The key is, isn't this an excellent recruitment opportunity for Wei Shilei?
These people have just entered the court, or have not yet entered the court. If we talk about relationships, most of them are students and teachers. Superficial relationships such as being from the same hometown and the same age are easy to win over. Wei Shilei himself won six yuan in a row, and he will be in the future.
He knows how to be a scholar, and he is young, so it is just right for him to make friends with such a person.
So a few people sorted through these people.
After comprehensive consideration of all aspects, we selected a group of people and planned to hold a party after the new year and then recruit them.
Moo Erlang and Wei Shilei were the best at this kind of work. They were used to getting along with each other, so they didn't find it too troublesome. They just slowly looked at each other one by one, while discussing with each other.
Tao Chengqi just picks out a few that he thinks are good and gives them a "good" rating, and then again, the first-class ones, gives a "fair" rating... and ignores the rest.
Tang Liansheng, on the other hand, sorted out some things that no one else noticed, and then took them out and asked Wu Buzheng to help check.
Not to mention, I actually found out some things, such as the most common thing about abandoning a useless wife, and also found out a suspected sibling who took the exam and got a Jinshi, and some bloody things.
Tang Shijin just walked over to remind me, "Are you okay? Are you okay? Brother Six, when are you going to write me that thing?"
Years ago, when all the countries came to court, His Royal Highness was extremely busy with all kinds of affairs, but he still took the time to come over. When he saw this, he said: "Since you want to do it, don't wait until after the new year, just go directly
Just go in these two days, the icing on the cake is never as good as giving timely assistance.”
Tang Shijin glanced at him: "Isn't this a matter for literati? Are you afraid of being tabooed by those in power?"
Yan Baiwei smiled and said: "Now as long as I don't taboo, no one will taboo."
He paused and held her hand casually: "Taixi has paid tribute to some interesting things, and I think they will be rewarded soon. When you enter the palace to express your gratitude, you can say something to the emperor by the way, and then we will
You don’t need to be at home when posting, you can just place it in a place like Diaoxiu Garden. During the New Year, although it is rare, it is just right.”
Tang Shijin asked him: "What is something fun?"
Yan Baiwei said: "There are many, and one of them has a clock that strikes itself to tell the time. It's quite interesting. There are only two of them, and the emperor actually gave you one."
Tang Shijin asked with a smile: "Self-ringing bell?"
Yan Baiwei raised his eyebrows.
The two of them silently exchanged looks that made each other understand.
Then Tang Shijin seamlessly returned to the previous topic: "Okay, since you are not taboo, we will give you a gift... I guess no one will go to the Diaoxiu Garden during the Chinese New Year, so I asked Luer to book it for ten days.
Then on the 29th of the year, you go to treat them to a guest, and on the 30th of the year you can spend New Year's Eve with them. Until the eighth day of the lunar month, we will bear all the expenses, and you can make friends according to the time?"
Wei Shilei nodded: "Okay."
Tao Erlang said: "If there is a clear path for the emperor, then I will post a message in the name of eldest brother, Jin'er and Lei'er, and let eldest brother, Lei'er and Liansheng go there, otherwise Lei'er and Liansheng will be too young.
I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to suppress the situation.”
Tang Shijin said: "Okay, then you can write a post first."
Although they have almost decided on the candidates, they still have to invite more people. There are hundreds of people, and just writing a post will take a while.
Tang Shijin came out directly and ordered people to go to the Diaoxiu Garden to book a place first.
Before the instructions were finished, the reward from the palace arrived, and there was indeed a magnificent self-ringing bell inside.
Tang Shijin took it in his hand, played with it a few times, and asked Yan Baiwei: "Huahua'er, what did he do?"
"It's at my place," Yan Baiwei said, "You don't want him to tear it down, do you?"
"So what if it's dismantled?" Tang Shijin said with a smile: "The internal structure of this thing is actually not complicated. If we dismantle it, we can do it ourselves. When the time comes, we will make one for everyone, so you don't have to worry about it. Isn't it Mr. Wei?"
"
She smiled and touched his face.
Yan Baiwei smiled and said: "Give it to Madam, I won't feel wronged."
Tang Shijin continued to touch around: "Did you just talk about Thailand and the West?"
"Yes," Yan Baiwei said: "People from Thailand and Luzon came here, but they were not envoys from the two countries. It was more like they came here to play and then heard about the custom of 'Celebrating the New Year' here, so they learned to come here.
Let's join in the fun... I can speak the language we have here, but it's very blunt. Although the customs are different, I still feel a little vulgar and rude, and the appearance is not much different from ours. There aren't many things I brought here, and they're not very surprising. There's only this.
The clock is pretty interesting."
Thailand, it seems to be Italy? Where does Luzon come from? The Philippines?
Tang Shijin pondered for a moment.
At this moment, there was no time to say more, so he just said: "I will go to the palace first to thank you."
She went to the palace to thank her, and then reported that she wanted to garden. Emperor Yuan Sheng agreed without hesitation.
Tang Shijin smiled again and said, "I have one more unkind request."
Emperor Yuan Sheng said: "I love you, just say it."
Tributes cannot be destroyed at will. Tang Shijin said: "The self-ringing bell given by the emperor, I think it is very interesting. It is very useful. Foreign countries can make it. We, the heavenly dynasty, can definitely make it too. I want to take it apart and find it."
A skilled craftsman will give it a try and ask the Emperor for permission."
Emperor Yuan Sheng said: "Well said! If the barbarians can do it, we can do it too! Just do it!"
Tang Shijin responded with a smile and withdrew.
So the clock passed down the family and was curious about it, so they asked someone to send it to Shangguan Tumi. The internal structure of this thing is not complicated. If there is a real thing, Shangguan Tumi can definitely make it.
Wei Shilei hurriedly downloaded the post the next day.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone is busy with the New Year, so there is no one who would like to post a treat.
But there is Tao Dalang Tao Zhifeng who represents Taoxiang Mansion, Wei Shilei, the eldest son of Prince Wei, and Tang Shijin who represents Prince Qing’s Mansion... The weight of this post, it is no exaggeration to say that everyone can invite it.
.
But they were all given to some little-known people, which made everyone think a lot.
The number of Jinshi admitted in each session of the Daqing Dynasty was generally around 200 to 400. Even if only those from the previous two sessions were invited, and only those in Beijing were invited, there would still be more than 300 people.
And when people are promoted to Jinshi, it is almost impossible to get one out of ten. You are Jieyuan in your place, but you may not even be able to get a name when you come to the capital. Every time there are thousands of people participating in the examination, but the examination is in
In February, only those who live far away will stay in the capital at this time, so there are only more than 2,000 people in Beijing at this time.
However, not everyone invited these two thousand people.
Tang Shijin had always disapproved of the big pot and even distribution. Even considering that the scholars had many things to do and that there would be dark horses, she still decided to invite selectively, so only more than 400 people were invited, and the total number was less than a thousand.
.
Even so, such unofficial large-scale literary gatherings are extremely rare.
Literary affairs have always been the most sensitive. If it weren't for Tang Shijin, others would really not dare to do such a conspicuous thing.
