Chapter 141 Thorn

After seeing the military appearance and military discipline of the Xing Tianjun, these scholars who came to take the exam also felt more and more confident. Although the vast majority of them do not know soldiers, as long as they have two eyes, they can see that the soldiers and horses of Xing Tianjun are absolutely elite soldiers. Compared with the officers and soldiers they have seen, which is stronger and which is weaker. It is still clear, and they are not blind. When they pass through the control area of the Xingtian Army along the way, they also see that the situation is very calm within most of the control areas of the Xingtian Army. A large number of farmers began to cultivate in the fields, and there are patrolling soldiers and horses everywhere to maintain local security. Compared with the previous Xingtian Army, At this point, the control area of Xing Tianjun can be said to be quite stable, and those scholars from outside the control area of Xing Tianjun can clearly feel the difference here.

Although Xing Tianjun was scolded as a thief by the court, his performance was very formal. He rarely heard that the soldiers of Xing Tianjun would disturb the people. The people and horses of the Xing Tianjun in various places are very well-ruly and get along well with the people. The people are not like before. When they see the soldiers and horses, no matter who they are, they will immediately flee. The more you see the officers and soldiers, the faster you run. On the contrary, in the jurisdiction of the Xing Tianjun, such a situation often occurs. Once the patrollings of the Xing Tianjun appear, they can always attract the cheers of the people. The busy people in the field often straighten up and wave their hands from afar to the Xing Tianjun who appear on the road. The people are not afraid of them and welcome them, which shows that Xing Tianjun is quite popular.

In these aspects, compared with the criminal army and the officers and soldiers, the reputation of the officers and soldiers everywhere is far worse! Who has never heard of the saying that bandits are like combing and soldiers are like shaving! Most of the time, officers and soldiers harm the common people, which is more cruel than bandits. It is common for people everywhere to avoid it like snakes and scorpions. The people do not like officers and soldiers. If the officers and soldiers want to win the Xing Tianjun, they basically have little hope.

After looking at these situations, the scholars who came to take the exam became more and more at ease, so they began to calm down and read books in the house assigned to them. It's not easy to grind the gun! After all, Xing Tianjun took a course for the first time, and no one knew what kind of test questions they would come up with.

However, in December, the scholars also got the news that the main person in this test was not the official of the Xing Tianjun, but the old official of the previous court, Lv Weiqi, the minister of the Nanjing Military Department in the early years.

When Lv Weiqi broke through Luoyang City, Lv Weiqi happened to go home to rest. When Xing Tianjun attacked Luoyang City, he once accompanied the officials in the city to defend Luoyang. After the city was broken, he was captured by the Xing Tianjun. Xiao Tianjian was kind to Lv Weiqi in front of a relatively clean official and did not kill him. Instead, he and his family placed him and his family properly, and Lv Weiqi hated Xing Tianjun and Xiao Tianjian at first. After the city was broken, he wanted to die to repay the court's kindness to him, but his family looked closely and did not die several times, and gradually he no longer wanted to die.

But he also refused to agree to come back to work for Xiao Tianjian. He stayed at home all day to read, study and draw, which was also very leisurely. However, after a long time, he couldn't stand it. He began to occasionally go out for a walk and go out of the city for a walk. Although he was under editor's supervision, Xiao Tianjian ordered that as long as he didn't run, he didn't It's good to restrict his movement and let him just walk around.

As Lv Weiqi went out and looked around, what he saw was that the people around Luoyang soon began to settle down under the governance of the Xing Tianjun. The land of King Fu was basically allocated to the people who lost their land. They re-cultivated and began to recover everywhere. There is a scene of prosperity, and the generals of the Xingtian Army are also disciplined. They are not like ordinary bandits at all to harm the people. The officials are also very honest and capable. They treat the people very well. The lives of the people can be said to be getting better and better under the governance of the Xing Tian Army, and the local bandits are also under the attack of the Xing Tian Army. It has been silenced, and many places can even be said to be closed at night. Even the merchants in Luoyang City have gradually increased and become prosperous again. There is an endless stream of merchant ships on the Yellow River wharf, carrying goods in or out, if they have not experienced the destruction of Luoyang City. In that scene, Lv Weiqi could hardly believe his eyes, so after returning to the house, he sighed and sighed, "I'm afraid the world is really going to change!" If Xiao Xingtian goes on like this, he will win the hearts of the people all over the world. Daming... It's over!"

After that, with the acquiescence of Lv Weiqi, his two sons later joined the Xing Tianjun, became civil officials of the Xing Tianjun, and were reused by Xiao Tianjian. One was put to work in Guide Mansion, and the other was put to work in Nanyang Mansion. They were not small officials. At this time, Lv Weiqi had nothing to say, although On the grounds of age, he still refused to serve as an official under the jurisdiction of Xing Tianjun, but his hostility to Xing Tianjun began to subside.

