Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 307 Banquet
Shen Sanwen has been looking forward to the appearance of someone capable of education to solve this matter. He can be in charge in Luoyang, but he still needs someone to be responsible for the specific implementation.

The princess began to be busy with entertainment, banquets, visits, poetry parties, and tea parties.

Shen San asked if he was hesitant to go together.

Go ahead, you have to perform well. You have always performed too well. If you mess up and perform poorly that time, you will be easily criticized and gain a false reputation.

Good performance will also be taken for granted, after all, he is not the protagonist of the banquet, to be able to attend as a member must have the ability.

If he went, the princess might have to take care of him and get in the way of his work.Don't go, it seems that he doesn't care about the princess, he just wants to be a dreamer, and pushes out the difficult things.

It's not that he thinks too much, but that the more occasions the two of them attend, all kinds of discussions will spread, and a small gesture or sentence will be interpreted in various ways, which is also very annoying.

In the end, the two must discuss it.

The princess is very supportive, this is only the first step, what great things can be achieved by looking forward and backward, it is better to experience together from the beginning, and encounter all the problems that can be encountered, so as not to be in a hurry in the future.

Will you really go through all the problems?

Bah bah bah, the status will be different in the future, so there will be so many problems.Encountering problems is simply because of insufficient status, insufficient influence, problematic vision, or someone forcibly opposed it.

Are these all things when you become an emperor?
But experience equals richer experience, so it must be useful, Shen Sanwen still decided to advance and retreat with the princess.

Shen Sanwen at ordinary banquets can naturally be very casual, because his appearance is to give face to the person hosting the banquet, and others will definitely be very happy to see him.

But now it is a banquet organized by the family, the purpose of the special banquet is clear, and the obstacles to reform are clear, Shen Sanwen, as the protagonist, naturally cannot be sloppy.

So Shen San asked very busy these days.

First of all, there is the problem of entertaining those people. Literati and military generals can’t drink together, there are many taboos among poor families, and there are various cooperation and competition relationships between departments. Shen Sanwen feels that a sophisticated banquet is not much easier than improving papermaking .

After all, he spent the first half of his life as a dandy, he was good at traveling, and it was not bad to give advice when encountering trivial matters. If he really designed deep-seated disputes, unless he happened to read it in history books, he would not be able to deal with it sincerely.

There is a long way to go to learn.

Sometimes he would think, don't want to work hard, anyway, he has found Bai Fumei.If they knew his true thoughts, how many people would be able to vomit a liter of blood in anger.

But seeing the child's adoring and proud eyes, and the princess's confidence in him, he can only move forward all the way, and can't let his self-motivated personality collapse.

Although lazy, but the heart of the world.

In fact, there is still a sense of crisis. Looking at the situation in Luoyang, if you stop, you will lose everything.Whether it is losing the princess, or the princess losing everything, he cannot accept it.

The two of them made up their minds again, it would be very troublesome to go around, so it is better to use hierarchical invitations.

They only sent out ten invitations, and each of these ten people sent ten more invitations, inviting their friends and people who could be beneficial to the education reform.If it radiates in this way, one person can persuade ten people, and it seems that it will be smooth.

But even finding ten influential, supportive and beneficial people is not easy.

Shen Sanwen sent several copies of his own to the people in the house who were willing to support the reform and the young dudes outside, and the princess sent the invitations to the clan and confidantes.

Li's clan, a very awkward group, honorable but without respect, there is a tendency to raise their heads, but they are always overwhelmed.

The Wu family didn't let them rise, but they never treated them badly. They couldn't resist the ruler, and they didn't like to obey them.

The princess sent them invitations to give them a chance.

Grasp the opportunity that is useful to the emperor, or do things that are beneficial to the world. If you have both reputation and practical effect, you will not lose money.

This kind of win over method can be said to be unskillful, and anyone who can appreciate it can be a pragmatic hero.

These relatives of the Li family will always support the Li family as the emperor. They don't have to do anything to enjoy a title, so naturally they don't want to see any troubles in the world.

At most, some old antiques do not support women as emperors, they have this intention in private, and they dare not oppose it openly, they just can't avoid it.

