Cheng Qian was very confident in his achievements, until Li Shimin asked him to go over for dinner, and handed him a newspaper.
The Imperial Times, which is a newly founded newspaper, is different from the semi-monthly newspaper published on the fifth day, and this newly established newspaper is more prominent in the core of immediacy.
Although there is not only one newspaper in Datang today, the Imperial Times is the first newspaper to be published daily.
The Imperial Times also used the empire's land and water post station system to be printed at the same time in 11 major cities of Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Xiangyang, Yangzhou, Chengdu, Jinling, Guangzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Hongzhou, and then distributed in all directions.
This is the mature distribution method of Banyuetan to run the journal to the present, they use multiple editorial departments to organize the manuscript, and then as soon as the manuscript is confirmed, they use the flying pigeon system to send the sample journal to 11 branches.
Eleven branches used movable type printing to assemble and then print, and then used the mature system of land and water post stations to distribute these printed newspapers to the states as soon as possible.
Datang now has 18 provinces and more than 300 states, and they have been able to cover nearly 100 states in the country on the same day of publication, and then the next day, basically all states can receive newspapers, and on the third day at the latest, almost more than ninety percent of the counties can receive newspapers.
Although for some places, the newspaper they got was already yesterday and the day before yesterday, but this speed still surprised the world.
Compared with the semi-monthly talk that is published every five days, the daily issue of the Times, even if some places are a day or two behind, it is still very popular.
As for the people in Xiangyang City, where the head office is located, they can see the freshest newspapers every day.
The news of what happened yesterday can basically be seen in the afternoon of the next day.
In fact, the Imperial Times is not a morning newspaper, it should be an evening newspaper, because this newspaper can only be obtained in the afternoon at the earliest, but it is still surprising and delightful that yesterday's events can be seen in the newspaper today without leaving home.
Even Emperor Li Shimin is now subscribing to many newspapers, basically all the newspapers, magazines and weekly magazines that are available on the market now.
Of course, he prefers to read Banyuetan and The Times, both of which are in the hands of Li Ji.
Although there are more advertisements, Li Shimin also likes to read the advertisements above, and these advertisements are more distinctive, and when you look at these advertisements, you can sometimes see a lot of things that cannot be seen in the music.
He also has a favorite section, which is the people's livelihood economy version, and he especially likes to see all kinds of prices above, advertisements such as investment leasing and recruitment, which is the real people's livelihood reaction.
The rent of Xiangyang City, the selling price of the shops, how much is a pound of meat today, how much is a bucket of rice, what is the price of vegetables, and how much is the work of the people, it is clear at a glance.
Of course, there will be a lot of news in the newspapers, such as the central personnel adjustment just announced by the imperial court, and the new list of 11 prime ministers, which will be published in this newspaper.
The headline on the front page of the Times today is this news.
There is a lot of space in the back, which is to introduce the resumes of these eleven prime ministers, and the comments are very objective.
Even if the owner of this newspaper is actually Li Chao, he did not boast and beautify Li Chao.
Of course, the people must prefer to see these, but Li Shimin has no interest in this, the prime ministers are chosen by him, he knows everyone's resumes better, and even he has a lot of hidden information.
In today's Times, there is a piece of news that interests Li Shimin.
That is, the Li family published in the newspaper the results of their family's recruitment of scholars, and the final examination, with an admission list on it.
There were not many people admitted by the Li family, a total of more than 1,100 people took their exams, and in the end only 100 people were admitted, and they didn't even reach the ten to one as stated in advance.
Cheng Qian took the newspaper.
The first name that catches your eye is not him.
That name is not Li Chengqian, nor is it Li Chengzong.
He was a little surprised, remembering that when the exam came out, many people said that the exam was difficult, and he himself felt that the content of this exam was very miscellaneous, and it was even stricter than the Jinshi Department of the imperial court.
But he did well in his own exams.
Looking further down, in second place, there is no him.
Third place, still without him. kept looking down, and in the thirteenth place, Chengqian saw the name Li Chengzong.
After reading it, he was a little surprised.
I actually only took the thirteenth place in the exam Li Shimin looked at the prince's reaction and saw that he was just surprised, but a little relieved.
He heard that the prince was very confident in this exam, and he was worried that his grades were not too good, and he was in a bad mood.
"I sent someone to investigate, and the admission list that the Li family considered this time is very fair, just and open, and there is nothing to be bored with, including your grades, and they have not touched it.
The Li family knows that there are no more than five people who will take the test, but none of them have adjusted the final admission list.
Thirteenth, this is your real strength. ” "It's only thirteenth."
Cheng Qian pursed his lips.
"Thirteen is already very good, but there are more than 1,000 people who are taking the exam with you, how old are you this year?"
Cheng Qian shook his head, "But I started studying at the age of three, and the people who taught me were the great Confucians of the world, and I am still Li Xiang's personal disciple."
Besides, the more than 1,000 people in the Li family's exam this time are not the best scholars in the world.
Most of them are just poor scholars, and many of them are just rough and simple.
