Chapter 1200 Ranking of the Masters

The next morning, after a night of restlessness, the scholars and the disciples of Baijia got up before dawn and lined up to the book and magazine booths everywhere for the newspaper to be listed. Many well-informed people also rushed to the newspaper office with their eyes rubbed their shit and their eyes were covered with two dark circles, waiting for the newspaper office to post the poster as soon as possible.

Newspapers usually have to wait until the hour of Yin before being transported to the city. When they start selling, they have to wait until the end of Yin, but newspapers must post posters earlier.

Sure enough, when the bell sounded in the Imperial Palace and the four gates of Xianyang City were opened, the staff of the newspaper could not wait to open the door. Soon a manager in charge of publicity brought a helper to carry a bucket of paste to brush the poster.

These posters were also made overnight, all written by Chen Ping and others in thick brushes, with a total of ten pictures, each of which was the school and name of the ten great sages.

"Give me...you guys give up the open space, otherwise I won't post it today..."

The manager shouted loudly to scold the hundreds of people surrounding the newspaper entrance. A group of security guards who rushed to work also began to drive the crowded crowd back. After the front of the propaganda column was empty, the manager slowly began to post posters.

"Manager Cao, hurry up, you're so anxious!" A Confucian scholar with elegant appearance and wide sleeves jumped anxiously.

"That's right, Manager Cao hurry up, I'll just wait..."

"Hurry, I feel so excited that I am about to explode!"

"You are so excited that there are only three or five people in the school, and you can go on the list, and go cool later..."

"Meow coward, how dare you humiliate my seal school and draw your sword..."

"If you pull your wife, don't look at where this is. Don't make trouble..."

Before the guy from the Seal School could pull out his sword, he was pinched by a burly man wearing a vest.

As the noise was clamoring, the two assistants finally slowly and carefully brushed the paste, and then Manager Cao took the initiative to post the first poster.

"Wow~~" Looking at the content on the first poster, the onlookers were instantly excited, and many people instantly lost their minds and shouted.

This poster is the most anticipated and exciting sages that will stand on the top ten of the library.

First, Chen Xu, the founder of the Science School, received 8327 votes.

Second, the Taoist great wise man Li Er won 8219 votes.

Third, Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, received 8063 votes.

Fourth, Guan Zhong, a great wise man from the Legalist, received 3610 votes.

Fifth, Wang Xu, the ancestor of the Zongheng family, won 2714 votes.

Sixth, Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mo family, received votes, 2168.

Seventh, Zou Yan, the founder of Yin and Yang Family, received 1757 votes.

Eighth, the Confucian great wise man Xunzi, got 1675 votes.

Ninth, the Guixu School ranked Yugang and won 1126 votes.

Tenth, the Taoist great wise Zhuang Zhou won 1059 votes.

This makes everyone feel that they are both reasonable and beyond guessing. Especially for Chen Xu, who ranks first, some people are excited and cheering, some are confused, some are lost, and more people nodded constantly after screaming, and then they realize that they are like waking up from a dream.

Taoism actually won a great victory in the top ten rankings. Lao Tzu, Liezi, and Zhuangzi were all on the list. From this, it can be seen that although Taoist disciples do not show off their own status in the literati class and the disciples of hundreds of schools, their status is quite stable. Other schools are influenced by Taoism, especially after Chen Xu carved Lao Tzu's moral scriptures as treasures in the Literature Academy, the folk praise of Taoism is second only to science, and has a very deep mass base. Liezi ranked ninth, which actually took advantage of the popularity of Chen Xu's disciples. Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, the disciples of Liezi, appeared with Chen Xu, the immortal disciple, and became the most loyal followers. This also made the Guixu School, which was not show off on its own, become popular and famous sects in everyone's mind.

Chen Xu still agrees with this ranking. Of course, except for himself, he never expected that he would be on the list, and that he was the top one, which made him feel a bit like he was dreaming.

However, as Chen Ping said, this selection is absolutely democratic and fair, with 100,000 votes and more than 70,000 valid votes. After sorting, more than 500 famous scholars were registered, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the current contemporary celebrities. Although most of the votes were selected from the 120 famous masters and sages specially sorted out at the time, it was obvious that this was an era of extremely free and open thinking. Many people filled in their ideal candidates. Of course, most of these votes can only be nominated. Although there are many famous scholars outside the list, the number of votes received will generally not exceed single digits. It is estimated that they are local celebrities in counties, because many of them have never heard of them.

But no matter how many people are nominated, it will not affect the final result. The hundreds of sects have their own huge influence, so the big schools will naturally make their mark easily.

