The carriage bumped all the way back to the Qinghe Hotel, and Huangfu Que had indeed returned, and brought back ten men dressed as Confucians, the younger ones were about twenty-five or sixteen, and the older ones were only about forty years old.

"Come in!" Chen Xu walked into the lounge and sat down in the outer living room, and Huangfu Que, Qiu Cheng, Li Shun and ten scribes also walked in nervously.

"Master Hou, these are all friends I used to know, and they often communicate and tell stories together, with flexible minds and smooth writing, and several of them have done some pen duties in the government and some adults' mansions."

"Langya Bachelor Fu An visits Master Hou!"

"Hedong Bachelor Ji Tong visits Master Hou!"

"Sanchuan Bachelor Pang Que meets Master Hou!"

……

The ten scribes all bowed to Chen Xu one by one and then took their seats, and then looked at Chen Xu together.

"I'm going to run a newspaper, so I need an editor-in-chief, a couple of editors-in-charge, and then a couple of reporters......"

"Master Hou, what is a newspaper?" Huangfu Que couldn't help but interrupt Chen Xu's words.

Chen Xu glared at Huangfu and said, "You have all seen the decrees and official documents transmitted by the imperial court!" ”

"I've seen it!" A group of people all nodded in unison.

"It turns out that the decree and the official document are made of bamboo and wood slips, because it is inconvenient for the bamboo and wood slips to write words, and the number of words written too much will cause the bamboo and wood slips to be too large and too heavy, and it is very inconvenient to pass them back and forth, so both the official documents and the decrees are like gold, causing reading difficulties, which is not the same as what we usually speak, and many need to be carefully scrutinized to understand the meaning, which you should know very well if you have been a knife and pen!"

"Hou Ye is right, when we were pen officials, our main task was to write down all kinds of orders in the most concise words, and the meaning should be clear and understandable, this is all because of the restrictions of bamboo and wood slips, but now with hemp pulp paper, this problem is basically gone, so we all lost our errands!" A man in his thirties said with a wry smile.

Chen Xu nodded: "Well, it is precisely because of the paper, it is convenient and brisk to write, and a large amount of content can be written on a piece of paper, so the original situation of cherishing words like gold is gone, and people are more relaxed to read, and they don't need to carefully scrutinize word by word to understand the meaning, and the newspaper I run is to use the advantage of paper to collect and record some things that happen to the people on the paper, and then distribute them to the literate people to read and watch. From court decrees to folk anecdotes, from ancient legends to future fantasies, natural and man-made disasters, harvest celebrations, military politics, medical pharmacopoeia, hundreds of opinions, subsets of scriptures and history, poems and songs, gonzo, farming, animal husbandry, stories, all the places of Kyushu and the four seas, including the Central Plains barbarians in all directions, many things can be recorded on it, gathered together so that people can understand everything that happens in the world through a newspaper, this is the literary media, so it is required to be easy to understand, vivid and interesting, Moreover, it is required that the things described and written can let the reader not only know the scenery of China and the grandeur of the four seas, but also know the principles of heaven, the righteousness of humanity, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the virtue of benevolence and righteousness......"

Every time Chen Xu said a word, the people in the room had more shock on their faces, and their mouths grew a little longer, and when Chen Xu finished his tirade, there was a dead silence in the room, and only a thick wheezing sound could be heard, and it seemed that there was a fierce beast in everyone's heart that was about to jump out and roar up to the sky.

"Hou ...... Hou Ye...... This certainly sounds exciting, but in order to include so much and so much content in one newspaper, I am afraid that it will take tens of thousands of sheets of paper to record it, not to mention distributing it to the world, even if it is only one volume, it will take countless years and months! After a long time, Huangfu asked the biggest doubt in everyone's hearts.

"Hehe, you guys think about this matter too complicated, the newspaper I'm talking about is not a one-time catch of all these things, but a copy every ten years, this one will be divided into several sections, such as the news real-time section, which records the things that happened in Daqin and even the border barbarian land in the past few months, the closer the time is, the better, and the more important the matter, the better......"

"The content of the 100 opinions section is naturally to promote different remarks, and when the time comes, invite all celebrities to write the content, and we will review it, if it does not involve the content that threatens to destroy my Great Qin rule, it can be published on it at that time, so that everyone in the world can see it."

"The Gonzo section, the content is to publish all kinds of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign ancient or current Gonzo stories, and strive to be novel and interesting, which can also be collected and sorted out, and the contributors who write well will be rewarded, and the story section can also be handled in the same way."

"The farming world plate is mainly to bring together the opinions of farmers all over the world, guide farming, fruit and vegetable planting, agricultural tool manufacturing, irrigation and drinking water, and cultivation of improved seeds, and guide farmers how to intensively cultivate ......"

