Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 290 Recruiting an Assistant to Lu Deming

When everything between Luo Yan and Princess Changle became a foregone conclusion, the peace in the court was restored.

Originally thought that he was going to be appointed by Li Shimin, but who knew that he had arranged for a little lolita to be his wife.Although this is a good thing, for the current Luo Yan, there is really a slight sadness in his heart.

Regarding Ying'er, Luo Yan didn't know how the system arranged it in the end.

No matter how you say it now, the fourth round of tasks is basically finalized.During the buffer period, as long as I don't make any typos, that is, within a year or two, I will be able to marry Princess Changle back home. I think the task will be completed when the time comes.

Given the urine nature of the system, there might be some surprises then.

Indulging in the memory of Yinger for a long time, when I came back to my senses, the setting sun was already shining on the window grilles.

This is not the only thing that worries Luo Yan.

In the early morning, Li Shimin sent a decree to let Luo Yan temporarily stay in the ministry of the province, and always serve Li Shimin in case of inquiries.

As an added official, it is not a real job to give things. Although he has the authority to refute government orders, he is like a consultant, taking the emperor's money to do nothing practical.

What Luo Yan is worried about is not that he will sink in the officialdom because of this.On the contrary, this is a temporary buffer for himself when he thinks about it. With his own ability, he will definitely go up in the future.But as a matter of fact, since he will always be with the king, the matter of helping Lu Deming compile the "Jingyi Tongshi" will be delayed.

After following Lu Deming these days, Luo Yan also knew that Lu Deming's body was not as good as before.Compiling such a huge book is such a big deal, and Lu Deming is serious about it, but whenever his memory is a bit blurred, he must look up the source.

So even with Luo Yan's help, less than [-]% of the work has been completed during this period of time.In addition to what Lu Deming made before, it is only five or six out of ten.As time went on, the old man's health became worse and worse. If something went wrong, wouldn't it make Luo Yan die of regret.

Therefore, Luo Yan made up his mind to recruit some assistants with good character and knowledgeable knowledge for Lu Deming.

the next day.The bright sunlight spread across the city wall to the row upon row of houses in the city. The city gate was pushed open by several strong soldiers, and it opened slowly amidst non-stop squeaks.The sunlight was let in inch by inch, just like the crowd waiting outside the city gate.

At this time, it was the peak of the flow of people into Chang'an City, and the soldiers guarding the city were checking the documents one by one.

At this moment, a few strange servants came from the depths of Suzaku Avenue.

They are servants because the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have their own ranks. These people are all dressed in green clothes and cloth shoes on their feet, just like servants.It's strange, but it's because these people are dressed in fine fabrics, which are not at all like what servants can have.Moreover, each of them was holding a few rolls of paper in their hands.

The busybody watched the actions of these people curiously, but even the thought of continuing to enter the city was temporarily forgotten.

I saw that these servants went to the notice board at the gate of the city, took the paste, and wiped it on the board a few times, and then a person came out, opened a roll of paper in his arms, and faced the wiped paper. The paste, then posted up.

Turning his head to look, he felt that there seemed to be some wind at the gate of the city.Seemingly uneasy, he stroked the paper several times with both hands, and when he felt that it would not be blown away by the wind at all, he nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards Qixia Gate with a few people around him.

"What is it writing? Come on, let's take a look." The person who said this must be literate.If you want to see such a scene posting a notice, there must be something important.

But its literacy does not affect the enthusiasm of the people onlookers.There are those who are illiterate and those who are literate.I can't understand the words, but I can always understand the words.For a while, the people who entered the city actually let go of their original intention of entering the city, and gathered around the notice board to watch the excitement.

"What is it writing? A scholar who can understand it will tell you."

"I can read, but I stand far away, blocked by everyone, so I can't see it."

"Come on, you go forward."

After a lot of courteousness, a few scholars walked to the innermost part of the crowd proudly, and then began to read the words on the list: "Nowadays, more than a dozen people are looking for well-educated scholars. They need to be proficient in classics and have good conduct. If there are virtuous people Those who recommend themselves, please sincerely..."

After reading this, several scholars stopped talking at the same time, and then looked at each other in amazement.

