Zhang Fei still didn't quite understand Zhao Xu's complaints.

As everyone knows, there are no big things in industry and commerce, and there are no small things in literati.

No matter how big or small a businessman is, the ruler can ignore it, so he is just a businessman.

But once the literati started to care about it, no matter how small it was, it was still a big deal. Zhao Xu was also very scared and quickly made up for it, otherwise, something would happen.

This task naturally fell on Zhang Fei.

Because Zhao Xu didn't know how to do this.

However, there is still a legal difference between theoretical knowledge and actual inventions, especially since the Copyright Law has been enacted before and has been written into the "Provisional Law".

Without this method, how could Yan Jidao have made so much money for Di Newspaper Institute based on his stories? This is because in many places, no one dares to use pirated copies.

It is obviously inappropriate to use literati's articles for motivational purposes.

It can only be reflected in the form of rewards.

Zhang Fei suggested to Zhao Xu that we create a grand prize to fool, oh no, to appease these literati.

Moreover, you have to create a gimmick.

Academic articles on state governance are named Mencius Prize.

Naming this grand prize after an ancient saint is a gimmick.

The reason why Confucius is not used is because his status is too high and Zhang Fei is a little afraid to use it. However, Mencius's status began to rise significantly during the Song Dynasty, and he was highly praised by the literati of the Song Dynasty, whether it was Sima Guang,

Both Wang Anshi and Wang Anshi respected Mencius.

Because Mencius’ thoughts can effectively alleviate the current social conflicts in the Song Dynasty, and at the same time, Mencius’ emphasis on the relationship between monarch and ministers is also very consistent with the idea of ​​co-governing the world.

In Mencius's thought, the monarch treats his subordinates like his own brothers and feet, and the subordinates will treat the monarch as their own heart; the monarch treats his subordinates like dogs and horses, and the subordinates will treat the monarch as passers-by; the monarch will treat his subordinates like dirt and grass, and the subordinates will treat the monarch like

Like an enemy.

It is a two-way relationship. Many ministers in the Song Dynasty thought so. If the monarch is unhappy with me, I will not coax you. I will go back to my hometown to farm, and no one can do without the other.

Mencius' temple worship began in the fourth year of Jingyou's reign (1037) in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But it has not been deified yet. Naming it after Mencius will not offend but also adds weight.

Since there is a literary award, the military man cannot be left behind, otherwise, something may happen again. The key is that Zhao Xu attaches great importance to military development.

Therefore, the Taigong Award was established for academic articles on military aspects.

This grandpa is Jiang Taigong.

It will be evaluated jointly by all the scholars.

Reviewed every five years.

Then the emperor personally issued a reward---the bonus was 10,000 guan.

All in all, the cards are sufficient.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately detonated the literary world.

The literati were ecstatic!

Mencius Award.

Listen to that name...!

Incredible!

Moreover, it was the Zhuge Grand Master who made the assessment.

This is professionalism.

Moreover, the election only takes place once every five years, and the imperial examination only lasts three years, which shows how important this is.

With all these bonuses, this award immediately became the highest honor for literati.

emperor?

Even if the emperor didn't personally issue the decree, it doesn't matter. The emperor knows a lot about chickens, so he is just a mascot for awarding awards.

Scholars expressed great satisfaction with this.

One factor here is that the rise of the Imperial College has led to the gradual weakening of the imperial examination, and the imperial examination only involves young students, not all literati.

There has never been a stage for literati to discuss swordsmanship in Mount Huashan and compete for the best in the world.

Although there is no first place in literature, literati are very fond of competing for superiority. Especially the literati of the Song Dynasty were very good at this because the political environment was relatively tolerant. When Wang Anshi and Su Shi were young, they wrote articles every day to comment on current affairs and criticize.

Prime Minister.

This award comes at just the right time.

No one complains about incentives anymore.

The literati are all ready to take action and set this award as their ultimate goal.

Not long after the award was established, the first batch of winners were announced. These were actually appointed by Zhao Xu, the twin stars Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

The scholars in the cabinet did not refute this. After all, in the past ten years, the imperial court was their duo, and the current political structure was also established by the two of them.

This is all indisputable.

But the award was for the work, not the person, for the two articles they originally published in celebrity newspapers.

One is an article written by Wang Anshi on his New Deal philosophy. The main idea is that those who enrich their family will benefit the country, and those who enrich their country will benefit the world. If you want to enrich the world, you will benefit the world.

No matter what Wang Anshi thought at the time, it was almost the same as the current trend of national development.

The other article is about Sima Guang’s article on the Public Security Bureau.

The success of the Public Security Bureau is even more uncontroversial.

It definitely lives up to its name.

Zhao Xu was also quite satisfied with this.

But as soon as the news came out, these two people were immediately called dogs.

Are you worthy?

This is a literati.

Wen Wu is the first.

They cited articles by Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi and others. Take a look. Isn't this more beautiful than those two articles?

what.

Are the scholars of the various pavilions blind?

Or is there an inside story involved?

Zhao Xu expressed that he was tired.

What do you want?

Zhang Fei also hurriedly explained in the newspapers that the criterion for winning the award is that one must be creative. For example, no matter how good or correct the writing is, you will definitely not be able to win this award because it is just a policy, and

It is not a theory worth studying, and there must be sufficient evidence to prove its feasibility.

Don't scold me first, understand the rules clearly before talking.

.....

Three divisions.

"Although these three articles are not very good, they are always original and to the point. Good, good!"

Wang Anshi closed the newspaper, nodded with a smile and said: "This is how this award should be given. As for what Sima Junshi said before about recuperating and recuperating, who doesn't know? But it can't solve the problem at all, so this is how this award should be awarded."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xue Xiangdao: "But those people outside don't care at all, and they also slander Xianggong, saying that the key to the country's grand situation lies in the public prosecutor and the law, not because of Xianggong's new policies.

But the damn thing is, they turned their backs and scolded Sima Xianggong. I think they were just jealous."

"This is the nature of a scholar."

Wang Anshi laughed and asked again: "By the way, is there no one in the court who can defend me?"

Xue Xiang nodded and said, "Of course."

Wang Anshi said: "It is not popular to talk about it now, you have to publish an article."

"ah?"

Xue Xiang was stunned for a moment, "Don't my husband always care about these things?"

"I don't care, but the New Deal does." Wang Anshi said: "This award does not mean much to me personally, but it is an affirmation of my New Deal philosophy, which is crucial. If you want to continue the New Deal,

It must be recognized by more people.”

Xue Xiang nodded in deep agreement.

Without Wang Anshi's New Deal, he would not be where he is today. This concept is very important.

Wang Anshi said again: "No, they are still used to opening their mouths and not writing. In this way, you send someone to Di Newspaper Institute and ask Di Newspaper Institute to cooperate with each college to develop a newspaper for the college, specifically for the inside.
