No questions are required for engineering exams. As long as there is a demonstrable invention and creation, you can participate. These inventions. It can be civil or military. It can be a real thing that has already been produced. It can also stay at the design stage. There are also some remedies for treating diseases.
This system was implemented in engineering examinations last year. But the effect is not very good. Almost no decent invention has been received. The Han people of this era are undoubtedly the best people in the world. There are many great inventions in the folk. But many people regard their inventions as treasures. Not willing to show others easily. In order to attract more people and better works to participate in engineering examinations. Liu Xin proposed the concept of patents. Every invention or secret recipe that passed the exam. Not only is it possible to get rich rewards. In the future, it can still be protected by the government. If anyone else wants to use or imitate this invention. All must pay the corresponding price.
Liu Xin believes. With these measures. This year’s engineering examination will definitely be much more successful than last year. It doesn't matter what exam questions are drawn up.
As for the martial arts exam. No special test questions are required. Even the military students who take the exam are familiar with the military strategy. If you haven't participated in actual combat, you can only talk on paper. Therefore, the martial arts examination is purely a test of bow and horse, and a contest of martial arts. Think of it this way. Liu Xin understood. What Cai Yong wanted was naturally the questions for the liberal arts exam. But this is what embarrassed Liu Xin the most.
to be honest. The questions of the liberal arts exam are similar to the questions of an essay. But Liu Xin didn't even graduate from elementary school. It is not easy to come up with a suitable essay topic. Liu Xin searched for intestinal scraping. Long thought. Just now he said: "Mr. Boxie. Please enclose your ears."
Although Cai Yong got up in a hurry. But it was well prepared. He actually took out a pen and paper from behind. Respectfully said: "Please write down the question on the paper. Seal it with a seal. You can open it again on the day of the examination."
For ancient imperial examinations. Liu Xin has only seen some clips from TV and movies. I don't know much about it. but. He also knows. Seal up the good exam questions in advance. It is indeed an effective means to prevent leaks. Unexpectedly, Cai Yong taught himself without a teacher. Also came up with this method.
But Liu Xin did not adopt Cai Yong's suggestion. Instead, he smiled. Said: "If Liu can't even trust her husband, who can Liu believe."
The inexplicably excited old gentleman declined again. Liu Xin whispered a few words in his ear. Then he said: "These two topics are policy topics. You can choose one of them. You can also publish the two questions at the same time. The examinee chooses one of the answers. As for the content of the sub-collection of classics and history, you can handle it at your discretion. Liu You can't stay for long. Let's say goodbye. Please take care, sir."
I heard these two topics mentioned by Liu Xin for the first time. Cai Yong didn't think there was anything special. But think carefully. But it feels unfathomable. Can not help but froze on the spot. Even Liu Xin didn't understand what he said to leave. Wait for him to recover. When I look again. Liu Xin has already led a long way.
Outside the north gate of Xiangyang City. A large group of people is already ready to go. These men and horses are all elites carefully selected from the Third Army Corps that is taking a break. There are 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. Formed a huge team of guards. If Liu Bei saw such a powerful army outside the city. He would be grateful that he was only moved to ambush Liu Xin without putting it into practice.
in fact. From Xiangyang to Yumen Pass were already under Liu Xin's control. In addition to the regular corps, there are also local forces whose combat effectiveness has increased significantly. Especially the all-pervasive Phantom Spy. It is difficult for any team to mobilize personnel to escape Liu Xin's attention. under these circumstances. Even if Liu Xin only brought a few guards. It is difficult for anyone to pose a threat to him. but. This time the situation is a bit special. In addition to the five thousand foot riders in the team. There are also many carts and prisoners bound by ropes.
Every big car is full. There is silk. There are porcelain. There are tea leaves. These things are the focus of Liu Xin's trip to the Western Regions. This is the key to restarting the Silk Road. Therefore, Liu Xin mobilized heavy troops to protect it.
And those prisoners are prisoners who don't cause death. They have been trained for some time at the headquarters of the Engineer Corps in Xiangyang. Now he will be taken to Xiliang to serve as a slave in the Engineer Corps. Participate in the construction of Grassland New City. Originally, these prisoners were to be escorted alone. Because Liu Xin went to the Western Regions to pass through Liangzhou. They brought these prisoners together. It also saves a team of specially escorted soldiers. Among these prisoners. The Yellow Turban leader Liu Pi was also tied with other prisoners with ropes. Like a bunch of grasshoppers.
Liu Xin reunited with this team. Go north. Because the porcelain on the cart is afraid of bumps. The speed of travel is also slow. Until the evening. Just came to Xinye County. As usual. The team cannot enter the city. So set up a camp outside the city. The county magistrate of Xinye had already received Liu Xin's order. No need to come to see you. but. This county magistrate is quite good at being a man. I didn't come by myself. But he sent his subordinates to lead the sheep and carry the wine. Reward the armed forces. Because it was said on the surface. These sheep and wine were sent to comfort the soldiers. Liu Xin did not decline either. So let those few school lieutenants take it down.
