After readx;?**, Tian Lan's face flushed, and she was satisfied and comfortable lying on the soft collapse of the study in her close-fitting clothes, while Zhao Lei sat at the desk and read the official documents that she hadn't finished reading today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info\qВ5、

"By the way, I've been busy these days, I seem to have forgotten to ask you, didn't Brother Ming Yun say that he went to Beijing with you? Why didn't I see him, and the four Meishan scholars who came with the ship to participate in the scientific expedition, it seems that they didn't see it either, where did they go? Zhao Lei, who was reviewing the official documents, looked at the heavy official documents, had a headache, and longed for a staff member even more, thinking of the best staff candidate, it was nothing more than Su Xun, who had never been famous in the world for his life, and then asked Tian Lan suspiciously.

"Mr. Su's trivial matters at home have not been dealt with, the concubine is concerned about the officials, so she will come to Bianjing first, Mr. Su and others will come to Bianjing after settling down the things at home, and those scholars who came with the boat will go to visit their teachers and former classmates, it is estimated that they will come to Zhao Mansion to visit the officials in a few days, but the officials must be mentally prepared, they will definitely not only come to four, at least thirty or forty people!" Tian Lan lazily lay on the soft collapse and said to Zhao Lei.

"Thirty or forty people, are there so many scholars in Meishan who come to catch the exam?" Zhao Lei heard Tian Lan's answer, and said even more puzzled.

"Why not, there are only four people in Meishan who came to take the exam this time, but in previous years, they failed to take the exam, and they didn't see Meishan's fathers and elders, and there were thirty or forty scholars waiting for the scientific examination in Bianjing, didn't these people come to visit you?" Tian Lan also asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.

"Nope! If it weren't for Lan'er, you reminded. I really don't know that there are so many unsuccessful scholars waiting for scientific research in Bianjing, Meishan alone has 34 unlisted scholars in Bianjing, counting the unlisted scholars in various states and counties in the Great Song Dynasty, there are thousands of unlisted scholars. Zhao Lei put down the brush and said with a shocked face.

"Yes! I heard that there are six or seven thousand candidates in Bianjing! Tian Lan said casually.

Six or seven thousand! This huge number shocked Zhao Lei, he didn't expect that Bianjing would hide so many unsuccessful candidates. No wonder Pan Lou's poetry will be so lively, it turns out that there are six or seven thousand unsuccessful candidates supporting it there!

Some of these candidates are rich and powerful, and some are talented and virtuous, if someone is connected together and is dissatisfied with the list, I am afraid that the court is helpless against these scholars, after all, they are still wearing the hat of scholars. These people are not easy to mess with!

This year, as many as 600 scholars came to participate in the provincial examination, but only 200 scholars could pass the provincial examination, and only 60 people passed the final palace examination, which means that more than 500 people will fail the list, adding new members to the army of unsuccessful scholars in Bianjing.

How can this continue? Every three years, there will be an increase of 500 unsuccessful scholars, and after 30 years, there will be more than 10,000 unsuccessful scholars. It seems that it is necessary to find a place to house these fallen scholars, and also to make these scholars useful. Look for this place there! Zhao Lei lowered his head and thought deeply.

When Zhao Lei lowered his head and pondered, he happened to see a newspaper mixed in a thick pile of official documents on the desk.

Di Bao! That's right! What could be better than a newspaper to arrange for those proud scholars to prevent them from feeling wronged! When he saw Zhao Lei of Di Bao, he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Start a newspaper! Zhao Lei has always been a man of action. Since I thought of it, I immediately began to write the recital, and went up to the sky to prepare for the newspaper and settle those who failed to make the list.

……

The official Zhao Zhen was dressed in a dragon robe and sat lazily in the imperial ceremony. On the dragon chair in the hall, the recent Zhao Zhen is very comfortable, the two enemies faced by the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia is marching westward, and the Liao State is fighting internally. There was no time to confront the Great Song Dynasty, and within the Great Song Dynasty, after Li Di was demoted, under the joint suppression of Wang Zeng, Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu, Lu Yijian kept a lot of low profile, and the court was calm.

