"Your Highness, this is the list of scholars you want to take part in the examination this time..." As he spoke, Zhang Tang and his two men carried a pile of heavy bamboo slips up to the attic to report.
Liu De immediately put down other things and stepped forward.
Looking at those bamboo slips, Liu De felt like he was seeing a golden mountain.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China's ruling class has known that the key to a country's strength lies in winning people.
Li Kui assisted Wei, and when Wei became strong and powerful, Sun Bin entered Qi. Qi immediately emerged from decline and rose up, known as the Eastern Emperor. Wu Qi went to Chu, and Chu, the oldest kingdom, immediately regained its second spring. Shang Yang entered Qin, which directly laid the foundation for the unification of Qin.
The situation of the world.
As a time traveler, how could Liu De not understand the importance of intellectuals?
At this time, the total population of the entire country is no more than 30 million. Last year, the number of registered households in all local counties and counties, calculated by the central government, was only over 5 million, with a population of 27 million.
"Your Highness, a total of 3,455 scholars have applied for this examination. Their names, place of origin, and schools of thought are all registered on these bamboo slips!" Zhang Tang reported.
"Well done!" Liu De nodded appreciatively.
For Liu De's cheap dad, these bamboo slips are the ultimate reason why he supports and allows Liu De to carry out examinations in Chang'an!
As far as the emperor of the Han Dynasty was concerned, in exchange for the quota of a dozen hundred-stone officials, he could conduct a census and registration of the scholars in Guanzhong and Guandong and Guanxi. This deal was a great deal!
And Liu De also needed these bamboo slips to prove to the courtiers and cheap dad that he was not messing around.
Liu De picked up one of the bamboo slips, looked at it, and asked, "Are the white papers ready?"
"His Highness, I have ordered one hundred thousand pieces of qualified white paper to be sealed. I will issue them out as soon as Your Highness gives the order..." Zhang Tang replied confidently.
"That's good..." Liu De was flipping through the bamboo slips, and suddenly a name came into his eyes: "Master Fuyan?"
Liu De laughed. Isn't this the guy who claims to be "reverse"? It complements Gongsun Hong's "If a man is born with five pots of food, he will die with five pots of food". It can be said that it is a brilliant moment.
However, although this guy had a very bad character, the grand unified theory he later proposed was deeply in Liu De's heart.
What's more, Liu De also felt a little guilty...
Liu De's promotion policy was copied from someone else's...
Therefore, Liu De calmly wrote down the name. Well, let's give him a spot as compensation!
Although he is not ashamed of his father-in-law, Liu De himself is not a good bird, let alone a holy mother.
To put it further, none of the European colonists in later generations were good birds. They were all rogues, thugs, and bandits who committed all kinds of evil. But it was these bastards who went out to kill, burn, and rob, and they destroyed the poor people of Europe.
The tinkling place has become the center of the world.
Speaking more closely... ahem, Liu De's great-grandfather Liu Bang was not a good person.
"My name is meritocracy..." Liu De found himself a bright coat.
Taking the bamboo slips and reading the last line, another name came into view. When Liu De saw it, he was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Tang, and then he laughed.
"Yan Yi..." Liu De looked at the place of origin of the person named Yan Yi: Jinan.
now it's right!
Therefore, Liu De decisively decided to appoint someone again.
If not for anything else, Zhang Tang, who was forced by this extraordinary appearance, had no choice but to invent a charge of "absolute slander" to get rid of him, which shows that this person is indeed talented and capable!
Moreover, as a time traveler, Liu De knows more.
This Yan Yi ancestor is very prominent.
His ancestor was the most outstanding of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, Kong Zhongni, who was revered as Yan Zi by later generations.
Moreover, just like in the later blockbuster movies about Rice Emperor, the president is not a black man, so there must be a black man among the heroes who save the world. Liu De must ensure that among the people he admits, there must be a Confucian!
This is called political correctness!
Otherwise, those Confucian guys will cause trouble...
Children who cry are fed by milk...
Nowadays, there are only a few successful people in Confucianism, so it is inevitable that Yan Yi will occupy the quota.
That’s it, there are two places...
But Liu De has to continue reading...
As the first examination in history, naturally, in order for it to succeed, black box operations are inevitable.
In order to prevent the final selection of idiots, Liu De could only rely on his advantage as a person who was reborn in time to select in advance from these more than 3,000 people those aristocrats who would become famous in the future and whose talents were proven by facts.
Children.
After flipping through the pages, another name jumped out: Sima Xiangru!
have to!
Liu De sighed with emotion, in his previous life, this Sima Xiangru was really famous all over the world.
As famous as his literary quality is his character.
Zhuo Wenjun is such a good girl, but she was almost abandoned by this guy...
However, this guy's poor character has nothing to do with Liu De. He is a ruler, not a member of the moral committee. As long as he can do things and has the ability, it will be fine. And this Sima Xiangru played an important role in developing and expanding the territory in the southwest.
functional.
However, Liu De remembered, shouldn't Sima Xiangru be recruited by his literary uncle? In the following years, he also wrote immortal masterpieces such as Zixu Fu.
Why did he appear on the list of candidates for the examination?
Well, sending Sima Xiangru as an undercover agent, Liu Wu's literary and youthful character would not be able to do such a dirty thing.
It was probably a butterfly effect that caused Sima Xiangru to not go to Liu Wu for some reason.
"Since you're here, let's accept it..." Liu De thought for a while and made a decision. It's better to raise a great writer like Sima Xiangru. Even if he is raising him, he can't do anything.
It's better not to do it than to let him out and write random articles!
Liu De did not hope that there would be an opposition Lu Xun in the future, and wrote articles to scold him every day...
"As for Zhuo Wenjun and so on, I reluctantly accept it for you..." Liu De added in his heart: "You can go and seduce those powerful ladies..."
Cao Ah Man has always been Liu De’s idol!
"I will support your wife!" This shows the true style of a man!
What man wouldn’t want a woman like Zhuo Wenjun who is both beautiful and talented, and who can share the joys and sorrows with his man?
Thinking of Zhuo Wenjun, Liu De suddenly thought that it seemed that she was still a lolita, maybe not much older than Ajiao Chen?
Well...this is the rhythm of becoming a lolicon!
Continuing to browse, Liu De identified several noble children. These were all people who later served as officials above Qianshi. Three of them even served as county guards. Moreover, these people were all from good backgrounds, and they were all from Chehou Hou's family.
's disciple.
Just like this, nine of the twelve places were taken up, and Liu De planned to save the remaining three for when someone takes the back door, or when a real genius is discovered.
