Reading newspapers does not require a high degree of cultural knowledge, but at least you must be literate and have a certain ability to understand.

What should I do if I go astray?

And we need a lot of such people, so where can we find them?

Guan Ning said: "Reading newspapers only requires basic literacy and understanding. Just look for those old boys and old scholars."

"Aren't these people going around criticizing current affairs and saying that I only kill scholars? Now I will give them a chance."

Several people looked at each other.

They all think this is a good way, not only to find someone, but also to alleviate the current conflict.

"It's just that these people may not apply."

Matsunaga knew very well how much current scholars resisted his Majesty, calling him a butcher tyrant.

"Don't want to?"

Guan Ning said: "The readers are considered as special personnel of the imperial court. They can be naturalized. This also counts as eating royal food. I want to see if they are willing."

All scholars who study the profession, no matter their age, are still young students before they pass the student qualifications.

Just the lowest level.

After repeated failures and difficult exams, I could only copy letters and write copybooks for others.

Naturalization means joining the system. Even if you are not in the mainstream, you have entered the system, right?

Even those who pass the exam may not have this opportunity.

Only a fool would refuse.

Guan Ning saw it very clearly. No matter in any era, the establishment was a hot rice bowl, and the involution was severe.

The end of the universe is preparation.

"Send it out directly and someone will definitely apply."

Guan Ning said: "But I agreed with them that there will be a probation period, and if they don't work well, they won't be hired."

"yes."

Several people thought it was okay.

"Official newspapers need to be run for a long time, so a special department has to be set up to be responsible for it, which is under the Ministry of Rites."

Guan Ning said: "The chief editor of the official newspaper is Zhao Wenbin."

"Zhao Wenbin?"

Matsunaga nodded.

"He is indeed the right person."

Zhao Wenbin was once the head of the Novel Pavilion of the Imperial College.

When he became emperor, all his friends from the Imperial College were promoted and appointed.

These people are all talented.

People like Li Yiyun, the head of the Shige Pavilion, and Du Xiucai, the head of the Ci Pavilion, were all reused.

They were assigned to the local level and became key officials.

"I will finalize the first issue of the official newspaper."

Guan Ning was worried that they still couldn't figure it out, so he guided them to make a version first.

They also need to guide how to publicize the news, which must create a sensation and allow the newspaper to have an impact in the shortest possible time.

From now on, the official newspaper will be the official media and must become the direction of public opinion...

The matter was settled.

Several people were slightly relieved.

I believe that the official newspaper can play a role and will definitely restore some reputation for His Majesty.

"Although the launch of official newspapers can improve things, something else needs to be done."

Lu Zhaoling said: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to recruit scholars."

When a new emperor takes the throne, he will do two things.

One is to grant amnesty to the world, and the other is to open up subjects to recruit scholars.

The former is to win over the common people, and the latter is to win over the scholars.

Nowadays, scholars are strongly resisting His Majesty, and there are widespread rumors in the court and even among the people that His Majesty values ​​military affairs over literature.

This is of no benefit to the government at all.

In fact, they all know that His Majesty does not value military affairs over literature.

Otherwise, why would these people be standing here?

At present, there is actually a separation of civil and military affairs.

It's just that the opening of subjects to obtain a bachelor's degree has been delayed until now, and it must start.

"Yes, it's time for Your Majesty to use Enke."

"The process of opening a subject to obtain a scholar is cumbersome. Even if it is carried out now, it will take at least two years. Not to mention other things, even the vacancies in the imperial court should be filled."

Everyone gave advice.

This is the main purpose of their coming together.

"Your Majesty, I am already old."

Lu Zhaoling said: "When Enke is over, it's time for me to retire."

Everyone was slightly startled.

It is said that Xue Huairen was a veteran of two dynasties, and so is this one.

Lu Zhaoling is one year older than Xue Huairen.

He was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel during the reign of Emperor Longjing, and has continued to this day.

When the new dynasty was first established, the situation was unstable and there was a shortage of important positions.

It was Lu Zhaoling who helped him get through the most difficult period and promoted the reform of officialdom.

His contribution is indelible.

He had already reached the age of retirement, and he had been supporting him just because he wanted to wait for the end of the first semester of the new dynasty.

Because this matter cannot be circumvented by him, the official minister.

"Well, it's time to start."

Guan Ning understood the thoughts of several people.

In order to prevent several veterans from misunderstanding, he also specially explained: "The reason why I have delayed it until now is not because I am unwilling, but because I don't have the opportunity."

"When the new dynasty was first established, there was still chaos in various places. For example, the northern region was seriously damaged by the war. If we were to recruit scholars, no one would be able to participate, so what is the recruitment of scholars?"

Several people nodded.

This is indeed the case.

The imperial examination has a complicated process, including the provincial examination, the provincial examination, the state examination, and the Beijing examination.

At that time, many places did not even have chief officials, so how could they hold encores?

Who will organize it?

Moreover, at that time, the south had not yet come under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so it did not meet the conditions.

"We have to do different things at different times, what is urgent and what is not urgent."

Guan Ning said: "The most important thing during this period is to restore stability and restore people's livelihood."

There was another reason he didn't say.

At that time, the country was still a prosperous country, and the candidates psychologically regarded themselves as candidates from the old dynasty.

I would say it was during the Yuanwu period of Dakang.

This is not appropriate.

Now that the country name has been changed and everything is starting over, there will be no problems.

The conditions are already met.

"Then the cabinet is going to draft a decree and notify all localities to hold rural examinations first."

Gong Liangyu said: "The Ministry of Rites can also start preparations."

"yes."

Matsunaga said hurriedly: "We must make it public and publish it in our official newspaper."
To be continued...
