Hong Cheng-chan returned to Fuzhou City with He Wenrui. Soon, the Southeast War Zone Guangfa cavalry rushed to the eleven prefectures and states, and distributed the "Letter to the Gentlemen and People in the Falling Areas", "Notice of the People's Security", "Notice of the Southeast Imperial Examination", "Open Letter to the Southeast Gentlemen and People" and a large number of official documents. He Wenrui also sent people to copy many newspapers in the base camp that supported the Southeast Entrance Examination and distributed them together.

At this time, the Southeast War Zone was advancing rapidly in the southeast, and the Qing Dynasty was defeated step by step. However, the United States actually controlled the prefectures and large counties. Some small counties, townships and some garrisons were all occupied by gentry and militia. The cavalry were scattered everywhere, hanging information at the gates of villages and towns, or standing near the county towns, and using merchants and ordinary people to spread it in an effort to let more people know. He Wenrui also set the start date of the Southeast Seminar on July 1st.

In a simple and rough demographic statistics, the eight prefectures in Fujian have a total population of 5 million, one prefecture in Chaozhou has a total population of 1.2 million, and the three prefectures in southern Zhejiang (not all occupied) have a population of 2.7 million. The actual control area in the southeast has a population of nearly 9 million. In fact, the World War in Fujian doubled the population of the United States. According to the previous experience of the United States, even if only basic rule of these populations is required, at least 35,000 administrative, judicial and public security officials are required. The so-called basic rule is to collect sufficient taxes and conduct public trials and judgments on major criminal cases. There are no organized crimes in public security, including rebellions, bandits and bandits.

If officials are fully dispatched from the United States bureaucracy, it means that one-third of the United States officials will be transferred to the mainland. Such internal turmoil is absolutely not allowed, and the time for dispatching officials from overseas territories is not allowed.

Therefore, the officials needed to govern the Southeast are mainly dispatched by the base camp and serve as the main officials in the government system, including administrative, judicial and public security officials. Half of the middle and lower-level officials assigned to the subordinates are trainees from universities in various countries in the United States and graduates of the political and legal department of the United Front School, and the other half are scholars elected by the scientific examinations. Clerks, clerks and other grassroots officials will be given priority to resettlement of injured retired soldiers and retired officers and soldiers, and most of them will be required to be produced by local scientific examinations.

This means that the United States provided local scholars with at least 20,000 positions to eat public food. Although most of the positions were completely different from the positions elected by the imperial examinations of the feudal dynasties and the positions held by the juren, at least they were given the power and channels for promotion to participate in local governance. Of course, the real gentlemen and officials scoffed at these positions, but common people and landlords and scholars from rich peasants did not, because they were originally losers in the imperial examination system.

Less than half a month after the various materials were issued, He Wenrui issued the second type of information, which could not be made public because it was a rumor. The rumor was varied, but the format was the same. Generally, a certain family had sent people to the prefecture where they were located and successfully obtained the examination qualification. There were very few people participating in this subject, and they were qualified as a student. After the examination, they could be awarded the senior official position of the deputy prefecture of the prefecture.

As soon as the rumors came out, scholars from all over the Fujian area were everywhere, and they went to their prefectures to register for the exam. After arriving at the prefectures, scholars came into contact with the information dissemination methods they had just come into contact with - newspapers. There were almost all kinds of newspapers about the Southeast scientific examination, and examiners, candidates and even exam questions. It was precisely because of this exam question that He Wenrui encountered the first big trouble, that was, the scholars went to the bus to write.

(The bus is the signature of the official who received the letter from the Han Dynasty)

While He Wenrui was writing hard in the study, there were suddenly a sound of drums outside. He Wenrui not only looked angry, but also shouted: "Go and see who is causing trouble!"

He was in a good mood because Fuzhou City had already been filled with scholars from all over the Southeast, which meant that scholars from traditional Han areas began to accept the political system of the United States, which was the first step. In Li Mingxun's handwritten letter to He Wenrui, Li Mingxun mentioned that this step was more important than annihilation of the 100,000 Qing troops. He was writing a report document to the Senate, but he was disturbed.

The clerk quickly stepped in and said, "Sir, someone outside is praising the wrongdoer."

"Who is so bold!" He Wenrui put down his pen.

The secretary said: "He is the representative of scholars from all over the country who came to take the exam, with a total of twelve people."

When he heard that it was a scholar, He Wenrui became serious and said, "Please go to the flower hall and order someone to serve tea."

