In the State of Wei, the capital city is Anyi, in the Qixian Hall.

As more and more scholars flew towards the Wei State like snowflakes, the Wei Guoxian Hall became more and more lively at this moment.

These knowledgeable people from all over the world gathered here, either discussing with each other and expressing their feelings; or chatting and overlooking the world.

For a while, in the long speeches of these scholars, I could hear a bit of the atmosphere of an important meeting.

However, as the number of scholars continued to increase and time passed day by day, some worries inevitably appeared among everyone.

This time the Wei State issued the "Order to Seek Talents" to the world, and its sincerity in seeking talents cannot be said to be insufficient;

The construction of a Qixian Pavilion specifically for scholars to live in Anyi City was not an unreasonable one.

It's just that although the State of Wei provided them with the best conditions and the food and clothing were very considerate, they didn't come to the State of Wei because of these.

What they look forward to in their hearts is to be able to display their ambitions, and they have the ambition to use their talents and knowledge to help the Wei State become more prosperous.

Nowadays, Wei's hospitality is indeed considerate enough, but there is no sign of any arrangements for them. How can this make these scholars who have come all the way to Wei feel at ease?

Just when these scholars began to worry, a loud trumpet sound appeared in their ears.

"The Prime Minister has arrived..."

When they realized that this signal meant who the incoming person was, the scholars who were either discussing or meditating immediately dropped everything and focused their attention on the incoming person.

After a few breaths, the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Qi, dressed in red official uniform, walked step by step to the center of the hall and stood in front of a group of scholars in the Hall of Seeking Talents.

"Gongsun Qi, I have met all the scholars."

"I'll wait to see the Prime Minister."

After greeting him and slowly standing up, Gongsun Qi's eyes slowly swept over the group of scholars beside him.

After seeing everyone's figures one by one, Gongsun Qi said to everyone with a smile on his lips: "The reason why I came here today is to make an announcement to all the scholars on the order of your Majesty.

one thing."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Qi shouted toward the door while facing the somewhat puzzled looks of the surrounding scholars.

"Someone, bring it up."

"Here."

A sound of greeting came from outside the door, and then several burly warriors were seen slowly entering the hall carrying five wooden boxes.

"boom……"

Following a slightly dull loud noise, the five boxes were dropped heavily to the ground, and the attention of all the scholars in the room was also focused on them at this time.

Because of the appearance of these five boxes containing unknown items, the curiosity that had arisen in the hearts of all the scholars became more and more intense.

However, the curiosity in their hearts did not last long. Gongsun Qi's eyes lightly scanned the boxes, and an ordering voice rang out.

"Open."

"Follow orders."

Following Gongsun Qi's order, the warriors who had just carried the wooden boxes in gently leaned over, and these slightly mysterious boxes were opened.

Just when the surrounding scholars were trying to see what was in these boxes with curious eyes, Gongsun Qi slowly walked to one of the boxes.

I saw him gently bend down and stretch out his right hand, and gently picked up something from the box under the gaze of everyone.

Looking closely at Gongsun Qi's right hand and narrowing his eyes slightly, these scholars quickly saw clearly what the other person was holding.

To be honest, the scholars present were not unfamiliar with this thing, but they rarely used it. The most common ones they used were bamboo slips that were much heavier than it.

That's right, what Gongsun Qi is holding in his hand at this moment is not something else, but a piece of silk specially used for writing.

If we look at the weight alone, silk is too light compared to bamboo slips, but the price is also very different.

It is precisely because silk is too expensive that they are reluctant to use it on daily basis. At most, they only use silk to write on extremely important occasions.

Holding the scroll in his right hand, he looked at the faces of the scholars around him one by one. After taking in the expressions on their faces, Gongsun Qi knew that the suggestion he made to Wei Feng was indeed very important.

correct.

In fact, at first Wei Feng planned to send out blank bamboo slips, but after some thought, Gongsun Qi proposed to replace the bamboo slips with more expensive silk.

Precisely because silk is expensive, the act of distributing it to scholars from various countries can highlight the importance that the Wei State attaches to talented people.

With this thought in his mind, Gongsun Qi said to everyone: "Everyone who comes to our country, Wei, must be here to show off their talents."

