The supplementary note is written after the words '50,000 people', perhaps because those words are too small for anyone to notice.

Not to mention those students who looked at the imperial list, even Zhang Shangying didn't see it clearly, and later, when he happened to look at the imperial list, he found that the content was written that 50,000 people was just the highest number, and if the level of candidates for the subject was too low, the number of admitted students could be reduced.

In the third year of Shaosheng, the tribute and the system ended in this disturbance, and from the overall result, it can be said that everyone is happy.

What really damaged is only the more than 600 people who won the Jinshi in the third year of Yuanyou and the sixth year of Yuanyou, you know, this year, the number of Jinshi in the tribute examination alone has exceeded the sum of these three subjects.

Moreover, the number of people recruited by the Erudite Dictionary Department seems to be very large, but it is not.

There are smart people, and it has been seen from the content of this subject that Zhao Xu must have wanted to completely overthrow the Zizhi Tongjian compiled by Sima Guang, but the name of this book was given by Song Shenzong, so the official family recruited so many candidates who passed the erudite Hongzhi course, which was to recompile the Zizhi Tongjian. In this way, more than 40,000 people is really not a lot at all.

Sima Guang used a lot of people to compile this book, but it took 20 years to do so.

Zhao Xu definitely can't wait that long, with the assistance of so many people, and with the model of Zizhi Tongjian, he will definitely be able to recompile this book in a very short time.

Fortunately, in today's Great Song Dynasty, there are not many people who are good at writing history books, the Su brothers, the Zeng brothers, especially Zeng Gong, although he is too old to hold the position of editor-in-chief, it is still okay to ask him for a few articles.

This is also Cai Dao's idea for Zhao Xu.

It is to take advantage of the fact that these people are still alive, and let these people write out the history of some key points in time. For example, Cai Dao said that Su Dabeard was better at the history of the Three Kingdoms period, while Su Shi was better at writing the history of the Warring States Period, and Zeng Gong could ask him to write the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties. As for the history of the Five Dynasties, the new History of the Five Dynasties compiled by Ouyang Xiu is not bad. There are also the Eastern and Western Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, which can be selected by competition.

As for the candidate for the editor-in-chief, Cai Dao didn't say much, Zhao Xu had his own preferences.

What's more, the ministers of the court still underestimated Zhao Xu's 'ambition'.

If, it is only a general knowledge of governance, it will not take 50,000 people at all.

Zhao Xu imagined that his ancestor Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi was compiling his own "Taiping Yulan".

This will be the second book of its kind in the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Xu will collect the world's strange books, out-of-print books, and compile them into a volume for himself and future generations to collect and read.

Who is the top three on the top three lists, Cai Dao is not clear.

However, there is one thing he can be sure of, there are a total of nine people in Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua, most of whom are flatterers and Chinese people. Otherwise, how could they break through from the tens of thousands of people and impress the little emperor?

That kind of topic can only be ranked as the top three if it is in line with Zhao Xu's mind.

However, none of this has anything to do with Cai Dao, he is busy with his own affairs at this time.

Now, Cai Dao is no longer in Bianliang City.

came to Wudang Mountain with his relatives, and in the end, Empress Dowager Zhu agreed to his request. After all, what he wants to do is good for the Great Song Dynasty and Zhao Xu.

In ancient times, whether it was the royal family or the government, large-scale construction projects always cost the people and money, on the one hand, the national treasury was wasted, and on the other hand, the uncontrolled conscription and forced labor were wasted.

If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, we have to add one more - the destruction of the natural environment. Because, in ancient China, large-scale buildings were not built of stone like in the West, and most of the buildings were basically built of wood.

But this time, the person who built a large-scale Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain was Cai Dao.

The project initiated by Cai Dao not only does not have the above three shortcomings, on the contrary, it can also stimulate the economy of the surrounding area, make the surrounding people rich, and the timber needed to build the Taoist temple is also purchased from abroad.

Since Cai Dao drove the Weizhou Island to the capital of the Cham Kingdom, the Cai family began to trade with the Cham Kingdom and the Zhenla Kingdom, and most of the items traded by the two sides were harvested from the inland areas - silk, ceramics and tea. And these two countries are nothing more than food and trees.

Southeast Asia has a suitable climate and a lot of rain, so the trees grow very quickly. Although most trees are not suitable for shipbuilding, they can be used to build buildings and make furniture.

Of course, these two countries also have a special product - elephants, Cai Dao only let them exchange for ten heads, and did not continue to exchange them back, which is used for ornamentation, and if it is used on the battlefield, the risk is too great.

After Zhao Xu learned about this from Dian's mouth, he was very interested, but after Cai Dao told him about the pros and cons again, he immediately lost interest in elephants.

This time, to build a Taoist temple group in Wudang Mountain, Cai Dao plans to build the main building with a brick and stone structure, although it is not as good as the original stone structure in the West, but it can also greatly prevent the occurrence of fires.

Cai Dao is certainly not as good as ordinary craftsmen in architecture, but he has a unique knowledge in construction, which surpasses all other craftsmen in this era, and this unique knowledge is the advanced experience of lightning prevention.

Cai Dao was rich, so he hired nearly 100,000 people near Wudang Mountain to work for him during the slack season, but only for a month, because it was about to be the spring ploughing season.

However, in the first month, the main work was to carry some construction tools that were easier to store up the mountain, and then start building roads in the mountains. After that, when the construction started, the construction workers were still up and down.

Every worker is in charge of three meals a day, and as for whether to bring his own children to eat, Cai Dao does not care about the people who arrange for the overseers, but if the gangsters and second-rate people in the township want to eat for nothing without working, these overseers will not spare them.

Those who wanted to paddle in it were also quickly pulled out.

These people are thieves who have accumulated in Taihang Village for many years, don't look at them as some old and sick people, they are not ambiguous at all. Those country bullies who are proud of their own martial arts have been cleaned up by these old thieves.

This incident even alarmed Su Zhe, the transfer envoy of Jinghu North Road, since this old gentleman took office, he has always been very troubled by the heroes and villains in Jingzhou Mansion. Unexpectedly, Cai Dao sent these old and disabled people to be so bad, so he found the main owner and wanted to borrow someone from him.
