Chapter 85: Shaking, Demonstration
Jiangnan East Road
At the gate of Dantu County, Runzhou, a list article was posted, which instantly attracted the attention of the people passing by.
"What does it say?"
"Sir, haven't you come yet?"
"Hope is not a notice to increase taxes and service."
...........
Although many people gathered before the notice, there was no literate person and he still needed to wait for the nearby gentleman to come.
But there was no one in the sir. A scholar wearing some thin clothes came, which instantly attracted all his attention. Although he was not a sir, he could just read.
The boy also had some doubts on his face, and he didn't know if there was any notice that would be announced at this time.
Especially before, someone has asked these soldiers at the city gate. Although they are also illiterate, they still asked some information.
For example, this notice was sent from Chang'an, which means it was not a notice from the county and state, but a command from His Majesty to the whole world.
After calculating the time from Chang'an to Jiangnan, it is very likely that the order was issued in the few days after the Chinese New Year, which made the young man excited.
You should know that the things that can be discussed first in the new year are definitely major things that will affect the world.
After making a way out, the boy approached the notice and began to recite.
"Tell the world that people will be in chaos, and the world will be at peace, and there will be insufficient officials in various places, and the imperial examination will be reorganized..."
While reciting the other, the boy was also shocked. You should know that he also had the idea of fame and fortune that had been to Chang'an.
However, in the end hesitated because the journey was too far, and there were old mothers and brothers at home who were supported by him.
He learned a lot from a gentleman, and he became the accountant in a restaurant in Dantu City.
The key is that the master still has a lot of books, which feasted him and taught him a lot of knowledge.
Although life is difficult now, it is much better than most people's families.
Once you go to Chang'an, it takes at least a few months or more to more than a year. What will happen to this family?
After reading it, everyone knew the content of the notice, and many people looked relieved, it was not just a tax service.
As for the change in the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with ordinary people, but the eyes of the poor scholars gathered behind lit up.
You should know that in addition to the long journey in Chang'an, there is also a lot of people enrolled in each imperial examination, with only thirty people.
After several considerations, the children of poor families shook their heads even more, and a penny stumped the hero.
Now, there is a chance. Each imperial examination will be ranked in the top 200 places, and there will be two thousand more places in the whole world.
Although I can only be a minor official, I am already a little bit higher than the accounting or companionship that poor students do nowadays.
Many poor scholars have flashed their eyes and have decided to prepare for the imperial examination. Of course, some people are concerned about the martial arts.
However, the Martial Arts Examination was only first established. If you want to participate, you must come to Chang'an like the previous imperial examination.
Generally, people have many children in their families. They originally thought that the imperial examination was illiterate and had nothing to do with them, but now they seem to be different, but they have something to do with them.
Not only the East Road of Jiangnan, but the manifesto spread throughout the world, and everyone was shocked.
It was the last time when the Lingyan Pavilion and the Quyuan Plough were still there, but it was not that sensation at that time.
The reason is that Lingyan Pavilion has basically nothing to do with the people, and as for Quyuanli, there is not much interest in the children of aristocratic families.
I can say I might listen to it, but I guess I will forget it in a while, but this time it is different.
Both the Shilin and the people were shocked, and even the aristocratic families were considering the changes brought about by the imperial examination.
"We are finally ready for the poor family."
"Farmers can also take the path of joining the army through military training."
"Your Majesty is wise, wuwuwu..."
......
Some people are excited, some are excited, and some are crying with joy because they see the way forward.
They seemed to have their fate fixed at birth. Even if they wanted to change, they were still powerless. This time they rekindled hope.
Chang'an
In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at the information collected by Baiqi, with a hint of joy on his face.
Although he knew that changes in the imperial examination system would definitely cause shock, he did not expect such a big change.
A trace of firmness flashed through Li Shimin's eyes. This time, the imperial examination system did not allow anyone to interfere, especially he got some methods from his father-in-law.
For example, anonymous review, if the markings are all considered invalid, etc., this will prevent some officials from protecting each other because of family and other reasons.
However, Li Shimin's expression soon became gloomy again, because according to Baiqi's information, the rice price in Chang'an rose by one penny.
Don’t underestimate this article, it will affect the people near Chang'an, and these rice merchants are all aristocratic families behind them.
"Is this to show my face?"
A trace of coldness flashed across Li Shimin's eyes and said, it was obvious that this was the aristocratic family expressing their dissatisfaction with the change in the imperial examination to him.
At least in Li Shimin's opinion, but what makes Li Shimin happy is that because of the remaining power of his Xuanwu Sect, these aristocratic families dare not stand up.
This made Li Shimin's expression a little complicated. If you count it, Xuanwu Sect is one of the taboos, and it is not as helpful to him now.
"What are the father of Asia doing recently?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Junxian and asked, with a hint of curiosity on his words.
Because his cheap father-in-law seemed to have become a little quiet recently, this was beyond his expectations.
It seems that everything before was related to these cheap father-in-law, but fortunately it has many benefits for him.
"Mr. An Xuan, it seems that he is busy recruiting students in the academy recently."
Li Junxian said with a hint of strangeness on his face, "If there is no place in Chang'an that needs to be investigated the most, then it's Shu Mansion."
Because every day, many people gathered in front of Shu Mansion, whenever Mr. An Xuan made any moves, he had spread throughout Chang'an without having to explore any of his 100 cavalry.
For example, this time, An Xuangong's academy recruitment caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an. Both aristocratic families and nobles were exploring the standards for academy recruitment.
“College admissions?”
Li Shimin's eyes were stunned and murmured softly. He remembered the last time he went to the farm in Shufu outside Chang'an.
At that time, there were some buildings that made him strange, and they looked like they were academy, but they had important things at the beginning, so they didn't care.