"The military and political section, the content is to publish some political affairs and military actions that occurred in the court and local counties, such as suppressing bandits, wanted, such as building Chidao canals, etc., of course, such as the military operation to conquer Henan released by the court today, can also be published......"

"Because the newspaper is mainly based on current affairs, we publish an issue every ten years, and a period may only have tens of thousands of words, but these contents must be carefully selected and then carefully arranged, so that there are thirty-six issues in a year, and the number of words will also reach hundreds of thousands or even millions. He was honored by future generations and praised for eternity......"

Chen Xu once again offered the reason for fooling Xu Fu at the beginning, and suddenly turned the eyes of a room full of cultural gangsters who had been mixed in Xianyang red.

This Qiu Cheng and Fu An are a few of the group of monks who went to An Yuliang to inquire about the situation after the Ziyunxian tea was transmitted to Xianyang, Ji Tong and Pang Que are also better than Huangfu on weekdays, these people did not come to Xianyang, and they were not big or small celebrities in their respective hometowns.

After the unification of the world, these people have nowhere to take refuge, so they all want to go to Xianyang to promote their theories, hoping to see the emperor one day to be appreciated, and then add officials to the court, but unfortunately when they come to Xianyang, they find that there are too many celebrities in Xianyang, and they can bite several celebrities if they let a dog go out, so these people can only make a living in some mansions.

But just when the more and more miserable it became, today he was summoned by the famous Qinghe Marquis, and as soon as he met, he sprinkled such a large handful of dog food, so the desire in everyone's hearts was completely stimulated.

And everyone's first reaction to this matter is that it will inevitably succeed, and it is impossible for Qinghe Hou to take the lead in not succeeding, he is a disciple of the Immortal Family, and there are still rumors outside that when Henan is swept away, it will be when Qinghe is crowned as a prince.

The ancient three dukes, the status was respected, and even the emperor had to perform the disciple ceremony.

This honor has been descending for thousands of years, and only Taigong can hope to get it.

And when I thought of becoming a subordinate of the imperial master, it would be appropriate to follow the promotion and fortune to leave a name in history, so everyone couldn't sit still at all, panting and blushing one by one.

"Master Hou, I'm ...... I...... I don't want to be the director of Qinghe Garden, I want to be the editor-in-chief! Huangfu stood up with smoke puffing through his nostrils.

"No, it's not easy for you to get acquainted with the business of Qinghe Garden, who will do it if you don't do it, this matter is not allowed!" Chen Xu directly refused.

The emperor sat on the chair with a disappointed face.

"Master Hou, what about us?" Fu An, Ji Tong and others all scrambled to stand up.

"I summoned a few of you here for this matter, I will ask each of you a few questions separately, and then confirm whether you are qualified for the job of the newspaper according to the content of the answer, you all go out, and then the imperial manager will help me call in one by one!"

"Yes, Master Hou!" Fu Anjitong and the others bowed and bowed and then exited the room, leaving only the emperor missing.

"Master Hou, just let me be the editor-in-chief, I especially like the newspaper you said, I promise nothing will go wrong!" The emperor is not dead yet.

"Don't even think about it!" Chen Xu waved his hand and his face became serious, "You have a flexible mind and a thoughtful attitude, but you lack some stability, and you are a little impatient when you encounter things, but you can't hide the flaws, Qinghe Garden, you manage it very well, so you can't leave for the time being, today's interview is very important, you stay and watch and hear carefully, in the future, Qinghe Hotel may open all over the dozens of counties in Daqin, with tens of thousands of employees, and every place needs to recruit a few stewards and important positions, you can use my model to do some simple understanding, it doesn't matter how much you read, The important thing is the method and style of doing things, and the most important thing is to apply the quantity! ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Huangfu had no choice but to agree.

"Get one in for me!" Chen Xu nodded.

Huangfu Que stood up and walked to the door: "Brother Fu An, come in!" ”

Fu An walked in again with a little trepidation, and sat down after carefully saluting Chen Xu again like an employee who would submit a resume interview in the future.

After the emperor closed the door, he also sat next to him and began to listen.

"Where are you from? How many people are in the family? What did you do to make a living before? Chen Xu looked at Fu An and asked.

Fu An groaned slightly and finished answering.

"What do you like to do in your spare time?"

Fu An thought for a few seconds this time before answering: "Back to Master Hou, An's hobby in his spare time is reading!" ”

"Which one of the celebrities of the past and present is your favorite?"

Fu An was silent for a longer time this time, and thought for more than ten seconds before saying: "An's most revered person is Goujian, the king of Yue, as the king of the dead country, he endured humiliation and burden, and finally became the overlord with three thousand armor soldiers swallowing Wu. ”

"Now that Great Qin dominates the world and the Six Kingdoms are gone, if there is a strong man like Gou Jian, will you assist him?" Chen Xu asked lightly.

