Chapter 353 Wenquxing
Wu Haogu was able to transform into the dominant tycoon of the Song Dynasty's "entertainment circle" in such a short time, so he had his keen business acumen.
Because he knows a truth: when playing in the entertainment industry, you don’t have to sell your skills or behave yourself. As long as you can attract attention and reach the attention of everyone, you will have great commercial value.
In the Song Dynasty, the people's favorite thing was the "talented man and beautiful woman".
For Wu Haogu, the truly valuable beauty among the talented men and beautiful women is of course the female genius who was on the album of "The Courtesan". Although good women in these days are not locked up at home and are not allowed to go out, it is not OK to publish their photos on the album to sell them for money. Wu Haogu will be impeached to Yalong Bay to accompany Su Dongpo!
There are good and lowly beauties, but most talented men are from good families. Oh, there are also some bad talents, such as Fan Zhijin, who came from Liangshan like this! But they are not mainstream, and mainstream talents are all good families.
But even good talented men have great commercial value, good talented men have surpassed good beautiful women in this regard, because they can become the focus of everyone's attention, similar to the kind of Internet celebrities in later generations!
The title of the Golden List, the singing and selling outside the Donghua Gate, the banquet in Qionglin Garden, and the patrol of Kaifeng Prefecture... The gameplay is not much different from the talent show in later generations, and it also has an extra sense of supreme sacredness. The people and the people "kneel" (kneel in their thoughts) look up to these good talents!
They are idols, lovers in dreams, the best role models, the fascinating dream of the Song Dynasty, and the heroes praised by everyone!
So Wu Haogu was preparing to win the prize after the Ministry of Rites. Oh, all the talents who won the Jinshi were drawn, and then printed several albums of "Wenquxing" and sold them for more than four or five hundred famous Jinshi. One album would definitely not be printed, so Wu Haogu was preparing to print five copies and print one of them "One A".
He estimated that these five albums of "Wenquxing" could be sold for three years, and were sold throughout the Song Dynasty. Now, countless scholars in the Song Dynasty dream of being a Jinshi. They bought one book by themselves, and the market capacity of the entire Song Dynasty was at least millions of copies!
In addition, the nature of the album "Wenquxing" is different from that of the album "Huagua". "Wenquxing" can be "please issue the order", which is the main theme album of the Song Dynasty feudalism that emphasizes literature and neglects military. It can be taken the route of "issuing according to the order", so that you will not be afraid of others' pirated copies.
Moreover, Wu Haogu can also add their exam-taking articles and comments from famous scholars after the portraits of the "First A" and "First A" Jinshi. In this way, the album of "Wenquxing" will become a reference material for the imperial examination.
Of course, there are also "tricks" in the album of "Wenquxing"... The estimated circulation of millions of copies is! The "tricks" that are worth a lot! Moreover, the price of "tricks" cannot be compared with "The Courtesan", because it mainly targets poor people, and it is impossible to buy a picture album for hundreds of quotations. Therefore, the price of "Wenquxing" album must be less than 100 quotations, and "tricks" must be used to make up for the lack of income.
Finally, the album of "Wenquxing" may also evolve into a newspaper, or it may be called "Wenqubao". In short, it must be a big deal... Maybe it can also become the mouthpiece of the imperial examination and education reform in the Song Dynasty in the future!
In Wu Haogu's view, the failure of the Song Dynasty was actually the failure of the imperial examination and education, and it must be corrected!
...
If you fail, you will be successful!
Fan Zhijin, who had changed his name to Fan Jin, never expected that his enemy, the traitor, Wu Hao, would turn the most sacred career and imperial examination into a big deal that could earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars!
At this time, he was walking towards the expedition of Daming Mansion step by step with the most tragic mood.
For other students, the imperial examination is a long-term career that can "if you miss this time, you will work hard next time." For Fan Zhijin, who has already passed the thief, if he misses this time, he will only die... not only because he has passed the thief, but also because he now has no support from Yanggu Yimen Fan and his own industry, he is simply a scholar with nothing.
If you can't win, you have to go to Liangshan again to be a thief.
If you are unwilling to be a thief, you will have to starve to death...
Zhang Kegong is really a friend. He not only helped him get a written explanation, but also accompanied him to the residence of Zhang's generals in Daming Mansion. Today he accompanied him to the settlement of Daming Mansion.
Seeing his friend's tragic look, Zhang Kegong whispered and comforted: "Don't worry, the answer to Daming Mansion is not very difficult, you will definitely be able to pass it.
By the way, Mr. Han, who is aware of the affairs of Daming Mansion, is an old party figure. Don’t shout and kill in the policy of the policy.”
"I understand," Fan Zhijin nodded, "Brother Jie Zhong, don't worry, I will definitely win this subject!"
...
"Hey, the martial arts scene is not here, you are going wrong."
