Chapter 245: Counting the famous figures, lets look at the present day!
Ji Que in the city.
It has become very lively.
The Ji Que where the notice was originally posted was blocked at this moment. There were many soldiers around, all wearing armor and holding swords. In the middle of these soldiers guarding, there were a hundred tables and tables. No one was sitting on these tables at the moment.
.
In front of the desk, a high platform has been built.
Guo Dan is standing on it.
He glanced downwards, unable to hide his excitement, but he did not show it too obviously. In his hand, he held a large iron trumpet, which Qin Luoheng had vacated for sound transmission.
Although it is already dusk, many scholars are arriving one after another.
It’s almost time to meet people.
Guo Dan picked up the big tin speaker.
Loudly said:
"quiet."
"The grand meeting of scholars will begin in two days. There are many scholars coming to Xianyang this time, so Dr. Qin Luoheng has set the meeting place in Hebei. At that time, he will discuss the establishment of civilized governance with all the famous scholars and wise men in the world.
.”
"But..."
"Things have priorities, and knowledge also has levels."
"At present, there are no less than a thousand scholars in Xianyang. In order to give enough respect to the wise men and famous scholars in the world, and to better launch academic disputes, we plan to select 100 famous scholars from hundreds of schools to take seats on the day of the grand meeting. The other scholars
You can only stand and watch.”
"The hundred cases in front of me are prepared for you."
"Sit on your own!"
"The selection of these one hundred candidates was not decided by Dr. Qin Luoheng, but by the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Tingwei Li Si and Yushi Dafu Dun Ruo. This time, the selection of celebrities was not based on official position or official position.
Look at the title, not the status, not the family background, let alone fame.”
"This selection of celebrities is based solely on knowledge and talent!"
"As long as you have real talent and learning, no matter you come from a famous family or a poor family, poor or rich, famous or not, anti-Qin or respecting Qin, even if you are a farmer, craftsman, or a prisoner or a dead man, you will still be
Treat everyone equally."
"As long as you can pass the screening, you will be among the hundred."
"in short."
“This event is open to all origins!”
"Only talent and learning!"
"In the next two days, day and night, the Hebei Palace will be open to you. Each of you can stay inside for up to a quarter of an hour. There will be officials who will provide you with pens, inks, paper and inkstones for you to show off your talents.
.”
Said.
Then four officials came forward and displayed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one.
After the presentation was completed, Guo Dan asked them to put the things on the table. Then he picked up his pen and put pen to paper directly, writing nine big characters quickly.
Immediately, an attendant came forward and displayed the paper in front of everyone.
Guo Dan continued:
"If you count the famous people, look at the present day!"
"This is Dr. Qin's high hopes for the event."
"In these two days, each person will receive a piece of paper for a quarter of an hour, right in Jique. During this quarter of an hour, you will be allowed to use your talents to the fullest. There is no limit to the topic you can write on. As long as you can convince the reviewing officials, you will be able to write.
To be one of the hundred people who take the seat."
"You don't have to worry about fraud."
"The review officer this time has told you."
"They are the prime ministers, royal officials, and court officials of the Qin Dynasty. They have high positions of authority. How could they commit fraud on this matter?"
"Besides."
"This review is done differently than in the past."
"All reviewed for name recognition!"
"You may not understand a little bit."
"Because the writing instrument this time is not a bamboo slip, but the paper just demonstrated. On one side of the paper, there is a special registration of your name. After a hundred copies of the paper are collected, officials will seal them and then hand them over.
To the reviewing officer.”
"After the review results come out, they will be taken directly to Ji Que, where they will be opened and the review results will be read out."
"That is to say, the reviewing officials can't see your names from beginning to end, and the review results only have two ratings, A and B!"
"Rated A, selected."
"Rated B, failed."
"So the announcement said that 100 people would be selected, but the actual number may be less than 100 people, or it may be more than 100 people. We can only know everything after the final results are announced."
"A scholar with a B rating should not be disheartened."
"When the grand meeting is held, mats will be laid around. However, no desks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones will be provided. However, you can still participate in the discussion. Every few feet of mats, a large one like the one in my hand will be placed.
Speaker, you can speak directly like me."
"It's a great honor to bow down to meet its prosperity."
Finished.
He bowed to the scholars around him.
Then he walked off the platform and Shi Shiran left the scene.
It's quiet all around.
Just when everyone was a little surprised and confused, Gu came out with a loudspeaker and said:
"Everyone, please be patient."
"Guo Shangli has informed you of the selection situation one by one."
"You can leave now, or you can take advantage of the cool night to be one step ahead of others, write hard and show off what you have learned. If you want to join, you can enter now, and there will be officials to see you off.
Write pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Finished.
The attendants around him opened a passage.
Directly connected to the desk inside.
A neatly dressed scholar said, "According to what you said, we can go inside and write now. Is there really no limit to what we can write?"
"It's true." Gu nodded.
"What does the official mean by sealing?" the scholar asked again.
