Chapter 217 Proposal

As King Kang stood up, everyone in the Accord stood up one after another, and their eyes looked over.

The people who can make His Highness Kang wait are also very curious

Among the two people who pushed the door open, the person on the left was familiar with him. Mr. Xiao Jue, Xiao Xiao, was already a celebrity in the capital before this imperial examination. Mr. Xiao Xiao went to the brothel, and everyone knew about him.

But what made him really famous was another matter

Xiao Jue was born into a general and was a famous playboy in the capital. He actually won the first place in this palace examination. This is something that has not happened since the founding of the Chen Kingdom.

He became the commander of the Yulin in one fell swoop, and even Lu Teng, who is known as the most promising son of the general, is not as good as him.

All of the people here come from the powerful and powerful family in the capital. These days, they have been compared by elders and Xiao Jue. After hearing his name, they have long heard his ears calluses.

However, the Xiao family used to be low-key and never involved in party disputes. However, I don’t know if Mr. Xiao’s participation in King Kang’s banquet indicates something…

These thoughts flashed through everyone's hearts and soon turned their attention to another person

This person is as young as Xiao Jue, but he looks extremely handsome and has never seen him before

There were only a few people with a sudden look on their faces

Tang Ning pushed the door open, bowed to King Kang, and said: Some things have been delayed on the road, I hope your highness will not blame him.

How could we blame it? King Kang smiled and said: What's more, the agreed time has not come, so we have come too early

He looked at Tang Ning, faced everyone and said: Let me introduce to you, this is the top scorer in the palace examination this time. Tang Ning, his father has appointed him as the Hanlin editor. From now on, everyone will call him Lord Tang.

After being introduced by King Kang, everyone suddenly realized

Although they have never seen the top scholar, everyone has heard his name

One of the top scorers in the palace examination will be produced every three years. It is not surprising that everyone here may not take them seriously, but this year's top scorer is different from previous years.

The most different thing is his identity. The abandoned son of the Tang family more than ten years ago, now Yu Yue Leaps Longmen, the top scholar in high school, and has also separated from the Tang family and was shocked to his chin.

The Tang family is a wealthy family in the capital, and is the largest force held in the hands of King Duan, who is hostile to King Kang. The actions of the Tang family more than ten years ago directly pushed the top scholar to King Kang.

And this person did not disappoint His Highness Kang.

The case some time ago not only greatly affected the face of the Tang family and Duan Wang, but also indirectly affected the confrontation between King Kang and Duan Wang, causing King Duan to pay the price of a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This was a rare victory for His Highness Kang in the match against King Duan.

The new top scorer Tang Ning is the source of this matter

King Kang picked up the wine glass and smiled: Tonight, I mainly want to introduce Lord Tang to you. I will not talk about miscellaneous things, so everyone can enjoy the fun!

Come on, Lord Tang, I'll give you a cup

I'll also pay a cup to Lord Tang

You have so many people, aren’t you bullying others? Lord Tang, just ignore them, just be willing to say so...

……

King Kang held a banquet because of Tang Ning, so he naturally regarded it as his own. Everyone was enthusiastic about him.

Tang Ning also showed no resistance. Judging from the current situation, the emperor was either Duan or Kang. It was not the turn of the little fat man Run, so he had only one choice.

Although they were the Minister of Revenue this time, the Tang family faction had a lot of foundation in the court and could not shake them at all...

There is nothing we can do about this. The Tang family has been in charge of the imperial examination for many years and has a great influence in the officialdom. How many of the officials in the court have entered the officialdom through the imperial examination? Who knows how much they have accumulated over the years?

If Your Highness can win the hearts of scholars all over the world, great things can be accomplished

It’s easy to say, but for no reason, how can an official return home?

……

Although King Kang made it clear from the beginning that he would not talk about errands today, after everyone drank a few glasses of wine, the topic was naturally inseparable from the dispute between the two kings.

The supporters of King Kang and King Duan are obvious two camps

King Duan could not compete for the real powerful people in Beijing. King Kang had limited influence in the civil service system, and he had no prestige or achievements in the ranks of the people. The two of them fought over and over again, and nothing changed at all.

King Kang drank a glass of wine and sighed: How easy is it to get the support of those scholars?

Tang Ning thought about it, put down his wine glass, and said: Your Highness, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and nothing can be accomplished overnight. If your Highness wants to return home, you might as well get some support from some people first...

Xiao Jue just picked up a bite of the dish, and the chopsticks trembled, and it fell down again

Based on his understanding of Tang Ning, he would not do anything that would not be good for him, nor would he be kind enough to give advice on King Kang who was not close to him.

King Kang was stunned, looked at Tang Ning and said: I wish to hear the top scholar's opinion

No high opinion, it's just some simple opinion

Tang Ning looked at King Kang and asked: I wonder if your highness can tell that since the imperial examination is a way of glorifying the family and leaping at the dragon gate, everyone should yearn for it. Why are there so few scholars in the world?

King Kang thought for a while and said: The top scholar was once a poor student, so he would not know the reason. Although he was good at studying, this book was not something that everyone could afford to read.

It's exactly

Tang Ning nodded and said: Not to mention that the poor children cannot afford to pay Shu Xiu or buy books, even the many scholars in the world are short of money and cannot afford to buy a commentary on the meaning of the scriptures...

What's the use of saying this? King Kang shook his head and said: This king can neither help them buy books nor reduce the price of books...

Tang Ning looked at him and said patiently: As far as I know, many famous scholars of the world spent their entire lives writing books and biography, but were poor and poor. Many students spent a lot of money to buy books, but they just handed over the silver to pirated booksellers. The genuine bookstore was forced to have no way to survive and could only raise the price of books. In this way, no one could afford it.

King Kang was confused and said: What does Lord Tang have to say, "Let me just say it."

Tang Ning looked at him and said: Your Highness can urge the court to enact legislation and crack down on pirated booksellers. In this way, genuine bookstores will not be forced to raise the price of books in exchange for survival. The price of books will naturally be a good thing for scholars, and those famous scholars who write books will not be poor and will definitely be grateful to Your Highness.

King Kang was a little moved by what he said. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: My father said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. The laws and regulations should not be changed at will. This matter is difficult!

Tang Ning didn't expect that he had dug a hole for himself. After thinking about it, he said: If the court protects the authentic version and allows other booksellers to pay a certain fee, they can publish genuine books. Some of the fees will be returned to the authentic booksellers, and the other part will be repaid for the national treasury...

King Kang was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table suddenly and said: In this way, the father will definitely agree that the father likes money the most!

He thought carefully that this move not only won the gratitude of scholars, but also brought a profit to the treasury, but also won the favor of the father. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?

He looked at Tang Ning with a smile on his face and bowed: Thank you Lord Tang for your advice. If this matter can be accomplished, I will thank you very much!

Tang Ning smiled and said: Your Highness, you are polite. As a scholar, I have long wanted to do something for scholars in the world.

King Kang smiled at him and looked at Tang Ning with greater importance

During the meal, Tang Ning took the excuse of a small explanation and walked out of the Pavilion

Xiao Jue followed him and asked: What you said just now can really reduce the price of books. Why should you lower the price of books? Do you want to buy a lot of books?

Others Tang Ning didn't know that some of the words just now were nonsense, but if the imperial court really introduced copyright laws, their books in their bookshops would lower the price and take the path of small profits but quick turnover.

It seems not. Xiao Jue looked at him, shook his head, thought for a while, and then said: Is your family going to open a bookstore?
