Chapter 979: Borrowing the East Wind
With the return of officials to their respective offices, this war without gunpowder officially ended.
Lin Ran's mood was not very good, after all, he only blocked Huang Zhongda's wave of attacks, but in essence, he did not cause much harm to Huang Zhongda, and only got Huang Zhongda's promise not to interfere in the affairs of "Shuntian Daily".
It's just that officialdom has always been sinister, and it has always been your life and death. He and Huang Zhongda have not decided the winner for a day, and Huang Zhongda has not been kicked out of the Shuntian Mansion, so he can't take it lightly.
Back at the Fucheng Office, Kang Wanrong and others have arrived. The gang seemed to know what had just happened, and the Suncheon Daily was almost disbanded by Hwang Joong-dah, and their eyes were full of gratitude at this time.
Lin Ran saw all this in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, stopped in this temporary office hall, and said seriously to Kang Wanrong and the others: "There will be a tough battle to fight today, as long as you work hard, I promise not to treat you badly!" ”
"Yes!"
Kang Wanrong and others responded in unison, looking high-spirited. Especially those few posts, they faintly saw a bright future, and they had a strong drive at this time.
The morning sun rises high, and the Shuntian Gong Courtyard is inside.
Yin Tai, who was wearing a second-class official uniform, finally saw the dawn of freedom after a month of "imprisonment". After following the deliberations of several examiners, he personally finalized the final ranking of the examination, and then began to unveil the seal.
When the names of the candidates were uncovered and filled in on a big red piece of paper, a team of good news teams began to go out in the city. It's just a small detail here, when filling out the list, there is also a scribe next to him who is also copying.
"Good news Fujian Quanzhou master, Chen Zhenjiawang, the third hundredth in the high school Renxu Science and Technology Examination, the top saint of Jinluan Palace!"
……
An errand officer rode a fast horse towards the Hokkien Guild Hall, which opened the prelude to the trial of the Renxu Branch Meeting.
The people of the whole city also went out to stand guard in front of some of the guild halls and inns. As long as there is a procession of the annunciation, they will go with the procession, or take the opportunity to ask for some money, or take the opportunity to have a feast.
Juren owns 500 acres of tax-free land, and too many of them are from wealthy families, and their pockets are very bulging.
In the face of such a great joy in life, not to mention just rewarding some happy money, even if it is all the silver taels on his body, they will not feel the slightest distress.
Of course, some people are happy and some are sad, and waiting is even more torturous.
In the Canton Hall, a group of lifters were waiting in the hall, and most of them seemed restless.
"Good news Guangdong Guangzhou master, Xiao Xuxu, the 235th place in the high school Renxu branch examination, the top saint of the Jinluan Palace!"
"Good news Guangdong Chaozhou master, Weng Zhiyuangui, the second and ninth place in the high school Renxu Science and Technology Examination, the top saint of the Jinluan Palace!"
"Good news Guangdong Leizhou master, Chen Zhizhong, the 140th place in the high school Renxu Science and Technology Examination, the top saint of the Jinluan Palace!"
……
The list of high schools was released one by one, which made the high school students overjoyed, and some even cried bitterly on the spot. For such a jinshi quota, many people boiled their heads full of green silk.
Wang Honghai, who was dressed in scholar's clothes, was also sitting at the table, and originally wanted to help in the government office today, but was sent back by his mentor. In essence, he really can't calm down today, and he is also extremely eager for high school at the moment.
It's just that the more this is the case, the more God doesn't want it. In the blink of an eye, they had already reported to the hundredth, but there was still no name of Wang Honghai, which made him look extremely uneasy.
What makes him even more tormented is that once he really fails to make the list this time, then he will be ashamed of his expectations and cultivation of his teacher, and I am afraid that he will not have the face to meet his teacher in front of the Shuntian Mansion.
At this moment, more than 4,000 candidates who have not yet passed the school also feel a kind of torment as if they are in hell.
In the middle, the glory of the ancestors, the drunken beauty collapsed; If you lose, you will read at night with the lamp, accompanied by the cold window.
Today is an unusual day.
When the name of the last Huiyuan was revealed, a scribe quickly copied the name and handed a list to a catcher.
The head catcher took the list and immediately rushed out of the Shuntian Tribute Courtyard, rode a fast horse that had already been waiting at the door, and whipped away directly in the direction of the Guozijian.
In the afternoon, the complete list of high school students was posted at the door of the Suncheon Gongwonin Temple. It's just that there are so many people around there that many people can't squeeze out at all.
In particular, some ordinary scholars are no match for those candidates who have domestic servants, and they are completely squeezed outside, and they can only look at the big red list from afar.
"Huiyuan, a person from Suzhou in the south, Wang Xijue."
After learning about the Huiyuan of Jinke, many people left directly. It's not that they don't care about the other winners and the situation of the provinces, but that there are too many spectators, and the vast majority of people can't squeeze in at all.
"Suncheon Daily! Suncheon Daily! Here is a list of high schools in the capital, and one only costs five cents! ”
Later in the evening, a group of children dressed in uniform carried backpacks and shouted loudly in the streets and alleys of Beijing. And these newspapers seem to have just been printed, and there is still a smell of ink.
"Will you try the most complete list? I want it! ”
"It's down to five cents? Then I want it! ”
"The products of Shuntian Mansion are guaranteed, and I also want a copy!"
……
Too many people are not willing to go to the Shuntian Gongyuan in the southeast corner, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur when listening to other people's relays, and they can see the most complete list by listening to the five pennies, even if they pay for it.
The price of these five cents is indeed close to the people, and in this era when paper and pen and ink are high, and it is really earning to be able to read such useful information.
The most important thing is that this "Shuntian Daily" not only has a complete list of the exams, but also a lot of fresh information about Beijing, and there is also a rather interesting serial.
In the same way, by the twilight of the day, "Suncheon Daily" sold more than 20,000 copies. This is still because of the lack of printing in Guozijian, otherwise this sales figure would be even higher.
A few days ago, Lin Ran hid the sales problem of "Shuntian Daily", just waiting for this sales opportunity, and wanted to use this spring breeze to promote "Shuntian Daily" to the entire city of Beijing.
Things are going very smoothly, and "Shuntian Daily" took the opportunity of the trial release of the list, coupled with the use of newsboys for direct sales, which can be described as an instant hit, which can be regarded as opening up the huge market of Beijing.
As for Huang Zhongda, who wants to see jokes, seeing that "Shuntian Daily" is so popular, and watching it sell out of stock after only five cents, he is completely dead in this matter.
