After the announcement of the list, the scholars lingered around the city and never left until noon. No one left.

Li Mengxi originally wanted to see the excitement of the scholars watching the rankings. He proposed to stand on the city wall and watch, but Liu Bei refused.

Liu Bei said that it would be rude to stand on the city wall and look down on others while others were watching the rankings, as if they were on top of others.

Li Mengxi was shocked that there was such a statement.

After a second thought, Li Mengxi put himself in someone else's shoes. If he was looking at something in the corner, and there was a person standing above him, looking down with his hands folded in a condescending manner, he might even spit out some immoral things, which would make him mad.

.

Etiquette can actually be reflected here. Li Mengxi realized that he could not stand on others easily, even without spitting.

In order to take etiquette into consideration, Li Mengxi, Liu Bei and Guan Yu went out from other city gates, made a large circle, and quietly got behind the scholars, watching from a distance. This view lasted all morning.

After a morning, the scholars must have had a clear idea of ​​their own examination results and those of others, and the purpose of making everything public has been achieved.

Li Mengxi asked Liu Bei when he would reward everyone with official positions.

Liu Bei lowered his head, glanced at Li Mengxi, and asked, "Have you prepared your clothes and armor?"

"Okay." Li Mengxi replied.

Preparing clothes and armor is for the sense of ceremony, and the sense of ceremony is very important. It is too shabby to open a subject and get a scholar without even giving out a piece of clothing.

Originally, Li Mengxi asked Liu Bei in advance what the style of the official uniforms of the Han Dynasty was, and then he made it. Liu Bei knew some of the clothing styles and told him about it. As a result, Li Mengxi took some silk and went to the embroiderer to make it. The embroiderer said it would take a while.

It can be done in a day.

You have to wait for several days, and the most lacking thing is time.

Therefore, in desperation, he could only use clothes and armor instead of official uniforms.

One hundred sets of fine armor and stomachs were transferred from the army, and hundreds of fine, hundred-refined rings were transferred from the army. They were already prepared.

In order to build up momentum, Li Mengxi thought for a while, summoned the civilians, and formed a huge formation to support the scene.

The scholars outside the west gate heard the sound of the movement of men and horses, and followed the sound and looked behind them, and saw the dark figures gathered together. Everyone saw it and made some guesses.

Soon, the soldiers came and ordered the scholars to attend the official ceremony.

After several days of hard work, just waiting for today, the scholars flocked away.

When a few hundred scholars arrived, behind them was an endless sea of ​​hundreds of thousands of civilians. In front of them were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Li Mengxi in serious attire. After them, there were a dozen flag-bearing soldiers.

, the brocade flag is embroidered with many unclear words such as "officials", "soldiers" and "farmers".

There are dozens of soldiers holding flags in a row. Behind them, there is a long horizontal queue with guns. The soldiers in the queue are all in line with their guns. The sight of them is solemn and makes people involuntarily become serious.

The eyes of all the scholars were focused on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Li Mengxi. In any case, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Li Mengxi were tall and tall, and there was a short young boy standing next to them. In any case, this was too abrupt.

At the front of the crowd, Jian Yong crossed his arms and stared at Li Mengxi with interest.

He saw Li Mengxi wearing a pair of heavy and handsome iron armor. He had no helmet on his head, his hair was tied up in red silk, and he was wearing a red cloak behind him. He was standing upright, holding a sword in his hand, and looked serious. This was the first time Jian Yong saw a man in armor.

Once Jian Yong saw Li Mengxi wearing armor, he felt that Li Mengxi really looked heroic and extraordinary.

People are judged by their clothes. Li Mengxi's outfit looks much better than that of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

When Liu Bei saw that everyone was gathered, he looked at Li Mengxi and Li Mengxi nodded.

Then, Liu Bei came out with his sword in hand and shouted to the scholars, "I, Julu, have taken the imperial examination this time, which is the first of its kind in the world.

The scholars worked hard for several days, and their knowledge was fully displayed in the test.

As promised before, this scientific examination will only be conducted by talents, regardless of origin or family background.

It has been half a day since the Ximen list was released. I would like to ask, does anyone have any doubts or feel that it is unfair?" Liu Bei glanced at the scholars below.

There was only a moment of silence before the scholars returned, "There is no injustice! Those with the most talent are on the list, and we are convinced! This is the ultimate justice!"

"Fair! I will wait for it without a doubt!"

…

The scholars praised Liu Bei's method of recruiting talents from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, Liu Bei was very pleased to see that the scholars generally supported the imperial examination.

"That's good! Since no one has any doubts, now the hundred people who have won the list will be awarded official positions!"

After a pause, Liu Bei collected his words and said in a deep voice, "I have been planning with the military advisor for several days to divide our Julu political and military structure into dozens of departments.

The first part is the [Personnel Department], which is responsible for the promotion, appointment, dismissal, assessment, dismissal, and salary distribution of officials. The Personnel Department is the official in charge of the officials.

From top to bottom, there are ministers and deputy ministers, then department officers, then division officers, then bureau officers, then section officers, which are divided into five levels.

The second part is [Ministry of Justice], the judicial disputes between the Ministry of Justice and the criminal investigation.

The Ministry of Justice also has subordinate officers and deputy officers in departments and bureaus.

The third part is the [Legislative Department]. The Legislative Department is dedicated to legislating laws and regulations, and has officials similar to those above.

The fourth department is the [Executive Department], which is responsible for all matters except judicial legislation.

The administration also has five levels of subordinate officials.”

