Because of the arrival of these jinshi, the hall that originally seemed empty was suddenly crowded for several minutes.

More than 100 people knelt down in the hall and shouted long live to Zhao Dongting Mountain.

Zhao Dongting's eyes swept over Zhong Jian, the head of the front, and then swept over the rest of the people, raised his hand and said, "Let's all be flat!" ”

He didn't treat him differently, and he especially loved and appreciated Zhong Jian.

When everyone was flat, he waved his hand.

The little eunuch who was waiting in the corner of the hall hurriedly ran forward and placed two long trays covered with red silk on Zhao Dongting's bookcase.

Zhao Dongting opened it at the same time.

On the left, there are stacks of large red papers. On the right, there are many dazzling gold medals.

When all the Jinshi saw this, they all looked puzzled.

Zhao Dongting gently patted the document on the left side and said, "This is the official document for you to pass the palace examination. ”

He slapped the gold medal on the right side again, "And this is the Jinshi gold medal that I have rewarded you." The gold medal is engraved with the names of all the people, and even if the holder of this gold medal is not an official in the court, he can also go to the government office where the household registration is located every month to receive a silver salary. This is all provided to you by the imperial court free of charge. Of course, I still hope that you can serve the court and work for the benefit of worship. ”

All the jinshi are moved.

When they came to participate in the palace examination, how many of them didn't want to be officials in the court?

"Zhong Jian."

Zhao Dongting picked up the top letter on the left, read Zhong Jian's name, picked up the gold medal from the right side, and said with a smile: "Come up!" ”

Rao was a little excited at this time with Zhong Jian's calmness. His face flushed, and he walked quickly not far in front of Zhao Dongting, kneeling on the ground, "The grass people thank the emperor." ”

Gonggong Liu took the paperwork and the gold medal from Zhao Dongting's hand, walked down the stairs and handed them to Zhong Jian.

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu, "State Order, what position does the Ministry of Agriculture plan to give Zhong Jian?" ”

Lu Xiufu bowed slightly, "Back to the emperor, there are many vacancies in the Ministry of Agriculture. After our discussion, Zhong Jian can be appointed as the deputy director of the Shaozhou Department of Agriculture. ”

Since Zhao Dongting implemented the new policy in Leizhou, most of the titles of local officials have been changed, except for the various ministries, and the official rank is very close to the order of official positions in modern society.

Shaozhou is Wangzhou in Jinghu South Road, and it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. There is no difference between a state at this level and a prefecture-level city at this level.

As Wangzhou, Shaozhou has been restructured and Zhizhou has become a member of the five products.

Zhong Jian's deputy director of the Department of Agriculture is between the six products and the six products. And judging from the emperor's favor for him now, he should be able to rate it as a positive six products.

In ancient times, there was a saying that there were nine grades of sesame officials, and it sounds like the six grades are not high. But in fact, the sixth rank official is definitely not small, and it can be equivalent to the level of the main hall.

In the eyes of the ordinary people, can the officials of the main hall not be high enough?

It's just that after many students were stunned, they couldn't help but show a deep sense of disappointment.

They only thought that after passing the palace examination, they would get an official position of more than six grades, but they were far from thinking that even Zhong Jian, who was the most favored by the emperor, was only a mere six grades.

Doesn't that mean that their appointments will be lower?

In this way, it is not even as good as those who became tributes in the college examination.

I especially remember that there was a tribute who passed the college examination on Kuizhou Road, and he also became the director of the agricultural department of a certain state. Compared with Zhong Jian's deputy hall, the gold content is probably higher.

Just imagine, even Zhong Jian only got such an official position, how would they be treated?

"I have personally read your exam papers, and my insights on the way of rejuvenating agriculture are indeed good, and I have decided to adopt them."

Zhao Dongting just looked at Zhong Jian with a smile and praised him, but he didn't explain anything. After saying this, he only said that he was going to serve in Shaozhou, and then opened the next article.

Mao Hori, Chenzhou Water Conservancy Department.

Dong Lishi, Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau of Yongming County, Daozhou.

……

One by one, the jinshi stepped forward to take the paperwork and the gold medal, and then returned to the distance. The deep disappointment in his eyes never faded.

Among these people, there are no officials with a rank of more than six grades, and most of them are seven to eight grades. What's even more surprising is that there is not even a main position in the yamen, and the highest is already a deputy position.

