Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 159 0154 [Walk to work]

After Jinshi went out of Beijing to take up their posts, they became bored in an instant, and they didn't usually have many friends to meet.

Bai Chongyan and Min Zishun stayed in the rented house all day long.They study laws, official documents, decrees, etc. around the clock, waiting for the next test, just like preparing for civil servants.

Zhu Ming went out on horseback, going to work for the first time.

Bai Sheng and Shi Biao wanted to follow, and Zhu Ming ordered, "Go back to sleep for a while, and after you get up, go to the coal field to get some charcoal ashes and come back."

Bai Sheng wondered, "Tan Ash is at home."

"It's not the charcoal ash left over from burning," Zhu Ming explained, "it's the charcoal ash scattered on the ground when the charcoal was piled up. This thing is useless, and it needs to be cleaned and discarded regularly. You can each bring a bucket back. In addition, Then go to the suburbs to get all kinds of sand."

After explaining, Zhu Ming led his horse to the street and rushed to Taixue in the twilight of morning light.

Taixue is affiliated to Guozijian, and the school site was originally in Guozijian.

There are many schools under the jurisdiction of Guozijian. In addition to Taixue, there are also martial arts, law, Jingcheng Primary School, Biyong (Taixue preparatory class) and so on.

Due to the expansion of enrollment, Taixue still has a branch campus, which is near Yujie Street, and many residential buildings have been demolished.

Today's Tai students, some live in the old campus, and some live in the north campus.

But the dormitory is still not enough, and the third campus is being built in the southern suburbs.It has been under construction for several years, and all the students will have to move there after the work is completed.As for the North Campus in the city, it will be vacated and changed to Taoism, which is dedicated to training Taoist priests.

When Zhu Ming came to the old campus, he didn't go to Taixue, but went straight to the principal's office of Guozijian.

"Xuezheng, please come in, Da Sicheng has been waiting for a long time!" The principal's entourage warmly welcomed him in.

Guozijian Jijiu is also called Dasicheng.

At the beginning of the year, Cai Jing's confidant Liu Siming was in charge.

Now, Liu Siming was demoted to Zhizhou and replaced by Lu Yun who often impeached Cai Jing.

"Oh, I finally waited for success!"

As soon as the two met, Lu Yun warmly held Zhu Ming's hand.

This Guozijian Jijiu has Cai Dang as his subordinates, so he can't start his work at all, and he desperately hopes to bring in more newcomers.

Zhu Ming was held by the hand and couldn't make a bow, so he could only bow and say, "Ming pays homage to Da Sicheng!"

Lu Yun smiled and led him inside: "Sit inside quickly."

"Thank you." Zhu Ming went in and sat down.

Lu Yun said without any scruples: "The Guozijian and the Taixue are many treacherous parties. They are successful, upright and strong, and they are the people of my generation. When you take office, don't be scruples, and don't be afraid of being hated by the traitors. If anything happens, I will take care of myself." Will bear it!"

This dude is too straightforward, Zhu Ming cupped his hands and said, "I would like to follow Da Sicheng's instruction."

Lu Yun is a big fan who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. Several years ago, he had already become Taichang Shaoqing.Because of the impeachment of Cai Jing, he was demoted to the county magistrate of Ruijin. Hearing the name of this county, he knew it was a remote place.

Because of such deeds, Song Huizong made him in charge of Guozijian and Taixue, and shocked a lot of Cai Jing's followers here.

Lu Yun said bluntly: "Zhang Gang, a doctor of Taixue, used to be my student, you can communicate more."

"Yes!" Zhu Ming said.

Zhang Gang was a graduate of Taixue last year. He was very popular with Song Huizong, and he was awarded the number one scholar and his first birth.

Historically, this person first criticized Cai Jing and then impeached Qin Hui. He was dismissed from office for 20 years.Because he offended Zhao Gou, he was demoted to Zhizhou, and resigned in anger.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yun personally led Zhu Ming to Gao Shu, the son of the Imperial College, to go through the entry procedures.

