Chapter 207 - Waifang Zhixian (Ask for Subscription)


"I haven't asked Brother Zhang Nian for his name yet."

"Don't dare, Zhang Jin, Zhang Jiayu."

Zhang Jin also handed over his hand and reported himself to his family.

Then he said to Yang Ming with a smile on his face: "I haven't congratulated Brother Yang for being the top pick in high school.

His future is really limitless.

It puts Zhang to shame.

But I got a second place and a fourth place haha" Although he is ashamed, it can be seen that Zhang Jin is not ashamed at all.

On the contrary, he has a look of pride on his face.

This is actually no wonder.

Being ranked among the top three is already a leap of faith.

He takes part in the imperial examination every four years.

Those who take the college examination will not be counted In fact, among the tens of thousands of people, the total number of scholars selected by the top three is only more than 200.

This shows how difficult it is, not to mention the children and scholars who were dismissed early during the period.

Even if it is calculated, it is only one in ten thousand.

It’s not an exaggeration at all.

Zhang Jinneng ranked fourth in the second class, which also qualified him as a shujishi.

The so-called shujishi is also called shuchang.

The name comes from the meaning of "shujishi" in the Book of Establishment Chapter.

In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi was selected.

The six ministries and departments and the Hanlin Academy watched the government.

Those under the Hanlin Academy are called Shujishi, and those under the Six Ministries are called Guanzheng Jinshi.

Since the second year of Yongle, it has been exclusively affiliated with the Hanlin Academy and selected Jinshi scholars who are good at literature and calligraphy.

This period was actually a short-term position within the Hanlin Academy.

Those with potential were selected from among the imperial examination scholars.

The purpose was to allow them to study in the Hanlin Academy first and then be awarded various official positions.

The situation is a bit like that of later generations of trainees or graduate students who first went down to an office to familiarize themselves with management and related situations, and then arranged duties according to the situation.

Since the Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty, it has been a practice that those who are ranked first in the imperial examination are awarded Hanlin editors and editors, while others are awarded the second and third grades.

Choosing young and talented people to serve as concubines in the Hanlin Academy is called "selection".

Among them, the time for Shujishi to observe government generally lasts for three years.

During this period, he was taught by experienced people in the Imperial Academy and imparted various knowledge.

Three years later, the assessment will be conducted before the next examination, which is called "dismissal".

Those with outstanding academic performance will stay in the Hanlin Academy, where they will be taught editing or review, and will officially become Hanlin Academy members, which is called "Liuguan".

Others were sent to the six ministries as directors and censors; some were also sent to serve as officials in various places.

In the Ming Dynasty, Hanlin was a place where the government stored materials.

It was a common practice after the Yingzong Dynasty that no one who was not a Jinshi would be admitted to the Imperial Academy, and someone who was not an Imperial Scholar would not be admitted to the Cabinet.

Therefore, shujishi are known as "preserver prime ministers", and those who can become shujishi have the opportunity to rise to the top.

Therefore, as the fourth place in the second class, Zhang Jin can definitely rank Shujishi, although he is satisfied with it.

But I have to say that he is proud of himself.

What's more, Zhang Jin looks like he is only 27 or 28 years old.

He is so young and has a bright future.

It goes without saying that young talents like him will definitely be specially trained.

After all, as far as ordinary Jinshi is concerned, it is normal to be a Jinshi at forty years old.

However, if you are a Jinshi at the age of forty, then you will be forty-three years old after observing the government for three years.

After that, according to the law, you will be a seventh-rank censor or go to that ministry.

To appoint a director in the hall, this means that he has to endure seniority, which lasts for four years.

After four years, he will be promoted again based on his political performance.

It is even more tragic for those who have not been ordered to be loyal to common people.

Not only do you have to observe the government, but you also have to pay attention to the local affairs.

Generally speaking, you can only be an eighth-grade county minister or magistrate at most.

It is simply impossible to become a county magistrate.

For example, Yang Ming His mentor Li Daoyuan was born as a Shujishi.

It was also in the third year of Liubu Guanzheng that he was transferred to Shuzhong as the magistrate of Hongcheng County.

However, compared to ordinary Jinshi, his promotion speed was undoubtedly more than one level higher.

And having a Shujishi background is also a kind of qualification, just like later generations going to such and such a place for further study.

This kind of qualifications will be recorded by the Ministry of Personnel and will be considered whether you are promoted or transferred to another place as an official.

All in all, although Zhang Jin's background is not as good as the three people in Yijia.

But he is also considered a very important figure among the other second- and third-class people, and he is the target of various factions to win over him.

"Same joy.

Same joy."

Since Zhang Jin threw out the light of friendship, Yang Ming naturally would not refuse.

Youdao relies on parents at home and friends when going out.

