At the end of the month, the officials hung up the distribution list of the new science and technology scholars on the powder wall outside the yamen, plus the first class of the three dingjia, and the results were divided into four grades. The last 190 are sent to the local provincial yamen to observe the government, and if there is a shortage of county orders or the same grade, the province must be assigned immediately, and there is no need to cross the bridge with eggs like the Kegong officials, and they must be conscientious, and they have to give gifts to leave the relationship, otherwise they have to sit on the bench.

Although there are a lot of benefits in the local area, if you don't have the ability to go to heaven and the great opportunity, the prefect will basically come to an end. This is really painful for the new science and technology jinshi who is still full of ideals and has not lost his temperance.

The 171 Jinshi of the third class were sent to the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Department and other important yamen to observe the government, called the Guanzheng Jinshi, that is, to serve tea and pour water, learn to be on errands, and wait for the vacancies in the Beijing Inspection, and then fill in the vacancies. There are also those who really can't wait, and they are sent to be a parent official, because they have been mixed in Beijing for a few years, and they have some connections, and most of the places where they serve as officials are better than the fourth class, and they are promoted quickly.

Whether it is the third class or the fourth class, the last person who wants to go is the palace official, because once he is sent, he will be like their prince, no one cares about him from now on, and he has no future at all. Unless you encounter a fierce person like Yanwang Zhu Di, or a lucky star like Xingwang Zhu Houxi, who walks shit luck, there is no chance of salted fish being reborn.

If you successfully stay in Beijing, take root in the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the Tongzheng Division, and after several rounds of officialdom, the big waves will wash the sand, and if you are not crushed to death, you will be washed away. After about ten years, he will be able to sit in the position of officials in various ministries, which is not much slower than that of Hanlin from Hanlin, but he can't go further, because the door of the cabinet is only open to Jinshi with first and second grades...... Thirty-six people in the second class are selected as Jishi. Obtained the opportunity to continue his studies at the Academy for three years, during which he was taught by experienced scholars in the Academy, delved into various literary and historical classics, and learned how to handle government affairs. Three years later, those with excellent grades stayed in the hall, and were awarded Hanlin to edit or review, and officially became a Hanlin like Sandingjia, and then moved forward along the path they had walked. others were sent to the Six Ministries as directors and imperial historians; and some were sent to various places to serve as officials.

However, unlike the third and fourth ranks, Shu Jishi was the magistrate of the county, and he was taken out of Beijing with a vacancy, so he did not have to wait for a vacancy in the province, and took office directly. For officials with such a background, the appointment of the county magistrate is often just a test, as long as they do well, they will soon be promoted, or transferred back to Beijing, so they attach great importance to their reputation, are honest and honest, and do things vigorously and resolutely, just to make political achievements as soon as possible and make a name for themselves, so they have to be called 'Tiger Class'.

As for the three silent, go to the Ministry of Officials to register a book, and go directly to work in the Hanlin Academy.

On the second day of the fourth month, Xiang Qing Bo said, got up early in the morning, after a simple wash, and said to Ruohan at breakfast: "I went to the Ministry of Literature and Anthology to register today, if there is no accident, I will go to the Hanlin Academy in the afternoon to report." ”

Ruohan smiled and said, "Congratulations to Master Hanlin." ”

"But I don't want to show you off." Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I mean, it seems that we have to live in Yanjing for a long time, do you think you can move out of the inn and find another house?" ”

Ruohan smiled and said: "Don't worry about Master Hanlin, the house has been found a few days ago, but you, the master, don't look at it, and you haven't dared to settle down." ”

Shen Mo smiled: "It's just a few days of blind work, and when I get to the Hanlin Academy, I don't need to put salt in my meal all day long." He said, "You do things, I can rest assured": "You can just make a decision on this matter, I will definitely be satisfied." ”

Ruohan shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry, let's wait for you to have time to watch together." ”

Seeing Ruohan's insistence, Shen Mo naturally didn't say anything more, and after breakfast, he changed into the champion crown dress under the service of Rou Niang, took the official hat, and got into the carriage to pick up the two of Zhutao, and went to the official department together.

On the carriage, Tao Dalin said with a smile: "Today, I heard from the people of the guild hall that the people of Yanjing describe the six parts as 'rich, noble, poor, cheap, mighty, and martial'. It is said that the Ministry of Officials is expensive and the Ministry of Household is rich, the Ministry of War is military and the Ministry of Punishment is mighty, and the Ministry of Rites is poor and the Ministry of Industry is cheap. That's an interesting statement. ”

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "False, if the household is rich, why can't you even send the money of the Beijing official?" If the Ministry of Industry is cheap, why is it that Yan Ge's godson and son control the chief and deputy ministers and regard it as a ban? ”

Zhu Dashou smiled and said: "Indeed, I heard that the head of the household department is being collected by the officials of various ministries all day long, and he doesn't dare to go home for the New Year; And Xiaoge is old in the Ministry of Industry, and a project can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver, which shows that it should be the household department and the Ministry of Industry is rich. ”

