Save Datang MM

Luoyang New Palace.

Xu Ziling sat behind the dragon case, yawning in plain white Confucian uniform.In the first few days, in order not to disappoint the ministers eager to experience the formal etiquette of the court and the official addiction, he had to put on a show of diligence and love for the people, but Xu Ziling has always hated such things in the early court.For a good morning, Mr. Xu thinks that the most important thing to do is to sleep soundly on the bed with the little beauty lying on his chest, and then sleep until he wakes up naturally...

Wei Zheng originally had some opinions on the fact that he wore ordinary clothes early in the morning and thought that he should dress up to reflect Wang Yi.

However, Xu Ziling has been admonished many times, and Xu Ziling's left ear goes in and out of his right ear, and it is not easy for him to persist in the morning court. If it weren't for Feng Weiwei Zhenzhen, no one would be able to wake him up.

So Wei Zheng didn't care what clothes Xu Ziling was wearing as long as he didn't come out in pajamas.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Ziling asked casually taking a bite out of a fresh fruit.

On the dragon table were the Four Treasures of the Study and the National Seal and Tiger Talisman, etc. Originally Xu Ziling wanted to put a plate of fresh fruit and two plates of snacks, but that old guy Wei Zheng stared at him and had to give up.He made a tacit mutual compromise with Wei Zheng, the great Confucian Wang Tong, and others. The dragon case does not show things, but Wei Zheng and the others just opened their eyes to the things that Xu Ziling himself conjured up, even though they thought in their hearts that eating breakfast in the court would be demeaning. Yi, however, was unwilling to let Mr. Xu, who was the least like a king, starve.

This early dynasty is not like the formal monarchy in the past.

It is impossible for Xu Ziling to participate in the early dynasty of the early morning dynasty when the first ray of sunlight shines on the east, and hundreds of officials have already rushed into the mountains to shout long live. To be precise, he can't get up at all.

The current morning court has been reformed and improved and postponed for two hours. At Chenshi, when the whole Luoyang people wanted to come, Xu Ziling started the morning court.Although Xu Ziling was able to write the famous saying "worry about the world first, then worry about the world, and enjoy the world afterwards" to Wei Zheng (reprinted in this book), but it is definitely impossible for him to do it himself.

All Luoyang people are very proud of one thing, that is, they must have woken up earlier than the Lord of China.

Except for the brothel girl who only woke up in the afternoon, everyone else woke up earlier than Mr. Xu, of course, no one went to bed late than Mr. Xu.

Originally, Xu Ziling wanted to change the early dynasty to the end of Chen Shimo, but Wei Zheng felt that it was not called morning dynasty at the end of Chen Shimo, but Wu Chao, and the name of Wu Chao was not pleasant to hear, and had a mispronunciation of the dynasty.But he agreed to the official early court at Chenshi because most of the officials in Luoyang were a little fat.

"I have something to play." Li Fucheng came out and said respectfully.

"Speak." Xu Ziling waved his hand and saw the seven kings, the sword maniac Ba Fenghan, and the butterfly boy Yin Xianhe. They didn't come and couldn't help cursing these unscrupulous guys. It's just that they came here three days ago, and then the novelty faded away. It was so boring that none of them came.

"About printing and newsprint." Li Fucheng played: "The printing speed of lead type is very fast, but the punctuation marks mentioned by Wang can't be arranged accurately, and people often think that the punctuation marks are new fonts, so there is no way for newsprint to still be read by Confucian scholars. A large number of copies are popularized. As for the production of newsprint, the craftsmanship is not great, but the quality of newsprint has dropped significantly after repeated returns and remanufactures, and it is generally ink-colored. In terms of content, Wei Gong..."

"Can't print side news?" Xu Ziling laughed loudly because the Manqing Academy donated 1000 taels of silver to print the first advertisement.

The introduction of the top ten golden flowers above has actually been written very implicitly and condescendingly. Most of them introduce their piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, virtue and so on. According to Xu Ziling's meaning, this advertisement is really not very good, but officials, celebrities and Confucian scholars feel that doing so seems like A bit sacrilegious.

