Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 997 Central Plains Mandarin Assessment Grade [-] and [-]

Chen Jing suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Chen Zhi's instructions. This was a very fatal problem. Chen Zhi's trust was the foundation for the Chen clan to settle down in Youzhou's officialdom!

Without this, how can they compete with others?
He probably knew that Chen Zhi was interested in him because of his performance in the Tuoba tribe. But more importantly, he was one of the few people in the Chen family in Youzhou who had some experience and had gone through ups and downs. Putting aside the Chen surname, , the advantages are very limited.

Chen Zhi's words are actually a warning and a reminder. They are also the direction of Chen Jing's next work. Naturally, they cannot violate it, let alone deviate in their understanding. This is fatal!
Therefore, Chen Jing had to revise his original plan.

According to his original idea, after going to Qipin Xianbei, as the representative of the Chen family, he had to run a good business. He could also let the Chen family of his line rely on it to develop while Qipin Xianbei was growing. In the future, Qipin Xianbei If they could annex most of the other areas, dominate the grassland, and become Chen Zhi's right-hand man, their own Chen family might also be able to spread their wings on the grassland.

But this beautiful blueprint was killed by Chen Zhisheng before it could be unfolded, which made him aware of the problems inside.

In a panic, Chen Jing quickly changed the topic and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates know that those barbarians are all ambitious people who are just feeding the ignorant white-eyed wolves. They should not be credulous. If you guard the seventh-grade righteous obedience, you will definitely disagree." Stirring and controlling the situation will make it difficult for them to be the dominant one, and will not make the Seventh Rank too weak so that they can compete with Tuoba and Murong."

"It's best if you can understand the propriety inside, but you don't have to be too deliberate." Chen Zhi nodded, and what he said made Chen Jing feel relieved, "If it is managed properly, the Seventh Grade Yi Cong will grow stronger. There is no need to deliberately suppress it, you just need to guide it well. When I established the Seventh Rank Yi Cong, I had a word with them in advance. If you get a high rank, you can enjoy peace like the Han family. This will not change. Just keep it. People who are promoted to high-level people can be transported to Youzhou. Even if they don’t come to Youzhou, the high-level people can enjoy more, but..."

Upon hearing this "but", not only Chen Jing's heartstrings tightened, but also Gao Bing, who was sitting next to him and listening, couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Listen to Chen Zhi continue: "However, whether it is the Tuoba clan or the Murong clan, no matter how powerful they are originally, as long as they defect to the seventh rank, they cannot be directly ranked in the high rank. At most, they will be given a fourth rank as a starting point. Based on their With strength, he should be able to raise his rank soon. If you don't want to, then that's it. Go away and I won't stay. If you come to a family, you will be in the high rank. Today, the Tuoba family can be in the second rank as soon as you come. In the future, If a more powerful person comes, will he be directly ranked in the first rank? The distinction between seventh rank is in name only."

Chen Jing was about to accuse him immediately, but Chen Zhi waved his hand to stop him.

"Don't panic, I'm not blaming you. You used to be a pedestrian in the Tuoba tribe, dealing with courtesy and foreign affairs. Your thoughts and ideas didn't have time to change. It's inevitable that there will be some deviations. There's just one thing you need to keep in mind. There is a hard and fast rule for entering the second rank," Chen Zhi said, putting away his smile, "Qifu and Tufa are ranked third among the seven ranks, and their numbers and influence are not low. Why? Can’t be promoted to the second rank? There is no other reason, because there are still people in the clan who cannot speak the Central Plains Mandarin. This is a hard and fast rule. If you want to be the second rank, you must master the Central Plains Mandarin. Even if you can’t write it, I heard that you must do it!”

Chen Zhi glanced at Ran Zhan and Gao Bing and said, "You must also pay attention to this matter."

"What are we paying attention to?" Ran Zhan felt puzzled. He was a general in charge and a lieutenant colonel in the army. He was not a full-time official yet. He was just waiting to finish the war. With this merit, he became a full-time official and received some benefits. How could he compete with those seven people outside the Great Wall? Pinhu's Mandarin education linked together?

