Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 227 The First Essay Contest of the Great Week

Since no one has any experience in this matter, and can't say whether it is good or bad, although Shen Sanwen's scripture is brief, Emperor Wu thought it over, and there was basically nothing wrong with it, so he let it go.

Shen Sanwen is very excited to take the first step in his dream, and from now on he will control the fate of thousands of people who are on the street!The most important thing is that he can put his works in the best recommendation position, where everyone who enters the Ministry of Culture can see them. Those who like to read are warmly welcomed, and those who don't like to read will be poisoned to death.

The Ministry of Culture was also formally established after the wall was erected.

Shen Sanwen ordered people to pass the printed Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the most powerful dignitaries in the court, each of whom gave a copy, and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the four districts of the Ministry of Culture, and also drew a banner on the top of each bookshelf, writing There are five characters in the biography of heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Wu Yanxiu got a headache when he saw it, and he remembered a story his father told. When he was a child, his family was very poor, and only a lock was worth a lot of money. Every time it rained, he would hold the lock and cry loudly, please don't get rusty.

And Shen Sanwen said that what you write can also be like this.

Wu Yanxiu was at a loss for words. After reading the story carefully, what else could he say besides turning decay into magic? He learned melody, poetry and songs, not vernacular, and he couldn't think of 28 constellations. They all have a fearless spirit, thinking about their own death and leaving the chance of life to others.

Enough!

After everything was arranged, Shen Sanwen went to Lingyun Pavilion to publicize it in a place with the most literati, and it would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Shen Sanwen didn't intend to donate books, nor did he intend to boast about himself, but just took out ten copies of the first half of the manuscript and placed them at the gate of Lingyun Pavilion.

This was released by the son-in-law, who dares to say anything?And he didn't do anything outrageous.

Looking at the word "borrowing" on the book cover, some scholars stepped forward and opened the first page.

"Okay, that's great writing!"

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

After a while, Shen Sanwen was surrounded by people, all asking him who is this "genius scholar" who wrote the book?This book really deserves the name!Some people even say that this person is so transparent that he has to learn from a teacher.

Shen San asked with a smile, hiding his merit and fame so deeply that he would not say that this was his pen name.

(Don't search, I won't use this pseudonym)
This is also one of the reasons why Wu Yanxiu is quite speechless, modesty makes people progress, brother.

Of course, there is only one focus for everyone around him, your book is not finished yet, where can you read the rest!This is like half-talking, it's annoying!

Shen Sanwen loudly announced a gossip, "The imperial court established the Ministry of Culture, popularized literacy, and established the first vernacular essay competition.

I don’t care about anyone, I don’t want rhymes, I don’t want gorgeous writing, I just want the story to be wonderful, the characters are vivid and full of emotions, and the theme is positive. Everyone can participate. As long as the text is 1314 words plus the outline of the work, you can submit a letter to the Ministry of Culture. The address is, No. [-], Chongwen Road, you can also deliver in person.This competition has set up extraordinary honors and generous bonuses. Every contributor is welcome. "

However, the excited scene he imagined did not appear, and everyone looked at him in bewilderment.

Shen Sanwen didn't say much, "Go to the Ministry of Education and read the rest."

Anyway, there is an explanation on the bulletin board in front of the Ministry of Education.

Emperor Wu did not agree to place the Ministry of Culture in a parallel position with the Sixth Ministry, which is more than 01:30 less convincing.

The scholars headed to No. 1314 Chongwen Road with doubts. The owner of Lingyun Pavilion wanted to cry, but all the people left this morning. What about today's harvest? This is unfair competition!After crying, the boss also joined the team of scholars to see what the son-in-law is going to do.

It is inconvenient for many people to carry proof of household registration when entering the Ministry of Education, but it is the first time Shen San asked to make the decision today, so it will be avoided.

After entering the door, many people got the books they wanted to read and read them with relish.The boss of Lingyun Pavilion found the inspiration for the essay call.

what!
No.1 rewards a mansion in the imperial capital!
No.2 rewards a thousand taels of gold!That is the total income of an ordinary family's hard work for a lifetime!How luxurious is the No.1 mansion!

No.3 to No.5 also have a lot of brocades, but they are just rewards in kind, which are much less attractive to these people.

The fifth to No.10 are directly exempted from tax for one year, which is awesome!
The boss hurriedly found the staff, "My son-in-law also hopes that this call for essays will be widely advertised, can someone copy a copy of the inspiration for the call for essays and paste it in Lingyun Pavilion of someone."

I wish for it.

The clerk hurriedly took out the portable version of the essay inspiration that Shen Sanwen ordered to prepare, "Take it and post it, maybe the people who saw the essay from you will be very grateful to you."

A life-changing start.

The boss returned to Lingyun Pavilion happily, and there was an inspiration for the essay solicitation and a model essay display. He is so proud that this is the starting point of the essay solicitation.

As soon as the call for essays came out, all the people present couldn't sit still. There is an old saying that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. This time it is true.

It was getting dark, and the Ministry of Culture had finished receiving the first batch of readers.

Shen Sanwen looked at the crowd coming and going and sighed, "I'm actually really angry, it's really a kind of sweet sadness."

The deputy minister slandered for a while, then walked away silently.

With such a heavy reward for soliciting essays, can others not read the biography of heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties as a model essay?

The solicitation said, do you want to dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty and rejuvenate the country with Taizong?Do you want to go back to the past to investigate the case with Di Lao and return the common people to justice?What kind of demeanor is Da Zhou in your eyes...

It can be written about reality or fiction.The call for essays is limited to the Sui, Tang, and Zhou Dynasties, but those who are interested in writing can write about the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties.

After returning home, these young people pondered for a while, and there was a model essay, but it had nothing to do with the essay solicitation, so it was really hard to write.Huge bonuses and extraordinary honors seem to have nothing to do with me, I can't write them, I can only be a bystander.

There are also a few who imitated the heroic biography of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, racked their brains and wrote thousands of words, and then fell into a daze.

Reading is fun for a while, writing a book is a crematorium!
However, there are also a few who are good at storytelling and are engaged in related occupations. They wrote a decent [-] characters and submitted.

What is the outline mentioned in the essay, I don't know!
Fortunately, after being trained by Shen Sanwen, the staff knew what it was.

"The outline is your plan for a book, how many words you plan to write, what parts you want to write, how many words to write in that part, and the direction of the story. You can't just write without a clear theme and a clear direction. The outline is like this. This function is to remind you not to go astray, and not to overthrow your own settings with a sudden inspiration.”

So, the lucky person who wrote [-] words went back with the manuscript, thinking hard about the case, why I wrote this book, and how many words to write.
