Kaiyuan Merry

126. Bookstore

() As a Jinshi of the new department, Wang Wei didn't have much time to be as leisurely and relaxed as that day, because after the palace examination, he needed an official examination to truly obtain the official status.

The Ministry of Officials examines the four items of "body, speech, writing, and judgment". Body is appearance, speech is eloquence, calligraphy is calligraphy, and judgment is judgment. The status of "Jinshi" becomes "Jinshi", which can also be said to be selected, and after the selection, the officer can be awarded. Generally speaking, the three-year election period expires before release.

Of course, it is not surprising that people with bad luck stay in the election for five, six, seven or eight years.

In the final analysis, the official examination was just a formality examination. There were no problems in body, speech, and writing for more than 20 Jinshi, and there was nothing to say about the judgment of the case. It was all cases recorded in the law. As long as you understand a little, you can answer it.

Wang Wei was still a little worried about whether he would be raped. After all, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials was Jiang Jiao's younger brother Jiang Hui.

However, the smooth passing of the official examination proved that everything was caused by Wang Wei's own dark psychology. Maybe people didn't take him as a young Jinshi seriously at all.

Of course Wang Wei didn't know that besides Song Jing's support, the powerful man surnamed Gao beside the emperor also secretly took care of him. Wang Wei's current status was enough for Gao Lishi to help him.

Gao Lishi is helping him now, but it is not only because Wang Wei saved his wife, but because he has realized Wang Wei's ability, not those imaginary things in literature, but a young man with practical talents , he felt that such a young man should be able to go very far, and it is not a bad thing to make friends early.

The Ministry of Officials will also publish the list after the official examination. This time, Wang Wei ranked first. It can be said that he did his part. If the ranking of the palace examination is the most influential in the private sector, then the ranking of the official examination is the most influential in the officialdom. .

Once it comes to being an official and power, Wang Wei is always full of motivation, so it is very normal to easily win the first place. It is confirmed that he has Cheng Fenglang's essay official from the eighth rank, and can be awarded the rank of eighth rank. After becoming an official, Wang Wei felt even more relaxed, because this lost official was already taller than himself in his dream.

It seems that the gold content of the third place in my list is higher than the gold content of the top pick in my dream, at least I don't have to worry about what to do anymore. Tai Lecheng, the official from the eighth rank.

After getting his bronze "fish talisman" and dark blue official robe, Wang Wei felt even more uneasy, feeling that his hard work had finally paid off.

"Fish Talisman" can be regarded as the official's proof. It is made of wood or metal and shaped like a fish.

The fish charm is engraved with the name of the official, the office, the official residence level, the amount of salary, and the treatment they enjoy when traveling.Of course, Wang Wei has not yet served in the Yamen, but he has a rank and salary.

The main purpose of the fish charm is to prove the identity of officials, which is convenient for verification when they are called into and out of the palace gate.

"New Tang Book·Che Fu Zhi" records: "Those who possess fish talismans are honored by their names and should be called for orders." The materials used to make fish talismans are directly related to the official titles.

At that time, all the fish charms used by princes and officials above the third rank were cast in gold to show their high grade and identity;

The fish charms of officials above the fifth rank are made of silver; those of officials below the sixth rank are made of copper.Officials above the fifth rank also have a special bag for storing fish charms, which is called "fish bag".By the time of Wu Zetian, the fish charm was once changed to the "turtle charm" shaped like a turtle, which had the same purpose as the fish charm.

At this time, it is reasonable to say that Wang Wei should have relaxed, but in fact he was even busier, because after the Jidi Jinshi participated in the official examination, there were many banquets to be held. "Guan Yan", apricot orchard flower exploration feast is one of the important activities.

The Tanhua Banquet is a special banquet for the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty. It is similar to the Qionglin Banquet in the Song Dynasty and the Enrong Banquet in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Sometimes even the emperor will attend and drink with the Jinshi. Serve the emperor even more desperately.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking of the emperors. The world is not the emperor's world alone, but the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world.

The first location of the Flower Exploration Banquet was in the apricot garden. This apricot garden is not a rare garden in Chang'an. It is common for scholarly families to have it. Of course, Taixue also has a large apricot garden.

Apricot altars will be placed in the apricot gardens. According to legend, Confucius gave lectures and discussed scriptures under the apricot groves. In order to encourage the younger generation to study Confucian culture and understand Confucianism, the ancestors built apricot altars under the shade trees of the apricot garden.

