After listening to Chen Xu's method of killing two birds with one stone to raise money, the conference room of the newspaper hall was full of noise.

Qiu Chengfu An Jitong Pang Que and others have said that they will also donate generously to the ancestors of their sect, and when the time comes, they will engrave their names on the merit monument for the world to admire, and these people in the newspaper are also wealthy, and they are at least tens of thousands, these people have followed Chen Xu for a few years, and they have a good salary, and this time because the newspaper donated 30 million yuan to build a library, everyone mixed a real lack of official body, although it is still poor in the newspaper, but the identity is completely different. At present, all of them are officials with four, five, six, seven, eight and nine grades, and all of them can be regarded as famous, so in less than a moment, the intention to donate to the newspaper alone has reached more than 100,000 yuan, and the news has spread outside, and many reporters and stewards have also come to the conference room to ask for donations to keep their names.

Driven by this incident, the noise of the entire newspaper office resounded throughout the street, and a large group of people soon gathered at the entrance of the newspaper office to inquire about the news.

After half an hour of noisy shouting, Chen Ping drove away all the irrelevant people, and the conference room finally quieted down.

Next, after some collective planning, a rough plan for the selection of 100 sages was soon released.

The content is to preserve the countless sages of China, prosper the cultural market of Daqin, and carry forward the long civilization inheritance of China, Emperor Shangjuan of Qinghe wants to build a Daqin National Library with a collection of millions of books in Xianyang City, and in order to commemorate all the sages and predecessors who have worked hard, specially invite the world's celebrities to participate in the selection of 100 sages, build a statue in the name of the sons and stand on the steps in front of the library, each plan is a ballot, and the voter writes down the person he recommends, and seals it and sends it to the county government in various places. Finally, it will be summarized to the Daqin Metropolis Newspaper, and then the newspaper will recruit 200 celebrities from various factions in Xianyang to form a jury for Kaifeng statistics, and the results will be published in the newspaper in spring and February.

The selection plan also specifically states that the characters who vote must have a complete inheritance and classics, otherwise they will be regarded as invalid votes and so on.

In this era of no telephones and no Internet, it is unlikely that such a thing as canvassing for votes will occur, and even if it does, it can only appear in a very small circle, and a newspaper comes with a ballot to ensure that those who really care about national affairs can participate in the selection.

Although it is said that there is no first martial arts and no second, this selection will thoroughly see which sect has the most disciples in the Great Qin world, which sect is very active, and which sects have been mismanaged and closed down.

In order to cooperate with this public selection, the newspaper also has to go to the Faculty of Arts to check the information, so that the Faculty of Letters first conducts a primary election of 100 celebrities, the requirement is that there must be a clear inheritance, there must be a complete theory, there must be an exact origin of the characters, and all the celebrities after the primary selection will be printed in a special issue to make a brief introduction, including the names of the characters, places of origin, factions, sources of inheritance and surviving works and classics.

At the end of the supplement introduction of the 100 celebrities, it is specially noted that the 100 celebrities selected this time will be made to make a three-zhang high statue to be erected on the steps in front of the Xianyang City National Library, and because of the lack of funds for the construction of the library and the statue, the people of the whole country will be fundraised, and all the donations that reach more than 1,000 yuan will be named on the ten merit tablets and stand in front of the library for the people of the world to admire.

This activity of selecting 100 celebrities obviously has the democratic centralism with Chinese characteristics, because since the beginning of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, there are too many celebrities and wise men in China, and if there is no primary election, it is estimated that it will be a very big trouble to count at that time, and if 100,000 newspapers are issued and 50,000 votes are withdrawn, I am afraid that the number of people selected may be tens of thousands.

It's a pity that there are no photos, otherwise I would have posted the photos as well.

Although Chen Xu regretted this, the selection of 100 celebrities made Chen Ping almost fall into an inextricable madness.

China's first democratic election in history is about to begin.

And as the news of the newspaper spread, the disciples of the people, who had been raising money, soon fell into even more madness after being stunned by the sluggishness of short-term debts.

It was forced to start raising money, driven by morality, and fighting for the interests of the sect, and it was necessary to use money to push the ancestors of their own sect to the top of the library steps, and even occupy a good position.

