    The "Yellow River Tourism Company" seems to have played a very important role in advertising during the scholar's scientific examination. This also makes Qin Xuan feel relieved. The more people who sign up for travel, the better. These come from various states in the Tang Dynasty.  The scholars were the elite of the entire Tang Dynasty, and they were also the reserve army of the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Even if many of them could not be named on the gold list, some of them would become the staff of some officials, although they were not as good as the scholars.  Being a son can be regarded as a new path, and one day he may be able to embark on the road of politics and stand out.

    Since Li Mei became a princess, she gradually faded out of Lianxiang Tower and no longer intervened in its management. Prince Ning's Palace later sent someone else to manage it. Now she has become a rising star in Prince Ning's Palace. Her status as a princess has surpassed that of many brothers and sisters.  Now that she's married, her status is high, so it's no longer easy for her to meddle in these shady industries. Moreover, she also has her own fief, so she has no shortage of money.

    Qin Xuan did not enter Lianxiang Tower, but walked along the main street of Fangjian. There were many scholars watching in front of many tourist posters. It seemed that this plan was successful, and Taiwan was also actively preparing.  At the same time, the "Yellow River Tourism Company" also rented three large passenger ships like "Shunfeng Passenger Transport". As soon as their first shot is fired, the future situation will open up. These people who participate in tourism are the best living advertisements.

    The success of anything is not accidental, even if it becomes an instant hit, the early efforts and efforts are the preparation. He just made detailed planning for this tourism company. This winter, "Yellow River Tourism Company" has been actively  They have worked hard and invested huge amounts of money to set up branches in Beijing, Dongdu, Beidu and other places, and vigorously train tourism-related personnel, including tour guides.

    These tour guides are not ordinary people, but scholars. During the route inspection in September, there were not five scholars, but more than thirty. They were hired by the Yellow River Tourism Company with high salaries. When visiting the scenic spots,  They fully understood the history of each scenic spot and what is happening now, as well as folklore and legends, as well as a lot of outdoor knowledge related to tourism. At the same time, they were promised that they could also take part in the scientific examination. Once they were named on the gold list, they would be dismissed.

    Qin Xuan didn't know about these things. Although the tour guide was mentioned in the early planning, he just mentioned it casually. He didn't expect that they did it in such detail. He didn't know many of these things. The tour guide of "Yellow River Tourism Company"  When Zi inspected the tourist attractions along the Yellow River in the early stage, he found that many scenic areas were sparsely populated, and some were small villages and towns.

    When traveling as a tour group, you need to have fun, eat delicious food, and live comfortably. Cruise ships can solve the accommodation problem, but the food problem requires supplementing meat, vegetables and other dietary necessities along the way. In this era, there are no refrigerators, so you need to provide food along the way.  Stop supplements can be purchased in towns and cities, but in some villages, it is difficult to meet these requirements.

    The "Yellow River Tourism Company" also thought of a strategy in this regard. In some villages that are relatively close to the scenic spots, they contact the local Rizheng or Village Chief, give them a small deposit, encourage them to engage in breeding or go hunting in the mountains, and bring wild animals to them.  The meat is dried and made into bacon, and then the whole village is used to set up a farmhouse-style hotel. It will be used to receive tourists who come to visit, or cruise ships will buy these wild animals or farmed poultry to provide delicious meals to tourists.

    The Yellow River Basin is different from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin. The route operated by Huangfu Ziyao and others has many villages and towns along the way. There is no problem in terms of food. It is very convenient to purchase food. The prefectures and counties they pass along the way are all tourist projects, and the boats can also  Stop and choose scenic spots that are not too far away from these prefectures and counties. The villages near the scenic spots also use the farmhouse style. I don¡¯t know who the ¡°Yellow River Tourism Company¡± probably participated in Huangfu Ziyao¡¯s Jiangnan tour.  This set was also moved to the Yellow River Tour.

    A small farmhouse is unique in this era. Huangfu Ziyao and the others actually borrowed the form of Qinxuan Chang'an Farm, but they didn't need to invest. All they had to do was make a verbal agreement with the villages near the scenic spot.  , as long as it succeeds the first time, then the village will benefit, and they will do better without being urged by others, so that the villages near the scenic spots set by Huangfu Ziyao and others not only run farmhouses, but also have a certain amount of capital.  The villagers also set up a farmhouse inn, which provides food and accommodation services.

    A tourism project can drive the economy of a place. In Jiangnan, many people quickly discovered this. Smart people even invested in building better restaurants and inns nearby to receive tourists, and even tourist attractions in prefectures and counties.  Rich people from time to time will take their families to visit scenic spots and stay there for two or three days. These are the benefits of tourism and stimulate local economic development.

    ¡°Tour the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River, visit the hometown of Confucius, climb Dongyue Mount Tai, and taste the delicious seafood¡±

    On the streets of Chongrenfang, there were many children shouting with a stack of paper, and thisThere were posters of "Yellow River Tourism Company" everywhere. When I saw a thin, dark-skinned scholar-looking man approaching, an eleven or twelve-year-old child immediately came over to deliver a small advertisement.

    "There are luxurious boats when you visit the Yellow River. Brother, let's take a look," the little boy said.

    "Haha, the Yellow River Tourism Company's advertisements are flying all over the place. Here's one. How much will it cost you for one day?" Shizi asked with a smile.

    "Five cents a day," said the child.

    "Haha The owner of the Yellow River Tourism Company is too stingy. He only gives five cents a day. The advertisement says it's very good. It's time to sign up for a tour. Why don't you give it to the daughter of Li Xiang, the owner of this company?  "To compliment you, this is for you." The scholar said with a smile, took out ten coins from his pocket and gave it to the child.

    "Thank you, brother. You are a good person. Who is this Mr. Li?" the child asked strangely.

