Xu Shiying became even more speechless. If he hadn't known that Zhang Xing only did a lot of shopping these days, and usually went to the military camp and the large platform in front of the palace, he might have thought that Zhang Xing was just having fun every night!

Even if I go shopping a lot, I now know that I still pay more attention to prices and people’s hearts.

As soon as he thought about this, he put aside his distracting thoughts and asked seriously: "There are a few more things that I don't want to disturb the chief and manager Cui just now."

"you say."

"First of all, it is the selection after the scientific examination... that is, the scientific examination is based on the rules set by the chief, with names anonymized, transcribed, and blindly approved. However, the actual power and responsibility for the final appointment still lies with the head of each department and the person in charge. What if there is a fight?

?What if someone passes the exam but no one hires him?"

"If there is competition, let them choose. If there is no appointment, it doesn't matter if they are placed in the Clerical Department, Wang Yi (Staff) Department, or sent to other places." Zhang Xing also frowned. "But I know yours.

Meaning...you want to ask whether there should be a staff department specifically responsible for managing the whereabouts of middle- and lower-level personnel?"

"That's what it means." Xu Shiying said. "In the past, our personnel management was essentially about military merit. In fact, it was the King of Heaven and his subordinates who made up the staff. Now we can't leave the scientific examination personnel who specialize in grammar and law to the King of Heaven, right?

"

Zhang Xing nodded.

Besides, regardless of the smoothness of the discussion between these two people, in fact they both deliberately ignored a hidden issue, which is why there is a template for the scientific examination in the Wei Dynasty, and it will be implemented almost two months after Zhang Xing proposed it.

Isn't it strange that the topic of adding a staff bureau has been discussed since the establishment of Daxingtai? However, when it came to the specific matter of the scientific examination, no one mentioned it.

?

Of course, it is not surprising, because Daxingtai is covetous of this appointment power, and they also want to imitate the Nanya Prime Ministers of Wei Dynasty and take away all personnel appointment rights. However, Zhang Shizhao and Wei Xuanding, who are actually responsible for this matter, have never offended others or fought for power.

necessary.

But now Xu Shiying suddenly asked about this matter, which means that he stabbed Chen Bin in the back.

Of course, according to Chief Zhang's understanding of Xu Dalang, this is Xu Dalang's real brother.

"It's the right setting, then who do you think is suitable?" In the dusk, Zhang Xing thought for a moment and asked lightly after nodding.

"It depends on the decision of the chief." Xu Shiying reminded. "It's just that there is no need to get together with the entire army, entire gang, and all local practitioners who have been registered by leader Yan Qing in the past two months... The two are not the same approach."

Zhang Xing nodded, thought for a moment, and had no idea for a moment, so he said: "Of course it can happen, but you don't have to be too anxious. It must be the first scientific examination. What else is there?"

"One more thing. According to the proposal passed by Manager Chen before, a leader should be promoted from the middle-level helmsman to the middle-level leader at the end of the year to follow the example, so I would like to recommend someone to the chief." Xu Shiying became more serious.

"who?"

"The leader of my bodyguard, like Han Erlang, has no serious name, and his surname is also weird. He is called Ximen Dalang. He is not from my family, but he sells cooking cakes in Baima. On that day, Baima performed a righteous act, and he carried the cooking cakes.

The burden has followed me, and I have experienced almost all the wars in these years, and I have become increasingly sophisticated." Xu Shiying recommended his private person without hesitation. "But the biggest advantage of this person is that he is honest and simple, and never shy away from anything, even though he is a common man.

, but his ambition cannot be taken away from him. I admire him very much... Although I have a father, two younger brothers, and two older sisters, if I really need to entrust him with any big things, I will only entrust him to him."

"Sounds like a good candidate." Zhang Xing nodded. "I admit it, but I suggest you write a formal document before the meeting and ask Manager Chen to forward it to me."

"yes."

"Is there any more?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

Xu Dalang hesitated for a moment.

"Do you have any other views on the use of troops?" Zhang Xing suddenly came to ask. "I've seen you hesitate before."

