Chapter 43: job fair
I have to say that Li Shimin's work efficiency is quite fast. On the second day, there was another notice on the side of the recruitment notice in Prince Liang's Mansion. This notice was made by Li Shimin's own pen and ink. Mo Ke's eyes.
"Nowadays, the Holy Majesty personally reviews the Shengtang Commercial Daily. Doesn't that mean that the articles we write can be directly read by the Emperor!"
"It's still fake, if you are appreciated by the emperor, it is not impossible to fly to the sky!"
"Then the Shengtang Business Daily is comparable to the imperial examination!"
"It's a pity that only the recruited editor-in-chief and editor-in-charge can write articles in the business newspaper. Articles contributed by others must pass the review of the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-charge, and they can only be reported after passing the review."
"Brother Zhao's words are very true, but we can't lose the integrity of our scholars. I still have something to do, so I will take a step first!" A scholar rolled his eyes and ran away.
"Brother Zhang, where are you going?" The person called Brother Zhao squeezed out the crowd in front of the notice and shouted.
An old fruit seller saw him, and said disdainfully, "Idiot, of course he has gone to the Prince Liang's Mansion!"
"Ah!" Brother Zhao looked at Brother Zhang who was running faster than a rabbit. The street was leading to Prince Liang's Mansion. He jumped and cursed: "It's really shameless!"
The front of Prince Liang's Mansion is now crowded with people, heavy traffic, colorful flags fluttering, and gongs and drums. Compared with yesterday's deserted place, it is really a different place.
A pair of geniuses meet:
"Brother Wang!"
"Brother Li!"
"It is said that Brother Wang's high-spirited talk in Qujiang Pond yesterday made all the scholars go away in shame, and no longer mentioned the matter of applying for a job at Prince Liang's Mansion. Why is Brother Wang here today?"
"Rumor! It's definitely a rumor. His Royal Highness King Liang understands the righteousness. I can't wait to shout loudly. How can I say such unreasonable words."
"Is that true?"
"I swear to God!"
"..."
The sun rose three poles, and more and more people gathered in front of the Wangfu, but there was no movement in the Liangwangfu.
"My lord, when will this job fair start? We have been waiting for two hours!" A Mr. Pian Pian was a little impatient.
Jin Daqian lined up with 20 nursing homes at the gate of the palace to maintain order and sanitation at the site, and those caught throwing garbage and spitting anywhere would be immediately disqualified.
"My lord is busy with business. Are you the one who sees you whenever you want, or disappears when you don't want to? If you say another word of nonsense, you will be disqualified immediately!" Jin Daqian said, blowing his beard and staring at him. Thinking of the grievances the lord suffered yesterday, he felt annoyed. A guy with a noble appearance, his anger became even bigger.
Being rushed by Jin Daqian, Mr. Pianpian turned pale, coughed awkwardly, and stopped talking.
In the palace, Li Yin was enjoying Su Mo'er's shoulder massage. After Yun'er left, Li Yin felt really uncomfortable facing those servants who were like lumps of wood, and became angry several times. After Su Mo'er found out, he sent him away. As the maidservant next to Li Min, he was both a housekeeper and a maidservant.
"My lord, how long are you going to hang those scholars out?" Su Mo'er asked, listening to the noisy voices outside the palace.
Li Yin squinted his eyes comfortably: "It will take two days anyway, things that are too easy to get will not be cherished, and we greet each other with smiles, but it seems that we are impatient. Come back innocent."
In two days, the number of scholars outside the Prince Liang's mansion continued unabated. During this period, according to Jin Daqian's report, a serious food poisoning incident occurred, which caused hundreds of scholars to have diarrhea. Finally, after being interrogated by Marquis Wu, the porridge seller was caught. It turns out that this is an old scholar who has been unsuccessful in the Sui and Tang dynasties for 40 years. In order to give it a go, he made this terrible plan.
As soon as this incident happened, everyone was in an uproar, and the trust between the scholars plummeted. They guarded each other, but there were still many scholars who were suddenly hit by a brick while walking.
On the third day, the scholars who had been suffering for two days finally received good news. The surviving scholars celebrated with each other playing their crowns, and some scholars with their heads wrapped in white cloth even shed tears of happiness—they finally survived.
The interviewer this time is mainly Su Mo'er, and the prince Li Yin is just watching the show. The subjects of the first interview are articles and poems. This is the hardware. show up.
Talented scholars who stood out from the articles and poems took out the recommendation documents issued by the government. These documents recorded whether these people were filial and honest, and their conduct was noble. Those who passed both tests were also tested for resilience. After a day of interviews, the team of Shengtang Business Daily was finally settled.
"Your Highness, this is Shangguanyi, the editor-in-chief of Shengtang Business Daily!" After a few days, Su Morer was also a little tired, but it is gratifying that she has indeed found a talent.
When Li Yin saw this name in the admission list, he was also a little surprised, and couldn't help wondering if it was really the Shangguanyi in history.
Looking at the bowed young man in front of him who was only twenty-five years old, Li Yin asked, "Where are you from?"
"My lord, I am from Shan County, Shanzhou!"
Shangguanyi in the history books is indeed a surname from Shanxian County, Shanzhou, but he was a Jinshi in the first year of Zhenguan, and then entered the Hongwen Museum. How could he come out to apply for the editor-in-chief now!
What is Hongwenkan? That was the place to recruit talents for the prince. Li Yin's face darkened. The prince had already intervened in the underground pipeline. This time, the prince played with him again in the newspaper, and wanted to plant spies in the commercial newspaper.
If it was the former Li Yin, he would have fallen for the prince's tricks. It's a pity that he didn't know anything about Shangguan Wan'er's own grandfather.
"Well, do it well! You go out first!" Li Yin looked as usual, and after Shangguanyi left, Li Yin said to Su Mo'er: "Release Shangguanyi to editor in charge!"
"Your Highness, why is that? I read his papers, and his essays are the best!" Su Mo'er was puzzled.
"Because he belongs to the prince!" Li Yin said word by word.
Su Mo'er's face turned pale: "Your Highness, just drive him out!"
"No, this will only scare the snake. If the prince sends someone else next time, we may not be able to tell the difference!"
Su Mo'er nodded, then suddenly lowered his head, "Your Highness, it's because of Mo'er's fault that he lured wolves into the house!"
"You don't have to blame yourself. This Shangguanyi is very talented. It's me, and I will choose him, but we may not be able to take this opportunity to poach the prince's corner so that he can steal the chicken and lose money." Li Yin's eyes Squinting, it seems that a war without gunpowder has already begun.
In the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, Shangguanyi was reporting to Li Chengqian what he had seen and heard in the Prince Liang's Mansion. Beside Li Chengqian stood a young man in a blue round-neck shirt, shaking a paper fan and nodding non-stop.
