Tang Sufan pretended to think and pondered slightly, then turned his eyes and looked at Li Shimin.
"Lao Li, do you know how risky it is for just the two of us to do this? Making money is a trivial matter——"
Li Shimin patted his chest. He looked like a man of great righteousness, a man of heroic spirit, a man who served the country and the people, and was willing to die for literature...
"Don't worry, the Holy One will definitely help you get the endorsement from the government. I will pave the way for you, so that you can sleep peacefully and print books with peace of mind, just for... we and other aspiring people , I can contribute to the scholars in this world!"
Immediately, Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows jokingly: "Okay, may I ask how many members you, an aspiring person, want to occupy~"
Li Shimin's righteous look suddenly shrank back, and then he looked at Tang Sufan seriously, and quickly stretched out four fingers.
"Four percent……"
Tang Sufan:. . . . . . .
And what about people with lofty ideals? Whose people with lofty ideals gave a passionate speech just now, but are afraid of losing points the next second?
Seeing Tang Sufan's speechless look, he thought that this boy would not agree, so Li Shimin said quickly.
"What worries do you have, kid? Don't worry. Over at the court, I will tell you that if something happens, I will come forward for you and ask for a shop. I will prepare it for you! Isn't X's 40% share too much?"
Tang Sufan's mouth twitched, but he still didn't speak.
This old Li...
"Ahem, 30%, no less, otherwise I will run in and out for you. For what reason? Even brothers will settle accounts clearly. Even if you and I are a family in the future, ahem, business is business. Ah, I can’t get along~”
Li Shimin immediately took a step back with some pain.
He didn't know that in terms of just making money, although this business was not as violent as brewing, it was better in quantity. Putting aside the obstruction of the aristocratic family, it was definitely a good business with huge profits.
Until now, I have to trick this kid into making money only if he is willing to do it~
In the end, Tang Sufan put away his bored look and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, 40% makes 40%. Who told you to be my future husband?"
The word "father-in-law" seems to bite a bit hard.
Li Shimin's eyes widened, why is this boy so grand today?
And you haven't said anything weird yet?
Have you changed your temper today?
But he quickly nodded with satisfaction and promised that he would run beautifully.
Finally, it was agreed upon that he would go and talk to the 'Emperor'; he would provide the shops that Chang'an City wanted.
When the family's attention comes, he will block it with the official endorsement, and he will not put this kid at any risk.
Tang Sufan then slowly agreed to make paper and print.
Cheng Yaojin, who saw the two of them discussing a business that could make money while lying down, was so depressed that he felt uncomfortable...
Happiness belongs to others~
The gluttony is all his~
It would be great if I had a daughter as beautiful as a flower...
Gao Di directly tied this boy back as his son-in-law~
Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Shimin and Tang Sufan made a preliminary agreement on the papermaking workshop.
"Su Fan, I still have some classics and history books annotated by great scholars in my study. I will send them to you when the time comes, and you can print them out. If it's not enough, I'm thinking of a way!"
But immediately, Li Shimin asked: "By the way, the papermaking and engraving printing techniques you just mentioned...are they your master's secret skills?"
"Ahem, so be it~"
"Oh~ I see..."
Li Shimin nodded with "sudden understanding". No wonder it is like this. I am afraid that only immortals can have such magical means~
But Li Shimin thought about it and decided to forget it for now. Later, he would see if he could discuss this technology with this guy. For now, let’s settle the current matters.
"Then what's the point of reforming the imperial examination?"
Tang Sufan raised his eyes and asked: "I heard that the imperial examination is divided into regular subjects and system subjects?"
"You kid don't know?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. This kid didn't know this.
"Tch, I don't want to take these exams. It's useless and affects my ability to make money..."
Li Shimin's face darkened. The imperial examination was actually useless in the eyes of this boy.
This is common knowledge that every literate person on the street knows, but you, the 'Little Poet Fairy' from Chang'an City, don't even bother to understand it?
What an infuriating thing!
However, Li Shimin still explained to Tang Sufan: "The imperial examinations in our dynasty are divided into two categories: regular subjects and system subjects. Regular subjects are held every year, and system subjects are subjects temporarily set by the emperor. Candidates of regular subjects include students, disciples and rural tributes."
"There are many regular subjects, which are divided into subjects such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingshu, and Mingshu according to the qualifications of the candidates and the examination content."
"Shengtu is a student who has passed the entrance examination in Guozijian (Guozixue, Hongwen Hall, Chongwen Hall) and various schools. Xianggong is a person who has passed the government examination and state examination. Jieyuan.”
"Those who pass the provincial examination of the imperial court's ministerial affairs department are called Jinshi and No. 1, and those who come first in the examination are called Zhuangyuan, and the rest are divided into A and B. In addition to the regular examinations every year, there are also temporary imperial examinations presided over by the Holy Master from time to time. , called Zhike."
Later, Li Shimin went into more detail, including functions, selection methods, etc.
Tang Sufan was confused when he heard it, but he barely understood the meaning.
Cheng Yaojin was leaning on his chair and almost snoring.
In the past, history books only said that the imperial examination required testing the Four Books and Five Classics and writing articles. He really didn't know what the specific tests were.
Tang Sufan paused for a while and then said confusedly: "You just went to pretend that the scholar was an official, so you didn't have to recite the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Well, it stands to reason..."
"Isn't this nonsense?"
Then Tang Sufan sat up slightly.
"Old Li, what do you think these officials in the imperial court think? Why don't they take the martial arts law test in the provincial examination that allows you to become a county magistrate? How will they judge the case then?"
"If you don't even understand the laws, how can you possibly listen to the dog-headed master every day? Maybe it will lead to an unjust, false, and wrongful conviction. What will happen if things continue like this?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. He stopped drinking wine and thought about it carefully. Yes, why can't he take another exam on Wushu ethics?
According to what this kid said, that's right.
The vast majority of the current Jinshi are waiting to fill their vacancies, but the county magistrate is the one who fills the most vacancies.
But the biggest role of a county magistrate in the local area is to judge cases. But can a county magistrate who has never studied or taken the martial law test really not judge the wrong case?
Does the Ministry of Punishment have to send people to investigate the case? How much manpower and material resources will be spent? Why can't I take another exam in the future?
The reason why there was no inspection regulations before was that the regulations were complicated and the books were expensive.
Therefore, the laws and orders were passed down from the Ministry of Punishment, and there was no way to expand the scale of talents.
But things are different now. If the book this guy mentioned could really be so cheap...
The money I spent on one book in the past can probably buy all the books I need now, so why not learn one more subject?
Whatever talent you want, you can take the test directly through book printing and sales in the future!
For a moment, Li Shimin seemed to see a different side of a court talent from Tang Sufan's papermaking technology!
The more I think about it, the harder it is to describe its mystery!
If it’s done, we’ll discuss it with someone later, and we’ll start trying to get it next year!
"Yes, this law is indeed worthy of scientific examination~"
Li Shimin murmured while thinking.