The elders often come here to teach the juniors unremittingly. There are four exquisite stone reliefs around the platform of Xingtan, which are Confucius "traveling around the world", "discussing Mu Gongshuang", "lecturing on Xingtan", " Learn the allusion of Qin Shixiang".

Because the place where Confucius lectured was full of apricot trees, people called it "Xingtan". Later, Xingtan became a synonym for people's pursuit of knowledge and ideals.

After the death of Confucius, his student Zi Gong planted many type trees around his tomb, and the tomb of King Zhou Wen in Henan was full of model trees at that time, because both of them are models representing Chinese culture, so later generations Therefore, "model" is used as a synonym for the object of people's admiration and learning.

The activities in Xingyuan are naturally to thank the elders such as the master, like Zhang Ting, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the ministers in the political affairs hall, all of whom Xinke Scholars need to thank.

Because the day of the Flower Exploration Banquet can also be regarded as a day of carnival in Chang'an, after all, after the event in the apricot garden, all Jinshi will race horses and travel around the famous gardens in Chang'an. At the same time, there is a banquet given by the emperor by the Qujiang Pool, where you can drink revelry, and you will never return if you don't get drunk.

The people of Chang'an can also join in this feast. Even if they can't go to the royal Qujiang Pool, the Xingyuan is an open public building. People who are more leisurely can go to the Xingyuan to watch the excitement.

Xiulan came to Wubenfang where the Taixue is located this day, but not to watch the excitement, but after being stimulated and determined to change her destiny, she planned to use her previous income to buy Mengxue textbooks. I want to learn to write.

The girl's rebellious psychology even made her ignore her gender, and because she ranked third among the five children in the family, she was the least valued, so her parents were also negligent in disciplining her. This kind of "lawless" temperament.

In the past, Xiulan used to buy food to satisfy her hunger after receiving her own income. After all, the family’s financial pressure was relatively high, so she barely had enough food and clothing. The younger brother and the younger sister were growing up, and she couldn't compete with her younger siblings for food, so she had to go out to the rivers and lakes with her father during the annual imperial examination time to earn some extra money.

I didn't expect that luck was really good this time. I met such a generous family member as Wang Wei. Although I had to hand over some of the rewards I received to my father, there was still a lot left, enough for her to buy Mengxue books. .

But Xiulan didn't dare to tell others about buying books. She always felt that if she did this, she would definitely be despised by some people. ?

But Xiulan knew that if she could read and write well, she could at least be a bookkeeper for bookkeeping, and she would get extra points for being a maid in a wealthy family. She felt that this was the first opportunity to change her destiny. step.

But at this time, Xiulan was still wearing a very rustic blouse and dressed as a servant. She looked like a malnourished young man. Because she was always hungry and rarely had enough, Xiulan His appearance has not grown at all. Although his eyes are big and his eyebrows are thick, his face is so ordinary that he cannot give people a deep impression.

Xiulan didn't expect such a coincidence to happen in this world. It was a handsome man in green clothes, holding a book, frowning, as if dissatisfied with the quality of the book, and this handsome man, It was Wang Wei, the owner of the post I sent myself that day.

How could he appear in this newly opened but already well-known bookstore?As a child of an aristocratic family, there must be countless books in the family... Xiulan thought with some doubts.

The reason why this bookstore is famous is that the prices of the books are a little cheaper, and the quality of the book paper is better than other bookstores. After all, some bookstores still sell bamboo slips that were popular in the Han Dynasty...

The reason why Wang Wei appeared here is very simple. This bookstore can be regarded as an industry created by him and Cui Yingluo. Among them, the improvement of papermaking and printing techniques was naturally proposed by Wang Wei, and Cui Yingluo perfected it. Excellent craftsmen, the product of putting it into practice.

Its advantage is naturally that the price of books has been reduced, and of course it has not been reduced too much. This is just a pilot project, and Wang Wei does not want to popularize books so soon, because this improvement is relatively simple and cannot form technical barriers, and this book He really couldn't stand the quality.

As a politician who wanted to monopolize rumors and public opinion in ancient times, what he had to do was to become the real leader in the papermaking and printing industry. At least he had to improve his technology to a certain level before he could gradually spread the technology.

This time, Wang Wei was going to Xingyuan for a banquet. He passed by his bookstore called "Xinhua" on horseback. Naturally, he took a look at it out of curiosity. But now he trusts Cui Yingluo's scientific and technological talent very much.

In Wang Wei's view, Cui Yingluo is a real genius, comparable to figures like Newton and Einstein, and his role is much greater than that of a liberal arts monk and well-known elite who only know how to fight for power and profit.
