As the saying goes, you are laughing at us for being agricultural, industrial and commercial. Our commercial status is the lowest in society.
And we laugh at you because you won’t be able to bear it if you encounter some natural disaster.
Every time something like this happens, you ordinary people are the worst off.
Even if businessmen like them arrive, if something serious happens, they will be slaughtered like lambs.
But when that happens, it means that you, the people, are in such bad luck that we will be in such a situation!
At this point, everyone laughed.
The current situation is quite good for everyone.
That is, that is.
Everyone started talking, why did he care about those things?
As long as you handle your own affairs well, everything else will be just a cloud.
Indeed, indeed.
"Okay everyone, these things have nothing to do with us.
Come, let’s eat and drink, hahahaha.”
While everyone was eating, drinking and laughing, news came from the court.
In addition to this good news, there is also even greater good news coming from the court.
Today the Holy Spirit requires and encourages all merchants to collect locusts from the people.
After the collection is completed, it will be reported to the government. The one who collects the most will be rewarded with a plaque from the court, and under the imperial examination system next year, direct descendants can go and take the imperial examination.
What?
When they heard the news, the few people who were still chatting there suddenly stood up.
"Are you telling the truth? Is this what the imperial decree really says?"
"Yes, gentlemen, what is written in the court documents is true.
It has been sent to our government, that’s what it says.”
"My dear."
After hearing the news, everyone's eyes lit up for a moment.
If other matters had nothing to do with the big guy, no one would step forward to participate.
But this matter is closely related to each of them.
Especially if they are more closely related to their group of businessmen, can this be understood as a benefit provided by the court to businessmen?
No one doubts that this is false.
Because it is impossible for the court to use this kind of thing to deceive the world.
In other words, these businessmen's children can also arrange for people to join the court as officials.
This is truly the first time since ancient times.
For a moment everyone smiled.
No, this matter is very important. You must go to the government in person and inquire carefully.
On the same day, the news started from Chang'an City and began to spread throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, east, west, north and south.
In response to this matter, Li Er has also firmly grasped it.
Including the implementation of various government orders and what will happen after the implementation of this policy.
As well as how to solve the situations after the meeting, I can say that I have a firm grasp on them.
She doesn't allow anyone to mess with her.
If someone dares to cause trouble, no matter what their identity is, they will be severely punished.
Crazy, crazy, really crazy.
I went to the government and made some inquiries, asked about everything, and finally found out the accuracy of this news.
Suddenly, all the businessmen in the world began to take action.
Merchants have money, but rulers of all dynasties have always rejected those who do business.
Even if the recommendation system was implemented back then, no matter how rich they were, they would not recommend children from merchant families.
To them, this group of businessmen is a scourge, they only know how to make money but not love their country.
As everyone knows, those clan members are sometimes even more outrageous than this group of businessmen.
But there is no way, the power is in other people's hands, and they have the final right to interpret, even if it feels very unfair.
I said, you said that if we do this, the court will give us all this opportunity.
But in the end, will it just cut us some leeks?
After all, if our heirs are going to take the imperial examinations and want to be able to serve as officials in the court, isn't it the Holy One who has the final say?
Everyone is very concerned about cutting leeks.
If they were cut off, wouldn't it be their unlucky thing anyway?
This is wrong. If you had known how complicated the entire process of this year's imperial examination was, you would never have said what you said today.
This year's imperial examination started from the selection of topics, to the writing of the topics, and then to the entrance of the candidates.
Until the last test paper is completed, arrange for manual excerpts and cover up all the names.
Use the excerpts from the test paper for final evaluation. After the evaluation, the current Saint will conduct a final review.
No part of the process can be compromised by anyone.
I'm worried that someone might be operating behind closed doors, but that's absolutely impossible.
After hearing these words, everyone was filled with emotion.
If so, this is really good news.
This means that their businessmen will also enter the court to be used by the Holy One.
Everyone showed their joy, this news was really exciting.
"Everyone, this time it's not that I, as a brother, don't want to let you go.
My descendants are also familiar with documents and want to serve the court.
However, he has been unable to serve Datang due to his status.
Since the Holy One has given us this opportunity, let’s not talk about other things.
How about everyone making their own decisions based on their abilities?"
If you are capable, this opportunity will be yours.
If you have little ability, just wait until next year and then talk about it when you have the opportunity.
Originally we were friends in the trenches, and we agreed that everyone would share weal and woe, but when it comes to our own personal interests, and even the interests of our family.
At this moment, there are no friends, only rivals competing with each other.
In our relationship, we can't have any discrepancies because of these quotas, right?
It's still the same old way, everyone depends on their ability.
If you are capable, you will get this opportunity.
If you are not very capable, you can still get the title of an excellent businessman.
Everyone takes this title of outstanding businessman seriously.
What is the most important thing in daily business?
The most important thing is integrity. If you have integrity, you should also add the golden sign of the imperial court.
Even if they don't enter the court, they can still live their lives peacefully.
Thinking of these, everyone is very excited.
They did the job.
Then he began to arrange a large number of manpower to purchase a large number of locusts in various villages around him.
After collecting all the locusts, go to the government and submit them to the government. The government will arrange for personnel to personally inspect them before submitting them to the court.
For a time, the entire Central Plains began to set off a craze for collecting locusts.
And the common people also heard the news from the court that the locusts were edible.
With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse, I thought about gathering all these locusts in. If I can eat some, let's eat some.
In this way, they would not be seriously injured.
Who knew that they had just collected the front legs and were going to go home and eat them according to the court's instructions.
The next second, people started coming to their village saying they wanted to collect locusts, and the price was quite high.
I heard some people saying that they wanted to collect these things, although they didn't understand why this group of businessmen wanted to collect these things.
But everyone knows that there is money to be made, so it is better not to eat it and sell it directly to make up for the previous losses.