Gao Bing was not surprised. When he saw Chen Zhi talking to Chen Jing, he called himself and Ran Zhan up, and he had made speculations in this regard. At this time, it was just verified.

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "The surroundings are temporarily stable. I want to go back to Youzhou to rectify it, but the border cannot be left unguarded. The line between Daijun, Guangning, and Shanggu faces the grassland. Someone needs to be in charge. I think you are very good." Suitable, but his temper is too impetuous. Fortunately, with the help of Gao Bing, it will be safe. From now on, you have to assist Chen Jing in managing the seventh-grade Yi Cong, and the supervision work needs to be started!" Ran Zhan didn't care much at first, but after hearing the order He was guarding the frontier, and immediately became excited, and wanted to ask questions.

Chen Zhi still waved his hand, stopped Ran Zhan's inquiry, and turned to Gao Bing: "As for this Zhongyuan Mandarin, there is a method for screening grades. I have listed it roughly and will give it to you in a while to improve it. , it is used in the selection and assessment of the seventh-grade Yi Cong, and it is your responsibility. The general idea is that if you want to advance from the fourth grade to the third grade, the entire surname must pass the fourth-grade Mandarin assessment and have the level of the fourth-grade Mandarin. As for the second grade, you must at least It has to be the sixth level of Mandarin. Based on this idea, you can improve the regulations, the specific levels and the required books. When you complete the content, I will arrange for people to compile it."

Gao Bing was startled, then nodded in agreement, thinking in his mind, if he said that he would assist Ran Zhan in garrisoning, this was what he should do, but he would also be responsible for the Mandarin assessment of the seventh-grade Xianbei, which would have some influence on the attachment and decentralization of power outside the Great Wall. What is the significance of the general's move?

With this in mind, he glanced at Chen Jing and saw that the latter's expression was quite calm. He couldn't help but nod, knowing that this was a deep-rooted opponent who would probably meet him often in the future.

After finishing the fourth and sixth grade questions in Mandarin, Chen Zhi suddenly felt refreshed and his mood improved significantly. He then said to Chen Jing: "The document appointing you will be issued soon, but some procedures are necessary. , I have to remind you first, although Yicong outside the Great Wall is not a general government system and does not need to abide by the standards for selection and promotion, this is a temporary expedient. The corresponding plans and plans must be listed, archived, and planned. By entering the archives, Youzhou will be stable in the future, and the assessment and promotion within the seventh rank will also be included in the regulations."

Chen Jing nodded and said: "My subordinates will start preparations later. Regarding the recruitment of Tuoba and the possible addition of Murong, they will make a general plan on how to deal with it. However, if this matter is leaked... "

"It's naturally difficult to leak this kind of thing. You are all people I trust." After saying that, Chen Zhi glanced at Ran Zhan, who nodded quickly, "As for the filing of files, there will be dedicated personnel in charge, so there is no need to worry. What you have to do is to be prepared, whether it is official position or mental preparation."

The three of them promised in unison, all eager to try, so excited that even the drowsiness was swept away.

Looking at the performance of the three people, Chen Zhi said: "You all have your responsibilities. After I finish handling things here tomorrow, I will also go to Jixian to handle more complicated matters. The next few years will not be easy, so we should encourage each other."

The three of them clapped their chests and swore, making various promises.

Chen Zhi didn't take it seriously either. He had planned to go back and complete the regulations for merit review. But at this moment, Chen Ju asked for a meeting outside and brought a piece of news, which he whispered in Chen Zhi's ears.

Chen Zhi frowned and said to Chen Ju: "First go and send a message to someone personally, asking them to stop and return to their base. Don't cause any trouble!"

Seeing Chen Zhi's expression, Gao Bing and Chen Jing made their own guesses, but Chen Zhi looked at Chen Jing and said, "There happens to be an opportunity for you to try it first."
