90. Chapter 90: News of the Spring Exam

After returning home from Fireworks Alley, Tang Zhou put Lian Hongyao's picture of Jiangnan Spring into the study. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In fact, it was said to be a study, but Tang Zhou was very embarrassed.

This study room was there before, and there were a lot of books in it, but more of them were bamboo tubes or scrolls and the like, if Tang Zhou wanted to find a book to read in it, he would have to look for a long time every time, because these books did not have covers or anything like the books of later generations.

After putting the painting away, looking at these things, Tang Zhou sighed a little helplessly, now that the affairs of the West Market Inn have entered the right track, with the help of Cheng Chumo and Song Xiaoyu, there should be no problems, then his next thing is to help Cheng Chumo do movable type printing.

To do movable type printing, the first thing he needed to do was to find out all the different characters in the Four Books and Five Classics, arrange them, and then use them to engrave.

Tang Zhou rarely came into this study, so it was a bit troublesome to find out the Four Books and Five Classics, but with his efforts, he finally found these nine books.

After finding out, he recorded them one by one, and after the sky darkened, Tang Zhou finally recorded all the words used in the Four Books and Five Classics, and then he found Tang Duo.

"Steward Tang, help me find some lead tomorrow."

Tang Duo bowed his head, but asked with some doubts: "What does the little marquis want to do with the lead?" ”

"The Holy Lord wants Cheng Chumo and these sons of the family to go to the Hanlin Academy to copy books, and I will help him."

Tang Zhou said indifferently, but Tang Duo was still puzzled, but he didn't continue this question, but asked, "Is the little marquis going?" ”

"I've already inherited the title, so naturally I don't have to go."

Tang Duo sighed, and then prepared to take the order, this kind of thing appeared very early, although it was expensive in the Tang Dynasty, it was not difficult to buy, but at this time, Tang Zhou suddenly said: "That's it, tomorrow help me recruit a few craftsmen who can carve." ”

Tang Duo bowed his head, this time he really left.

And after Tang Duo left, Tang Zhou showed a slight smile, originally movable type printing is a good thing, he doesn't want others to know, if he can use this thing to make money, it is naturally a good thing, but thinking that there are too many words in the four books, five classics and nine books, he is unlikely to finish carving in one day, so he thinks it is better to find a few people to share it.

Just when Tang Zhou was thinking like this, Qin Shu suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, Qin Shu came to the study, holding a bowl of soup in his hand, and said: "The little marquis is so diligent and studious, Erniang is really pleased, if the lord can see the little marquis working so hard, he will definitely be very happy." ”

Tang Zhou was a little speechless, he was in the study to read diligently, but he was just reading the words on the book, but he didn't say much, and hurriedly smiled: "Erniang hasn't rested yet?" ”

"I stewed a bowl of ginseng soup for you, you drink it while it's hot, and in half a month it will be the spring test season of my Datang, you have to make up for it."

"Spring exam?" Hearing Qin Shu's words, Tang Zhou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, secretly wondering if this spring exam was the so-called imperial examination after the Song Dynasty?

Qin Shu bowed: "That's right, every year in the late spring, my Tang Dynasty has to pass the spring examination to select talents for the imperial court, although you noble sons have a title, but if you want to enter the court as an official, it is not so easy." ”

For what Qin Shu said, Tang Zhou naturally also understood, the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty, most of the ways to enter the court as an official were Shiqing Shilu, or military merits, if you want to be an official, in addition to being born in a good family, the rest of the way is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Or, you can get the recommendation of other officials, and then the court will evaluate these people, and if you want to get the recommendation of the senior officials of the court, you must invest in the bank.

However, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was easier to enter the court as an official than before, and some children of the poor family could also participate in the examinations held by the imperial court as long as they had real talent and real learning, but if they wanted to win, they must have absolute talent.

And most of these people also want to invest in the bank papers, and if they invest in the bank papers and are favored by the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, then he will become the protégé of this official.

A son with a title like Tang Zhoucheng Chumo, it is much easier to enter the court as an official than those children of a poor family, maybe he only needs his father or elders to mention a sentence or two in the court, and even many times the emperor sees that you have taken the title, and directly gives you an official.

Of course, the premise of these is that you have someone to speak for you in the DPRK, but if not, you should still invest in the bank.

After listening to Qin Shu's words, Tang Zhou already somewhat understood what Qin Shu meant.

"Erniang wants me to be an official?" Tang Zhou asked tentatively.

Qin Shu showed a hint of surprise and said, "Little Marquis, you locked yourself in the study to read these books, isn't it for the sake of entering the court as an official?" ”

Tang Zhou was a little speechless, his behavior was actually misunderstood by Qin Shu, in fact, he likes to be leisurely, he has to get up early after becoming an official in the court, and he has to be busy with all kinds of things, he really doesn't like it.

But he knows very well that if he wants to live well in this era, he must have power in his hands.

So he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, what Erniang said is very true, I really want to study hard in order to prepare for entering the court as an official in the future." ”

"Alright, alright, let's drink this ginseng soup, don't look too late."

Saying that, Qin Shu brought the bowl to Tang Zhou, then turned around and left, as if he was afraid of delaying Tang Zhou's hard study.

Qin Shu twisted his waist when he left, and his delicate body made Tang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in the back, especially after drinking ginseng soup, he made a lot of supplements, but he finally resisted the impulse in his heart.

As for Tang Zhou's performances, Qin Shu, who had already turned around, naturally couldn't find out.

The study slowly quieted down again, Tang Zhou thought about what Qin Shu had just said, and for some reason suddenly thought of Li Shimin's matter of getting those powerful sons to copy books in the Hanlin Academy.

This matter is very strange, Li Shimin has always been very conniving with these powerful sons, after all, the more they mess around, the more comfortable Li Shimin is at these powerful people, if they are all more shrewd than the other, I am afraid that Li Shimin will also feel insecure.

But this time, why did he suddenly get these powerful sons to the Hanlin Academy, could it be that he wanted to cultivate them, this is obviously a little unlikely.

At first, Tang Zhou didn't feel much strange about this, but now he had vaguely guessed something, but could Li Shimin achieve what he could achieve by doing this?

The power of the powerful family is very strong, and their influence is also very great, Li Shimin shouldn't be unable to see the form, right?