If they have enough vision, they may be able to recommend a few talents to come.

Shen Sanwen's original plan was that there were not many people who would support him, so if the invitation was sent out, there would not be too many people.

But the result was beyond his expectation.

When the final statistical results were reported, he and the princess could only be dumbfounded.

Everyone in the Li family has a copy.

Everyone in the Wu family has a copy.

The five elements and seven wang direct descendants have a copy.

The court officials have a copy.

and many more.

This also has a hammer meaning.

Aren't these the same people who are against it?Come to have a meal?

Banqueting so many people at once is also a huge political risk.

So is the banquet still going on?

If it is not held, the invitation will be sent out incorrectly, and all kinds of gossip will spread, and people will criticize whether they are poor or afraid, or have opinions on so-and-so.Suddenly canceling, it seems that I can't afford to lose this person.

Hold it, it really doesn't make sense.Knowing that you object, why did you ask you to come?Create a harmonious atmosphere, the world is one, the illusion of everyone's support?These people will change their words if they recite their heads, and they may even make fun of the princess for hosting a funny formalist banquet.

Therefore, the first banquet can only be postponed indefinitely.

You can't be taken advantage of, but you can't do it either.

Shen San asked first to check the list carefully, everyone seemed to be okay with posting, all the people invited were close friends, and many of them also had great wisdom.

Only a few people sent invitations to the dignitaries. They didn't know whether they were threatened or what. It seemed that attending this banquet had become a trend in Luoyang. If you didn't participate, you would be a bad official.

It is estimated that in the near future, everyone in Luoyang will have a copy of this invitation.He didn't limit the identities of the participants, there would always be someone who would bring their family members to meet the world, right?

Shen Sanwen really wanted to ask if they bought invitations with money, this is a way of making money.Although it was a bit ugly compared to his status, he wanted to take money from all Luoyang people rather than invite them to dinner.

Or they pay for it themselves, and they think they have earned the best.

Of course, I can only think about it, and now I have to do business.

Shen Sanwen quickly cut through the mess and came up with a new trick. Please state the necessity of attending the meeting, what qualifications do you have to participate in the banquet held for education reform, what can you do after attending the meeting, and what is the significance after the meeting.

Since everyone wants to join in the fun, they don't consider whether they can get along well, or whether they will fight in court, and go directly to the talent selection process.

I don't know if people from Da Zhou can understand the meaning behind him and get involved.He really couldn't find his own meaning, so he made a few nonsense words that he approved, and he also invited this meal.

This is indeed a way to dissuade them from quitting, especially when Shen Sanwen posted an announcement stating that those who are determined to participate will reply with an explanatory letter within seven days, write down what they want to say within fifteen days, and then have an interview on thirty days .

During the entire selection activity, the entire Dazhou people were taken aback.

When do you have to go through the process for a meal?

I have to wait [-] days for a meal, and I may not be free at that time. My uncle's kitten is about to give birth, and I have to give gifts at that time, so I won't reply.

There are still seven days, and I will reply to the letter on the seventh day, and then I got drunk and made a mistake that day, or I don’t remember it at all, cool and cool.

Write a letter of support?Forget it, shameless, this black and white will not be bad in the future.

The interview is not good at Mandarin, and the message is very heavy, maybe the son-in-law can't understand it, so forget it?
At that time, it was embarrassing that I couldn't answer the questions, so I didn't go.

There were about [-] invitations before, but now there are only [-] responses left.

Courage is a quality that most people do not possess, especially those who have gone through vicissitudes or have certain experience.

It's not that they are timid, but that they no longer have confidence after repeated setbacks.When encountering opportunities, what I think about is not that I can do it, that I can succeed, but how can so many people be me?I passed the first level and couldn't pass the second level.

Although helpless, this screening still has to be done.

Opportunities are not only reserved for those who are prepared, but also for those who are brave enough to try.

Even many times, when you are ready, the opportunity slips away, and you are not the center of the world, why should he wait for you where you are?
Fifteen days later, Shen Sanwen began to mark the papers.

This is an answer sheet related to the future. Smart and serious people will naturally write down everything they have learned and describe it clearly.