At this time, Fan Zhiwen was stopped outside the Yunzhou Jiechang because he was holding his Black Cloud Sword! He didn't look like a scholar, but a swordsman.
Of course, Kaowenju cannot bring a sword, and even if you take a martial arts exam, you don’t have to bring a sword. Because the martial arts exam in the Song Dynasty did not take the exam for slashing people, even the horse rifles and long-distance archery that military officers often used when they went to the battlefield were not tested. Even close-range step shooting and riding and shooting at the cavalry once, no matter whether they hit the target or not, as long as they could pull a step bow with one stone and one bucket, they would be considered the first place to shoot a horse seven bucket. The requirements are very low, and even the current martial arts ancients can pass.
It was not until the fourth year of Shaosheng (1097) that the martial arts archery in the Song Dynasty paid attention to the target and did not know what the use of archery was to hit the target. Is it a route covered by firepower? But it is not necessary to shoot continuously.
Of course, generals who can't use horse and rifle and cannot shoot arrows do not mean they cannot win the battle (this is Sima Guang's point of view), so the martial arts of the Song Dynasty mainly examined military tactics and strategies.
However, Fan Zhiwen only pretended to be a sword. He did not know martial arts skills, and he would not take the martial arts exam. Because martial arts practice is very expensive for the Yimen Farmer family. Although he doesn't take the horse rifle now, he still has to take the riding and shooting exam, and he also has to hit the target! It is already difficult to not fall off on the back of a running horse. He is already a master who can barely pull a bow, and he still has to shoot...
How could a playboy who is skilled in archery every day can get the slightest shot?
Therefore, after the reform of the martial arts in the fourth year of Shaosheng (the archery must be shot) came out, many poor scholars had cut off the path of rising through martial arts.
Fortunately, you don’t need to ride a horse and shoot arrows in the exam, otherwise a poor Jinshi like Fan Zhiwen and Fan Zhijin would not have the chance to pass the imperial examination and enter the officialdom.
After handing over the Black Cloud Sword to one of his servants, Fan Zhiwen carried the bookcase and walked towards the Yunzhou Jiefang with a meteor.
...
"Chongyi, take the exam well! First take the Jieyuan of Kaifeng Prefecture, and then the great champion of the world!"
Wu Haowen is also standing at the Jiechang Gate of Kaifeng Prefecture, preparing to face the "third exam" of life.
That's right, Wu Haowen is preparing to take the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination exam! Although he, a student, is qualified to be exempted from the answer, he can still take the answer exam if he wants to take the answer exam.
Unlike the enviable situation of "sending students to send students" in later generations, the Song people are the most fair in the examination room. Non-solving is not a glorious thing, even if it is too high for students to get an juren. Only by taking a juren with his ability is the result of a real man.
Wu Haowen is really good at taking the exam. His Kaifeng Prefecture students and Imperial College students were both able to get the exam... Although his parents have many ways to get the exam, they are actually the same. Because Wu Haowen's articles are really good! They are so talented and have a passionate writing.
For a talented man like him, the play-off is the stage for his performance! The first exam for the Fa-school makes him the pride in his family; the second exam for the Taixue makes him a talented man who is eye-catching; now the third exam for the Tri-school makes him a success is certain, but the question now is, who can be ranked in the exam?
If he can win the Jie Yuan of Kaifeng Prefecture, he will not only win the Jinshi, but also "ordered" Han Zhongyan's granddaughter before the Spring Festival Competition.
By then, it will be a gold medal, a wedding banquet, and a happy couple will be here!
"Dad, don't worry!" Wu Haowen turned around and took his father seriously, "The child will definitely be able to do well in the exam!
A child in this subject will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination in high school!”
...
"This time, the first one is always listed!"
Ji Yi was talking to himself. He was already sitting in the examination room, but it was not Kaifeng Prefecture, but in the examination room of the Imperial College. Because he is now an official, he cannot participate in the ordinary examination, so he can only participate in the hall lock test. The hall lock test is a type of examination, which was originally a test room specially set up for the children of examiners and local officials, relatives and even guests to take the exam. The examiners and local officials must avoid it.
By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, all localities had a transfer envoy to preside over the test, so it was also called the grain test. Kaifeng Prefecture was an exception, and the Imperial College was presided over the test. In Kaifeng Prefecture, in addition to the examiners and local officials, there were also noble children and foreigners.
The officials' hall lock test was included in the second year of Baoyuan (1039). They were taken from the Imperial College in Beijing, and outside the Transportation Department's No. 1 exam.
In other words, it is impossible for Wu Haogu to pass the lock hall test in the second year of Yuanfu. Because it is very difficult to cheat in the Imperial College. But three years later, if Zhang Shangying was still on the Hebei East Road Transportation Commander and Wu Haogu was still on the Jiehe Shibo Department, then the Hebei East Road Garage Test could open the back door...
