Chapter 86 Sharpening
On the second day of the announcement, Ye Zhao grandly met thirty-six selected students at the General's Mansion.
Except for the three A, there are only six people in the three B. There are ten people in each level, and the number of thirty-six people has been collected. The rest are all students such as C, and they are not able to participate in this election.
Under Ye Zhao's position, thirty-six scholars listed on the list were ranked one by one, and they were all full of energy. Even though Gan Ning was cleaned up by Guan Yu yesterday, he was sticking out his butt and trying to straighten his chest. It looked a little weird. People around him wanted to laugh, but due to this solemn environment, they dared not laugh out loud. They all felt very uncomfortable.
"Young master, everyone is here." Uncle Liang stood beside Ye Zhao and bowed. As an old man of the Ye family, he not only watched Ye Zhao grow up, but also Ye Zhao was working in the Central Plains when he was in office and traveled to the Central Plains. Uncle Liang was also helping him manage the family affairs in an orderly manner. Now Ye Zhao is a general of the cavalry and has a lot of talents under his command. Uncle Liang no longer needs to work too hard. Therefore, he became Ye Zhao's close attendant. On weekdays, Ye Zhao summoned all officials to discuss matters, and Uncle Liang would be with him, so Ye Zhao was relieved to use it.
Although he has no official position, everyone knows that as long as Ye Zhao is still alive, he is still the lord of Shu. Uncle Liang is the kind of existence that is at the third level of the official position.
"This time, the selection of scholars, Chengdu Academy, and the recommendation of various families, led 507 people to participate in the assessment, and the martial arts, political strategy and military strategy were assessed separately." Ye Zhao cleared his throat, looked at the students and scholars sitting down and smiled: "First of all, congratulations to you, you can be regarded as the pillars of our Shu family. This marquis said before that if you do not ask about your background, you only ask about your talents. As long as you can pass the assessment, you can become an official. There are currently three counties and thirty-six counties, including Shu County, Guanghan and Jianwei counties, which are extremely vassal states. According to your ranking, you will be well fond."
"Here!" Man Chong walked up with a volume of books in his hand, unfolded the books, looked at everyone, and read aloud: "Zhang Ren led the county magistrate of Hanjia County, the magistrate of Shu County, Guan Ping led the county magistrate of Zhuti County, Gan Ning led the Yinping Road of Guanghan's three magistrates, and Cheng Fang led the county magistrate of Shu Army... Le Qian led the county magistrate of Mianzhu County!"
As Man Chong read the appointment letter, everyone's expressions gradually became strange. Zhu Yu asked in confusion: "Lord, have Mandu Ling collapsed?"
As the places appointed by the six people of the Three Ages, they are actually all vassal states. Although the vassal states of the three counties belong to the three counties in name, they are actually mostly Qiang and Han people living together, even mainly Qiang people. They are not directly under the jurisdiction of Shu, but are only nominally owned.
"No mistake!" Ye Zhao stood up and said calmly: "I entered the officialdom at the age of 16. I may have never heard of it when I first started in Macheng, Youzhou. At that time, there were only more than 1,000 households in Macheng, and less than fifty miles away from Danhan Mountain. I was invaded by Hu and the Hu and Han were living in mixed places, with a small population and a deserted land. It took me two years to make Macheng more than 10,000 households and a hundred industries flourish."
"I'm not saying this to you how powerful this marquis is. I just want to tell you that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sword is sharpened by the sharpening. Without the experience of Macheng back then, I may not have the glory of today. The people of the Three Ages are all pillars of our Shu. Although there is no risk, they will not have great achievements. This time, the selection of scholars also means training. If it is in a prosperous place, I am worried that these talents will be corrupted by prosperity and will eventually become the people. The three Ages and six people not only serve as the county magistrate, but also the position of leading the army Sima. The Three Ages and Six Shou can give you two hundred soldiers to each person, but there are five hundred staff members. As for whether this staff can be completed, it depends on your ability."
"This is not a college. You and others can abandon everything and study with peace of mind. Since you and the six of you are the best disciples of this class, I hope you and others can make enough results to prove that you and others are the best." Ye Zhao looked at the six people and said aloud: "Of course, you can also refuse. There are other counties in the three counties for six to choose from."
"Lord!" Zhang Ren took a step forward and bowed, "The students are willing to go to the post to sanction the Qiang troubles for the Lord!"
"Guan Ping is also willing to clear the world for the lord!" Guan Ping was not willing to be outdone, so he stepped out and said loudly.
"The local military and political power belongs to you. I don't want you to have any restraints. This marquis can provide convenience for you, but I hope you will not disappoint me!" Ye Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
Several other disciples also came forward to ask for their orders, and even students of B hoped to be transferred to a barren place and show their strengths.
Ye Zhao looked at Gan Ning. Among the people, only Gan Ning didn't speak.
"Ye...Master..." Gan Ning was a little embarrassed. He was still loyal to Ye Zhao, but why did this current situation make him feel like he was forced?
"Xingba is unwilling to go, so I will not be embarrassed. Among the other counties, Xingba can choose one, but the military power cannot be given to you." Ye Zhao said calmly.