But all of a sudden, it didn't work, and it turned into voting.

Voting is naturally the more disciples of the sect, the better, such as Confucianism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, Taoism, medicine, Huang Lao School and so on There are many disciples, naturally all of them are relieved, but then the merit tablet commemorates the name of the matter has made the internal chaos of each sect, and the original donors have to take back the money they raised and donate in their own private names, so many sects are fighting and quarrelling, and there seem to be signs of disintegration.

The Academy of Literature is more powerful than the civil quarrels, thousands of Qin celebrities gathered here, quarreling endlessly for the primary selection of the hundred who's who, according to Chen Xu's plan, select one hundred and twenty more mature and famous sect figures, but this number is completely insufficient to distribute, like soldiers, legalists, Confucianism, Taoism and other big sect celebrities, any one is famous, but some small sect celebrities are not famous at all, only some disciples of the sect know, and there are some celebrities although famous, Famous people like Gongsun Long, who are famous people, are almost disliked by hundreds of disciples at the moment, so on top of the primary selection of these figures, the entire Academy of Literature is like a frying pan, the history books are no longer compiled, the poetry books are not sorted out, and the classics of the hundred schools are not published, and all the work has stopped to participate in this controversy.

No matter how noisy the people were, Chen Xu didn't bother to care.

No matter how much you quarrel, there will be a result after all, because Chen Xu only gave Chen Ping three days of primary time, and under this pressure, there will definitely be a result.

And such a fanfare democratic election is not only a novelty for the people, but also a topic of conversation for the civil and military officials and emperors of Great Qin.

Using ballots to select a hundred sages of a hundred schools, using this method to arrange the order of a hundred schools, this is a completely unprecedented move, so the next day Chen Xu was surrounded by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, from the door of the court to the court, the emperor continued to speak, Chen Xu spent half an hour to make the original intention and process of this selection activity clear, and then there was no then, all the officials were tormented by Chen Xu's huge brain hole The brain was boiling, and then the court also fried the pot, A group of doctors and doctors who are in charge of making soy sauce on weekdays are even more excited.

"Master Hou, you can't agree with this selection method!" A doctor jumped out and waved a wat board and shouted excitedly.

"Why can't you agree!" Looking at this person's dress in a wide-sleeved robe with goose crown embroidered belts, Chen Xu knew that this was a Confucian disciple.

The group of doctors above the court are basically Confucianists, and the composition of the doctors is more complicated, but there are also many Confucian disciples, and these people are all die-hard fans of Chen Xu on weekdays, and they are responsible for waving the flag and shouting for Chen Xu's various recitals and decrees every time, but today this group of people is a little explosive.

"Master Hou, since ancient times, there has never been a ranking of celebrities, if you do this, isn't it a vicious trend of comparison, and in the future, won't whoever has more disciples be able to rank first?"

"Well, what's wrong with that?" Chen Xu nodded.

Seeing that Chen Xu answered so simply, the doctor stammered, "Master Hou...... Ask...... The question naturally is, if more disciples win alone, wouldn't they all go to open a museum to teach apprentices, and who would be willing to do learning? ”

"Hey, where did you come from if you don't become a scholar?" Another doctor refuted.

"In any case, the selection and ranking is not the right way, this matter has never been done before, and a certain opposition!" Another doctor shook his head loudly.

"Zhuzi created a hundred schools of thought, leaving countless precious classics for future generations to learn, which is the foundation of our prosperity in China, and should be passed down from generation to generation. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, and taking people as a mirror, we can know the gains and losses. Only by standing on the shoulders of these great sages can we stand higher and see farther, and can we assist Your Majesty in governing Great Qin well. Benhou built the library, is to circulate thousands of years in China tens of thousands of years of sage classics are all collected and preserved, for the world to learn and appreciate, instead of letting these knowledge fall hidden in the folk dust and then slowly cut off, these learning, some right, some wrong, some good, some evil, we do not want to force everyone to follow the words of a school, learn the principles of a school, but to slowly understand the taste in this many learning, to extract the essence of the rough, to keep the truth from the false, to leave the essence of the dross, Truly carry forward the splendid culture left by the Chinese sages, make Daqin prosperous and strong, and let the people of the world be proud to be born in this great country......"

