"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, and the saint will push the new deal again!"

"A must-see issue of "Dashun Minbao" for showmen!"

"The newspaper related to the next imperial examination, how can the talents not look at it!"

……

Early in the morning, there were newsboys shouting on the streets and alleys. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info these newsboys seem to be self-taught, and they will actually be sold. Although this advertisement is a bit rusty, it is also a pioneering act, and it does bring higher income to the newsboys who can shout advertisements. When the atmosphere came, the newsboys couldn't stop, and the advertising words were turned into new tricks every day. In this way, it aroused the curiosity of most of the people, even those who are illiterate, will spend two copper plates to ask for a copy, pretending to look at them twice. If it is exposed, you can also find some excuses: "I'm not looking at the painting above, the painting is so exquisite, two copper plates, it's worth it!" ”

More people are accustomed to going to the restaurant and teahouse, where there are not only newspaper sellers, but also newspaper doctors who are specially invited to read newspapers. While drinking tea, listening to national events, when you are excited or depressed, you can still say a few words, and you will not say that it is a vain talk about state affairs, after all, it is different from the time of the first emperor.

"Wait, this Xiucai brother, don't you want to buy a copy of "Da Shun Min Daily" and take a look, the emperor has launched a new policy again, it seems to be related to the imperial examination?" This is a scene that happened in Linchuan Mansion on Jiangnan West Road, a little newsboy called a Xiucai who was about to hurry.

This Xiucai was dressed in a cyan Confucian shirt, looking in a hurry, impatiently took out two copper coins, and said, "Take it!" ”

The newsboy was overjoyed to see that he was willing to buy it, and even ignored the dissatisfaction in his words. was extremely quick, and carefully took out a newspaper and handed it to Na Xiucai. Xiucai took the newspaper and hurried away.

After the show left, the newsboy happily put away the two copper coins, which were hard-earned money that could help a lot of households. After collecting the money, the newsboy continued to shout: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the saint will push a new deal, and next year will open Enke!" ”

The newsboy walked along the street, but he didn't see that Xiucai was walking and reading the newspaper at the same time. After a cursory glance at the contents, Naxiu folded the newspaper and quickened his pace to walk out of the city.

When he came to about two miles outside Linchuan Mansion, a small farmhouse with elegant and unique scenery appeared in front of him. After pushing away the firewood, Xiucai said in astonishment: "Daddy, eldest brother, uncle, Father Ji, why are you all here?" ”

There are four people sitting in the courtyard, the first one, is the famous Linchuan Mr. Wang Anshi, as well as his eldest brother Wang Anguo, and the fourth brother Wang Anli.

"Side, don't you want to give Uncle Cong a courtesy? This kid is really uneducated, alas......"

Xiucai hurriedly said to Wang Anguo, Wang Anli saluted: "I've seen my uncle, I've seen Ji's father." ”

"The nephew is in a hurry, there must be something to say to my brother, should we avoid it?" Wang Anguo said with a smile.

This talent is called Wang Bian, the second son of Wang Anshi, who has a similar pronunciation to his eldest brother Wang Yan, but his personality and intelligence are very different. Wang Yan is talented and intelligent, and he never forgets it. But Wang Fang has no talent for reading, and likes to wear Confucian shirts on weekdays, but in fact, there is not much ink in his stomach.

Seeing Wang Anguo say this, Wang Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle said that he laughed, although this matter is a major event, it is a state affair ......."

Before his words fell, Wang Anli said: "But the Holy Emperor Kaienke and the matter of promoting the new policy?" ”

Wang's eyes widened: "Father Ji also knows?" This question is a bit lacking in IQ, since he already knows it, how could Wang Anli not know? Coincidentally, Wang Bi has never liked to read, but he knows that his father Wang Anshi intends to become famous. Affected by the Taiyuan Wang family, no one in the entire Wang family was an official. Although the ancestral land is quite rich, the family is well-off. But in this era, no matter how much land you have as an official, it is just criticized.

Wang Pan doesn't like to read, but he likes to be vassal, especially like tea. Recently, the teahouse in Linchuan Mansion has added a tea doctor who reads the newspaper, and when he heard it, he thought that his father didn't know, and he couldn't even drink tea, so he went straight to his home. But he didn't expect that Wang Anli would know about this earlier than him. You must know that Jingzhao Mansion is a day's journey from Linchuan, and the "Dashun Minbao" is non-stop, and it will be transported by post road, and it will arrive every other day. Why is Wang Anli's news so well-informed that he knew about it earlier than him?

Wang Anli seemed to know the doubts beside the king, and said with a smile: "Father Ji has a few friends from the court, and they sent the news. ”

Only then did Wang Fang understand what was going on, and blurted out: "Daddy, two uncles, eldest brother, you are highly educated, you can take this opportunity to win fame!" ”

Wang Yan snorted coldly and said, "Second brother, you think too simply. The ten official systems of the saint are going to offend all the talents in the world. This time, Enko is just a trick to buy people's hearts. Counting the second class six, but nine people can get an official body, what is the use of such an Enke? ”

"Eh, Yuan Ze is biased when he says that. In my opinion, this move by the Holy Lord can clear up the maladministration, and it will be beneficial for a thousand years! Wang Anguo said with a smile. Wang Yan's cousin Yuan Ze, Wang Anguo, as his uncle, naturally wanted to call him the character.

Wang Anshi has great ambitions, how could he not know the truth. It's just that it happened to him, and he was a little dissatisfied. If you have been a jinshi before, you will have an official body, as long as you wait for a real shortage. Now the second class and below the sixth grade, all of them are Xu officials, and they are said to be ten-grade officials, but the nature has not changed at all, how can this be accepted?

Wang Anshi is confident in high school, but he is not the first in Wen and Wu Wu, and he is not sure of his ranking. If you really become a Xu official, wouldn't you laugh at the township and increase the laughing stock in vain!

Wang Yan said: "You can teach me and other scholars, isn't it overkill to be this cheap official?" ”

Wang Anli shook his head and said, "The Holy Lord's move is intended to find government talents. Beside you, did you buy "Da Shun Min Daily"? Take it out and show it to your eldest brother, there is an analysis of the Da Shunmin Newspaper in it. ”

Wang was stunned for a moment, took out the folded copy of "Da Shun Min Bao" from his sleeve, and asked puzzledly: "How could Father Ji know that his nephew bought the newspaper?" ”

If the king didn't buy a newspaper, why would he rush to his house and talk about it as soon as he entered the door? Wang Anli was just a simple reasoning, but Wang was shocked. Wang Anshi looked at this unsuccessful son and sighed. Wang Anguo and Wang Anli glanced at each other, both understanding what the other party meant, but they didn't speak.

Wang Yan took the "Dashun Minbao" and read it word by word. There is no way, the habit of readers in this era is like this, because the ancient text is difficult to understand, and you have to chew the words. Although "Dashun Minbao" uses the vernacular, this reading habit is difficult to change for a while. (To be continued.) )
