Chapter 96: Prelude (2)
The hot topic in the capital now is the night banquet in Qujiangchi.
From the officialdom to the common people, as well as those literati and writers in the middle, they all had a strong interest in this night banquet.
The literati still attach great importance to this feast, Emperor Li San has not held such a grand banquet for more than ten years, and every time such a banquet is indispensable for the participation of literati, Li San likes poetry and songs, or the people of the Tang Dynasty love poetry and songs, how can there be no few literary giants to support the scene on this occasion.
Therefore, a royal banquet like this, inviting literati to it, basically became a poetry competition.
Of course, this kind of banquet is not something that any casual literati can come, at least it is famous, but Li San doesn't have to worry about this, these are all for Jing Zhaoyin to do.
The reason why the literati attach so much importance to it is that the closer to the emperor, the faster the official career, and the people still remember that in the twenty-fourth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Luoyang candidate Sun Liang became famous in one fell swoop because of a poem at the lantern festival held by Li Longji, and was favored by the emperor.
It is a recognized fact that it became a common practice in the Tang Dynasty, and I think that Wang Wei was able to become the champion because of the recommendation of Princess Yuzhen, and the relationship between them is not enough for outsiders. Therefore, the students who come to Beijing to take the exam want to be famous in this capital, once the fame is out, it is possible to be favored by the princes and officials, if they are accidentally recommended by powerful people, it is difficult to fail the exam.
Just like Wang Wei, he can compose poetry at the age of nine, his painting is very good, and he knows the rhythm of music, he can be said to be an all-round talent, and he has long been famous in the capital, so Li Longji's younger brother Li Longfan was attracted by Wang Wei's paintings and was shocked, so he recommended it to Princess Yuzhen.
Having said so much, it is enough to see the desire of the literati of the Tang Dynasty for fame, some people even came to Beijing a few months or half a year in advance, and some came to Beijing for as long as a year, the purpose is to mix fame, regardless of whether they are talented or not, literati, there is a special arrogance, there is a very self-confidence, and I always feel that those famous masterpieces can be written by themselves, and sometimes I even feel that they are too much, and the literati are light, which is a common disease.
Therefore, there are some candidates who come from other places to take the Jingzhaofu exam every year in the capital now, and it is not for nothing that they stay for several years. Just like the arrogant poet Chen Wenxuan, his ancestral home is Jiangning, but he has not left Beijing for more than ten years, although his fame has been mixed, but he is arrogant, and the ordinary dignitaries and nobles disdain it, and he has always been mixing fame, where there are literati, there is Chen Wenxuan.
This kind of person is a bit stupid in the eyes of those students, he came to Beijing to become famous, and he was a jinshi, what are you trying to do, if you don't become an official, can your reputation be used as food?
However, the literati are sure that this lonely poet will definitely go to Qujiangchi to join in the fun, and if you think about it with your legs, you can guess it.
The night banquet of Qujiangchi has naturally become a treasure for the literati, and you have to go in if you squeeze your head, in case you are valued by a high-ranking official, this official career, hum, not to mention that it is particularly flat, Zhongjin Shi is indeed trivial.
Jingzhao Mansion Qin County Order naturally became the object of scramble among the literati, the rich stuffed money, the talented stuffed poems, in short, Lao Qin after cracking the wanted criminal Su Boss, the scenery for a while, and the emperor gave such a good position, it is more proud, in line with the fair, just, open attitude, first collect money in the style of talking, Qujiangchi tickets are slowly being sold.
In this way, it is easy to form an atmosphere, the literati can increase their value by adding talents to the royal banquet, and the officials can also improve their status, see it, Lao Tzu often plays happily with the emperor, how can you ordinary people understand?
This matter is still quite sensational, this will definitely become the tea money for the people of Chang'an to chat about after dinner, although there is no identity to go in and chat with the emperor to brag, but Qujiangchi has been there, it is also the most famous scenic spot in Chang'an, and it is also open to the people, and you will go shopping if you have nothing to do, the scenery is too beautiful, so it is needless to say, it is naturally better to hold such a grand banquet.
For the students of Guozijian, such an opportunity to show themselves is naturally not to be missed, as a student of the first school in the Tang Dynasty, the sense of superiority is stronger than others, of course, people also have that capital, no, tomorrow is the dinner party of the Qujiang Pool, this will be the students of Guozijian did not come to class, one by one stuffy at home to write poems and endowments, and some people voted for Li Sanso, put aside the song at home, just waiting for tomorrow night to be in the limelight.
Whoever is in the limelight will have more fame, and the popular point is that whoever is thick-skinned will get more opportunities.
Let's talk about the imperial court officials who added banquets, naturally they are proud to be able to enter Qujiang Pond, there are thousands of eunuchs, and those who can enter Qujiang Pond are heroes. It means that he is deeply favored by the emperor, and it means that he is not easy to mess with.
To sum up, the Qujiangchi Night Banquet is indeed a big event, but Li San didn't think it was too big, the banquet he held when he was young was much bigger than this, but it hadn't been held for more than ten years, but it became such an eye-catching event.
Let's talk about our pig's feet Xu Chen's big horse, these two weekends, no need to go to class, there is Yumo in the bank and there is nothing to do in the past, so he has been doing experiments at home, but he doesn't pay much attention to the matter of Qujiangchi, can he go, naturally he doesn't want to join the lively, but Li Sanmen said it clearly, let the couple go to cool and cool together.
The business of the bank is super prosperous, more than ten days of effort, there are 53 members, don't underestimate these more than 50 people, these are big merchants, borrowing money is often thousands, every time you come to pull several cars of copper money out, the income is still relatively obvious, but the only problem at this stage is that the operation of a large amount of money is very difficult, the backyard iron warehouse has long been full, exaggerated to open the hatch, copper money to flow out.
If you want the bank to continue to grow, the issuance of this banknote is imminent.
Of course, at this stage, there is no strength to issue banknotes, depending on this momentum, sooner or later.
A morning's work is to do experiments at home, to be precise, the stove, Xu Chen is more sad is that in ancient times, how can there be such an easy invention as written in the novel, first of all, the conditions are insufficient, not to mention, the raw materials are still so impure, make a glass, do dozens of experiments have failed, so Xu Chen had to send someone to buy the No. 1 big stove in Chang'an on the street, more than two meters high, and when the stove was sent to the princess's mansion, the princess's mansion and his friends were all stunned. You don't have to think about it to know that this stove was bought by a colt, and it must be that the colt dislikes that the small stove is not hot enough, and is ready to make a bigger one, and it is enjoyable to roast......
Is this pony so cold......