Chen Xu's eyes swept over a group of excited doctors and doctors, and his face slowly became extremely serious.

"Ben Hou conducted this vote, it is not to arrange an order for the hundred sages, but the so-called law for everything, whether there is this ranking or not, Confucianism, Mohist, Taoism, Legalism are all recognized as strong schools, and I Daqin is also absorbing and integrating these many school theories, and finally there is Daqin is rich and powerful today, these are obvious to all, we want to inherit the knowledge of the sages, we can't exclude dissidents because of too many door views, Lao Tzu once said with Confucius: know its difference, is to see its surface; To know that everything is the same, is to know the origin. If you look at the same, you can play at the beginning of things. We have inherited so much of the knowledge and ideas of the sages, we need to understand it thoroughly, to know what the essence of the differences between different schools is, and then to learn and improve, not to be with others, others must not tolerate themselves, and those who treat others well, others will treat them well. Threesome, there must be my teacher, choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones......"

"A sage is a sage, and he will not have any joy and distress for his order and position, only those who chase fame and fortune will tirelessly chase the troubles of these ordinary people, Confucius said: I am also to others, who destroys whose reputation? If there is a reputation, it has a try. Therefore, Daxian are open-minded people, they will only do what they think is right, and will not care about the reputation of others. What about the final ranking? ”

"This library is a collection of millions of books of sages, passing on the knowledge of China for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, how many unknown ancestors have been sorting out and protecting these books, so that we can see them today, and can study and admire them together, are those who collate and write these books not great? Aren't they sages? Just like the thousands of scholars in the Faculty of Letters, they have worked day and night to sort out these books of the sages, proofread and typeset, print and distribute them, so that so many books of the sages can be produced and presented to us so well, are they not great......"

The more Chen Xu said, his face became more and more serious, and his eyes swept over the entire court hall.

The doctors who were originally excited and ready to have a good debate with Chen Xu also slowly relaxed, and many of them retreated to their seats in shame.

"Any sage who is erected in front of the library, is the glory of my China, there are countless sages who have not been selected, they are also the pride of our China, since the three emperors and five emperors, how many sages should I have in China, but how can we display them one by one, ordinary people compete for fame and fortune, but I am learning the knowledge of sages, to be an example of the world, how can we be like the people of the market chattering endlessly, the library is the place of worship for all the Chinese sages, and we inherit the sages to carry forward the knowledge of the templeAnd now, as doctors and doctors, as examples of disciples of hundreds of schools, you are so unreasonable, what kind of system is it to be noisy and noisy? ”

"And ......" Chen Xu's eyes were fixed on the faces of a group of doctors and doctors, "Everything always comes first and comes first, these hundred sage statues, he must have an order, the disciples of the hundred schools want to put the ancestors of their own sects in front, but how can everything in the world be thoughtful and everyone is satisfied, do you want to go to the street and fight with those unreasonable beings, if you want to go, Ben Hou is happy to watch the excitement on the wall!" ”

"Haha~~" There was a burst of laughter above the court, and some of them shouted, "Zhou Servant, I know that you have been unhappy with Chonglou for a long time, today you go to beat him, and cheer for you!" ”

"Hahahaha~" As soon as these words came out, the entire court immediately became relaxed and lively.

"Zuo Xiang's forgiveness is that Zhou has never learned the knowledge of the sages, and from now on, he will never mention the ranking of hundreds of schools again!" The doctor shot Zhou Qingchen, blushing and bowing his hand to Chen Xu, and then retreated to his place and sat down.

"Thank you Zuo Xiang for your teachings today, I'm ashamed!" A group of doctors who were originally excited all retreated in shame.

"Haha, good, good, the young master's remarks are deeply heartfelt, the library is a place to pay tribute to the sages, and what is placed in it is the knowledge of the sages, but the steps are limited, how can they be listed on it, all of you Aiqing are all famous people of all factions, and you should have the responsibility of educating the people, and you must be responsible for spreading the words of the young master, so that all the people in the world must put down their sectarian views, learn the knowledge of the sages, and make suggestions for the prosperity and strength of my Great Qin, this matter is stopped, and some government officials began to report ......"

Qin Shi Huang laughed happily and skipped the matter.