Zhong Jian was indeed the highest appointee among all the people.

finally passed the palace exam, and got such treatment?

These jinshi didn't dare to say it in their mouths, but how could they not feel aggrieved in their hearts.

Don't say that it is the tribute scholars of the various academies, that is, the students in the government examinations, all of whom have higher grades than them. Moreover, there are many people who live in the right place!

In this way, maybe if they don't come to this temple test, they will eventually get a higher official position!

There were many Jinshi who looked at Zhong Jian faintly.

In their minds, the most unconvincing person in their hearts now should be Zhong Jian.

In the past, how could the "new champion" be so snubbed like him?

And Zhao Dongting, Lu Xiufu and others had smiles on their faces, as if they were waiting for these jinshi to speak.

To the disappointment of the Jinshi, Zhong Jian just stood respectfully in the crowd and did not mean to take the initiative to speak.

He didn't say anything, so these jinshi were also a little hesitant.

In order to compete for official positions, you can make speeches. However, what if this makes the emperor unhappy?

Zhao Dongting suddenly spoke, "You are all great talents in the country, but you can get official positions but you are slightly inferior to those tribute students and scholars, don't you have anything to say?" ”

After all, Youjin Shi couldn't help it, looked up at Zhao Dongting, and was about to speak.

At this time, Zhong Jian was the first to speak up and said, "Back to the emperor, we don't have much to say." Zhong Jian thanked the emperor! ”

Zhao Dongting was quite amused, "Oh? Don't you feel uncomfortable? Why? ”

Zhong Jian looked up at Zhao Dongting, "The emperor really wants Zhong Jian to speak out?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to be straight."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand heartily, but he also wanted to hear what Zhong Jian thought in his heart.

Zhong Jian knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The emperor asked me to wait for all the scholars to enter the various yamen as deputy positions, Zhong Jian is courageous, the emperor should be deliberately sharpening us, and it is also an opportunity for me to learn from the lords in the court." Since the emperor implemented the retirement system, many officials in the DPRK and China have approached or reached retirement age, and the emperor has arranged for us to serve on Jinghu South Road. If we can contribute to the court and the society in our respective positions, Zhong Jian said bluntly, and at that time, the emperor should allow us to be high-ranking officials. ”

The Jinshi were slightly startled and looked complicated.

They were all nervous about what official positions they would get, but they didn't pay as much attention as Zhong Jian, and the emperor arranged for them all to serve on Jinghu South Road.

At present, the emperor's palace is in Changsha, and the particularity of this Jinghu South Road is not comparable to the rest of the roads.

"Haha!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed out loud, "You are thoughtful, not vulgar, not vulgar!" ”

Then his eyes swept over the Jinshi again, and said, "What Zhong Jian said is not wrong, I know that you are great talents, and I do have the intention of testing you and others." When I first took over the government, it was also through hardships and hardships that I was able to develop the Great Song Dynasty to the point where it is today. If you want to pass the palace test and become a dragon and phoenix among people, in all roads and mansions, there may be an example, I don't care about handing over some small places to you, so that you can show your skills. However, since you have passed the palace examination, you are the top talent in our Great Song Dynasty now, and I have high hopes for you, let you be in the deputy position, and learn from all of you, but I don't want to see you hit your head and bleed. ”

The fingers of his right hand lightly clasped the desk, "Indeed, as Zhong Jian said, if you can pass my assessment and show your skills in your respective positions, I will definitely be willing to let you be in a high position and show your ambition and talent to the fullest." However, if you don't contribute anything to the community in your respective positions, then you are all waiting to be sent to a small place! It is true that the DPRK and China are now in a state of flux, but what I need is officials who are really capable of doing things and doing practical things. ”

"Of course ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dongting's voice suddenly changed again, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, you can also bring it up here." I can send you to a local post at my discretion, and I think that your official position will not be lower than it is now. ”

After speaking, he smiled and looked at the many jinshi.

The jinshi each groaned.

Undoubtedly, if they take the initiative to ask to go to the local government now, they will get a higher rank of official rank. However, the emperor's meaning is also obvious, and it will not be easy for them to rise to the core position of the imperial court in the future.

Is it to glorify the ancestors now?

Or do you want to win the opportunity to become a feudal official in the future?

There are many people who are thinking in their hearts.

The age of this class of Jinshi varies greatly, with the oldest being in his forties and the youngest being only eighteen. Their ideas, naturally, are different.