Gu replied: "In fact, sealing is similar to sealing. They are both for confidentiality. Sealing is sealed with wood chips. Sealing is also made of wood chips, but only the part with the name is tied with lines. You write
The content will not be affected in any way.”
"You are right to have doubts."
"When the first batch of scholars finish writing, officials will seal it in public. After you read it once, you will understand what it means."
The scholar looked slightly hesitant.
Finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"That's fine."
"You've already come, why not try?"
"I took advantage of the night to try the pen, ink, paper and inkstone provided by Qin Ting, and also to see if my talent could rank among the hundred famous people."
"I will be the first to succeed."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I'm going in."
"Cai----" the crowd roared loudly.
The commoner scholar turned around, bowed to everyone, and went straight inside.
There is the first person.
Soon other scholars followed.
Not long after, the quota of one hundred people was filled. Seeing that almost all of the one hundred people were seated, Gu said in a deep voice to the surrounding people: "Sir, please be silent."
Finished.
It's solid inside.
He took out an hourglass and said loudly: "This is a timekeeper. When all the fine sand inside flows down, it means that the time has expired. You must get up and leave immediately without delay."
"Come here, hold a lamp for the scholars."
"Get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for each scholar."
soon.
Some officials took candles and knelt down beside the desks to provide light for the scholars. At the same time, other officials brought pens, inks, paper and inkstones to the desks of these scholars.
Solid Road:
"Sirs, please leave your names first!"
The scholars who were sitting at the table looked at the paper and soon saw the word "name" on the right side. They picked up their pens and wrote their names on it.
"The timer starts!" Gu Moran said.
At this time.
The scholars had no time to marvel at the magnificence of the paper and the delicacy of the pine smoke ink, so they began to sit upright, thought for a moment, and then began to write directly.
The sound of rustling writing spread throughout Jique.
The surrounding attendants once again surrounded the center of Ji Que.
The scholars outside could only stand on tiptoes and look inside curiously, their eyes full of surprise.
Fusu and Xiao He were also among the crowd.
Looking at the crowd of eager people who gathered like a tide, both of them couldn't help but reveal a strange look.
Xiao He whispered:
"This Dr. Qin is really extraordinary."
“The requirements for choosing celebrities are also different.”
“Choose on merit!”
"All processes are fair and open, and there is no room for fraud. If celebrities from all over the world really gather in Xianyang, the standard of this event will be surprisingly high."
"I came to the right place for this trip."
Fusu looked at Xiao He who was full of hope and sighed: "I feel the same way. I have only been away from Xianyang for half a year. What is happening in this grand event now is something I have never heard of before. He is really different."
Xiao He was stunned.
He looked at Fusu and asked doubtfully: "Eldest Young Master, have you never seen these before?"
Fusu shook his head and said: "Ink, I know, is pine smoke ink. The outside world may not know that this pine smoke ink was made by Qin Luoheng. And I have never seen the iron trumpet used by Guo Dan and the paper on which the ink is applied."
Seen it before.”
"And the hourglass."
"In the past, Xianyang actually used dripping water to tell time."
"If I'm not wrong about these novelties, I'm afraid they all come from Dr. Qin."
Fusu looked a little disappointed.
On the one hand, he was very happy with these changes, but on the other hand, he was very wary of Qin Luoheng's talent. Originally, he had been alerted to Qin Luoheng's "resurrection from the dead", but he never expected that during the time he left Xianyang,
Qin Luoheng caused so many things again.
This made him unable to sit still.
Xiao He didn't notice anything strange about Fusu.
He was surprised and said:
"This doctor is really a polymath."
"When we were in the guest house earlier, someone said that he was a doctor of medicine, capable of fighting dozens of people without losing, and he also knew some methods of solving crimes. Now he can actually do craftsmanship. Such a talented person is really rare in the world."
"If you have the chance, you should see it with your own eyes."
Fusu's brows jumped.
At this time.
There was a rumble.
A quarter of an hour is up.
All the scholars stood up and left the scene without feeling satisfied.
Soon, an attendant came forward and sorted out the papers they used one by one. Then, in front of everyone, he covered the place where the name was written with a wooden board, and then drove in a few iron nails to completely fix the wooden board.
Tie the plank tightly with rope.
Finally, the knotted area was covered with sealing mud and stamped with a seal. After completing this set of tedious operations, the hundred pieces of paper were escorted by the guards to the Prime Minister's Mansion, awaiting final review.
Gu opened his mouth and said:
"Today's test is over, you can leave first."
"Tomorrow at noon, the government will remove the seals, iron nails, wooden boards and other objects in public, and will also read out your ratings in public. If you can't be there at noon, don't worry, there will be someone who will post the names of the selected people on the
Notification in progress.”
"There is still plenty of time."
"You don't have to wait in Jique."
"Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, the second round of testing will begin on time."
Stand upright.
Salute everyone politely.
See the situation.
The scholars began to leave, but their eyes were full of excitement and joy, and they whispered to each other what they felt in their hearts.