Tao Dalin sneered: "Whether it is rich or cheap, it is shameful. ”

"That's right," Shen Mo smiled and said: "But let's just talk about it in private, we must not reveal it in front of outsiders, there is a mixture of fish and dragons in the capital, there is no distinction between people and ghosts, and if you don't get any words, it will lead to a catastrophe." ”

Tao Dalin has been listening to silence all the time, and when he heard this, he grimaced and said, "I know this, it's not a three-year-old child." He said with a smile and said: "They also said that the four divisions of the Ministry are 'joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness'." ”

"That's kind of interesting." Shen Mo smiled: "What are you talking about?" ”

"The four major divisions of the Ministry of Officials, literary selection, merit examination, audit honor, and seal inspection." Tao Dalin teased the palm he had just heard and said: "Because the Wenxuan Division is in charge of the promotion and removal of the award, it is called the Xi Division; The examination department is in charge of the matter of reducing the punishment and punishment, so it is called the angry division; Ji Xun is in charge of Ding Wei's death, so it is called the mourning division; The sealing department is in charge of sealing the matter of giving shade, so it is called the music division. ”

"We're going to the Anthology Division," Zhu Dashou said with a smile, "I hope something good happens." ”

When he entered the yamen of the ministry, he paid a visit to the hall official as usual, but this time Li Mo was there, he was a dignified official, so naturally he would not condescend to the three of them, but just let them meet them according to the number of courtesies...... After the three of them finished their salutes, they stood in the hall. Li Mo put on a straight face again, and took out the majesty of the official book to educate the three people: "You have won the Sanding Armor, it is really gratifying, you must have been praised to the clouds, but the official is now pouring cold water on you, lest you really regard yourself as a 'prime minister' and take up the prime minister's shelf in advance." ”

The three of them were extremely depressed, and said in their hearts that they hoped to meet good things, but they were tormented like this. I heard Li Mo say coldly: "There is a way to learn and excel, you study hard, from a child to a talent, from a talent to a scholar, the court to use your standard is article knowledge, regardless of others." But what about after joining the company? I don't look at learning, I just look at whether you have a conscience! ”

He seemed to say this to the three of them at the same time, but a pair of eyes stared at Shen Mo and said, "Tianliang! Do you know these two words? Heavenly conscience! Those who do not follow this will be a scourge, no matter how highly educated they are. The smarter you are, the more you will bring disaster to the country and the people. He scolded with a blue face: "If you still don't follow the principles of heaven, don't abide by your conscience, blindly talk nonsense, act nonsense, and are embarrassed to annihilate those annihilating the party, even if God doesn't punish you, I will punish you!" ”

This was almost a scolding of the nose, which made Shen Mo really unimaginable, it would come from the mouth of the dignified department, he couldn't imagine how this adult's deep resentment towards himself was formed?

The disparity in status between the two sides was too great, he could only endure and pray that time would pass quickly, and end this depression quickly, who knew that the more depressed was still to come, only to hear Li Mo sneer: "You must be thinking, bear with it for the time being, anyway, it is not the subordinate of this stinky face Shangshu." Then you are wrong, in addition to the official book, this official is also a bachelor of Hanlin...... "Bachelor of Hanlin is the dean of the Hanlin Academy, although he has no power, but all the comments of Hanlin are in his hands, and a bad evaluation is enough to ruin people's future, which is so terrible."

Seeing that the three of them finally changed color, Li Mo sneered proudly: "I know that the three of you are the same townspeople and the same family, not only the three of you, but also the first and third in the second class, and the other two, all entered the Hanlin Academy. Let's talk ugly things ahead, if you only remember the private feelings of your fellow villagers, form a party and pull factions, compare friends for annihilation, don't remember Jun's grace, don't have a conscience, and do something embarrassing, it will only be easy for you to be ruined! ”

Tao Dalin couldn't help but sneer at him, but he was silently pulled his sleeves and signaled him to suppress his anger and not to give people a handle.

Seeing that he didn't take advantage of it, Li Mo waved his hand and said, "Keep everything I said today in mind, grab your tails, and go out!" ”

came out of Li Mo, went to the Anthology Division to check his personal information, signed and pressed his handprint, and he could be regarded as selling himself to the heavenly family.

Finally received the coveted Hanlin official uniform, but Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin couldn't laugh anyway, they were happy to register, but they were scolded for a bloody squirt, who is not annoyed?

was silent but very indifferent, and gently persuaded the two brothers: "This guy is famous for his bad mouth, and the dog that can bark doesn't bite, let him call it." After so many things, he has deeply experienced the sufferings and joys and sorrows in the world, and Gu Jing Bubo, whose heart has already been tempered, will not be angry at all for the evil words of others, even if it is enough to make him fall from heaven to hell.

He firmly believes that he will not be defeated, and he firmly believes that the other party will definitely be defeated by himself! This is called self-confidence, even if it is unfounded.
