Chapter 2053 Wang Quantai's Years(2/2)
How could he use so much money? Because of Wang Quantai's arrival, his wife's family was living a very good life. This kind of thing quickly spread, and the younger brothers in the family complained one by one that their father was too busy.
He is so much like his elder brother that he can fool around with things like this, and what happens next will be extraordinary. Although I feel that I did the right thing, after my sons said it, they all felt that I was wrong.
But they soon knew that Wang Quantai had done the right thing, and the county magistrate soon spread the word. Some senior officials in the provincial capital, of course, were also scholars, and all of them praised them.
Very soon, they may have all thought of themselves back then. Each one of them drove a carriage here in the crisp autumn weather to get to know Wang Quantai. Although many people here are not big officials in the province,
But for the county magistrate, all of them are great people and must be respected, even the highest five-rank officials. The highest county magistrate is the seventh-rank official. The gap is very big.
.
Wang Quantai's three younger brothers also stopped talking. There are so many important people, they are all scholars, and they are all more knowledgeable than their brothers. However, they all said that their brothers did the right thing, so this thing may have been done by their brothers.
By the way, of course I want to listen.
As for the positions they were looking forward to one by one, they didn't get them because their brother didn't marry their daughter. They all got what they wanted and went to the city and lived the life of city dwellers, but they felt that they were far inferior to those at home.
He was living a comfortable life. Wang Quantai knew that his younger brothers' lives were all his fault. However, none of his younger brothers were bullies. It was good to let them go out and exercise. Wang Quantai himself did not adapt himself because of outside events.
, I should continue to read and write honestly at home, waiting for the next exam to come. The next time will be my real success. Now is just the beginning.
Many people have lost themselves at this time. This is why every county has several Jinshi, but a province only has so many Jinshi. Many people can feel it. Now their lives
He is already living a very good life. The days of studying hard are too boring. If he has more enjoyment, why should he have to fight hard? If Wang Quantai wants to live comfortably in a county, he is now basically
It's enough to go to school. If you don't want to continue moving forward with an income of a few hundred taels of silver per year, you can open a library to teach children from rich families. This can earn you thousands of taels of silver per year. If you continue to learn from the provincial capital
Some dignitaries came and went, and even if something happened after that, it was probably the thinking of those who were stagnant. Wang Quantai himself was not that kind of person, so he continued to work hard.
Three years later, Wang Quantai stood out among thousands of candidates and became the first scholar in their province this year. Those who had invested in Wang Quantai were happy, and those three companies wanted to compete with Wang Quantai.
The family members who got married regretted it to death. Had they run more diligently back then and taken out their legitimate daughter, then the Jinshi master would have been his son-in-law. You know this
Jinshi have a very high social status. They can even enter the Governor's Office of the Governor's Palace. They are now equivalent to seventh-grade officials and gentry. According to the regulations of the court, they can receive an annual salary of 00 taels of silver every year. This
It is already half of the county magistrate’s annual salary. Of course, they do not have other gray income of the county magistrate, but many county magistrates are not scholars, and many of them rely on other side jobs. They are scholars.
Those who come out are those who have registered in the capital. The empire treats officials who rely on work and those who come from family in two ways. These people who rely on work for a living. If you want to get them down, it is necessary
There is hard evidence, especially for the first place like Wang Quantai. I guess the governors of the provinces are all concerned about it, so how could they do anything wrong, so basically they are all fawning.
Wang Quantai's three younger brothers were also happy at this time, because they were not married yet. Even if they wanted to curry favor with Wang Quantai, they would not let their legitimate daughter be a concubine for Wang Quantai, but what about the daughter of a concubine?
I guess Wang Quantai didn't even look at it when they sent it over. At this time, they fell in love with the three younger brothers of Wang Quantai's family. The daughter of a concubine from a wealthy businessman's family and the younger brother of a scholar were considered to be well matched. The younger brothers were all dumbfounded. It turned out that
At that time, the eldest brother did not want such a marriage. Three years later, when they reached the age of marriage, they were treated like this. Wang Quantai's father was very happy. The average farmer had four sons, which was really worrying. Others
Not to mention, let's just say that these sons have to sell their old bones when they get married. Now I don't need to worry about anything. It is really better to have a son who studies than the other three sons who farm.
