Chapter Ninety-One: The Imperial Examination in the Autumn Period
Chapter 91 The Autumn Imperial Examination
Waiting for something to happen is about to happen, but it makes people feel a little tired, Li Shen is feeling like this now, and he always hopes in his heart that His Majesty Li Er can not do foolish things, but in the end he was persuaded by his own heart. The disappearance of the craftsmen represents a formal stop between them, and sooner or later it will come.
The disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Li Shen also knew that there must be rumors, which should have been concealed by officials from all over the country and dealt with by themselves.
Summer passed in a blink of an eye, and the two months passed a little quickly, and the autumn expedition officially began.
Although the current situation in Datang is a little turbulent, but the triennial autumn scientific examination, Li Shen still insists on it, the students in the college have studied for nearly a year, Li Shen has nothing to teach them, and the rest of the knowledge is only for them to learn by themselves, to check the information, and sometimes they only need to open a window to do everything.
Once they have mastered the knowledge, Li Shen doesn't need them to be able to transform the knowledge into items immediately.
After all, Datang has never had the slightest industrial foundation before, and now it is better to wait for those people in the academy to make things, it is better to wait for them to pass on the knowledge to more people, let them join in, and slowly carry out various research, and the speed is much better than the current little people.
With the arrival of the autumn examination, students from all over the country rushed to Chang'an City, began to go to Chang'an City from their hometown one after another, hoping to be the top in one fell swoop, glorifying their ancestors, although they have known that the imperial examination system has changed, but as long as they are admitted, it will be different sooner or later.
With the candidates from all over Chang'an City, the flow of people began to increase sharply, and all the inns became full, and only those candidates with poor family conditions lived in the simple accommodation provided by the imperial court, and basically chose to live in hotels with some conditions.
There is a restaurant that is also full of candidates, and the hotel, which had a lot of business declines, suddenly has a turnover that has increased several times, and Wu Meiniang is happy all day long.
Sitting in the private room on the third floor of the hotel, which is not open to the public, Li Shen looked at the street with a smile on his face, the candidates with a proud face of the spring breeze, talking to each other, listening to them talk more about some thoughts about the new regime, and nodded secretly, the propaganda of the newspaper is really a good thing, it can at least pass on the thoughts of the upper class, rather than relying on the word of mouth of others, these people who read can also understand every move of the court more quickly, and make some views on it.
Although there are few people in the Tang Dynasty now, but now in this era when capable people are produced in large numbers and ideas are not imprisoned, the Tang Dynasty has its unique charm, and this era is incomparable in any era, if you want to say that there can be a comparison, I am afraid that only China can be compared in the 20th century. In this era, it has given birth to too many talents, and they have written an indelible mark in history.
For every moment of Datang, Li Shen feels that it is changing, and slowly changing towards a better place.
There is no need to use firewood, although the whole Chang'an City is less of a smell of smoke from firewood, but there is a faint smell of coal, the smoke produced by coal, relatively speaking, is much less than firewood, and when it is time to cook, the smoke over Chang'an City has disappeared.
Two months passed, Li Shen didn't know what was going on, he felt as if he had changed as a different person, he didn't have the same heartless and lungless as before, he became like a monk who saw through the red dust, although he was a little depressed in his heart, he always asked him what was wrong? But I still can't get as interested in anything as I used to be.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Meiniang walked over with a big belly and asked with a smile.
Li Shen smiled and shook his head slightly, stretched out a hand to take Wu Meiniang's hand, helped her to sit down, and said, "It's been a few months, if I'm not mistaken, I'm about to give birth, why are you still running outside?" ”
"The concubine originally wanted to see you, but I didn't expect you to leave the palace, the concubine thought that you must have come here, sitting by the window and looking at the scenery on the side of the road, didn't this follow." Wu Meiniang said coquettishly, then reached out and touched her belly, and said, "It's almost over, I only let the imperial doctor see it two days ago and said that there are still fourteen or fifteen days to go." ”
"How dare you run out like that? What if you're going to give birth on the way, I think you'll do it? ”
"Isn't there more than ten days left!" Wu Meiniang replied with disgust.
"More than ten days, that's what the imperial doctor said, if it's early, what do you say?"
"Hey, hey! It's okay. By the way, Your Majesty, have you figured out the name of the child? ”
"Li Hong." Li Shen said lightly, there were some evil thoughts in his heart, even if history has changed completely, and now she is pregnant with his seed in her stomach, but she still doesn't want to give up this name, if Wu Meiniang continues to give birth in the future, she just completes the next few names.
"Li Hong?"
Li Shen nodded slightly, and said, "Hongyuan, Hongtu, broad-minded means." ”
"It sounds like a girl's name."
"If you're feeling bad, you can think of one."
"The concubine didn't say, Your Majesty, what do you think of this name?" Wu Meiniang said slightly hypocritically, but there was a hint of smugness in her eyes, how to say that the child's name was also given by the child's father, unlike other children, the names were given by their imperial grandfather, which can be said to be an honor or a favor!
"Well, when you weren't pregnant, I started thinking about it." Li Shen replied with a smile.
"You just like to tease concubines."
"I really didn't, I had already thought about it, what to lie to you, there is no need to lie to you."
Wu Meiniang leaned her head on Li Shen's arms, looked at the pedestrians coming and going below with a happy face, and muttered in a low voice: "If only it were like this forever." ”
"Say what?" Li Shen asked pretending to be stupid.
In fact, Li Shen also knows Wu Meiniang's character, and after getting along for so long, it is impossible not to understand it, Wu Meiniang's personality is actually similar to Pang Lan's Nizi, what she needs is to be able to have someone who can grow old hand in hand, and her desire for exclusivity is also very strong, but she was born in the wrong era.
