Wang Xi quickly made a decision to stay up an hour later tonight. Candles in Chang'an City are not expensive now and can be afforded. What's more, as an official, the court also distributes candles. After returning home, read more books. In particular, we should look back and reflect on the ways in which some court affairs were handled in previous years.
Let's see if there is a better way under the situation of Datang at that time.
Next year, many new elites from wealthy families will come in. Compared with ordinary people and those from merchant families, Wang Xi, who is from a poor family, knows even more how strong the disciples of these big wealthy families are.
It can be said that they are really strong in all aspects. I can't say how proficient in the Six Arts of Junzi is, but they are definitely good at it. He can definitely play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least proficient in several of them.
And what about them? People like them are going to be laughed at to death just by their words.
That is to say, His Highness invented the pencil and many hard-pen writing methods to make their handwriting less ugly, but they also need to practice calligraphy with calligraphy. After all, the current mainstream writing method is still calligraphy.
However, he seemed to have heard that a fountain pen would appear. He had seen it, but that one seemed to be given to these veterans of the court by His Highness. It was only given to those who had made contributions. It was said that the cost was high.
Those pens are very similar to hard pens when writing, but if the paper is too soft, it won't work. But now the paper used by the court is of very good quality, and it is said that the history books department only writes with pens, all of which are gifts from His Highness.
Each Historian Highness was given a pen as a gift, because a pen can write and record much faster than a brush, and a single filling of ink can record a lot.
It’s just that pens are expensive to make, but brush calligraphy is still the mainstream. Their current calligraphy is because Wang Xi has been practicing calligraphy consciously since he was a child. His calligraphy is pretty good, but he can’t compare with the children of these wealthy families.
Not to mention those who come from ordinary people's families, they can't even say how good they are at hard-pen calligraphy, but brush calligraphy... if you take it out, you will probably laugh to death.
They can't even write the most basic calligraphy skills of a literati, and don't even talk about the other six arts of a gentleman, such as piano, chess, and painting. They are still far behind in these aspects.
Although these things do not have much to do with managing the court and handling government affairs, it is not accurate to say that they have no impact at all.
There are some things that you must know if you want to achieve greater success.
At least that's what Wang Xi thinks. The current Tang Dynasty cannot lack these things.
And he also told some of his colleagues similar things. Since everyone has a common goal, they must help each other.
It may be too late for these colleagues to learn other things, but calligraphy must be practiced well, and Wang Xi also passed on to them his own method of practicing calligraphy. If there is no ink, just buy some ordinary brushes and add water directly. Written on a slate.
Although I finish writing very quickly, at least there is no problem in practicing calligraphy. After practicing for an hour every day, in four months, my handwriting will be able to be barely readable, which is much better than now.
Although no one of these newly promoted officials expressed anything, they all began to practice more silently. Many people adopted Wang Xi's opinions. Although they all came from ordinary people, they would always be affected by living in this society. of.
For example, the word is a person's appearance, especially if they are all officials, the word should not be ugly. They are all influenced by this concept, so of course they need to practice more.
Wang Xi and others began to work hard silently, while the elite disciples from powerful families were just as Li Ke expected, and they were all secretly gritting their teeth!
After all, since the national unified examination ended last year and these newly promoted officials showed an unprecedented level of excellence in their work, the entire Tang Dynasty has been talking about everything.
They usually go out to play, and generally speaking, they always put their eyes above their heads. But now when they go out to play, they encounter a lot of people who laugh at them, and the other people make fun of them easily.
Aren't you amazing? But it seems that your results in the unified examination were not very outstanding, and after the imperial examination every year in the past, your performance did not seem to be as praised as the collective praise of these new officials above the court.
You must know that those husbands all come from wealthy families.
Don't you find it embarrassing?
This... they really can't refute, because they want to prove that they have no chance. The prerequisite for proving themselves is that you have to be an official like others.
You're not even an official, and you're talking about your mother here.
People who ridicule them are naturally not good-tempered. It's okay for them to reply harshly, "I'll fuck you," but they will be ridiculed even more after they reply, and they will still be angry with themselves.
No return? I still held my breath in my heart.
Now, when the opportunity comes, these people must be taught a lesson, and they must know what elites are!
So almost all of these people who were going to take the imperial examination went home and started studying like crazy. They not only studied the subjects they traditionally studied, but they also studied the things taught in Li Ke's school.
Although they are arrogant, they are not stupid. Since it was promoted by His Highness and His Highness's influence in the Tang Dynasty, of course they had to learn from what His Highness promoted.
What's more, how to convince these people? It’s just to let them know that it’s not just that they don’t understand that we understand, even if they do understand, we also understand, and we are stronger than them! This is the key!
If a person holds his breath, especially when a proud person is forced to act violently, the power that bursts out will really make everyone look at him.
Wu Xu was the first to feel this, because after His Highness's article was published in the newspaper, Wu Xu, who was responsible for the entire Datang Evernight City, saw a continuous decline in the number of people in Datang Evernight City in the following days. Consumption has also plummeted.
In just four days, the revenue of Datang Evernight City plummeted by nearly 40%!
Seeing this plummeting figure, Wu Xu was astonished. It was his husband who was really powerful. Just after posting an article, these literati went back to work.
But...how long can they hold on?
Can they prove their own strength? Wu Xu didn't know. As for the plummeting income of Datang Evernight City, she didn't worry about it at all, because the money belonged to Datang Evernight City and His Highness.
The atmosphere in Datang became heated again because of Li Ke's move, and everyone's attention in the entire Datang was attracted.
However, some things are always destined to happen, such as the southern border far away in the Tang Dynasty.