After being admitted as a Jinshi, Wang Quantai had three different choices. He could either take one year of training and then wait for other county magistrates to become vacant, and then he could work as an official in other places. This would slowly take place every three years.
As long as you are born, you can eventually get into the position of governor after a few decades. There are many such things. The county magistrate is the seventh grade, the governor is the second grade, and there are ten grades in between. According to the Eastern Empire imperial court
According to the requirements, only those who have excelled in the evaluation for three years can be promoted. This excellence does not occur every year. At most, it can only be obtained once every few years. Therefore, it is almost enough to reach the position of governor in fifty years. Most people
Basically, I choose this one because I can taste the benefits of having rights. Here are the PepsiCo people.
The second option is to choose to work as an aide in a wealthy family. Just like the Governor's Mansion, there are more than thirty aides, and they are all responsible for their own piece of work. There are hundreds of millions of people in the province, and it is impossible for the governor to pay attention to it.
There were so many, so the staff in the Governor's Mansion began to help the Governor manage various things. At the beginning, they were just asked to come up with ideas. But later, the Governor also needed to rest, and they were responsible for all the big and small things.
Yes, the governor gives them a salary of over ten thousand taels of silver every year, and their lives are also very good. Except for not having that title in the court, they are much better than ordinary county magistrates. When the governor is required to transfer
When leaving, some will follow the governor, but others who are older or in poor health will also choose to stay. The governor will usually make arrangements for them, which are at least better than those of the county magistrate.
Their position is high, and they can't let people hang around here in vain, so their life is pretty good. Even if they become officials now, their life will be better than those who directly work as county magistrates. After all, they
Here are the connections here. If the governor is promoted, everyone here will have to give face to him. Of course, there are also those unlucky ones. If the governor is dismissed, their Jinshi status may also be directly pulled down.
, this is all possible.
Both of these can be said to be good choices, but in addition to these two, there is a third choice, which is to continue studying. Of course, there are regulations for this. This path can also be said to be
They are the most promising, but also the poorest. They have to take part in the palace examination every five years, which means that they will now leave for the capital. On the way to the capital, they must study hard and ride in the carriage every day.
It is very difficult to travel here, let alone study. Although the local officials will be responsible for their food and drink problems, and they will also take care of the food and drink at home, the one or two years on the road is really not long.
No matter how easy it was, many Jinshi simply gave up on the road because they couldn't bear the distance. After they returned, they started to take the first two roads one by one, but this time it was different from before.
, many people know that they can't stand the hard work on the way to the capital and come back one by one. For such people, although they won't say anything with their mouths, they still look down on them in their hearts. They will also arrange a position.
Give it to them, but the previous opportunity has been lost, and no one values them in their hearts.
Wang Quantai's family members no longer gave him any advice at this time. In their opinion, Wang Quantai's choices were all right. This can be seen from his marriage. In fact, everyone in the family wanted him to choose the first one.
. Because then Wang Quantai would be the county magistrate, and they could follow Wang Quantai to live there. Their brother would be the county magistrate. How comfortable they would be living here.
However, they also thought that if their brother had married the daughter-in-law of one of the wealthy businessmen now, the praise would be gone. They all remembered the incident very clearly. My brother was a scholar and had more brains than these people.
, one by one, they didn’t say anything. They had been brothers with Wang Quantai for more than 20 years, and they knew this brother well. They probably would choose the path to Beijing. Although it was a bit difficult, they all agreed.
It's understandable, and they all thought that if they passed the palace examination, they would be the number one scholar. However, all the Jinshi in the entire empire were qualified to pass. Although only one percent of them went, there were still a lot of people after all.
It is said that there are tens of thousands of people, but there are only a few dozen people among these tens of thousands. Can my brother do it? They have never doubted their brother's ability, but they want to show it on the huge stage of the empire.
