Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting, Set Up a Reward! Kneel, tip, and comment
In the future.
There were two most difficult things.
The first thing he did was to put his knowledge into someone else's head.
A few days ago, Lu Yuan was conferred the title of Crown Prince's Grand Protector and became Li Chengqian's teacher. To a certain extent, he was the role of being enlightened. From the current situation, with Li Chengqian's idiotic character, it would not be an easy task.
And the second thing.
That was to put other people's money into his own pocket.
This was what Lu Yuan was doing at this moment.
How to make them take the initiative to call out, naturally, there were some methods.
After a while.
Under the watchful eyes of Li Shiming, Fang Xuanling, and Cheng Yaojin, Lu Yuan revealed his plan.
He said,"Your Majesty, you can announce the Imperial Roll and start the selection in the entire Great Tang."”
"There are so many of us, how should we choose?" Fang Xuanling quickly asked.”
Lu Yuan quickly explained," Each county's government will hold a meeting to select the top ten scholars. After that, the provincial governors will conduct another selection. Finally, the top ten will be selected to enter the capital for a competition.”
"Finally, the top ten scholars will be selected. At that time, His Majesty and the civil and military officials will personally supervise the competition!”
In the current Great Tang…
They were the administrative levels of the county, state, and path.
With all of the provinces and counties of the Great Tang selecting scholars at the same time, the duration of the Grand Meeting could be greatly reduced.
After all, Lu Yuan didn't want it to end after a year and a half.
Seeing that Li Shiming and the others were still feeling uneasy, he said again,"I know that most scholars are good at poetry, so in order to attract more talents, I am prepared to join the competition in the fields of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.”
Just as Lu Yuan said.
Poetry was the most common thing. If one knew that they were not as talented as others, some people might not join in.
Therefore, he added zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting to attract more people.
And it was the same as the former.
In Lu Yuan's plan, there were also a series of rewards for the four arts.
Even though he couldn't compare to the first place, the title of the number one scholar in the world.
However…
The number one painter of the Great Tang!
The number one zither player of the Great Tang!
This title was also a supreme honor.
This was especially true in this era. With this title, one would become the idol of countless scholars wherever they went, and one could become famous overnight in the Great Tang.
After all, the title of first place was really eye-catching.
At this moment, Li Shi Min was shocked.
Because they already knew that Lu Yuan had tightly grasped the inner desires of the scholars.
His reputation when he was alive!
Since ancient times, this was undoubtedly something that people sought after.
Compared to the imperial examinations and their backgrounds, this competition without any restrictions was undoubtedly their best opportunity. Even if the competition ahead was fierce, they would definitely participate with an attitude of giving it a try.
Two hundred wen!
For ordinary people, it was enough to feed a family for several days.
However, to the aristocratic families and wealthy merchants, it would cost hundreds of taels of silver to build connections for each imperial examination, so this little registration fee was not in their eyes at all.
It could be said.
This was enough to move most people.
Hearing this, Li Shiming nodded silently, but his brows did not relax. He asked,"Lu Yuan, I still feel that something is not right…"
It wasn't that he was against Lu Yuan's plan.
However, Li Shiming was worried that not many people would participate.
How many aristocratic families were there in the Great Tang?
Other than the five surnames and seven Wangs, there were only a few hundred aristocratic families in Guanzhong and Jiangnan. Although there were many local gentry, it was indeed a lot of pressure for poor scholars.
Especially when one's talent wasn't outstanding.
Rather than chasing after glory, some people would rather eat their fill.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yuan.
"Your Majesty!"
"In addition to these titles, Your Majesty can set up some awards.”
"Whoever becomes the number one scholar of the Great Tang will receive ten thousand strings of silver, and those who rank first in the four categories of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting will also receive two thousand strings of silver.”
No one in the Great Tang could resist the temptation of thousands of taels of silver.
That was a wealth that could not be spent in a lifetime.
Besides the top scholar, the rest of the candidates would also receive corresponding rewards.
Under such circumstances, those poor scholars who lived frugally would also participate in the competition to obtain the opportunity to rise to fame. As long as they were the commoners who had the slightest desire, they would change their minds.。
To put it bluntly.
Even if they borrowed two hundred coins, they wouldn't miss it.
At this moment, Lu Yuan did not stop. He continued,"Not only that, we can also evaluate the top ten scholars of the prefecture and county, as well as the top ten scholars of the township and county!”
"In this way, the scholars and scholars of the Great Tang will definitely participate enthusiastically!!!”
Silence!
The entire hall fell into a dead silence.
They were shocked when they heard Lu Yuan's rough calculation.
After hearing the detailed plan and actions, everyone was in disbelief. They looked at Lu Yuan with dull eyes as if they were looking at a monster.
Reputation!
Official career!
Money!
From any aspect, the methods that Lu Yuan had prepared made it difficult for the people of the world to resist the temptation.
Such a meticulous plan, even the old ministers like Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but feel ashamed. It was truly beyond a miracle.
One had to know that Lu Yuan was only a fifteen-year-old young man!
In time.
If a few more years passed and these old fellows gradually grew old, this child would definitely become a pillar of the court.
Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Cheng Yaojin's expressions changed, and they had no idea what they were thinking.
As for Li Shi Min in the main hall.
After pondering for a long time, he could not help but exclaim,"Good! Good plan!"
"Assistant Minister, you two pass on my decree. Post the Yellow Board and announce to the world that all the talented people in the world will be gathered to participate in the Great Tang's Talents Competition. As for the details, do as Minister Lu says.”
"In addition, Xuanling and Dai Zhou, you two might be able to assist.”
Li Shi Min said.
The matter could be considered settled and the arrangements were made.
This matter was a big project, so it was not something that could be handled by one person. Other than Lu Yuan, these people naturally had to come forward to help.
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
····
Afterwards.
Li Shiming signaled for him to hide the truth.
The rest of the officials in the court did not know the outcome of their discussion.
However, some of the officials had heard some news from the palace guards. They only knew that there was a burst of laughter in the hall that day.