I only got thirteen in the exam, and it seems that my literary talent is not as good as I thought. ” Li Shimin smiled and comforted his son, the prince was able to get this result, which was beyond his expectations.
The Li family's test paper, he has seen it, and it is very difficult.

Compared with the content of the imperial examinations in the imperial court in the past two years, it is really the difficulty of Jinshi and Xiucai, and the Ming Jing is not so difficult.
In other words, the person admitted by the Li family this time is actually a big wave and has the level of a new science and technology scholar.
This is a very surprising result.
The imperial court takes an exam once a year, and there are hundreds of subjects in various subjects every year, and hundreds of people are finally admitted, but among them, there are only a dozen real Jinshi and Mingjing.
But the Li family selected a hundred people at once.
Of these 100 people, Li Shimin has also sent someone to inquire about their identities.
Most of them are from poor families, and they didn't even have a reputation before.
Some of these people have participated in the imperial imperial examination, and some have already participated in two sessions, but they have all failed.
It's not that these people are not excellent, but that the admission conditions of the imperial court are different.
These children of the poor family participated in the imperial court, although their skills were very good and excellent, but they were not recommended by high-ranking officials and nobles, nor did they have any circulating literary names and talents, and they did not have excellent and noble backgrounds.
There are also some people who were admitted to the Li family, but they were scholars who could not participate in the imperial imperial examination.
Some of these people are the sons of untouchables, the children of merchants and craftsmen, and even the Hu people.
Although these people also read the books of sages and sages and were talented, they were not even qualified to participate in the imperial imperial examination, but the Li family did not restrict them and opened the door to them.
Don't ask anything, just look at talent.
Among the 100 people admitted by the Li family this time, there are very few who are really from the scholar clan and the children of bureaucrats.
"Father, the sons heard that the Li family will hold such a recruitment of scholars every three years in the future, and select outstanding scholars to go to the territory of the Duke of Zhao to serve as a scribe and a bookkeeper.
There were so many people who took the exam this time, and their exam was so open, fair and just, that Erchen thought that when the exam was held again next time, more people would definitely come to take it. ” "Father, there are many talented people among these scholars, and they should be selected and hired by the imperial court to serve the imperial court.
Our imperial examination, to be honest, is really too different from the Li family.
Erchen suggested that the imperial court also reform the method of the imperial examination, changing the examination from once a year in the past to an examination every three years, and also implementing a vague name system.
In addition, change those subjects, those specialties have a separate time for the exam, and the Jinshi department comes out separately, just like the Li family's exam, increasing the difficulty of the exam, but those who are excellent must also be admitted more.
It is too few to take only a few people and dozens of people in a subject, at least a hundred or even more, so that the imperial court can have a steady stream of outstanding talents. ” When the prince spoke, Li Shimin was very relieved that the prince could already see so far.
However, Li Shimin did not plan to answer the prince immediately on this matter.
At the beginning of the establishment of the imperial examination, the original intention was to take scholars.
But the Tang Dynasty was established with the support of those old and new nobles and scholars, the upper and lower levels of the court, the Guanlongmen lords, the new upstarts in the military, and the Eastern scholars, etc., these are the most important forces in the imperial court, and he is also choosing scholars and officials from the poor family and ordinary small landlords, but their strength is still too weak.
There are not many scholars in the imperial examination, because these noble bureaucrats in the imperial court are not willing to see too many scholars in the imperial examination.
The children of their family can enter the office, so why should they go to the imperial examination to restrict the imperial examination, so that their rights and interests are more protected.
It's not that Li Shimin can't see the current problems of the imperial examination, and it's not that he doesn't want to change it, but that he will affect his whole body.
The reform of the imperial examination system, for the small landlord class of the Hanmen and the small scholar clan, this is their entry into the official ranks, and it is a golden road for them to enter politics.
But for the Tushi clan, this is just a dispensability.
And for those old lords and military nouveau riches, they insist on opposition.
They all rely on military merit and the shadow of the door, and it is good to practice martial arts to fight, and anyway, they can be transferred to civilian officials when they become military attachés.
But once there are more scholars in the imperial examination in the future, will their children have to pick up books and change their studies in the future, and compete with those mud-legged people for the imperial examination places Li Chao was the chief examiner of the imperial examination, but he didn't get this set he got at home into the imperial examination, naturally because he had seen through all this, Li Chao didn't want to go against the nobles and bureaucrats of the Manchu Dynasty and those scholars, because he himself was one of these people.
What makes Li Shimin not very happy is that Li Chao is not kind.
He didn't implement this set in the imperial court, but he did it in his own home, and he did it so thoroughly, regardless of his background, he just took the judge.
What the imperial court couldn't do, Li Chao did it first without any scruples.
Seeing that Li Chao admitted hundreds of outstanding scholars at once, Li Shimin was really a little jealous.
"Prince, if you want to be fast, sometimes you don't have a good end to a good result, and you have to have a good means.
It will take some time to reform the imperial examination system, and the conditions are not enough now." t1706231537:
