On March 24, the hall test roll call, Xu Ping stood on both sides, and when he heard that Li Ji was ranked 28th in the first class, he sighed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the first imperial examination after Emperor Zhao Zhen took office, and it is extremely important. The expectations for these new jinshi are also high, and the generosity of the conferral of officials has reached a peak, which is higher than that of the Tiansheng Jinshi and higher than the previous Jinshi after that.

This year's Jinshi is the same as the eighth year of Tiansheng, and it is divided into five grades, which is slightly different from Xu Ping's sixth grade that year.

The champion Zhang Tangqing, Yang Cha, and the third Xu Shou are all generals and will be sentenced to Dazhou.

Four or five Miao Zhen and He Zhongli were awarded Dali Appraisal and Jie Du Judged.

The six and below of the first class are awarded the secretary of the provincial school and the county. Li Ji happened to be at this level, and as soon as he came out, he became a pro-people official, and his official was a Beijing official, although he was the lowest-level Beijing official, it was also a very good starting point.

The second class is the second rank of the two envoys, the third class of the junior officer, and the fourth and fifth ranks are the trial titles and the judge of the secretary and lieutenant, all of whom are selected.

Compared with Xu Ping's Tiansheng Five-Year Jinshi back then, there were four or five more festival judges, but the first-class Jinshi official behind him was lower than the Dali evaluation of Wen Yanbo and others back then. Because Zhao Zhen was in the filial piety period in the second year of Tiansheng, he did not conduct the palace examination, and he was ranked according to the ranking of the provincial examination, so the Jinshi of his first palace examination in the fifth year of Tiansheng was also generous.

But with the little historical knowledge of Xu Ping's previous life, after reading the names of this Jinshi, none of them had an impression. This is in great contrast to the situation of the three Jinshi talents in the Heavenly Sage years, and Xu Ping is a little hard to believe it. Maybe this is the norm of history, most of the Jinshi are actually unknown, and there are very few who can leave their names in history.

Zhang Fangping, who was very optimistic about Xu Ping, did not participate in this imperial examination, but made every effort to prepare for the April examination. There are many differences in the examination requirements of the system and the Jinshi department, and a character like Fu Bi who can switch between the two at will can't produce one for many years, so it can't be regarded as a normal phenomenon.

After the roll call, the new jinshi also had the ceremony of awarding robes and giving thanks, and Xu Ping and the others left the Chongzheng Hall in advance. In the following month, many ceremonies of the new science and technology scholars were attended by Xu Ping and others, which strengthened the momentum of the court and set an example for the new science and technology scholars. These celebrations are all about the people who are celebrating, and the onlookers are helpless.

Today, Xu Ping felt it, it was really not a good errand to stand at this time, looking at the excited appearance of the new science and technology scholars, the onlookers had long lost this passion. I remembered that I was quite calm back then, and my heart was still pounding with excitement when I was called by the roll call, but now I don't have that feeling anymore.

Li Jing's family was poor, and when he came to the capital, he only borrowed travel expenses from relatives and friends, and he couldn't afford the expenses of the next thanksgiving silver and periodical collections, all of which fell on Xu Ping. When he went out, Xu Ping gave him more than 100 taels of silver to take with him, which was counted as today's expenses. Without Xu Ping's support, Li Jing had to borrow money everywhere.

In addition to Li Jing, there are two other people in this Jinshi, and Xu Ping is entrusted by others to take care of them.

One is the champion Zhang Tangqing, and Han Qi entrusted Xu Ping. Zhang Tangqing is a native of Qingzhou, and he visited Zizhou when Han Qi was sentenced to Zizhou after being a jinshi, and was deeply appreciated by Han Qi. For example, today's Jinshi in the fifth year of the Holy Age, Xu Ping's official position is already high, and he has enough ability to promote others.

The other is Wen Yanruo, Wen Yanbo's half-brother, who is the third class and was originally awarded the junior officer. Although Wen Yanbo's father, Wen Xun, was the envoy of Sanmen Baibo at this time, and he was also a middle-level official, he was still too far behind a close minister like Xu Ping, and he couldn't say anything in the court.

