Chapter 648: The Imperial Examination (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)

Luo Yi promulgated a holy decree and ordered talented people in the world to go to Xia Jingcheng to try their plans.

As long as you can pass the exam, you will have the opportunity to enter the court as an official, which can be said to be a shortcut to the sky. The most important thing is that there is no threshold for this holy decree, even if it is a poor student, it has the opportunity to enter the court.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the implementation of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, it has been very difficult for the children of the poor to get ahead. After all, all the power of the court is in the hands of the family, how can there be a chance for a poor family?

But now the situation is very different, because the world has changed masters. The former Great Sui has passed away, and now it is Great Xia, and its ruler has become the Luo family.

The so-called rivalry is only in the past, and if it is gradually becoming stable today, it is an excellent opportunity to need more capable people to govern the place for the imperial court.

In addition to this, the most surprising thing is the spread of movable type printing. This thing has been spread to the world for a few months, and the turmoil caused by this thing is not small.

If it had been before, someone had told the Maison that books could be easily promoted. The number of people who read books will also increase dramatically, and they may not believe it, or even make sarcastic remarks.

But now they know that this is the reality, and that books have lost their preciousness in the face of movable type printing. As long as there is a page of movable type, it can be reused and printed continuously.

If they didn't know that this was something that Luo Cheng had made, I'm afraid they would really be tempted to bring someone to the door and smash it, which is a big deal that will damage their foundation.

It was Luo Cheng, that terrifying man, who easily swept away the strong Li Tang. The strength of these families is not enough in front of Luo Cheng at all.

Besides, they didn't know that there were people who were not afraid of death and wanted to make trouble, but their results were not much different, they all ended up extremely miserable, and they had no power to fight back before Yan Yun's soldiers.

At this moment, they can only force the restlessness in their hearts, because they know very well what the consequences of doing it themselves will be. The family also understands the importance of strength, and now that their skills are not as good as others, how dare they shout at Luo Cheng?

The promotion of movable type printing is undoubtedly of great benefit to the children of the poor family. Because they were able to gain support at a smaller cost, Luo Cheng's move quickly won the support of the world's poor people.

After all, Luo Cheng's record is there, and he has also had many poems before, and his literary name is not small. Nowadays, there is movable type printing technology, which is naturally in the spotlight and is regarded as an idol by poor students.

Since ancient times, there have been stories of throwing pen to paper, and the case of Luo Cheng is incomparably distinct. Even if you are a scholar, you can also achieve great things, make meritorious achievements, and become famous.

Luo Cheng didn't know much about this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't mind. Because he just wanted to use this as a guide to tilt public opinion on his side.

The family is powerful, in fact, sometimes it is not in terms of force, but because they control public opinion. If you are not careful, you may fall into their way.

Rather than letting the family control public opinion, it is better for Luo Cheng to control it himself. Once something big happened to the ancients, there must be an omen, the so-called nursery rhyme, if there is no one behind to push it, Luo Cheng does not believe it.

Anyway, for the poor students, Luo Cheng gave them the opportunity, there was movable type printing in the front, and now it is the implementation of the imperial examination, regardless of the poor family can participate, choose the best among them.

If it weren't for the fact that the reality was too cruel, who would want to admit that they were inferior, even if they were from poor families. They never wanted to prove it, but they never had a chance.

The Maison does not do charity, in a way, they just try to maintain their position. If someone violates them, they will fight back.

From this point of view, they did not do anything wrong, but they are not on the side of justice. It is precisely because Luo Cheng and Luo Cheng's plans are contrary to each other that they can obviously only become counterexamples.

Of course, since there are families thinking about how to make a comeback, there are also families thinking about how to compromise with Luo Cheng. They are all smart people, and naturally know how big the difference in strength between the two sides is.

In the city of Chang'an.

This former capital of the Great Sui Dynasty no longer has the momentum it had before, and with the fall of the dynasty, it seems to have fallen into a deep sleep. But it's still huge because there are so many families here.

The Du family, as the natives of Jingzhao Duling, was one of them, and they were in the city when Luo Cheng captured Chang'an. also honestly chose to surrender, they didn't have the courage to fight against Luo Cheng.

Among the many families, the Du family is not the weakest, but they are not much stronger. It's just decent, but this is enough to ensure that their family's wealth and longevity will not fall into the world.

But after Luo Cheng broke through Chang'an, their situation was a little embarrassing, because they didn't take refuge in Luo Cheng for the first time, so naturally they couldn't enjoy too many benefits, let alone become a talker like the eldest grandson Wuji.

But the Du family still has ambitions, especially when they heard about the imperial examination, they summoned talented people from all over the world to enter Xiajing. This decree is not directed at anyone, as long as you have the ability, you will have a chance.

As a family, no matter how down-and-out you are, it is impossible not to have a few useful people. Their resource base is here, and their ability to cultivate scholars is much stronger than that of the Hanmen.

It is difficult for a poor family to give birth to a learned child, but in the family, most of them will be well educated. This is the foundation and the foundation of the Maison.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Du family, there is an old man and a young man, the old man looked at the young man, and said with some embarrassment: "This time is different from the past, my Du family can only rely on you."

"Keming, you went to Xia Jing this time to carry the expectations of everyone in my Du family, if you can be named on the gold list, the family will also be proud of it." The old man nodded slightly, and said in a solemn tone.

This young man is Du Ruhui, who will be very famous in the future, originally he would be recruited as an official in the early years of Yang Guang, but he happened to encounter the chaos in the world, and the matter was shelved.

Over the years, Du Ruhui has been at home in Taoguang and obscurity, until now he is named by the family. As the most knowledgeable junior of the Du family, he is undoubtedly burdened with many expectations, which he himself knows.

Listening to the advice of the elders in front of him, Du Ruhui saluted respectfully and replied: "If you are determined to go all out, this time you will go to Xiajing, and you will never weaken the name of my Du family and the title of the gold list."

As a husband, how can there be no Ling Yunzhi in his heart, and the same is true for Du Ruhui. Although he has not been out of office, his ambition is not low, and he has already made up his mind to make a career.

And these are exactly what Luo Cheng wants, the so-called historical figures, consciously sent to the door. This is the role of power, and there is no need for Luo Cheng to take the initiative to find it.
