Chapter 1117 The King of Years: An 8-year-old Turtle.
Why does Shen Xia only ask for a scholar?
There was no request even for the Juren.
Because to become a juren, one must be in his twenties.
It is very rare for a Jinshi to be under 30 years old.
If you want young ones, you can only choose those who are above the draft level.
This age is only around twenty.
Secondly, the more educated people are, the higher their self-esteem will be, and they may look down on business.
East gate.
Shen Xia asked someone to make a large bulletin board.
What new policies will the country have in the future?
They will post notices.
So now the teahouse at the east gate is the busiest teahouse in the whole capital.
Among the many students, they like to come here and sit when they have free time, because this place is closest to the imperial power.
The new emperor is even more active-minded and likes talented people.
In the past two months, all officials have known that Her Majesty is pregnant.
Those who are thoughtful feel regretful. Why is their son not in the harem?
It would take Shen Xia one or two months to gather talents and arrange work.
So Shen Xia directly ordered people to demolish several courtyards in Xicheng.
It's at the west gate of the palace.
The environment in the east and west of Beijing is completely different.
On one side is the rich area and on the other side is the poor area.
The first thing Shen Xia wanted to do was to change West City.
It would be better to set up a hospital.
Because every family in Dongcheng can afford a doctor, they don't need one.
But Xicheng is different.
The people live in poverty.
They need to change the quality of their lives.
So the land in Xicheng is cheap.
Dongcheng is a residential area, and in the future, Xicheng will be a prosperous commercial area.
Song Jin directly selected several courtyards.
But it is convenient for future development.
So we chose a few large courtyards.
There is an exhibition area, an office area, and an accommodation area at the back.
Why is there an accommodation area?
Because of this incident, Shen Xia plans to take the national unified examination.
Therefore, people from other places will also come to Beijing. For those who have just arrived in Beijing and whose conditions are not good, renting a yard is quite expensive, so it is better to include accommodation.
East gate.
After Song Jin and Shen Xia discussed the plan, they asked someone to post the announcement.
And Song Jin has already gone to West City.
The room over there needs to be pushed back and rebuilt, and the project is quite large, so Song Jin has to go and oversee it personally.
Song Jin felt like he was really going to be busy to death.
All those people who I trained were separated.
I really need to have three heads and six arms to handle all this.
Now that we have hired new people, we just need to arrange all the tasks.
But it is also very troublesome to lead people in the early stage.
It takes a period of time.
And people drinking tea in the tea house.
The eunuch who was watching came out to post the notice.
The students sitting by the window saw it first.
They came out in twos and threes.
One or two of them came out with a group of people.
After a short while, many people gathered around the imperial edict.
The announcement is long.
"Thank you, brother? What does this mean?"
The man called Brother Xie: "It's very simple! I heard before that your majesty cares more about business and believes that the central idea of people living and working in peace and contentment must start with business development."
A man nearby heard this and said, "Business, to put it bluntly, is about businessmen and dealing with those money-making things. As scholars, how can we get involved in such low-level money-making things?"
The student surnamed Xie looked at the man who was talking next to him and said, "You need money to buy food, so don't eat it. You also need money to buy clothes, so don't wear them. Also, the jade pendant on your waist is quite nice. I think it cost a lot of money. This kind of vulgar thing is not worthy of your image as a scholar."
hum...
pedantic.
What is the purpose of their hard work in studying?
It's nothing more than standing out from the crowd.
And what is the purpose of getting ahead?
Isn’t it just to let my family live a good life?
And a good life has something to do with money.
Obviously everyone loves money, but he pretends to be a scholar and shows his nobility.
Extremely hypocritical.
When the man heard this, his face flushed as he looked at the classmate named Xie. He felt that the little thoughts in his heart were suddenly exposed in broad daylight.
He comes from an average family.
This jade pendant was given to him by someone else. He couldn't afford it himself, so he always wore it to show his taste.
The man felt that he had been hit on the point, and he was a little annoyed: "My dear brother, am I wrong? From ancient times to the present, scholars, farmers, officials and merchants, merchants are the lowest class. How can we, as scholars, have anything to do with merchants?"
The man surnamed Xie nodded: "Yes, so you should throw away this jade pendant!"
"You...you...are so unreasonable..."
The classmate named Xie was a student of the Imperial College.
He is now a juren.
He entered the Imperial College based on his own strength.
Only twenty years old this year.
His name is Xie He.
"What do you mean by 'I'? The emperor is wise and has exempted taxes since he ascended the throne, changing the lives of the people. He also wants to use commerce to enrich the people and not exploit the people. Since Your Majesty thinks that commerce can change the lives of the people,
"As students, we should just do things according to your majesty's ideas. Regardless of whether we are scholars, farmers, merchants or artisans, the ultimate goal of us scholars is to make achievements and establish careers. What is the purpose of being an official? Isn't it to make the people live a good life?"
"As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it doesn't matter what position you hold. There are 36 professions and every profession has its own top talent. As long as I can serve Your Majesty, that's fine."
"Pah pah pah...well said..."
There was applause from a nearby carriage without any royal insignia.
There are only eight guards around, but there are many people in the dark.
At this time, everyone turned around and looked back.
No one knew where the carriage came from.
Then look at the direction.
This came out of the palace.
That girl.
Ruyi lifted the curtain.
Everyone looked at Shen Xia.
She is stunningly beautiful.
Eunuch Sun scolded: "You are not polite when you see your Majesty and the Lord."
Everyone was panicked.
Today’s Holy Lord.
Everyone knelt down and said, "Long live our emperor...Long live our lord."
After hearing this, Shen Xia whispered to Gu Zizhan, "I heard that a thousand-year-old turtle is worth ten thousand years old."
Ruyi: No, she has to hold it in.
Can't laugh.
Otherwise it would be disrespectful.
Gu Zizhan looked at him lovingly: "You are the only one who can say that without even opening your mouth. How can you scold yourself?"
Shen Xia smiled evilly: "It's okay, I scolded you too."
Gu Zizhan said: "You can scold me, but you can't scold yourself."
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, Shen Xia looked outside and said, "Everyone, stand up!"
Everyone stood up.
They can actually be so close to Your Majesty.
It's such an honor!
The point is that Your Majesty is simply gorgeous.
Shen Xia slowly said, "What a saying that every profession has its top scholar. Who said that?"
At this time, everyone was looking at Xie He.
Xie He was very excited. He had never expected to meet His Majesty.
He thought that he would have the chance to meet the emperor only when he graduated from high school.
Very unexpected.
Although he was nervous, he still took a step forward and said, "Student Xie He greets His Majesty."
Shen Xia nodded: "Well, I heard what you said just now."
