Deng Yi looked at him with some pity. After all, it was because Kuai Yue had no confidence in Liu Jing and finally surrendered to Cao Cao. It was impossible for him to turn back now. However, Kuai Yue represented the court after all, and as long as he stood in a good position, he would not have no chance.

Thinking of this, Deng Yi advised: "Now Liu Jing is no longer satisfied with the status of a prince. He began to establish relationships with the court. This is why his brother returned to Jingzhou from the court. I think another opportunity for his brother also exists in it. Helping Liu Jing integrate into the court and establish a good relationship with Jingzhou. This is what his brother should do, rather than focus on the internal affairs of Jingzhou."

Kuai Yue was speechless. Deng Yi's persuasion made him feel a sudden enlightenment, but at the same time, he felt an inexplicable sorrow in his heart. Such a thing actually needed Deng Yi to wake him up. Did he really lose his sense of officialdom?

Deng Yi seemed to understand his thoughts and smiled and said, "Brother, don't blame yourself. This is because the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Although I am in Nanyang and the news about Jingzhou is very sensitive. I know what Liu Jing needs now, but my brother doesn't know, otherwise why would my brother look for me?"

Kuai Yue also laughed, "My brother is right. I am really a bit stubborn. Thank you for your advice, so I won't bother you and continue to go south."

Deng Yi thought for a while and said, "Or my brother would stay with me for one night and go south with the dog tomorrow."

Deng Yi pointed to his son Deng Hong, who was standing in the yard, "He will set out to Xiangyang to participate in the recruitment of scholars tomorrow, and he can be with his brother."

Kuai Yue smiled happily and said, "This is no problem. We can take care of each other. It seems that the scale of recruiting scholars in Xiangyang this time was grand, and even the court was alarmed. Before I left, many ministers wanted me to write a letter to talk about the recruitment of scholars. I want to ask, what is going on?"

Deng Yi sighed and said, "This time I was really a big deal for Liu Jing. It was not for Jing and Yizhou, but for the world. No matter how poor or humble it is, it is only a talent. In this way, all scholars in the world yearn for Jingzhou, but in fact, this is just a concealment."

"What to hide?" Kuai Yue asked in confusion.

"The person Liu Jing really wants to use is actually the prominent families of various counties, such as the Cui family of Boling and Xun family of Yingchuan. He wants to get the support of these gentry, but he cannot do it clearly. Therefore, he uses it no matter how poor or humble it is, but it is only used to cover it up. Now is not the time to seek fairness. I believe that all the major families understand this in their hearts."

Kuai Yue nodded, "My brother is right. I heard some scholars say that no matter how poor or lowly you are, I feel a little strange. If Liu Jing wants to win the world, he must gain the support of all the great gentry in the world. At this time, he cannot be treated equally. If he really treats all the people equally, he will anger the major families and lose their support."

Deng Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Liu Jing is no longer the King of Jing in the past. How could he not understand this principle? He wants reputation and benefits. This is actually the same as his brother becoming a different leader in Jingzhou. One is to the court and the other is to the aristocratic families in the world. Openly recruiting scholars is just an excuse. In this way, all the aristocratic families in the world have the opportunity to send their younger brother to Jingzhou."

Kuai Yue couldn't help but sigh and said, "He is really getting more and more powerful. I don't know if I can adapt to him anymore..." Kuai Yue's heart was heavy, full of worries about the future.

...........

As the time for open recruitment of scholars became closer and closer, Xiangyang City became more and more lively. Nearly 100,000 scholars from all counties in the world gathered in one city. Because there was no threshold, all scholars in the world flocked to it, and the source of students was naturally of different quality.

The number of scholars coming to Xiangyang was far beyond the expectations of Jingzhou officials. Major hotels, academies and libraries were all filled with them. The Jingzhou government also mobilized urgently. The soldiers arranged for them to move into the vacant houses in Fancheng and provided subsidies for money and grain.

But not all taxis are from poor families. On the contrary, many of them are from prominent families, with wealthy families and support from their families. Even if they come to Jingzhou, they are rich and do not want to accept food and accommodation subsidies for the Jingzhou government's poor conditions. They rented their own houses and lived in Fancheng Tavern every day, and lived a free and comfortable life.

Ten thousand men gathered in Xiangyang, but the biggest gain was Fancheng's business. Fancheng faced a sharp decline in population and the Jingzhou Trade Center turned to Jiangxia and Jiangling. The arrival of the hundred thousand men undoubtedly gave Fancheng a shot of a heart-warming shot, making the shops, taverns, brothels, and hostels, which had originally had a little deserted business, suddenly became popular.

At noon, the Yunmeng Tavern in Fancheng was extremely lively. The tavern was close to the south of the city, covering an area of ​​nearly five acres, and it was high-rise and could accommodate two people to have a meal at the same time. The tavern was on the middle and low end line, with simple interior layout, high-quality dishes and low prices, which was very popular among scholars.

Although many rich brothers think that the level here is low, there is the most news here, and the rich brothers are willing to come here to eat and inquire about all kinds of news.

There were people coming and going in the tavern, and the soldiers gathered together to have a meal. The weather was bustling and the bartenders were sweating profusely, serving dishes everywhere, and their voices were hoarse.

A young man squeezed over from the sideways, "Please give me your help, please give me."

The second floor was already full, and he wanted to go up the stairs to the building. At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Brother Ruo"

When the young man turned around, he saw someone beckoning him by the window. He immediately recognized him and hurriedly pushed forward and smiled, "It turns out that Brother Zhaoyuan is here too."

