Chapter 460: It turned out that they were all eunuchs
Li Feibai said: "Everything is subject to Uncle Guo's arrangement!" ”
He didn't know what a shadow prison was and what a regular prison was, so he asked. After Guo Xun's explanation, he finally figured it out.
It turns out that the people who can go to Guozijian to study are divided into five categories.
The first class is the shadow eunuch, that is, the children of officials, especially the children of officials who are above the third grade.
The second class is the election of tribute, that is, each prefecture, state and county elects a talented person to go to Guozijian to study, and when it is time to take the examination, he participates in the examination. This kind of person is a multi-skilled high school jinshi.
The third class is tribute, that is, those who do not have a middle jinshi, select excellent ones to enter the Guozijian to study, wait for the next examination, and give a salary equivalent to a teaching. It doesn't matter if you don't have a Zhongjin sergeant, you only need to pass the assessment of the Guozijian and you can also be an official.
The fourth class of foreign eunuchs is also the children of foreign people, such as the princes and nobles of Korea, Wa, Jiaozhi, Rakshasa and other countries. After completing the study, they can return to China, and the Ministry of Rites will issue documents proving their knowledge.
The fifth class is the regular supervision. To put it bluntly, the regular supervisor is the kind of person who can go to the country to study by paying money, and the amount of money paid varies according to the market situation every year.
It is very difficult for these people to become officials, and at most they will spend money to buy a vacant position, unless they are amazingly talented and can pass the layers of assessment of the national superintendent, so that they can make up for the real shortcomings. And there is no one in a thousand who can make up for the shortcomings.
The Guozi prison is divided into five courts.
The first-class courtyard is called Guoziyuan, and they are all children of the family of the third grade or more who enter the Guozijian.
The second-class academy is called Tai Academy, and they are all recommended to enter the country.
The third-class academy is called Guangwen Academy, and they are all recommended to enter the country.
The fourth-class courtyard is called Simenyuan, and they are all children of foreign princes and nobles.
The fifth-class courtyard is called Miscellaneous Courtyard! There are mainly four types of people.
First, the children of officials below the third grade, most of them are the children of officials below the sixth grade. The children of officials from the four and five families either go to the Guozi Courtyard, or disdain to enter the miscellaneous courtyard, study at home, and directly participate in the examination.
Second, the people who were promoted to the National Prison failed to pass the Jinshi several times, and they were given up for treatment by the Guangwen Academy, and they could not pass the assessment to become an official, so they continued to live in the miscellaneous courtyards, hoping to be able to be admitted to the Jinshi, or make up for the real shortcomings.
Third, the children of foreign non-princes and nobles, and the children of some petty officials and officials, came to Daming to study at their own expense.
Fourth, the regular supervisor is also the master of Li Feibai's money.
Among the five academies, Guoziyuan and Tai College have the smallest number of students. The largest number of people in the courtyard!
The five courtyards are all closed management, all prisoners are not allowed to go to the hospital, violators, the light one can be punished with 20 canes, and the heavy ones can be beaten to death with sticks.
Li Feibai understood these rules and couldn't help sighing.
Li Feibai sighed, not because he entered the lowest miscellaneous courtyard, and he couldn't go to the highest Guozi courtyard. But sigh that people are not as good as heaven!
A few of their brothers, who had a good plan, waited until they arrived at the Guozijian, and a few of them lived in a room, and since then they have lived a happy life of bragging, fart, and shamelessness.
Who knows, the rules of the Guozijian are so big, they are not allowed to go to the courtyard.
Lu Bing and Guo Shouxiang must have gone to Guoziyuan, and they must be able to live together, but these people want to enter the Guozijian in order to accompany him, and now they have ended up in different places, and they must not be depressed to death, regretting this crime.
To tell the truth, Li Feibai likes to go to the miscellaneous courtyard very much, where there are three sects and nine streams, and there are all kinds of talents, and they happen to make friends one by one.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Huangdian Street. The liveliness of this street is not weaker than that of Qianmen Street, and the bustling passers-by almost squeeze the entire road tightly.
