Wang Zhichen drafted the list of regimental officials, and then someone at the table discussed the formation of a party by Hu Dan, the number one scholar of the current dynasty, and Lu Wenhuan, the number one scholar of the Tang Dynasty.
From this first day's collection, Zhang Yue felt that there was a lot to enjoy.
They have many reasons, and they can’t list them all one by one...
Only when you are in it can you feel its subtlety.
Sometimes a seemingly neither complimentary nor derogatory sentence is like a soft arrow shot at you. Although it is not painful or itchy, if it hits many people, it will feel a little bit.
After Zhang Yue announced the selection method for the issue, Chen Mu was in a dilemma. Wang Zhichen remained calm and silent. He also inexplicably felt that there was more of this strangeness in the air.
While changing clothes, Han Zhongyan found Zhang Yueyan and said: "To be honest, no matter how you arrange it or how impartial it is, some people will be dissatisfied. Instead of doing this, it's better to invite people into the game as usual. This is the way to go."
Effective methods must not be used in vain to harm one's body."
Zhang Yue knew what Han Zhongyan was referring to, but he did not do this for them to see.
Setting a high monthly fee is to screen out those Jinshi who are sincere in joining the game.
People who really want to participate in the issue will come by borrowing from friends around them and even borrowing loan sharks from bookstores. At the same time, it also gives people who don't want to participate in the issue a decent excuse to withdraw.
Setting a high threshold increases the quality of social interaction. This is the essence of the high cost of collecting money since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Why is the gathering of Jinshi generals in the Tang and Song Dynasties also called the Zhuangyuan Bureau?
The truth is here too.
Zhang Yue often felt that it was not worthwhile for Cai Que to accept bribes and almost be dismissed from office in order to collect money for the period, but would he have taken this step if he were in his position?
Now if Zhang Yue sets a high amount of money for collection, how many more Cai Que will be added in the same year? How many Jinshis will be burdened with debts and take up their posts in the local area? What consequences will this unhealthy trend have?
But history often tells us that the so-called rain and dew share equally, that is, no one can share it. Everyone participates in the period, but no one will thank Zhang Yue for giving him this opportunity.
Zhang Yue violated the rules and lowered the period of raising money, and even provided a large portion of the subsidy himself. In the end, he only ended up with a thankless result, which was regarded by many people as a sand-walled move.
But Zhang Yue also had his own reasons, because he knew that there was a pair of eyes from a higher place watching his every move.
You just won the top prize and you forgot what you said in the Golden Palace?
Why did you give yourself one hundred thousand dollars (one hundred strings)? Do you really think that the stingy official gave the money to you for your own use?
Why in the sixth year of Xining, the third official couldn't stand it any longer and gave you three thousand guans to collect money for the expenses of your group of Jinshi. Later, the Jinshis couldn't help their extravagance and waste during the period, so the imperial court added another 2,000 guans?
They even couldn't help it, and the officials personally told the Jinshi that the imperial court would pay for all the excess expenses in the period collection?
Zhang Yue said to him: "I understand what you mean, Shipu. You are sincerely doing this for me, but I have no choice but to do this. I hope you will understand and help me again."
Han Zhongyan and others understood what Zhang Yue meant as soon as they heard what he said, and immediately patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you want to do this, I have no other words. Just let it go and I will help you."
Zhang Yue said gratefully: "Shi Pu knows me, he knows me."
Han Zhongyan laughed loudly when he heard this.
Zhang Yue also smiled. At this moment, he really regarded Han Yanei as his friend.
Yes, this person has a chaotic relationship between men and women, and has all kinds of bad tempers in the office, but he is so shrewd and powerful! Changing places, Zhang Yue himself may not be able to understand the other party's position so quickly.
Han Zhongyan looked at Zhang Yue's back and thought to himself, the official is already old, what's the use of your trying your best? Do you still take what you say in the Golden Palace seriously?
When Zhang Yue returned to the period gathering place, all the scholars were buzzing with discussion as soon as the distribution of money for the period gathering was announced.
Zhang Yue ignored everyone's gaze and said to himself silently, don't care what others think, just know what you want.
Sometimes when you are an official, you must always use Deng Wan's words to encourage yourself, "I will obey you if you laugh or scold me. A good official must do it for me."
In short, as soon as the money collection was announced, many people immediately questioned the violation of old rules.
Some Jinshi who did not want to participate in the period had to come, and some wanted to gain entry through money and connections, and their attitude towards Zhang Yue was not as respectful as before.
Several people also came to Zhang Yue to question him, and Zhang Yue replied calmly: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. In the past, the habit of extravagance and waste in collecting dates must be changed now."
Some expressed understanding, while others sneered and left.
Behind the scenes, the Jinshi's evaluation of Zhang Yue included a few words like 'broad-minded', 'ignorant' and 'taken for granted'.
The time of collection.
Zhang Yue is usually in the bureau, but when the day is over, he goes home to pack his clothes, and many people send letters or go to the government to ask for permission to join the bureau. For example, his uncle Wu Anshi is indeed a well-connected person.
To intercede for someone, you have to introduce several Jinshi people into the game.
Ouyang Fa could not stand in the way and came forward to speak out.
What is unexpected is that Zhang Yu actually had the audacity to use his uncle's kindness to invite him into the game.
But Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile after reading these letters. If they knew that they were going to create a zero-threshold issue, Zhang Yu and Ouyang Fa would be fine, but Wu Anshi, the uncle, would probably be very angry.
But having said that, Zhang Yue also had less trouble in dealing with people, and his interpersonal relationships were much simpler.
Zhang Shi helped Zhang Yue pack clothes and bedding for the Yu family. While packing, Yu family told Zhang Yueyan about getting married to the Wu family. Now that the two families had changed their care, the Seventeenth Mother also accepted Yu's gift.
The detailed post is still being drafted for the gold hairpin, probably there is still something to be considered about the dowry...
Yu Shi talked nonchalantly, but Zhang Yue didn't listen much.
He thought about the gathering during the day, and occasionally glanced at a few fish in a stone basin in the courtyard, and said with emotion, "If the water is clear, there will be no fish."
Mrs. Yu replied that Zhang Yue was talking to her, but she felt that it didn't seem like it, so she immediately said: "Yes, the Wu Mansion has promised to give you three thousand guan for laying the land to pay for this collection."
As soon as the fish's tail squirmed, it immediately created circles of ripples in the pool.
"What three thousand strings?"
Zhang Yue just looked at a few fishes, his mind was as leisurely as Tao Yuanming's, but now he suddenly returned to the world from birth.
Before, he paid a hundred guan himself, and as the bulk of the money collected, he still suffered from bouts of physical pain. He spent the 100 guan given by the emperor so grandly, and even received a lot of scolding. But what is this now? Everything.
It doesn't matter.
If you have a lot of money in your family, you can act according to your heart.
Three thousand guan, does the Wu Mansion have to pay for the entire period? Or does it have to be bought twice?
It's shameful, it's so shameful, that a man of his own accord actually...
But I have to admit, it smells really good!
If there is any humiliation, please give me more humiliation like this.
Zhang Yue calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "Money and wealth are all external things!"
After finishing the chapter, he walked out the door and left for the gathering place.
When Zhang Shi and Tang Jiu saw this, they were filled with admiration. Zhang Shi said, "No wonder the third brother got the top prize. His magnanimity is extraordinary."
Yu Shi also said: "Yes. I almost fainted when I heard it."
Zhang Shi nodded in agreement, his expression was a bit complicated, more like envy?
Below is the collection.
Another thing during this period is to give thanks.
Zhang Yue wanted to choose a day, led by Wang Gui, the official of Zhigong, to lead all the Jinshi to join the family to express gratitude. At the same time, he also asked all the Jinshi to collect money and bring in a hundred taels of silver to express gratitude. This money was given to the emperor.
In the past, it was still necessary for the number one scholar to take the lead, but Zhang Yue's attitude towards money is now very Buddhist.
Just a hundred taels? I’m all out, okay?
Although Zhang Yue thought so in his heart, he still did not say the words.
But despite this, some Jinshi still couldn't come up with the money. Just like collecting money in the same period, Zhang Yue got a hundred guan, but in the end it was evenly distributed to every Jinshi. Some people still didn't want to pay.
But I decided to come again.
Zhang Yue couldn't force them to pay like Lu Wenhuan did to Liu Can. Seeing that they were really unwilling to give, he finally paid for the supplement himself.
Some people have really been wandering in Beijing for several years, and finally passed the Jinshi exam but can't afford any money. Do we really want these people to borrow loan sharks at high interest rates?
However, this matter is still thankless, being taken for granted and ridiculed by others.
When someone is the number one scholar, they don't pay for the periodical fairs themselves, and they even make money for the same year. But Zhang Yue actually put money into it, which is really stupid.
Of course these are troublesome things, but Zhang Yue was relieved if he had known that such a situation would arise earlier.
Some people even found fault with the fact that Qiji's food was extremely light and simple, with no delicacies from the mountains and seas. The standard of the banquet was not worthy of their current Jinshi status.
For these people, Zhang Yue can only tell them whether they want to eat or not, whether they want to eat or not.
The same rice feeds all kinds of people, even the Jinshi who seem to be superior to outsiders. Most Jinshi still understand and support Zhang Yue, especially those Jinshi who really want to participate in the period but don't have much money are very grateful.
Zhang Yue's.
In fact, there is nothing right or wrong about whether there is a high threshold or a low threshold for raising money on a regular basis.
There are two kinds of values, and you can only choose one of them. One of the reasons lies in the point, and the other lies in the aspect. If you were replaced by Han Zhongyan as the number one scholar, you might not do it this way. You must focus on the aspect, so that you can take into account all aspects of the interests.
, choose the best balance and put yourself in the most advantageous position.
But Zhang Yue himself came from a poor family, so he had to be careful and never forget who his boss was.
The children of officials are not allowed to be the number one scholar.
Only by not taking personal interests into consideration can you protect your personal interests.
Therefore, stance still determines values, but no matter what kind of values it is, you, as the organizer, must step forward to resolve the conflict of values.
Six years after Xining, why could the imperial court, which had always been so picky, come up with money to pay for Jinshi Qiji, and even Bao Yuan was finally released?
There is no other reason than Wang Anshi's reform, and the court finally became rich.
After all, if you have a rich family, you should act according to your heart.
