One month later, Gan Ning returned from Yizhou with a full load.

The ceramics, soap, fine salt, glass and so on brought by Ganning are very popular in Yizhou.

Ganning exchanged a lot of brown sugar, spices, grains and other items.

Well, ceramics were already available during the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they were not as famous as Tang Sancai of later generations.

But ceramics and glass have never been seen in Yizhou.

They used relatively primitive pottery, so after seeing ceramics and glass, they were immediately shocked.

Those slave owners are willing to buy them for a lot of money.

According to Ganning's report, Yizhou is now developing quite backward.

There is no concept of a country on Yizhou, only tribes.

Yizhou is still in a slave society.

After receiving Gan Ning's report, Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Yizhou is still developing too slowly, and Yizhou's compatriots are still suffering.

Lu Bu believes that it is necessary to save his compatriots in Yizhou!

The geographical location of Yizhou is very important. After obtaining Yizhou, you can control the sea routes calmly.

Moreover, Yizhou has fertile land and vigorously developing agriculture in Yizhou can turn Yizhou into a food supply base.

Finally, Lu Bu was about to send Chen Gong to Yizhou to preside over the overall situation.

In fact, there were many people who could send Lu Bu, but in the end Lu Bu still sent Chen Gong over.

Chen Gong's ability is undoubtedly, but among the Lu Bu group, Chen Gong is a latecomer after all.

However, Lu Bu had a special feeling for Chen Gong, perhaps because of his feelings of indebtedness to Chen Gong in the original historical trajectory.

Therefore, in this life, Lu Bu decided to make up for success.

...

Lu Bu called Chen Gong and carefully advised Chen Gong.

This time I went to Yizhou, the first thing I did was to unify Yizhou and turn Yizhou into a county in Jiangdong, Yizhou County.

Second, abolish slavery. Chen Gong was appointed as Yizhou and was appointed as the first county magistrate. As for the appointment of officials below, Lu Bu left all of them to Chen Gong for his own arrangements.

Third, vigorously develop agriculture in Yizhou, and the talents needed here will be selected by Chen Gong.

Fourth, open academies in Yizhou to promote education.

Fifth, vigorously develop naval forces in Yizhou.

This time, Lu Bu gave Chen Gong absolute trust and delegated most of his rights to Chen Gong.

Now Chen Gong can be said to be a magistrate of the border.

Chen Gong, in the face of Lu Bu's heavy trust as heavy as a mountain, was not only joy, but also a sense of responsibility.

Since the lord trusts me so much, I will do my best to fulfill my lord's instructions.

I will definitely not let my lord down on my expectations!

A month later, Chen Gong led the general Ling Tong and 30,000 troops to head towards Yizhou by boat.

Ling Tong is a general who has just defected to Lu Bu recently.

In the original historical trajectory, Ling Tong and Gan Ning were both two tiger generals from the Eastern Wu.

Ling Tong can be considered first-class in terms of courage and military ability.

This time, the reason why Lu Bu equipped the new Ling Tong to Chen Gong without other famous generals was because he was afraid that Chen Gong would not be able to control it.

Not to mention anything else, if Guan Yu was given to Chen Gong, would Guan Yu obey Chen Gong's command?

If the chief official and the general are incompatible, it will be detrimental to Lu Bu's layout in Yizhou.

But Ling Tong is different. He has just joined him and has the ability, but his strength is enough.

At this time, he will be sent to explore overseas battlefields, and the main reason is that he will succeed and you will get rich rewards immediately.

The speed of ascension is almost the same as the speed of riding on a rocket.

Faced with such a great opportunity, how could Ling Tong not do his best?

And Lu Bu told Ling Tong that it was Chen Gong who called him as the general.

Ling Tong was grateful to Chen Gong, so he was no longer a problem.

...

Next, Jiaozhou needs to develop.

Jiaozhou has no military strength, so it was easily captured by Lu Bu. However, after the acquisition, how to develop Jiaozhou has become a difficult problem.

Because Jiaozhou is very barren, most areas are steep and ridges, and the transportation is inconvenient.

Not to mention the conditions at that time, even in modern times nearly two thousand years later, many mountainous areas in Guangxi were still seriously blocked.

Therefore, Lu Bu prepared to move some residents in Guangxi to Taiwan and Jiangdong counties.

Taiwan is now seriously underpour, and so are the four counties in Jiangdong.

As long as the people of Jiaozhou are willing to migrate, Lu Bu will give a lot of subsidies in terms of policies.

As for those who were unwilling to leave their hometowns, Lu Bu made them as livable as possible to settle down in a flat place.

For these people, Lu Bu could only provide as convenient as possible, and there was no good way.

...

A month later, there is a big event that can cause a sensation in Jiangdong, and a big event that can be recorded in the history of Jiangdong is about to begin.

That is the first realm imperial examination in Jiangdong!

This imperial examination is of great significance, and Lu Bu attaches great importance to this imperial examination.

It started publicity a year ago, and a year later, Lu Bu conducted a pre-select in various prefectures and counties.

Because this is a way for Lu Bu to open up a path for poor children to become officials, and the imperial examinations must be held, and the influence of the poor families can be imagined.

There are as many as tens of thousands of students enrolled this time.

Well, well, in fact, the four counties in Jiangdong, even Jiaozhou and Yizhou, are all combined, and there are probably not so many scholars.

Among these tens of thousands of people, Lu Bu estimated that more than half of them were just making up for the numbers.

Among them, Lu Bu is probably sure that there are some people who don’t even know the big word.

In response to this situation, Lu Bu ordered his subordinates to conduct layer-by-layer screening.

First of all, those over twenty-five years old should just brush it.

Some people may question that in the ancient imperial examinations, most of the people who were able to pass the imperial examinations were older.

Will you miss a lot of talents by limiting your age to twenty-five years old?

Of course the answer is no!

Because the age is limited to twenty-five years old, the total number of people in the imperial examinations is smaller, and the number of talents selected is not large, so the admission rate has greatly increased.

If you can't stand out among your peers, it proves that you are not suitable for the imperial examination. After you are twenty-five, you should do whatever you should do!

Of course, this method will definitely miss some talents.

But there is no ghost in that temple that died?

If you want a talent, you will lose something, but you can't do anything.

Apart from age, it is pre-select.

Pre-select is considered a basic exam.

By pre-selecting students, you can get the title of scholar and take the official exam later.

This time, 99% of the students were stripped of the pre-select, and in the end only one hundred people successfully won the title of scholar and advanced to the next exam.

Once these people become scholars, they will have the opportunity to enter the government and start directly from the lower-level officials.

In other words, as long as you become a scholar, you have the opportunity to become a civil servant.

This made countless scholars and the people envious.

More than 90% of these hundred scholars came from Shanghai University.

Every one is a top student in Shanghai University.
