The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year was over. All the government offices were opened, and the officials in the court resumed their normal visits to the government.

Years later, the emperor promulgated the decree of Kaizenke Kaienke, and the imperial decree was issued from the central government to all localities.

On that day, the Kyoto Daily immediately published the news about the imperial court's Kaienke, and the students in the capital were immediately ebullient.According to the previous years, the scientific examination was only held every three years, but this time the imperial court added Enke, and for many students, they had one more chance.

"This time the imperial court opened Enke, I think you will also give it a try, Brother Zhang."

"Hearing what Brother Wang said, is Brother Wang planning to participate this year?"

"Haha, I have this plan."

These scholars inquired about each other's news, and most of the students were ready to take the exam. If they failed the exam this year and had another chance to take it next year, they should leave the exam early to test the waters.

Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the imperial court is in the midst of employing people. If they seize this opportunity, they may be able to succeed in one fell swoop and become an official in the imperial court. If they are lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, their official career will be completely different.

Now the new emperor reuses Li Liuyuan, Lord Li.From the time when the first emperor was still there, Mr. Li Liuyuan and Mr. Li were the favorites of the first emperor. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Mr. Li Liuyuan and Mr. Li were still highly valued by the emperor.There is no one among the scholars who does not know Li Liuyuan. When these scholars talk about Mr. Li, most of them are full of praise, and the few who say that Mr. Li is not good will be immediately attacked by everyone.

After Li Liuyuan came up, he recommended a group of children from poor families to the emperor. Most of these people were appointed by the emperor, which was a good signal for the children from poor families.In the officialdom, it has always been difficult for the children of the poor family to stand out, but now the new emperor appoints the children of the poor family, which is a good opportunity for the children of the poor family to stand out.This time, hearing that the imperial court opened Enke, many children from poor families are gearing up, ready to give it a try.

The news here in the capital would spread faster, within almost half a day, the students in the capital knew the news about the imperial court Kaienke.It will be a little later to receive the news in the places below, but it may not be long before students from all over the world can receive the news that the imperial court has added Enke.

Li Wen knew a little about the outside affairs, but he was busy with other things at the moment, and had no time to pay attention to the imperial court Kai Enke.

When he came back a year later, Li Wen and the emperor discussed the matter of the newspaper office. The newspaper office was officially owned by the imperial court. The emperor announced the official establishment of the National News Department.The Ministry of Information is an independent department, not under the responsibility of the Sixth Department, but directly under the responsibility and management of officials appointed by the emperor.

The members of the newspaper remained the same, and Zhang Qing was still in charge. Cao Zhenqing and Cao Hanlin were transferred from the Imperial Academy to the News Department, and became the spokesperson of the News Department.

This time, Cao Hanlin was promoted from a sixth-rank attendant to a fifth-rank minister. Cao Hanlin was so happy that he was promoted now.Huo, no, in the future it can no longer be called Cao Hanlin, but should be called Minister Cao.

The publishing and selling of newspapers is contracted to the bookstore that originally published the newspaper, and the bookstore can get [-]% of the profit from it.

Li Wen knew that this was a compensation from the emperor, and the [-]% profit was already huge.It's a fool not to take it if it's good, but he's not a fool anyway, so Li Wen took it silently.

The office of People's Daily moved from the original small courtyard to the courtyard next to their Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and became neighbors with their Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Zhang Qing and the others didn't expect that they could be formally organized as officials of the imperial court, and each of them had a rank. Although their official positions were not high, they were all officials now, and they were still Beijing officials who stayed in the capital.As long as the performance is good in the future, there is still a chance to go up a promotion, so everyone is very happy.

On the first day of moving to the new newspaper office, Zhang Qing, on behalf of the members of the newspaper office, went to the next door to meet their adults and said some words of thanks.He knew that this time, the adults must recommend them to the emperor in front of the emperor, so that they would have the opportunity to formally enter the officialdom, or stay here in the capital as officials.

"You don't have to thank me, you should thank yourselves, you have won this opportunity for yourself." Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Li Wen said, "A large part of the credit for the newspaper's success is yours. .If you don’t do well, if you don’t have the ability, I’d like to recommend you to the emperor, but I can’t recommend you, Zhang Qing, please say so.”

"This time it is the emperor's will. If you want to thank you, you should thank the emperor." It is true that there is no emperor's will, and there is no establishment of the news department, and the newspaper office can become a formal department.

In fact, the original intention of the emperor was to hang the newspaper under the Ministry of Rites, so the newspaper has not become a tool for the officials of the Ministry of Rites?Li Wen was firmly opposed to this, so the Ministry of Information was proposed later, and the newspaper was placed under the Ministry of Information.

Well, he contributed a little bit during this process, but the main thing is that the emperor agreed.