"Yes." Xu Shiying finally admitted. "But it's not that we attacked Hebei one month earlier or one month later. It's that I always thought we shouldn't attack Beidi..."

Zhang Xing was finally stunned: "I see... you think the gains outweigh the losses?"

"That's almost the meaning." Xu Dalang said sincerely. "The Northland is vast and sparsely populated. It is similar in area to Hebei, but its population is less than half of Hebei. And half of them are people from the Demon Guards, and half of them are under the feudal system. Many people are there.

It has been passed down for more than ten generations... I don't doubt that we can't defeat it, but I am afraid that we will plunge into it, waste time, and delay the attack on Dongdu with Bai Hengqiu."

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Then what do you think should be done about the Northland?"

"Fight Youzhou, control Thudao Ridge, capture the two cities to the north of Thudao Ridge, then make good friends with the Dangmo Guards, let them make trouble on their own, and then turn around and attack Dongdu." Xu Dalang spoke sincerely.

"Dongdu is not that easy to fight." Zhang Xing replied quietly.

"But we have to fight. Between us and Bai Hengqiu, whoever wins Dongdu will have a seven-point advantage... Otherwise, how can we compete with Great Britain? We hope to invade Jin from Hebei?" Xu Shiying became more sincere. "This

It’s too difficult…and even if we capture the land of Jin, we have to fight for the eastern capital, so that we can safely enter Guanzhong!”

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the other person's hand, and then talked about another topic: "Dalang, I know that you came here this time not to protect those Henan leaders, but to have some thoughts in your heart."

The overall situation, deliberately led them to collide with me, and let them know the pros and cons... I also know that since we escaped the Zhangshui encirclement together, life and death, at the beginning of this year, you have been working wholeheartedly to help the overall situation. "

"Only when you really do something do you realize what difficulty is." Xu Shiying sighed slightly, but did not deny it. "In the past, these things could be ignored."

"But don't worry." Zhang Xing held the other person's hand, facing the cold winter wind coming from the side, and calmly comforted him. "I will never let you go through hardship alone. I have also made up my mind here. The so-called can't be chaotic.

In my heart, nothing can take away my will... Especially now, when I see the most critical moment, I will not relax."

At this point, Zhang Xing paused and continued: "I slowed down a little this time. Some people said that I was afraid that some brothers would not be able to keep up. Some people said that I simply misjudged the situation. In fact, there is some truth in it. But

In fact, I also know that this is the most critical time of the matter. I am afraid that the gang will fall together with me, and I will feel guilty... I want to see with my own eyes that the whole gang has been integrated, and I don’t want to take any risks. Because

After this break, we will not only conquer Hebei, but also unify the world in one fell swoop, and conquering the North is both an indispensable and critical step in unifying the world."

Xu Shiying's heart moved slightly. Before she could speak, Zhang Xing continued: "I have a specific statement about this matter. No one has mentioned it. I will tell you alone today. Just keep it in your mind."

At this point, Zhang Xing lowered his voice slightly and spoke.

After hearing this, Xu Dalang pondered for a long time, but was actually convinced on the spot: "If the chief has this plan, I will naturally support taking the entire Northland. Chief, don't worry."

Zhang Xing nodded and helped the other person stand up: "Just keep this in mind, I'll take you down."

After saying that, the two of them walked downstairs together arm in arm, and didn't let go until they reached the door.

Watching the other party leave, Zhang Xing sighed in his heart. When he turned around, he saw Bai Yousi standing in the yard with his arms in his arms, and he was also wearing a brand new red cloth. He was inevitably startled: "Why are you silent?

"

"You can hear clearly only if you are silent." Bai Yousi let go of his hand and took the initiative to come up to him and imitate Zhang Xing, holding people's hands before him, with a joking expression on his face. "Chief Zhang, can I imitate Xu Dalang in recommending someone for the responsibilities of the official department?"

"Who?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but be curious. "Did you find a sage among the practitioners that Yan Qing reported to you?"

"After such a quarrel for so long, which practitioner can hide under the sword?" Bai Yousi said disapprovingly. "It's just some newly returned ministers of the Wei Dynasty who have returned home... But the personnel department is such a key point.