The first level of screening is not to read the words under [-] words.

If possible, Shen Sanwen didn't want to read a long discourse.But a dry sentence is prone to ambiguity, and the writer may not have thought it through himself, making it even more difficult to execute.

The society is ever-changing, and a reform is even more so.Why can your importance, your countermeasures, and your ideas be recognized by others?

It can only be because he is detailed, practical and considerate.

What can be written in three hundred words?Less than three hundred words, how can you knock on the door of the princess' mansion and official career, because you are good-looking?
Of course, the world always has more tolerance and better evaluation of good-looking people, but it does not mean that good-looking people are more reliable.

This is business.

But there was no shortage of good-looking dogs in that era, Shen Sanwen felt that it would be good to choose a good-looking person as an educational mascot.

All in all, among the [-] questionnaires, there are only more than [-] of which have something to say and can be connected with reality, or talk about ideals to a certain level and are convincing.

It is still the result of selecting ten copies of the treasures of the sea from the text of less than [-] words.

There is a long way to go.

From distinguishing the power of the imperial court to holding a banquet, in order to hold a banquet well, first carefully analyzed the people invited, and then triggered a bloody selection that shook the world and wept ghosts and gods.

In the end, only 400 people stand out from the [-] words, and they will finally be eligible to enter the mansion to answer the questions. The road to the banquet of education reform is terrifying.

In short, in the end, four hundred innocent people really entered the mansion one after another.

Of the four hundred people, 320 are very young, in line with the [-]-[-] rule.

So Shen Sanwen mainly set his sights on the remaining eighty young people.

Young people who are energetic, vigorous and motivated, have not been hit by various experiences, and those who are dedicated to making progress are the hope of education reform.

It's not that the old people can't do it, but Shen Sanwen thinks that they can't accept his ideas. Even if they accept it reluctantly, it's for some other purpose.

This is not in line with Shen Sanwen's theory of driving interest and ambition.

Dreams can provide incredible motivation for people.

Money can only provide the most basic motivation.

Although most of the time, if there is no basic motivation, there will be no more powerful and powerful motivation.

Those who are young, wealthy, and well-born are the ones that Shen Sanwen has determined and screened out for use this time.

80 people and only 16 people left.

Most of the answering time was just a formality, so as not to embarrass them, and not to waste too much time on Shen San's questioning, first there was a 3-minute free play time.

If he really had the idea of ​​education reform and had a plan for this matter, Shen Sanwen would not mind breaking his old thinking and providing them with a first-line opportunity to show their strengths.

However, under the productivity conditions of Dazhou, there are not many dreamers like this.Even if there is, Shen Sanwen may not be able to meet him.

In the end, none of these people could surprise Shen Sanwen.

There are a few who can take the initiative to ask Ying to directly explain their intentions. They understand Shen Sanwen's meaning, but it is a pity that they are not the person he is looking for and have no chance.

The question and answer finally became a formality, and finally sixteen people remained.They have all kinds of naive ideas about education reform, but they really don't have the slightest resistance in their hearts.

This has nothing to do with their interests.

Reform or not, it is impossible to affect their current life.As for the future life, it will not affect their generation, nor their foreseeable descendants.

They may even benefit from this and become the winners of this reform.

From the moment Shen Sanwen announced that they would stay, they would no longer have the opportunity to oppose the reform.

However, these 16 people still scored a master-slave.

If a group of people have the right to make decisions in a meeting, then there is no need to deal with it.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand readers, and there are so many answers to the question of whether or not you should take a detour to avoid stepping on ants. The possibility of the sixteen young people with similar backgrounds and unconstrained dreams reaching an agreement is almost zero.

The optimal configuration is naturally an odd number of decision-makers, either three or five.

Shen Sanwen asked them to stay and directly announced the result to them.

"If you are willing to serve the education reform, everyone outside who is willing to stay will become your helper. But there will also be a master-slave relationship between you. Whoever can make the best suggestion will be the remaining person here. The boss of the next thirteen people.

Each person has only one chance to speak, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Each person has three hourglasses.The rules have been made clear, so let's start now. "
