As time goes by, the Yellow Turbans outside become more and more fierce.
Traces of the Yellow Turbans can even be seen from time to time outside Daliu Town, but most of those Yellow Turbans retreated knowingly when they saw the heavily guarded troops on the wooden walls of Daliu Town.
A small group of ignorant people were wiped out by the 200 pikemen who were training under the leadership of Zhou Cang.
Several encirclements and suppressions greatly increased the experience of those spearmen, so that in less than a week, the 200 spearmen were trained.
【Commander】: Zhou Cang
[Troop]: Daliu Town Spearmen
[Strength]: First level (average force value: 9.3+2)
【Number of people】: 200
[Average proficiency]: Recruit (Level 31)
[Characteristics]: Spear Formation: Grants the battle formation 'Lance Formation', with +2 force and -8% damage.
[Morale]: 7 (full value 10, higher morale)
[Salary]: 500 copper coins/unit/month, 60 units of grain/unit/month
[Characteristics enjoyed]: Regroup (blue) (Given by Zhou Cang, the physical recovery speed of the soldiers under his command is +20%. After being defeated, the speed of gathering the remaining soldiers is slightly increased.)
With these 200 units of first-order pikemen, the security of Daliu Town has been greatly improved.
No matter how powerful Xiao Jing's army was before, the small number of troops was always a major flaw. The stronger Zhou Cang was, but he only had one, and there were many places to defend.
Huangshan Village, Daliu Town, and the two villages affiliated with Daliu Town: Tushi Village and Qinghe Village, all need to be defended.
But even including the Yellow Turban surrender troops, Xiao Jing's troops only numbered more than 1,500, and the vast majority of the Yellow Turban surrender troops needed to stay in the barren mountain village.
After all, Da Liu Town had initially decided that if the Yellow Turban surrendered troops appeared in Da Liu Town, and someone with scheming intentions (careerists) stabbed him, reported him, and accused him of colluding with the Yellow Turbans, Xiao Jing would really be in trouble. He couldn't explain it. Got it!
Therefore, after Xiao Jing ordered Zhou Cang to tame the Yellow Turbans, he immediately ordered those Yellow Turbans to be sent to Huangshan Village!
Therefore, currently, in terms of the number of troops, Huangshan Village has the largest defensive force, but in terms of quality, it is hard to describe!
In the past few days, Xiao Jing has been dealing with government affairs in Daliu Town and has no time to 'brush' the Yellow Turban, but this does not mean that Xiao Jing has gained nothing.
On the contrary, because the stall is bigger and more defensive, there are always yellow scarves who don't open their eyes, and Xiao Jing earns "merit" every day.
Scattered down, so far, Xiao Jing's meritorious service has even reached more than 3,000 on the merit list. He can't compare with those big guys on the overall list who are constantly making money, but he has always been at the top of the player list. He can be called Outstanding!
"The training of 200 spearmen has been completed. The current defense force of Da Liu Town is sufficient. 200 first-level spearmen + more than 200 local warriors. It has a strong city. In addition, I will send a seventh-level general to take charge in the future. Even if I lead the main force to leave in the future, It should be foolproof!" Xiao Jing thought to himself.
Shaking his head, Xiao Jing stopped thinking about it. After all, the Yellow Turban was in charge and he still needed to stay in Da Liu Town for a while...
"The garrison is not urgent, but the food collection and taxation... ugh!"
After coming back to her senses, Xiao Jing looked at the high and thick pile of documents on the desk and let out a long sigh.
He had just taken over Daliu Town, and no matter how generous he was, he could not immediately delegate power to those officials, so he had to do everything himself, which was why he was so tired.
"No, we can't go on like this. There are so many things going on in Da Liu Town. If I control the county, county and prefecture cities in the future, will I be able to do other things?"
Xiao Jing stretched out her sore arms and thought to herself.
"If the 'imperial examination' is possible, it must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too little talent!"
The talent selection of the Eastern Han Dynasty was based on "chaju" and "conquest", and counties and counties recommended virtuous talents to the central government. The intention was good, but during the development, they were slowly controlled by aristocratic families.
This is exactly what people from poor families and common people say!
"No, the imperial examination system cannot be implemented. The aristocratic families of the Eastern Han Dynasty are powerful, but my own strength is too weak..."
Xiao Jing walked around the house and thought about it for a while. Xiao Jing finally denied his idea and gave up the idea of implementing the 'imperial examination'.
It is undeniable that the 'imperial examination system' itself is good, as it can break the monopoly of talented families and select a large number of talents, but in essence this system is extremely advanced.
Once implemented, it means that Xiao Jing will have to face off against that huge 'noble family'. Don't you see that in the later period, Cao Cao was unable to fight against that huge aristocratic family, so he only implemented a 'nine-level Zhongzheng system'?
"At present, the 'imperial examination system' is difficult to implement, and the 'chaju' system exists, and it has its own reasons. In the past few days, I have been conducting the 'chaju' in Daliu Town, and asked my officials to recommend talents! After the recommendation, I will proceed After inspection, you can always select some talents!”
Xiao Jing paced and thought, secretly making up his mind.
Although Da Liu Town is just a town, the mayor is only a ninth-grade official, and the officials in the town are even lower-grade officials. However, no matter how small an official is, he is still an official, and his class is different.
He can't attract great talents, but Xiao Jing is not greedy, so he can just attract some middle- and low-level talents who can share the government affairs for him!
…
The mayor's mansion of Daliu Town.
Looking at the officials in the audience, Xiao Jing slowly spoke.
"Today, I call everyone here for nothing else but two things!"
After a pause, Xiao Jing looked at the officials below and continued.
"First of all, you all know that there is a shortage of officials in the town, so I hope that all the adults can 'recommend' talents to me, and they can be hired after inspection!"
Before Xiao Jing could finish speaking, the officials below started talking in whispers.
Recommend? ! ! !
Among the officials, Niu Yang was startled when he heard this, and his heart moved.
"Recommend?! My brother Zhang is both civil and military, maybe..."
But then, Niu Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master Xiao is just a mayor. Although he seems to have both civil and military skills and seems to be a wise master, but..."
"However, the mayor's official position is too low, so I'm afraid Brother Zhang won't take notice of him at all. Maybe when Mr. Xiao takes control of Shanwu City, he may be so attractive to Brother Zhang..."
Shaking his head, Niu Yang gave up the idea of recommending his brother Zhang to Xiao Jing and turned to watch the other officials in the government discuss.
"Recommend? Do we still have the qualifications to recommend?! That's great!"
"I know a talented person in Shanwu City. He is extremely good at politics, but his personal ethics are dirty. I don't know if the mayor will..."
"I have a relative, he..."
…
"Quiet!!"
Seeing the officials whispering, Zhou Cang took a step forward and shouted with a loud voice, instantly silencing the excited crowd.
Xiao Jing glanced at Zhou Cang with satisfaction, nodded, and continued.
"You can feel the recommendation on your own. Those who recommend can come to the mayor's office to find me. After the inspection, if they are talented, I will appoint them!"
"The most important thing right now is the next thing!"
"April has come to an end, and the food requisition and tax collection are imminent!"
