The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Master Li is here..."

The person who opened the door saw Li Wen coming from the door, and shouted, and everyone inside ran out one after another.

Li Wen was a little helpless about this, it wasn't the first time these people saw him, why was there such a big commotion every time they saw him come over?In modern terms, these people treat him like a great god, and they only need to enshrine his idol.

The funniest thing was that once, he heard someone clasped his hands behind him, worshiped him, and muttered something, saying that with Li Liuyuan, he would definitely pass the exam and so on.This is like the time before their university exams, some people are reposting various pictures, such as begging XX not to fail, and begging XX to pass every exam.

"I'm here today for something." Li Wen signaled everyone to go inside. He saw two good friends and smiled at them.Shen Zijing responded with a brilliant smile, a bit silly, Su Yuan turned his face away, and stopped looking at this fool.

"Yes, look at us, Mr. Li, please come inside."

"Get some tea."

A group of people entered the room, because they didn't know that Mr. Li would come over today, so they didn't clean up the things on the table

The things in the room are very messy. There are a lot of paper books on each table. It can be seen at a glance that people seldom clean up here. Even if they are cleaned up, when everyone gets busy, things are messy In a ball, basically no one would spend time sorting out these things, so it became the picture you see now.

Some people see that their desktop is too messy, and they reach out to tidy it up secretly.

Li Wen seldom comes here. He himself is usually very busy. If there are any current affairs or news that he wants to release, he will be sent here.Sitting down on the chair, Li Wen asked everyone who was standing to sit down. Noticing someone's movements, he smiled and said, "Don't clean up, don't clean up, it's okay."

"You are usually very busy, right?" From the things inside, it can be seen that everyone is usually very busy..

The members of the newspaper office are basically settled down, and Li Wen basically knows all the people here, and everyone can call out their names.

Here, Shen Zijing and Su Yuan came in from behind, and after a few months, the two of them have integrated into the group.Shen Zijing was able to speak well, and his writing was sharp and up to standard. Scholars all had a bit of arrogance to their talents. These scholars in the newspaper office had a bit of it, but they didn't care about people who were as talented as them. Not repelling, but generously welcoming the other party to join them, a bit like like attracts like, and people are divided into groups.

Although Su Yuan didn't talk much, he talked less and did more. He was a practical person, so he didn't come in for a long time, and was quickly accepted by his companions.

"Everything is okay, everything is okay." Zhang Qing said.

Zhang Qing was the first batch of Chengyuan who came into the newspaper office. He was the oldest among the group, with a calm and steady personality, and he was steady in his work.He could help coordinate any conflicts among members of the newspaper office, so when the president was elected later, he was elected as the president of the newspaper office and became the representative of this group of people.

There must be busy times and non-busy times in a newspaper office. There are relatively few non-busy times, and usually more busy times.Once any major event occurs in the capital, all of them are the busiest at this time. Usually, a group of people have to stay up late at this time to write and organize manuscripts, and it is common to be busy until late at night.

They have all the news sources in the entire capital. They have to pick out the news, select useful news, sort it out, and publish it in the newspaper.There is also the latest news from the court, and they also have to sort it out and write it into an article. Generally, articles that touch political sensitivity have to be sent to Mr. Cao Hanlin for review.

There are also some gossip news from the major families in the capital. These are usually sent by someone from Xiao Shizi, and these news need a little knowledge to get them.

Since they were here at the newspaper office, they have been in control of all the big and small disappearances in the entire capital. This year's experience has given them a lot of knowledge and knowledge.If it is said that some of them used to write flashy articles without depth, but now everyone has been trained to be good at writing articles. These are knowledge that they cannot learn outside.

Many of them are students who are preparing for the scientific examination, and they have talked in private, if they fail the examination next time, they will continue to work in the newspaper office, which is actually a good way out.they are from out of town

Students, during the years of studying in the capital while preparing for the scientific examination, they have seen too many things. If they are admitted to Jinshi, they may not be able to be sent to a good official or have a good future. It is just hard work for so many years , They are just unwilling to be reconciled, they have to try before they are reconciled.

