Even if Liu Che stayed in the Qingliang Hall, he couldn't hold it any longer and needed to use ice cubes to cool down.
At the same time, the phenomenon of handing in papers also began to appear in the examination room.
After all, this is just the first round of the exam, and the questions are basically not difficult.
The only difficult arithmetic problem, if you can do it, you can do it naturally, but if you can't do it, it's useless to take off your hair!
"Go and tell the internal history to send more soldiers to maintain order and not to cause trouble!" Liu Che ordered calmly: "In addition, I will also instruct you to strengthen patrols of various villages in Chang'an in the past few days. Anyone who has evil intentions will be killed without mercy!"
With the examination over, Liu Che knew that various public security problems would inevitably arise.
For example, someone does not do well in an exam, is under too much psychological pressure, and transforms into a Jiajue brother, or someone urinates and loses track of who he or she is, and starts hacking away with a weapon.
Problems like this are possible!
What Liu Che is even more worried about is those scholars living in the slums of Chang'an City.
Because these guys owe a lot of debt just to stay in Chang'an!
And it’s a loan shark!
After passing the examination, those scholars who successfully broke out of the siege will naturally be able to pay off their debts - even if they do not pay off, the loan shark businessmen will not have the guts to force an official to pay back the money, which will stir up a hornet's nest. If that
If the scholars can advance to the second or even third round of the examination, then... Liu Che believes that there will be a lot of "good Samaritans" willing to help them pay off their debts.
The crux of the problem lies in those scholars who have gained nothing and still owe a lot of debt.
These people will definitely become a big problem for Chang'an's security in the post-examination era!
Loan sharks are not vegetarians!
In order to make money, these guys dared to release the emperor's debts. If princes owed them money, they would still come to collect debts. Moreover, most princes would not be able to pay back!
As for the money these scholars owe them, what will happen if they cannot pay it back?
You can guess this with your butt!
In order to repay their debts, these scholars were probably forced to write letters to their families asking for money.
But usury is notorious for compounding interest rates, and each of these businessmen is smarter than the last.
Those scholars who owe debts want to pay off their debts?
Before you are squeezed dry, dream!
And these scholars who have no money, no future, and still owe a lot of debt and are being chased for their debts, in the end, even the most principled people will probably give up on their principles!
As early as after the news of the examination was released and a large number of scholars gathered in Chang'an, Liu Che had already become aware of the transactions between these loan shark businessmen and the poor scholars at the bottom.
And we know that there will definitely be turmoil after the exam.
But many times, even if you know about many things in advance, you may not be able to do anything about them.
Just like you were reborn in 2008 and became Ohei, there is nothing you can do to prevent the financial crisis from happening.
Because.that is what will definitely happen!
For the same reason, Liu Che couldn't stop this.
Loans and loans, a consensual transaction, were protected by law in the Han Dynasty.
But when the time comes today, today after the examination begins, Liu Che must intervene in this matter before it causes serious public security and social problems. At least, he must prevent this matter from getting out of hand.
After all, those scholars all responded to Liu Che's call for reference.
In a powerful society like China, from the emperor down to the common people, the deep-rooted tradition in their minds is that the court has always taken charge of everything.
Because of the examinations, the scholars had to borrow money, and in the end they lost their reputation and owed a lot of debt.
Maybe people in Western Europe will consider themselves unlucky.
But in this magical country like China, even if it doesn’t rain, it’s the emperor’s fault.
There will definitely be a large number of people who, out of desperation, will throw the blame to Liu Che!
Not to mention now, even in China two thousand years later, when ordinary people encounter problems - for example, they are cheated, owed wages, or bullied, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask the government for an explanation.
The situation is the same now.
Moreover, as the emperor, Liu Che claimed to be the leader of the world and the leader of the world, worshiped by all the people, even the plants and trees. Liu Che could not ignore this matter.
This is probably the inevitable logical thinking of any moderately responsible Chinese emperor: The emperor is in charge of the sky, the earth, and the rain. As long as anything involves the stability of the ruling foundation, regardless of whether it is legal or not, he must get involved!
At present, faced with such a situation, Liu Che really has no good way to solve it.
After all, repaying debts is a matter of course!
Among the people, it is very common for farmers who cannot repay the money to sell their houses, land or even their wives and children.
The influence of loan sharks spread throughout the government and the public, and some of them were ministers, nobles and even concubines who advocated and spoke for them.
For the time being, Liu Che can only strengthen the security patrols in Chang'an, especially strengthen the patrols and control of the slums. At the very least, he can first deter the arrogance of the loan sharks.
For the rest, we can only take one step at a time.
Thinking like this, Liu Che suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Dao: "Wang Dao, a few days ago, didn't you report that in this examination, there are many poor people who make a living by working for others?
?"
Wang Dao lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed the case. I remember that I gave Your Majesty a list of these scholars at that time!"
"Look for it!" Liu Che ordered.
Not long after, a eunuch found the report from the pile of memorials Liu Che had looked through.
Liu Che took it and saw that the number of scholars listed above was actually over a hundred.
Looking at their experiences again, Liu Che couldn't help but smile and nod. Putting down the memorial, Liu Che told Wang Dao: "According to my order, these self-reliant scholars will all enter the second round of the examination unconditionally. If their grades are already qualified to enter the second round,
For the second round of exams, each person will get an extra five points!"
At first, Liu Che had little impression of these scholars who lived by their own strength and refused to borrow money.
However, I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Compared with those who would rather borrow usury than "condescend", these people are undoubtedly much more lovable.
As the emperor, Liu Che naturally had to give them some rewards.
As for the reason?
It is the quality of a gentleman not to eat food that comes to you!
For the current values of the Han Dynasty, character and morality are more important political chips than academic achievements, political achievements, and even birth and lineage!
A well-known filial son does not need to take exams or go through qualifications, he can directly become a Qianshi official.
Once a local famous person is recommended, the imperial court will send a horse-drawn carriage to pick him up. If the official he is given is too young, he will wave his sleeves and say no, and there is nothing you can do!
