Chapter 30: Knighthood

Lin Xu said: "Your Majesty, Lin Xu has a suggestion, which is very good for the kingdom, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Lin Xu has no official and no lord, so he can't be called a "minister", he can only call himself Lin Xu.

As soon as the king heard this, he immediately laughed, this Lin Xu seems to have some ability to govern the country, in the article he wrote before, he can see the changes in the kingdom clearly, which shows that he still knows some things about the kingdom very well. Now that he was going to make a proposal in favor of the kingdom, whether it was valid or not, the king decided to reward Lin Xu, so he smiled and said, "Say it!" ”

Lin Xu said: "My master invented a hard pen, this kind of hard pen is not only very convenient for writing, but also consumes very little ink and paper, I suggest that the king can promote this kind of hard pen, so that our Song State can use the current resources to cultivate more than ten times the talent, not to mention a senior writer, even ten senior writers can be cultivated!" ”

Hearing this, the king's heart moved, because he felt that he had some insight in what he said, and he naturally wouldn't think that a young man like Lin Xu could say it, so he thought that it should be the teacher behind Lin Xu who was pushing it!

"But...... Only geniuses can grow into senior writers, aren't all the geniuses of our Song Kingdom here? Even if more people are cultivated, it is estimated that they are just some mediocre talents? At this time, a teacher of sacred literature said.

I'm afraid that this is what many other holy writers want to say, because the profession of holy writer is too expensive, and it is destined to be only played by some rich people, so most of these older generation of holy writers have never been in contact with the existence of civilians, so they naturally don't know the situation of civilians.

At this time, Nie Ping said: "In fact, many people are very talented in sacred texts, but they don't have the opportunity to learn sacred texts, and even some people don't have enough resources to practice sacred texts, so they can't grow up at all." If nothing else, there are two people I know who are not inferior to me, but there is only one of us who can enter Kyoto Academy, and I was lucky enough to win them! ”

Hearing this, the king and everyone were shocked, and Master Ye even said excitedly: "Is this true? ”

You must know that if Lin Xu didn't appear, then Nie Ping would be the first day, if Nie Ping was right, then there were at least two people with similar talents to Nie Ping, even if they were a little inferior, they would be great geniuses.

"The folk girl has absolutely no lies!" Nie Ping said immediately.

"Good, good, good!" The king was also very excited when he heard this, and immediately said, "Lin Xu, your suggestion is very good, how should the widow reward you?" You won the first place before, and now you have made such a good suggestion, this king will make you a viscount! In addition, Nie Ping not only won the second place, but also contributed to this suggestion, so this king named you a baron! ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Xu and Nie Ping with envy, you must know that many people can't even get a title in their lives, even if some people are officials in the center of the kingdom, although they have high positions, but their titles are either barons or viscounts, like Lin Jian and others who became marquis earls at the age of thirty or forty, in addition to inheriting the titles of their predecessors, the most important thing is that they have accumulated military merits in the turmoil of the Song Kingdom in the first ten or twenty years, and the other is the Shengwen Master of intermediate writers.

And although those noble children will be able to inherit their father's title in the future, their fathers are still so young, and the people in the Holy Literature Realm have a long lifespan, and when they die, I am afraid they will not be able to inherit the title for more than ten years, after all, they will have babies in their teens and twenties here, and their fathers are less than twenty years older than their sons.

And Lin Xu was knighted by another person, even Li Zong and the three of them were a little envious, jealous and hateful. And Lin Xu himself was a little confused, and he didn't know why he became a viscount!

"Don't hurry up and thank the king!" Lin Jian saw that Lin Xu was a little confused, and immediately kicked him.

"Thank you, the king!" Lin Xu immediately bowed and said.

And Nie Ping also reacted suddenly at this moment, and immediately knelt down directly and said: "Nie Ping, the people's daughter, thank you to the king!" ”

In Lin Xu's memory, in the kingdom, nobles and children of nobles did not kneel, so Lin Xu did not kneel, and Nie Ping, as a commoner, naturally had to kneel, but this was probably the last time she knelt, because when she became a baron, then she would officially join the ranks of nobles.

"Haha......" the king smiled, "Okay, Lin Xu, you draw the style of that hard pen, and then I will have people make it, and then we will recruit genius students from the people!" ”

At this time, Master Ye said: "Wait, Your Majesty, there is a problem here, the last time the Holy Literature Class was expanded, all the people who could teach the Holy Literature have been gathered to teach the Holy Language, if the recruitment is expanded again this time, then the Holy Literature Teacher will become a problem!" ”

"This ......" When the king heard this, he remembered this, and immediately hesitated, in order to let more people learn the sacred text, he had already invited the old holy teachers from all over Kyoto to teach, and now if the enrollment is expanded, who will he find to teach?

At this time, Nie Ping was a little anxious, and she said: "Wang, if it's just a beginner class, I think I can try it, and let the teachers teach the advanced class!" ”

Hearing this, whether it was the king or Master Ye, their eyes lit up, and Master Ye said: "That's okay, like these genius disciples, now they can be regarded as learning all the basics of learning, and even if the master has brought them into the door, then they will have to rely on themselves to further study, and we also have junior writers in the junior class as teachers, as long as they are trained, it is okay to teach a group of students in the junior class!" What's more, teaching for a long time will also promote the growth of the Holy Scholar in some sense! ”

The king nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let them bring it, for a period of three years, and if anyone can bring it well, the widow will make him a viscount!" ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and the people who had not been knighted before were a little moved, after all, if they want to be promoted, one is to rely on their military exploits, and the other is to become an intermediate writer and become the kingdom's holy scholar to worship, but now there is no war, and it is too far away to be promoted to an intermediate holy scholar, so the best opportunity is such an opportunity. It takes three years to become a viscount, and it feels cost-effective for everyone.

Even if Yao Hu was ready to move, only a princess like Zhao Qingwen and Lin Xu, who had already been promoted to viscount, didn't care about this.

So Lin Xu said: "That, king, I think I still have a lot to learn, so I have to continue to study, so if I teach others, I will mislead people." ”