They are now working with Mr. Li, and the newspaper office has passed the Ming road with the emperor and obtained approval.Although the newspaper office is not considered a government agency, they can do what they like here, and the articles they write are published on the newspaper, and the whole capital, and even the people in Dacheng can see it. Outside, seeing the people reading newspapers in their hands, they felt a sense of pride in their hearts.

When I heard this, I didn't tell the truth. Li Wen asked a few words about everyone's situation at the newspaper office, and everyone said it was very good.Li Wen took out the stamped manuscript from his sleeve and said, "I came here today to tell you something. There is also this piece of news that I want you to publish in the newspaper tomorrow. You all take a look."

Li Wen handed the manuscript to Shen Zijing who was sitting closest to him. Shen Zijing looked down. The Ministry of Commerce was formally established?

After Shen Zijing finished reading it, he passed it on to the next person, and the people behind him passed it on one by one.

Li Wen continued, "Have you all seen what was circulated just now? This is the approval I received from the emperor today. I will establish a business department independent of the six ministries. This department is only responsible for managing and negotiating business matters. You are all scholars, some of you are from good backgrounds, and some of you are just from ordinary families.

You should all know that my background is very ordinary. Before I was admitted to the No. [-] Scholar, the ancestors of our Li family had mud legs for generations, digging food in the ground. "

Li Wen has never concealed his origin. He was born in an ordinary peasant family. There is nothing shameful or invisible about it. The lives of ordinary people can be understood and empathized with.

Everyone read a piece of paper. Naturally, everyone also noticed the seal and the emperor's signature on it. They saw the emperor's signature. Some people were a little excited, although it was not the first time they saw this. Sealed, but every time they see it, they feel a little excited for no reason.

Only their Master Li has this ability, and they can't help but admire Master Li for being able to get this seal from the emperor.

Li Wen didn't know that at these times, there were still people who worshiped him inexplicably.

Seeing that everyone had finished circulating the piece of paper, and finally it returned to his hands, Li Wen continued, "If you can stay in the newspaper office, I believe you are a group of excellent people. You are all scholars. , are all educated people, so I think, you should all have ideas and know how to think, instead of standing still

"Why am I sitting here today? First of all, I want to talk to you about the Ministry of Commerce. Later, you may need to pay attention to the trends of the Ministry of Commerce, and guide the people to pay attention to this matter. Busy news, let the merchants We all know such a thing.”

When it comes to the Department of Commerce, it is natural to talk about business and merchants. Why is such a department established and what is the role of this department? Farmers, businessmen, it’s all nonsense! Everyone has their own strengths, farmers cultivate the land, officials manage the place, craftsmen make all kinds of things, similarly, businessmen also have their strengths.”

"The food crops produced by the people, the porcelain tools made by the craftsmen, etc., all of these things need to pass through the hands of the merchants before they can be sold to another place. In the middle, the merchant is like a button that binds all people together. They are all connected together." He had to break some inherent concepts in people's minds, so that these scholars could understand that all people in this world are indispensable, and businessmen are also an important part of it.

The idea that all people are born equal may be too advanced, but he can guide everyone's thinking in this direction. The people in the newspaper office, their ideas and the direction of the article are very important. Borrowing from them The hand can guide public opinion, and naturally it can also guide the thoughts of ordinary people.

"The Department of Commerce, as the name suggests, is a department that manages business and coordinates business development... It can better guide business people in which direction to develop, and let our Dacheng business develop better."

"There will be some relevant policies coming out later, and I will have someone send the news to you at that time. All you have to do is sort out the news and publish it on the newspaper. If you have any ideas,

You can also write your ideas into articles. Of course, I hope you can dig deeper and write something more in-depth.I will read the newspapers in the past, and I have noticed all the articles you wrote..." Li Wen talked about some problems in the article, commented on the style of several people's articles, and expressed his opinions.

It turns out Master Li is paying attention to them all the time!

All of you here are excited, well, they will definitely write better articles, absolutely

Master Li will not be disappointed!