He Wenrui met a group of scholar representatives in the flower hall, just like a press conference in later generations, responding to the doubts of some scholars, but the secretary said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work this time. There are twelve scholar representatives, but there are thousands of people gathered around him."

"Hurry, go outside the city to find Bai Rong'an and ask him to assemble the army. If there is something wrong, follow my orders." He Wenrui ordered while changing his official robe.

When he left the gate of the government office, he saw twelve scholars sitting cross-legged on the ground, without saying a word, and countless people gathered around him, so dark that they could not see the head. Most of the scholars in the front row were scholars, as well as people from all walks of life.

Seeing the crowds of people, He Wenrui pulled out his pistol and shot it, shouting: "I and even the Chief Executive of Fujian He Wenrui, I have issued a notice to make the scholars wait for the start of the exam. Why are they causing trouble here?"

One of the twelve scholars stood up, bowed to He Wenrui and said, "Student Zhao Wenting, a Changle person in Fuzhou, is a scholar who came to take the exam. These friends behind me also came to take the exam. They represent Yanping and Wenzhou respectively... I feel that there are disadvantages in this Southeast scientific examination. Those who came to argue were not deliberately gathering people to cause trouble."

He Wenrui listened, these twelve people represent all the places in the twelve southeast prefectures except Chaozhou Prefectures. You should know that Chaozhou has been in the hands of the United States for five years and should be the same as in China. This time it was included in the Southeast scientific expedition was just a routine matter. The students there had already known how to operate it. The twelve people in front of him represented the new restoration of the southeast. He Wenrui secretly scolded the insufficient population here. If he was in the base camp, even in Chaozhou Prefecture, so many people would have joined forces, they would have been detected by the Security Bureau or other security agencies.

"What are you defending? If you defend yourself, just go to the administrative office directly. This group will attract the attention of the people. Wouldn't it be a threat?" the clerk asked.

Of course, the scholars mean the same, but this is not the time to pursue the matter. Zhao Wenting said: "We did not intend to do so, please forgive me."

He Wenrui signaled not to pursue the matter and asked, "Okay, what do you need to defend yourself?"

Zhao Wenting took out a stack of newspapers and handed them over, asking, "I wonder if the test questions mentioned in these newspapers are true."

He Wenrui took it and took a look. They were all tabloids in the base camp. The content that was recently reported was not something that He Wenrui had carefully selected. There was nothing on it. It just listed a few questions that were often tested in the base camp administrative officer examination, and then asked in a joking tone whether the Southeast scholar could answer it. He said bluntly that most of the ten people could not answer it.

The questions are mostly commonly used calculating and logical questions, which are completely different from the eight-legged essay exam. You should know that the Ming and Qing dynasties mainly examines eight-legged essays and test poems. The eight-legged essays choose the Four Books and Five Classics, and choose one or two sentences from nine works to let the candidates explain the meaning in the tone of the ancients, "making words on behalf of sages". There are various rules, norms and even the number of words. They test the mastery of Confucian classics and the ability to write eight-legged essays. However, the examinations in the United States are all practical and practical, and are in line with the problems encountered after becoming an official, and there is no eight-legged essay.

"Just, how can there be candidates in the world who directly ask questions about the exam?" the clerk said with a smile.

He Wenrui glared at the secretary and responded: "Although this scientific examination may not be tested for these questions, it is mostly similar to this. Although the newspapers speak rudely, what they say is the truth."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Zhao Youting said: "We and the scholars gathered here because they were worried about this."

He Wenrui's hand was held behind him secretly. If these scholars forced the Southeast Science and Technology Examination to take the eight-part essay, the matter here would be completely failed. It would be a one-stop ending. He took a deep breath and before he could speak, the examiner Hong Cheng-chan walked out. Hong Cheng-chan said loudly: "Scholars, the country is in danger and the nation is in danger. Is it impossible to solve the knowledge of righteousness and reason? In the current crisis, the people of the world still need help. The leaders must learn the knowledge that is practical. Therefore, this scientific examination will add a lot of logic, calculation, governance, legal provisions and other issues, which are to alleviate the national crisis!"

"Damn, I really can't compare to the bragging skills of scholars. I can tell you big truths one by one." He Wenrui said inwardly.

"We have studied the eight-legged essay studies for years and have worked hard. If we don't take the exam, it will be unfair!" Zhao Wenting asked loudly.