Li Wen did not mention his own merits, but attributed these credits to the court and the emperor. After all, these people worked for the court and the emperor, not for him. It is the service and feedback to the emperor and the court."

"Yes, I understand that I will never forget my original intention in the future, and I will do things well for the court and the emperor." Although Zhang Qing is older than their adults, he has always maintained a humble and courteous attitude in front of their adults. manner.

If it wasn't for their lords and Zhang Qing's today, Zhang Qing secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must do good work for the court in the future, and of course he couldn't forget the lord's support and support to him.

On this day, Li Wen went to the next door to say hello to everyone. Seeing that a lot of things on their side had not been dealt with, he even sent a few officials to help them.

After the newspaper was formally assigned to the imperial court, the content of the newspaper also faced the problem of revision.

At the same time, in addition to the original Kyoto Daily, a literary newspaper was also added, which is aimed at the vast number of scholars, and mainly publishes some excellent poems, songs, prose and story books, etc., by these literati. The literary newspaper gave some unknown scholars a chance to show their talents to the world.

The emergence of literary newspapers was once welcomed and loved by literati.In the following long period of time, under the influence of this trend, Dacheng's literature once flourished and a hundred flowers bloomed.

He was no longer in charge of the newspaper office, and Li Wen felt relieved.

But even so, Zhang Qing and the others were working under him, and he was very familiar with everyone. After the newspaper moved to the next door to their Industrial and Commercial Department, Li Wen also presided over a fellowship between the two departments, allowing the two The officials of the department got to know each other and sat down to have a meal together.

However, the emperor installed the Ministry of Information next door to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Li Wen was more or less clear about the intention of this.Although the newspaper office is no longer under his control, if there is any problem there, he can still help and guide it.Originally, the emperor wanted him to take charge of the news department, but Li Wen thought that he was already very busy here, and he didn't have time to manage other departments.In addition, the emperor made him the prince's tutor, and he was also in charge of the young prince's enlightenment education. Some things were really impossible to do, so Li Wen wanted the emperor to recommend Cao Zhenqing and Cao Lao Hanlin to be in charge. .

But only he and the emperor knew about this matter, of course Li Wen himself would not be so stupid as to run outside and shout: Originally, the emperor asked me to take care of it, but I was not free, so the emperor asked you to do it.If these words are spread, it will definitely make others feel against him, and when they see him in the future, they may turn their heads and don't even have to say hello.

Zhang Suhui was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Information. His official position was not promoted, but his authority was greater than before.

Since the last time the two of them went to the flower house to drink flowers and wine, he himself was taken away by Zhao Xiangyi. He hadn't been out much during the Chinese New Year, and naturally he hadn't met Zhang Suhui. Li Wen was still a little curious What happened to Mr. Zhang and his wife later.The two met again, and Li Wen smiled and asked Zhang Suhui about that day.

Zhang Su recalled that when he woke up the next morning, he found his wife was in his arms, and he was almost scared to his knees.Hearing Li Wen's question this time, Zhang Suhui could tell that this kid knew that it was his wife. He wrapped his arms around Li Wen's neck, dragged him to a place where no one was around, and asked , "You boy, tell me, didn't you already know?"

"Know what? Do you know that the dancing girl is Mrs. Sister-in-law?" Li Wen smiled wryly.

"Since you know, why didn't you tell me!" Zhang Su turned her teeth back and asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Li Wenbai and Zhang Su glanced back. You are blind, and you blame him for not reminding him? "My wife didn't even recognize her, are you still embarrassed? Didn't my sister-in-law beat you when you went back?"

The ears were almost screwed off by the lady!

After returning, he was punished by his wife to sleep in the study room for half a month, but his wife did not allow him to enter the room to sleep.Every day is either white porridge or pickles, not even a bit of meat... But Zhang Suhui naturally won't tell Li Wen about such a shameful thing.

Seeing Zhang Suhui's appearance, Li Wen knew that he had no good fruit to eat when he returned home, so he patted Mr. Zhang on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Mr. Me." Let you drag me to the brothel every time!The next time he dared to drag him, he would send someone to Zhangfu to deliver a letter to Mrs. Sister-in-law and ask Mrs. Sister-in-law to come and arrest him.

Zhang Su thought back to the white porridge and pickles he had eaten for half a month, "..." He didn't want to go to the brothel to drink flower wine in a short time, and the price of being caught by his wife was a bit miserable.

Mr. Zhang will never admit that he is afraid of his wife.

Master Li is still gloating at other people's misfortune at this moment, as if he has forgotten that he himself was punished miserably when he went back.But it's my own business how to close the door, the rocker has to be straight when you go out the door, and you must maintain a good demeanor and demeanor, Mr. Li kept a smile on his face.

The two got together and became like good brothers again, but the two of them didn't mention the appointment to go to the flower house.
