After the Double Ninth Festival, the capital is still lively. This year's provincial examinations for the thirteen provinces in the two capitals have been successfully concluded. Many officials from the capital have taken foreign missions to work as examiners in local places, and they have found many good talents.

Many of these expatriate examiners were from the Hanlin Academy, and Brother Wen also immediately obtained a list of good seedlings, thinking about how many of them could be used to cause harm in the coming year.

For example, Jieyuan from Nanzhili this year is an old acquaintance, Tang Yin and Tang Bohu!

Now that a new round of examinations will begin next spring, it’s time for this year’s Shujis to start thinking about their future.

Brother Wen has already been awarded an official, so naturally he doesn't need to think too much. Wang Jiusi and the others have to take advantage of the period before and after the New Year to start to find the right direction and run. It's not that giving gifts has anything to do with it (of course gifts have to be given), it's just that

Firstly, you need to know the basics in advance so that they don’t all get bumped into one another. Secondly, you need to explore whether there are any gaps in your ideal government office and whether you are willing to accept it. There will be no happiness if you force yourself!

Wang Jiusi and the others would get together from time to time to discuss how to choose the ideal position.

For them, this is a major event that can determine their future career.

Although Brother Wen doesn't have to worry about the future, he doesn't have time to go anywhere. It's the New Year, and it's time for him to start arranging things in the northwest. Taking advantage of the period before and after the year before and after, the world's scholars gather in the capital, and he wants to do something

Propaganda of the Silk Road.

This wave of propaganda should be aimed at the court, merchants, and scholars who go to Beijing to take the exam. If they fail the exam next spring, they can just go to the northwest for a year or two to settle down. Maybe after some hard work, they can be reborn!

This wave of publicity is a bit difficult. After all, the northwest is really hard. It is really difficult for these scholars who can’t lift their shoulders or lift their hands to adapt. But it’s not bad to try. Even if you can only persuade one out of a hundred people, it is still a step forward.

The first step to success.

Qiu Jun knew Brother Wen's preparations, shook his head and said, "Can't you just ask all the people on this year's deputy list to come over?"

There will be a deputy list every year in the general examination. People who are on this list can be awarded official positions even though they are not Jinshi. They are mainly academic officials from local official schools. If those on the list reach a certain age, they are not even allowed to resign. They must

I want you to take up your post.

This is probably a consolation prize given by the imperial court to candidates who failed to pass the exam after many rounds of exams: Although you did not pass the exam, you have received a salary at least, so don’t waste time taking exams and go back to work hard to support your family!

Sang Yue entered this list and entered the wrong age before going to work as a local academic officer for several years.

Brother Wen also knew about this deputy list. These people would have been arranged to fill vacancies in various places. There was an even greater shortage of people in the Hexi Corridor. It was completely reasonable to ask them to come over. He thought about it, shook his head and said, "Even if you want them

, they have to be willing.”

Otherwise, if the person is gone but the heart is not, wouldn’t that not only drag down the other person, but also drag down the people in the northwest?

Qiu Jun also shook his head and said: "How can there be so many willing people in the world?"

No matter how many times you have read "Man is born with good nature", you have to admit that human nature is not all good. For example, if you are a teacher and want to teach your students well, will the students follow you obediently?

Once people can live a more comfortable life, they will not want to suffer. How many people like Brother Wen are there in the world who find it fun wherever they go?

Whether it is laws or etiquette, they are all used to induce people to do good. If everything was based on "willingness", I am afraid that things would have gone into chaos long ago!

Brother Wen said: "It all depends on people! Give it a try and you won't suffer a loss!"

Qiu Jun said: "As long as you have an idea."

Brother Wen asked him for advice on opera issues. Although Lao Qiu's "Five Ethics Complete Notes"

It is difficult to write in a single word, but the fact that he was able to create such a complete play clearly shows that he has quite a lot of research in this area. Brother Wen wanted to learn more about it first, and then went back to Zhang Ling, Wang Jiusi and other opera lovers for advice. Fan.

Qiu Jun was alert: "Why did you suddenly think about this?"

Brother Wen looked shy: "It's nothing, I just thought that the New Year would be more lively in the capital. Didn't Brother Meng Jin bring back a batch of albums from Dunhuang? I just thought about compiling some new ones based on the albums. Play, so that everyone knows what kind of treasure we left outside the customs."

Qiu Jun frowned and said, "You are already a Hanlin editor, so you can't indulge in this."

Brother Wen said: "That's not what you said when you wrote "Five Ethics Complete Records"!"

Wang Shu commented a few words on his masterpiece, and he still holds grudges to this day!

Lao Qiu, Lao Qiu, you can’t have double standards in life!

Qiu Jun's face turned even worse.

Qiu Jun said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has already been eyeing you, and you are still dealing with these people from all walks of life. How will you gain a foothold in the court in the future?" He had been in the court for decades at that time, and he saw that he had little hope. Can't you just do whatever you want? Brother Wen's situation is completely different!

Seeing Qiu Jun's unhappy look, Brother Wen immediately promised, "I know what I'm doing and won't delay the business. Don't you think I'm the first one to come to you to find out more?"

After hearing this, Qiu Jun's expression softened slightly, and he pulled a few opera-related books to Brother Wen. Instead of letting Brother Wen go to others to ask questions, it would be better for him to explain it clearly to Brother Wen.

Brother Wen read a few books on opera at Qiu Jun's side, and then went to Zhang Ling and others to discuss the matter. Soon, there was an art director (Zhang Ling and Zhou Chen) and a music director (Wang Jiusi). , they are all very interested in this project, and especially want to put the Dunhuang murals on the stage that are so beautiful that they will never forget to leave.