"No!" Fu An shook his head directly.

"Why?" Chen Xu looked at Fu An directly.

"The world has been decided, the first emperor is the overlord of the world, that is, the monarch, and there is no king or grandson in the six countries who dares to oppose him, this is the common understanding of the world's celebrities, otherwise we will not gather in Xianyang."

"Are you saying that all the celebrities who come to Xianyang are basically your kind of thoughts?" Chen Xu asked.

"Yes, the general trend of the world is like a river flowing eastward, taking advantage of the people's hearts, the people have long been tired of the princes fighting for hegemony, the king of Qin Fen first Wang Yu Lie and swept away Liuhe, hundreds of scholars are celebrating and encouraging to gather in Xianyang, just want the emperor to be able to adopt their own way of governing the country, but unfortunately now the Great Qin is the only magic, I and so on hard to ask for and can not be summoned by the emperor, now the Great Qin, the only magic is not right, although An Luotuo, but also has a blood, if you can help Hou Ye to run a good newspaper, you can also show what you have learned, I hope to be able to contribute to the strength of Daqin! When it comes to governing the country, Fu An did not hesitate at all.

"Do you really think so?" Chen Xu's expression was serious.

"Yes, Master Hou, if it weren't for someone Fu who thought so, everyone who knew me wanted to be able to serve the emperor with what he had learned, but unfortunately I and other small schools were not well-known and couldn't see Your Majesty!" Fu An's expression was a little stunned.

"Okay, last question, why is there a man walking on the beach and looking back and not seeing his footprints?"

Uh~, Fu An's face was sluggish, and he thought for a long time and shook his head with a wry smile: "Master Hou, An doesn't know!" ”

"Well, you go down first and think about it, don't ask others, think about it and tell me the answer, you go out first!" Chen Xu picked up the teacup and said.

"Yes, Ann retires!" Fu An stood up, still thinking about Chen Xu's last question over and over in his mind, and almost hit the door in a daze before he came to his senses.

"Call the second!" Chen Xu put down the teacup.

……

This interview didn't take long, it took less than three minutes for one person, and the questions asked by Chen Xu were almost the same as Fu An's, but everyone was a little lost when they finally walked out, because Hou Ye's last question was completely imaginative, and the people who asked it were confused, and their brains were in a state of chaos, and almost no one could answer.

For example: What is the secret of longevity?

For example, if a person borrows 20 yuan from A and B to buy a piece of linen, spends 37 yuan, and after repaying each of A and B, he has one money left, at this time he should owe A and B 19 yuan each, 19 + 19 + 1 = 39 money, and ask where is the other money?

For example, there are 100 chickens and rabbits, and the number of legs of chickens is 28 less than that of rabbits.

For example, if there is an elephant, how can you accurately weigh it if you can't kill it?

The last interview was Li Shun, looking at his frightened and excited appearance, Chen Xu only asked him one question: "Are you afraid of death?" ”

"A certain husband is not afraid of death!" Li Shun replied with bated breath.

"Okay, you go to the Academy of Sciences tomorrow to find me, I will arrange an errand for you, if you do this well, I will promote you to be the reporter director of my newspaper!"

"Master Xie!" Li Shun went out happily.

At this time, a group of people after the interview were standing in the corridor outside and whispering, asking each other about the last question of Qinghehou, and then rolling their eyes at each other and almost picking out their brains.

These questions can be known to future generations of primary school students, but after hundreds of thousands of years after appearing in the Great Qin Empire, these questions can be called poison, no matter how smart these scribes who are familiar with the subset of scriptures and histories are, they can only stare dryly, and Chen Xu has reminded that the answer can only be thought of by himself, not asked by others, so although everyone has communicated with each other, these questions can not be thought of.

What's more, these are a group of scribes who don't study mathematical problems very much, not to mention the chickens and rabbits in the same cage and the elephant problem, and it is even more confusing to face the shameless problem of brain teasers.

"Huangfu is in charge, you let them all go back, and go to the Academy of Sciences to find Sun Shujiong at the end of tomorrow!"

After sending a group of people away, Huangfu ran in impatiently, scratching his ears and cheeks, and asked, "Master Hou, what is the answer to the last few questions you asked them?" What's the use? How do I feel unreliable? ”

"Who says it's unreliable, the last few questions are to test their ability to observe and apply the daily details of life, of course, more to test their ability to adapt to changes, as for the answer...... Hey! ”

Chen Xu threw his robe out of the room with a flick of his robe, leaving only the confused Huangfu Que alone in a daze.