Having more friends is an extra way to build a promising future.

Friends are really not a bad thing for him, but he is a little strange.

Logically speaking, he did not go to see Yan Song and other examiners, which is equivalent to offending Yan Song and others, but why did Zhang Jin show favor to him?

However, he just thought about it and threw it away, because at this time, almost all the Jinshi of the new department had arrived, and an official from the Ministry of Rites also came to give them simple etiquette training and wait for the official opening ceremony.

There was a serious atmosphere outside the Donghua Gate.

The front of the goal, the midfield, and the ending song where Yang Ming was all were silent.

When the hour came, I heard the bell tower chime and saw the Donghua Gate slowly opening.

Donghua Gate is the main entrance into and out of the Forbidden City, and every time it is opened it is no small matter.

The last time it was opened it was for the announcement of the results, this time it was opened for the conferment of officials, and other times it might be important events or foreigners coming to visit, otherwise it would usually be through other doors.

This is a kind of etiquette and an attitude towards recruiting scholars.

"Your Majesty has a purpose" With the appearance of the eunuch, the investiture ceremony has officially begun.

Because the location is the end of the song, the eunuch's words cannot be heard at all.

What's more, when the door opens, the imperial guards and imperial guards line up in a row with weapons in hand. , extending from the inside of Donghua Gate to the inside Mighty, domineering It is simply difficult to match the momentum at that time.

Everyone was extremely excited, even Zhang Jin seemed to be full of pride But Yang Ming didn't feel this way.

He felt that this smell was so similar to the large-scale award ceremonies of later generations.

First they arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, and then the civil and military officials had their own stations.

At the bottom of the hall stood Yang Ming and other new scholars.

Then came Jiajing's speech.

Because there was a speech, I didn't know whether it was written by Huang Jin or the minister.

It was so thick that this chapter was so densely written that Yang Ming almost collapsed when he saw the thick stack. , I thought to myself, I wonder if Jiajing will feel thirsty after reading this speech.

"Since I succeeded to the throne, I have diligently managed the country, but there are hundreds of millions of people in the world.

There are sages and sages."

This thought lasted for most of an hour.

I have to say that Jiajing really has the potential to be an emperor.

This long article talks about the thirst for talents, which is vivid and stimulates the whole body of Jinshi below.

It makes one's heart full of enthusiasm.

I just wish I could become an official right away Then Yang Yanhe, the chief minister of the dynasty, spoke.

Because he was also the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, the list of official appointments was actually drafted by him, and naturally there was Jiajing's approval in it.

Until Yang Yan After encouraging these new scholars again, he explained the list of professors in front of all the officials and presented it to Huang Jin who was next to him.

Huang Jin took the directory, naturally not to read it himself, but to forward it to Jiajing Jiajing took the list in front of everyone, looked at it, and then marked it.

This is the most critical time, and the next step is the official awarding process.

"By the destiny of heaven, the emperor made the following announcement: The ceremony of recruiting talents from all over the world, and the state will grant the first-class scholarship to three people, three of them will be Jinshi, and the first scholar in the first class, Liu Shilin, will be the sixth-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy.

The second-ranked scholar, Liu, will be awarded.

It was compiled by Fangzheng Qipin Hanlin Academy, and Yang Ming, the third ranked Tanhua, was awarded Zhengqipin County Seal."

First and third, that's Tanhualang However, the fact that he was only awarded the seventh grade county magistrate undoubtedly surprised many people who did not know the inside story of the matter.

Especially some new scholars can't understand the reason.

You must know that entering the Imperial Academy means becoming the prime minister.

Being an editor or editor is a noble official.

With such qualifications, you will be qualified to become the prime minister in the future, but it is also a first-class official. , but Yang Ming was only awarded a county magistrate, although he was a seventh-rank official.

But the gold content is undoubtedly a world of difference.

People who meet in the capital are all big shots.

After staying in the Imperial Academy for a few years to develop their qualifications, they will have connections and qualifications.

When the time comes, he can be appointed as magistrate, or he can enter the ministry, or he can continue to serve as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, which will save him countless years of advancement time, and although the magistrate is also in the seventh grade.

But it's different down there.

After all, scholars all know an idiom, that is, talking on paper.

In private, everyone drank some wine and talked about how to govern the country, but when it came time for them to take charge of one side, most of them couldn't find the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

After all, saying this and doing it are two different things.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice to stay in the capital, but Yang Ming's appointment seems to deviate from common sense.

The information contained in it undoubtedly makes almost everyone who doesn't know the truth feel that the imperial court or the big guys and even Jiajing are not interested in Yang.

Ming's attitude seems a bit subtle.

Then this silence was only short-lived.

After about ten seconds of silence, Huang Jin continued to announce the names of the second-class and third-class officials.