Drinking fragrant wine. Gnawing delicious leg of lamb. The evening breeze is blowing. The soldiers who had worked hard all day gradually relaxed their nervous mood. At this time. The group of prisoners surrounded in the middle of the camp suddenly issued a burst of violence.
Because it is marching on its own territory. Most of the soldiers seemed a little lax. When the voice of sex came over. Many people are still sitting there. Clutching lamb. He looked over there blankly. The first to rush to the prison camp was actually a personal guard team responsible for protecting Liu Xin's safety. After a whip. **It calmed down quickly. The cause of the matter is also understood. original. I don't know who threw the leftover leg bones. It was thrown into the group of prisoners. Arouse the scramble of those prisoners.
After listening to the reports of the guards. Liu Xin frowned. Although it was just an ordinary escort in peacetime. But the army's response was so slow that he was too disappointed. If this is not a riot caused by sheep bones. But the words of a real enemy attack. The consequences will be disastrous. When Liu Xin was about to lead the team, several lieutenants approached him and severely reprimanded him. Then give the order. starting from tomorrow. Organize drills every night. Divide these five thousand soldiers into groups. Take turns in the roles of camping and stealing.
in fact. These soldiers have been rigorously trained. Attacking the enemy camp at night and preventing the enemy from stealing the camp are both compulsory subjects. It's just that everyone thinks this march is a trip without danger. And just relaxed his vigilance.
but. Their relaxation this time reminded Liu Xin. Since then, their leisurely good days have come to an abrupt end. If there is a magistrate offering meat. They can still eat. But the wine is definitely no more to drink. And every night it falls. Then there will be a team of people quietly leaving the camp. Then maybe two more days. Or three watch days. Even before the fifth watch. There may be calls to kill around the camp. Regardless of whether the stealing is successful or not. All soldiers will tighten their nerves all night and night. Because the people who failed the camp were not allowed to eat all day the next day. No one wants to be hungry for a day. Only the spirit of playing twelve points. same. Those who fail to steal the camp will be hungry for a long time. That's because the difficulty of stealing the camp is considerably greater. The penalty will be relatively lighter.
Six consecutive days of marching plus night drills. The soldiers looked a little tired. And one day's journey will reach Chang'an. Liu Xin finally gave the order. There is no need to practice stealing and garrisoning tonight. Everyone can have a good rest.
Get this order. All the soldiers were very relieved. In addition to the soldiers responsible for night patrols and duty. The others fell asleep early.
On the first night when I heard the killing shouts outside the camp. The prisoners were rioting again. But soon he fell silent under the personal guard's whip. the following few days. They already knew that these screams were just a drill carried out by the soldiers. Also gradually got used to it. But tonight. Three shifts have passed. It was quiet outside the camp. It made the prisoners a little uncomfortable.
Liu Pi tossed over and over again. But always can't sleep. Can't help but listen carefully. Except for the slight snoring around. There was no movement. Liu Pi couldn't help but sit up. But it led to the prisoners who were tied to a rope with him. The prisoners were sleeping soundly. Was awakened by him. It is inevitable to mumble a few words. Liu Pi hurriedly made a silent gesture. Asked in a low voice, "Do you want to escape?"
Although he is a Yellow Turban thief. But it can be considered to be in the army for many years. In his experience. The soldiers in the battalion went through the intense tension these days. Now relax once. It must have been a deep sleep. Even if it thunders. I am afraid it will be difficult to wake them up. Such a great opportunity. Liu Pi naturally didn't want to let it go.
The prisoner closest to Liu Pi was called Lao Wang. In a neighborhood dispute. Missing hurts lives. Sentenced to ten years of hard labor. In other words. He will not be released until he has been in the Engineer Corps for six years. Ten years is really not short. Hear what Liu Pi said. Pharaoh couldn't help but be moved. Lifted half of his body and looked around.
But I heard a person next to him whispered softly: "Neuropathy."
Pharaoh turned his head and looked away. It is the second cow in the village next door. Erniu is a habitual thief. Do not change after repeated instruction. This time he was sentenced to three years of hard labor. Lao Wang couldn't help asking, "Er Niu. Don't you want your old lady."
Erniu is different from Lao Wang. Three years passed in a blink of an eye. Why should he take this risk? The two cows ignored them. Turned over and went back to sleep.
Liu Pi had already seen it. This old king also has the heart to escape. Can't help but say: "The guards around are slack. Don't run away tonight. More time."
Lao Wang also sat up. Suddenly sighed. Said: "We are tied together. How can we escape."
Liu Pi smiled strangely. Said: "Come and see."
