An autumn rain and a cold.

After the first autumn rains, the coolness gradually rose. The first scientific expedition of the Great Song Dynasty also came to an end in this coolness.

Some people are happy and some are sad about the results of the imperial examination. It's just that a few talents from Yan Shen came to participate in the imperial examination, and it is not surprising that they all fell off the list.

For such a result, it is not surprising that Wen Qihang is heard. Luzhong has always been a place where strongmen are rampant, and culture and education have never been prosperous. A flock of fish can 'a goose in the sky and a fish in the water.' The swan eats the fish, and the cook pretends to be a talent. This kind of limerick can be regarded as a place of good work, and it is difficult to make achievements in the field.

After the scientific examination, Wen Qihang knew the questions of the scientific examination as soon as possible, and the test questions were very simple, only two items.

One is an impromptu poem, and the other is a treatise on statecraft.

The former question still follows the thinking of the scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and the latter question has more or less the style of the scholars in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In short, there is not much new.

Wen Qihang didn't care about this, what he was most concerned about now was how to collect all the scholars who failed into the various academies. Although they are all famous scholars, but in these years, being able to read and write is already very remarkable, how can you ask too much.

If you want to use a computer and drive a car in your lifetime, talent pool is a very important thing.

"Have you counted it? How many people have signed up? In the front hall of the Jue's Mansion, Wen Qihang asked Zheng He about the number of applicants.

"Ninety-three." Zheng He has long been accustomed to Wen Qihang's style of doing things, and has always required accuracy for data.

"........" Wen Qihang frowned slightly: "Is this more or less?" ”

"The imperial court took the top three scholars, a total of thirty people. The rest of them did not have the title of the gold list, some of them went to Guozijian, and some of them signed up for our academy. Zheng He replied.

"That's just a little talent!" Smelling Qihang, he couldn't help but sigh. In an era dominated by the official position, the number of people who selected scholars and signed up for reference in the imperial court was less than 1,000, which shows how scarce talents are.

"This is not considered a talent........ right," Zheng He muttered. The best of them all went to become officials, and the second-class ones also went to the Guozijian for further study, and the rest of them could still go there.

Wen Qihang glared at Zheng He and said, "How many people have been selected by Guozi?" ”

"More than thirty people." Zheng He bowed his head and said.

"It seems that our academy is quite popular!" Wen Qihang said happily.

"After all, there are two Xiangguo in our academy, and Mr. Yan is sitting in the hall, and he can become their disciples........ I'm afraid I can't ask for it. Zheng He said truthfully: "What's more, there is also the name of the court inscribed by His Majesty!" ”

"........" is always disappointing when he tells the truth, and Wen Qihang glared at Zheng He angrily.

Zheng He coughed lightly: "Sir, how many people do you plan to recruit in our academy?" ”

"There is no limit to the number of people, as long as it is talented." Wen Qihang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to suppress the fire airway.

"There's got to be a standard, right?" Zheng He said.

Wen Qihang pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, we will also come up with two questions, and those who answer will be admitted." ”

"Poetry? Strategy? Zheng He had an idea.

Wen Qihang pouted and said, "Such a champion duke, let's leave it to the imperial court." ”

"Then we ........ test" Zheng He didn't finish speaking, and hurriedly changed his words: "By the way, keep it secret!" ”

"No need to keep it a secret." Wen Qihang shook his head and said: "It can be open and transparent, but the content and name of the dossier must be kept secret, especially the people who read the dossier, so that they can't know whose dossier it is." ”

"Huh?" Zheng He wondered.

"It's that the test paper has to be confused, but what to test, students can review in advance." Wen Qihang explained.

"The lord is clever." Zheng He complimented.

"Don't be a sycophant, hurry up and prepare." Wen Qihang explained: "Don't forget to publicize it in the newspaper, not only the academy recruits, but also the culinary college, the woodworking college and the medical school.

At the same time, put out the exam questions........"

"Release the exam questions........ So, like this, I'm afraid it will be cheating! Zheng He stammered.

"I'm not afraid of fraud, what we want here is that real gold is not afraid of fire." Wen Qihang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Zheng He wondered.

Wen Qihang said impatiently: "Ah what, ah! Memorize the topic and release it together, one is: what are you best at? The second is: what are your aspirations for the future? ”

"Just these two topics?" Zheng He was stunned.

"yes, that's all." Wen Qihang affirmed: "Merit-based admission, the top ten have scholarships, and after graduation, work will be arranged." ”

"Scholarship?" I can always hear new terms from Wen Qihang's mouth, although it is not strange, but always know what it means!

"Even if we don't have to pay the shackles, we also give them money to reward them." Wen Qihang explained.

"Ah........." Zheng He grinned.

Wen Qihang groaned: "Well, let's tentatively set it for a hundred years." ”

"A hundred? A year? Zheng He couldn't help smacking his lips. Not only does this study cost nothing, but it actually starts to make money! One hundred, although it is not much, but it is also a year's income of a family, and when will this study become rich.

"What else?"

Seeing that Zheng He was not leaving, Wen Qihang asked.

Zheng He eased his emotions for a moment, and said indignantly: "Ah, there is one more thing, Deputy Privy Wang has just sent someone to say that the imperial court wants to run a palace newspaper, and we need to collect the secret recipe for printing and papermaking. ”

"Hehe~~~" Wen Qihang couldn't help laughing.

"Sir, what are we going to do?" Zheng He said anxiously.

"Then give it to you." Smell Qihang sneered.

"Give!" Zheng He's eyes widened. Since the closure of Guanlou Village, the only money left in the Jue Mansion is the printing workshop, if the secret recipe for printing books and papermaking is sent out, the Jue Mansion is afraid that it will really drink the northwest wind in the future.

"However, they have to pay for it, and they can't give it away for free." Wen Qihang added.

"Buy? This won't work! Sir, if this is bought, then we will ......... in the future" Zheng He said incoherently.

"The imperial court wants to run a palace newspaper, I, as a courtier, of course have to support it, and refuse it completely, Your Majesty will be unhappy, but it is always okay to make amends." Wen Qihang said calmly.

"However, if the imperial court builds a printing workshop and a paper workshop, it will have an impact on us." Zheng He said worriedly.

"It's okay, 10,000 yuan, sell it to them." Smell the clapper road. Since you threw such a hot potato as a spokesperson to someone else, of course, you must be prepared to be blackmailed and bloodletting.

"Ten thousand?" Zheng He couldn't say whether the money was more or less. Say more, it's too much, but say less, it's less. After all, this is a deal that will last forever.

"Well, ten thousand!" Wen Qihang emphasized: "From now on, the secret recipe of our Jue Mansion can be sold, as long as a reasonable price is given." If you go to the newspaper, we will not only collect all kinds of secret recipes at a high price in the future, but also sell all kinds of secret recipes at a low price. ”
