Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 593
The suggestion of donating prisons was the idea of ​​the prince's counselor, Dou Shen.

The prince originally thought that Wu Qi would be loyal to him if he recommended Wu Qi, but he never thought that after Wu Qi became Du Zhilang, he would often turn a deaf ear to Dong Gong's request and never take care of Dong Gong on Du Zhi. And the yamen controlled by the prince.

All this made Prince Li Chu very angry, but Fifth Qi was highly valued by his father by relying on his financial management ability. As long as he can control Duzhi well, then his father will never replace him.

After understanding this point, Li Chu felt even more depressed, and what made Donggong even more depressed was that the court had no money.

Because of the silting of the water transport on the Bianhe River and An Qingxu's troubles in Henan Province, the entire water transport was affected, and the court had a hard time this year.

The imperial court had financial difficulties, and the emperor personally reduced the expenditure in the palace. I heard that Empress Zhang began to lead the maids in the imperial court to spin and weave cloth, not to mention the expenditure of the Eastern Palace.

In order to show his attitude to the court ministers, Li Chu took the lead in reducing the expenses of the East Palace, which made Li Chu, who had spent a lot of money in the seizure of the throne, even more stretched.

Just when Li Chu was at a loss, Dou Shen proposed to Li Chu the idea of ​​donating a prison.

"The imperial court sells the number of supervisors?" Li Chu frowned after hearing Dou Shen's idea at first. Is this method really possible?
However, Li Chu didn't think that the donation of prisons would destroy the country's system, but did he think that someone would really come to buy places for prison students?
But Dou Shen said: "Your Highness, although the posts of Guozijian are not worth much in your opinion, they are still very attractive among the people. As long as the court allows donations for prisons, many people will definitely come to buy them with money."

Li Chu submitted a memorial to the imperial court with doubts, requesting that the donation of the Guozijian be opened. After obtaining the approval of the imperial court, Li Chu handed over the donation of the prison to Dou Shen.

At this time, Dou Shen suggested to Li Chu again: "Your Highness, all the money donated to the prison will go to the national treasury. We have managed it for so long. If we only do things for the court, it will be too bad."

Li Chu also nodded. Ever since he suggested that the imperial court open up prison donations, Li Chu had suffered a lot of infamy. The censors at Yushitai kept writing letters to reprimand him, which made Li Chu very depressed.

I don't even think about whose salary the prison donation is for!

Hearing what Dou Shen said, Li Chu also had other thoughts, yes, I have been busy for so long, and I just collected money from the court, which is too bad.

I only heard Dou Shen say: "The imperial court stipulates that the money equivalent to 1000 deniers of food is required, and the number of donated prisons is only limited to [-] people. We can operate like this."

Dou Shen whispered in Li Chu's ear, and Li Chu's eyes lit up and said, "Is this really feasible?"

Dou Shen said confidently: "Of course it is possible!"

Li Chu took Dou Shen's hand and said, "Shizhong, then I will leave this matter to you! If you can really collect money for the court and the East Palace, then you will be a great contributor!"

Dou Shen cleaned up several empty rooms in the East Palace, then hung up a sign, and published a notice in the "Chang'an Daily", announcing the opening of prison donations by the imperial court in the newspaper.

Then Dou Shen asked people to post the news of donating prisons on all the gates of Chang'an, and the whole Chang'an city immediately became a sensation!
You must know that in the former Guozijian, only the children of officials of the fifth grade or above in the imperial court, or the children of nobles with titles, were eligible to study in the Guozijian.

There are also many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, but their children have no chance to be officials.

In Datang, being an official is definitely not all about being rich.

There are several ways to enter the officialdom, Yinbu, Guozijian and imperial examinations. These three paths are open to scholars, and it is difficult for non-official children to enter the officialdom.

The imperial examination allowed the children of the poor family to enter the officialdom, but this poor family is also a family, and it takes several generations of scholars to be called a poor family.

Ordinary people in Chang'an have no right to call themselves poor families. Even if a wealthy businessman wants to marry a poor family, the poor family will not want to marry a businessman because of their own value.

