The Title of the World's Number One Scholar! Kneel, tip, and comment
The Great Tang Genius Competition!
To put it bluntly.
In the future, it would be a talent selection.
This was also Lu Yuan's plan to hold the Great Tang's first Happy Talents Competition!
Since he was here, if he didn't do something interesting, how boring would life be?
He firmly believed.
When this new model appeared in the Great Tang, it was bound to cause a celebration.
At this moment.
Facing Li Shi Min's confusion, the corner of his mouth gradually rose, revealing a meaningful smile.
Then, he explained," Your Majesty, this is exactly what I'm trying to do. There are no restrictions on the participants. They only need to pay a registration fee of 200 coins!”
Two hundred wen per person?
Li Shi Min couldn't help but frown when he heard the number.
"In this way, it's just a drop in the bucket for hundreds of thousands of silver coins.”Fang Xuanling asked doubtfully.
A drop in the bucket?
Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled and asked,""Lord Fang, do you know how many people live in the Great Tang?”
"More than sixty million," Fang Xuanling replied without hesitation.”
"How many people are there who can read and write, regardless of age?”Lu Yuan asked.
Facing this question, he hesitated for a moment before giving an answer.
"Our Great Tang was founded on martial arts, and there are many scholars in the world.”Fang Xuanling said after a rough calculation.
A few million people was actually not an exaggeration.
Back when Lu Yuan was young, the population of the country was more than one billion, and 30% of them were studying in school.
In this era of the Great Tang, not everyone could read.
However, if there was no age limit, the number would increase by quite a bit.
At this point.
Lu Yuan nodded and said," That's right. There are millions of scholars in the Great Tang. If more than half of them participate in this conference, each person will receive two hundred wen. Can you help me calculate how much we can get, Lord Fang?"”
"Your Majesty, if there are five million people participating in this convention, each of them will receive two hundred wen, which is one million strings of silver!”
Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin were stunned.
Other than being shocked by this number, the most important thing was Lu Yuan's bold plan.
Any normal person would not dare to do such a thing.
Li Shi Min immediately denied it in his heart. He shook his head and exclaimed,""This is simply impossible. How can so many commoners participate?”
" That's millions of people!"
"According to this plan, at most, it can only attract some young talents. The rest is simply wishful thinking.”
Dai Zhou, who was standing at the side, did not say anything at this moment.
However, his widened eyes were enough to explain everything.
However, at this moment, Lu Yuan was already a lunatic in his eyes. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such crazy thoughts.
The reason was simple.
Throughout the years, the annual income of the entire Tang national treasury was only this number. According to Lu Yuan's actions, the money he raised alone was comparable to the income of the entire national treasury!!!
When he thought of this, Dai Zhou was instantly shocked.
At the same time.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Cheng Yaojin were also unable to remain calm.
"Lu Yuan, do you know that even the number of people participating in the imperial examinations in the Great Tang may not reach this number?!" Zhangsun Wuji shouted.”
"Oh my god, you're really a freak!" Cheng Yaojin said.”
As for Fang Xuanling, he said helplessly,"Lu Yuan, this strange move is indeed inconceivable. However, how can a mere Scholar Competition attract so many people?
That's right!
Everything in her imagination was beautiful.
However, why would the sudden appearance of the Scholar Competition attract so many people?
With no one participating, this move was completely futile.
At this point, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became strange.
Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was in disbelief. He was no longer as calm as before, and the First Rank officials in the court were all shocked.
Instead, it was this fifteen-year-old youth.
He stood calmly in the middle of the hall.
However…
Since Lu Yuan had brought up this matter, he naturally had a plan in mind. He explained it unhurriedly.
"The number one scholar of the Great Tang!"
"As for the reward for the final winner of the Grand Meeting, in addition to being an official in the court, His Majesty can also confer him the title of the number one scholar in the world.”
"Who can resist the temptation of this title?”He said slowly.
The number one scholar?
Fang Xuanling felt a little awkward at first, but after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly understood what Lu Yuan meant.
Students from poor families have been studying hard for more than ten years.
Why?
Compared to changing the predicament of the family, it was more important to gain some fame.
This was undoubtedly a common problem for all scholars.
From important officials like Fang Xuanling to students from poor families, all scholars paid great attention to reputation and fame.
The number one scholar in the world!
What an honorable title.
With this title, where would he not be respected and become a guest of honor?
In this era where there was no number one in literature and no number two in martial arts, if one obtained this title, it would definitely be recorded and praised by future generations. From this point of view, even the top scholar of the imperial examination could not compare.
The aristocratic families had always paid attention to their reputation, and no matter how rich those wealthy businessmen were, they were always upstarts that the upper class looked down on.
So...
These people would definitely spare no effort to obtain the title of number one in the world.
Let alone 200 wen, they wouldn't even blink if it was 200 strings.
Moreover, this convention would not restrict one's age and status. In order to have more opportunities, these people would probably even send their children or themselves to participate.
As for Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji.
At this moment, they were all dumbfounded.
Obviously.
Lu Yuan's move was indeed exquisite.
However, after a while, they also noticed some mistakes and immediately said,"But…in this way, those scholars who know that they are lacking in talent and knowledge and are unable to stand out will definitely give up in advance.”
"Of course, there's a way to resolve this!”Lu Yuan smiled.
After hearing this, the higher-ups in the hall were instantly curious.
At this point.
They had already dispelled their doubts and instead, they were looking forward to finding out how Lu Yuan had planned this.
