Pang Tong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I met the governor of the state."

Liu Jing looked back at him and smiled slightly, "It turns out it's Pang Yuancheng. It's been a long time since I saw you, please sit down."

Liu Jing did not sit in his seat and waited for him. In fact, he was just giving Pang Tong a face and not allowing him to pay homage. After all, he was once Liu Bei's deputy military advisor, so he had to give him a step and slowly adapt to himself.

Liu Jing and Pang Tong each sat down. A book boy brought in two cups of tea. Liu Jing took a sip of hot tea, and then asked with a smile: "Pang Yuancheng is very busy during this period."

Pang Tong hurriedly bowed and said, "Fortunately, I don't care about the academy for the time being. Now I'm concentrating on the exam. Although I'm a little busy, I feel very comfortable."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile, "That's right. The most joyful thing is to achieve success in things. In fact, the same is true for me. From Chaisang to the time when I developed step by step, I occupied the two states of Jingyi today, and I often feel the joy of achievement."

"The state governor cannot be satisfied with Jingyi and the two states," Pang Tong couldn't help but say.

Liu Jing laughed and bowed, "Thank you, the minister, for reminding me, Liu Jing dare not slacken."

Pang Tong also laughed, and the tension in his heart gradually disappeared. He turned the topic to the main business, "I came today to report on the exam. The time is set on the tenth day of the October 10th, and there are five days left. This is the first exam. It was originally planned to admit 10% of the taxi, but now there are 15,000 people who have signed up, and 10,000 people are admitted. Is there a little more people who have been admitted like this?"

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It's true that there are more, and it will be reduced by half to 5,000 people. Even if you don't register an official in the end, you can still study at Jingzhou Academy and Yizhou Academy. As for the number of officials who are finally admitted to them, they must be controlled within the people."

Pang Tong hurriedly bowed and said, "But the original plan was a human being, but now it has been reduced to a human being, isn't it a little less?"

"Scarce is precious, but only when there is little, it seems precious."

"But one hundred thousand people"

Before Pang Tong finished speaking, Liu Jing waved his hand and interrupted him, "There are not so many vacancies in Jingzhou and Yizhou for a while. Besides, you can be admitted to the academy and study in the academy for a backup. In the future, outstanding people can continue to make up for the vacancies from the academy. This matter is decided."

Pang Tong had no choice but to nod and agreed. Seeing that he was a little reluctant, Liu Jing added with a smile: "The key is to do some details well. In addition to ensuring their food and accommodation, each scholar will give him another fee, a bucket of rice and a hemp blanket before leaving. We will also do our best to be kind and righteous. In this way, the scholars will not return to their hometown with emotions, and will always gain something, and you can explain it when you go home."

Pang Tong nodded, and he remembered something again and asked quickly: "There is also the admission of the aristocratic brother. Please tell the minister in detail about what points should be paid attention to."

Liu Jing considered this issue. He passed a list from the table and handed it to Pang Tong. "There are a total of forty-eight aristocratic families on the list. These forty-eight aristocratic families should have sent their brothers to refer to it. You can send someone to secretly inquire about the situation of these forty-eight children. It may be that they were sent by themselves, or the family may be sent by us. We mainly admit the family's brothers, with a maximum of forty-eight people."

"Weichen knows it"

Pang Tong took the list, looked carefully, and then carefully closed it. Then he continued: "There is also the admission. Since we have to ensure that the Shijia brother is admitted, we are also discussing the plan. If you take the exam according to the name of a missed person, it will be a bit difficult."

“This is actually simple”

Liu Jing smiled and said, "You can completely miss your name in the first college entrance examination and you can be admitted fairly. I think if these aristocratic brothers are difficult to pass the college entrance examination, there is no need to come to Xiangyang. The key is that you can add an interview and pass the interview to adjust it. This will be easier, Pang Yuancheng thought."

In fact, Pang Tong had a long time ago, and he just wanted to listen to Liu Jing's opinion first. He pondered: "If half of the second list of people were brothers from aristocratic families, this would be criticized and it would damage the reputation of the provincial governor. Wei Chen and Jiang discussed it. In fact, there was no need to interview for the second time, and it was still fair to admit them. However, these forty-eight people can be admitted separately, and there is no need to announce them. This will allow more than ten people to be admitted. This will not only ensure the needs of the provincial governor, but also take into account fairness. Does the provincial governor think it is appropriate?"

Liu Jing nodded, "This method is feasible. Please ask the Chief of the Institution to discuss with Jiang again, and let's officially announce the specific plan."

"I understand, say goodbye"

Pang Tong stood up and bowed, and was about to turn around and leave, but Liu Jing stopped him, "Shi Yuan, please stay."

