After thinking about it, Liu De said: "Leave it to me to solve the venue problem!"
He knew that neither Ji An nor Ju Meng would be able to find a place in Chang'an City that could accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. This problem could only be solved by him, the prince.
For him, it wasn't too difficult. It was just a matter of shamelessly asking someone to lend him a school ground with the Confederate Army or the Northern Army.
Liu De looked at Zhang Tang and asked: "Zhang Qing, has there been any progress on the paper I asked you to supervise?"
If paper can make a breakthrough in the past few days, then Liu De will delay the examination time. After all, using paper as test papers is much better than using bamboo slips, and it can also save a lot of costs.
"Reporting to Your Highness, we have been able to make some qualified paper. However, because the craftsmen are not skilled enough, the waste rate is still relatively high. If Your Highness can provide more craftsmen, I can guarantee that the first batch will be made within five days.
It’s a useful piece of paper!” Zhang Tang replied.
"Good!" Liu De nodded happily and said: "We can't recruit craftsmen for the time being. I will give you a hundred gold, and you can go to Liushi to recruit craftsmen!"
Craftsmen in Liushi are still very cheap. A qualified bamboo strips craftsman can be recruited with a salary of 100 yuan a month.
"No!" Zhang Tang nodded.
Liu De asked again: "If there are enough craftsmen, can you make 100,000 pieces of qualified white paper in six or seven days?"
"It should be possible!" Zhang Tang thought for a while and replied. Although it is a bit difficult, the worst thing is to recruit more craftsmen, expand the site, and strictly supervise! In doing this, the Legalists dare to be second, and no one dares to take the first place.
!
"Good!" Liu De clapped his hands and praised: "In this way, you will use white paper to answer questions in the exam!"
Ju Meng and Ji An were both confused and confused as to what Liu De and Zhang Tang were talking about.
Fortunately, as a ranger from a lower-class background, he had heard of paper and had seen the linen paper used to paper windows in ordinary people's homes. It was just the kind of paper made of silk and linen with a rough surface that could be used as clothes.
Can you really write on it? Ju Meng expressed serious doubts!
Ji An didn't know there was such a thing as "paper" at all, but because of the occasion, he couldn't ask out loud. He just thought to himself: "I'll ask Zhang Tang later, what is this paper?"
"
Now that the paper problem is solved, the remaining things will be easier to handle.
Liu De said to Ju Meng: "Your Majesty, I will leave it to you to maintain the order and safety of the examinations. When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to order the deployment of a forbidden army. You will hold my order and exercise restraint."
Coordinate the imperial army and take good care of public security and order together!"
"No!" Ju Meng came out and bowed in response. This was his specialty. When he was in Suiyang, he could assemble hundreds or even thousands of rangers with just one order, and he could restrain the unruly ones.
Rangers who don’t understand the rules will naturally do this kind of thing!
Then, Liu De, Ji An, Ju Meng, and Zhang Tang began to discuss the rules and regulations of the examination, the time for answering questions, and the distribution and order of marking work.
Discuss all the details one by one, and record them on the bamboo slips every time they pass an item.
The three principals and ministers had been discussing from the morning until nearly dusk in the afternoon, and finally completed the general process, procedures and systems of the examination. The bamboo slips recording various provisions and countermeasures alone weighed more than thirty kilograms.
.
After sending Zhang and Tang away, Liu De called Wang Dao and moved these bamboo slips back to his dormitory. He wanted to read all the articles carefully tonight to prevent any omissions, and he also had to transfer these bamboo slips.
The cumbersome articles and regulations are sorted out so that they can be integrated into the prototype of a system to facilitate the holding of larger-scale examinations in the future.
Liu De worked until midnight to finish these trivial matters.
"It's not easy to be a ruler!" Liu De yawned and moved his arm, which was almost sore and swollen: "It is said that Qin Shihuang had to review more than a hundred stone memorials every day, from morning to night.
