Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 85 Shock, Demonstration

Gangnam East
At the gate of Dantu County, Runzhou, a notice was posted, which instantly attracted the attention of the people passing by.

"What's written on it?"

"Hasn't sir come yet?"

"I hope it's not a notice to increase taxes."

Although many people gathered before the announcement, there was not a single literate person, and they had to wait for the nearby gentleman to come.

However, there was no gentleman, but there was a scholar who was dressed a little thinly and immediately attracted all eyes. Although he was not a gentleman, he could read and write.

There was also some doubts on the boy's face, and he didn't know what announcement would be announced at this time.

In particular, someone had asked these soldiers at the city gate before. Although they were also illiterate, they still got some news.

For example, this announcement came from Chang'an, which means that it was not an announcement from the county or state, but an order from His Majesty to the whole world.

Calculating the time from Chang'an to Jiangnan, it is very likely that the decree was delivered in the few days after the New Year, which made the boy excited.

You must know that the few things that can be discussed first in the new year's court meeting must be big things that affect the world.

After getting out of the way, the boy approached the notice and began to read it.

"An edict to the people of the world, when there is chaos in the world, the world is at first peace, there are insufficient officials in various places, and the imperial examination system is reformed"

While reading the other side, the young man was also shocked. You must know that he also had the idea of ​​going to Chang'an for fame.

However, he hesitated in the end, because the journey was too far away, and there were old mothers and brothers at home who depended on him for support.

At the beginning, he learned a lot of words from a gentleman, and he took the position of accountant in a restaurant in Dantu City.

The key point is that the owner's family still has a lot of books, which are a feast for his eyes and also let him learn a lot of knowledge by himself.

Although life is difficult now, it is much better than most common people's homes.

Once I go to Chang'an, it will take a few months at least, and more than a year at most, what will happen to this family.

After the reading was over, everyone understood the content of the notice, and many people breathed a sigh of relief at first, as long as it wasn't a tax.

As for the reform of the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with ordinary people, but the eyes of the humble scholars gathered behind are bright.

You must know that apart from the long distance to Chang'an, there is also the fact that the number of people enrolled in each imperial examination is too small, only 30 people.

After several considerations, the son of the common people from a poor family shook his head even more, a penny is hard for a hero.

But now, there is an opportunity, the top [-] in each imperial examination, the whole world has [-] more places.

Although I can only be a petty official, I don't know how much higher it is compared to the accountants or companions of poor students nowadays.

The eyes of many humble scholars flickered, and they had already decided to prepare for the imperial examination. Of course, some people were concerned about the martial arts examination.

However, the martial arts examination is only for the first time. If you want to participate, you have to come to Chang'an like the previous imperial examinations.

Ordinary people have many children. Originally, they thought that illiteracy and imperial examinations had nothing to do with them, but now it seems that the words are different, and it has something to do with them.

Not only Jiangnan Dongdao, but the proclamation spread throughout the world, and everyone was shocked by it.

The last shock was the time between Lingyan Pavilion and Quyuanli, but it wasn't such a sensation at that time.

The reason is that Lingyan Pavilion basically has nothing to do with the common people, and Qu Yuanli's words are not of much interest to the children of the aristocratic family.

It can be said that you may listen to it, but you must forget it after a while, but this time is different.

Both scholars and ordinary people were shocked, and even aristocratic families were considering the changes brought about by the imperial examination.

"I'm waiting for the poor family's children to finally have their day."

"Farm children can also embark on the road to the army through martial arts."

"Your Majesty is holy, woo woo woo."

Some were excited, some were excited, and some were weeping with joy, because they saw the way forward.

They were born as if their destiny was already fixed, even if they wanted to change, but they were still powerless, and this time they rekindled hope.

Changan
In the imperial study room, Li Shimin looked at the information collected by Baiqi from various states, with a hint of joy on his face.

Although he knew that changes in the imperial examination system would definitely cause shocks, he did not expect such a big change.

A flash of determination flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, this time the imperial examination system does not allow anyone to interfere, especially he got some methods from his father-in-law.

For example, anonymous review, if the marked papers are regarded as invalid, etc., this prevents some officials from protecting each other because of family and other reasons.

But soon Li Shimin's face became gloomy again, because according to Baiqi's information, the price of rice in Chang'an rose by one penny.

Don't underestimate this article, it affects the people near Chang'an, and behind these rice merchants are aristocratic families.

"Is this showing my face?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered coldly and he said, it is obvious that this is a family member expressing his dissatisfaction with the reform of the imperial examination.

At least in Li Shimin's opinion, this is the case, but what makes Li Shimin gratified is that it seems that because of the residual power of his Xuanwu sect, these aristocratic families dare not stand out.

This made Li Shimin's expression a bit complicated. After all, Xuanwumen is one of the taboos, and it would actually help him if he didn't have it now.

"What is Yafu doing recently?"

Li Shimin could not help but look at Li Junxian and asked, with a trace of curiosity in his words.

Because his cheap father-in-law seemed to be a little quiet recently, which was beyond his expectation.

It seems that everything before has something to do with these cheap father-in-laws, but fortunately, it has a lot of benefits for him.

"Mr. Anxuan, it seems that he has been busy enrolling students in the academy recently."

Li Junxian said with a hint of weirdness on his face, if there is one place in Chang'an that needs to be investigated the least, then it is the Shu Mansion.

Because many people gathered in front of the Shu Mansion every day, once An Xuangong made any move, it spread throughout Chang'an without the need for Baiqi to investigate.

For example, this time Anxuangong's academy enrollment has caused a sensation in Chang'an, both the aristocratic family and nobles are inquiring about the academy's enrollment standards.

"Academy enrollment?"

Li Shimin's eyes froze and he murmured softly, but he remembered the last time he went to the farm in Shufu on the outskirts of Chang'an.

At that time, there were some buildings that made him feel strange. It looked like an academy, but he had important business at the time, so he didn't pay attention to it.

In addition, after getting the solution to the problem, I left in a hurry and forgot about it.
