Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 486: Literati gathering
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the online game Lord of the People!
When Chutian was attacking Hebei, in Xiacheng in the rear, Sang Hongyang, the chief financial minister, was collecting money in various ways to maintain the financial balance.
Fighting costs money, and the Chutian forces pay more than one million in military salaries every month.
In addition to the main land tax and city tax, the government also monopolized the trade of some commodities, such as salt and iron, land trading, and personally intervened in certain industries, such as tea, silk, official kilns...
In any profitable industry, the government is more or less involved in order to obtain funds.
The ten-level building Jixia Academy was completed. Sang Hongyang gathered literati and actors in Jixia Academy to hold a grand ceremony. Everyone who wanted to participate in the event needed to pay 10 taels of silver.
At the same time, Sang Hongyang took this opportunity to collect donations. Anyone who raised more than a certain amount of donations can leave their names on the stone tablet and booklet of Jixia Academy.
Sang Hongyang has a thorough understanding of the Eastern Han family and the psychology of the players. When he announced this decision, he soon received donations from various well-known families who valued reputation.
The Mi family represented by Mi Zhu and Mi Fang donated 10,000 taels of silver in one go!
The Mi family took the lead, Chen Gui, Chen Deng's Chen family, Chen Qun's Yingchuan Chen family, Donghai's Wang family took the lead, and Qiao County's Cao family took the lead. The government collects millions of silver donations!
In order to look justifiable, special talents from Han Yuefu and Du Fu's Thatched Cottage gathered at Jixia Academy and invited major families and families to attend the event.
Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, Diao Chan, who usually do not show much publicity in Han Yuefu, and Du Fu, Su Shi, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and others from Du Fu Thatched Cottage, all participated in this event.
Not only that, Sang Hongyang took the opportunity to recruit scholars and writers from various states. Literati writers can bring a lot of bonuses to the territory. Therefore, with the reputation of Du Fu, Zheng Xuan, and others, literati writers from various states are attracted to Xiacheng, and they are all wiped out.
"The Mi family gave 10,000 taels of silver, the Cao family 8,000 taels, the Wang family 3,000 taels... I didn't expect the Cao family to be so rich, it seems that they will squeeze more of the Cao family in the future."
Sang Hongyang saw the donation list and found that Cao Song donated 8,000 taels in one go.
Cao Song made a fortune by speculating in real estate, and became a big businessman in Xiacheng.
Cao Song is Cao Cao's father, and he began to take care of his son's future, thinking that donating Jixia Academy would help Cao Cao be promoted in the future. In addition, Cao Song also wanted to be famous in history, and engraved his name on the stone tablet of Jixia Academy to honor his ancestors!
For the construction of ancestral halls in the countryside, the squires are willing to donate their capital, let alone a tenth-level building like Jixia Academy.
"I heard that both Cai Wenji and Diao Chan will appear at Jixia Academy."
"If that's the case, the cost of twelve taels of silver is not expensive at all."
Many male players flocked with the idea of seeing Fangrong. Twelve taels of silver is already a lot of money for many players, but male players still flock to it.
"I've been digging ditches and dredging rivers all this time, and I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."
Su Shi came back to participate in this literati event.
Now Su Shi's official position is Jinan's minister of state. He controls the local floods, and at the same time combats local feudal superstitions and weakens the influence of local tyrants.
In order to enhance the influence of Jixia Academy and make money better, Sang Hongyang, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, was naturally also on the invite list.
Du Fu and Su Shi became friends because they exchanged poetry and poetry from time to time.
Various families were also present.
The Music Square of Han Yuefu specially organized performances, and the summer city was very lively for a while, attracting many literati to come.
One of the literati came here, but was stopped by the city gate guards because he had a sword around his waist.
According to the prohibition of Xiacheng, only those who are officials are qualified to wear swords in the city, and only as decorations.
This poor man, in order to avoid being thrown into the dungeon, was forced to hand over his sword and whispered: "I didn't expect that I, Qinglian layman, can't even carry a sword. This sword cost two Twelve taels of silver."
Xiacheng's city defense army saw that this person's words and deeds were a bit extraordinary, so they said: "What Qinglian layman? If you have some skills, you can register, and special talents also enjoy the privilege of sabre."
