Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1207
Luoyang.

Shangyuan Festival.

This year's Luoyang Shangyuan Festival was extremely lively. The wars in Anxi, Xishan, Lingnan, and Andong were small in scale, but they were frequently reported.

So the Holy Son of Heaven issued an edict that this year Luoyang City Shangyuan Festival, Jinwu couldn't help but have a three-day holiday, and hang up lanterns to celebrate.

At the same time, the Luoyang government office also officially promulgated an edict. After the Shangyuan Festival, Luoyang City will also be like Chang'an City. The walls of the squares will be demolished, and only the gates of the squares will be kept.After the original square street wall is demolished, it will be changed into shops facing the street. Luoyang Prefecture will be planned in a unified way, and each square will be planned into different markets.

In the past year, the pilot operation of Chang'an Market has quickly brought back the prosperity of Chang'an City, and the effect is excellent. It has promoted the trade of industry and commerce, and also enhanced the prosperity of the city, facilitated the lives of the people, and increased the city's tax and rent.

Those officials who had opposed the demolition of the square wall and the establishment of a market in every possible way before, all shut their mouths in the face of the facts, and no one objected.After all, no matter how much you oppose eloquence, it is powerless in the face of the facts.

And after the Lantern Festival this year, it will be Daqin's first national imperial examination for the Ministry of Rites, and scholars from many places will come here.Not only the recruits who were admitted by various departments came here, but also many scholars with some qualifications, even if they were not qualified to take the Jinshi examination of the Ministry of Rites, they still wanted to come to Luoyang City to take a look, after all, this year was the first year.

This year's first imperial examination, the admission rate is extremely low and it is very difficult to pass.Because there are too many applicants at all levels, after the imperial court relaxed the scope of registration requirements for the examination, the county-level children's examination, it is really want to take the examination with a little bit of reading and writing. Anyway, the registration fee is free, as long as you meet the requirements, Then just find someone to be a guarantor. Candidates will have board and lodging in the Gongyuan, and the paper, pens and bedding for the exam will be provided by the Gongyuan.

If you pass the Tongsheng exam, it will be a fame.

As a result, in many county exams, hundreds of people in one county signed up for the exam, and in big cities like Luoyang, Chang'an, and Guangling, even thousands of people in one county even signed up for the exam. For example, the county exam in Luoyang Prefecture broke the record with more than 5000 people. People participate, it can be said to be the best in the world.

The imperial court has no quota limit for the county student examination. As long as the grades are excellent, anyone can be admitted. However, for the county scholar examination, there is a strict quota limit. Thirty to one.There are more than [-] counties in the country, and more than [-] scholars can be recorded at a time.

This means that a county can refer to a maximum of 6000 children, and a maximum of 6000 students will be admitted in the end.

If there are more than 6000 students registered in a county, a qualifying exam will be added, and some of them will be eliminated in the first exam.

What is the acceptance rate for a scholar who passed the exam and went to Daocheng to take the exam?
There are more than [-] Taoists in the Great Qin Dynasty, each of which has a quota of about [-] students, and the admission rate is [-] to [-]. Therefore, a maximum of [-] scholars are allowed to participate in the Dao Juren Examination, and a maximum of [-] people can be admitted in the last course.

There are more than 2000 Taoists across the country, and finally more than [-] candidates were admitted to Luoyang to participate in the Jinshi Examination of the Ministry of Rites. The admission rate of Jinshi was ten to one, and about [-] people were admitted.

Therefore, among the examinations for scholar, scholar, and Jinshi, the admission rate of scholar is the lowest, so people at the time called it Jinshi of Jinshi, Silver Juren, and Bronze Jinshi. .

More than 2000 Juren from all over the country entered Beijing for the exam, and many more followed the exam to accompany the exam, and many who did not pass the exam also came to see the excitement of the Jinshi exam.

Because of an imperial examination, nearly [-] people flocked to Luoyang City.

Not to mention, there are countless more Hu merchants in Luoyang this year.In particular, there are more Hu people from the Western Regions, and they brought more gifts this year.

Not long after the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting, the envoys of the various tribes had not yet left, but a larger envoy arrived, which had just left a year ago and came all the way. They brought more tribute gifts, and many envoys of the He also sent his own princess directly.

The Battle of Kucha at the end of last year had a great impact on the entire Western Region.

Shunishi with more than 10 people was completely wiped out, and the big country of Kucha with [-] people was sold into slavery. How many kings and chiefs couldn't sleep.

Especially after Cheng Yaojin sent skull wine vessels to the countries before he left, they couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.What to do, I can only hug Daqin's legs tightly.

To build a station, build a beacon castle, and build a military city, it means asking people for money and giving money, and the imperial court sends more patrols, and they pay to share the military expenses without saying a word.

But I'm still afraid.

Especially seeing the Daqin Iron Cavalry, who were rapidly deploying defenses, back and forth in front of their house, they couldn't sleep even more.

Helpless, he had no choice but to give more gifts to Anxi's third envoy Ya, and another generous gift to the Emperor of Qin in Luoyang, and even sent all the princesses. emaciated.

But after all, he rushed to Luoyang, even if he missed the New Year's Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting, he couldn't care less.

Send a letter of congratulations.

A long list of tribute gifts was sent.

Among these envoys, there was a frowning envoy. He was an envoy from the Xueyantuo Khanate in Mobei. The sheep were sent to Lingwu.

But the weather was too cold, there was no food along the way, and the time was short, so the cattle and sheep were forced to go south.On the way, there happened to be a snowstorm, which was unlucky.

As a result, the livestock died all the way, and countless people died of freezing and starvation.

When the Lingwu was handed over, there were only more than 5000 horses left, more than 3000 cattle, and less than [-] sheep.

Originally, before Ni Yu asked him to set off, he specially prepared an extra thousand horses, two thousand cows and ten thousand sheep, but Ni Yu gritted his teeth and gave them.

I'm just worried that there will be a little loss on the way, and I won't be able to count it when the time comes.

But who knows, adding so much, the result is not worth more deaths on the road.

When we arrived at Lingwu, sure enough, they refused to accept it.

Although he explained in every possible way that after passing the desert, the cattle, horses and sheep began to freeze and starve to death, and he also handed over the cattle, sheep and horses that had just died of freezing and starvation to the local Qin Dynasty officials, such as Wuchuan County and Wuyuan County. etc.

It's a pity that Lingwu's emperor's envoys refused to accept his rhetoric and refused to accept these tributes.

Nigu's messenger had no choice but to rush all the way to Luoyang.

But now the imperial court is refusing to accept it directly on the grounds that Xue Yantuo was rude.

The envoy was about to cry, and now the job was in his hands. When he set off from Mobei, he brought 5 horses, 11 cows, and [-] sheep, but now only half of them are left. People don't want it.

The errands could not be completed, and Pingli could not be handed over to the Qin people. Now the emperor of Daqin is said to be very unhappy, saying that Niyu disrespected Daqin, and that Yinan Dahan is also very angry now.

It is said that Yinan is planning to re-select a new uncle to pass on the position of Great Khan, and to choose someone who respects Great Qin to inherit the position of Great Khan.

The officials of Honglu Temple asked him to go back to Mobei to convey the words of Emperor Daqin and Yinan Dahan, but how dare the envoy go back like this.Going back like this, the mud Khan would have to swallow him alive.

In order to make up for those cattle, horses and sheep, Nigu has already forced all the ministries to complain. If things are not done now, and they can't sweat profusely, how can Nigu be reconciled?