Guo Xun's car dared to rampage on Qianmen Street, but he didn't dare to rampage here. Because the people who can take care of the business of the emperor's shop are all the cronies of the saint today, which cronies of the saint today collide with, and make that cronie unhappy, and sue in front of the saint today, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.
When he arrived at the entrance of Huangdian Street, Guo Xun instructed the coachman to stop and go to the depths of Huangdian Street with Li Feibai and Jia Xiaolong.
Don't look at Li Feibai has been in the capital for a while, but it is the first time he has come to the emperor's shop, and when he saw that the business of each store was super good, he asked, "Uncle Guo, are these shops the emperor's property?" ”
Guo Xun said: "It used to be, but now it's not!" ”
Li Feibai said: "How do you say this? ”
Guo Xun said: "When the first emperor was the emperor, these shops were the property of the first emperor. As soon as the first emperor died, a group of poor Confucian people insisted that these imperial shops were competing with the people for profit, and strongly demanded that Yang Tinghe eliminate these imperial shops. This move was in line with Yang Tinghe's intentions, and he ordered to reform the emperor's shop, leaving only six for today's saints. ”
He sighed and said, "What is competing with the people!" Oh, the store is in the hands of the emperor, which is to compete with the people for profit. You poor people, using all kinds of means to take the store away at a low price, are you not competing with the people for profit? To put it bluntly, it's just that the emperor's shop makes money, and uses all kinds of means to snatch the things that should belong to the emperor from the emperor! ”
Li Feibai shook his head helplessly, saying that the Ming Emperor was cruel, just from this point, it can be seen that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really pitiful, as a true dragon emperor, he can't even keep his own property, how to talk about cruelty.
While talking, the group came to a horse shop, Xiao Er greeted him, and asked in a sharp voice: "How many guest officers came to buy horses?" ”
Guo Xun nodded and said, "Is your shopkeeper there?" ”
Xiao Er said: "In, in!" Please come to the guest cabinet, I'll go and call my shopkeeper to come out. As he spoke, he welcomed the three of them to the store, sat down at the table, poured tea for all three of them, and hurried to the store to invite the shopkeeper.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with no beard on his face walked out! When the man saw Guo Xun, he was stunned at first, and then said excitedly: "This, isn't this Guo Taibao?" The miscellaneous family has a greeting for you. Then he will kneel on the ground.
Guo Xun hurriedly held it and said, "Gonggong Yin doesn't dare to make such a big gift, isn't that breaking my birthday?" Hurry up, please! ”
Li Feibai suddenly realized, no wonder the shopkeeper and Xiao Er here are all screaming and screaming, it turns out that they are all eunuchs! It's just that I don't know, he's here to go through the formalities of entering the country to study, what are you doing here?
Gonggong Yin sat down opposite Guo Xun and asked, "Guo Taibao is here, I don't know what to advise!" ”
Guo Xun pointed at Li Feibai and said, "This is a distant relative of mine, I want to go to Guozijian to study, I don't know how the market is this year?" ”
Gonggong Yin squinted his eyes and looked Li Feibai up and down, and said in his heart: "A distant relative? I can't see it, otherwise I would have to move your Taibao's big car and run it in person! ”
Besides, with Guo Xun's ability, there are not 1,000 but 800 ways to send a person to Guozijian to study, so why come to him?
He couldn't figure out a clue back and forth, and suddenly saw Guo Xun knocking on a Daming Daily on the table, his fingers were not biased or slanted, and he just clicked on the imperial character on the top.
Gonggong Yin gasped, could it be that it was the emperor's intention to send this person to study in the Guozijian, and this person did not really go to the Guozijian to study, but for another purpose.
What the purpose is, he didn't dare to speculate, and hurriedly said: "This year's market is slightly expensive, and I have to accept ten good horses." ”
Guo Xun said: "How much is a good horse worth? ”
Yin Gong said fairly: "The market price is one hundred taels, Guo Taibao himself, naturally it is cheaper." ”
Guo Xun said: "One hundred taels is one hundred taels, as long as I can let my distant relative go to Guozijian to gain knowledge!" As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket worth a thousand taels from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "There is Father-in-law!" ”
