God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 415 Negotiation Skills

The crowd dispersed.

When they came outside, everyone saw Du He's relaxed face, without any depression.

Qin Qiong couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to ask: "Du He, your request was rejected by His Majesty, and the students from the Imperial College were transferred to Banshan College, but they didn't succeed. Why don't you look sad at all?"

Du He laughed and said, "Uncle Qin, why should I be sad?"

Qin Qiong asked suspiciously: "Doesn't this mean that your request failed? I talked with your father. The biggest problem with Banshan College now is that there are no students. If you can pass some of the students from the Imperial College, it will be Banshan College. What a big step forward!"

Du He approached Qin Qiong's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, I will tell you a negotiation skill, that is, seek the best of the one above, ask for the bottom of the one below, and ask for the bottom... nothing. If I directly If you ask His Majesty to send all the students who signed up for the examination to Banshan College, he will definitely not agree, but with the previous request, things will be easy!"

Qin Qiong slapped her thigh and suddenly realized: "Du He, Du He, you are so cunning!"

Du He: "Hey, people are not cunning and waste youth."

Qin Qiong: "..."

……

The next day.

The imperial court issued three edicts in a row.

The first imperial decree, in order to reflect the great grace of the emperor, His Majesty decided to select a group of officials with both ability and political integrity to serve in various places. After two years of hard work, they can return to the court after passing the examination and be promoted to a higher level.

As soon as this imperial decree came out, the Chinese, Chinese and military ministers couldn't sit still, and they all inquired, made connections, and began to plan for their heirs.

However, those who made everyone feel strange, 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 smiled like an old fox and said, “Oh, let’s leave the opportunity to you. A worthless child is ready!"

When the news came out, everyone gave Changsun Wuji a thumbs up and praised Sikong for his understanding of righteousness.

However, Fang Xuanling and others scolded Changsun Wuji for being shameless behind his back.

Because, only these few people know that the sharpening mentioned in the imperial decree is actually sent to various places where there is a shortage of officials to endure hardships. Now that these guys have signed up, and when the time comes, they will be selected, and it is too late to regret it!

The second imperial decree is still to reflect the greatness of the emperor's grace, God has the virtue of being good at life, and now His Majesty has a heart of love for talents, so it is decided to hold a reliable examination on October [-]. There will be a Jinshi examination and a scholar examination. Entering the court to become an official, the scholar who passed the examination can be arranged by the Minister of Shangshu to take up official positions in various places.The conditions are more favorable than the previous scientific examinations, and more people are taken in the Chunwei and rural examinations.

This news quickly spread throughout the world.

The first imperial decree, as we all know, was prepared for the ministers of the court and the nobles.

But the meaning of the second imperial decree is completely different. It is related to the people of the world. Anyone with insight who can read and write has the opportunity to become an official of the court.

All of a sudden, a large number of scholars rushed to Chang'an from all over the country.

The third imperial decree is still magnanimous, His Majesty loves the people like a son, in order to let the poor students from outside have a place to live, so he specially negotiated with Hou Duhe of Huyi County, and those from poor families signed up for the scientific examination All the scholars can go to Banshan College and have free board and lodging.

The decree goes down, and it is passed on in the streets and alleys.

Coupled with the spread of the Datang Newspaper, the entire Chang'an City soon knew about these things. In the Datang Newspaper, Ma Zhou wrote an article, praising Du He as a rare kind person in the world.

Therefore, people praised Du He Gaoyi one after another, and he was a first-class good man in the world.

……

Sikong House.

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 for nothing to provide free food for those scholars who came from poor families. Live... Now, I finally figured it out, hahaha!"

Chang Sun Chong asked curiously, "Father, what did you find out?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Then Du He...haha, before because of the matter of Banshan College, his reputation has been rotten and he offended many people, but now, he wants to earn his reputation through such methods. It is short-sighted, they were still scolding Du He before, and now they are praising Du He."

Changsun Chong thought for a while and said, "Father, you can't let Du He take advantage of such a good deed. Why is it that Du He did all the good deeds? Our eldest grandson's family can also do it. When the time comes, Dad and you will also do it." Wouldn't it be a good thing to become a first-class good person in the world, anyway, our eldest grandson's family is not short of money, so let's use it for disaster relief."

Snapped.

Changsun Wuji slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, why didn't Dad think of it, such a good thing can't be taken by Du He alone, it's not too late, hurry up and tell the world, saying that in order to take care of these poor families The eldest grandson’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.

Seeing that Du He has a good reputation now, he is envious.

When the news of Changsun's family came out, everyone praised Changsun Wuji as a good man.

Within a few days, seven or eight aristocratic families in Chang'an City announced that they would provide free board and lodging for poor scholars. It turned out that everyone envied Du He's good reputation.

The eldest grandson's family saw that this was not going to work. If everyone stood up to do good deeds, they would not be able to reflect their own uniqueness.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji directly changed the conditions without Changsun Wuji's consent: all scholars who come to take the scientific examination one month after the scientific examination can go to the Changsun's house for free to eat and live, and the Changsun's family will support them all.

The previous condition was for scholars from poor families, but now they have become all scholars who took part in the scientific examination. My good guy, many people rushed to the eldest grandson's house in an instant.Soon, the eldest grandson's house could no longer live.

When Changsun Wuji learned of this, he beat up Changsun Chong angrily, and then announced that only scholars from poor families would be accepted.

After the other scholars were kicked out, they took to the streets to curse the eldest grandson's family for being unreasonable.

Changsun Wuji felt as if he was shooting himself in the foot with a rock, and then beat him up again.

……

Five days passed.

Banshan College has accepted more than 100 poor students.

These scholars are very satisfied with Banshan College.

The place where I live, four people share a room, clean and tidy.

Eating is in the cafeteria, three meals a day, with vegetables and meat.

The place to study is in various classrooms, the environment is quiet and the air is beautiful, compared to the environment of many people's homes with bare walls, it is many times better.