    "Prime Minister Li, he is the Zhongshu Ling of the current imperial court," the scholar said with a smile.

    "What kind of official is Zhongshu Ling? Is he a high official?" the child asked.

    "Well, he is a very big official. I heard that this travel company is run by her daughter. Of course we, the scholars, are going to support us. We might become officials under Prime Minister Li in the future." The scholar said with a smile, turned around and left.  .

    "Husband, what are you doing? It's hard to have a day off. Why don't you read the military book carefully? Why are you running around? It's only a few days before the exam starts." Beauty Guo held her precious son and faced Qin who just walked in.  Xuan said.

    "I went out for a walk. I read all those military books. I was reading them all the time when there was no class in school. Don't worry, I didn't fall behind. Did you ask how many people participated in the martial arts competition this time?" Qin Xuan said with a smile,  She took little Jiajing from the arms of Miss Guo and gave her a kiss.

    "I've heard about it. Currently, there are more than sixty people who have reported from various vassal towns and prefectures and counties. Because this year, we have added the Department of Generals with Knowledge of Dong Tao Strategies and the Department of Generals with Great Military Strategies. There are still many scholars.  Sign up, there will be many civil and military scholars taking part in the martial arts competition this year," Miss Guo said.

    The martial arts examination was initially just a test of martial arts and physical strength ("brain" means backbone, and physical strength refers to physical strength). Regardless of strategy and intelligence, anyone with strong martial arts and high martial arts can participate. Later, some people proposed that only such people should be selected for the martial arts examination.  The talents are not suitable. Many strategic people are not good at arching and horsemanship. Understanding military strategy is the focus of military examination selection. In the ninth year of Kaiyuan (721 AD), Li Longji issued an edict to add ""  "Wuzu Anbian Branch", "Intelligence General Branch", "Military Strategy Yuequn Branch" and so on.

    These subjects were added in the hope that the imperial court could select some strategic military generals. However, martial arts and physical strength were still common test subjects. The newly added subjects undoubtedly gave an opportunity to many literati who loved martial arts. Although the addition of  There are many of these subjects, but the difficulty of the exam is much simpler than that of the scholar's examination. Moreover, the examination of these subjects for scholars is not so strict in assessing martial arts and physical strength, and is much lower than the requirements for selecting military generals.  .

    At present, the military officers of the Tang Dynasty have a lower status than the civil servants, but they are not like the situation in later dynasties where the court was ruled by civilian officials. The current Tang Dynasty is still an era of equal emphasis on civil and military affairs. Frequent attacks by foreign tribes such as Tubo and Khitan have led to great food shortages.  The people of the Tang Dynasty have not yet asked the people of the Tang Dynasty to abandon the military and follow the civil service. The status of soldiers still has a certain foundation in the Tang Dynasty, including the current Li Longji who also values ??military generals very much.

    In the original history of Qin Xuan, it was not uncommon for Li Longji's military generals to reach high-ranking positions in the imperial court. For example, Niu Xianke was the prime minister with both civil and military skills, and An Lushan was born purely as a military general. He could not even read a single Chinese character, but he was still there.  Shangshu Zuopushe, Ge Shuhan, and Guo Ziyi were all born as military generals, which shows that military generals in this era were still highly regarded.

    The exams for these additional subjects in the martial arts examinations will be invigilated by the Ministry of War at a separate time after the martial arts examination. The examiner is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. At the beginning, it was the Foreign Minister of the Ministry of War who took the examination. Many officials wrote to complain about martial arts.  Both the civil service examination and the scientific examination were used to select talents for the imperial court. The status of the official examiner Wai Lang was too low. In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan (738 AD), Li Longji changed the right to examine the martial arts examination to the minister of the Ministry of War, which was equivalent to Qin Xuan's previous life.  The Deputy Minister of Defense of the People's Republic of China took the exam, which also reflects the importance attached to the martial arts examination.

    The two additional subjects added to the martial arts examination this year are obviously to select talented generals and military commanders with both civil and military skills. Although the Tang Dynasty is currently very powerful and peaceful, it is also surrounded by powerful enemies. Li  Longji was always thinking about solving the big problem of Tubo, which was very close at hand. With Tubo present, there would be no peace at the border of Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Tubo was so close to Chang'an. Once he broke through the defense line of Longyou defenders and entered Guanzhong, it would be a smooth river.  As for the cavalry of the Tibetan army, they can be allowed to gallop.

    In the current Tang Dynasty, after the old general Guo Zhiyun, there is now Gai Jiayun. In addition, there are no stunning generals with superb martial arts. At this point, Li Longji has also seen the decline of military generals and is preparing to  Under the plan to deal with Tubo, Gai Jiayun has been promoted to the military governor of Longyou. Now the additional subjects of martial arts examinations are probably to cultivate some good seedlings and eliminate the trouble of Tubo in one fell swoop.

    "Husband, before taking part in the imperial examination, the scholars all went to the Confucian Temple to pay homage to King Wenxuan, and the warriors went to the Martial Temple to pay homage to King Wucheng. You should also go and pay homage. I wish you the best in the martial arts examination list."Now that there is Gai Jiayun, there are no stunning generals with superb martial arts. At this point, Li Longji also saw the decline of military generals. In preparation for the plan to deal with Tubo, Gai Jiayun  Yun has been promoted to Longyou Jiedushi, and now the additional subjects of the martial arts examination are probably to cultivate some good seedlings and take down the trouble of Tubo in one fell swoop.

    "Husband, before taking part in the imperial examination, the scholars all went to the Confucian Temple to pay homage to King Wenxuan, and the warriors went to the Martial Temple to pay homage to King Wucheng. You should also go and pay homage. I wish you the best in the martial arts examination list."