But this time, prison donations were opened, and the number of prison students could be purchased with only money, which naturally aroused Chang'an's madness.

Soon, the entrance of the East Palace was trampled by these businessmen, and before Dou Shen was ready, these businessmen had already sent people to line up in front of the East Palace overnight.

In addition to the madness of the local merchants in Chang'an, the players were also crazy when they got the news!

Compared with the imperial examination with a very low admission rate, entering the officialdom from the Imperial College is also a good choice!
As long as you pass the examination of Shangsanshe, you can get the qualification to be an official. The difficulty of this kind of passing examination is much lower than that of the imperial examination!For players, the difficulty of this kind of exam is too low!

Although the starting point for Guozijian to enter the officialdom is much lower than that of the imperial examination, and you can only start as a county magistrate in a remote area, but you are still a Shangguan anyway!

Not to mention that the supervising students of the Guozijian also have the privileges of some scholars. Even if they don't pass the Sanshe exam, they can get a quota of supervising students, which will be of great benefit to their activities in Chang'an.

A large number of players in Chang'an have started to contribute money, wanting to donate a place of supervising students for themselves.

When the players arrived at the gate of the East Palace, they saw Dou Shen posting a new notice.

The imperial court offered only [-] places to donate prisons, but the donated prisons also had to check the information, and those who were guilty and did not meet the conditions of the imperial court could not be prison students.

So the East Palace posted a notice that if the normal price was used, it would cost [-] yuan to donate a prison student, but after paying the money, you could only register your name, and you had to wait until the court reviewed it before you could be qualified as a student supervisor.

However, the number of supervised students is limited. If the final check is completed but the qualifications for supervised students have been sold out, then only [-] yuan will be refunded.

Of course, this is a normal procedure. You can spend a small amount of money to have the Yamen confirm the qualifications of supervisors as soon as possible, and then you can get the quota of supervisors faster than others. This is the safest way.

As for spending some money, it's not a lot of money. If you want to quickly confirm your qualifications, you only need to spend another five thousand dollars.

Hearing this news, many wealthy businessmen asked their buddies to go back and get the money again!

For those who can spend [-] yuan to donate to the quota of supervising students, spending another [-] yuan is not a big deal.

But if you fail to get the qualification to supervise the students because you spent less money, you will regret it to death.

For those Changan players who are bound to win, isn't it just adding money?Add money!As long as you can get a supervisory place, no matter how much money you spend, it's worth it!

Even Dou Shen who offered to donate the prison did not expect that there are so many rich people in Chang'an!

In just two days, more than 1000 people came to register and pay. Now Dou Shen is also stupid. The court only provided [-] quotas, so what about the rest?
Dou Shen hurriedly found Li Chu and reported the grand occasion of donating prison to the prince.

Li Chu was also very surprised to hear that the qualifications of a thousand supervisors had been sold so quickly. He praised again and again:

"Shizhong, you are indeed a lonely humerus. Now that the court's difficulties have been solved, the emperor will definitely value the lonely even more!"

But Dou Shen immediately said: "Your Highness, is this the end?"

Li Chu looked at Dou Shen suspiciously and asked: "Didn't the imperial court only give [-] supervisors a quota, now that the donations have been pledged, you can also turn over to the imperial court."

But Dou Shen said: "Your Highness, the people at this door all came with money, and they are all willing to hand over the money to Your Highness!"

This time Li Chu also hesitated.

You must know that these people at the door are all waiting to donate money to the prison, and although 25 is not much, ten people are 250, and [-] people are [-] million!
Even Li Chu's math is not very good, but after hearing Dou Shen's report every day, he knows how much money this is!

With such a large amount of money in front of him, just as Dou Shen said, these people are willing to stand outside with the money.

You must know that the imperial court collects taxes on weekdays. If they want to kill these wealthy households, they will kill them, and there will be no oil or water.

Now that these people are standing outside with money in their hands, this makes Li Chu hesitate again. Is it really necessary to keep these people out?
But if they want to accept their money, how will the court explain it?

I only heard Dou Shen say: "Your Highness, I have a solution."

Hearing that Dou Shen has a solution, Li Chu's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What is the solution? Come quickly!"