, it’s really not enough, but if you get the title of No. 1 Scholar, it will be a great thing. The fifth-rank official will be their first title, and these people are all registered in the imperial court.
Everyone's rise is very fast. In just a few years, he can become the governor of a province. As long as nothing goes wrong, it is very possible to continue to rise. I haven't seen many ministers and prime ministers now.
Are all the adults educated? It is possible for children of big families to become officials, but they cannot become too high-ranking officials, because high-ranking officials are personally selected by the emperor himself, and they are all chosen to manage his own empire.
How can ordinary people do that? Send money? Forget it, they don’t need it. Favors? The emperor owes someone a favor. Even if he owes it, he will not use his empire to give a favor. This matter is not generally difficult to handle.
.
After all, one sunny morning, Wang Quantai told his family about his decision. Naturally, his father and brothers all agreed. The three younger brothers had already said that Wang Quantai did not need to worry about anything at home.
, he just went on his own. Whether it was his father, sister-in-law, or even his newborn nephew, everything was taken care of by himself. There was no need for his brother to worry about it. Wang Quantai remembered the friendship between his brothers very clearly.
, otherwise, I won’t take care of them so much in the future. Thinking of that time, Wang Quantai really misses them.
Wang Quantai also thought about this journey, but he never thought it would be so hard. According to their journey, they must walk eighty miles every day. He is a scholar himself and cannot ride a horse. Besides, it would be the same if he rides a horse.
For those who cannot study, although there will be a section of the road where you can take a boat, you will have to ride a carriage for nearly seven months. The Governor's Palace has provided these things for the road, and the carriage looks very comfortable.
Yes, but if you really want to sit down, you can do it for a day or two, but what if it takes a long time? Not to mention studying, even if you can stay in it honestly, it is not easy.
But if Wang Quantai were an ordinary person, Li Cong would not look down on this guy. Of course he has his own affairs. If not, how could he be the Minister of Household Affairs? Although he is also a second-rank official, how many people in the Eastern Empire are there?
Governor? There are three thousand people, but how many household ministers are there? There are only four people. Wang Quantai can become one-fourth of them. He really has his own business. In those seven months, Wang Quantai was all
Those who were studying hard never did anything else. Even if they passed through some big cities, they had no intention of going in. In fact, these Jinshi who made up their mind to go to Beijing were all members of His Majesty the Emperor and some big families.
People watching, this journey is also a way to test them. In fact, their exams have already started since they set off on the road. There are also many people from big families among the Jinshi. Their journey is different from Wang Quantai's.
, they are proficient in all kinds of sex, and even if such people come to the capital, they will not be wanted.
Some of Wang Quantai's performances were recorded in the book. Although they were not very outstanding, they were okay. After reading the report, the emperor only clicked on two points. Generally speaking, one point is something that needs to be taken a look at.
, you don’t need to pay too much attention, the essay written with two points will be handed over to the emperor, the one with three points will be highly regarded by the emperor, and the one with four points can almost be admitted directly, such a person
There is not one in a year. The emperor knows that these young people are arrogant, and he cannot praise them too highly. If they want to enter the officialdom, they still have a lot of experience.
Wang Quantai's performance on the road was quite satisfactory. He spent almost all of the seven months in the car. Even when he was sick, he never stopped walking. Even the officers and soldiers who sent him off were all tired.
It's amazing, but for Wang Quantai, entering the capital is what he wants in his heart. As for some other things, it's better to forget them. There is no need for those things at all. As long as he can get along well in the future, everything is fine.
some.
Two years later, Wang Quantai entered the largest city on the continent as a young Jinshi, with a population of more than 2 billion. This was the capital of the Eastern Empire. Of course, he was not qualified to enter the inner city, and could only enter the outer city.
Stay in the city honestly. Jinshi are considered very good people locally, but they are nothing in the capital. They are just a little better than ordinary people. People living in the outer city are all the family members of officials.
