Chapter 397 Chapter 397

After the examination, the capital is extremely lively. For the candidates, those who failed can pack up and go home, while those who passed the examination can start making friends and relationships in the capital to strive for a good ranking in the imperial examination.

Since the test papers and answer sheets are bought by the candidates themselves, even if they fail, they can take them back. Many people are either reluctant to part with the answer sheets they paid for or want to see if there are any comments from the examiner on their papers.

, one after another went to the designated government office to collect their answer sheets.

Many people saw that their answer sheets in the second or third session were commented by the examiner, but their performance in the first session was not good enough, so they were ready to go back and work hard on the eight-part essay to the end.

Later, someone discovered that there was a line of childish handwriting on his paper, followed by the seal of the East Palace. His eyes widened immediately and he hurriedly shared this surprise with others.

Soon, everyone started asking people around them if they had gotten any reviews from the prince.

Although there are not many, they are really there!

After studying the comments from the Prince, the candidates found that although the comments were not very literate, they were all praiseworthy. The candidates who got the comments from the Prince were very excited. They studied hard in the cold window just to "learn the arts and martial arts."

"With the imperial family"?

At first, they thought that the prince was only eight or nine years old and that entering the Gongyuan was just a formality. Unexpectedly, the prince not only changed the difficult questions for them, but also carefully read the answer sheets!

What Prince likes to comment on the most is judgment questions, and every review that Prince comments on is really well written, which shows that Prince can really understand it!

So, the prince likes talents in criminal law?

Many people are a little moved. Theoretically, everyone must study criminal law books such as "Da Gao" in their judgment class. However, since the time to prepare for the exam is precious, they need to spend more time studying historical writing, which naturally makes it easier.

I won’t put too much thought into the second and third games.

Since the prince likes it, they should study it more often!

After all, the prince is already so wise now, and he will probably be able to participate in government affairs in a few years. If they are really admitted, they might be able to show their talents to the prince!

The selection of successors in the Ming Dynasty strictly followed the eldest son inheritance system. There were basically no disputes over the throne. There was little suspicion between the emperor and the prince. At most, they were just not so close. For example, Emperor Taizong wanted to fight all day long and stayed in the Ming Dynasty.

The person who supervises the country in the capital is Emperor Renzong, and the number of times he supervises the country is not once or twice!

Their current majesty is not a moody person, and has a very kind-hearted personality. If they are lucky enough to become officials in Chunfang in the future, their majesty will not be displeased by helping the prince with a clear stand.

At this moment, the candidates who received the Prince's comments looked at the comments on the paper and had a new goal in mind: they must pass the exam as soon as possible and strive to work for the Prince in the future!

Start by learning more about criminal law every day!

I don't know if the little prodigy Wang knew about their determination, but a newspaper called Xinbao quietly came out on the eve of the imperial examination. Along with it, there were newsstands located in every corner of the capital.

The newsstand was once known as the "flower on the city's lapel". Those thin pieces of paper once made more people hear the almost hoarse shouts in the dark and ignorant era.

The era has brought countless news, poems, essays, and novels into thousands of homes.

True wealth should not only include a table full of wine and meat, but also spiritual satisfaction and improvement.

The procedures for the new newspaper have been completed long ago, and Brother Wen had already arranged the matter in front of the Tribute Courtyard.

After finishing the busy work of invigilating and grading exams, Brother Wen took a day off.

Lead your friends to check and accept the results, and treat this as a party.

The most important thing in the operation of the entire New Paper is the movable type printing workshop. This workshop is located near the Taoist Temple in Zhang Laodao. Many craftsmen worked for a whole month to create the common characters finalized by Brother Wen. The remaining special words can be used when needed.

Make up for it now.

If there are any technical problems, you can go to professionals like Zhang Laodao to solve them in time.

Li Zhaoxian, the person who works in the Ministry of Works, takes the most careful look. Others think that the Ministry of Works ranks last among the six ministries, but he feels that working in the Ministry of Works is very interesting, especially after talking to Brother Wen every time.

I find these tasks extremely meaningful.

Li Zhaoxian also personally sat between the two wheels and tried to imitate the way a workshop worker turned the wheels to find words.

Brother Wen thought this picture was very good and asked Zhou Chen and others to help draw it.

Tang Bohu also came to play with him. After hearing what Brother Wen said, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Why don't you let me draw? I can draw too!"

Brother Wen said deliberately: "Mengjin and the others have gotten better and better at painting after they went to Dunhuang. I'm afraid you won't be able to compete with them!"

Tang Bohu had been wandering around proudly for a few days. The last thing he heard was "You can't compare to them." He immediately turned to Zhang Ling and the others and said, "Come, let's paint together." He also asked Li Zhao to sit there and not move.

, be their painting tools.

Brother Wen laughed and said to Li Zhaoxian: "Brother, why don't you arrange an article for the teacher and try printing it yourself and take it back to the teacher for a look."

Li Zhaoxian was a little moved when he heard this. He knew that Li Dongyang didn't like him going to the Ministry of Industry. He was a filial son and wanted to make Li Dongyang happy.

So the group either chose words to type on the letterpress, spread out the drawing paper to draw, or sat together to eat, drink and chat, happily spending a long time.

Li Zhaoxian, a novice, actually typed out one of Li Dongyang's proud articles and personally experienced how to print movable type.