"No...no!" Gan Ning shook his head quickly and said unwillingly: "Lord, my subordinates have brought some people from their hometowns this time. They are all good at abilities. I wonder if I can entrust them into the army?"
"Is two hundred enough?" Ye Zhao asked.
"Absolutely." Gan Ning nodded. Although there were not two hundred, there were still more than one hundred people.
"Then I will help you make up for the 200th, but these people need to be included in our army. Officials and generals from all over the country must not have private soldiers." Ye Zhao said calmly.
"Don't worry, lord, since Gan Ning has been loyal to his lord, they are naturally the lords." Gan Ning nodded and said.
"If there is no objection, I will immediately issue official seals and documents. Fang Yue and Ding Li, you two will help the six people to select soldiers in the army and set off." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said.
"Here!" Fang Yue, Ding Li took a step forward, bowed to everyone, and then surrendered to Ye Zhao.
"Young Master, will there be any accidents in this way?" After everyone dispersed, Uncle Liang said with some concern.
The Ye family finally gained its momentum. These younger generations of talents are the future of the Ye family. Ye Zhao's training method is so ruthless that he is worried that these talents will die early before they shine.
"All of them are good talents." Ye Zhao shook his head: "Uncle Liang, don't spoil them too much. Without hardship, it will never be able to stand alone. I was much more difficult than them back then. Even the prefecture had someone who wanted my life. I recruited talents not to protect them."
Uncle Liang just mentioned it casually. Seeing that Ye Zhao had already made a suggestion, he stopped talking and followed Ye Zhao to the mansion.
In the evening, Zhang Ren and his six men had already selected their own soldiers. These were all elite soldiers selected from the army, and they also saved them from training. After everyone said goodbye to each other, they went home.
Guan Ping stood in front of Guan Mansion, stared helplessly at Gan Ning who was following him with his butt sticking out, saying, "What are you doing with me?"
"Brother Guan doesn't have to be so polite. I'm going to set off tomorrow. Of course, I'm here to say goodbye to my mentor." Gan Ning stuck out his butt, looking very familiar, as if he had forgotten that just yesterday, the two of them were trying to look at each other.
"My sword technique is a family tradition and cannot be granted to you!" Guan Ping snorted coldly. He knew what this guy was thinking about.
"I have never hoped to learn the sword skills of Guan's family, but I just hope that my teacher can give me some more skills!" Gan Ning laughed. The origin of his family can be traced back to the Warring States Period. Naturally, there are family-born martial arts at home, but no matter how good the martial arts are, it depends on who will use them. It requires a famous teacher on demand. In Gan Ning's opinion, Guan Yu is obviously a famous teacher.
"Father may not teach you!" Guan Ping said helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, just go and have a visit. You and I are also a fellow disciple. Why be so indifferent? It's said that you don't know each other without fighting. You and I are both men. The relationship between men is all caused by fighting." Gan Ning smiled and hugged Guan Ping's shoulder and said, "If Brother Guan is in trouble in the future, even if you tell me, I don't have many other brothers, but there are many brothers. In this Bashu land, there are no things that brothers can't handle!"
"Who is your brother?" Guan Ping snorted coldly, "Do you dare to say this in front of your lord?"
"This..." Gan Ning smiled and said, "I'm talking about Green Forest. These Green Forest heroes in Shu basically have friendship with me. You know, there are some things that the government is not suitable for the government to come forward, but Green Forest can settle them."
"The Major General is back!" While the two were talking at the door, they saw Zhou Cang coming out of the door. Seeing the two of them, they were stunned and said, "This is..."
"I'm in Gan Ning, and I'm a friend of my brothers Guan!" Before Guan Ping could speak, Gan Ning had already stepped forward and said to Zhou Cang with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Guan introduced me, so I got General Guan's guidance. I'll thank you today."
"It turns out to be a friend of the Major General, please come and ask." Zhou Cang did not follow Guan Yu to the academy yesterday. He did not doubt that he was there when he heard this. He turned sideways and led the two into Guan Mansion.
"Uncle Cang...father he..." Guan Ping ignored Gan Ning and looked at Zhou Cang and said, "Are you still angry?"
"The general's temper should be known to the general." Zhou Cang sighed and shook his head.
"But I will take office tomorrow and not be at home for the next year. Father..." Guan Ping was a little embarrassed. He wanted Guan Yu to stay. This time he would be valued by Ye Zhao and become the magistrate of Zhuti County. He was determined to show his strength, but he was worried that Guan Yu would leave when he took office. He was quite entangled.
"So quickly?" Zhou Cang frowned and thought, "Major General, go and rest, I'll talk to the general."
"Then I'll have Uncle Lao Cang." Guan Ping nodded and watched Zhou Cang leave.
"What's going on?" Gan Ning came up with curious look on her face.
"My family affairs have nothing to do with you." Guan Ping frowned and looked at Gan Ning and said.
"However, do you treat me as an outsider?" Gan Ning glared at Guan Ping.
"certainly."
Gan Ning: “…”
Taking a deep breath, Gan Ning came up and said, "Brother Guan, tell me, maybe I have a way!"
"You?" Guan Ping looked at Gan Ning and said, "Take it serious?"
"How do I know if you don't say it?" Gan Ning looked at Guan Ping with a gossip.
