Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 354 Everything is done
I don't know whether it was Gu Wenxuan's intention not to offend others, or his humble, open-minded and courteous personality that conquered everyone, so they had a good lunch.

The county government here is handling a series of documents and other procedures for the four of them. The four of them also went to the county school with the teacher and others to complete the "student status" settlement procedures.

No exception. Even though Gu Wenyu had made up his mind to go to Jingshan Academy to study, his "student status" still had no objection to settling in the county school.

No matter how good Jingshan Academy is, it is not a public school. Passing the academy examination and becoming a scholar does not mean that you will always have fame. There is also the issue of annual examination.

There is an ironclad rule in Daliang.

The annual examination results are only valid from public county schools, government schools, and the Imperial College. No matter how famous the private academies are, they are of no use if they get good results.

Compared with going to a provincial school far away in the capital to take the annual exam, it is definitely better to take the annual exam at a local county school.

After all, "bullying" is indispensable everywhere. In the prefectural school, most of the students are local students in the prefectural city. In the county school, they are all students from the same county.

It was noon, and the professor held a banquet in the county school hall to show his praise. Of course, it was impossible for all the famous local students on the college's examination board to be present this year.

Basically everyone who lives in the county town has arrived, including students who are currently studying in the county school. Everyone exchanges cups and cups, chatting and laughing about studying. It is very lively.

As for the so-called "eat without talking, sleep without talking." How can we drink and share joy without talking?

After leaving the table, we drank tea and chatted for a while. Basically, we made an appointment for the next admission season - to leave school in the summer of August and officially report to the county school to enroll.

The official school is no better than Jingshan Academy in that it allows early admission. It basically has three admission seasons a year, the first month before the farming starts, the eighth month when the summer heat retreats, and the eleventh month when the inkstones freeze.

The summer in August ends, which means it's August 15th. By then, students can still learn how to cook in the county and have a fixed dormitory to live in until they graduate.

In other words, not only is the monthly ration of six dou of rice provided, but also food and housing are provided. In addition, eighty acres of tax are exempted, and certain benefits can be obtained from being a guarantee.

It means that becoming a rural student not only gives you the ability to support yourself, but also if the population is small and it is difficult to be rich and powerful, it is still no problem to join a well-off family with a certain social status.

Of course, Gu Wenxuan did not mention the issue of whether to live in the county school in the future, including how to coordinate the travel between the county school and Zhoujiacun study.

Generally speaking, it is different to have a backer. If you really want to talk about it, now the county magistrate is still Uncle Cheng's uncle and brother who has never been out of the fifth class, and the relationship is close.

After a day's tedious procedures were finally completed, a series of paperwork and other procedures from the county government were also completed, and the four of them received the updated information without exception.

Among them, the resume document plate is particularly important. It is different from the temporary paper resume document previously issued by Zhending Prefecture, which can only be used temporarily.

After replacing this sign, with it, no matter where you go from now on, you will no longer be subject to road restrictions. You can travel freely throughout Daliang. It can be seen that officials do not kneel down, and you can directly contact the local county magistrate in case of trouble.

Of course, to put it this way, becoming a scholar does not mean a lifetime of peace. Even if you are the first minister of the cabinet, you will still have the pressure of the emperor. It can only be said that you have a certain social status.

It is much better than the past when I read history books or watched TV dramas and thought that scholars are useless. When I really get to Daliang and spend time at the bottom, I understand what it means to be hierarchical and differentiate between superior and inferior. If you want to change your destiny, you must become a scholar. How difficult is it to jump into the class of "scholar"?

If there is no collection of books from Qian and Gao's house to prepare for the exam, and he has the advantage of many experiences in his previous life, his brain is not stupid, his understanding ability is not bad, and his memory is also good, let alone the head of the far case, he will learn the resources from the village. Open to the public, being able to be named on the government examination list is already a smoke from the ancestors. After leaving the county office, Zhou Changping and Gu Wenyu wanted to go back to the village first. Gu Wenxuan did not stop him. He came to the county today and had some unfinished business.

The carriage moved slowly on the spacious road towards the newly acquired house, and arrived at its destination in less than a cup of tea.

There was no need for Gu Dachang to point it out, even Zhou Yujiang, who was traveling with him, could see that the spacious streets along the way were lined with houses lined with stone lions at their entrances.

Passing through one of the Zhao's houses, we walked a hundred meters further. When the carriage stopped, we could still see the stone lion in front of the Zhao's house diagonally opposite. Did you choose this location?

Next to it is Shopkeeper Wang's house, and it's less than a quarter of an hour's walk from the county school. It's a good place that his third sister circled for Gu Dachang to choose!
Since he had known that Gu Wenxuan was coming today, Gu Dachang informed this place in advance that everything was ready and you could move in directly if you wanted.

Unlike Gu Wenxuan who only came here to take a rest and visit shopkeeper Wang, Chang Qing, the general steward who also came to the county today, came here just to observe whether the concierge and other servants could be used.

Another purpose is to guide Gu Dahua and see if Gu Dahua can shoulder the responsibility of being a big manager.

This chief steward is not the chief steward who manages the workshop. He positions Gu Dahua not only to make daily purchases of food and clothing, but also to be able to deal with the government.

Things like the shop's property management capabilities, financial statistics, which house to visit and what gifts to prepare when out on inspections, etc. all need to be made well-mannered and sophisticated.

Now it seems that I have been running errands with the steward Yun Kelai in Zhending Mansion for a period of time, and I have been trained by the old housekeeper (Zhou Mansion). Although there is still a long way to go with his requirements, I am passable, and today I am here The county government is more sophisticated than Gu Dachang.

Okay.

I also know that there are some things and certain things that the master cannot express or say out loud. As a manager, he must first contact the subordinates and government officials without causing the master to lose face.

This time the house is not big. In the eyes of the general manager Chang Qing, it is only a small courtyard with three rooms. There is no need to keep two servants to take care of this side of the house.

In this regard, it was originally planned to re-adjust and train manpower in the near future, and there were so many similar trivial matters that Gu Wenxuan was eager to leave them to Chang Qing.

After all, he is a journeyman and a professional.

Soon, Chang Qing, the general manager, arranged the personnel here neatly, selected a few people to take back, and divided tasks among the others.

It was similar to what Gu Wenxuan had imagined. The method adopted was to disperse the servants of the two houses. It would be better if the servants of the two houses could cover the sky with one hand.

When we arrived at Yun Laike again, it was almost Youshi hour at the end of the day, which was also the busiest time for the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Wang took some time out of his busy schedule to move to the private room and introduced Chang Qing, the general manager. After the two of them got to know each other, there was no need for Gu Wenxuan to say anything else.

If it were normal, we would still need to invite those families who had sent congratulatory gifts before, which families should be invited, what banquets should be prepared, etc.

Some chatted.

This is the obvious benefit of having a capable general steward. Two sophisticated stewards just looked at a list and settled on it in a few words.
