Chapter 568: IQ Tax

Seeing the government come forward, those talented people who were lucky enough not to be caught also threw the fake micro-seals they were holding in their hands into Mingyang Lake outside the city......

Spend ten taels of silver to buy an iron micro-chapter and obtain the qualification to participate in this Jiangnan Poetry Conference. If you go to prison in order to save money, or to get a so-called special status, you will lose the qualification to participate in this Jiangnan Poetry Club...... That's a bit more than worth the cost. Besides, isn't there a chance to level up!

Without the market, those "counterfeit merchants" who have just emerged and have not even lived a day have naturally broken off this idea of making a fortune. But the so-called people die for money, and birds die for food, but there are still people who want to take risks with a fluke mentality.

Because of that special badge, not everyone can afford it, and there are always individual scholars who want to get the special poetry club badge that has only been hyped up for two days.

In their eyes, reputation and identity are above all else......

Brother Shi also knew that it would be absolutely difficult to eliminate such a phenomenon, so he issued the "Jiangnan Poetry Society" on the next day, as well as the so-called "Poetry Society Badge Identification Rules".

According to the content of the notice he posted, people realized that each badge had a string of special characters on it. These characters are "Arabic numerals" that are only known to ten people, which is the "student number" mentioned on the notice he posted...... Each student number corresponds to a person's information.

The badge can be faked, but it must match the student number on the poetry club's roster! Because of this, these scholars cherished their badges even more, and realized that this badge was indeed made by Shi Yuan. And for the benefits that were posted by Brother Shi and the members of the poetry club who are not yet there, they have also become looking forward to it......

The badge is one for each person, each person is different from everyone's, it is forbidden to buy and sell, it is forbidden to trade, and the information is checked once a year, and it must be reissued in time after it is lost...... With the improvement of the system, the minds of those who want to risk counterfeiting have been completely broken.

Of course, the prohibition of buying and selling is naturally except for the "special badges" that he deliberately exiled. Special badges made of iron or above, but after you get them, you must go to the "Poetry Club Registration Office" to register your personal information......

For four days in a row, Jinling City was immersed in the lively scene before the start of the Jiangnan Poetry Meeting.

In addition to the registration and badge system, Brother Shi has also carried out all "changes" in the way the Jiangnan Poetry Club participates. He even specially asked Guo Renjie to find someone to build a huge platform by the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, and named it ...... "Hundred People Ring".

That is, according to the rules he set, all the talented people who participate in the Jiangnan Poetry Club will go through layers of special auditions, and finally there will be 100 talented people who have the opportunity to board this "100-person ring", appear in front of everyone, and become famous in one fell swoop!

And these people will also receive special badges according to their ranking. Even for the top 10, gold badges that have never been issued before will be awarded! And the winner of the crown will receive a trophy made of pure gold......

In short, an activity that was originally held by the government to select talents was turned into a draft for folk fun by Brother Shi......

However, this is undoubtedly very attractive for readers. Isn't it just to make a name for themselves? Didn't the winners of the previous Jiangnan Poetry Club just win some fame? What's more, this time there is also an official reward from the "Jiangnan Poetry Society"!

In the past, the Jiangnan Poetry Club was organized by local governments, and the process was like taking the imperial examination. The talents from all walks of life who participated in it also had to answer their test papers within the specified time and then hand them in.

However, composing poetry is not as good as an exam, relying on a temporary feeling, a talent! There is nothing wrong with distributing exam papers in this way......

And those who participated, after being marked by the examiners and Confucians, selected the best of them and conducted a closed-door on-site competition...... In the end, it is like sticking a list, posting the results of the poetry competition. In this way, only when you win the crown can you have a little fame among these people......

But now, if it is held according to Shi Yuan's method, whether it is the scholars who participate or the people who watch the excitement, they feel much more interesting.

The last hundred talents, but they all have the opportunity to appear in front of the onlookers! Even if you don't win the crown, as long as you write a famous sentence, you have a chance to make a name for yourself!

What's more, even if you are not shortlisted for the so-called "100-person ring", you have become a member of the "Jiangnan Poetry Society"! Although I can't see the benefits of joining the Jiangnan Poetry Society yet, who can know what will happen in the future?

For Daqing, who has experienced many years of war, the participants of the first Jiangnan poetry meeting after the truce between Nanqing and Beiqing all feel that they are lucky.

Of course, compared with the previous imperial examination mode, this difficulty is also much higher! Write questions on the spot and compose poems on the spot...... This is also a bit exciting, and the viewing will be stronger!

Because of such a relationship, for a while, everyone who originally crusaded against Shi Yuan praised Shi Yuan. Even in Jinling City, he also has the title of "Shi Gong"! His reputation, which had mixed reviews, gradually began to improve...... Although these people defected faster, it also shows how eager the world's scholars are to become famous.

In the past four days, Brother Shi has been to Luo Haotian's prefect's mansion, Fenglai Tower, the paper mill that is being rebuilt outside the city, and the Guojia Glass Factory, which is now making badges...... But he has never been to Dong Qingyun, so naturally he has never been to Yelian Island, of course, Gao Xiaowu is still following him......

"Brother Shi, you really have you! I'm completely convinced this time! A piece of rotten iron was sold by you for ten taels of silver...... You say these bullshit geniuses are really, and they still claim to be readers? Tell me to see, it's just stupid bubbling! ”

On the side of the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, Guo Renjie, who was idle, held an iron badge in his hand and asked Shi Yuan.

"If everyone in the world is the same as Brother Guo, this will not be easy. It's called the IQ tax! If they like it, just follow them! It's just that Brother Guo, don't underestimate these readers, the world has changed because of them. It's just that now they're going in the wrong direction...... This badge is not used to cheat money as Brother Guo thinks, but I am of great use! Brother Guo still remembers what I told you about the academy? ”

Brother Shi also took out a badge, played with it twice in his hand, and asked Guo Renjie.