At this time, Dr. Wen Yanbo was sentenced to Yanzhou, which was Xu Ping's official position many years ago, and he had not yet been given the opportunity to call for the academy, and there was still a gap between Han Qi, who was appointed as the official of Kaifeng Mansion with the position of the museum. And the other in the same year, Bao Zheng, was still at home to support his mother and did not go out. The champion Wang Yaochen was mourning, Zhao knew Hongzhou, Zhao Yu knew Ruzhou, and Wu Yutong sentenced Suzhou, this is the current situation of the best of the five Jinshi of Tiansheng.

Xu Ping is the right Shilang, and the Longtu Pavilion is to be appointed as the deputy envoy of salt and iron, far beyond everyone else, and it is the core of course.

Fan Zhongyan and Xu Ping walked side by side, walked out of Donghua Gate, and said to Xu Ping: "Yun Xing went to the sky before yesterday to set up a new camp in Kaifeng Mansion, and he was subordinate to the Third Division. Although things are feasible, the camp has always been under the state and county, and now it is transferred to the third division, is it a little inappropriate? ”

Xu Ping said: "Fan Beiji's words are a bit bad, although the local camp and field affairs are under the management of the state and county, the account books and examination courses have always been in the three divisions. It's nothing more than the three divisions don't care about the localities and entrust the state and county to manage them. The counties under Kaifeng Prefecture are not far from the capital, and the three divisions can directly govern it, and it is inconvenient to entrust the locality. Besides, the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are complicated, whether it is the Kaifeng Mansion or the official affairs of the counties and towns, they don't have the energy to do this, and it is better not to annoy them. ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded: "It makes sense to say this, what about taxes?" ”

"Since it is not affiliated with the local government, the tax is naturally paid in the same way as the people's land, so that the Kaifeng Mansion will not lose the rent. However, the errand is exempted, and the local service is also a customer, and it does not serve the labor. ”

In the past, the camp and field affairs were all in other places, which were originally promoted by the governor of the prefecture and county, and the income was directly counted into the local income. In Kaifeng Prefecture, it is directly managed by the Three Divisions, and the land is the land of Kaifeng Prefecture, and it is unfair to the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture to take the examination if they do not collect taxes. Of course, Xu Ping can also be directly exempted from the tax of the field affairs, but the three divisions can be credited to the Kaifeng Mansion from the account, but it is not easy to assess the officials of the field affairs, and it is easy to form an independent kingdom, so it is still the same to pay taxes after thinking about it. In this way, there is more supervision by the local government, and the management is not troublesome.

It is the ancestral family law of the Great Song Dynasty, and it rarely gives officials the opportunity to exercise dictatorship. Even when Xu Ping was in the sugar business, he also had Han Zong, and he was responsible for supervision. The good things about this approach are also the places where too many things are hindered and unfavorable to the work of officials, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

Fan Zhongyan was silent and did not serve on errands, although it was legally reasonable, it was always unfavorable to the locality. Once the official field work occupies too much land, local financial and material resources will inevitably be affected. But since it is an official camp, it can't be said without some preferential policies, Xu Ping promised to pay the same rent and tax, which is not easy, and it is a bit too much to say more.

At this time, there were already a sea of people outside the Donghua Gate, and the people all over the city came out to see the champion parade in the streets, and they couldn't ride horses. Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan simply walked with the other scholars, and Ma Rang's entourage led them and went around to the outside of Xuande Gate from other roads.

Looking at the crowd around him, he was like a crazy demon, squeezing around, and he didn't know what he was going to do when he squeezed to the front. There are even those wealthy families, waiting outside the Donghua Gate to see if they can get a ready-made son-in-law.

Li Ji is also unmarried, originally his mother meant that if he didn't win the first place this time, he would marry a wife and have children when he went home, and honestly live a life of farming and reading heirlooms like his father. Now once you are in high school, the choice of a wife is different.

Xu Ping remembered that he was a junior sergeant back then, and he couldn't help but feel like a dream. (To be continued.) )
