Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei! My name is Shang Cheng, and I am from Wencang County."

The young man behind Shang Cheng bowed respectfully to King Zhenbei and said:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei! I am Yin Yinglong, from Wencang County."

The young talents from Wencang County announced their names one by one. They were He Yongchang, Tan Shenghe, Bao Renhao, Yan Yuanda, Yan Quanmin, Guan Changyan, Yuan Demin, and

Hong Xuan looked at the ten young men from Wencang County:

"Is there anyone among you who is a successful candidate in the imperial examination?"

None of the ten young men responded.

None of the ten of them was a Jinshi. Jinshi required participating in the palace examination. It was normal that there was no such high-level talent as Jinshi.

"Is there anyone among you who is a juren?" Zhenbei Wang Hongze asked again.

Qingjun Bao Renhao stepped out of the line, took a step forward and said respectfully:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, I, Bao Renhao, participated in the Dafeng Imperial Examination and passed the examination. I failed the Spring Examination!"

King Zhenbei looked at the young man Bao Renhao and said with satisfaction:

"To govern Yunzhou County, it is enough to recruit talented people."

"Bao Renhao, I appoint you as the chief grain officer of Yunzhou Wencang County, with 3,000 personal guards. You, Bao Renhao, will be in charge of 20% of Yunzhou Wencang County's grain each year, and you will be in charge of the other nine grain officers."

Although this young scholar named Bao Renhao did not know what kind of official he was, nor did he know what a grain official was,

But he could feel that he was highly valued by King Zhenbei, and that was enough.

"Yes! I obey your order!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at the young men from other county towns in the hall and said:

"Those of you who have passed the imperial examinations or have passed the imperial examinations, please step out directly."

When Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said this,

There were people coming out from almost every county town.

Hongxuan was very satisfied when he saw that there were people coming out from every county town.

Yunzhou has a population of nearly ten million, so it is normal to have dozens of talented people who have passed the imperial examination.

The young man from Cuifeng County responded respectfully:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, I am Liu Chengxue, and I have participated in the autumn imperial examination and passed the examination."

The other nine people in Cuifeng County are all scholars.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at these young people with great satisfaction.

Hongxuan thought of something.

He asked Qilin Guard to handle it, and Qilin Guard would naturally hand over the matter of Hongxuan's selection of food officers to the commanders and deputy commanders of the three field armies for supervision.

These army commanders and deputy army commanders.

The lowest among them were Juren who passed the imperial examination, and some were Jinshi.

For example, Jiang Yichen, He Zhili and An Jingyi, all three of them were Jinshi graduates from the imperial examination of the Dafeng Kingdom.

None of them won the top three in the imperial examination, but they were all rare talents who passed the second-class imperial examination.

Therefore, the group of young people selected from Yunzhou had all gone through a round of elimination.

Without the status of a scholar, one cannot enter the main hall.

Hong Xuan said to Liu Chengxue, "Liu Chengxue! I appoint you as the chief grain officer of Cuifeng County, with 3,000 personal guards. You, Liu Chengxue, will be in charge of 20% of the grain in Cuifeng County of Yunzhou every year, and you will be in charge of the other nine grain officers."

"Yes! I obey your order!"

Zhenbei Hongxuan looked at the young men of the Grand Prince and said:

"Tell me your name, identity and origin!"

A young man from the Yaoshan County team said respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei! My name is Yu Xiuping, I come from Yaoshan County, and I am a Jinshi."

A young man walked out of the Baiyuan County team and said respectfully to King Zhenbei:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei! My name is An Gaoze, I come from Baiyuan County, and I am a Jinshi by imperial examination!"

A young man from the Yuxi County team walked out and said respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, my name is Meng Xibo. I participated in the autumn imperial examination and passed the examination."

A young man from the Jinjiao County team walked out and said respectfully to King Zhenbei:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, my humble name is Qi Liangye, and I am a Jinshi!"

A young man from the Huaming County team walked out and said respectfully to the Zhenbei King who was sitting high in the hall:

"I am a humble official, but I am a scholar by birth!"

A young man from the Qinglian County team walked out and said respectfully to King Zhenbei:

"I am Qi Jinming, a Jinshi (a scholar)!"

A young man from the Shangtong County team walked out and said respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:

"I am a humble servant of Jin Fu, and I am a Jinshi from the imperial examination!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at these young people and said in a loud voice:

"I appoint Yu Xiuping as the chief of grain in Yaoshan County, An Gaoze as the chief of grain in Baiyuan County, Meng Xibo as the chief of grain in Yuxi County, Qi Liangye as the chief of grain in Jinjiao County,

"Shang Dazheng is the chief of grain for Huaming County, Qi Jinming is the chief of grain for Qinglian County, and Yu Jinfu is the chief of grain for Shangtong County!"

"You will have 3,000 personal guards in your respective county cities. The taxes collected and the grain twice a year can be used at the discretion of the grain chief."

The seven people responded respectfully in unison:

"Yes! I obey your order!"

Yu Xiuping, who was a Jinshi from Yaoshan County, saluted to Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan and said:

"Prince Zhenbei, I don't know what a grain officer is. I ask Your Majesty to help me solve this confusion!"

The other young men in the hall had the same doubts.

They didn't know what a grain officer was. These young people had some understanding of the official system of Dafeng, but this was the first time they heard of such a position as grain officer.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at the young people in the hall with puzzled expressions and said:

"The official positions established by this king are completely different from those in the Dafeng Kingdom system!"

"To put it simply, the officials I set up are to serve the people and seek benefits for the people. Not only do they have food to eat, but they also eat well and have enough to eat!"

"I want to tell every one of you! The people are not the straw dogs that the kings and saints talk about. The people are our parents who provide us with food and clothing. In my opinion, the people represent the way of heaven!"

When Hong Xuan said this theory, the three hundred young men in the hall were all shocked.

This was the first time they had heard such a theory.

The people are the parents who provide us with food and clothing. That’s enough! The people also directly represent the way of heaven.

However, these young people thought about it in their hearts, and they found that what King Zhenbei said was reasonable and in line with the way of heaven!

They had never heard what King Zhenbei said before.

Of course these young people had never heard of it.

Because Hongxuan's theory is not a theory of imperial power under the rule of feudal emperors at all, but a socialist theory in which the people are the masters of their own country.

One can imagine!

How much impact will the King of Zhenbei's theory have on the psychology of these young people?

No matter what books you read before, officials are officials, superior to others, and high above.

The common people are the lowest class of people with the lowest status.

"This king knows that you don't understand, but it doesn't matter, because the food officials selected by this king are also selected from the people."

"So you represent the people, not the officials of Dafeng Kingdom."

All the young people in the hall understood.

The official he was going to be was completely different from those in the bureaucratic system of Dafeng State.

Therefore, they have 3,000 guards who can freely allocate 20% of the tax grain.

Logically, such power should be much greater than that of the county governor of Dafeng State, but the name of their official position is called grain officer.

You must know that the county magistrate is not allowed to have his own personal soldiers privately, let alone three thousand personal guards.

It can be seen that food is the core of King Zhenbei.

The core of the grain official is food.

People eat for food.

It is a great thing if the people have food and can eat their fill. If the people do not have enough food, and all the food is strictly controlled by corrupt officials and the corrupt court, who constantly exploit the people, then justice is completely lost!
