Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 322 Passing five levels and killing six generals
There was a shortage of manpower in the store, so it was decided that day, and Jin Xiucai was arranged to work in the afternoon of that day, and of course it was called Jin Accountant now.

Since the time just happened to coincide, we even arranged lunch together.

Eating the white and fragrant white rice porridge, roasted sweet potatoes and bacon soup, Jin Xiucai's heart was full of sorrows.

When he came to inquire yesterday, he had asked if the shop included meals.I am happy when I know that there will be a morning meal and a lunch in the store.

Life in Lushan County is difficult. In the past two years, most people have been struggling to eat. It is not necessary to think about the good days of three meals a day in the past. It is very easy to have two meals a day.

What's more, people may not be able to make up enough for one meal a day.

Now that I work in this shop, I don't have a monthly fee, but I can also provide two meals. Isn't this almost the same as a day's food and drink?

Of course, according to Chang's ideal, Jin Xiucai only thinks that the food in the shop is the worst old coarse grain, and when he meets people with poor conscience, he sometimes mixes it with hay and mud.

When he came out to work, it was a great favor for the master to provide him with food. Jin Xiucai didn't think there was anything wrong with the lack of rations.

After all, food is expensive, thinking that no matter what, he will save some rations for the family, and when the monthly money is paid, he will send it all to his wife, and he doesn't need to keep anything for himself.

However, what Jin Xiucai didn't expect was that the food provided by the master's family was so good on the first day of work.

Such grains of snow-white rice without any peculiar smell must be new rice.He hasn't eaten this kind of new rice for two full years, not to mention him, even his child who is less than three years old has never eaten a bite of new rice.

How can Jin Xiucai not be shaken by this, it is unbelievable and unbelievable, but at the same time, he can't wait to pack the porridge and the old broth and send it to his wife and children at home.
-
Those who open the door to do business naturally cannot have three meals a day compared to the normal time. For this reason, the clerks in the mall have lunches on a staggered peak every day.

Starting at noon, the dial is changed every two quarters of an hour, and four dials are rotated in this way to ensure that there are enough people in the store anytime and anywhere.

Another point, Jin Xiucai also misunderstood.

It is difficult to transport the rice grains that cross the border. Even if Gu Qi has no intention of depriving the underground employees of food, there is really no way to supply high-quality white rice to every employee.

Otherwise, just eating and drinking by the shop assistants would have to eat up all the rice grains that were so hard-won.

The common guys in the store still eat roasted sweet potatoes and steamed buns with miscellaneous grains for two meals a day, and at most a bowl of bacon soup. After all, there are so many guys.

The basic standard, refer to the free vegetable soup in the school cafeteria, it is good to have a taste.

As for why Jin Xiucai can eat high-standard employee meals such as white rice porridge + roasted sweet potato + luxurious upgraded bacon soup on the first day of work.

It's all because Shunzi, the shopkeeper, respects scholars from the bottom of his heart.

What's more, Jin Xiucai is still a scholar. Even though a scholar is considered the lowest category among all the achievements in Dakang's register, the gold content is also scary.

Especially in this dynasty, compared with previous dynasties, the literacy rate of the people is already high. Except for particularly remote areas, with the Central Plains as the dividing line, the literacy rate is higher as you go south.

The boundary of Yuzhou Prefecture is close to the dividing line. Although Yuzhou has always been inferior to Jiangzhou Prefecture in terms of economic development and people's living standards, there are no less farmers and students in the territory than Jiangzhou Prefecture.

However, this reading also requires talent. If it is about literacy, as long as the family is willing to spend money and you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult, but it is not so simple if you want to test for fame.

The first is a test, and the first test is about the children's test.

This level has to pass the two thresholds of the county test and the government test, and the two are indispensable.This level alone can wipe out more than half of the students. If you encounter a highly competitive field, it is not uncommon for only one student out of 50 people to be selected, or even one student out of a hundred people.

After passing the Tongsheng Examination, there is the Second Examination, which is the Academy Examination.

At this level, it is no different from a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Not to mention one in a thousand, it is at least one in a thousand.Don't think that picking one out of a thousand may sound ordinary, but there are only 600 million households registered in this dynasty with household registration.

And here, illiterates accounted for at least two-thirds, at most half of the one-third could pass the first test, and in this half, more than half of the same children passed the test.

And the second test is to choose the best among this very small number of people, and take the one-thousandth.

This degree of difficulty is not much different from that of the college entrance examination only taking the main line, and it is even more difficult.After all, many people have never been able to pass the hospital examination throughout their lives, such as the old Tongsheng who lived at the end of the street as Shunzi mentioned yesterday.

Naturally, under the difficult assessment standards and admission conditions, the welfare system for scholars is also quite good.

For example, a scholar can not kneel in court, and this has already distinguished the difference in status between a scholar and ordinary people.

In addition, scholars can also exempt themselves and their spouses from corvee service. In addition, the imperial court will also provide corresponding financial subsidies to students with fame every year.

Taking the scholar's merit as an example, he can receive two shi of grain every month.According to the conversion of Dakang grain, it is almost 240 catties of rice grain.

Of course, in actual operation, it is impossible for the imperial court to directly distribute rice and grain from door to door, and it will eventually be converted into real money and distributed.

Moreover, the conversion of the food price is not calculated according to the market price, but according to the official figure.This official price refers to the price of official grain collection, and the official conversion price for purchasing rice grain per catty is seven cents.

240 catties of rice grains are less than two taels in silver. Naturally, the two taels cannot be distributed directly. They are reviewed all the way from top to bottom, and after layers of exploitation, it is considered good if they are finally distributed to scholars who have enough for one tael.

Of course, no matter what, the money is free.It does not prevent students who pass the exam as a scholar from finding another job to make money.Besides, one tael of silver is worth a month or two of day labor for ordinary coolies.Enough to make ordinary people envious.

These are all off-topic.

Shunzi couldn't study by himself, so he respected scholars even more. In addition, the type of work that scholars do now is bookkeeping. Compared with ordinary employees, this already belongs to the middle-level leadership class, so the treatment is naturally different.

For example, Jin Xiucai had lunch today, like Shunzi, a quarter of an hour earlier than all the grassroots employees. The place where he ate was not the communal table in the yard, but a small restaurant opened beside the small kitchen.

At this time, there were only Gu Qi, Shunzi, and Jin Xiucai eating on the table.

　Thanks for the monthly pass of "Shadow of Xining".