They feel that the newsprint only records the military affairs, military achievements, or local characteristics on it, and the introduction of the ten golden flowers of Manqingyuan with lace printed on the edge of the Analects is really ruining a good thing like a sage post. up.If it wasn't for Xu Ziling's agreement, it is estimated that the great scholars Wang Tong and Wei Zheng would find Li Fucheng desperately.

"My king is above." Wei Zheng stepped forward and said respectfully: "The test of newsprint is a good story, and the contempt of money to invade the side of sages really makes the ministers uneasy."

"Understood." Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Newsprint is experimenting now, but it will definitely be popularized in the whole of China in the future. The people in the whole of China may not be full of poetry and books, and their tastes may not be elegant. There is no water in the boat, so the general direction of the newsprint is to cater to the common people. The articles must not only be easy to understand, but also concise and concise, but also vulgar and elegant. Otherwise, the common people will read the entire newsprint because it is Analects, and they will not be very interested in reading it A bit of news can arouse their desire to read, and after a while, they will become familiar with the words of sages such as the Analects of Confucius, how is it not a good thing?"

"My ministers are afraid that officials, scholars and Confucian scholars will follow the trend when they read news paper." Wei Zheng means that the common people may not be able to teach well, but maybe the truly literate scholars will fail to teach first.

"The sages have a saying that food and sex are also sex. It is a matter of courtesy and filial piety to pass on the relationship between men and women..." Xu Ziling was about to talk about some big truths.

"My king now says that the content of the newsprint has nothing to do with the words of the sages. I don't object to the romantic affairs of officials and scholars, and I don't object to talking about love affairs. I don't care about the printing of the silver and two publications, but I suggest that the words of the sages be published on the most eye-catching ones?" Wei Zheng has been with Xu Ziling for a long time, he knows Xu Ziling's eloquence is unparalleled, it is impossible to tell him the truth, and his attitude towards Xu Ziling is like this, it is impossible to listen to everything, even if you don't listen to it, you can't oppose it, no matter how upright he is, he is still a king after all, let alone doing things. It is also sincerely serving the people without any selfishness.

"In this way, it is estimated that the attractiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will lose the meaning of news." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle: "News is the latest news. The words of sages are only used to educate the people, but the most important thing is to share the latest national events with them. Sharing with the public (reprinted in this book) is the main purpose of running a newsprint.”

"My king and minister invite Queen Feng to participate in the discussion." Under Xu Ziling, except for the great Confucian king Tong Tian Dao Song Que and the Great Thunder God, they are all gone, only the great Confucian Wang Tong is the king's teacher.Wang Tong knew Xu Ziling well in the early morning court. He saw that Fengwei Zhenzhen seemed to have a way, and letting her speak out was definitely a compromise, so he stood up and said.

"Do you have a solution?" Xu Ziling turned to look at Wei Zhenqi and asked.

"My concubine, let me try." Wei Zhenzhen smiled slightly and said, "It's better to fold half a sheet of newsprint and two papers in half, and each side has an eye-catching version."

"Doubling is not bad, but I'm afraid there won't be so many things to record and it will be difficult to print." Xu Ziling nodded slightly and said: "The right page version is a book of sages; below add the biographies of historical figures such as Su Wu shepherd, Huo Qubing horse Stepping on the Huns and the like; or masterpieces of predecessors such as Tao Yuanming's poems and essays, Sima Qian's historical records, etc.; set up a small column to publish the poems and essays of today's scholars to let Confucian scholars use their brains and give them a chance to display their talents. Choose three at a time People's poems and short texts are published, and the last part is the spare parts of state affairs, and every time some excerpts of state affairs and political meetings are spread all over the world through newsprint."

"My king's proposal won the hearts and minds of the ministers." Wei Zheng and the great Confucian Wang Tong heard about this step and backed down in a timely manner.

