According to what the Dibao said, the ballot boxes must be set at the gates of the government offices of all prefectures, prefectures and counties in the world. The ballot boxes must be hung for ten days, and they must enter and not be released. The students must vote in person. Ten days later, all ballot boxes must be sealed and then sent to the capital through emergency delivery shops, and then the vote counting work will be carried out jointly by the Hanlin Academy, together with the Censorate and the Sili Supervisor, and all candidates can appoint people to participate.

In this way, all possible cheating can be eliminated.

Of course, many rumors have also spread that from Jiangnan, officials reported to impeach Taibai Poetry Society to buy votes, saying that it was because of some places, and even directly took the money to buy tickets for some poor scholars. This kind of thing needs to be verified, but the problem is that it is not easy to verify it. Taibai reported naturally to fight back, believing that Taibai Poetry Society is a matter of course to help scholars, so where did you buy tickets?

The two sides had a quarrel for a while and could not get into a relationship.

But everyone knows that these are all details and cannot affect the entire public recommendation. Now everyone is waiting with their breath, while Taibai Daily has begun to publish a public opinion investigation. Among them, Wang Hua accounts for 40% of the supporters investigated, but Fei Hong has led Wang Hua with a slight advantage, and won 41% of the votes. The most surprising thing is that Li Dongyang, who was known as the sure-win, ranked third in the votes.

Fei Hong was actually slightly ahead, and for a moment, the capital was in an uproar again.

The public opinion survey of the Shibao newspaper was almost the same, but Wang Hua accounted for 42%, while Fei Hong ranked second, only 38%, and poor Li Dongyang only 20%.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused storm.

When Zhao Juren saw the newspaper, he had an unknown premonition. He rushed to the teahouse anxiously and called out to many students: "Everyone, everyone, this time, the prince has great hope. If the prince is really made the chief minister, the Ming Dynasty will be over."

Speaking of this, Zhao Juren even looked heartbroken, and then said excitedly: "Now, you can only pay the premiums with all your strength, and you must pay the premiums. Otherwise, the disaster will be in front of you."

In fact, there are many people who hold this idea. On the last day before the official public recommendation the next day, Lianshibao began to call for abandoning Li’s premium. Otherwise, it would be almost the same as funding Wang Hua.

As a result, the call for abandoning Li’s premium became increasingly high.

In fact, anti-Shanghai scholars have been divided. Although the basic base is much larger than Wang Hua, if everyone only votes for one person, Wang Hua is destined to have no hope. But the problem is that Mr. Li's increasing reputation has caused many students to shake their confidence. The current public opinion has generally revealed their ideas, and it seems that there is only insurance premiums.

This appeal was spread wildly, and naturally, Li Dongyang's disciples and former officials began to stand up and shouted loudly that all this was Wang Hua's frame-up. Everyone needs to keep their hearts and support Li Gong. At this time, the anti-Shanghai students began to be at a loss. At first, they attacked Wang Hua in a verbal way, but now they are rebelling. Those who abandoned Li premiums denounced Li and disregarded Li against the overall situation, while those who protect Li scolded them for being trapped by the enemy.

So, a situation emerged, the bayonet was red in the face and the fight was red in the face. Even in the Imperial College, two doctors who were both anti-Shanghai actually fought directly in front of all living beings.

This panic and helpless mood began to spread, increasing the worries of conservatives. In the countryside, in tea shops, restaurants, brothels, academies, clubs, and everything they could be, under this inexplicable anxiety, everyone began to become hysterical, and there were constant criticisms of each other, and the Shilin was in chaos and all kinds of calls.

However, public recommendation is about to be announced, and when locked wooden boxes hang in the streets and alleys, the whole world is already feeling like a storm is coming.

The Taibai Newspaper's supporters were happy and relaxed. They quickly became famous and began to throw the person they chose into the box.

They have always been the most loyal supporters to Wang Hua, and of course they are happy to see these anti-business conservatives attacking and accusing each other. In the past, they were beaten up and fought with others and blushed, but now, they suddenly find that they don’t know when they started, as if they were completely isolated from these disputes.

And in the New Army camp far away outside the pass, it was a different scene. As soon as the boxes were hung at the gate, the new army students lined up in a long queue under the leadership of the team officer, holding the ticket papers that had been prepared in their hands, putting them into the boxes one by one without any thought, and no need to weigh the pros and cons. One call, one voice, choose the same person.

In some remote counties with poor mountains and bad waters, it is obviously completely different. Taibai Poetry Club has set up tea stalls at various voting locations and prepared pastries for the students to eat and drink. The heads of the local Taibai Poetry Club greet people with smiles. No matter who you vote, it doesn’t matter, I don’t care. Come, eat tea before leaving, whether you are hungry, or not, the hot steamed cakes are delivered to you.

There are some scholars from poor families who have already prepared their cars and horses because of the inconvenience of travel. They went to pick people up early in the morning. There is no need to ask what choices you made. Everyone is friends. This is the right thing to do. I sent you to the yamen and voted. Oh, don’t rush back today. This public recommendation is a great favor for our scholars. So in order to celebrate the success of the first public recommendation, the poetry club set up a opera troupe in Dongcheng, the county tonight. We must come. There are banquets, lights and lights at night. They are all scholars. The position can be different, and it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is to rely on friends when going out, and there are multiple friends and multiple roads.

Occasionally, these social workers would chat with the students for a few words, but the basis of all conversations was trained in advance, and it was nothing more than indirect and saying some good words from princes and princes, which would not be too obvious.

These people who are rooted in prefectures and counties are scholars themselves and have many topics to talk about each other.

They assisted the county school in the county, and even prepared some articles for scholars preparing for the exam, providing assistance to some students who were taking the exam. Gradually, they had already gained a lot of connections.

Although these connections cannot completely reverse the inherent concepts of students, there will be a large number of people who will make changes to them.