…I don’t want to live like that…”
Now he has no choice but to do this kind of thing himself. When conditions improve in the future and he has enough staff and think tanks, Liu De will definitely not work so hard anymore.
Liu De is not that stupid. He will be like Qin Shihuang. For him, it is enough for the emperor to seize personnel power, financial power and the barrel of a gun. As long as he grasps the policies well, the implementation of the rest of the policies and the progress of the project can be completed.
Give responsibility to more capable ministers.
Those who do well will be promoted and those who fail will be held accountable.
Liu De carefully read the articles and details that he had sorted out.
"There are still many immature places..." Liu De sighed, but there was no way. The examination is a brand new thing for this era. Even if he is a time traveler, he has participated in the civil service examination several times. Liu De
There is no way to make it perfect all at once.
"I hope one or two real talents will appear..." Liu De thought as he rubbed his sore temples.
The cheap daddy gave him fifteen quotas for officials with a hundred stones, but Liu De would definitely not spend all fifteen quotas on this examination.
Ji An must take up a quota, and he must find a way to promote Ji An, Zhang Tang, and Ju Meng in the near future. Otherwise, if the people selected by the examination join in, as elders, their official status will not be the same.
Just like newcomers, even in the company of later generations, there will definitely be contradictions and conflicts. Moreover, how can a master who cannot promote his ministers be convinced and loyal?
Among the other fourteen spots, Liu De felt that he had to leave at least four spots as mobility indicators.
Otherwise, if he suddenly meets a talent that he thinks is good but cannot provide him with a position, wouldn't he be laughed at?
In other words, there are actually no more than ten places available for this examination.
But the number of people who come to take the exam may be thousands, or even tens of thousands...
Even if it is calculated based on the lowest number of 1,000 people, it is still one in a hundred!
"It's troublesome..." Liu De suddenly thought of a problem that gave him a headache.
This world does not suffer from scarcity but from inequality. Previously, the long drifters had no way to enter the world, so it didn't matter.
However, after taking the examination, it is equivalent to opening up a window. They have the hope of becoming officials, but the number of places is so small, and Liu De really plans to admit only three places from poor families at most, and the remaining
Seven people must be nobles!
In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will feel resentful after losing the election...
This world is full of weird things...
Liu De remembered very clearly that he saw a strange thing in the history books of later generations. A scholar in the Song Dynasty felt resentful after repeatedly failing in the exams, and actually turned his heart to Xixia.
What if there is a bastard who hates Liu De extremely after losing the election, and then desperately helps Liu De's enemies to deal with Liu De, and then the bastard's intelligence and ability are pretty good... Then Liu De is just shooting a rock.
Killed his own feet?
"We have to find a way to minimize the dissatisfaction of those who lose the election..." Liu De was lying on the collapse and thinking: "The best way is to be as fair, open and just as possible on the surface..."
But this is undoubtedly difficult, because the examination conducted by Liu De must be mostly done in secret...
"That's all, let's get two more places..." Allocate two more places to the children of poor families. In this way, the admission ratio between nobles and poor families reaches seven to four, which is barely convincing!
If there are still people who want to chirp like this, then Liu De has no choice but to let that chirping guy be humanely destroyed...
After thinking about it, Liu De fell into sleep.

00 My status was too bad yesterday, so I only updated one chapter. But today I plan to write more, maybe 3 updates, and then leave at least 2 chapters in the archives. Well, you know, I will definitely spend some time with my wife during the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
Shopping, eating and drinking, and then trying to flatter my mother-in-law and so on.
Next week, the update will be like this.
Guaranteed 2 updates every day ~ and every 500 more votes, one chapter will be added!
Well, this week’s recommended votes are 5,000, so it’s actually 3 updates with a guaranteed minimum of 00 a day.
Don’t worry, everyone, the editor comrade said that my book will be released on 10.1, so there are still 23 days of free chapters to read...
At least the public chapter will reach 350,000+ before it is put on the shelves.
This is considered sincere in Qidian’s history category~
