"But I'm in a hurry?" His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Okay, you can talk about this fourth pipe." If you fill up the number indiscriminately, there will be no reward! ”

Xu Qilin arched his hand and said, "How dare Weichen deceive His Majesty's reward? The previous three pipes, His Majesty was wise and martial, and he must have thought of it a long time ago, just waiting for the time to launch. But this fourth tube is the originality of Weichen. ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Xu Qilin's confident appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Leave the best behind, you are slippery." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said: "The fourth tube of Weichen is to ask Your Majesty to set up a subject ......system in addition to the regular examination of the imperial examination."

The purpose of the so-called system of subjects, also known as special subjects and systems, is to prevent the regular examination from burying special students, and to select "non-long talents" to make up for the shortcomings and regrets of the regular subjects.

Historically, the system began in the third year of Yonghui of Tang Gaozong. And to say it now is indeed an original move.

To put it simply, the system is equivalent to the "special recruitment" of later generations. For example, the country is in urgent need of military talents, so it has set up a "foot security side department"; If you need a virtuous and upright talent, you should speak out......

The openness of the system is wider than that of the imperial examination, and the participants can be cloth clothes, can be those who have obtained the Jinshi, Mingjing, etc., or they can also be incumbent officials, as long as you think you have a specialty, you can be recommended to take the exam.

“…… After the initial test, you can also add the cabinet test, and finally your majesty will preside over the palace test, and add a few test essays. Those who are high in Wence will be specially awarded as officials, followed by ...... from birth"

Xu Qilin finished talking about how the system was established, the examination method and the impact of the role, and looked up at His Majesty Li Er. It's a bit of a dumbfounded, as if you're begging for a reward.

His Majesty Li Er had already listened attentively, brushing his beard and drooping his eyelids, falling into a long thought.

Ma Zhou was a little stunned at first, but the more he listened, the more appreciative he became. How to recruit talents without sticking to one pattern is a big step forward from the goal of "leaving no one behind".

Xu Qilin received the praise from Secretary Ma Dawei, nodded with a smile, and raised his eyebrows from His Majesty Li Er.

It was such a coincidence that His Majesty Li Er just raised his head and took in Xu Qilin's small movements.

This stinky boy is also tricky when he advises, and he still wants to get a reward! I also blamed myself for underestimating him, thinking that the three pipes would be over, but I didn't expect that there would be one tube in the end.

This has just been upgraded by three levels, and it will be a bit too fast to rise again.

His Majesty Li Er thought about it for a while, and said to Xu Qilin with a smile: "Qi Lin's fourth tube is excellent, but there are also fifth and sixth pipes?" ”

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and said, "It should have been, but I didn't think about it for sure, so I didn't dare to mention it." Wait for Weichen to go back and think about it, and then report to His Majesty. ”

Slick!

His Majesty Li Er knew that Xu Qilin was deliberately ambiguous in his answer, and he had some intention of waiting for the price to sell. But Xu Qilin's age is there, and Xu Qilin also intends to make this gesture, which really makes His Majesty Li Er unable to jump like thunder.

After pondering for a long time, His Majesty Li Er spoke: "In the final analysis, it still falls on the two major matters of papermaking and book printing. Breaking the monopoly of knowledge on the scholars is the most important thing. ”

After a pause, and facing Xu Qilin's slightly confused eyes, His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly and said, "Qi Lin, you don't have to go to the palace tomorrow to be on duty, and do a good job of papermaking with all your heart." Well, on the day of success, I will be rewarded for both achievements, and I will not be stingy. ”

Two rewards at the same time?! If you are promoted by two levels, the rank and rank will be equated.

Xu Qilin bowed down and thanked him, finalizing this matter first, saving His Majesty Li Er from paying the bill. In fact, he still has some slander in his heart. Why do other Qianniu prepare for themselves because they have a good father, and they have to climb up by merit?

Damn, it's unfair!

Xu Qilin bowed and walked out, still hesitating as he walked, whether to get movable type printing out and have a one-stop paper printing.

Without analysis and research, movable type printing is a more scientific technology than engraving printing, which saves time, labor and materials than engraving printing, and can be reused for single word typesetting, which occupies a small space and is easy to store and keep.

Of course, movable type printing also has a huge number of molds, a huge amount of investment in the early stage, and a low rate of return.

But from the government level, or with the support of the emperor, none of this is a problem.

Could it be that the towering Tang Dynasty can't even make a set of lead molds? As long as His Majesty Li Er has an edict, one hundred and eighty sets will not be a problem. What this body, that body, all come into one.

Oh, movable type printing requires a reader who knows at least 10,000 words to typeset, and no reader wants to be a typesetter?

It doesn't matter, His Majesty Li Er has a mouth, and the typesetter is in the fifth grade, do you see that the self-righteous reader is breaking his head, crying and shouting and rushing to do it?

Therefore, as long as the emperor orders and the government operates, there is no way for state-owned enterprises to do movable type printing. The effect is large, the initial investment is large, but it is definitely faster than engraving printing, the time is long, the number of books printed, and the cost will definitely be lower than that of engraving.

As for engraving printing, how to develop is how to develop. Folk printing workshops from the cost considerations, bibliophiles from the exquisite appreciation, then use engraving.

The most important feature of movable type printing is that it is fast. Like the imperial court newspaper or something, you have just engraved the plate here, and the plate has been arranged and started to be printed!

Xu Qilin slowed down and felt that it was very feasible. He likes this, puts forward an idea, makes an innovation, and leaves the rest to others to do, and he is idle, and he is indispensable to be rewarded.

Well, I can't go back today, I'll talk about it in a few days. Or, you can take the chicken feather as an arrow, and let the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry first make the wooden movable type. It's not enough to have movable type, you also have to have a wheel typesetter.

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin quickened his pace and walked towards the outside of the palace. As soon as His Majesty Li Er spoke, he gave himself a holiday. It's beautiful, it's free, and I want to fly!

Just as he felt physically and mentally refreshed, he walked forward briskly, and saw two Zhengtai in front of him, accompanied by palace people in front and behind.

Xu Qilin flashed to the side of the road and bowed his head. Master let you go first, go first and die first! Hum.

The two Zhengtai walked closer while talking, and one of them looked at Xu Qilin on the side of the road, and greeted him with a smile: "Isn't this Xu Xiaolang?" ”

Xu Qilin looked up and hurriedly bowed down, "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me." Li Zhi, the king of Jin, stretched out his hand and said, "You are on duty today?" Or do you want to go to the palace to do errands? ”

Xu Qilin replied: "Your Majesty is summoned to ask about some things. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Is it that sand table, or is it a map of the territory of ten thousand miles?" I like these two things, I often go to watch them, and I deduce them with Li Xin on the sand table! ”

Li Xin?! The son of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was loved by His Majesty Li Er, and was taken into the palace to raise him when he was four years old.