This time, Xiao Tianjian wants to open a science and scholar in Wuchang Prefecture. Because Li Jinde's reputation is not good and he is afraid that he can't control it, so in the selection of the main examiner, Xiao Tianjian finally thought of Lv Weiqi, so he sent someone to Luoyang Prefecture to ask Lv Weiqi to come out of the mountain to take a scholar this time.

After Lv Weiqi learned the news, he first refused, but He Nai's two sons went to lobby him in person. Finally, considering the future career of the two sons, he had no choice but to agree. He packed up in Luoyang. Accompanied by a son, Luoyang's Niu Jinxing equipped him with a guard and several The big car escorted him towards Wuchang.

After arriving in Xiangyang, he took a boat from Hanshui to Wuchang. Along the way, he saw a lot of territory controlled by the Xingtian Army and saw the once dilapidated Henan. Now under the control of the Xingtian Army, not only the population has been recovered in large number, but also all kinds of people's livelihoods have begun to recover significantly, although God is not beautiful. From time to time, there will still be severe droughts, but under the leadership of the civil officials of the Xingtian Army in various places, people from all over the country have been organized to dig ditches to dredge rivers, build water trucks, etc., and introduce river water into the fields for irrigation. There is no harvest in the fields of the people as in Henan during the previous drought.

Especially in the past few years, after the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes in the jurisdiction compared with the high-yielding sweet potatoes of other crops, the yield per mu of grain in farmland has been greatly improved compared with the past. Although some people are not used to sweet potatoes, they can feed people and make people full. At this time, they can eat enough. It is already a great luxury for the people. What else can they pursue? In this way, it has greatly made up for the lack of grain production in Henan, so that in the year of drought, there is no large-scale famine in Henan. It is indeed valuable for Xing Tianjun to be able to do this. When Lv Weiqi went south to Wuchang, he nodded repeatedly and became more and more determined that the Zhu family in the world was afraid. I really can't sit still!

The second minister? The minister is the minister! His old bones can do something more for the people of the world. At this time, Lv Weiqi has not thought so much. Anyway, his family has become a Shunmin under the rule of Xiao Tianjian. The court obviously can't turn over, so Lv Weiqi, an old man, came to Wuchang City and became the criminal army this time. The examiner of a scientific examination.

Lv Weiqi was able to become the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department at that time, which showed that he was a very capable person, and he was quite famous in his early years. With him coming forward to preside over this scientific examination, the scholars were much more convinced, and no one underestimated the ability of Xing Tianjun. Thinking that the secretary of Nanjing Military Department as big as Daming turned to punishment. Tianjun is doing things, but they are still afraid of nothing! Do it!

Xiao Tianjian also devoted a lot of effort to this time. When Lv Weiqi arrived, he personally went to the dock to meet him and placed it in the former government office of Wuchang Prefecture. It can be said that he had great respect for Lv Weiqi. When the two met again, they couldn't help sighing. At this time, Lv Weiqi didn't insist on anything. He knelt down and saluted Xiao Tianjian on the dock, and let Xiao Tianjian help him up in a hurry. He even said that he didn't dare to do it. He personally helped him send him in a sedan chair and rode to accompany him into the city.

As soon as Lv Weiqi arrived in Wuchang City, he immediately put himself into the preparation, talked with Li Jinde behind closed doors for a whole day, and finally decided on the exam with the participation of Xiao Tianjian.

In order to appease these scholars, Xiao Tianjian went to their residence to visit these scholars several times, which made them very shocked. At the same time, they felt flattered. They never thought that Xiao Xingtian was still so approachable, and his appearance was so good, and he would be busy. When they came to visit them, they were grateful and thanked them around Xiao Tianjian. They scared the guards of Tietou. You know, the soldiers gathered here are all from all over the world. Who knows if there will be killer assassins sent by the court among them? Xiao Tianjian walked to them so carelessly. Once someone took the opportunity to make trouble, it would be too late for them to rescue, so they surrounded Xiao Tian's fitness like a big enemy, for fear that something would happen.

But the more he was afraid of something, the more he was. Sure enough, when Xiao Tianjian visited a house where the scholar was placed, he was chatting with a group of examinees. When he preached his ideas and ideas to the scholars, he attracted bursts of cheers. Xiao Tianjian not only emphasized his concept of governing the country, He also focused on the things about Jiannu, saying that once he gets the world one day, he will completely eliminate the Jiannu outside Guan, recover Liaodong and even the whole of Mongolia, and take it into the hands of the Han people. From then on, he will never have foreign troubles and never let the Han nation be invaded by foreign exiles.

Hearing this, the scholars were even more excited and praised each other, but at this time, suddenly a person rushed out of the crowd of scholars. The ordinary scholar dressed up and looked weak. No one expected that he would be an assassin, and he was extremely agile and held it in his hand. A sharp blade with blue light and a little green, with a crazy look flashing in his eyes, he rushed straight to Xiao Tianjian. With a knife in his hand, lightning stabbed Xiao Tianjian's throat... There was an exclamation around him.