"Read it, why don't you read it. Whose house is it? Although we don't know a few words, we might as well go and watch the excitement."

Seeing a few people stop, the crowd watching yelled and urged them to continue reading.

"Okay. Please go to Cheng Guogong's mansion to discuss in detail. All sages will receive ten guan monthly salaries, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if you are deposed, you can still get Sichuan Ziyi to show your gratitude. Luo Yan."

Several people read the last name extremely softly, almost only they could hear it.But the people around burst into screams: "What, ten guan? Be good, but it's terrible, I don't know what this Cheng Guogong is going to do, but he actually gave money ten guan. I have earned a total of three years. Ten strings of money. These scholars still take advantage of it, alas, life. When you have children and grandchildren in the future, you must let them study well."

"Didn't you say that you can get money even if you are dismissed? Why don't I try it later, hehe, when I get so much money for nothing, we will have a good life this year."

"You don't want to die. You usually spend some money in this street for nothing, but it was taken by the Jinwu Guards to beat a few boards. But that is Cheng Guogong. It is said that the Turks killed him. Lord of all people. You kid is going to die."

"Cheng Guogong? My dear, I misheard just now, and I thought it was someone else's house. I said it was Cheng Guogong, how could I say such a mindless thing. Thank you, brother. If you have time, you might as well let me know later. My little brother treats you to a drink."

"Thank you for taking it, and I won't have to drink. I know you, you are a drinker. If you want me to pay for the wine, then I will die."

The illiterate people were shocked, but the literate readers were excited.

There are thousands of scholars living in the city of Chang'an, submitting papers to the ministers of the court every day.There is no way out for the scientific research, but the way for recommendation is still broad.

Who is Cheng Guogong? He only recommended a Ma Zhou, and now he is an official from the fifth rank.As for the Jinshi who were recommended by Ma Zhou in those years, the biggest official is now only a sixth rank.

With such an example, which scholar is not eager.

No matter what you do in Duke Cheng's mansion, if you want to be valued by him, not to mention recommending it to the emperor, even being a guest in his mansion is a very good step for promotion.Ten strings of money is naturally attractive, but a bright future is even more attractive.

As for some loyal scholars, they even wrote to their friends immediately.

In Lu Deming's residence, Luo Yan was reporting the matter to his teacher.

He didn't seek Lu Deming's opinion before, so he said at this time that he naturally thought that the matter had already been exposed, and even if Lu Deming wanted to refuse, it was already too late.

"Teacher, that's the way it is. Please forgive me for making my own decisions. Seeing how hard the teacher works every day, I really can't imagine how the teacher wrote so many manuscripts before." After Luo Yan finished speaking, he was a little excited Said to Lu Deming.

Looking at Luo Yan's red eyes, Lu Deming smiled, took a sip of the tea on the table, put down the tea bowl, and then said: "How could I not know your kindness. I also thought about finding Some people come to help. It’s just that they do trivial things, and I’m afraid that if the people they recruit don’t do their best, it will only add to the chaos.”

Hearing that Lu Deming didn't blame him, Luo Yan also became happy: "Teacher, don't worry. They will help you write the manuscript during the day, and I will review it again when I come back at night. But if there is something that I don't understand clearly, I will write it down and the teacher will come back the next day. Make corrections. When all the manuscripts are finished, I will ask someone to read it to the teacher a few times. In this way, the teacher’s worries will be avoided.”

"That's what you said. Since that's the case, I won't say anything more about it. You just bring them when the time comes."

What Luo Yan didn't expect was that one of his announcements caused such a storm in Chang'an.

In the tea shed, in the tavern, in the brothel, in the Chu hall, wherever there are down-and-out scholars, there are discussions about the recruitment of Cheng Guogong's mansion this day.

"Isn't this Cheng Guogong going to teach me the classics again? You should know that last time in Jinzhou, he recruited students who were considered to be scholars. In the end, they all passed the subject exams. I might as well give it a try. "

"Don't be so anxious. It should be noted that this time is different from last time. In the notice, Cheng Guogong didn't say what he did in the past. No one can say what's tricky in this. Why don't we wait and see A decision will be made after encountering someone there.”
