While everyone in Qipai Village was taking the recruitment exam in full swing, Zhao Yanhuan was also taking another exam in full swing.
Those who come to take the exam are all scholars under Zhao Yanhuan. Those who pass the exam will become the county magistrate who succeeds Gai Xiong.
Although Zhao Yanhuan wanted to replace the county magistrate with one of his own, he also didn't want to get an incompetent idiot.
Therefore, Zhao Yanhuan's exam was about people's livelihood and ability to govern. Literary talent, which is most valued by today's aristocratic families, is what Zhao Yanhuan values least.
After the recruitment of soldiers in Qipai Village ended, the exam also ended. The county magistrate selected was still Zhao Yanhuan's old acquaintance and Yu Zi's eldest brother, Yu Chengping.
Originally, Yu Chengping and Yu Chengan went to Yi'an Prefecture with Zhao Yanhuan to work as two stewards. When Zhao Yanhuan returned to Yi'an Prefecture to check whether his subordinates were doing things carefully, he found that Yu Chengping and Yu Chengan were very capable. .
These two people were also Zhao Yanhuan's confidants, so Zhao Yanhuan took them back to Qipai Village and asked them to take the exam together. Unexpectedly, the two of them did not disappoint Zhao Yanhuan and had the best test scores.
Zhao Yanhuan also hesitated for a long time. Both brothers can be county magistrates, but one county cannot have two magistrates.
After much thought, Zhao Yanhuan decided to let his eldest brother Yu Chengping, who had a relatively steady temper, be the county magistrate, and Yu Cheng An, who was a little impatient, be the county magistrate.
Zhao Yanhuan planned to let Yu Chengan train with Yu Chengping first. When she went to Nanzezhou in the future, Yu Chengan's official position would be indispensable.
When Yu Chengping and Yu Chengan took office as county magistrates and county magistrates, Zhao Yanhuan's recruitment of troops also ended.
There are a total of 20,000 first-class soldiers and 30,000 first-class soldiers. However, Zhao Yanhuan did not recruit ordinary soldiers, because these 50,000 people have almost taken away most of the active forces in several villages and villages in Qipai Village.
The land in Qipai Village is the best farmland that Zhao Yanhuan has cultivated over the years. It cannot be abandoned, so the remaining people, Zhao Yanhuan, are left to farm.
But before leaving with all the soldiers, Zhao Yanhuan first divided the land among the soldiers, with fifteen acres of land for first-class soldiers and ten acres for first-class soldiers.
After allocating the land, Zhao Yanhuan allotted all the land in Qipai Village, but Zhao Yanhuan didn't care. It was easy for her to get the land anyway.
Most of the soldiers here in Qipai Village are elite soldiers and first-class soldiers, while Yan Hua, who is helping Zhao Yanhuan recruit soldiers in Yi'an Prefecture, recruits mostly ordinary soldiers.
There was nothing we could do about it. Over in Yi'an Prefecture, neither the hidden households under Zhao Yanhuan nor the local people in Yi'an Prefecture had a good life.
The hidden people under Zhao Yanhuan were doing well. During this time, they ate and drank well, and their physical fitness improved a lot.
Although the people of Yi'an Prefecture had a better life because of Zhao Yanhuan, they were not much better off.
After all, under the pressure of corvees and taxes imposed by the emperor, no matter how easy it was, it was just a matter of starving to death. It was impossible not to starve to death. It was impossible for this physical condition to be good.
Therefore, in the entire Yi'an Prefecture, there are many people who have signed up to be soldiers. According to Zhao Yanhuan's standards, there are very few who can be selected as ordinary soldiers, let alone excellent soldiers.
After selecting the entire Yi'an Prefecture, Yan Hua only helped Zhao Yanhuan select 50,000 ordinary soldiers and 3,000 first-class soldiers.
These people are already the strongest laborers with the best physical fitness in the entire Yi'an Prefecture.
However, at least one-third of the 50,000 soldiers selected by Zhao Yanhuan in Qipai Village were female soldiers.
As for Yi'an Prefecture, although Yan Hua followed Zhao Yanhuan's instructions when recruiting soldiers, he stated that both male and female soldiers were required.
But there are less than 10,000 women who actually join the army. Only less than 1,000 women can meet Zhao Yanhuan's requirements and are strong enough to kill men.
These women who came to recruit soldiers all chose to be soldiers because they were about to die.
Although the oppression of women in this era is not as perverted as in the later period, it is still unacceptable for women to serve as soldiers and go to the battlefield with a group of men to kill the enemy. This kind of behavior definitely touches the interests of men.
The battlefield in ancient times has always been considered a battlefield that only men can touch, and it is also a fair of fame and fortune that only men can fight.
It's okay to occasionally have a female general who can't affect the overall situation, but it's still unacceptable to many people to allow countless ordinary women to benefit from the battlefield like men.
And among those who cannot accept this, many are women. These women who came to participate in the selection of female soldiers would not have made this choice if they had not had no choice.
As Zhao Yanhuan's confidant, Yan Hua knew that Zhao Yanhuan would not ignore these women who were not selected as female soldiers, so Yan Hua kept these women who were not selected as female soldiers and planned to ask Zhao Yanhuan what he wanted to do when Zhao Yanhuan came back. House these women.
Zhao Yanhuan's choice was very simple, just hand them over to her mother Li Qing and let Li Qing train these women to become field nurses.
Zhao Yanhuan has always wanted to train a group of nurses. Don't think that nurses are less important than doctors. In fact, the role of nurses is irreplaceable for doctors.
The world's first nurse, the famous lamp goddess Nightingale, was the first person to standardize the care of wounded soldiers. With her meticulous care, she reduced the mortality rate of wounded soldiers to 2%!
This was an incredible initiative, and Nightingale showed the world how important nurses really were.
Just caring for wounded soldiers inevitably involves close contact with men. In this era, if a woman comes into close contact with men, it will definitely affect her reputation.
Zhao Yanhuan can protect these nurses from being bullied by anyone, and can also prevent people from criticizing these nurses openly, but she can't control what others say behind their backs, and the nurses have to deal with it themselves.
It took Zhao Yanhuan more than ten years of subtle influence in Qipai Village to improve the status of women, and it also made women feel ashamed to join the military camp.
But outside Qipai Village, the outside world is still harsh on women, so Zhao Yanhuan has never really put the training of nurses on the agenda.
But now there is a group of people who can no longer survive and are ready to give up their reputation and become female soldiers. There is no more suitable candidate for a field nurse.
During this period, Li Qing was very busy going to Nanzezhou for a free clinic.
Free clinics are not something that can be done instantly. To implement free clinics, there are many things that need to be arranged, which is very annoying.
As a result, when Li Qing was busy flying, Zhao Yanhuan not only refused to help share the burden, but also directly gave her thousands of women to train her as a field nurse.
Li Qing covered her head, which was already agitated and had a headache due to the sudden increase in work that Zhao Yanhuan gave her. She didn't have a head and six arms, so how could she be so busy?
Zhao Yanhuan, who finally caused trouble for his mother, was chased around seven or eight times by his mother, Li Qing, with a feather duster, and was beaten severely before he came back to help Li Qing.
