Chapter 105: The Imperial Examination is Born!
After all, the old man was old and relatively slow to react, and he only came back to his senses after a call from the housekeeper.
If you can be an official, of course you have to get an official to do it!
If it weren't for the poor and searched by the ancestors, he couldn't compare to those famous families, Pan Fu would not have been hungry because he was a child, and he would have been hungry all his life!
As a result, he has been guarding money all his life, and before he knew it, he became one of the richest gentry in Yangzhou!
"Bang!"
When I was thinking about the beauty in my mind, the door of my house was suddenly kicked open, and then a group of gentry swarmed over.
These uneducated gentry in Yangzhou City basically come to Pan Fu's mansion when they get together on weekdays.
As soon as this announcement came out, more than a dozen gentry came to Pan Fu one after another, chattering with each other.
"This is good news, pity me and other people who are not from a famous background, but money can be left to future generations, but can we leave money, can future generations remember us? I can't remember! ”
"If you become an official, it will be different! The official position is left to future generations, this is more glorious than the ancestors! ”
Pan Fu snorted coldly:
"How can it be so simple, I heard that this proclamation was issued by the little emperor, and he wanted to forcibly seize our land before, but fortunately we have a way to deal with him, otherwise at this moment, it is difficult to say where we will stay."
"Master Pan, can you ......" A middle-aged old man next to him was worried:
"Do you know what we're worried about?"
"We're worried, if this matter is serious, if we really make those mud-legged people who can read become officials......"
"How did we treat them before, who can guarantee that if the mud legs jump on top of our heads, will they retaliate against us?"
"We're worried about that."
Pan Fu was woken up by the voice again, and he also became worried:
"That makes sense!"
"What if it's true...... We'll have to break a lot of money if we don't talk about it at that time! You can't let those mud legs really step on our heads! ”
Hearing Pan Fu's approval, everyone chattered again.
In the end, Pan Fu said that he would wait and see what happened, and if there was really a mud leg called to the imperial city, he would have his own way to deal with it at that time.
For more than ten days in a row, the people who came to Yangzhou City for the examination were surging like a wave, and many of them came from other places!
I heard that only Yangzhou City posted an edict notice, and the people who came to the examination were even more turbulent, because the people didn't know when the next edict would be!
Such a rare opportunity to fight over, maybe only this once! Rare opportunity! Naturally, you have to hold on to it!
……
In the imperial city, Yuwen Shihong is still thinking about some big things.
It has been a period of time since he was the emperor of real power, and Yuwen Shihong also realized that there were many negligences under his bold nature.
I thought that Qin Shi had unified currency, weights and measures, weight units, etc., but when he pondered steel, Yuwen Shihong knew that the weighing, measurement, etc. in different places were very different.
For example, the three liters in Yangzhou are about one liter in Chang'an, and the money used is also strange, and all kinds of ancient coins are in circulation.
There are so many things he has to do, from expanding his territory to unifying the currency.
"Your Majesty! What you want is brought! ”
While thinking, Gao Changgong's voice came from outside the hall.
Gao Changgong has been stationed in Yangzhou, and this time in Yangzhou "pilot" the implementation of the imperial examination, Gao Changgong is responsible for collecting the examination papers.
"Come on in!"
Yuwen Shihong hurriedly stood up and walked outside to greet him.
Gao Changgong carried a large wooden box, and after the box fell to the ground, Gao Changgong shook and bowed three times in one step:
"Your Majesty, everything you want is here, and it has not been leaked to others to see!"
"Hmmm! Promising! ”
Yuwen Shihong praised and opened the box.
Inside the box, the thick yellow paper stacks were neatly stacked, and they were stacked more than half a meter high.
These are all science papers written by literati in Yangzhou City!
If you want to grow the Great Zhou, talent is indispensable, and the imperial examination is the best way to select real talents!
Of course, Yuwen Shihong's deep meaning is far more than that!
Yuwen Shihong spent most of the day flipping through a large box of science papers one by one.
There are very few people who can complete the three science papers completely, so Yuwen Shihong quickly turned over a box of science papers!
It can be seen that there are very few amazing talents, but Yuwen Shihong is not disappointed at all!
The amount of paper and classics in the Great Zhou was insufficient, and reading was a luxury.
In the life of ordinary people, in addition to farming, it is farming, and reading books is a luxury.
So he didn't have much hope for the science papers collected by the pilot!
Yuwen Shihong singled out a few Nayan science papers.
In the ancient empire with strict hierarchies, those who had the courage to write a message to the emperor would definitely not be ordinary people!
"Cui Lin, Ma Zhou......"
"Announce these ten people, enter the imperial city to meet you!"
"Yes! Emperor! Gao Chang saluted and left!
……
Yangzhou City is much more lively than usual because of the edict, and the literati are no longer as usual!
Or stay at home and read alone, or sit on the edge of the ridge when the farm is not working, and find leisure to read!
Instead, they gathered at the castle tower and exchanged ideas with each other!
Because in the past, reading was a useless thing to spend money on, but now! It's different!
"Stomp, stomp!"
In the midst of the heat, the sound of galloping horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
The literati became even more agitated, and when they saw that it was the military general defending the city, they came with a notice in hand, and the literati were even more boiling!
And in the dark, more than ten wealthy gentlemen sent out to keep an eye on the martial artists, staring at the literati with blazing eyes.
But if there is a disturbance, I will immediately go back to the mansion to report the situation!
"Fengtian carrier! Emperor's edict! Said: The results of the edict have been released, and I have read them one by one! Yangzhou City is indeed a good talent! I see it in my heart! ”
"Cui Lin, Ma Zhou, Zheng Yuanyuan, Hu Mao......"
"The ten of you immediately counted their bags and went with General Gao of the Guards! See you in the Imperial City! ”
The holy decree was read aloud, and Gao Changgong, who was sitting on the big horse, looked around him, and he seemed to be surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, almost surrounded by water.
In the chatter of the people, some are excited, some are dazed, and some are lost.
I am excited because I really have the opportunity to meet the emperor when I participate in the edict!
And the lost are because they lost the election, and they don't know when they will have to wait for the next time they catch up with such an opportunity to change their lives.
Gao Changgong posted the notice behind the city tower, turned around and said loudly:
"I hope that all the neighbors will run to tell each other, and the next day, the people who have been selected to meet will go to the imperial city with me to meet them!"
……
"Sir! Master! Oh no! ”
In the Pan family's mansion, a martial artist hurriedly rushed back with a nervous expression:
"The emperor really let the people who participated in the edict go to the imperial city to meet him!"
"It seems that after the audience, it is also true that the official will be promoted to the knight!"
The martial artists were all annoyed by Pan Fu and missed a great opportunity, so they should have sent a son to participate at that time.
In addition to Pan Fu's favorite drills in his own treasury, he also loves to drill the "treasury" of Yingying Yanyan in various flower buildings, and even drills every day.
Therefore, not only is there a house full of heirs, but I can't even count how many sons he has!
Pan Fu was also stunned at this time, he couldn't help but be annoyed that he didn't teach his children to learn Chinese when they were young!
Now, the opportunity to become a famous family!
I just missed it!