In addition to Chen Xu's inexplicable appearance on the list, the list of the first ten is still in line with the current state of the Great Qin, and it is even roughly comparable to the ranking of the nine-rate ten schools circulating in later generations. Of course, there is still a difference. For example, the Legalist Guan Zi's status was raised to fourth place, which has a lot to do with the concept of magic governing the country promoted by the Great Qin. Xunzi's list is also due to Chen Xu's admiration and publicity of his concept of ritual and law rule, otherwise it would be unlikely to enter the top ten. For example, the Mohist school, which once competed with Confucianism, actually ranked sixth, which is obviously sorry for the name of the famous scholars who were not Confucian and Mohist. However, because the Great Qin's extravagant Mohist school has now been disintegrated, and the influence of the Mohist school has long been in name only. All the disciples of the Mohist school have hidden their names and no longer interfered with the open and secret struggles of the three factions. This ranking should be said to be quite good, and it also proves that the Mohist school's appeal and influence among the people are still quite huge.

"Haha, Confucius, the Confucian ancestor, received more than 8,000 votes, and was able to compete with Laozi Qinghe Hou. It is a great sect in the world. Our disciples are very happy to receive this teaching from the master. Let's go to Quyuan to drink and celebrate!"

After reading the top list, the Confucian scholar with wide sleeves and big robe just now, he greeted his fellow disciples and left with a happy smile.

"Brother Kong said that I am the top ten in the first list and I am a Confucian class. It is indeed worth celebrating. Let's go together..."

A group of Confucian disciples walked away with their arms and shoulders with excitement, and did not care about the rankings of the following lists. There were more invisible scholars and disciples from hundreds of families standing on tiptoe and squeezing forward. The crowded and polite scholars were all polite at this time, and the crowded and trampled, and the cordial greetings from your wife sounded from time to time.

With the help of Manager Cao and a few helpers, the remaining lists were soon posted one after another.

Faced with such a noisy and crowded chaotic scene, several enthusiastic people standing in front began to recite the rankings on the list loudly, and as they read aloud, the crowded crowd gradually calmed down.

"The eleventh, the great wise man of agriculture, Xu Xing... The thirteenth, the great wise man of medicine, Bian Que... The fifteenth, the great wise man of military genius Sun Wu... The eighteenth, the great wise man of business, Fan Li... The twenty-two, the great wise man of Confucian genius Meng Ke... The twenty-three, the great wise man of legal genius Shang Yang, the twenty-four, the great wise man of famous genius Shi..."

As the selection of celebrities, ranking order and votes were read aloud, cheers and doubts sounded from time to time in the crowd, but quickly became low under the scolding of more people.

As these lists appeared earlier than the newspapers, the information on the list was soon spread with the disciples of hundreds of families and the perverts. Therefore, more people who did not wait for the newspaper to be listed were crowded from all directions, and tens of thousands of people surrounded the streets in front of the newspaper office, and the darkness was blocked.

It was not until the end of the Yin hour that someone yelled that the newspaper had already started selling that a large number of people began to evacuate, and the streets that had been blocked for more than half an hour slowly became clear.

"I really don't know why the marquis had to arrange for it in advance and it was not revealed. So many people were so scary!" A group of newspaper leaders who came to the bus in a carriage then wiped their foreheads one by one, urging the groom to drive into the newspaper gate.

"Don't disclose in advance, just block it for a while today. If you disclose in advance, you may block it every day. Do you think these guys are very quiet on weekdays? Once you know that the ranking of the ancestors of your sect is not satisfied, you will definitely come and make noise!"

"Brother Qiu said, that's true. In the past month, some people's ears have almost been called into question!"

"I have been busy with this matter for half a year, and today I have finally achieved my merits. Now the ranking of the sages of the hundreds of schools has been determined, and these guys can't make a fuss. Thinking about this matter, if I dream, the voting and election strategy of the Marquis is too shocking and incredible!"

After getting off the car, a group of people stood in the yard and talked. People from the newspaper office came one after another on bicycles, horses or walking, and the yard became lively in an instant.

When Chen Ping came in, he found that Qiu Cheng and Fu An and other senior executives did not go to work, but were all gathered together to chat and fuck.

"You haven't worked yet, why are you so idle?" Chen Ping also got out of the car with two dark circles under his eyes.

Last night, I typed the special issue and prepared the list overnight. I was busy until late at night before going home to rest, and I was also so excited that I didn't fall asleep for half a night.

"Secretary Chen, why are you here? Why don't you go to court quickly? Your Majesty will definitely ask about the list later!" A group of people gathered up and bowed and urged him.

"It's still time. Don't be lazy today. The Marquis said that the next few newspapers will sort out the list of donors from all over the country and make them into supplementary issues and publish them with the newspaper..."

"Save it, you can go to court as soon as possible, otherwise we will be afraid that there will be a fight in the court!"

"Yes, go quickly!"