In this place, how can we let the newcomers do it?"

"Then who do you recommend?"

"How about Qian Tang?" Bai Yousi asked seriously. "With his talent, just leading the troops is a bit overqualified... Isn't it appropriate for the officials to be in charge?"

Zhang Xing thought about it for a while, but he was also moved: "Indeed."

However, he immediately laughed again: "Why, does Mr. Bai also want to build his own mountain?"

Bai Yousi didn't panic at all: "I stand here on my own, but I can't reach the top of the mountain. Why won't others come over?"

Zhang Xing could only be convinced, and then he was led by the other party to have dinner.

The red-headed rope turmoil came and went as quickly as it came. Five or six days later, as the gang's first formal scientific examination began, all the eyes of Yecheng were turned... There were not many people, four to five hundred people came.

That's all. Even half of the old Wei officials who returned home were on the sidelines, and something went wrong. Previously, according to Zhang Xing's request, the exams were divided into subjects. In the end, most people chose strategy, and a few chose strategy.

There are basically only a few people selected for military strategy, criminal cases, official documents, and forms, which is also frustrating.

And in the next few days, names were blurred, transcribed, and blindly reviewed. After a lot of discussion, an extremely broad number of admissions of 300 was decided. When I opened the names, I was shocked to find that almost 200 people were old Wei officials who had returned home.

A small number of them are middle- and lower-level officials in the military and local areas who are allowed to apply, and they are basically old officials of the Wei Dynasty. Only a handful of them are young newcomers.

Of course, this is completely understandable. The gang had only been in existence for four or five years, and it had only been half a year since Cao Che's death in the Wei Dynasty.

Aren't people like Zhang Xing also old officials of the Wei Dynasty?

All I can say is that there is a long way to go.

"The first place is Xiao Yu?" Zhang Xing, who took the initiative to change into a new military uniform, that is, the red cloth military uniform, looked at the list and asked. "Who is the younger brother of the Queen Mother?"

"Yes." Chen Bin was slightly excited. He actually changed into a red suit. In fact, in the entire Yecheng palace, as Chief Zhang changed his clothes a few days ago, there was no one who did not wear this new military uniform. He could only

He said it was a good thing that they still had whale tiles hanging on them. "He was also considered the deputy prime minister in the previous dynasty... considered the internal minister?"

"Yes, Lord Attendant, I am with Mr. Feng." Zhang Xing answered immediately, and then quickly scanned the list. "But are there any in the top ten who have never served as officials?"

"There is one." Wei Xuanding stretched out his hand to point. "The fifth one is named Xu Jingzu. He is a young man of more than 20, who is proficient in grammar and law. He is the one who advocates in the policy theory that the gang should take the world as its own mission. The Bai family, the Sima family,

The Xiao family is the dregs of the past."

Zhang Xing was stunned and looked at Zhang Shizhao who remained silent.

Zhang Shizhao raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a half-smile: "This is the son of Xu Shanxing, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites. He participated in the Wei Science and Technology Examination in his early years and was already selected as a scholar. He was the youngest scholar, but he did not become an official.

Serving his father, Jiangdu's army rebelled, and his father was killed by the rebels..."

Well, he is still a talent trained by Da Wei.

After Zhang Xing suddenly understood, he also calmed down, raised his head, played the list and said boldly: "No matter what, the heroes of the world are considered to be among our friends!"

Several people were speechless, what does this mean? But they all came to agree. Even Xie Minghe just curled his lips and did not openly retaliate.

Indeed, Zhang Xing also noticed that there is currently no one who plays the role of admonition... Anyway, Wei Xuanding is a helper in this world, and he can't spare his body to be an admonisher.

Perhaps a few of the new Wei officials would be interested in this, but besides Feng Chang and Yu Changnan, haven't they all yet settled into a dormitory in this palace?

"This is Xu Jingzu. I'll name him and write a confidential document for Xu Dalang. Is it possible?" I thought about it for a moment, but Chief Zhang quickly asked the question before everyone could continue to echo.
To be continued...
