After the Eastern Palace acquiesced in the marriage between the emperor and the Huns, the criticism in the court about the matter disappeared instantly.±
On the contrary, the people are quite enthusiastic about it.
However, most people's attention is also focused on the differences between foreign women and Chinese women.
Basically no one is worried about whether the marriage of a Hun princess will contaminate the Chinese bloodline.
In this era, China has not experienced the Five Hunan Rebellions or the Anshi Rebellion, and the entire society is still very open.
It has long been common for people from the Yi and Di to serve as generals and even princes in China. There seems to be nothing wrong with the emperor marrying a Hun princess.
Compared with marrying a clan daughter in China, the result of such a marriage is already beyond the expectations of the general public.
Some people may even think that the Han Dynasty took advantage!
The Hun envoy was equally happy.
Historically, the Huns had a tradition of controlling other countries' internal affairs by marrying out princesses or noble women.
For large countries in the Western Regions such as Wusun and Kangju, the left wife or queen of their leader must be a Huns.
This successful marriage with the Han Dynasty in the East was a political achievement for the Xiongnu mission! This was an achievement!
After returning to China, everyone can rely on this political achievement to gain promotion to a higher position!
Two days later, Liu Che issued an edict: "Gong Qing, the official, entrusted the general strategy. Unify the class, spread the education, and beautiful customs. The husband is benevolent and ancestral, and he praises the virtuous and the virtuous. He encourages the good and punishes the violent. This is what the five emperors and three kings have done. I am here."
I have been working hard and sleeping all night, and Jia and the people in Yunei are on the same road. I have heard that in a town with ten houses, there must be loyalty and trustworthiness. If three people walk together, there will be my teacher. What a sincere statement!
He ordered the prime minister, the royal censor, and the nine ministers of the Shaofu to have ministers, and they would go through the examination together to select heroes and intelligent people to serve as ministers, and appoint knowledgeable people. Talented people and virtuous people should each have their own place, participate in political affairs, and pray for advancement.
Popular support!
This edict heralds that this year's examinations will begin.
Sure enough, the next day, personnel and equipment began to be evacuated from the seven Southern Military Academy grounds and four Northern Military Academy grounds in Chang'an City, as well as more than a dozen Shaofu properties.
On the dew cloth, there was also a notice about the arrangements and date of the examination.
Not only that. In some areas where scholars gathered, there were officers from the Neishi Yamen who would go to the noisiest places in the city three times a day in the morning, noon and evening to announce the start date of the examination and the registration method.
The first round of examinations will officially start on Xinmao in the summer of the first year of Yuande.
Calculate the time. It will be almost thirty days later.
However, from now on, all scholars can go to the Shaofu or Neishi Yamen to register.
The registration method can accept the use of any official document that can prove one's identity and place of origin, such as "biography", "road guide" and "household registration slip".
Of course, in order to highlight the Han Dynasty’s national policy of focusing on farming.
Therefore, applicants with municipal registration must pay an additional tax of 120 yuan.
This is a piece of cake for most local wealthy merchants. Anyway, the court's discrimination against merchants is not something that happens in a day or two.
…………………………………………
"How many scholars have applied for the examination?" A few days later, Liu Che asked Uncle Tian, the internal historian, and Cen Mai, the Shaofu, who were appointed to take charge of the registration work for this examination.
"Your Majesty, so far, the Shaofu has registered a total of 3,455 people!" Cen Mai answered first.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 4,000 scholars registered in the Veterans Department..." Uncle Tian also bowed and replied.
Liu Che nodded, that's almost 8,000 people.
As time goes by, the number of applicants will definitely continue to increase, especially those scholars who heard the news and began to come to Chang'an, as well as those who were already in Guanzhong.
"My dear friends, I have been working hard these days. Pay attention to maintaining the order of registration, especially when the weather is hot. Make sure to provide the scholars with some sour plum soup, herbal tea and other summer-relieving soups. Don't be afraid to spend money. This is the country's
All the expenses for the talent promotion ceremony will come out of my young master’s treasury!" Liu Che ordered.
In the private treasury of his emperor, there are twenty or thirty savings of two generations of emperors since Emperor Taizong Xiaowen!
Although a lot of money was spent on countering the rebellion last year, dealing with the Huns, and providing disaster relief in recent years.
However, that is still an unimaginable astronomical figure.
Moreover, as long as Liu Che doesn't imitate Xiaozhu's behavior of randomly repairing the palace and building large-scale construction projects, if this money is only used to maintain the normal expenses of the current palace, there will be no day when it will be spent!
Because the speed of spending money will never be as fast as the speed of making money...
At present, the Han Dynasty's annual head tax alone brings in hundreds of millions!
The output income of other Shanze Salt Ponds, as well as the Shaofu itself, is similar to this figure.
In addition to the land rent from Shanglinyuan and the income from fake farmland of various government agencies.
And Liu Che himself didn't spend much money. He was not a luxurious emperor. Since he took the throne, one of his biggest expenses was to reward the orphans and widows in the world as well as the princes and kings after he took the throne.
As for the East Palace, Mrs. Dou is a frugal person. To this day, the Empress Dowager has maintained the habits of when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was on the throne. Even the clothes she wears are those of the maids and waitresses around her in Changle.
The palace raised its own silkworms and weaved the silk.
Empress Dowager Bo was even more frugal. Liu Che heard that this Empress Dowager was even frugal in her diet. Each meal consisted of three dishes and two soups.
As for Liu Che's harem, due to the short time he took the throne, he has only enthroned one wife so far, and the expenses are less than those of his emperor father!
Under such circumstances, Liu Che can now have a balance of at least 30,000,000 yuan after one year, after deducting the rewards given to the princes and kings, the expenses of the imperial tombs of the past dynasties, Liu Che's own expenses, and the expenses of the Eastern Palace.
This money, placed in the warehouse, cannot escape the fate of decay.
Might as well take it out and spend it!
When Uncle Tian and Cen Mai heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty has extended your kindness to the scholars. I, on behalf of all the scholars in the world, would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty!"
There has never been such a generous emperor as Liu Che in the history of the Han Dynasty!
Even Emperor Taizong Xiaowen rarely used his private money for foreign dynasties.
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "No need to flatter me!"
He took two steps and asked: "My dear friends, can you help me find some novelists, preferably the most famous among them? I have some things that I want them to do!"
The novelist is actually the biggest gossip party in Chang'an City.
This school of thought may be unknown in later generations and few people know about it, but it can be called the earliest author of fantasy novels.
The representative works of their group include "The Story of Han Wu" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", etc.
The stories written by these guys are ridiculous and unimaginable, but they look like they are the same.
Liu Che naturally approached them and asked them to write a storytelling novel similar to the later Sui and Tang heroes and the Legend of the Ming Dynasty, which the common people loved to read, could express their patriotism, and could deify Liu's rule to a certain extent.
Liu Che even thought of the name for them.
It's called "The Legend of the Heroes of the Han Dynasty"!
Specifically, it talks about how the Liu family conquered the world and how it was such a sacred, great and just thing...
Although this move has no moral integrity, the effect is amazing!
You don’t need to look at others, just look at the Jin family dynasty in later generations, and you will know how powerful it is.