Yang Ming also noticed these lists.

There were a total of twenty-eight people who were awarded the title of "Jinshi".

The first-class champions were all on the list.

There were 21 out of the eighty-three people who were awarded the "jinshi" by the second-class scholars.

Being judged as a good scholar, the top three were awarded the same title Among the 238 people born in Jinshi, there are actually five lucky ones who have been awarded Shujishi.

These people are undoubtedly the ones with a bright future.

As long as they follow the steps and work steadily, no accident will happen in a few years.

Enter the ministry hall.

The entire conferment ceremony is not over until all the first, second, and third grade scholars, including more than 300 new scholars, have been awarded official positions or internship positions.

Just when all the new scholars were excited, Yang Yanhe looked at Yang Ming.

In fact, not only Yang Yanhe, but also Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, and other officials from the three provinces and six ministries looked at him with deep meaning.

This is where Yang Ming chose to delegate.

Yang Yanhe has already informed Yang Ming that he can choose a county as the county for his experiments in the Ming Dynasty for a period of three years.

Yang Ming's answer at that time was that he would go wherever the poorest place was.

But no one took this sentence seriously.

They all thought that scholars were naturally a little arrogant.

After all, Yang Ming was still young and very talented.

Whether it was out of love for talents or considerations for the country, they all decided unanimously to stay in the university.

It is more appropriate to let Yang Ming choose at this time.

After all, it is about the future.

I believe that as long as Yang Ming is not stupid, he will naturally choose the priority.

With a smile on his face, Yang Ming walked towards Jiajing who was sitting on the dragon chair.

He didn't slowly settle down until he was about three feet away.

He first glanced at Jiajing boldly and then turned around to face everyone and said calmly: " Yang Ming was born in At the beginning of my career, I was fortunate enough to be favored by my mentor and brought him into the family.

I only made some minor achievements in Shu.

I was deeply favored by His Majesty to raise people up to a higher level.

Moreover, the love and affection of all the princes in the court cannot be expressed in words.

Now I am conferring an official.

Great ceremony, Your Majesty The ministers who were awarded the title of seventh-rank county magistrate were extremely frightened and wanted to repay the kindness of the emperor and the kindness of the country.

However, the territory of our Ming Dynasty was vast, and there was a gap between the rich and the poor.

The rich were like two Huai rivers.

Like the land of Yangzhou, where the poor are safe In the south, Yunnan and Guizhou, the clothes are not hidden from the body.

I, the scholars of our generation, have read the unique knowledge of the ancestors.

I should be the peace minister of all ages and ask for your majesty's decree.

I am willing to go to the poorest county in the Ming Dynasty to serve as an official.

I can't make it after three years.

Kang Fu will never return to the court."

What Yang Ming said was impassioned.

Even some people who had prejudices against him before could not help but admire him now.

No one could say that three years would not make him prosperous and he would never return to the throne.

Maybe I don’t admire you very much

Jiajing was also full of pride.

He had already expected Yang Ming's answer.

Yang Ming was different from others.

In his opinion, Yang Ming's greatest ability was financial management.

If he was in charge of a county, then this He is the biggest in the county.

It can be said that he has the final say in the entire county, whether it is government affairs or other matters.

He has clear government decrees and has the means.

As long as the people below can use them without delaying them, he can achieve some results without even thinking about it.

For example, if ordinary people can have food to eat at home, buy clothes all year round, and have a meal of meat during festivals, they are recognized as well-off families.

However, with such a living standard, even a family of five only needs less than three taels of money for a year, which is equivalent to three taels when converted into silver.

But with Yang Ming's method, it is not even three taels.

Thirty taels should not be difficult.

After all, the coal group in Sichuan clearly illustrates this point.

For example, manpower is needed to transport coal, briquettes, and coal furnaces.

In addition, people are also needed to make the furnace core, furnace cover, and furnace body.

After these things are completed, It requires assembly and sales.

To put it bluntly, each link is run by one person.

If Yang Ming can come up with another method like the Coal Group, let alone a small county, even a government will benefit from it.

By then, there will be a sea of ​​people needed, whether they are the elderly or the middle-aged, even housekeepers The mother-in-law can also do some work within her ability in exchange for some firewood and rice.

"I'm glad I saw you right."

Jiajing's face turned red with excitement.

Yang Ming was his man from the time he gave Yang Ming the chance to be elected.

Now that Yang Ming wants to carry out good government experiments in local areas, he naturally agrees with both hands and loudly says: "Yang Ming Ming, I don't care where you go, as long as you can really find a path that is beneficial to Ming Dynasty, I will open the central gate to welcome you in three years."

Then he said to Huang Jin on the side: "Huang Jin, take it out and read it." s: Here comes the second update.

I am not lazy today on the 4,000-word chapter.