Since he has received royalties in various ways since he was a child, Brother Wen has also been able to contact a series of cultural and creative product manufacturers, and he can easily penetrate the cultural and creative products derived from Dunhuang murals into the capital during this year's New Year's Day and Lantern Festival holidays!

For Zhang Ling and Zhou Chen, this was not only an excellent opportunity to make extra money, but also allowed them to more thoroughly deconstruct the copied Dunhuang murals.

The members of the new club began to take action frequently, and they would gather together to discuss for half a day every holiday.

The man named Zhang Ling often invited friends to go in and out of those Ququ Hutongs.

The procuratorate was all in high spirits.

As soon as I got to know him, I realized that this guy loves to go to these places and even often stays with prostitutes in Suzhou.

There is another person named Tang Yin who plays well with him. This guy even struggled with the provincial examination this year. Just because this guy was dissolute and had a bad reputation, the imperial censor vetoed his qualification for the provincial examination with one vote. He was also the prefect of Suzhou. Wu Kuan, Shen Zhou, Wen Lin and others insisted on recommending him, and the imperial censor reluctantly added him to the supplementary list of the provincial examination.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't even be qualified for the provincial examination.

It turns out that this guy passed the Nanjing Jieyuan exam this year.

As soon as this result came out, to Wu Kuan and the others, who was a wise and discerning man, they all found out that the censor who had gone out to study had turned out to be a bad person.

According to the report from the imperial censor, isn't it Zhang Ling and Zhang Mengjin who loves to work with Tang Yin?!

However, Zhang Ling, a ninth-grade official, is the type that even the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't bother to care about.

The censors again set their sights on Brother Wen. Well, you, Wang Xiaozhuangyuan, not only mixed with such a person of bad character, but also introduced him to the prince... Wait a minute, who did Wang Xiaoxuanwang introduce to the prince?

Is the painter here?

When everyone recalled, they discovered that Brother Wen

The person who introduced him to the East Palace was a painter named Zhou Chen. Compared with his friendship with Zhang Ling, Tang Yin and the others, Brother Wen and Zhou Chen could only be regarded as casual acquaintances who had met a few times. He gave the prince Zhou Chen's set of paintings of Suzhou.

The beggar's picture album made the prince raise a sheep to remind himself that there are still many people suffering in the world!

After several rounds of praise from the Cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, this matter was known to everyone in the government and the public.

Therefore, when the young champion Wang recommended a painter to the prince, he did not recommend anyone he knew. Instead, he recommended Zhou Chen, whom he had only met a few times before!

...I can't even criticize this matter.

In a different place, if I had a status like Wang Xiaozhuangyuan and the favor of the royal family at a young age, could I really resist doing something for personal gain and bending the law? I might not bend the law, but I would always do it for personal gain, right?

?!

But the young champion Wang is! Yes! No! Yes!

The few censors who once again tried to take a bite of Brother Wen's hard nut were a little desperate.

Wang Xiaozhuangyuan is so terrifying!!!

How could there be such a child!!!

I guess it was taught by his teacher Xie Qian step by step.

Now the censor's eyes towards Xie Qian, the young pavilion elder, became complicated.

Brother Wen never knew anything about all this. He had no idea that although he had no chance to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was full of legends about him!

Next, Brother Wen is busy using this year's Spring Festival holiday in the capital to build momentum for the Hexi Corridor, trying to seize the opportunity to attract wealthy and leisure merchants to revitalize the commercial villages, and to attract scholars with ideals and pursuits to engage in cultural and educational construction.

.There must be publicity that touches people's hearts, and there must be tangible benefits. If you want to form a truly virtuous cycle, you must not just deceive people.

People have legs. If you keep bragging, won’t others be able to run away?

It was only because the military households in the military camps could not escape that they were willing to take root in such a miserable place.

In the past, merchants were willing to make great efforts to build commercial villages under the border for the sake of the salt supply provided by the court.

You still have to submit letters to fight for all kinds of policy inclinations. We are all adults, we can't just talk about dreams, right?

For example, if you want to take a teaching position in other places for six years before you can continue to take the imperial examination, the Hexi Corridor can reduce the salary as appropriate and give you a full salary. At the same time, it promises that if there are any good opportunities in the future, people with this kind of experience can be given priority under the same conditions.

.For the imperial court, this is just a matter of words. It does not require too much initial investment and should not encounter much opposition.

If you have to spend a lot of money, you won't be able to pass the Household Department test first.

Hu Bu: Don’t ask, just ask because I don’t have money. I don’t have money for whatever you want to do.

Brother Wen has visited the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development a few times and was deeply impressed by the fussy and fussy behavior of the Ministry of Finance and Economics, so he always made plans when making plans.

The first thing to consider is budget.

Anyway, don’t use real money if you can make policy decisions, don’t use money from the national treasury if you can use other people’s money, and try to ensure that the entire plan will not be rejected by the court due to budget issues. Even if the court disagrees with some of the content, it can still be discussed!

Brother Wen was very busy, and soon November came. He had several sets of samples on hand, including his "Journey to the West", Zhang Ling's "Dunhuang Picture Album", and various derivative products, from toys to ornaments.

From window grilles to lanterns, from tea sets and tableware to stationery supplies, you can find them all! If you buy any derivative product, you can get a free booklet, which you can take to different stores to get stamps.

Although you don’t have the money to collect a full set of derivative peripherals, you can collect all the seals!

These seals were also designed by Zhang Ling himself. The patterns were all based on the Dunhuang Grottoes, and they looked very gorgeous and exquisite.

Who wouldn’t want to cover one after seeing it!
Chapter completed!
