The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

June was gradually getting hotter, but Sheng Yuan, who was afraid of the heat, was extremely happy. The day when Gein would report to the Imperial Academy was just around the corner.

She is looking forward to this, not because she is addicted to being an official, but because she is more willing to shine in the workplace than to let her grandfather and father show off everywhere.

Sheng Yuan really didn't understand that it was enough to report to his ancestor once, but his father and grandfather had to do it three times.

The first round is for the Duke of Sheng, the second is for the Marquis of Yongxing, and the third is for the entire Sheng family.

She doesn't know whether the ancestors have bothered them, she just knows that she is going to be confused!
Fortunately, the day to report to work is approaching.

As Sanding Jia, the registration place for Sheng Yuan and No. [-] Tanhua is the Hanlin Academy.

The second-class and third-class Jinshi must continue to prepare for the imperial examination, strive to become a good scholar, and continue to study in the Imperial Academy.

Of course, the number of Shujishi is limited, and it would be good if one-sixth of the more than [-] people can be recruited.

As for the remaining second-class and third-class Jinshi who did not apply for the exam or did not pass the exam, they are waiting for the final distribution.

The principle of distribution is also very particular. For example, if the second-class Jinshi stays in Beijing for later use, they mostly go to various departments to take up the post of director; Pedestrians and other positions, if they are released to other places, they will be appointed as push officials and county magistrates.

Among these positions, the highest Zhizhou is from the fifth rank, and the lowest pedestrian is also from the seventh rank. It sounds like they are not much different from Sanding Jia and Shu Jishi, but in fact the difference is still very big.

Simply put, the upper limit is different.

From Yan to Chen, from Chen to Chu, although the dynasties have changed several times, what remains unchanged is the invisible rule that "no Jinshi cannot enter the Hanlin, and no Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet".

Therefore, the civil servants of the Imperial Academy are often called prime ministers.

But having said that, how many people can there be in the imperial court's cabinet, even if the cabinet ministers are changed frequently, how many nobles can they accept?

Not to mention that the second- and third-tier Jinshi is a stubble every three years.

Therefore, most of these Jinshi who are endlessly deficient one after another, still have to be assigned to work in various places in Dachu.

Of course, it is impossible for the imperial court to just let out Jinshi who have no work experience. As a result of going to work with their eyes numb, they either become local puppets or make a mess.

Therefore, the internship before the formal work is indispensable.

As for the official internship, in the case of Dachu, it is to inherit the system of observing politics from the Yan and Chen dynasties.

"The time to observe politics is uncertain, at least it will start in half a year." An Yu and Lu Sheng, who do not plan to participate in the selection of Shujishi, exchanged the topic of entering the officialdom with Sheng Yuan, "But although observing politics is not a formal position, the court will It was given to Lumi according to his birth."

Although it was clear that An Yu and Lu Sheng were not short of money, Sheng Yuan still asked curiously: "Then how much?!"

"For example, both of us are second-class Jinshi, and we will be paid according to the standard of the seventh rank; while the third-class Jinshi is based on the eighth rank."

"That's it!" Although Sheng Yuan didn't know the specific monthly salary of these two levels, she knew her own salary, "My Imperial Academy is from the sixth rank, and the monthly salary is eight stones."

"Ah... how much is the eight stones?" An Yu has always received money, and no one has ever given him pocket money according to the stone.

"I remember that one stone is seven renminbi." But Lu Sheng knew better.

He thinks that the monthly salary is too small to calculate, so he simply calculates the annual salary: "Sister Yuan's monthly salary is eight shi, and the annual salary is 96 shi. Calculated on the basis of one stone and seven renminbi, then one year's calculation is 670 taels.

Sixteen taels here is one tael, so 670 taels is... 42 taels? ! "

At this point, he and An Yu shook their heads to look at Sheng Yuan, with sympathy on their faces: "Sister Yuan, you have been busy for a year, and the money you got is not enough for us to have a big meal at the restaurant!"

Sheng Yuan: "..."

Rao had done the calculations before, but Sheng Yuan still felt speechless after hearing the sympathetic words of An Yu and Lu Sheng.

Sure enough, the first feeling of entering the society is that it is not easy to make money.

"Isn't there still money for raising money from the sixth rank up? The lowest is 500 taels, and the highest can be 2 taels!"

The three of them sighed at each other for a while, An Yu scratched his head, comforted Sheng Yuan and said, "Let's work hard, we don't have to go too high, as long as we are both of the sixth grade, we can get a total of 300 taels a year. "

"The Yanglian Bank is for local officials. If you stay in Beijing, you can have firewood and silver, but it's just an extra year's salary." Lu Sheng rolled his eyes, directly piercing An Yu's dream.

"Oh, sure enough, if you want to live a good life, it's not enough to guard your salary." After calculations, An Yu and Sheng Yuan's combined income may not be 200 taels a year, so she couldn't help sighing, "No wonder senior How many part-time jobs do you have!"

This guy An Yu is quite down-to-earth, but Sheng Yuan thinks more: "I just went to report, and I heard that some people in the same year planned to go to the local area to practice after leaving the museum, and I'm afraid it's because of the higher salary. "

Not everyone has the ambition to enter the cabinet, and no matter how great the ambition is, one must recognize the reality.

It would be great if he could enter the Hanlin Academy, but if he couldn't even pass the exam for a good scholar, why bother to stay in the capital and live a difficult life!
In all dynasties, living in Kyoto is not easy. Instead of living in Kyoto, it is better to go out of Beijing to save some money.

"Have you two decided which department to watch politics?" Sheng Yuan sighed at the poor salary, and asked An Yu and Lu Sheng curiously.

"The imperial court asked me to choose from the six ministries and various divisions. I can do it, but brother Sheng wants to join the military department. I'm thinking about whether to go with him or not."

"I remember that the imperial court arranged for the official department to assign you to observe the government. The six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are in pairs, and the Tongzhengsi and Dali Temple are in groups of one." .

"So, even if I want to declare to the Ministry of War, I may not be with Brother Cheng? Then I'd better go to Dali Temple!"

"..." Although Lu Sheng didn't plan to drag his friend along, he was quite speechless when he heard that he changed his mind so happily.

"I heard that some departments can learn a lot from watching politics, while others are not easy. My colleagues in the Ministry of War told me that they are just bowing and bowing and being promoted." Sheng Yuan simply talked to Lu. Sheng started to speak.

Lu Sheng could understand that Sheng Yuan was reminding him that instead of choosing that place, he should choose another place, as it would be easier to learn useful things and make contacts and friends.

"Then I'll go to the Ministry of Accounting!" Lu Sheng ignored An Yu's expectant eyes and chose the Ministry of Accounting without hesitation.

Can it be arranged separately, in case it can be done!
It is said that the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used. When he joins the army in the future, he will inevitably deal with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance. It is not bad to get acquainted now.
