Chapter Eighty-Five: Shock, Demonstration
Gangnam East Road
At the gate of Dantu County, Runzhou, a list was posted, which instantly attracted the attention of the people in the past.
"What's written on this?"
"Hasn't the gentleman come yet?"
"Hope is not a sign of increased enlistment."
........
Although there were a lot of people gathered before the announcement, there was not a single literate person, and they had to wait for the nearby gentlemen to come.
But there was no one sir, but there was a gentleman who was a little thinly dressed, and instantly attracted all the attention, although he was not a sir, but it was good to be literate.
There was also some doubt on the young man's face, he didn't know that any notice would be announced at this point in time.
In particular, some soldiers at the city gate had already been asked before, and although they were also illiterate, they still asked for some news.
For example, this notice came from Chang'an, which means that it was not a notice from the county and state, but an order from His Majesty to the whole world.
Calculate the time from Chang'an to Jiangnan, it is very likely that the decree was delivered in the days after the New Year, which can't help but make the teenager excited.
To know a few things that can be discussed first in the new year's court meeting, it will definitely be a big event that will affect the world.
When he got out of the way, the boy approached the sign and began to read it.
"Tell the people of the world, the chaos in the world, the beginning of peace in the world, the lack of officials in various places, and the reform of the imperial examination ......"
While reading the other side, the young man's heart also shook, knowing that he also had the idea of going to Chang'an to make a name.
However, in the end, he hesitated, because the journey was too long, and there were old mothers and brothers at home who depended on him to support him.
At the beginning, he learned a lot of words from a gentleman, and he became the bookkeeper in a restaurant in Dantu City.
The key owner still has a lot of books, which gives him a feast for his eyes and allows him to learn a lot of knowledge on his own.
Although life is tight now, it is much better than most people's homes.
Once you go to Chang'an, it will take a few months at least and more than a year at most, what will happen to this family.
When they finished reading, everyone understood the content of the notice, and many people were relieved at first, not just a service.
As for the change of the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with ordinary people, but the eyes of the poor scholars gathered behind them lit up.
You must know that in addition to the long distance in Chang'an, the number of people recruited for each imperial examination is too small, only thirty.
After thinking about it a few times, the children of the Shu clan from a poor family shook their heads, and a penny was difficult to defeat a hero.
And now there is a chance, and the top 200 in each imperial examination will increase the number of places in the whole world by 2,000.
Although he can only be a petty official, he doesn't know how much he does compared to the account office or companionship that poor students do now.
Many scholars from the poor family had their eyes twinkled, and they had already decided to prepare for the imperial examination, and of course there were some people who cared about martial arts.
However, the martial arts examination is only the beginning, and if you want to participate, you have to come to Chang'an like the previous imperial examination.
Ordinary people have many children, and they originally thought that the illiterate imperial examination had nothing to do with them, but now it seems to be different, but it has something to do with them.
Not only Jiangnan Dongdao, but also the text spread all over the world, and everyone was shaken by it.
It had been since the last time there was a shock in Lingyan Pavilion and Quyuan Plough, but it wasn't so sensational at that time.
The reason is that Ling Yan Pavilion basically has nothing to do with the people, and as for Qu Yuan Li, he doesn't have much interest in the children of the family.
I may have listened to it, but I guess I forgot it for a while, but this time it was different.
Whether it was Shilin or the common people, they were all shaken, and even the family gate valve was considering the changes brought about by the imperial examination.
"I'm waiting for the poor to finally have a bright day."
"The children of peasant families can also embark on the road of joining the army through martial arts."
"Your Majesty, woo woo woo ....."
......
Some were excited, some were excited, some were crying with joy because they saw the way forward.
They were born with a fate that seemed to have been fixed, even if they wanted to change, but they were still powerless, and this time they rekindled hope.
Changan
In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at the information collected by the hundred horsemen from various states, with a hint of joy on his face.
Although he knew that the change in the imperial examination system would definitely cause shock, he did not expect such a big change.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of firmness, this time the imperial examination system does not allow anyone to interfere, especially since he got some methods from his father-in-law.
For example, anonymous review, if the marked volume is invalid, etc., this avoids some officials protecting each other because of their families.
However, Li Shimin's face soon became gloomy again, because according to the intelligence of Baiqi, the price of rice in Chang'an had risen by one penny.
Don't underestimate this article, it affects the people near Chang'an, and behind these rice merchants are the family gate valves.
"Is this for my face?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness and said, it was obvious that this was the family gate valve expressing his dissatisfaction with the reform of the imperial examination to him.
At least in Li Shimin's opinion, but what makes Li Shimin happy is that it seems that because of the residual power of his Xuanwu Sect, these family lords dare not come out.
This made Li Shimin's expression a little complicated, if you count it, Xuanwumen is one of the taboos, and it is not helpful to him now.
"What has Father been doing lately?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Junxian and asked, with a hint of curiosity in his words.
Because his cheap father-in-law seems to have been quiet a little lately, which is beyond his expectations.
It seems that everything before has something to do with these cheap fathers-in-law, but fortunately, there are a lot of benefits for him.
"An Xuangong, it seems that he has been busy recruiting students in the academy recently."
Li Junxian said with a hint of strangeness on his face, if there is any place in Chang'an that needs to be explored the most, then it is Shufu.
Because a lot of people gather in front of Shufu every day, as soon as An Xuangong makes any moves, he doesn't need a hundred horsemen to probe anything, and it has already spread throughout Chang'an.
For example, this time An Xuangong's academy enrollment caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an, both the family and the nobles were listening to the academy's enrollment standards.
"College admissions?"
Li Shimin's eyes were stunned and he muttered softly, he remembered the last time he went to the farm in Shufu on the outskirts of Chang'an.
At that time, there were some buildings that made him strange, and it looked like it should be the academy, but he had something important to do, so he didn't care.
In addition, when I got the solution to the problem, I left in a hurry and forgot about it.