"It's really convenient." Li Zhaoxian praised as he looked at the printed article.

Brother Wen said with a smile: "We've all arranged it. Let's print some more and take them back to our relatives and friends. It can also be considered as a warm-up for the new paper."

At noon, Xu Jing, a new member of the New Society, entertained guests. Xu Jing's pockets were very generous and he allowed everyone to eat as much as they wanted without worrying about starving him.

When everyone learned that not only had their ancestors been wealthy, but he was also extremely wealthy now, they all turned their envy and jealousy into strength and brutally slaughtered him, a rich man.

Brother Wen also welcomed the new member Xu Jing with great enthusiasm. With such a big businessman here, if you have any plans in the future and need investment, you can contact him. Who doesn't like moving money bags!

Xu Jing quickly integrated into the large collective of Xinshe and felt the warmth of the organization that he had never experienced before.

After learning about Brother Wen's new newspaper, he even asked Brother Wen if he could authorize him to open a new newspaper branch in Nanzhili. He asked his family to follow the model of the capital, and they could hire people for everything from printing to distribution.

If they can do it, as long as they can get the manuscript as soon as possible, they can send it back to Jiangnan for printing as quickly as possible.

By then, readers in Jiangnan will be able to read new newspapers as soon as possible!

The publishing time may be delayed by a few days, but it is still much faster than selling the new newspaper and then sending it back to Jiangnan.

The most important thing is that all expenses are borne by their family and no money from the court is required!

Brother Wen didn't expect Xu Jing to be so proactive. Since the court didn't need to spend money or send people, it just needed to produce a draft, he naturally had no reason not to agree.

It’s just that the first phase is already behind schedule, and the Xu family will probably have to prepare for it for three or two months.

Xu Jing said happily: "I will write a letter to my family to start preparations."

The Jiangnan branch had to start preparations from scratch, so Brother Wen first devoted himself to the sale of the first issue of the new paper.

The workshop was ready, the newsstands were opened, and the content of the first issue of the new newspaper was officially compiled with the joint efforts of Zhan Shifu.

After Brother Wen returned to Zhan Shi's Mansion, he read through the eight pages of content selected by Wang Hao and others, and after a little typesetting, he planned to print them.

Wang Hao laughed and joked: "You, the founder, haven't selected a single article."

During the manuscript selection period, Brother Wen was locked up in the Gongyuan and had no chance to participate.

Brother Wen took out the founding slogan written by Li Dongyang and argued: "Why didn't you choose? Teacher, I personally asked for this article! What's more, what can't I trust in the vision of you and Teacher? I used to learn to write articles.

Let’s learn from your articles.”

Wang Haolang smiled and said, "Then go ahead and get busy."

Brother Wen sent the compiled content for printing, and added a picture next to Li Dongyang's article, which showed Li Zhaoxian sitting between two large turntables choosing words.

This picture is the one painted by Zhou Chen. It’s not that Zhou Chen is the most spiritual, but that he used the simplest lines to outline the richest picture.

Tang Yin was very dissatisfied because his picture was not selected. He said that Brother Wen would definitely regret losing the title of No. 1 in this subject!

Brother Wen smiled and said: "It's not a sad loss. I will definitely give you a special interview when you get the top prize."

Tang Yin was just talking, and he was happy to hear what Brother Wen said. He had followed Brother Wen to understand the contents of the newspaper, and naturally knew what the interview was about. He immediately said with a look of arrogance: "What do you want then?

It’s not that easy to interview me.”

Just, it feels a bit like "Today you are ignoring me, but tomorrow I will make you climb high".

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Everything went very smoothly.

The day before the imperial examination, early in the morning, the streets and alleys could be heard shouting "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers" from the new newspaper boys. They all liked this job that allowed them to earn pocket money and happily held the newspapers.

He ran and shouted, and when he got to a crowded place, he sang "The Newspaper Selling Song" together, which attracted many people to stop and listen.

Even the newspaper boy who was not there to pick up or deliver newspapers learned a few lines and sang along with great interest.

All the officials in the DPRK and Central Government have heard of the name of the New Paper. Now that they know that the New Paper has finally been officially launched, they will naturally ask people to buy a copy as soon as possible.

For those who have made reservations in advance, it is even easier, just wait for the paper boy to deliver the paper to your door.

All the newsstands and newsboys were busy all morning, and all the first issues of the new newspapers were sold out.

If you still want to buy it, you can only see if the number of pre-orders can meet the printing requirements before the second issue of the new report is printed.

If it cannot be achieved, it will not be printed. Renxinbao is so willful!

Some readers who came late could only check the newsstand to see if there were other books they needed.

At noon, there were many idle people on the street who had eaten and drank. The newsstand also launched a newspaper reading activity. People who had not bought a newspaper could come and listen to what was written in the newspaper.

Some of the people who guarded the newsstands and read newspapers came from social studies and some came from almshouses. Many of them either had no land or relatives at home, or they were in urgent need of saving money to continue their studies.

Brother Wen has been in contact with them a lot since he was a child. After becoming an official, he naturally kept his promise and found more ways for them to make a living. As long as he is willing to learn and work hard, he can always make money!

After Brother Wen's operation, everyone in the capital, both literate and illiterate, knew about the publication of the first issue of the new paper.

Tang Yin and other prospective Jinshi scholars each had a share.
Chapter completed!