"How is it unfair to take the exam, but it is not only targeting you, nor is it only targeting the essays who are very particular about the eight-legged essays?" Hong Cheng-chan asked.

He Wenrui opened the newspaper, pointed to a trigonometric function question on it, and asked, "Scholars, can you learn this kind of question?"

Everyone shook their heads, and He Wenrui asked again: "Is there a merchant here?"

A fat big businessman emerged from the crowd and laughed: "The villain manages tea and is considered a businessman, but the villain doesn't know what this line circle is."

He Wenrui asked again: "Can the craftsman know?"

A craftsman stood up: "The little man is the carpenter at the Nantai Shipyard, and I don't know what this is?"

He Wenrui asked all the five elements and eight works, but no one knew it. He Wenrui said: "This question is known to students from overseas colleges. Even 10-year-old children can answer it. The officers in the army and the officials in the administrative office can also answer it. However, this scientific examination is not for these people. Therefore, those who can not take the exam cannot take it, and those who take the exam cannot. However, every exam needs to be used as a medium. People who know the text and make words in the world are not you scholars. Although this scientific examination is aimed at the public, it is still the only one who can dominate the exam. How is it unfair?"

Zhao Youting said: "What the lord said is reasonable, but who understands the difficulties of our scholars? Although the imperial examinations in the past did not know the question, they knew the categories and could still learn in advance. Now that the new dynasty has started, we don't know at all. If the results come out, everyone scores very poorly. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at my Southeast scholars for being incompetent? How can our overseas colleagues accept us and sit with him?"

Speaking of this, He Wenrui understood a little. These guys were not rejecting the new test questions, but were afraid of failing the exam. Just imagine, the same corpse was in the base camp and Chaozhou Prefecture, and there were many people with more than 80. If they were in Fujian, wouldn’t there be even fewer passers-by? A group of big fools selected to be officials, not only did overseas officials of the same level dissatisfied, but also local people.

He Wenrui remembered the preparations for the first time that the Qiongfan children took the United Front School exam, and immediately had an idea and said, "I have understood the meaning of the scholars. I will continue to give the instructions. The exams scheduled for the twelve prefectures of Fujian and Zhejiang will be temporarily set as the preliminary test, and I will give you time to study and prepare."

"I dare to ask, what is the first test?" Zhao Wenting asked.

He Wenrui said: "Only examine the three items of writing, reading and basic arithmetic. When writing, you can write regular characters. Beijing Mandarin is the best. As for the analysis, you can only examine the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Only those who pass the preliminary test can enter the next round."

Now, the scholars felt at ease, and He Wenrui said: "As for the learning issues of the new test questions, the Administrative Office will conduct research and give you a reply within three days. How about it?"

"I'm sorry!" The scholars bowed together.

After the people in front of the office were gone, He Wenrui returned to the lobby. Hong Cheng-chan asked worriedly: "Mr. He, this time the southeast examination is launched, and things are urgently followed. It is better to use the eight-legged essay to get the scholar first, and wait for the future to gradually improve."

He Wenrui firmly said: "If you use the eight-part essay to win the scholars, it is better not to win the scholars. What do you think about the eight-part essay to win the scholars? Isn't that self-harm?"

"But the scholars responded so much, how did they end up?" Hong Cheng-chan asked.

He Wenrui smiled slightly: "I have my own way."

As he said that, He Wenrui waved his hand and said a few names to the secretary. Soon after, seven or eight young officials from the official office walked in. These people were freshmen who graduated from the United Front School, all from the Jinfan and Shufan. They were either the illegitimate sons of a general under the vassal states, or they were simply the descendants of low-ranking officers and officials. You should know that the United Front School has already established junior schools in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, and intermediate schools in Guangzhou, Kunming and Qiongzhou. The schools are paid by various vassal states, and the children of the vassal are free to enroll. Every year, the United Front School will select a group of outstanding children from them.

These are all the children of the Ming Dynasty who lacked background. In the vassal areas, appointing officials with bloodlines and background. It is the basic rule that the son inherits his father's business, which has led to many excellent children of the vassal areas not being important. Although there are various shady stories in the bureaucratic system of the United States, there is no inheritance system, which gives these children more room for entry and does not have to act according to other people's faces.

"You have just come from Hong Kong. Are you sending the information you have when you were studying in the college or are there with you?" He Wenrui asked.

"If you go back to the chief, we will still be internship when we come, and our study materials are around us, and we will send them home after we become a regular employee." One person replied.
