Xu Ping carefully prepared, the newly opened shop of the three divisions won a lottery, and for several days, all kinds of novelties sold in the capital were rumored to be sold inside. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even other states have heard of it, especially in Luoyang, Xijing and Yingtianfu, Nanjing, where the wealthy families have sent people to the capital to purchase, so that the newly opened field production is nervous.

With the credit of rectifying the rule of the three divisions and the new opening of the office and shop, Xu Ping was finally promoted to another official, from the military department to the right division. In the Tang Dynasty, the right division was in charge of the military department, and he has been following this path, which is also an affirmation of Xu Ping's previous military achievements.

However, Xu Ping's title was transferred to the county marquis, and the post was to be made in Longtu Pavilion, so this promotion was really of little significance. Because many times, when you reach this position, you will not be promoted in order, and it is not uncommon for you to be directly promoted from the military department to the right counselor. Xu Ping is too young, and he is only twenty-five years old this year, and he is often stuck in promotion, and he rises step by step.

Left and right Shilang middle and below, belonging to the Zhongshu Sect is called the two provincial officials. The left and right counselors and above, including the left and right scattered cavalry attendants, and the people who give things and Zhongshu are all officials above the fifth grade under the Zhongshu Gate, commonly known as the "big two provinces", which is equivalent to the waiting system and miscellaneous bachelors of the post. Further up, Shangshu Shilang is called "Six Ministers II", and the dispatch is generally sent to Zaizhi.

Promoted to the right Shiro, Xu Ping's qualifications and treatment have not improved, which is quite chicken. And in order to thank the edict written by the Sheren Academy, he also sent a large sum of money to Li Shu, the intellectual system who wrote it, and the extra bit of money will almost certainly not be able to fill this shortfall, and this promotion to Xu Ping is a loss.

Everyone knows this truth, Li Shu is embarrassed to accept the money, and no one from his colleagues came to congratulate him, so it passed plainly. Even Xu Ping's own family is like there is no such thing.

March 20 is the day of the mid-year holiday, and it is also the day of the temple examination.

Early in the morning, Xu Ping arrived at the Chongzheng Hall and participated in the ceremony with the pavilion ministers in Beijing. The imperial examination was a measure for the imperial court to select talents, and these pavilion ministers were role models for the courtiers, and they were brought in every time to stand in the name of the advisors.

It wasn't until it was close to noon that the various ceremonies ended, Xu Ping looked at Li Jing, who was writing the papers, and silently wished him that he could go out of the hall with everyone around him in one fell swoop.

There was no sun in the sky, the clouds were not thick but covered the sky, and the wind was not like rain but more like a thick fog. Bianliang City not only has spring in March, but also has rainy days.

Riding on the horse, Xu Ping wiped the moisture on his face and said to Fan Zhongyan beside him: "I didn't expect this weather today, but I have already said that I will go to Jinmingchi to play, and they are waiting there, and it is not good not to go." ”

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Yun Xing grew up in the Central Plains since he was a child, and he is used to the bright spring. In fact, in Jiangnan, this kind of weather is normal, and cloudless days are rare. In March, there is no flavor, just near the pond fishing. ”

In Xu Ping's previous life, Yanyu Jiangnan has become a cultural symbol, and many literati and scholars are fascinated by it. However, in this era, the literati in Jiangnan had just begun to rise, and they were far from the momentum of later generations.

Feeling the ubiquitous water vapor, Xu Ping smiled self-deprecatingly: "In this case, today I will feel the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River in the capital, and avoid running thousands of miles to Suzhou and Hangzhou." ”

Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan were promoted to the waiting system on the same day, and naturally became the leader of the young pavilion ministers. However, the temperaments of the people gathered around the two are different, and most of Xu Ping's side are clumsy in words, while those who are practical are unpretentious. And Fan Zhongyan is surrounded by Ouyang Xiu and Cai Xiang, who are outstanding in writing and high-spirited.

Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan don't have any differences, they get along quite well, but they have different political views and don't have much contact. Today is a gathering of young people in the pavilion, and the two of them are acting together.

Fan Zhongyan is a traditional scholar, who pays attention to the gentlemen and ministers, performs their duties, and keeps their eyes on people, which is also the reason why he has a sharp contradiction with Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian privately planted party henchmen, controlled the government, and seized the power of the king, and he was already charged with a powerful minister. In handling political affairs, he often has selfish intentions, seeks benefits for his own party members, and harms the interests of the imperial court, in the eyes of Fan Zhongyan, he is already a traitor in the world. Power traitor, this is a figure that the scholar regards as a great enemy of life and death, and he was driven out of the court, and Fan Zhongyan regarded it as his sacred duty.

Unlike Fan Zhongyan, Xu Ping did everything for specific affairs, and rarely expressed his views on the personnel of the imperial court. Concentrating on doing things, regardless of other people's thoughts and opinions, this is Xu Ping's style.

Leaving the Donghua Gate, the group walked straight to the Nanxun Gate along the Imperial Wait. Behind are Wang Su and Ouyang Xiu and other young pavilion personnel, which can be said to concentrate the essence of the people in the world.

When he arrived at Zhouqiao, Xu Ping gradually got used to the indescribable good and bad weather, and said to Fan Zhongyan beside him: "A few days ago, the third division was going to print a book of arithmetic, and the Xingwen Guozijian has been in prison for some days, why haven't you seen the palindrome?" ”

"Arithmetic involves astronomy and has to be cautious. I have to think about it again, don't worry. ”

Listening to Fan Zhongyan's answer, Xu Ping shook his head helplessly.

Guozijian is not only a school, but also has many other affairs, such as the engraving of books. In addition to the books expressly stipulated by the imperial court, other books, especially books engraved by the people, must be reported to the national supervision for review and approval, otherwise it is illegal. The publication of the new regulations by the Three Divisions Engraving Book Bureau is a matter of the imperial court, and it does not require the consent of the Guozijian, but it is not possible to study agriculture and the like. Xu Ping's "Eight Characters of Farming" did not stand in the way, but Jia Xian's arithmetic ran into trouble.

Jia Xian himself is in Si Tianjian, and arithmetic is easily involved in astronomy, and the review time is obviously much longer.

The two major driving forces for the development of mathematics are the geometry used to measure the acres of land, and the other is to explain the observed laws of celestial movements. The development of mathematics in Europe in Xu Ping's previous life was no exception, and without Ptolemy's astronomical observations, Newtonian mechanics would not have been able to be created in a flat air.

Astronomy has a strong mystical color, even if the ancient Chinese were not influenced by religion and were much more enlightened, there were still layers of taboos on it, which was an ideological concept that Xu Ping could not change for a while.

Speaking of books, Xu Ping asked Duan Yunjie about the collection of new words to be printed there. She prints books there to make money, but it is not a public welfare undertaking, of course, she prints whatever is easy to sell. Recently, I have collected some popular new words mainly from Zhang Xian and Liu Yong, and I have found someone to proofread them, and I am ready to sell them for money in a large print, but I am still stuck in Guozijian.

Sometimes Xu Ping feels that the supervision of the country is too lenient, and it is almost like the previous life to issue a book number to print books, especially Fan Zhongyan's group of people is relatively old-fashioned and serious, which has dragged down the publishing industry.

The content of communication is limited by the form of communication, why were they all popular poems before? Not only because of the influence of social class, but also because of the form of communication, it is inconvenient to publish books. The poems are short, easy to copy, and even word of mouth does not delay circulation. If it's a little longer, this novel can't be spread if it's written. Xu Ping still wanted Duan Yunjie to make money by printing story books, but now Guozijian's book review efficiency can't keep up.

(Note: Private printing was released during the time of the Divine Sect, and it was previously subject to Guozijian review.)

By the way, I push a good book, Puxiang Zhenren's "Overseer", a very flavorful history book. (To be continued.) )
