When he opened the door, he saw two people wearing ninth-grade official uniforms holding a cyan and purple-patterned poster, and came in through the door surrounded by four servants.
"Congratulations to Ye Guanren for being the second-ranked Jinshi in the First Class of Qing High School."
The moment he saw it, his luck was connected. Ye Qing felt dazed and a trace of Qing Qi came over him. However, he calmed down and asked: "You two are adults from the Ministry of Rites. Do you dare to ask the first three?"
Who is Yuan?”
The two ninth-grade ceremony officials hurriedly saluted and said, "Are you the new Jinshi? I would like to greet you. The number one scholar is Xu Wenzhao, and the third prize is Cao Wshao."
These are all three elements from the previous life. Ye Qing bowed his head and smiled: "Xu Wenzhao and Cao Wushao have been famous for a long time. Since they are on the same list, they must be close to each other - come and give me a reward."
After saying that, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes and gave them to the ninth-grade gift officer. He took out another one and told the store steward who came after hearing the sound: "Everyone who comes with the official will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the rest will be used by a table."
feast"
The deacon took the banknote and repeatedly agreed.
In this world where Taoism is sacred, corruption is unavoidable and people should be less concerned about it. However, most officials still exercise restraint because they are afraid of the punishment after death.
This is not morality or religion, it is just a reverence for justice - just justice in the underworld.
However, the official salary in this world is relatively rich, with a first-grade official salary of 10,000 taels, a second-grade official 8,000 taels, a third-grade official 6,000 taels, a fourth-grade official 4,000 taels, and a genuine fifth-grade official salary of 2,000 taels. At this stage, they all decrease by one thousand taels.
The genuine sixth grade is one thousand four hundred taels, the seventh grade is one thousand taels, the eighth grade is six hundred taels, and the genuine ninth grade is four hundred taels, decreasing by two hundred taels.
If the two ninth-grade officials in front of me were not corrupt, they would have a salary of two hundred and two years, and some rewards (bonuses). This one hundred two is half a year's salary.
It's not that Ye Qing can't give more, but there is a rule here. Showing wealth in the imperial capital is not a smart move.
"Two adults, do you have any other advice below?" Ye Qing asked with a smile as he saw the two of them collecting the banknotes.
"You are a first-ranked Jinshi. You don't have much to do today. You just have to report to the Ministry of Rites to register your official status. If you are a Jinshi, you will receive the usual rewards. Other than that, there is nothing else. There will be a dinner at Qionghu Taoist Temple in the north of the city tomorrow. Please
If you go to the banquet on time, the Holy Spirit will come."
When Ye Qing saw the two of them talking like this, he couldn't help but smile. After saying a few more words, the two of them resigned. Ye Qing sent him out and watched them go. When he came back, he changed into his uniform.
Jiang Zinan hurriedly waited on him and helped him change into it. He smiled and said, "Master, you are such a blessing. You are ranked second on the list. We have not had one in Nancang County for many years."
Ye Qing said "hmm" and smiled: "I'm going to the Ministry of Etiquette now."
After saying that, he went out, hired a bullock cart, and rushed to the Ministry of Rites.
Originally, the Ministry of Rites had been closed long ago, but today was different. When we arrived at the imperial city, we saw the sky full of cold stars, the early moon like a hook, and palace lanterns along the way.
Passing the Golden Bridge along the way, I saw a guard standing upright with a sword hanging from his waist.
A slightly chilly wind blew towards his face. Only then did Ye Qing have time to feel the majesty and solemnity of the Nine Heavens Tower. While thinking about it, he arrived at the Ministry of Rites
There were already hundreds of people in the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and there was some discussion.
"Jinshi enters through this door." An official guided him. Ye Qing saw a corridor leading to it and walked over with a smile. He entered the side hall and saw several Jinshi inside. Although they were not familiar with each other, they all knew each other.
He bowed and listened silently to the question from an official in charge.
"You are all Jinshi, registered in heaven, but you are also a Jinshi from Da Cai, with official status. Being a Jinshi does not mean that you are not concerned with worldly affairs. Many of your predecessors have served the country and are famous in history.
" said the official of the Ministry of Rites who was good at Qinghui.
Ye Qing looked carefully and saw that he was a fifth-rank official, in his fifties, with half-grey hair and speechless. After a while, it was Ye Qing's turn.
Seeing Ye Qing, the man was startled and spoke seriously: "Name, household registration."
Ye Qing was also startled. He practiced Taoism and was keenly aware that this person was a little unhappy. He coughed and said with a straight face: "Ye Qing, Pingshou County, Nancang County, Yingzhou."
As he said this, he handed over the test card. The official took it, but did not look at it immediately. He glanced at it and said, "I remember, he is the second best candidate. He is only seventeen years old. This is the first time in this dynasty that such a young second choice has happened in three hundred years. It's a pity."
Either he is the top pick, or it is really a good story."
What he said made Ye Qing stare at this official in surprise. He didn't understand how he had offended this official. Moreover, he was a first-ranked Jinshi. This man was about to retire. He was only a fifth-grade official. How could he dare to offend him?
I don’t know the reason for this, and I can’t figure it out for now, so I won’t say anything.
Strangely enough, Ye Qing remained silent, and suddenly there was a coldness in the scene. Several Jinshi around him became stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.
The official also felt the pressure and couldn't help but smile. He took out the paperwork and filled it out, saying: "Jinshi and Di Kebiyi, our ancestors, who do you want to protect in your lifetime?"
Since he was doing business, Ye Qing replied: "The ancestors are the ancestors."