Now in the Great Song Dynasty, there is no war outside, no trivial matters inside, money is abundant, and the new army trained by Zhao Lei has a lot of powerful new weapons, and the government and the opposition are leveled, which can be described as a peaceful and prosperous era, so the official Zhao Zhen also relaxed, and from time to time pulled a few harem ladies to play, and the days were very comfortable.

"Enlighten the official family! The minister has this to play! When Gan Ling announced the start of the court meeting, Zhao Lei was the first to stand up and said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Come to the official Zhao Zhen in a comfortable mood, as soon as he saw Zhao Lei stand up, the good mood disappeared immediately, this is not to say that the official Zhao Zhen hates Zhao Lei, but Zhao Lei never goes to the book easily, but every time he goes to the book, he is an important student, and he is used to Zhao Lei from time to time to stimulate the official Zhao Zhen, as soon as he sees Zhao Lei going to play the book, of course, he must let go of his relaxed mood and prepare to be ready for battle.

So thick! The official Zhao Zhen looked at the thickness of the notebook presented by Zhao Lei, and knew that it would take a little time to read it, so he said indifferently to Zhao Lei: "What did Zhao Aiqing play?" ”

"Back to the official's house, the minister recently saw the scholars who came to Meishan to catch the exam, and the thirty-seven Meishan scholars who stayed in Bianjing, from the mouths of these scholars, the minister learned that there are 7,416 scholars in the entire Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty, these 7,400 scholars, although some of the families are well-off, but most of them are from poor families, after falling off the list, they don't even have the money to return to their hometowns, and they are even poorer in Bianjing, and they don't have enough meals, so these scholars have a lot of criticism for the imperial court!" Zhao Lei stood in the middle of the Imperial Palace, and said eloquently to the official Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Lei's words immediately caused a lot of discussion among civil and military officials, and they heard about the chaos of public order more than once or twice, and now they were put forward by Zhao Lei, presumably to think of a good solution, and Zhao Lei is the most important official in all the officials of the imperial court, this is not to say that Zhao Lei is greedy for money, but Zhao Lei can often find ways to make money from the affairs of the imperial court, such as pox seedlings and coal, these two things are proposed by Zhao Lei, and the result brings a large amount of income to the imperial court. Now the issue of Bianjing's unsuccessful scholars is raised. It seems that Zhao Lei is ready to make money with these unsuccessful scholars.

The hundred officials of the imperial court can be regarded as accurate to Zhao Lei's thoughts, and he is really ready to make money with these unsuccessful scholars! What is the purpose of running a newspaper? Is it really to settle the fallen scholars or educate the people, so to speak, it's all about making money!

Get a piece of the pie, be sure to get a piece of the pie! Among the hundred officials, Ye Qingchen, who has only dealt with Zhao Lei once, knows Zhao Lei better than Wang Su and others. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Lei mentioned the problem of falling off the list, his first thought was to snatch profits from Zhao Lei.

"Enlighten the official family! Wechen has recently heard that the fallen scholars are drunk and make trouble, and when the big exam is coming, these scholars are even more dissatisfied, and some people write poems to ridicule the court after getting drunk, so Wechen thinks that it is time to find a way to settle these unsuccessful scholars. Ye Qingchen immediately stood up to support Zhao Lei and said, thinking that I will help you now, you are embarrassed not to give me any benefits.

is the official Zhao Zhen, who is also interested. He also knew that Zhao Lei had always been good at everything, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't know what benefits Zhao Lei could get from those poor and fallen scholars, so he asked Zhao Lei curiously: "Zhao Aiqing!" Do you have any good ways to accommodate those fallen judges? ”

Hearing the words of the official Zhao Zhen, looking at the puzzled eyes of the civil and military officials around him, Zhao Lei took out an enlarged newspaper from his sleeve with a smile on his face. Then hand it over to Gan Ling and ask him to transfer it to the official family.