The literati said: "I have some understanding of poetry and prose, if I can exchange it for a little wine..."
Among the people present at the Hanyuefu, Cai Wenji and Diaochan are talking. One of them is in charge of the musical instruments of the Hanyuefu, and the other is the dance, so they are colleagues.
The functions of the Han Yuefu are more complicated than before. Poetry, poetry, painting and calligraphy, musical instruments, and dance are all under the jurisdiction of the Han Yuefu.
If Taixue is an institution for cultivating officials, then Han Yuefu is an institution for managing literature and art. Officials in charge of poetry and songs usually meet in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage.
The two of them entered Jixia Academy with other officials of Han Yuefu under the protection of a team of soldiers, attracting the attention of countless players and civilians.
"There was a woman who claimed to be Li Qingzhao, who was displaced in Xiacheng, and presented two poems, hoping that she could concentrate on studying poetry and calligraphy and painting in Han Yuefu."
A clerk from the Han Yue Fu presented two poems to Du Fu, Su Shi, Cai Wenji and other literati who were named in the Han Yue Fu.
"This word uses line drawing well, the language is beautiful, and the handwriting is beautiful. It is indeed from the hand of a talented girl. This person can use it."
Among all the literati in the Han Yuefu, Su Shi, who came from the Song Dynasty, has an absolute right to speak. He can see the quality of Song Poetry. Without seeing Li Qingzhao, he immediately recognized Li Qingzhao as a special talent.
"Call her to test to see if this word is really written by her. There are too many foreigners posing as literati recently."
Cai Yong couldn't help but have a headache.
Some players pretend to be writers because they know some Tang poetry and Song poetry, but as long as they specify the title and let them write poetry in seven steps, these players often reveal their level.
The clerk said: "There is also a poet who claims to be Qinglian layman, and wants to join the Han Yuefu in exchange for some wine money."
Cai Yong frowned again.
What are these people thinking of Han Yuefu...
It's not surprising, however, that some literati are bohemian and sometimes outrageous.
"Let him come to see us, and if he doesn't have any real talent, he will be kicked out."
"Yes. There is also a literati who calls himself Ouyang Xiu. This is his parallel essay. He hopes to enter the official career and plead for the life of the people, not only to be named in the Han Yuefu..."
The clerk presents an article.
"If you want to enter an official career and ask for orders for the people, you can go directly to the lord's mansion to recommend yourself. How can you come to our Han Yue mansion."
Du Fujie took over the article, and his eyes gradually brightened: "This article is indeed extraordinary. This person has the ambition and talent to educate the people. Maybe he can recommend it to Li Cao."
The literati under the name of Han Yuefu can also educate the people and manage water conservancy, such as Su Shi, who is both a literati and a prefect.
The usually unknown Han Yuefu took this opportunity to attract talents wildly, and more and more talents gathered in the Han Yuefu.
Xiacheng's teleportation formation, Chu Tian brought several generals back to Xiacheng to rest and prepare to participate in the Battle of Jingkang.
He couldn't help frowning when he saw Xiacheng lit up with lanterns and colorful, singing and dancing.
Why is there an atmosphere in his territory where business girls don't know the hatred of the country, and they still sing the backyard flowers across the river?
Yecheng, Hefei, and Bowang are all at war~IndoMTL.com~ Xiacheng seems to be peaceful and prosperous.
"Who's running this? I'm going to..."
Chutian intends to severely punish those who held this event.
The officials in charge of the affairs of Langya Kingdom are Zhang Hong, a civil servant, and Jia Sixie, an agronomist: "Sang Hongyang organized this event to collect donations from the soldiers. So far, a total of 870,000 taels of silver have been raised."
"I must... give him a good compliment."
Chutian immediately changed his tone when he heard that 870,000 taels of silver had been raised.
If every event can raise so much gold and silver, what about the flowers of the backyard across the river.
Bai Huahua's money is the most practical.
With the finance minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in charge of the overall situation, as well as the gold mines in Jiaodong, Chutian does not need to worry about the financial crisis for the time being.
At this time, Chu Tian did not know that a group of literati such as Li Bai, Li Qingzhao, and Ouyang Xiu had appeared in Xiacheng.
