When they came outside, everyone saw Du He looking relaxed and not feeling depressed at all.
Qin Qiong couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Du He, your request was rejected by His Majesty, and the students from the Imperial College were transferred to Banshan College without success. Why don't you look a little bit sad?"
Du He laughed and said, "Uncle Qin, why should I be sad?"
Qin Qiong wondered: "Doesn't this mean that your request has failed? I have talked with your father. The biggest problem of Banshan College now is that there are no students. If some of the students from the Imperial College can be crossed, then Banshan College will
What a great improvement!”
Du He leaned close to Qin Qiong's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, let me tell you a negotiation technique, that is, the one who seeks the top will get the bottom, the one who seeks the bottom will get the bottom, and the one who seeks the bottom will get nothing. If I directly
If I ask His Majesty to bring all the students who have signed up for the scientific examination to Mid-Levels College, he will definitely not agree, but with the previous request in front of me, things will be easier to handle!"
Qin Qiong slapped her thigh and suddenly realized: "Du He, Du He, you are so cunning!"
Du He: "Hey, if you are not cunning, you are wasting your youth."
Qin Qiong: "..."
…
The next day.
The imperial court issued three edicts in succession.
The first edict is that in order to reflect the emperor's great grace, His Majesty has decided to select a group of officials with both ability and political integrity to serve in various places. They will train for two years. After two years, they can return to the court after passing the examination and be promoted one level at a time.
As soon as this edict came out, the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China could not sit still. They inquired, established relationships, and started planning for their heirs.
However, what surprised everyone, such as Changsun Wuji and others, were very calm and did not make any moves.
When someone asked these important ministers why they didn't plan for their own heirs, Changsun Wuji showed a smile like an old fox and said: "Oh, I'll leave the opportunity to you. I will suffer a little this time. If you don't give me those few
The incompetent child is ready!"
When the news came out, everyone gave Changsun Wuji a thumbs up and praised Sikong for his profound righteousness.
However, Fang Xuanling and others scolded Changsun Wuji behind his back for being shameless.
Because only these few people know that the tempering mentioned in the edict is actually to be sent to places where officials are in short supply to endure hardships. Now that these guys have signed up, it will be too late to regret when they are selected!
The second edict is still to reflect the emperor's great kindness, God's virtue of good life, and your majesty's love for talents, so it is decided to hold the Jinshi Examination and the Scholar Examination on October 18th. Those who pass the Jinshi Examination can
To become an official in the imperial court, those who pass the examination can be arranged by the Shangshu Province to hold official positions in various places. The conditions are more favorable than those in the previous scientific examinations, and the number of candidates is also more in the Spring and Township Examinations.
The news quickly spread throughout the world.
Everyone knows that the first edict was prepared for the ministers of the court and the nobles.
But the second edict has a completely different meaning. It concerns the people of the world. Anyone who is knowledgeable and literate has the opportunity to become a court official.
For a time, a large number of scholars from all over the country rushed to Chang'an.
The third edict is that the emperor's grace is still great. Your Majesty loves the people like his own children. In order to provide a place for foreign students from poor families to live, he specially negotiated with Hou Duhe of Huyi County and asked all those from poor families to sign up for the scientific examination.
Scholars from all over the country can go to Banshan College and get free food and accommodation.
The edict went down and was passed on in the streets and alleys.
Coupled with the spread of the news in Datang Xinbao, the entire city of Chang'an soon knew about these events. In Datang Xinbao, Ma Zhou wrote an article praising Du He as one of the rare good people in the world.
As a result, people praised Du He for his high righteousness and for being a first-class good man in the world.
…
Sikong Mansion.
Changsun Wuji looked at the latest issue of Datang News, suddenly slapped his head and said: "I was still puzzled before, why Du He spent money in vain to provide free food for those scholars who came from poor families.
Come on...now, I finally figured it out, hahaha!"
Changsun Chong asked curiously: "Dad, what exactly did you find?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Then Du He... Haha, because of the incident at Banshan Academy, his reputation has been ruined and he offended many people. Now, he wants to earn reputation through this method. The people are all
It's short-sighted. They were scolding Du He before, but now they are praising Du He."
Changsun Chong thought for a while and said: "Dad, we can't let Du He take advantage of such good things. Why is it that Du He did all the good things? Our Changsun family can do it too. When the time comes, you can do it too, dad."
Isn't it a good thing to be able to become one of the best good people in the world? Our eldest son's family is not short of money anyway, so we should use it for disaster relief."
Snapped.
Changsun Wuji slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, why didn't dad think of that? Du He can't let Du He take advantage of all this good thing. Without further ado, let's go and announce it to the world, saying that in order to take care of these people from poor families,
Scholars from poor families, the eldest son’s family vacated their house in the south of the city to provide free food and lodging for poor scholars.”
Changsun Wuji is not short of money, but he likes a good reputation.
Now seeing Du He's good reputation, he was envious.
When the news about Changsun's family came out, everyone praised Changsun Wuji as a good person.
Within a few days, seven or eight aristocratic families in Chang'an City announced that they would provide free food and accommodation to poor scholars. It turned out that everyone was envious of Du He's good reputation.
The Changsun family took a look and realized that this was not going to work. If everyone got up and did good deeds, the uniqueness of their family would not be reflected.
Therefore, without Changsun Wuji's consent, Changsun Wuji directly changed the conditions: Any scholar who comes to take part in the scientific examination one month later can go to Changsun's house for free food and accommodation, and will be fully supported by Changsun's family.
The previous condition was for scholars from poor families, but now it suddenly became all scholars who took the scientific examination. Good guy, many people rushed to Changsun's house in an instant. Soon, Changsun's family could no longer live in it.
When Changsun Wuji learned about this, he beat up Changsun Chong angrily and then announced that he would only accept scholars from poor families.
After other scholars were kicked out, they took to the streets and cursed the eldest son's family for being unreasonable.
Changsun Wuji felt as if he shot himself in the foot, and then he beat Changsun Chong again.
…
Five days passed.
Banshan College has admitted more than a hundred scholars from poor families.
These scholars are extremely satisfied with Banshan College.
The place where we live is four people in a room, clean and tidy.
We eat in the canteen, three meals a day, including vegetables and meat.
The place for review is various classrooms. The environment is quiet and the air is fresh. Compared with the environment where many people lived with only four walls, it is countless times better.