Pang Tong hurriedly bowed and said, "Prince, please tell me."

Liu Jing smiled and said lightly: "After this time the public recruitment of the scholars is over, Shi Yuan will change his position and come to the General's Mansion to serve. How about it?"

Pang Tong's heart pounded. He understood Liu Jing's implication and wanted to start using him again. At this time, he had no resistance in his heart and bowed deeply, "I am willing to serve the provincial governor."

Liu Jing laughed meaningfully. This Pang Tong was indeed not a pedantic person. He bowed his fists and said, "I'll ask Mr. Pang for the exam."

.........

In the afternoon, Liu Jing returned to his mansion, and Liu Jing's mansion was also busy, with cages piled up into a small hill, and they were about to move. Unlike the General's Mansion, Liu Jing's mansion will be completely moved to Chengdu, and the empty house will be transformed into part of Jingzhou Academy. This beautiful and magnificent mansion will become a place for scholars to read.

In fact, they started to clean up a month ago. Ten days later, it was the auspicious day for moving home. Their family will also officially move to Chengdu. Another reason prompted them to move as soon as possible, that is, Tao Zhan is pregnant again, so he can only move to Chengdu early, otherwise there will be trouble in the future.

Liu Jing entered the mansion and went directly to the inner study room. This was his habit. After resting in the study for half an hour, he considered dinner. Liu Jing changed into a robe. As soon as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door. A thin child voice came from outside, "Open the door"

Liu Jing suddenly laughed, got up and opened the door, and saw his wife Tao Zhan standing at the door with her arm in her arms. She smiled and said, "Let's see what Dad is doing."

Liu Jing quickly smiled and took the one over. Liu Zhi was one year old. Although he was still unsteady in walking, he could already say a lot of words. He pointed to the bed in the corner of the house and shouted, "Go to bed and play."

Every time he came to his father's study, he liked to go to the bed to play. It was also a sleeping couch specially placed for his child. There was a soft mat on it. Liu Zhi climbed onto the bed and rolled happily. This is the nature of a child.

At this time, Tao Zhan took the teacup from the maid and walked into the study, looking at the two fathers playing on the bed happily. This was also the happiest moment for a woman, and at the same time fulfilled her wish to be a wife and a mother.

Liu Zhi’s biggest hobby is reading books, especially looking at picture scrolls. Every time he comes to his father’s study, he has to play with a set of wood carving maps. This is a map of Jingzhou made of fourteen wood carving maps. Each wood carving represents a county. In Liu Zhi’s eyes, this is the best toy.

After only playing naughtyly for a while, Liu Zhi began to sit on the wooden couch and play with a bunch of book-sized wooden carving maps. At this time, Liu Jing no longer had to accompany his son. He sat down next to him, took the teacup from his wife and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Tell me what's wrong with me?"

He knew his wife very well and usually would not come to the study to disturb him. There must be something wrong. Tao Zhan smiled embarrassedly: "This morning, Niang Pan came to me and brought a request from his father. It was about the Tao family taking the exam. I hope my husband can also regard the Tao family as a family in Jiangxia County. I know what my father meant, so I refused and asked them to take the exam honestly like other scholars. I just said to my husband."

Liu Jing pondered and said nothing. The problem was not that the Tao family wanted to rely on their relationship, but that Tao Sheng realized with the unique keenness of the merchant that he had discovered his true purpose of publicly recruiting scholars this time. He felt that Tao Sheng did not want to seek a job, but Tao Sheng's real intention was to officially position the Tao family as a family, and this exam was an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled at Tao Zhan and said, "Even if it doesn't depend on relatives, I should consider giving the Tao family some rewards from the Tao family's great contribution to Jingzhou. This exam will indeed take care of the interests of some aristocratic families, and it is not completely fair. Since the Tao family has spoken, why can't I agree?"

Tao Zhan sighed, "I mainly don't want to spoil the Tao family. I can't agree to any request he makes. If this doesn't work, it will not only harm the Tao family, but also involve me in the future."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan quickly glanced at the son who was sitting on the couch and focused on playing wood carvings. Most of the time she was considering her. Liu Jing understood her difficulties. He held Tao Zhan's hand and smiled: "This time, the Tao family is not too much. I took care of the forty-eight gentry families. If the Tao family is excluded, it is unreasonable to reason. So let the Tao family enjoy a place like other aristocratic families, and no one would say anything."

Tao Zhan nodded silently. If so, she could reluctantly agree, "Okay, then we have a word first. Only this time, the next time will not work. Moreover, my husband cannot agree to my father in my name, and can only determine its status based on the contribution of the Tao family."

"This is no problem, it's decided."

At this time, Liu Jing was also a little hungry in his stomach, and stood up and smiled, "Let's go and have dinner together."