"If it's alone?"

The young man nodded, and everyone immediately gave up and warmly called him to sit down and drink together. The young man was not polite and sat down.

The scholar named Zhaoyuan is named Cui Si, whose courtesy name is Zhao Yuan, and his direct descendant of the Cui family in Boling. He smiled and introduced the young scholar to everyone, "Let me introduce you to you. This is a younger brother of the Xun family in Yingchuan, with a name Zhi and a courtesy name Ruo. He was a classmate for ten years and has a high talent. He is the best among the younger generation of the Xun family."

When everyone heard that he was the younger brother of Xun, they couldn't help but be respectful. Xun You and Xun Yu were famous all over the world, making the Xun family a noble family admired all over the world. Someone sighed in a low voice: "A famous family has come, what hope do we have?"

"Brother Wang's words are wrong. Jingzhou is a talented person, no matter how high or low his or her talents are. Everyone has the chance to take the fair exam. I heard it is a fair exam."

The news made everyone excited and asked in a slight manner: "Zhaoyuan, this news is serious."

Cui Si smiled and said, "I visited Xu Changshi yesterday. He and my uncle were friends in Longzhong. For this reason, my uncle asked me to bring a letter to Xu Changshi. However, Xu Changshi clearly told me that this time, the public recruitment of scholars is very strict, and I cannot help me. I will rely on my own knowledge to take the exam. He only revealed a little information. He took the exam twice in total, one was the academy exam. Once he passed the exam, he was eligible to stay in the academy and continue his studies. The monthly subsidy was enough to support his family. The second was the official exam. Those who passed the exam could be appointed as officials directly. Xu Changshi told me personally that both exams were all a name."

At this time, there were already many people around him. Cui Si's words made people cheer around him, but Cui Si smiled and said nothing. Before leaving, his uncle told him that the open recruitment of scholars in Jingzhou was not that simple.

...........

The Jingzhou Prefecture Yamen was renamed the Military and Political Affairs Office at the beginning of the year, and in August it was renamed the General's Office again, abolishing the title of the Military and Political Affairs Office, but the Jingzhou Prefecture Yamen was still retained.

The sign was still hung, but only a dozen people were maintaining the operation of the prefecture yamen. Liu Jing still served as the governor of Jingzhou. The rest of the military and political officials were transferred to the General's Mansion, but the place did not change, and the military government office was still the original prefecture yamen.

The military government was originally scheduled to move to Chengdu, Yizhou in October, but the migration was postponed until November because Xiangyang wanted to openly recruit soldiers. Later, it was in Chengdu in winter and spring, and in summer and autumn, and in Xiangyang. Therefore, Xiangyang did not lose its political center position.

This is the same as the court owning Xu Du and Ye. In order to stabilize Hebei and Hedong seized from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao moved the capital to Yecheng, while Liu Jing set up two general palaces to stabilize Bashu. The two have the same effect.

At this time, the military palace was in chaos, and officials were busy packing their goods, although most of the things did not need to be moved to Chengdu.

But after packing up, there were still thousands of boxes of books that needed to be moved to Chengdu. These books must be shipped on the ship immediately and transported to Bashu before the wind turns to the west wind.

Under the escort of several cavalry, a carriage slowly drove into the original state yamen, which is now the Mansion of General Cavalry. It passed through the square and stopped in front of the steps. A personal guard stepped forward and opened the car door. Liu Jing bent down and walked out of the carriage.

For more than a month, he has been staying in Jingzhou and seized Bashu and Hanzhong, which was the time for the army to rest. For Liu Jing, he shifted his attention from military to government affairs, especially the upcoming public recruitment of soldiers, which is of great importance. Liu Jing also paid great attention to this talent selection exam.

After entering the military palace, he walked towards his own official room and walked into the official room. A Shu Zuo stepped forward to take off his outer robe. Liu Jing asked, "Is Pang Yuancheng here?"

"It has arrived, waiting for the summoning of the state governor"

"Please come in"

Pang Yuancheng is the chief of Jingzhou Academy. After returning to Xiangyang from Wucheng, he first rested at home for nearly a month.

As the anger disappeared, he had the idea of ​​seeking an official position in his heart. However, after experiencing twists and turns, he no longer believed in Liu Bei, nor was he optimistic about what development would happen after Liu Bei went to Jiaozhou.

He began to realize Liu Jing's bright future. His mind changed and he also hoped to find a job in Jingzhou. However, he couldn't take this side and could not speak. At this moment, his uncle Pang Degong invited him to be the chief minister of Jingzhou Academy.

Jingzhou Academy is not the Lumen Academy of Pang's family, but the official academy of Jingzhou, the official supreme palace, and the chief of the court is also the official position of Wushi. Without Liu Jing's consent, his uncle would not have been able to make this decision.

Pang Tong knew it well that he accepted the appointment half-rejectedly and half-heldly, re-entered the official position, and began his new career.

This time, Jingzhou openly recruited scholars, and the general's chief minister was jointly responsible for Jiang Wan, the general's chief priest Kuai Liang and the Jingzhou Academy Chief. Because Kuai Liang was old and in poor health, Pang Tong and Jiang Wan were in charge of the recruitment.

They also assigned more than a dozen subordinates and Yu soldiers. Despite this, they were busy from morning to night every day, and they didn't even have time to drink water. Although they were so busy that they kept walking, Pang Tong felt extremely fulfilled, especially when he and Jiang Wan were fully responsible for formulating rules, with great power and no interference from above, which made Pang Tong taste the taste of power for the first time.