"Is there any official document?" Gao Shu didn't give him a good look.

Zhu Ming took out the document: "I have received the official document."

Gao Shu threw it to his subordinates: "Understood, just wait."

Lu Yun tapped the table twice: "The signature is stamped!"

Although Gao Shu and the others wanted to evade Lu Yun, they didn't dare to break the procedure openly, so they had to sign their names honestly, and then asked their subordinates to stamp their seals.

Lu Yun led Zhu Ming out, and as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he said, "Don't worry about Xiao Xiaoxiao, they are all clown ears."

Gao Shu heard it clearly in the room, and slammed the table and shouted: "Old thief!"

Lu Yun ignored him, but smiled and said to Zhu Ming: "I haven't reached the age of destiny, this old thief may be scolding someone else. Maybe the surname is Cai, maybe the surname is Wang."

Zhu Ming scratched his head, the struggle here is very fierce, and his face has been completely torn apart.

But, since it was the emperor's arrangement, and Cai Jing is the strong side, the bigger the trouble, the better.No matter what the trouble is, Song Huizong is behind it.

Lu Yun introduced as he walked: "On the side of the Imperial College, there are only the upper house and the inner house of the Taixue, and the outer house has been moved to the north. This autumn at the latest, all the three houses will be moved to the southern suburbs outside the city."

Zhu Ming asked: "The southern suburbs are quite far away."

Lu Yun said: "It's very far away. Go out from Nanxun Gate and walk for at least two or three quarters of an hour."

In the house where Zhu Ming lives now, it takes two or three quarters to go to Nanxunmen, which means that he will have to walk for more than an hour to work in the future.

Fortunately, he brought the cornucopia to Tokyo, otherwise the daily commuting fee would be a lot.

Lu Yun also said: "The newly built Taixue in the southern suburbs has more than 1000 houses. If you don't think it's shabby, you can live there, and you don't charge for board and lodging."

Zhu Ming was very happy to hear that, and when Bai Chongyan and Min Zishun were released, he could sublet the current house and move directly to the southern suburbs to live in the school dormitory.

As for Chen Yuan, he can also rent a house in the southern suburbs, and he happens to give lectures near Taixue, because lectures are no longer allowed in the city.

After some more instructions, Lu Yun returned to the Imperial College, and Zhu Ming rode to the North Campus.

There are 4000 students in Taixue, 3000 in the outer dormitory, 600 in the inner dormitory, and 400 in the upper dormitory.

Taixue Siye and Taixue Cheng are concurrently held by Guozi Siye and Guozijian Cheng.

There are ten doctors of Taixue who are responsible for lectures.

There are five students in Taixue Xuezheng, who focus on school regulations, style of study, and academic examinations.

There are five Xuelu people, as Xuezheng's deputy.

Then there are ordinary teachers.

There are also clerks, similar to the president of the student union and the president of the student government.

There are Zhai (classes) and houses (levels) in Taixue, which adopts the credit system, and credits can be obtained in both quarterly and annual exams.When the credits are accumulated to a certain level, you can be promoted to a higher class, and you can graduate when you complete the credits.

As the new Xuezheng, Zhu Ming is only in charge of the lower classes in the outer dormitory of Taixue, similar to the dean of the first-year university.

Riding to the North Campus, Zhu Ming called a janitor and took him to the office.

"Meet Xuezheng!"

His deputy Xuelu is called Xie Lun, who was promoted by a graduate of Taixue, and he is a member of Cai Jing's gang.

Ju Ming bowed his hand and said, "Bring all kinds of books!"

A young boy of the Cai party, at best, he is obedient and vigilant, and he dare not openly sing the opposite. Xie Lun quickly brought someone to bring the relevant documents.

Ju Ming managed quite a lot of students, a total of 1500 students, including 200 self-funded students.

He spent most of the day looking through the student roster, which recorded detailed information including three generations of the family.

