Zhang Zhao felt something was wrong and said, "Lord, we are not short of prefects in each county now. Moreover, it is better for the three old generals to stay in Shitou City. It is not good to go out to serve as county magistrates. One is that he is older and has been appointed from other places. It makes people feel that he is too cold to the heroes."

Sun Quan also felt that this was not possible, and it was inconsistent with his plan, so he said: "In fact, we cannot be in a hurry for civil servants. We have now started to implement six years of free education throughout the country. In this way, in a few years, we will have a lot of talents emerge. After the exam, we can select the best ones for the country. However, they lack experience at the beginning, but gradually, the pressure on talents will naturally be relieved. There are martial arts lecture halls in the army, and there will be no shortage of talents. Of course, these are just grassroots. For high-level talents, we still need to recruit more talents. How to place them is a happy worry, which is better than not."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao also understood that the talents from all over the country have been almost robbed by various forces, and the method they cultivated is indeed the best. Now the talents will not stop flowing like springs. Zhou Yu said: "Lord, then you have a way to settle them."

"Well, one thing is, Lu Su is not a part-time Minister of the General Staff, Xu Shu takes over as the General Staff; second, Cheng Pu is not a part-time Minister of the Logistics, and Kan Ze is promoted to minister; Han Dang no longer serves as the Minister of the Army, and Huang Zhong takes over; Huang Gai is the Minister of the Navy, no longer serves as the Minister of Military Affairs, and also serves as the Navy Instructor of the Military Affairs Hall, and Pang Tong is transferred to the Minister of Military Affairs." Sun Quan expressed his arrangement, which was to remove the former part-time job, and then asked: "What do you think of this arrangement?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "I think it's okay. General Han didn't speak much in the Military Affairs Office, so it's better to be transferred. But I don't think he can be a qualified teacher. After all, his eloquence may be almost the same, but this also makes everyone satisfied."

Sun Quan said again: "I am going to set up another study room beside me, and transfer a few young people to handle some chores and documents for me. The grade is the fourth rank. I have a position as a doctor in the court, and I am allowed to participate in the discussions on the regular basis. The official title is called a study room. You two are responsible for recommending talents to me. I will choose four people for this position. You will recommend two of them one by one. Be smart. They must be consulted at any time."

This is Sun Quan's close minister. It is easy to add points if he performs well. Sun Quan asked the two of them to recommend it, which was to give them a great grace. Both of them happily went on to choose people.

Afterwards, Sun Quan took Pang Tong, Chen Nian, Nian Nujiao and others to watch the competition. Of course, it is necessary to bring Gongsun E with him. Sun Quan and others watched the second round of the competition. In the second round of the knockout round, the people who selected those who won more than two games in the first round, almost half of them were selected, and then many were eliminated in the first ten days of the second round. Sun Quan came to watch the game and was eliminated to only about two hundred people left. The showdown was already quite exciting at this time.

Gongsun E was here to explain. The referee on the stage was a woman from the Yue Nu Sword Sect, which made it easier for both parties to accept the competition. He would be more pity for women and men at any time. Several people watched very vigorously in the private room in the VIP area on the stands, especially Gongsun E, who was so excited that he called: "That fool, his sword is going a little further. He doesn't know how his master taught me."

Sun Quan was watching while chatting with Pang Tong, but he didn't watch it carefully anyway. However, during the last showdown at noon, Sun Quan saw someone coming up on the ring. Isn't that his sister Sun Shangxiang? She actually went to participate in the competition and entered the top two hundred. Sun Quan was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand with a "snake". He stood up and looked at Chen Nian and cursed: "Do you have a broken head? You've known that your wife has been going to participate in the competition for you. If the little sister is injured, I'll see that I won't peel you off! Go down and call me that girl up."

Chen Nian didn't dare to speak there, but Nian Nujiao said, "Lord, it's okay. It's already in the top two hundred, which means that the lady's martial arts are very good, and the referee is from the Yue Nu Sword Sect, so she will help at critical moments."

When Sun Quan thought, it must be Gongsun E who taught Sun Shangxiang to practice swords. Otherwise, how could it be so powerful? He was about to ask Gongsun E to come and ask, but the competition was already started, so he started to watch the competition seriously.

Sun Shangxiang was facing a burly man, using a big sword. The knife looked very heavy. Sun Shangxiang's sword weighed only a few pounds, and it was probably possible to slash it with one knife. The big man was not a well-known name. After the referee said that he would directly chop Huashan with one knife and chop it over. Sun Shangxiang turned sideways, and then stepped on the gossip direction under his feet. Before the big man could react, he stabbed the big man's shoulder with a sword. As a result, the big man ignored Sun Shangxiang's sword and slashed at Sun Shangxiang's position again. Sun Shangxiang had to dodge again.

With just a dozen moves like this, the man had been hit several times, but they were all slightly injured, and it was not a vital position. Sun Shangxiang was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Sun Shangxiang knew that if he continued like this, he would lose. Standing opposite the man obviously made people feel that he could not support a few moves. After all, all the body movements were all done, and each move in between had too many moves, so he was already very tired. Sun Quan shouted below: "Surrender! Why are you still fighting!"

Unfortunately, there are thousands of people watching the competition. This era cannot be as big as the future generations. However, Sun Quan built a three-story stand. Except for a few of them, there are also many people sitting there, with thousands of people. Moreover, Sun Shangxiang seems to be supporting many people now, and probably many of them are bet gamblers.

It was naturally impossible for Sun Shangxiang to hear Sun Quan's voice, but just watched the big man's movements. The big man slashed Sun Shangxiang with another knife, which was clearly about consuming Sun Shangxiang's physical strength. Sun Shangxiang's mind was also very voluntary, and then decided to take a risk. As the big man was raising it, she also flashed towards the big man, and then concentrated all her strength to stab the big man in the neck. Then, she stabbed the big man's neck before the big man's sword fell. The big man had to throw the knife and admit defeat.

Of course, the swords in the competition are handled specially. The key parts of the contestants are equipped with protective gear, and the blades of the swords are blunt to avoid some disability or death, and minor injuries are not considered.

After winning, Sun Shangxiang jumped happily on the stage, but then he found that Chen Nian came to pick her up, and knew that it must be his second brother. He thought he would have to withdraw from the competition now, but he was also very happy to be able to participate in this nearly one month competition.
