Chapter 243: Kushan Merchant
When encountering such a thing, Guo Tianyi naturally would not care.
If you are a disciple of the scholar clan with good grades, it is understandable to go through the door and want your child to arrange a suitable yamen.
But those who still want to go through the back door if their grades are not good, Guo Tianyi naturally will not agree.
Thereupon.
A decree was issued.
Anyone who transfers personnel from the ministry to engage in favoritism and irregularities and is inconsistent with the results will be punished rather than let go in terms of serious circumstances.
Strict laws are still necessary.
When this decree was given, all the officials trembled with fear.
Who wouldn't dare to accept gifts?
The third round of the imperial examination was still held ten days later.
More than 3,000 people, and more than ninety percent of them will be eliminated this time.
In the end, only a hundred elites can pass.
Among these 100 people, the most beautiful is tantamount to the top three.
Therefore, the gentlemen who know how to count in the capital are now worth dozens of times.
Some people can't even ask for an arithmetic gentleman to teach at home.
Such as Huang Weiyin.
These days, I don't go out behind closed doors, and I'm delving into arithmetic.
Everyone can see that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the discipline of arithmetic, and it is presumable that the folk arithmetic school will be carried forward after this imperial examination.
It's just that arithmetic involves too many aspects.
In the future, many industries will also be involved in practical applications.
To be an official, you must be of high quality.
Inside the Imperial Study.
"Cai Xuan."
"You immediately pass on the imperial order, mobilize manpower, and order the soldiers of the Nine Sects to send food, wine and daily necessities to the students who have passed the exam this time, especially the poor disciples of the poor sect can send more."
"No! Obey the order. ”
After Cai Xuan received Guo Tianyi's order, he took action on the day of the end of the exam.
Jin Yiwei was in charge of scheduling, and the soldiers of the nine gates were in teams of five, pushing small carts and began to deliver supplies such as wine, meat, and daily necessities to the students.
Guo Tianyi's gifts to more than 3,000 people were all from his own pockets, and they were not a small amount.
But Guo Tianyi didn't care.
What he cares about is people's hearts.
Sure enough, all the students in the capital immediately thanked the emperor.
"Thank you, thank you..."
"Hey, don't thank us, thank you if you want to thank your majesty."
A disciple of the poor sect was so moved that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the Forbidden City, "The student will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty in this life, and I will not hesitate to shed my blood for Your Majesty..."
He doesn't necessarily get a meal of meat for a few days.
But now it's different.
The imperial court would send wine and meat every day to make sure that they would not go hungry.
In this way, they no longer have to worry about food and can concentrate on preparing for the third round of the imperial examination.
Scenes like this are being played out in many places.
Even the children of rich families are equally moved.
The so-called goose feather gift for thousands of miles is light, and this is the truth.
All the students felt the care and warmth from His Majesty.
All readers are the same.
As for kings, they like kings who give them officials and can let them display their ambitions.
Even more important than that is the king's attention to them.
At least, their books are not read in vain, and they can reflect the value of their own lives.
Guo Tianyi spent a small amount of money and gained the hearts of a large number of readers, which can be described as a profitable business.
Today, illiteracy is high.
Many people are listening to the readers.
The mouths of the world's scholars can determine the hearts of the people in a large way.
The Son of Heaven gives away daily necessities, wine and meat, and they can blow it for a lifetime.
Of course, the impact of this incident is not limited to that.
After the news spread, the nobles in the capital and even in many places claimed that if the local students could pass the third round of the imperial examination, they would marry their daughters to the students of the local high school emperor's list.
Everyone saw the importance that the emperor attached to the third round of imperial examinations.
I also saw how high the gold content of being able to pass the third round of the imperial examination was.
This kind of wind has stimulated the hearts of poor and poor students even more.
In addition to being able to get ahead.
If you marry a beautiful lady from a landlord's old wealth or even a noble family, the trajectory of your life will be completely different.
If nothing else, having a rich father-in-law can solve a lot of problems.
It can be said that it will be a win-win situation to be able to make the high school emperor.
Everyone buried their heads in making up for some of the knowledge points they lacked in order to cope with the third round of the imperial examination.
Three days later.
A contingent of merchants from the Western Regions entered the capital.
Although now there are frequent conflicts between the state of Wu and Daehon on the border.
And Emperor Dafeng also sent Wang Zhenwei to garrison northern Xinjiang, but the relationship between the two countries is still increasingly tense.
Dafeng's side is vigorously developing internal affairs, reforming the rule of officials, and developing science and technology.
Wu Guo is not idle here.
Although the cultivable land of Wu was not as large as that of Dafeng, and most of them were nomads, their only advantage was that they were close to the countries of the Western Regions and had extremely convenient trade.
Therefore, the commerce of Wu is quite developed.
However, behind the development of business, there is a scene of fierce competition.
Therefore, this army of merchants from the Kushan Kingdom decided to go to the rich ancient eastern country of Dafeng to do business.
They brought with them many specialties of the Western Regions.
Except for some crop specialties from the Western Regions.
There are also a lot of things that are expensive.
For example, wine.
When Guo Tianyi heard that a merchant from the Guishan Kingdom was selling wine in the market, he immediately summoned the merchant from the Guishan country.
"Xiaomin Yarman meets His Majesty the Honored Emperor Dafeng..."
Yarman, who was wearing the clothes of the Guishan Kingdom and a scarf on his head, trembled with excitement and knelt down in front of Guo Tianyi.
Along the way, Daebong's prosperity and strength deeply shook Yarman's heart.
Their Kushan Empire is an empire that can wrestle with the Wu State.
However, compared to Daebong, it is nothing at all.
In particular, the majestic Forbidden City opened the eyes of Yarman, who came to Dafeng for the first time.
When he saw the young Dabong Tianzi, he was even more excited.
Yarman's family was a business family.
In order to get ahead, you have to do business.
He is also ruined this time, if he can't make some achievements, his status in the family will take a sharp turn.
In the future, the heir of the family will have no chance with him at all.
However, today he was summoned by Emperor Daebong.
This one thing alone, he can blow it for the rest of his life when he goes back.
"Yarman."
"No need to be polite."
"Get up and speak."
"Your Majesty Emperor Xie."
As soon as Yarman got up, he handed over a large package that he had brought with him.
Cao Dechun opened it and looked at it, and took the package to the dragon case for Guo Tianyi to see.
"Your Majesty, this is the goods I came to sell this time..."
"This porcelain bottle contains the finest grape wine from our Kushan country..."
"And these crops..."
Guo Tianyi's eyes lit up, and his gaze was fixed on a red chili pepper, like a hungry wolf seeing a tender fat sheep.
"Yarman." Guo Tianyi picked up the sun-dried chili pepper and said, "This chili pepper, where do you grow it?" ”
"Hiss~"
Yarman gasped and exclaimed, "Great Your Majesty, you actually know this thing?" It's called spicy in our house, but it sounds better to call it chili..."