At least [-]% of the students are from official families!
Another [-]% came from local prominent families.

The remaining [-]% are the real poor children.

Looking at the promotion and exams, I can't find any mistakes or omissions.Cai Dang doesn't need to violate the rules in the procedure, just leak the questions and cheat.

In the middle of the afternoon, Zhang Gang, a doctor of Taixue, came.

The two now belong to the same camp, and they both have to fight against the Cai Party forces in the school.

After a brief conversation, Zhang Gang said: "Xuelu needs to be appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and the Cai party controls the Ministry of Officials. Unless there is a major impeachment, it is impossible to replace Xuelu. We must start with the staff and replace them with real officials. Hard-working and good students."

Zhang Gang is only in charge of teaching and has no personnel authority. Now he suggests that Zhu Ming be replaced as the student council president.

Zhu Ming asked: "Except for the two of us, are the Doctor, Xuezheng, and Xuelu all Cai Dang?"

Zhang Gang said: "There are also a few doctors of imperial studies who don't care about common matters, but just lecture on scriptures every day. They hate Cai Dang, but they dare not offend Cai Dang."

Zhu Ming asked again: "Is cheating in the exam serious?"

Zhang Gang replied: "It's a bit serious, but a really good student can also be promoted to the fasting school or dormitory, just wait a year or two."

That is, the Cai party still has room to give serious students an upward channel.

Taixue is okay, but Guozijian is even more serious.

Guozijian is all the sons of the officials of the Beijing Dynasty above the seventh rank, and the number is still small. Only one or two can obtain the status of Jinshi every year.The children of the Cai party gave priority to entering higher education, and they also had to win over the dignitaries in the DPRK and China, which prevented the children of middle and lower officials from graduating.

That's why public outrage was aroused. Numerous Beijing court officials went up to impeach. The emperor took the opportunity to punish the Cai party in the education system, and by the way, replaced the Guozijian sacrificial wine.

Zhu Ming asked: "Among the lower-class students in the outer house, who is the most outstanding?"

Zhang Gang said: "Chen Dong is the most talented student. This student could have been promoted to the inner house long ago. But because he publicly scolded Cai Jing many times, he has not even been able to enter the upper class in the outer house. His credits are enough and he cannot be promoted. The reason for giving up is bad conduct."

After some communication between the two, Ju Ming learned more about the situation.

On the first day of work, Zhu Ming had no contact with the students, and rode home in the evening.

Bai Chongyan and Min Zishun are still reading books to prepare for the exam, and they don't know when they will be able to go ashore for the exam.

"Sanggong, all the things have been moved back!" Bai Sheng no longer called him brother, he thought it would be more honorable to address him as "Sanggong".

Zhu Ming summoned Chen Yuan and others to hammer all kinds of gravel into powder together.The coal cinders burned at home were crushed and piled up on the porch.

Ju Ming wrote several more sheets, indicating the types of these raw materials.

He needs to do experiments to find out the best material ratio of briquettes.

Then draw a few more sketches, all of which are molds for making briquettes, and hand them to Bai Sheng, saying: "Tomorrow, I will hire a carpenter to make these things, and bring a bucket of sawdust home."

Bai Chongyan asked curiously: "What is the purpose of success?"

Ju Ming explained: "Develop a kind of charcoal material that can be used for cooking and cooking. Do you want to do business together?"

Bai Chongyan shook his head: "I still don't know how the exam is, and I don't know where it can be released. It's better to forget about the business."

Min Zishun said: "Don't talk about the co-funding, if you are short of money for success, I can lend you a hundred guan."

Bai Chongyan also said: "I can borrow fifty guan, but I can't take out any more."

"Thank you two brothers for your generosity!" Ju Ming no longer has to worry about the start-up capital, including Chen Yuan's promise, he can borrow 350 yuan.Make up for it yourself, enough to rent a small shop outside the city.

That Ganoderma lucidum was sold for 180 sticks, and was bought by a medicine dealer who took advantage of it.
