"The magical weapon came from the sky!" This was Li Jie's first reaction after seeing Zhu Zhen's good news. Zhu Zhen grasped the opportunity very well. When Hu Jiyao and Fan Keyong were exhausted, they suddenly rushed to Shenglong City, leaving both sides without any preparation at all.

Moreover, Zhu Zhen was also very beautiful in his troops. He first used cavalry to rush Hu Jiyao's army outside the city to capture Hu Jiyao's father and son alive, and then used artillery to bombard the walls of Shenglong City. The entire army rushed in and occupied Shenglong City very easily and controlled the main figures on both sides.

It can be said that the whole good news was filled with a slight smell. It seemed that as soon as Zhu Zhen's army arrived, the two forces in Shenglong City surrendered, and it was not difficult to even take down the entire Annan.

But in fact, anyone with discerning eyes can see that Zhu Zhen just omitted a lot of things and took some difficulties through it. Of course, this is related to the sufficient preparations in the early stage. After all, after such a long time of preparation, if the dispatch of troops is not smooth, wouldn’t it mean that their previous efforts were wasted?

Of course, Zhu Zhen’s easy battle was also a fact. After all, he grasped the timing very accurately. Of course, thanks to the Jinyiwei. The various changes in Annan before were actually caused by their secret promotion. Even Fan Keyong’s rebellion was related to the support of the Jinyiwei.

"Okay, okay! Lao Liu fought in this battle with ease, and he is indeed my son!" Lao Zhu slapped the victory on the desk, and his old face showed a bright smile again. There were many happy events during this period. First, the American fleet came back, and now Zhu Zhen won this battle again, which made Lao Zhu laugh.

"Father, it is of course a good thing for the sixth brother to capture Shenglong City. Next, he will definitely use Shenglong City as the foundation to clean up some forces in Annan. The troops in his hands should be enough, but it is easy to manage but difficult to manage. The sixth brother also asked his father to send some officials to govern the local area in the good news. This is not an easy task?" Zhu Biao went forward and spoke, frowned at the end of his speech.

It is easy to conquer the country and difficult to defend the country. It has always been a big problem to manage the country. For example, in Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty has been under war for many years, and Mu Ying was even sent to guard it. But even so, some chaos will occur in Yunnan from time to time.

The situation in Annan is more complicated now than in Yunnan, especially Annan was an independent country before. Although Zhu Zhen entered Annan under the banner of restoring the Chen family, it will definitely trigger resistance in Annan over time, so it is not easy to manage Annan in order.

For example, what Zhu Zhen needs most now is people, not the army, but officials who help him manage local governments. Although there are many people who are willing to serve Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen dare not trust these people. After all, his strong intervention, although the power of Hu Jiyao and Fan Keyong was eliminated, the remaining Annan nobles also have their own small plans. If he dares to delegate power, a fire in the backyard might catch a fire the next day.

"Official?" Lao Zhu frowned when he heard this, and his fingers were knocking unconsciously on the table. Although the Ming Dynasty had many people and there were not many officials who governed the local area, these people performed their own duties, especially Lao Zhu was more obsessed with the door. An official wanted to let him do two people's work, and only gave half a person's salary, so the number of officials in the early Ming Dynasty was actually not too many.

"The Ministry of Personnel should be able to draw a group of officials, right?" Old Zhu thought for a while before asking Zhu Biao. He left all these things to Zhu Biao to deal with, so sometimes he also habitually asked Zhu Biao.

"I have reported to my father, the Ministry of Personnel can draw only a limited number of officials. My sixth brother needs at least hundreds of officials, but the Ministry of Personnel can only draw thirty or forty people at most. This is a bit different." Zhu Biao also replied helplessly at this time. After seeing the good news, he immediately asked about the situation of the Ministry of Personnel, and then came to meet Lao Zhu with Li Jie and the others.

"It's a bit bad. Do you want to be a entrusted to the imperial examination again?" Lao Zhu also whispered to himself. There were not enough officials. He immediately thought of the imperial examination. Although the imperial examination was once every three years since the Song Dynasty, if the emperor needs it, he can be a entrusted to the imperial examination at any time to meet the court's needs for officials.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of encore is also the favorite among students in Beijing. Because generally speaking, encore is relatively urgent, so the exam questions will not be too difficult. In addition, the encore is announced too short, and students from other places sometimes cannot arrive in the capital. In this way, students in the capital will take a lot of advantage, which is why many students like to study in Beijing.

"Father, although Kaien Ke is a way, students who can get fame and fortune will generally not be willing to go to an outsider like Annan. After all, officials who were exiled to the court could only be exiled to Qiongzhou at most, and Annan is farther away than Qiongzhou and the conditions are worse!" Zhu Biao said again with a wry smile.

Zhu Biao's words are the truth. Qiongzhou is Hainan Island. It has been the place where officials were exiled since the Song Dynasty. For example, Su Shi was exiled there. In comparison, Annan's conditions are not as good as Qiongzhou.

Think about it, a student who had been studying hard for many years finally became famous through layers of screening. It was the time when the emperor was proud of his life. As a result, the emperor asked them to go to Annan with just one word. This was even worse than exile. Maybe they would just resign. Even if Lao Zhu was domineering, he could not force others to go to Annan to serve the court, right?

Lao Zhu's face turned dark when he heard Zhu Biao's words. To be honest, if possible, he really wanted to force his disciples to Annan with a knife. After all, he was from a military army and paid attention to military orders in the army. As long as there were orders above, he had to jump down no matter how many swords and fires were, let alone mere Annan.

Unfortunately, there is still a difference between governing the country and governing the military. The relationship between officials and the emperor is actually more like the bosses and employees in later generations. However, the emperor, the boss, has more power and can even execute employees who make mistakes. However, if the employee is unwilling to do it, the person can resign and the boss cannot force him to stay.

"Li Jie, do you have any solutions?" Lao Zhu turned to Li Jie habitually and asked. When encountering such difficult-to-treat problems, Li Jie usually has unexpected views.

Sure enough, Li Jie smiled slightly at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I think of someone!"

"I ask you if there is any solution to the officials, not to make you think of someone!" Lao Zhu couldn't help but say annoyed when he heard Li Jie's inconsistent words.
