Chang'an, full of voices.
The annual examination is imminent, and thousands of scholars from all over the world flock to this imperial capital to pursue their dreams and ambitions and those of their families.
However, there was an unexpected situation in this year's examination.
In terms of numbers, the southern scholars showed an overwhelming advantage.
There were very few scholars from the northern region who came to refer to it.
Especially in the vast Yanzhao Daibei area, the total number of scholars who signed up was less than fifty.
All the sons and hundreds of schools of thought looked sideways and were shocked.
You must know that Yan Zhao Daibei, since the Yuande examination, has always been one of the places with the largest source of scholars. and Qi Lu and Liang Zhou, tied among the top three.
But now, the young people of Yanzhao Daibei are difficult to find in the entire Chang'an.
The heroic men who once loved to sing about wine, were impassioned, and wore swords and bows, all disappeared.
There are not many people in Taixue.
"The style of writing is chaotic, it is really a shame of my generation" Some Confucian scholars hung their heads and sighed, but they quietly envied in their hearts.
Anyone knows where these disappeared young people have gone The answer is the military Since the Xiongnu entered the army, a large number of young people threw away the poetry books in their hands, picked up swords, rode war horses, and ran home to enlist in the army.
There are even students of the Ram faction, who raised their arms on the streets of Chang'an and shouted: "Today, Yidi is being coarse, Sangzi is in a hurry, and you still have the heart to study."
Immediately, in just half a day, this guy pulled up a cavalry of 300 people, and then went back to his hometown to defend against foreign aggression.
As for the examination Who does not know, when today Zi Xi Takeo.
Therefore, everything is inferior, only Wu Xun is high There are nursery rhymes among the people: the army has its own golden house, and the army has its own Yan Ruyu Sima Xiangru, a world-famous poet and the number one advocate of today's son, also shamelessly wrote poems to praise the young literati who served in the army, saying that the husband only held Wu Hook in his hand, and his spirit was higher than Baizhang Mountain, who wrote history for 10,000 years, and looked for a marquis three thousand miles away This new genre of poetry has made many people scold, saying that he has corrupted the style of writing, and his heart can be punished.
But in fact, he hated the mentality of Sima Xiangru advocating that the martial nobles and civility were light, and the literati were placed under the martial arts.
What 10,000 years who wrote history Isn't this just using words to tell the people of the world to write history, they have always been martial artists, literati or something, at most they are recorders And the words of looking for a marquis three thousand miles away are even more naked to lure and bewitch young people to join the army However, neither the academic community nor the scholarly bureaucratic class can do anything about the current situation.
The reality of this country is that the ruling class that holds power is all military ministers Among the three princes and nine secretaries of the dynasty, except for Chao Cuo, Ting Weiqing and Shaofuqing, almost everyone has military experience And the people who control and implement the policy are also half military ministers.
Whether it is the middle and upper class bureaucrats, or the grassroots pavilion chiefs, lizheng, and you, there are many veterans and officers.
Since the Son of Heaven was given priority to retired and disabled soldiers as pavilion chiefs and lizheng, almost all the administrative forces of the village pavilions at the grassroots level of the Han family were controlled by the army.
Subsequently, according to this policy, the supplementary policy of retiring officers from the army has made the strength of the army firmly rooted in the local grassroots level.
In today's world, the composition of the bureaucratic class has shifted to be dominated by examiners and veterans.
The old scholarly class and the power of the local tyrants are fading.
In this situation, the scholars and intellectuals who were once high in the sky really felt helplessness and powerlessness.
Especially those literati who rely purely on reading, and whose limbs are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains, feel a great crisis.
Young people, prefer to join the army Enlisting in the army is the first choice for the best talents in the Han family, followed by studying and becoming an official.
This time, the young scholars of Yan Zhao Daibei simply voted with their feet and told the older generation of literati and doctors that if there is a choice, we will definitely become soldiers How good it is to be a soldier Like the examination, it is also based on ability to earn status, power and wealth.
And unlike the examination, there is much less competition in the army Because, the poor are rich and martial.
Nowadays, even if he is a mud-legged man, a tenant farmer, or even a slave, as long as he has perseverance and perseverance, as well as chance, he can worship a famous teacher.
In previous examinations, there are often a few typical examples that climb out of the bottom.
And the army is different.
You want to enlist Physical fitness must be passed.
The minimum height requirement is 7 feet 3 inches, the weight must not be less than 225 Han catties, and the arm span must not be less than 7 feet.
This alone can wipe out a lot of competitors.
Then there's the family background and background.
Joining the army naturally meets the conditions, and everyone can do it.
But the problem is that being a big soldier obviously has no future, and only officers can get ahead.
And, at least, you have to start with the team rate.
And it is impossible for a mud leg to be a team leader as soon as he enlists in the army.