"The fifth department is responsible for the [Ministry of Agriculture] management of mulberry farming. It has five levels of subordinate officials."

"The sixth department is the [Ministry of Industry], which is responsible for regulating various industries."

"The seventh department is the [Engineering Department], which is responsible for water conservancy, road construction, city construction and other major engineering projects."

"The eighth is the [Ministry of Education], which is responsible for education and talent cultivation."

"The ninth [Science Department] is a collection of masters and craftsmen who specialize in learning and engineering skills."

"The tenth [Ministry of War] is in charge of military affairs and military campaigns."

"The 11th [Ministry of Finance] is in charge of household registration, tax payment, money expenditure, etc."

"The twelfth [Ministry of Foreign Affairs] is responsible for negotiating with the four parties and accepting all external affairs."

"The Thirteenth [Medical Department] is in charge of the recruitment of medical doctors and the prevention of epidemics."

"As mentioned, for the time being, these 13 departments are in charge of the affairs of the government and the army. All official positions, big and small, are under the leadership of these 13 departments. Can anyone have any objections?"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, there was a commotion below, and the scholars began to whisper.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Many of the scholars were familiar with the official structure of the Han Dynasty. They were still thinking about what kind of official positions Liu Bei would grant. As a result, Liu Bei did not appoint officials according to the official positions of the Han Dynasty, but another

There were regulations, and the scholars immediately started discussing them.

In the crowd, Jian Yong listened to Liu Bei's plans for the thirteen political and military departments. Jian Yong guessed a thing or two about Liu Bei's intentions. After all, Liu Bei was still a white man, and it was inconvenient to appoint him to an official position.

Real population.

Jian Yong believed that Liu Bei's move was brilliant.

After a while, the discussion among the scholars gradually died down. Although the structure of the government and military of the Thirteen Ministries was very different from the official positions of the Han Dynasty, the structure was simple and clear and easy to understand.

At this time, many scholars realized that it was no wonder that there were so many subjects in the examination. It turned out that they were here to select talents for these thirteen departments.

When the voices in the audience died down, Liu Bei glanced at the hundreds of scholars and shouted loudly, "The leader of the list is a member of Julu Guangzong, where is Qin Shu?"

The scholars looked around, waiting for Qin Shu to come out.

"Where is Qin Shu?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Someone...is here!"

There was an excited response from the crowd.

Then they saw a person squeeze out of the crowd, and he came out so quickly that the loose shoes on Qin Shu's feet were squeezed off.

Qin Shu was so embarrassed that he looked back with his bare feet. A scholar, holding back his laughter, threw his shoes back.

Qin Shu's face turned red, and he quickly put on his shoes and moved forward.

Seeing this scene, the crowd burst into good-natured laughter.

The vast majority of people, especially the people in Julu Junzi Camp, the scholars who had the same fate as those who survived the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were also happy for Qin Shu when they saw that someone in their group was going to make it straight.

All the Julu scholars watched with smiles as Qin Shu stepped forward to confer an official title.

When Qin Shu arrived, Liu Bei took a look at Qin Shu's ragged clothes, especially at Qin Shu's feet. Liu Bei said apologetically, "The army is short of nobles, so we can't give him fine clothes for the time being, so please give Qin Shu some shabby clothes."

Sorry, wait until later..."

Before Liu Bei had finished blaming himself, Qin Shu knelt down on one knee and bowed to Liu Bei. He looked up at Liu Bei with red eyes and said gratefully, "Don't say this, Mr. Xuande. Qin Shu must have survived the encounter with Mr. Xuande."

, There is no way I can repay this great kindness, even if I don’t have brocade clothes and fine clothes, Qin Shu is willing to die to serve!"

After saying that, Qin Shu sank to his knees and was about to kowtow. Liu Bei rushed out, grabbed Qin Shu's arm and dragged him up. Liu Bei looked at Qin Shu, nodded with a smile, and shouted to the side,

"Present the armor!"

Immediately, the soldiers nearby who had been prepared ran up with a tray containing neatly stacked armor and a sword on top.

When Qin Shu took over the armor, Liu Bei glanced at Qin Shu, then swept his eyes across the hundreds of paying attention to the soldiers, and said in a loud voice, "I will now appoint Qin Shu as the Chief of the Ministry of Personnel and take over today!"

Generally, in later generations, there would be warm applause on this occasion, but at this time, there was no applause, and the scholars cheered loudly and cheered loudly.

After receiving the armor, Qin Shu also knew his official position. At this time, he didn't know whether to continue standing or get down. Then Qin Shu saw the military advisor and secretly waved to him.

Qin Shu immediately found his backbone and hurried towards Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi stepped forward, pulled Qin Shu's clothes, and pointed to the side. Qin Shu bent down and followed what Li Mengxi pointed at, "Look at that [official"

There is no flag for the ministry, so just go over there, and your subordinate officials will be there soon."

Qin Shu followed Li Mengxi's instructions and passed by holding his armor and sword.

Everyone in the Yellow Turban Junzi Camp was familiar with Li Mengxi, but Jian Yong and other Zhuozhou scholars didn't know it. Off the court, Jian Yong had been paying attention. When he saw that Qin Shu, who was at the top of the list, and Li Mengxi were very familiar with each other, and they were submissive, Jian Yong felt that

, if this is the case, no matter how many official positions you are granted today, no matter what kind of official you are, even if you become an official, I am afraid that the officials will support the little military advisor very much.

Jian Yong once again felt that Liu Bei's little military commander was so popular.