"You can't tell whether someone is talented or not in just a few words. This is something that everyone in the Wei Kingdom has been worrying about."

"Fortunately, your Majesty is wise and wise. After some thought, I came up with a way for you to show off your talents."

When he said this, Gongsun Qi slowly raised the silk in his hand above his head to better display it in front of all the scholars.

"Gentlemen, please see, this is the silk that I took from the Shaofu under the orders of the emperor. Writing with this material is not only very light, but also the handwriting is clear."

"All the scholars in office should be knowledgeable people. In this case, why not write down everything you have learned in your mind."

"It is not limited to the analysis of the situation in the world, nor to the praise or criticism of the pros and cons of Wei State. Even if it is to write down one's own strengths, it is very appropriate."

"When you scholars write down what you have learned in your mind, I will present these silk books for reading, so that your talents can be better displayed in front of your Majesty."

"Isn't this a good thing for you gentlemen?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After listening to Gongsun Qi’s words silently, and looking at the roll of silk that he was almost reluctant to use on weekdays, the hearts of the scholars present immediately felt like

Somewhat agreed.

As Gongsun Qi said, just a few words can't really show your talent. It's better to write down your thoughts.

If your article is noticed by the Marquis of Wei, then you can fly to the top and show your talents to your heart's content.

Thinking of this, one of the scholars present stood up from his seat, and then saw him step by step in front of Gongsun Qi.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true. I am willing to listen to my teachings and write down what I have learned in my mind for the reading of the Marquis of Wei." After bowing to Gongsun Qi, the scholar said in a deep voice.

Looking at the figure in front of him, the smile on Gongsun Qi's lips became brighter. He gently leaned over and took another roll of silk from the wooden box.

"It's really best if you can think like this." After finishing speaking, Gongsun Qi handed the two volumes of silk in his hand to him, "These are two volumes of silk, one of which you can use to write down your long-term plans.

As for the other volume..."

The eyes slowly connected with the other party, and Gongsun Qi's face showed a bit of gentleness, "You can decide how to deal with it yourself."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Hearing what Gongsun Qi said to this scholar, the other scholars immediately burst into an uproar, and then had to sigh at the grandeur of the Wei state.

The silk used for writing was very expensive for most of them, but now Wei State directly sent a scroll. How could this not make them amazed?

There were Gongsun Qi's words before, and then there were the temptations of silk. Suddenly, more and more scholars chose to stand up.

"As a tribute to the Prime Minister, I am also willing to write down what I have learned in my heart."

"I would like to report it to the Prime Minister. Please give me the next share."

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister, and so will I."

…

Accompanied by a series of excited figures filled with expectation, the five boxes brought by Gongsun Qi were quickly taken away.

After the scholars who had received the silk thanked Gongsun Qi, some chose to go back to their rooms alone, while others gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.

Looking at the lively scene in his sight, and then looking at the five empty boxes beside him, the smile on Gongsun Qi's face was extremely bright.

…

"Bang bang bang..."

Along with a knock on the door, a voice of inquiry rang out from a room in the Qixian Hall.

"Who?"

"Brother Sun, it's me."

After hearing the identity of the person from his voice, the door to the room was opened with the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

Looking at the man standing outside the door, Uncle Sun, the owner of the room, immediately showed a trace of confusion on his face.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

When he heard Sun Boling in front of him, Xu Yan, whom he called Brother Xu outside the door, gently raised a roll of silk in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Isn't it because I don't know how to write, so I came to ask Brother Sun for advice?" After saying these words, Xu Yan's face immediately showed a look of inquiry.

"I wonder if Brother Sun can give me some advice?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I happen to be thinking about this matter as well. How about we come in and discuss it together?"

Sun Boling still has a very good impression of Xu Yan.

Firstly, they are both from Qi State, so they are naturally close to each other; secondly, Xu Yan is also very talented, and Sun Boling has quite a good rapport with him.

After going back and forth like this, the relationship between the two seemed to be quite harmonious, which is why Xu Yan came to look for Sun Boling today.

"Thank you so much, Brother Sun."

Outside the door, when he heard Sun Boling agreeing to his request, he quickly thanked her and quickly entered the room.
