"You could just follow our example and start a newspaper in your village."
"Is it not necessary to come to Jingzhou?"
Ming Lou also nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Yuanzi, what is the motivation that drives them to come to Jingzhou to fight and struggle?"
"You know, staying in my hometown, with the support of my family, is like a fish in water."
"Why would you abandon your family and run off to a place where you don't know anyone?"
"What benefits can they gain by leaving their homes?"
Qin Yuan grinned, "It's simple, the imperial examination."
"Imperial Examination?" Ming Lou and Ming Zhanxue were even more confused.
How does this relate to the imperial examination?
Even officials in Beijing have quotas and qualifications for "escort", but most of those who leave their hometowns in the hope of gaining the favor of dignitaries are children from poor families.
For the aristocratic families, there is basically no temptation.
Because it is extremely easy for them to stand out among the local tribute students.
The two of them had no idea what Qin Yuan meant.
Qin Yuan looked at the two people's confused expressions, lowered his voice and said softly: "It would be better to use the imperial examination to attract them."
"For example, announce the examiner candidates one to six months in advance."
Um?
Ming Zhanxue raised her eyebrows and confirmed again: "Husband, are you saying that the candidates for the chief examiner of the imperial examination should be announced in advance?"
Qin Yuan affirmed: "That's right, my lady."
"But, doesn't this encourage favoritism and corruption?" Ming Zhanxue asked in confusion.
Usually, the chief examiners of the imperial examinations are selected on a temporary basis just before the examination.
This is to avoid favoritism and fraud.
But if you announce it in advance now, wouldn't that give these people the opportunity to abuse their power for personal gain and commit fraud, and indirectly encourage an atmosphere of cheating? This is not fair at all to those poor students who have studied hard.
"Nonsense!" Minglou shook his head and immediately rejected the proposal.
"If this happens, won't the imperial court be controlled by the aristocratic families again?"
"The structure that Prime Minister Zhang worked so hard to build has all been destroyed in an instant."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Minglou regretted it.
This is not Qin Yuan's style.
This guy never fights a battle without confidence.
How could such a ridiculous idea come out of his mouth?
Could it be that there is some mystery behind this?
But……
That doesn't make sense!
Retracing the old path of history, the more we struggle, the further we go back. What mystery could there be?
What is the connection between announcing the examiner's choice in advance and allowing children from aristocratic families to come to Beijing in large numbers?
Ming Lou and Ming Zhanxue looked at each other, completely confused and unable to understand what was going on.
This operation is even more bizarre than mixing rice bran with sand for disaster relief!
What on earth does this kid want to do?
