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Since that's the case, why not send Buddhist paths to the West and release 600 animals. Four hundred unqualified ones are enough."

Shi Yong responded in a deep voice, his mouth twitched a few times, and finally he held back when he reached his mouth.

Qin Lei said in a gentle voice: "Tell me, you Shi Yong still have the right to express your objections."

Thankfully smiled, Shi Yong said softly: "In the commander-in-chief's consultation meeting, the prince clearly proposed to take the elite military route and the professional military route to win with strong quality. His subordinates are worried that relaxing standards will undermine your established policy."

Qin Lei nodded and said seriously: "Very good, you can always forget the general direction and make the lonely feel very pleased. But in the period of the team's inception, overall formation is the most important thing. You cannot ask too much for a single soldier." His tone gradually calmed down: "After entering a regular army, it does not mean entering a safe. What we need to maintain is a dynamic balance and eliminate unqualified replacements at any time."

Shi Yong then said with sincerity: "I understand, this time, four hundred failed."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Yes, you ask the people below to do things impartially, but you must have a clear idea in your heart. It is strict and cannot be twisted in the general direction." Shi Yong responded softly and left the room.

When he walked away, Qin Lei whispered: "Shi Yong and others were loyal and brave, and they were attentive in their work. They were really the most worthy of honor. But they were too honest and had limited vision. It was afraid that it would be difficult to develop to the position you mentioned." This is Qin Lei's place of distress for a long time. Even when he was on Xiangyang Lake, he wanted to give up his expectations for them, but he quickly denied this idea - he must have his own iron team, and Shi Yong and others are the best choices. No matter how difficult it is, he must bring them up.

Qu Yanwu thought for a while and said softly: "Shi Yong and Shi Meng have all contacted them. The problem is: I have read less books and have less knowledge. If I want to have a better future, I can only read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."

Fearing that Qin Lei would not believe it, Qu Yanwu used himself as an example and slowly recalled: "I remember the second year after entering the Hanlin Academy, my subordinates were expelled to Longyou as the magistrate of the Ministry of Personnel for committing crimes at that time. They stayed there for five years. Those days were like purgatory, but so they also had Qu Yanwu today."

Speaking of this, Qu Yanwu shook his head again and said, "Our official system of Daqin is a bastard. A county magistrate and a dozen grass-roots team have to manage the security lawsuits on the ground within a radius of nearly a hundred miles, planting and harvesting in spring, collecting taxes, and so on. What's even more outrageous is that no one has ever taught me what to do if a county magistrate should do." As he said, he said with great complacent words: "What's the result? I stumbled for several months, but my subordinates have figured out everything."

Qin Lei nodded in understanding and smiled: "Du Qu understands his meaning. If you want them to grow, you have to give them a chance to allow them to make mistakes." Qu Yanwu nodded and smiled: "The prince is wise."

As the saying goes, "Twenty-three, celebrate the New Year, worship the Kitchen God and write Spring Festival couplets." This New Year is like the threshold of the Spring Festival. As soon as this day comes, people will clearly smell the New Year atmosphere. If they are still outside, they will become impatient and wish they can fly to their homes, sweep the house, steam dumplings, cut off meat, rub tin utensils, ferment sloppy, wash their feet, and put on Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, the soldiers packed their backpacks. After the prince finished speaking, they would officially take a holiday and would not regroup until the 17th day of the first lunar month. After these twenty days of vacation, everyone was happy, and no one even thought about the question of what kind of transportation to take to go back.

When the gathering whistle sounded, the soldiers came out of the house one after another, and soon they lined up neatly on the field of the university. However, today's military discipline was somewhat problematic, and the soldiers who were excited were either whispering to each other or looking around.

Qin Xu and Qin Qu are two exceptions. One of them is in a bad mood and the other has always been taciturn. Although they both stood there blankly, what they thought was completely different. Qin Xu estimated his grades and felt that they were only 87 or 80 points. Not to mention the best soldiers, even the outstanding soldiers were not worth it. Of course, they were in a bad mood.

As for Qin Qi, he felt that he should be able to pass the qualification, so he began to think about the snacks in Kyoto, and planned what to eat first and then what to eat when he went back...

When he thought of the "Crystal Baked Mai" on Iron Lion Street, he heard a drum sound and immediately stood up habitually.

"The prince is here!" the star official shouted briefly and powerfully.

With a "slam", ten thousand soldiers stood at attention with a conditioned reflex, and saw the prince in military uniform strode up to the platform. After more than two months of education and indoctrination, the soldiers completely ignored the fact that they were actually cheated by Qin Lei, but instead fanatically believed in the hope of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Lei wore it very formally today. His years of career made him almost paranoid and love the beauty of form. His shiny cowhide boots made him clang and his military uniform was neat and clean, without any wrinkles.

He stood firm in the field and slowly looked around the soldiers in the field. The needles fell on the school ground, which was already a little buzzing. "My soldiers, what do you want to do the most now?" Qin Lei asked without using his usual passionate speech, but smiled like an elder. Although most of the people in the field were much older than him, they felt very natural and friendly, both when they were speaking and listening.

Hearing the prince's relaxed tone, the soldiers who were a little nervous just now also relaxed and shouted in unison: "Go home!"

Qin Lei laughed and said, "If you talk about it for an hour alone, you will definitely curse in your heart: 'What a fool who is incompetent. Isn't it right?"

Although no one dared to answer, a burst of laughter had already represented the soldiers' attitude.

After slapped his hands, Qin Lei laughed loudly and said, "So today I will not ruin the scenery, and I will not forgive you for your pleasure of returning home. I will say three words." The scene was silent, and everyone said to himself: "Tell me quickly, let's go home after you finish speaking."

"First, after more than two months of training, you have proved that you are the best! The Lone King is proud of you!" Thunderous applause sounded, and the soldiers thanked the prince and even applauded themselves.

"Second, in order to ensure that everyone has a good New Year and will be faced after returning, the royal palace has purchased a large amount of New Year goods for everyone, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, grain and oil. After you return to Beijing, you can go to Zongzheng Mansion to collect it with your military card."

The soldiers, especially those who were married, were worried that they would look ugly when they went home empty-handed. Unexpectedly, the prince was so generous and considerate. He even thought about this and couldn't help but cheer in unison, but it was more sincere than the applause just now.

After they finished cheering, Qin Lei's face remained unchanged and continued to smile: "The third one is not so likable. Everyone weighs their weight before leaving. After returning next year, those who have gained more than five kilograms will be severely punished." No one thinks that the prince is just saying it. He has used the lives and dignity of many people to prove one sentence: 'Observe or die.'
