Zhao Ming has always been worried that Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Zhongyu will fight, and the Zhao family will be consumed by it, so he has been worried. Not only did he hide Zhao Hanzhang's movements from Zhao Zhongyu, but he also would not tell Zhao Hanzhang some things in the clan.
As soon as Zhao Hanzhang's recruitment order came out, he knew that Zhao Zhongyu couldn't hide it.
He had been waiting for Zhao Zhongyu's reaction.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Zhongyu's response was not to the clan, but to Zhao Hanzhang directly.
Zhao Ming read the letter and frowned, thinking, "Is the situation so critical?"
The clan leaders are considering moving south.
It was a matter of clan, so Zhao Ming had to go to Zhao Hanzhang, "What do you think?"
Zhao Hanzhang knew history. If the city of Luoyang was destroyed, the aristocratic families in the north would indeed move south to avoid disaster and survive.
But the price that needs to be paid is not small, even for nobles from aristocratic families, let alone ordinary people.
After the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Han people north of the Yangtze River were almost wiped out. The Xiongnu, Jiehu, Xianbei, Qiang and Di people also suffered heavy casualties. Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were deep, and he clenched his fists, "Escape to the south of the Yangtze River and
Not the best idea."
Zhao Ming also nodded, "Migration, especially when there are more than a thousand people in our clan, plus servants, tenant farmers and tribes, there are nearly ten thousand people. It is too difficult and dangerous for so many people to move."
"And it's hard to leave your hometown," Zhao Ming sighed: "Not everyone is willing to leave their hometown."
When the time comes, the sects will be divided into branches. Those who remain will be weak and may be more difficult to survive.
Zhao Ming fixed his eyes on Zhao Hanzhang and said solemnly: "So, Hanzhang, you have to protect Runan. Preserving Runan means preserving the Zhao family."
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were also filled with blazing ambition, which he clearly revealed in front of Zhao Ming for the first time, "Runan's strength is still too small. If we can occupy one state, even if the Xiongnu army goes south, we will have room to maneuver.
"
Zhao Ming knew that what she said was right, but he still couldn't help but have the doubts that he had always had in his heart. But this time, he did not warn her, but said: "You have to figure it out slowly."
Zhao Hanzhang's lips curled up and he agreed.
She knew that Zhao Ming would give in as long as it was for the sake of the Zhao clan.
With Zhao Ming's support, Zhao Hanzhang began to work freely. Not only did he set up a recruitment residence next to the county government to specifically interview talents who came to join him, he also set up a recruitment point on the official road in and out of Xiping County.
Ji Yuan watched, and then he asked Zhao Ming to join forces with people he knew and began to purchase large quantities of grain.
In the past, Zhao Ming did not participate in this kind of thing, but this time he did not refuse. Not only did he take the initiative and asked many people in the clan to sell grain to Zhao Hanzhang at a low price, he also took the initiative to contact the grain merchants and wealthy people he knew and purchased a lot of grain for Zhao Hanzhang.
Less food.
Of course, it cannot be said that they need food to support their troops, but they have found an excuse.
The reason was also readily available, they said it was to raise military rations and grain taxes for Governor He.
He Jishi, who had already sent troops to fight against the Xiongnu and was already caught in the melee, did not know that someone behind the scenes was using his name to do evil things.
King Donghai commanded the army to resist desperately, Gou Xi attacked the Huns from behind, and the governor He and other reinforcements supported him. They had already reached the walls of Luoyang, and the Huns had to retreat when they saw that they were about to break the city...
So far, things are looking very good.
But everyone felt uneasy, because the Xiongnu were also increasing their troops, and they were very ferocious. They had the attitude of tearing off a piece of their flesh even if they had to withdraw their troops.
Sure enough, they withdrew from Luoyang and turned around to attack Yuzhou.
At this time, Zhao Hanzhang didn't know anything. Today was the fifteenth day, which was the day of her first talent recruitment examination.
Because the test papers were useless after being used once and there were not many people taking reference, Zhao Hanzhang decided to copy the questions on the spot.
Fu Tinghan gave her the prepared questions just last night. She decided after seeing that it was OK, and she and Ji Yuan also asked two questions respectively.
Runan County's first talent recruitment examination was so crude and simple.
As soon as the time came, Zhao Hanzhang entered the Recruitment Residence with the topic in mind.
The candidates are already waiting.
There were thirty-six people taking the exam this time, eight of whom were students in her school. Except for the two teenagers who had only learned to read for a year and a half, the other six were commanders and captains of the army. They
The reason why I came here for reference is because Zhao Hanzhang said that as long as those who went to the school to learn literacy in the military could solve three questions, Zhao Hanzhang would not only give them a credit, but also allow them not to go to the school again.
Six people immediately signed up to take the exam.
As for the others, they are talented people... and beauties who came from all over for reference.
Yes, there were two girls among the people who made reference this time. Although there were only two, Zhao Hanzhang was very happy and paid more attention to them.
One of them is her acquaintance and relative, Zhao Yunxin from the Zhao family.
The other one she also found was her cousin Sun Linghui. The two little girls were sitting at the front. When they saw Zhao Hanzhang coming out, they stood up together with the other candidates and saluted her respectfully.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, raised his hand and said: "Excuse me. Before coming, you should have read the announcement from the county government office and understood the rules of the examination, right?"
Everyone responded.
"Although you understand, I still have to say it again. The rules of my examination room are very simple. First, you are not allowed to cheat. Second, you are not allowed to disturb other candidates' answers. Third, you must submit the papers on time." Zhao Hanzhang looked at them with a smile and asked.
: "Can you all do it?"
Everyone agreed in unison, saying it was okay.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction and then took out the test paper, "Now I will give you the questions. There will only be two questions this morning."
"The first is to make policy decisions, to work on your position, and to plan for the government; the second is to write an official document for the newspaper based on your knowledge, and attach suggestions for solutions."
Most people have a bitter look on their faces. It’s such a difficult question. Why is it so difficult at the beginning?
Zhao Hanzhang hung the examination papers so that they could see them when they looked up. Then he sat on a chair, propped up his chin and watched them scratch their heads and scratch their heads.
When she was a teacher, because she taught piano, she had to listen to the students play during the exams and did not have the opportunity to "watch" them do the questions. Later, she was transferred to the library because of a fight, oh, no, she was suspected of assaulting a colleague.
She would have no chance to invigilate the exam.
Now I can really invigilate the exam with my own eyes, which feels good.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and no one dared to make any small moves under her nose.
This is actually the prototype of the imperial examination. She wants to make the examination the norm, but there is still something to be done. The most important thing is that the current system is not perfect.
She doesn't need something so complicated now. It would be nice if someone could join her now.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't care about his family background, and was even willing to lower his talent a little, as long as he had the ability to join the county government and become an official.
She is really in need of people everywhere now, especially in the military.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the six big men in the army and snorted softly. She was so blessed that she didn't know how to be blessed. If they could study well, they would be able to master the art of war in the future.
