Chapter 1182: It's All Rolled Up
Wang Xi quickly made a decision, sleep an hour late tonight, and now the candles in Chang'an City are not expensive, and they can afford it, not to mention that as an official, the imperial court still distributes candles, and read more books after going back, especially the way some court affairs were handled in previous years, and rethink it.
Let's see if there is a better way for myself in that situation at that time, in the Datang situation at that time.
Next year, there will be a lot of new elites from the gate valve family coming in, compared with ordinary people and businessmen from the family, Wang Xi, who is from a poor family, knows how strong these disciples of the big gate valve family are.
It can be said that they are really strong in all aspects, and the six arts of the gentleman dare not say how proficient they are, but they will definitely do. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, absolutely can, at least proficient in several.
And what about them? These people have to make people laugh at their words alone.
That is, His Royal Highness invented the pencil and many hard pen writing, so that their words are not so ugly, but they also have to practice brush words, after all, the current mainstream writing method is still the brush.
But it seems that he heard that there will be a fountain pen, and he has seen it, but it seems that it was given to these old ministers by His Royal Highness, and it is said that the cost is high.
Those fountain pens are very similar to hard pens, but if the paper is too soft, it will not work, but now the quality of the paper used by the imperial court is very good, and it is said that the writing of the history department is all fountain pens, which are all given by His Royal Highness.
Each Historian was given a fountain pen because it was much faster to write and record than a brush, and it was much better to record with a single filling of ink.
It's just that the cost of fountain pens is high, and brush writing is still the mainstream, their current brush words, Wang Xi is because he has been consciously practicing calligraphy since he was a child, his words are not bad, but they are not comparable to these gate valve children at all.
And those who come from ordinary people's families, not to mention, can't even talk about how good the hard pen writing is, the brush words ...... Take it out and estimate it to laugh to death.
Even the most basic characters of the literati can't be written well, and other gentlemen's six arts, qin, chess, and painting tell them that they don't even need to talk about it, and they are still far from these aspects.
Although these things do not have much to do with the management of the imperial court and the handling of government affairs, it is not accurate for you to say that they have no effect at all.
There are some things that you have to know if you want to achieve more.
At least that's what Wang Xi thinks, the current Datang can't do without these things.
And he told some of his colleagues about similar things, since everyone has a common goal, then we must help each other.
These colleagues, it may be too late to learn other things, but the characters must be practiced, and Wang Xi also passed on to them his own way of practicing calligraphy, if there is no ink, just buy some ordinary brushes and add water to write directly on the slate.
Although the writing is done quickly, at least there is no problem in practicing words, practicing for an hour every day, four months, and the font can be practiced barely to read, much stronger than now.
Although none of these newly promoted officials expressed anything, they all silently began to practice, and Wang Xi's opinion was adopted by many people, although they were all born from ordinary people, but living in this society, they will always be affected.
For example, words are the face of a person, especially if they are all officials, and this word should not be ugly. They are all affected by this concept, so of course they have to practice.
Wang Xi and the others all began to work silently, and the elite disciples of those gate valve families were just like Li Ke expected, and they were secretly gritting their teeth one by one!
After all, since the end of the national unified examination last year, and then these newly promoted officials have shown an unprecedented level of excellent work, the entire Datang has said everything.
They usually go out to play, and they usually have their eyes above the top, but now when they go out to play, they can meet a lot of people who ridicule them, and the other party's ridicule is simple.
Aren't you amazing? But it seems that your results in the unified examination are not very outstanding, and after the imperial examination every year in the past, your performance does not seem to be as well as the current collective praise of these newly promoted officials above the court.
You must know that those Xianggong are all from the family of gate valves.
Aren't you ashamed?
What is the ...... They really can't refute it, because they want to prove that they don't have a chance, and the premise of trying to prove yourself is that you have to be an official like everyone else.
You're not even an official, and you're talking about your mother here.
The people who ridicule them are naturally not good-tempered, and they reply with a hard mouth, I can do it, but after replying, they will get greater ridicule, and they are still angry.
Don't go back? I still hold my breath in my heart.
Now, when the opportunity comes, we must teach these people a lesson, and we must let them know what an elite is!
So almost all of these people who were going to take the imperial examination went home and started to study like crazy, not only in the subjects they traditionally studied, but also in what was taught in Li Ke's school.
They are arrogant, but they are not stupid. Since it was promoted by His Royal Highness, and His Highness's influence in the Tang Dynasty, of course they have to learn what His Highness promoted.
What's more, how to convince these people? It is to let them know that not only do they not understand that we understand, but even if they do, we understand it, and we are stronger than them! That's the key!
If a person holds his breath, especially when a proud person is forced to come up and start to be ruthless, the power that erupts is really something that everyone will look at.
Wu Xu can be said to be the first to feel this, because after Wu Xu, who is in charge of the entire Datang Sleepless City, published His Royal Highness's article in the newspaper, the flow of people in the Datang Sleepless City actually fell continuously in the following days, and the consumption of the Datang Sleepless City could also fall off a cliff.
In just four days, Datang Never Sleeps' income plummeted by nearly forty percent!
Seeing this plummeting figure, Wu Xu was amazed, it was not his husband, it was really amazing, he just posted an article, and these literati ran back to work.
It's just that...... How long can they last?
Can they prove their own strength? Wu Xu didn't know, as for the plummeting income of Datang Sleepless City, she didn't worry about it at all, because the money belonged to Datang Sleepless City, and it belonged to His Royal Highness, which had long been fixed, and it was nothing more than letting them spend it now or revenge in four months.
The atmosphere in Datang became enthusiastic again because of Li Ke's move, and the attention of everyone in the entire Datang was attracted.
It's just that some things are always destined to happen, such as the southern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty.
