For countless people, this was a chance to change their fate. Once they succeeded, they would be able to break away from their previous lives and would no longer have to live a life of poverty.
If this was a normal recruitment of scholars, there would not be many people in a small place like Yiwu County. The reason was simple. It was far away and there were not many scholars.
However, Du Qi had announced to all the people that anyone with a skill could participate.
Hence, there were many people.
Inside the spacious square, there was a sea of people. It was already overcrowded. The crowd was densely packed. All of them wanted to try and see if they could seize the opportunity. The number of people in charge today was also quite large.
Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng were both there.
After all, it was the first day. Both of them had to oversee things personally. Apart from them, Yu Deshui, Yi Fusheng, and Yuan Yin had also arrived. Liu Zhengxi had even asked Luo Yansheng for help and transferred a group of aides from the Provincial Governor's Office to help.
Even so, they were still extremely busy. It was a mess.
Countless people crowded forward.
Countless people cheered.
The scene was like a market. It was extremely chaotic. This situation fell into the eyes of Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng. Both of them looked at each other and revealed a bitter expression.
They had underestimated. Even though they had made preparations, they had expected many people to come. However, he never expected that there would be a sea of people. The entire venue, both inside and outside, and even the streets outside were filled with people.
They were all here to recommend themselves.
Of course, in the eyes of Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng, more than ninety percent of the people here were just here to go through the motions. They did not have the slightest ability and would not succeed. However, they could not resist the enthusiasm of the people. After all, Du Qi had ordered them to do so. Hence, they could only endure it.
Guo Xiaozheng's temper was rather irritable.
He and Liu Zhengxi did not personally go forward, but they were worried when they saw this scene.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Brother Liu, we can't do this anymore. The scene now is a complete mess. If we continue, it will only get more chaotic. There will be no stable order at all. "
"Especially when there are too many people. If something goes wrong and someone dies, it will affect Your Highness' reputation and affect Your Highness in the end. Therefore, I believe that we must immediately make adjustments to this matter. Otherwise, if this continues and His Highness comes personally and sees this scene, it will be the two of us who are incompetent. "
Guo Xiaozheng looked at the messy situation and frowned.
The situation was chaotic.
This had to be done.
Liu Zhengxi nodded and said, "Registrar Guo is right. What do you think we should do in this situation?"
Guo Xiaozheng said, "This time, we only arranged ten groups of people for the initial screening. At that time, we didn't think it would be a big problem. But now, it seems that ten groups of people are not enough. "
"So, my suggestion is to take out another 20 people and prepare 30 groups for the initial screening."
"This way, we can quickly solve this problem. However, even if we increase the number of people, because many of them have come to recommend themselves, we will need to ask questions, register, and so on. It will take a lot of time. "
"That's why we can't mess things up. Once we mess things up, it'll be troublesome."
"In my opinion, in addition to increasing the number of people, we should also take out soldiers to maintain order and order everyone who comes to participate in the screening to line up and not cut in line at will. Those who disobey will be kicked out immediately. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "As long as everyone starts to line up, everything will gradually become regulated and order will be maintained. In this situation, things will be easy to handle. "
Liu Zhengxi thought for a moment and said, "Registrar Guo's suggestion is indeed feasible. Let's do it this way. Take out the soldiers first and immediately restore order. "
Guo Xiaozheng got Liu Zhengxi's approval and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, whether it was himself or Liu Zhengxi, they didn't have enough expectations for this kind of thing. Moreover, they didn't have enough experience in this kind of thing, so it was inevitable that they would be a little flustered.
Now that the two of them had reached a consensus, they quickly made arrangements.
The military camp was not far from here.
Not long after, Xue Rengui had already mobilized 300 soldiers. These 300 soldiers were divided into 30 groups, each group having 10 soldiers. Then, they quickly arranged themselves in order and separated all the people who were crowded together in a mess.
Originally, this place was crowded with people, and it was full of people. However, with the division of the soldiers, although there was a short period of chaos, although there was a moment of uproar, as the groups were arranged properly, everything was soon in order.
Even if there were more people who came later, they could only line up at the back and couldn't cut in line at will.
Only in this way could order be maintained.
At this time, the 30 groups of people began to move normally and quickly, and there were no more disturbances. Moreover, because of this division, the speed of the evaluation also sped up.
After all, many people's self-recommendations were simply laughable. They were all useless.
Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng shuttled through.
The two of them watched as they walked, and they also saw a lot of jokes.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Brother Liu, you wouldn't know if you didn't see it, but you got a shock when you saw it. This world is really big, and there are all kinds of strange things. Sigh, His Highness had organized an entrance exam, but all sorts of monsters and monsters had come. It's fine if it's people from all walks of life, but all these rotten things came too. It really makes one feel helpless. "
Liu Zhengxi smiled and said, "This can't be helped. His Highness has recruited too many people."
"Report!"
Just as the two of them were patrolling, a soldier suddenly came.
Liu Zhengxi asked, "What's the matter?"
The soldier said, "Chief Inspector Liu, His Highness is here. General Xue is now outside to welcome His Highness."
"Registrar Guo, let's go!"
Liu Zhengxi called out and walked out with Guo Xiaozheng. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the venue and saw Du Qi in ordinary clothes walking over.
Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng both went forward and bowed.
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "No need to bow. Tell me, what's the current situation like? I see that there are a lot of people in this square, but they're divided into groups. Moreover, the order is quite good. It's done quite well. "
Liu Zhengxi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, it wasn't so orderly in the morning. It was very chaotic. Thanks to Registrar Guo's suggestion, we increased the number of people in charge of the evaluation, and also transferred three hundred soldiers from General Xue to maintain order. Otherwise, the scene would definitely be a mess, noisier and more chaotic than the market. "
After a pause, Liu Zhengxi continued, "As for the people who came to recommend themselves, there isn't anyone particularly outstanding at the moment. However, there are people who can imitate a rooster's crow, drill a dog's hole, dig a hole, swim, climb a tree. In short, no matter what kind of people they are, they all came out. Their skills are all hilarious. On the other hand, the people Your Highness mentioned yesterday who have a skill, I haven't found anyone particularly good at the moment. "
Du Qi said, "This matter isn't urgent at the moment. Let's take it slowly."
If they could recruit the best people as soon as they opened the entrance exam, there would be too many talents on the street.
Du Qi was actually more patient.
"Registrar Liu, Registrar Liu, a powerful person has appeared. Sergeant Yuan invites you to go back and take a look."
At this moment, an attendant came in to report.
After Liu Zhengxi heard this, he looked at Du Qi and said, "Your Highness, this is the first one. Let's go and take a look."
"Lead the way!"
Du Qi ordered.