The official Zhao Zhen took the four pages of the enlarged Di Bao presented by Zhao Lei with a puzzled face, only to see that there were big characters written on the top of the Di Newspaper, and the bottom was empty.

"Bianjing News! Political version - current affairs discussion, academic version - a hundred schools of thought, folk version - country anecdotes, story version - anecdotes! What do you mean? The official Zhao Zhen looked at the style of the four pages of the newspaper, and still asked Zhao Lei in confusion.

"Enlighten the official family! This is how the minister is ready to arrange for the fallen scholars. This is a newspaper, which is equivalent to the imperial court's newspaper, and it is indeed aimed at the people of the Great Song Dynasty. It can be printed on the political affairs of the imperial court, the debate of the political school, the anecdotes in the countryside and some anecdotes, such a newspaper, must have a learned person to write the main pen, and then send it to the market to be printed and sold to the people, the main writer is of course those who have fallen off the list, I don't know if the officials and adults think that this newspaper can be sold at a good price, whether there will be many people to buy it! Zhao Lei asked the official Zhao Zhen and the court officials with a confident face.

Zhao Lei's words made many people start to blush, and they were all smart people who could stand here, and they soon saw a lot of benefits from it. You must know that the content of the imperial court's newspaper has always been the center of discussion among the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are trying their best to know the content of the newspaper.

"Lord Zhao, although this newspaper is wonderfully conceived, it can't settle all the unsuccessful scholars, right?" Lu Yijian, the prime minister who had been low-key for many days, rolled his eyes at this time, and immediately asked Zhao Lei tentatively.

Of course, Zhao Lei knew the meaning of Lu Yijian's words, and he had no intention of eating alone, after all, newspapers can feed many people, and it would be a pity if the imperial court was allowed to occupy them, so in the face of Lu Yijian's inquiry, Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Lord Lu asked well, and the lower officials also thought that one newspaper could not accommodate all the unsuccessful scholars, but one newspaper could not do it, two copies!" Twenty parts out of ten! As long as the newspaper can make money, those merchants will definitely learn from it, and countless newspapers will appear soon, but the newspaper must always have a main writer, who the business looks for to write, will you adults write! Of course not, so I can only find those scholars who have fallen off the list, and then all the scholars will become the chief writers of the newspaper, with both money and work, and there will be trouble for the imperial court! ”

"Therefore, the minister begs the official family to approve the private newspaper in order to settle the fallen scholars!" After Zhao Lei finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and said solemnly to the official Zhao Zhen.

"But what if the newspaper scribbles something that is not good for the court?" Wang Zeng also thought that this idea was good, but he was afraid of the harm of the spread of speech power, so he asked Zhao Lei hesitantly.

"Returning to Lord Wang, the imperial court can establish a newspaper yamen, responsible for managing the affairs of the newspaper, if someone scribbles things that are not conducive to the imperial court, they can be arrested and convicted immediately, but things that are not conducive to the imperial court may not be dared to be written, and even if they are written, the people of the Great Song Dynasty may not be willing to buy them, and they can't make money to discredit the newspapers of the imperial court, they must be spies sent by the enemy country, even if they are arrested and killed, it doesn't matter!" Zhao Lei replied indifferently.

"Good! I agreed to Zhao Aiqing's proposal to immediately establish a newspaper yamen, and at the same time recruit unsuccessful scholars to prepare for the newspaper! Everything is presided over by Zhao Lei, assisted by the three divisions, and the newspaper yamen is hung under the three divisions. The official Zhao Zhen took the dragon case and made up his mind to say.

Get! The benefits were fished out by the three divisions, the newspaper yamen was hung under the three divisions, and the logistics yamen of the new army still had some oil and water, and he did not lose his efforts! Zhao Lei heard the words of the official Zhao Zhen, and thought with a wry smile in his heart.