The most important thing is that Confucian scholars all over the world will probably rack their brains in order to be able to appear in the newsprint. It is a good thing for student aid.The Great Confucian Wang Tong and Wei Zheng looked at each other... Xiaoxiao let go of the lace news on the newsprint and then turned to the upcoming political examination.Since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty opened the subject, there has been an additional scientific examination since ancient times when he was recommended as an official and bought and sold as an official.

Recommending to be an official is easy to form the disadvantage of "the upper class is not poor, the lower class is not high-ranking. Buying and selling as an official is easy to brutalize the people. Confucian scholars are naturally willing to rely on their own talents and abilities to gain fame.

China's current border has expanded dozens of times at once, and some localities have poor public security and political affairs.

The great Confucian scholars Wang Tong and Wei Zheng have repeatedly appealed to ask for the opening of subjects and examinations, but Xu Ziling knew that officials should not be too many. The disadvantages of overstaffed institutions and overstaffed people are one of the biggest burdens on Duhui.In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the three evils of "redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant waste" made the entire affluent Northern Song Dynasty sink into an empty shell, and finally let the minorities easily defeat it.So although Xu Ziling agreed to take the exam every year, the strict conditions for selecting candidates were beyond the imagination of Confucian officials like Wei Zheng.

Xu Ziling decided not to select talents because of rankings, and the number of places will not be too many. For example, if ten places are really unimportant, then just one person and two people would rather be vacant.

And candidates can't just read the books of sages and sages. There are no more than ten questions in the annual big exam than before.

Xu Ziling came up with the Five Ways himself, and all the officials discussed and then chose the Five Ways, including being an official, governing politics, governing the land, dealing with people, and learning from the virtuous. Each of these five requires examples from the court. Change your appearance and take the test to see if the candidate has the real ability to be an official.

Even if the five exam questions are completed, Xu Ziling's own palace exam is said to include propositions, arithmetic, business transactions, making wishes and dialogues.

Faced with Xu Ziling's weird exam questions, not to mention others, even Wei Zheng himself may not be confident that he can get good grades.

There are three ways to become an official in China.One is that Wei Zheng is personally hand-picked by Xu Ziling, whoever he chooses can do what he chooses, and it should be an official function that does not change much according to a certain specialty.One is people's election. This method is very opposed by Confucian scholars, but it is very popular with businessmen and rich households. Fortunately, this kind of official position is the smallest, and most of them have a certain period of time. They are not lifelong officials.

In the early days, almost anyone can experiment, as long as someone nominates and supports some kind of smaller position, the deadline can be set.

Once the deadline of at least one month and at most three months is up, if there is opposition from the people or if they are not competent, they will obediently step down and replace them.Businessmen like this method very much. It is similar to their own election of industry presidents and the like, and it can win people's hearts and improve their status.The positions are big or small, as long as you do well or are courageous, you can choose a higher position after you are competent. This is the road to politics for businessmen, wealthy households, workers and peasants.If you have the ability to win the hearts of the people, you can work in China, regardless of whether you have read the sage books or not.

The third is the big exam, which is very popular among Confucian scholars. For the first time since Emperor Lazy Wen opened the subject, Confucian scholars feel that there is hope, even if they are afraid of the cold window, the hard work will be rewarded.Of course, they didn't feel bad about the ten topics set by the Lord of China.They can't wait to have more questions to show their abilities so that the world and Mr. Xu can know their abilities.

All candidates who take the big exam and meet the passing standards will be able to receive Huaxia Aid to study hard, although they can't be officials, but there is hope.

As for those who fail, they also have the opportunity to work part-time and study hard while doing odd jobs in Luoyang or other big cities.

Once a candidate is admitted as an official, he will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, even if the official rank is very small, he is deeply expected by Mr. Xu, and he will personally assign any position to any matter.Being an official in the Huaxia Army is different from other places. Official rank is not the most important, but ability, fame and popularity are the most important.No matter how high the official rank is, it is unpopular and has no political achievements. Sooner or later, people will replace it.

"My king, if the candidates pass the exam every year, they should write the questions early, otherwise there will be delays." The great Confucian king said, "Please order the admission of my king."