After mentioning the name and household registration, even though Ye Qing's father was just a boy, it was justifiable for his father to value his son. When he protected his whole life, he said Qianqian, and the official was startled: "Is she your real wife?"
"no"
"Since she is not a real wife, isn't this child's play? Treating the country's grace as market favor."
"I think you have drunk too much and are already talking nonsense." Ye Qing smiled and then suddenly said: "Being a Jinshi and protecting ancestors and strangers is a grace jointly decided by heaven and the imperial court."
"I have never heard of force in the selection of Jinshi in the past dynasties. They all choose based on their heart. I must have some opinions on the imperial decree of heaven and the imperial court?"
"Then my lord, please stop writing and write to heaven and the imperial court." Ye Qing said coldly, feeling happy when he saw the official stunned.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang just said it casually and didn't mean it." A Jinshi said quickly.
The fifth-rank official said nothing and quickly filled out the form. Ye Qing took it, bowed, turned around and left. He didn't even want to understand why there were so many such inexplicable people in the world.
Ye Qing walked out with a flick of his sleeves, and the Jinshi who had just spoken followed him out. He clasped his hands and said, "Ye Qing is the second best, you don't have to be angry for this person, it's just jealousy."
Ye Qing met him and remembered that his name was Ge Zhushi. He had discussed articles several times in Gonghu. He was about thirty years old, neatly dressed and handsome. Before Ye Qing could speak, he whispered again: "This is
I know people from the Yang family of Su Guogong in Kyoto, even if they have ancestral influence, they will only win the imperial examination in their lifetime."
"He entered the official position after the age of thirty-six. Due to his low status, he worked hard for twenty years. With the support of Su Guo Gong Zuyin, he became a fifth-rank official. This was the official position he added when he wanted to retire (retirement).
I will retire in half a year, so I don’t want to see anyone else become a Jinshi. It’s okay to be a little older. But when I see you are only seventeen, I can’t help but feel angry.”
Ye Qing smiled lightly and said, "So that's it."
Without further talking about this, Ge Zhushi said enviously: "I am a Jinshi, and you are a Jinshi and got the rank. This is a big deal. No wonder he is angry. I am envious."
"First of all, the specifications of the family temple can be built according to the Zhengshen Temple, and it can be opened to receive incense. This is a great thing."
According to the rules, only members of the family can offer incense in the ancestral hall, and outsiders are not allowed to offer incense. There may be some marginal touches, such as allowing family servants to offer incense, but it must not be done openly and aboveboard.
It was indeed a big deal to allow outsiders to offer incense. Ye Qing listened as he continued: "You can also build a Jinshi memorial archway. Even if the county magistrate comes to visit, you must salute. In the end, you can protect the strangers and ancestors."
Just as he was talking, he saw a few Jinshi come in again. Ge Zhushi said no more: "This is not the place to talk. You have to clean up your feelings tonight. There will be a banquet in Qionghu Lake tomorrow night. We will live together in Gonghu Lake the night after."
The Jinshi held a banquet and drank and talked all night long - don't argue with this person."
As he said this, Ye Qing also bowed. After going out, he called an ox cart, sat in it, and said, "Go to Gong Lake."
The driver shouted, and the ox cart started moving. At this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the official street, and only the sound of hoofs on the road could be heard. Only then did Ye Qing wake up, and looked at the newly obtained confession documents as if he didn't recognize him.
With it, they have a serious official body. The Enze family carefully checked their luck and saw that the blue energy was declining. Their own luck was red. There were already some yellows, but now there is a bright yellow spread.
Many people have the misunderstanding that having green energy means having a blue destiny. In fact, this is a fallacy. Even if a person is appreciated by the emperor and has blue energy, his or her destiny will also undergo a transformation process.
Generally speaking, the second lower level can be reached quickly without much difficulty. The lower first level requires time and qualifications, while the same level requires more cooperation from all aspects.
The governor of a state is pure green, and his appreciation is at most light green. With favor, it is not difficult to reach the red county-level officials, but it is a little more difficult to reach the county-level golden. You still need to have the ability and qualifications. To reach the light green, in the state
It is even more difficult to hold a position here.
Jinshi is a young person, while fellow Jinshi is light green. With this background, it can only be said that there is basically no difficulty in serving as a county magistrate. A county magistrate can be reached as long as he waits for a few years, but the level of a state official is not guaranteed.
"There are still three years before the great calamity. It is the time when I have consolidated my position and career. I won the second place. My first step plan has been achieved. The next step is to write a book."
This book is not a work handed down from generation to generation, on the contrary, it is a novel.
Ye Qing is not devaluing himself, but he has no choice but to think about it: "Which one should I use to have the greatest advantage? And it conforms to the laws of the great tribulation?"
"The Romance of the Gods? These three saints may be alluded to by people in this world as the three Taoist monarchs. They are indeed suspected of being in movies and TV shows, which is inappropriate."
"Besides, I'm not familiar with the political landscape of the Shang Dynasty, so don't fool yourself."
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms? This has no background of gods and demons, and does not comply with the law of maximizing interests."
"Maybe we can combine it, using the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for the secular background, and the Romance of the Gods for the Taoist level. It's just that the three leaders are a bit obvious. This Hongjun is probably a disaster - the world thinks that the three leaders are a metaphor for the Three Kingdoms.
Daojun, what does it mean to put a Hongjun on top of them?"
"Yes, maybe Hongjun can be classified as a Dao Lord, and the next five will happen to be the Five Emperors?"
