Mythical Three Kingdoms Chapter 1395 - 1347: You’re the Real Rebels!

"You couldn’t have colluded with Miss Cai, could you?" Lub Su said irritably, "Why did she choose Wang Yi as well?"

"It’s not entirely unexpected," Li Youu looked at the recomndation presented by Cai Yan and said to Lub Su.

"So there is no need for a second round of selection, it’s Wang Yi then." Jia Xu nodded. He favored Lul Xun and Lu Yu more, but it wasn’t their ti to rise yet. Although both were talented, they were still too young.

"Then let’s na Wang Yi as the top candidate, but refrain from adding any official positions for now." Chen Xi said to everyone after setting aside the docunts presented. After all, Wang Yi was already the Chief Secretary with a Six Hundred Stones position. While there were many Thousand Stones official positions available externally, adjustnts would be needed here.

After the Wei Hour, Chen Xi left early once again. The civil service exam results had already been posted. Unlike the perplexing situation of the mathematics exam, Wang Yi’s first place was not very secure.

The good thing was that the expressions of the aristocratic families attending this ti were not very pleasant. Even families like the Xun Family, who could produce talents of two or three per hundred miles, couldn’t secure the top spot this ti. Despite taking so many exams, the Aristocratic Families Under Heaven were left in silence till now.

It’s not as if none of Chen Xi’s academy students took the exams. To be precise, besides a dozen excellent students who made the list, the others didn’t even qualify. However, this couldn’t be helped; the Aristocratic Family mber didn’t have to worry about basic needs and had been learning for at least ten years.

In contrast, the academy students trained by Chen Xi were mostly illiterate three years ago, and during their studies, they had to help their families with farm work.

Children from poor families quickly beco responsible. Even if their parents were willing to let them study, these youths couldn’t ignore chores during the farming season out of filial piety, especially in the Han Dynasty, an era ruled by filial piety.

To have about ten people qualify, even if the highest ranks are fifty and beyond, Chen Xi was very satisfied. If they were born into Aristocratic Rich Family and carefully nurtured, they could certainly beco talents of a hundred miles without any doubt.

This is a very good start and should lead to more in the future. As for the next fifty years, there aren’t many solutions. The monopoly of knowledge by the Aristocratic Families is not sothing that can be broken in one generation. Having a good start is already a positive sign.

Of course, for these dozen qualified students, Chen Xi arranged for positions, all as minor officials of Hundred Dan. However, compared to those who entered through family connections, Chen Xi paid a bit more attention to these dozen, as they were the first batch to formally enter bureaucracy through exams.

"Family Head, the Xuzhou Zhang Family has sent a visiting card." Butler Chen respectfully handed a visiting card to Chen Xi from the side.

"The Xuzhou Zhang Family?" Chen Xi pondered, unable to recall exactly which family.

It’s unavoidable. During the Three Kingdoms, there were quite a few families with the surna Zhang known for their County Prestige. However, due to issues with family-related banknotes, relationships among these Zhang Family have beco a bit strained.

Though tracing back hundreds of years, there might be a strong chance they are siblings, and so families indeed have deep roots that trace back to their origin. However, the current banknote issues have led to disputes, and there’s no getting around that several powerful Zhang aristocratic families existed by the Late Han.

"The person who brought the card ntioned Zhang Hong, Zhang Zigang." Butler Chen thought for a mont and said.

"Oh, it’s actually him." Chen Xi said with a hint of surprise. With Jiangh Wan’s ability, everything that could be explained must have been. It’s extraordinary that they would visit , does the other party not understand my position?

"Has anything happened at ho?" After receiving the card, Chen Xi inquired.

"Second Miss Cai visited the Second Lady and took Hengheng, who had run back, back with her." Butler Chen selectively reported the day’s events.

"Oh, it ran back again huh, before Chen Qian grows to chase chickens and dogs, let it stay with Second Miss Cai and prevent its return." Chen Xi said reflectively, thinking about how dogs always exhibit terrifying loyalty.

To be honest, Chen Xi had grown quite fond of that little white dog, but Chen Lan and Chen Qian, at present, were not suitable to raise a dog, so it had to stay elsewhere for now.

Coincidentally, Cai Zhenji’s son, or rather Yang Dao’s ex-wife’s son, had just reached the age of chasing chickens and dogs, so the dog was sent to Cai Zhenji’s household, as it was smarter and cleaner compared to other dogs.

"I don’t have much of a choice, Hengheng wants to co back, and it’s impossible to stop." Chen Bo said with a wry smile. Though Hengheng couldn’t fly yet, it had no trouble jumping over walls.

"It understands human speech, so repeat it to him a few more tis, and it should learn." Chen Xi thought to himself, and rembered that most people couldn’t even handle it.

Butler Chen was speechless, but he nodded, indicating he would do it. He had been with Chen Xi for several years and understood his Family Head’s temperant.

The next morning, slipping out to Ye City’s newly developed chicken farm, it was reported that yet another issue had arisen shortly after setting it up. They hurried to butcher the chickens for making dried chicken before they could be entirely wiped out.

Anyway, as far as Chen Xi knew, among the many batches and places they tried to raise chickens, the tis they successfully got a full cycle without incident were rare. Chickens would often fall sick, and to prevent complete loss, they’d have to slaughter all of them.
