To release official vacancies with jinshi, the basic best is only the local magistrate.

If it is the magistrate of a large county, it is basically earned.

If it is a small county with relatively small grain production and population, it is better to stay in the capital as an alternate official of the six ministries and develop directly in the central yamen.

Those Jinshi who have no relationship and doorway, and no money to do, basically have to wait for a real shortage of officials may take more than half a year or even four or five years, if it is related, you can settle the matter in April and May before returning to your hometown.

This is the unspoken rule of officialdom, mainly to compare whose relationship is harder and whose silver is more.

There are so many official vacancies, and it seems that it is merit-based admission and merit-based distribution, but in fact, how to "select the best" is still determined by people, not by law.

Even if there are some laws, they cannot be the criterion for the final decision, and the most important thing is to see who can come up with the silver that satisfies the people in power.

Ji Ning asked, "How many silver taels did Ziqian and Gongtai prepare this time?" ”

Tang Xie and Han Yu glanced at each other, and the two of them didn't seem to want to hide Ji Ning, Tang Xie said: "For the sake of this really short of Zhixian, I prepared 40,000 taels of silver in advance, and if you add some miscellaneous silver taels, it is basically about 50,000 taels, and Brother Gongtai has also prepared more than 20,000 taels of silver......

Hearing this number, Ji Ning still sighed a little, there are still many rich people in the Great Yong Dynasty.

"With the silver that the two of you came up with, it is estimated that even Hanlin and Hanlin can buy it back!" Ji Ning sighed lightly.

"The most important thing for Hanlin is to have real talent and learning, and the Hanlin that you buy back can't last long, but Yongning your champion is genuine, and others can't envy it!" Tang Xie smiled, "You can rest assured, the two of us are actually not very enthusiastic about this Hanlin Academy exam at all, and it is already very good to be able to enter the court as an official now." It's a blessing to know you and get to know Yongning and make progress together......"

After specifically agreeing on the time and place to go to Li Jing's mansion, Ji Ning and the two said goodbye first.

Everyone has already chosen the path they want to take in the future, and there may be fewer opportunities to meet together in the future, and several people may have some time together before returning to their hometowns, and at this time they are also busy running around for their own errands.

Ji Ning is about to enter the Temple of Literature, Tang Xie and Han Yu are now running in the court, spending money for their official vacancies, and so on.

……

……

Ji Ning went to Zhao Yuanrong's small residence with some emotion in his heart.

He still hadn't met Zhao Yuanrong himself, it was clean inside, and all the conditions were the same as when he came last time, Ji Ning was very sure that no one had been here since he left.

"Princess Wenren, what's wrong? Did she want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Ji Ning was a little unsure of Zhao Yuanrong's attitude, which was why he always felt that he couldn't grasp Zhao Yuanrong.

Zhao Yuanrong is like a kite in the sky, the moon flies farther away, and occasionally feels that there is a line that can be connected to Ji Ning's heart, but it may be broken at any time.

It is also because the court and the central government have been agreeing on the disposition of the rebellious ministers in the past few days, and even the vassal kings who have entered the Hajj such as King Hui and King Chong have no intention of returning, and the court does not allow the lord to leave the capital for the time being, as if he will be subject to the review of the court at any time.

The soldiers and horses of the Twelve Guards General's Mansion in the city seem to be ready for battle, Ji Ning doesn't know what the military power in the hands of the prince is now, but judging from the current situation, the prince Zhao Yuangeng wants to rebel, and it is still very difficult, although Zhao Kangzheng is stupid, but the military power is quite firm, and Zhao Yuangeng has not had the opportunity to directly usurp the throne.

"Let's hope she's okay!" Ji Ning didn't stay in the small house for long, he was now going to convict Zhang Hong, but if even King Hui himself could not be convicted, then even if Zhang Hong was falsely accused of being the person in King Hui's mansion, it was likely that he would escape, and he would make Zhang Hong vigilant by doing so.

On the way back, Ji Ning was thinking: "It's also very helpless to meet this kind of mediocre emperor, many things are not played according to common sense, and now Uncle Li and King Hui's mansion are still safe and sound, which people will be implicated in the rebellion case, it remains to be discussed, don't just kill a few shrimp soldiers and crabs in the end will be perfunctory, then I have to deal with Zhang Hong, it will still be very difficult!" ”

……

……

Ji Ning was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Hong.

Because Ji Ning knows that in the near future, the capital should be safe.

But between Zhao Kangzheng and the crown prince Zhao Yuangeng, there will always be contradictions, and Ji Ning saw this sign at the Zen Ceremony that day.

The contradiction between Zhao Yuangeng and Zhao Kangzheng is very deep, Zhao Kangzheng is more defensive against his son, and the weight of the defense is even more than Uncle Li and King Hui.

Maybe if someone said that the prince was going to rebel, Zhao Kangzheng would not hesitate to kill this son, but now it is Uncle Li and King Hui who are rebelling, and the emperor is not in a hurry.

At this time, in King Chong's Mansion, everything was very calm, Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Yuanxuan had no idea that their father, Lao Chongwang, was also involved in this incident, and he was one of the previous masterminds.

"I'm going back to Jinling in a few days, and in about half a year, my fiefdom will be in hand, and then I can open my own mansion, and at that time I can marry whoever I want, hmph, Ji Ning's bad guy, knowing that he is the only one in my heart, but now he ignores me, I hate him to death......" After Zhao Yuanxuan came back from the banquet, he was angry with the little straw man every day.

In the past, her little maid Xiao Li also persuaded two sentences, and then Xiao Li herself learned to be shrewd, her own county lord is committing nymphomania, if she goes up to speak, she will be scolded, it is better to watch quietly on the side, think about some of her own things.

And Zhao Yuanxuan wouldn't care what Xiao Li was doing, she only knew that Ji Ning, who she liked now, didn't seem to have much feelings for her.

"Xiao Li, do you think he is a bad person?" Zhao Yuanxuan suddenly felt that he couldn't enjoy scolding, and wanted to bring an accomplice in.

Xiao Qian tilted his head and said, "County Lord, where is Ji Gongzi a bad person?" People didn't say they had to marry you! ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Yuanxuan glared at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li said with grievances: "People are telling the truth, Ji Gongzi is now the champion, and didn't he say it, his goal is to have three wives and four concubines, and there can be many girls by her side in the future, but if he marries the county lord, it means that he can only be monogamous in the future, and the county lord will not allow him to mess with flowers and grass outside!" ”

"But, but ......"

Zhao Yuanxuan wanted to defend herself, but found that on this issue, all the defenses were pale and weak, but she finally thought of one and asked, "Isn't there still you?" ”