Only those who have a strong family, sufficient background, have a family of soldiers, can bring soldiers to vote, and have connections and connections, can have the opportunity to start from the team rate.
Especially now that the state has tightened the appointment of middle and junior officers.
Even in wartime, it is quite difficult to get an appointment above the team rate as soon as you enlist in the army.
As for in normal times, it is simply not possible The officers in the army, especially the officers in the main army, any one who takes it out and puts it outside, is a very good talent Last winter, Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei recruited officers.

Originally, there were only 50 people, but more than 3,000 people signed up The entire Shanglin Garden was crowded with people, crowded, and the scene was more intense than the examination This shows what is going on in the minds of young people today However, this is also normal.
This is China You don't need to look at other times, just look at the changes in the decades after the establishment of the Celestial Empire, and you will know that as long as the guidance is right, the preferences of the Chinese can actually change.
Therefore, Liu Che also ignored the wails of many literati and doctors.
"Your Majesty, this is the first paper of this year's examination" Ji Di held a brand-new test paper and presented it to Liu Che: "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty" Liu Che took the paper and looked at it, then frowned slightly, and asked, "Why is this year's topic more difficult than in previous years?"
"This is the opinion of Taichang and Zongzheng" Ji Di waited carefully, and said with a smile: "There has also been a discussion in the market, saying: The examination, the great ceremony of the country, for the national canon, should be more difficult, so as to facilitate the selection of more talents to assist Your Majesty" "Besides, over the years, I have been taking the examination for scholars, and I am too often worried that there may be no place to place them."
"Oh" Liu Che took the roll and sneered.
These scholars really don't remember to eat "Talent is practiced and sharpened" Liu Che crumpled the scroll into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said: "Guan Yiwu, it's not that he was a great sage from the beginning, Kong Zhongni, and he didn't know Zhou Li by birth."
"This year's volume, too often don't be responsible, just take someone to do it," Liu Che instructed lightly.
Ji Di listened to it with sweat and trembling.
He knew that the Son of Heaven was already angry, and he was afraid that he would be too often to eat and fall.
Liu Che walked to the wall, looked at the huge map, and sneered: "As for the placement" "The world is so big, are you afraid that there is no place to place?"
Today's Han Empire alone already has sixty-nine counties, three vassal states, and a vast territory of thousands of miles.
In the future, it is even more likely to cross two oceans, with a territory of 100,000 miles.
With thousands of officials every year, in the past, Liu Che would still have a headache.
But not anymore.
As long as this battle is won, the Han Empire will completely break free from the shackles of the Huns.
Since then, the sea and the sky have been open to the birds.
Not to mention, the military minister lost this battle, and he was willing to give up in the Munan area, and he had to give up if he was not reluctant History will advance by nearly forty years, making the Makunan No Royal Court a reality.
Although the area is not suitable for farming, the rich pastures and vast grasslands are enough to develop dozens of settlements like Loufu.
And to turn this plan into reality, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as a large number of young technocrats to guide and supervise.
Not to mention the future Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, as well as the vast Indian subcontinent.
There are thousands of officials in need Of course, the premise is that the Han army can win this will most likely be the last battle that will take place on the territory of the Great Wall Thinking of this, Liu Che asked: "Is there any news from the front line?"
"Back to Your Majesty, for the time being," Ji Di said, "There are only three days ago here, the report sent back by the general of the chariot cavalry after he arrived in Shanggu County, and the urgent report sent back by Li Guang, the governor of Yuyang County, and Bo Shi, the governor of Andong."
"Send someone to urge," Liu Che commanded with his eyes closed.
The speed of Yizong is already very fast.
He arrived in Upper Valley several days early.
However, Yuyang's tightness also made him a little nervous.
After all, on the Yuyang side, except for the guards and some of the sailors of the building boat, the rest are all county soldiers.
The county soldier means that the training, equipment, and combat effectiveness are all inferior to the field troops.
After all, the county soldiers were only responsible for maintaining local order and defense, and they did not have any field capabilities.
Whether or not they can hold the line of defense is undoubtedly a test for Li Guanghe and Bo Shi As for the guards and the sailors Liu Che didn't expect them to perform miracles very much, after all, both of them were swallow thistles that traveled thousands of miles and rushed to help.
It is the soldiers of later generations, even if they land on an amphibious landing ship, after landing, they will be uncomfortable.
As for the current situation of the boats, the road has been bumpy, and Liu Che estimates that the combat effectiveness of the Protector Army can only be less than three percent left.
If you want to return to its heyday, it needs to be repaired for at least half a month.
Yes, Liu Che is really worried about the safety of Yuyang and Youbeiping.
As for Kamiya, he is confident.
I don't know how to do it in the last two days, my nose is uncomfortable when the cold wind blows, and then my eyes hurt, dizziness and nausea, and numbness t1706231537:
