"Stay, stay!"

Yang Kesheng nodded frequently to the sergeant who sent him out, with a smile on his face, and then walked out of the door of the Xuanfu Division.

After an interview with the Xuanfu Division and three days of anxiety, Yang Kesheng came to the Xuanfu Division, and finally found that he was on the list, and he immediately let go of his hanging heart.

This time, I can finally have an explanation for my wife and children.

"Zhu Yiwen, fortunately he didn't listen to him, otherwise, the lord of Wei County would really be hanging!"

The family heirloom jade was placed on the chest, but it was not given away. He witnessed a scholar in front of him being embarrassed, and the calligraphy and paintings he sent were thrown out directly. As for that official position, I'm afraid I don't even think about it.

He went to meet Guo Yong, the head of the Daimyo Mansion, and the other party also taught him to fulfill his duties and not to defile himself, because he accepted bribes and filled his own pockets, and ruined his good future.

He was originally a cautious person, and Shangguan's words were naturally taken to heart. The Xuanfu Division is not the Great Song Dynasty, and the integrity and ability of officials are the first to bear the brunt. Once he loses money and is noticed by the above, he will never be hired, and he may even be imprisoned.

Back home, his wife and children were excited. Seeing that the jade was not given away, the wife shook her head strangely.

"Officials, don't accept gifts, you said that after you take office, Shangguan won't look for you, right?"

The wife was still a little apprehensive.

"I don't think so!"

Yang Kesheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I just saw that the person who gave the gift in front of me was kicked out, and even the official was gone, so I didn't dare to take things out." Besides, these Shangguan are all great sages, and they will definitely not embarrass me as a small master of Wei County. ”

Wife Wei shook her head and pursed her lips.

"The officials of this new dynasty are different. It doesn't cost money for children to go to school, everyone in the army is vying to be the first, and the world is different. ”

"What new dynasty, isn't it still the Lianghe and Shaanxi Xuanfu Divisions under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Yang Kesheng glared, but in exchange for a sneer from his wife.

"Official, you are a fan of the authorities. Did any officials in the Great Song Dynasty not accept gifts? Xuanfu Department of the Imperial Court, was your official position given by the Imperial Court? Do the soldiers of the Xuanfu Division listen to the orders of the imperial court? ”

His wife whispered, and Yang Kesheng was terrified.

The wife is worthy of being an official eunuch, and she is clear about things in the officialdom. In this way, this is a new dynasty and a new deal.

"Official, I forgot to tell you that I ran into Uncle Jill on the street just now."

His wife's eyes flickered, and she seemed to have something unspeakable.

"That's a good thing!"

Yang Kesheng was shocked, and then understood.

In troubled times, it is fortunate that you can still meet your loved ones.

"Official, don't you mind?"

The wife was a little surprised, but happy. His younger brother, a nerd, is cynical all day long, does not give birth, and has never been in the eyes of his husband. I thought that my husband would frown coldly, but I didn't expect it.

"Erlang people are a little more withdrawn. But he has a good heart and some talent. The family reunites after the catastrophe, so don't mind. ”

"Official, you are really a big husband, I will serve you well tonight!"

His wife's face turned crimson and she whispered emotionally. The younger brother has no long things, and after the family, it is equivalent to raising one more person, and the husband still cares about these relatives in his heart.

The door was pushed open with a "Ge squeak", and Wang Hao's long shirt fluttered and walked in with a newspaper in his hand.

"Brother-in-law, you're back!"

Wang Hao nodded to his brother-in-law and was about to go to the room.

"Erlang, sit down, brother-in-law has something to say to you."

Looking at the white coat washed by his brother-in-law, Yang Kesheng frowned and sat down at the table.

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to drive me, I'll clean up and leave immediately."

Despite saying this, Wang Hao still sat down at the table, but his head turned to the side.

"Erlang, talk to your brother-in-law well. It's all family, and he doesn't

There is no intention to drive you away. ”

Wang Hao turned his head and looked at Yang Kesheng, his face also softened, not as hostile as just now.

"Erlang, my brother-in-law just came back from the Xuanfu Division, and I overheard an official say that the school in the city is going to recruit some teachers, it seems that they are going to Xiangzhou and Cizhou."

Sure enough, hearing Yang Kesheng's words, Wang Hao's eyes lit up.

"Erlang, you like to study ancient historical books, and you used to be a student, if it weren't for your strong temperament and refusal to go south with the imperial court, you must have been an official in Jiangnan."

"The official family is mediocre, and the traitorous ministers are troublesome, except for cutting the land and claiming to be a minister, it is useless. If you follow such a court to the south, wouldn't you die of indignation!"

As soon as Yang Kesheng finished speaking, Wang Hao was already cold.

Yang's wife looked at her husband and was cautious, for fear that he would have a seizure.

"Erlang, you're right. It's okay if the court doesn't mention it, but with your talents, wouldn't it be too difficult to teach in the academy?"

Yang Kesheng rarely did not get angry. After some upheaval, he was also rarely relieved.

"No, no, no! Brother-in-law, if I can open up the wisdom of the people and pass on what I have learned all my life, this is also a pleasure!"

Wang Hao perked up, and then hesitated: "Brother-in-law, isn't it that I'm going to the "Juxian Pavilion"?" ”

Seeing that Wang Hao wanted to join the WTO and had a positive attitude, Yang Kesheng was also happy.

"Juxian Pavilion" is a person in the government. You are a civil officer, called "job hunting", and you are going to the "Department of Education", and there is a special person in charge. ”

Yang Kesheng has heard of the various officials of the Xuanfu Division, especially when it comes to personal jobs.

Of course, you can also go to the "employment agency", which also has job descriptions. However, in the end, I had to go to the "Department of Education" for an interview and attend classes before deciding whether to admit or not. ”

"It's fair to learn with real talent, and it's not a difficult thing."

Wang Hao pondered for a moment and hesitated: "Brother-in-law, I used to test the scriptures, but now most of them are practical studies. Can this subset of my classics and history, especially historiography, be accepted by the government? ”

He went out to inquire clearly, and there were many people who learned arithmetic, agriculture, criminal names, and strange skills, while Jingyi and so on were left far behind. As for the good handwriting, the ability to compose poems and words, etc., it is only used as a reference.

"Erlang, you don't know. In the past, the imperial examination was for four books, but now it is the first examination for new studies and arithmetic, followed by history, and the last for classics. Such changes are not good for other readers, but they are good for you. Xuanfu Si attaches great importance to history, otherwise he would not be thirsty for talent. Wang Xianggong once said that if you want to know the road, you must first go to history; If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history, and historiography is the soul of the nation. You can rest assured, with your talent, go to the school to be a teacher, nine times out of ten. ”

"Did Wang Xianggong really say that?"

Wang Hao nodded heavily and cheered up: "Brother-in-law, when will we go to the "Education Division"?"

"Without further ado, go now!"

Yang Kesheng nodded and said: "I heard that Wang Xianggong wants to build countless schools in Lianghe prefectures and counties, so that school-age children can go to schools. Erlang is only eight buckets high, and he will be useful. ”

Wang Hao and Yang Kesheng went out, and Yang's wife couldn't help but shake her head.

It seems that the younger brother, who is full of talent, will not return empty-handed this time.

Since its completion, the two-story cement building "Employment Agency" has become a resort in the Daimyofu Castle.

Every day, thousands of people gather here, even those who come here and learn to be rich and rich in five cars, "North Drift", they often come here, Peng Yi try his luck to see if he can get something.

The huge plaza in front of the "Employment Agency" is specially for job seekers. The lords of the city who needed manpower would come here and look for the man they needed.

Every morning, there will be a few long queues here, first to see the job requirements on the bulletin board, and then start to queue up, waiting for the "employment agency" to open.

As for most of the coolies and craftsmen, they can only grab a front spot in the square, hoping that customers will come to the door and get the first place.

A horse-drawn carriage came along a wide avenue and stopped in front of the "Employment Agency". On the carriage

A middle-aged man in a brocade dress got out of the car, and when he came to the crowd, he was quickly surrounded by a group of sharp-eyed job seekers.

The repair of the "Sun's Restaurant" in Nancheng requires five masons, ten coolies, 100 coolies a day, and 200 craftsmen. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the crowd shouted loudly and scrambled to be the first.

"I'll go!"

"Count me in!"

The man in the fancy costume picked and chosen, and when he had picked enough satisfactory manpower, he left quickly with the people. Disappointed, job seekers who didn't get what they wanted continued to wait.

After a while, another carriage came, and several men got out of the carriage.

"If you queue up to go to the Chengxi Ferry to find trouble, don't queue up, just come and sign up!"

The public shouted and played, and a large area of the square was empty, and many craftsmen and coolies ran over.

"Line up, don't crowd!"

Finally, when the crowd in front of him quieted down, the public in front picked up a small tin horn and shouted.

"The construction of the second phase of the ferry in Xicheng requires 200 masons, 500 coolies, 90 wen a day, 150 wen craftsmen, and a current period of one to one and a half months, including food and accommodation."

Job seekers are responding in droves. The work of the government is naturally stable and rich.

A large number of job seekers left, and the square, which had just been idle for a while, was occupied by the crowd that followed.

"Insult Sven, insult Sven!"

A few soldiers in wide robes and big sleeves who were queuing up looked at the scene just now, shook their heads and sighed.

"Covered with copper smell, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, people's hearts are not ancient, and the rivers are dying!"

"What Brother Li said is very true! Picky and selective, no shame, everyone is for profit, and the world is declining! ”

"The eldest husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he can't cook for five tripods when he dies. Wouldn't it be a waste of a good time to be so mediocre and ask for land and give up!"

"Brother Bao, you are a well-known prodigy, how can you compare with these ordinary people. If it weren't for the invasion of Fanzi, you would already be a protégé of the Son of Heaven and educate one side. It's really a trick! ”

The scholar surnamed Bao is in shabby clothes, but he has a good demeanor, and he has sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he is righteous and awe-inspiring, but the words he said were full of sourness.

"A lowly mason is also four or five dollars a month. We are full of wealth, but no one cares, and our morals are degraded, sad, sad, and pitiful!"

"Bao Shixia, is Bao Shixia here?"

The grumbling was interrupted, and the public at the "employment agency" shouted loudly at the door.

"Bao Shixia is here, Bao Shixia is here!"

Bao Shixia hurriedly agreed, hugged his fists at the two people around him, and hurriedly walked in with the public.

"Bao Shixia, you are really a difficult lord to serve."

Zhang Hao, the director of the "employment agency", looked at the unruly young man in front of him and shook his head.

I introduced two jobs to this guy earlier, one as a school teacher and one as a bookkeeper, but they didn't work for long. The reviews are good, but the interest is too low to last.

"Director Zhang, is there anything to introduce today?"

Bao Shixia was unceremonious. For him, he has his own retribution, and he will never be reluctant or wronged.

"Bao Shixia, Brother Bao, just say, what do you want?"

"Director Zhang, he just wants to serve the country and the people, throwing his head and spilling blood, and he is unwilling to live his life, even if he starts from the "official", he is also willing. ”

Bao Shixia's face was calm, but his heart was uneasy. In case there is no suitable job this time, he can only be aggrieved.

"According to what you say, I'm also a fool."

Zhang Hao glared at Bao Shixia, and then turned positive.

"You're out of shit luck! Wang Xianggong has been to the institute and learned about your situation, and thinks that a young scholar like you understands all kinds of history and has a good character. He asked me to inform you to take the exam for the "School of Administration". ”

"Administrative Academy?"

Bao Shixia was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
