"Well, since Huaidong has been eliminated, let him come back!"

Wang Jing said calmly.

In fact, the situation of Tang Shengzong in Huaidong was sent to Sihong every few days. Wang Jingneng could see that when Tang Shengzong was in Huaidong, he was still doing things steadily at the beginning.

But after having Shen Tianzi and Zhang Hao under his command, he became a little radical.

Continuous battles, non-stop, severely squeezed the physical strength of the soldiers under his command, which also led to unnecessary losses during the fight.

Seeing that the Huai army was about to expand its army.

He was anxious, worried that he would not be able to return in time during the expansion of the army to participate in this opportunity for official promotion.

Through this, Wang Jing could see that Tang Shengzong's mentality was somewhat unstable.

Since I sent him to suppress the bandits and perform meritorious service, I must have wanted to promote him. Even if he didn't come back in time, I would not lose his benefits.

But Tang Shengzong was too worried about gains and losses. Even if he thought of this, he couldn't help but think wildly.

Such a mentality is still far behind that of a general commanding an army.

At this time Wang Jing also realized it.

Why did Tang Shengzong follow Zhu Yuanzhang very early, and he himself had the ability to lead troops, but he never had an outstanding record or the experience of being on his own.

With such a mentality, he can only serve as the deputy general of the army.

Wang Jing saw Tang Shengzong's flaws and did not change his focus on promoting him, but his expectations for him would definitely be lowered.

If it is necessary to send generals on an expedition in the future, his chances are slim.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is the imperial examination! I have chosen the date for the imperial examination, please make your decision, Your Majesty!"

After finishing talking about military affairs, Shen Yi took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

More and more scholars gathered in Sihong, from the north and from the west... Many scholars under the Xiang Jiajun and the Northern Wei Army came to take the exam.

From this point, it can be seen that the Xiang Jiajun and the Northern Wei Army did not have real internal stability.

The scholars under their rule did not regard them as monarchs.

After all, Xiang Yu's reputation is known to all scholars, and no one wants to defect to a monarch who is unwilling to give up his official seal and reward his subordinates.

Moreover, Xiang Yu is famous for not having an overall view of the situation. With this flaw, no matter how strong Xiang Yu's personal ability and army commanding ability are, no scholar will be optimistic about him.

"The exam will start on February 15th... Okay, then the first college exam will start on February 15th!"

Wang Jing looked through the details sent by Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang and had no objection.

Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang are both veterans who are very familiar with the imperial examination.

The outline and details that have been sorted out are comprehensive and there are no flaws.

As for the examination room, 5,000 seats were built in the original military camp in Sihong. With sufficient manpower and materials, the examination room was built very quickly and could accommodate the scholars taking the examination in Sihong.

"I understand, I will post the edict immediately..."

Shen Yi said immediately.

The most important thing for the Huai Army at the moment is the attachment of Cao Jingzong and the possible threat from Xuzhou in the north, and the expansion of the army and the imperial examination internally. The imperial examination was the most important.

The selection of scholars through the imperial examination is related to the foundation of the Huai army in the future and the establishment of the official system of the government.

As long as this time is successfully held, the next imperial examination and the next one will be successful, and a steady stream of talents will be brought to the Huai army.

"By the way, fraud must be strictly guarded against. The imperial examination is the foundation of our army, especially the first imperial examination. Many wealthy families and other princes are paying close attention to it!"

"If you don't do it right, you will make people laugh!"

Wang Jing suddenly thought of cheating and quickly reminded him.

For example, many scholars who are taking the exam have strong mental strength. If they use their mental strength to observe other people's test papers, they can take advantage of it. This situation must not happen.

If this kind of behavior is not prohibited in the imperial examination, then in the future the imperial examination will only test the spiritual strength of the scholars. What other articles will be tested?

What the Huai Army needs are civil servants who can govern the place, not elm-headed men who are mentally strong but know little about other aspects.

"yes!"

Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang certainly knew how destructive cheating was to the imperial examination. When they were building the examination hall, they had already asked people from the Construction Department and Daozhengsi to set up magic circles that shielded and suppressed spiritual power.

In the examination room, no one can cheat through mental power.



The streets of Sihong have become more prosperous than before.

Thousands of scholars poured into Sihong. The number seemed small. Compared with the city with a population of hundreds of thousands, it was like a stream flowing into a big river.

But apart from these scholars.

There are also a large number of scholars, wealthy businessmen and businessmen from other places, and families who are preparing to settle down in Sihong.

in their eyes.

The Huai army, which was able to take the imperial examination to obtain scholars, was already different from other princes. While other princes were still fighting against each other, the Huai army was leisurely carrying out the imperial examination to obtain scholars.

This means that the strength of the Huai army has surpassed that of many nearby princes, and the prefectures and counties under its rule are peaceful and peaceful, with no wars.

As long as they are normal people, they like a stable and peaceful environment and do not want to live in war.

Therefore, many people took advantage of the opportunity of the Huai Army imperial examination to prepare to settle down in Sihong.

On a street near the government office.

Many scholars rented accommodation in nearby inns and restaurants, and many locals in Sihong took advantage of the gathering of scholars to clean up their own homes and rent them out, taking the opportunity to make a lot of money.

In the square near the center of Sihong, there is a screen wall erected. Many official notices and edicts from Sihong were first posted on this wall.

Then go and post the announcement somewhere else.

Many scholars have great expectations for the imperial examination. They want to see the official announcement as soon as possible so that they can go back and prepare.

"The King of Huai used the imperial examination to select scholars. He really won the hearts of all the scholars in Jianghuai and other places!"

In a restaurant near the street.

Two men with short beards who looked to be in their thirties were sitting near the door, holding tea bowls and talking in a low voice.

"Yes, if the imperial examination wins people's hearts, talents from all over the world will continue to gather in Sihong. Over time, the Huai army will become stronger and stronger. The other princes will lose their talents and continue to bleed. Sooner or later, they will be annexed by the King of Huai!"

Another man also whispered.

While talking.

Two young men in official uniforms came to the screen wall next to the square and began to post notices.

Many nearby scholars on the street saw this scene and immediately became commotion.

Many scholars ran out immediately.

"The government has posted a notice, it must be announcing the date and rules of the imperial examination..."

Someone shouted in surprise.

"Come up and have a look!"

The other scholars, calling their friends, hurriedly rushed to the wall to read and watch quickly.
