Chapter 714: A Strange Gaze
Ji Ning basically asked him about his errands, and he basically had a plan for what he would do in the future and how to allocate his time on a daily basis.
The work at the Temple of Literature may not seem easy, but it is actually not very tiring.
A day of work about three hours, one hour in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, there is no overtime statement, every ten days every four or nine days off, is a rotation system, if there is any major event, you can ask for leave, but you need to deduct a certain amount of money.
His temporary allowance is 12 taels of silver a month, and if you add some additional allowances and subsidies, it will be at most 15 taels a month.
This kind of work is not too tempting for those who raise people, let alone literati who have already passed the Jinshi examination and can become officials in the court.
If it is simply a comparison, Ji Ning, a trainee bachelor, can get fifteen taels of silver a month, while Tang Xie and Han Yu spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy the county magistrate, and the Yulu is only forty or fifty taels a year, which is not comparable.
It seems that the work of the Confucian Temple is still very leisurely, but after all, when he became the magistrate of the county, there are some filial piety in the local three festivals and two birthdays, and there are even people who will be corrupt and pervert the law.
In the Great Yong Dynasty, some officialdom gifts and so on, are not considered bribes at all, many are even public, every year during the New Year's Festival, many officials can receive a large number of gifts, and the gray income in a year must be more than a bachelor of the Confucian Temple.
Therefore, the Jinshi of the Great Yong Dynasty did not like to come to the Temple of Literature to serve.
Wu Songzhang said: "Bachelor Ji, now that you have learned about the working environment here, you should also let you know some of the rest of the colleagues in the Liren Academy. There are a total of 13 bachelors and 8 trainee bachelors, and if there are any important manuscripts that need to be revised, some people may be recruited from other halls. If not, just us people are here on errands, you know? ”
"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded.
"Okay, I'll introduce you a few today, except for a few people who are resting today, the rest of them are here, you get to know them first! This is Master Zhao......"
Wu Songzhang introduced all the people in Liren Shutang to Ji Ning, there are a few, Ji Ning has seen them before, and this time it can be regarded as a new acquaintance.
In the next half a year, when he will study some of the daily work processes of the apprenticeship in the capital, these people are also his bosses and his seniors, although Ji Ning may not need to have a good relationship with these people, but he must always avoid being worn by these people.
Ji Ning got to know each other and found that except for himself who was under the age of twenty, the rest of the people were all over the age of twenty-five, and according to others, this place was indeed not suitable for young people to eat and wait for death.
So when these people saw Ji Ning's eyes, they were all like looking at monsters.
If you don't go to Hanlin with a good escort, you have to come to the Temple of Literature to endure hardships, is this a lack of heart or what?
Ji Ning didn't care about other people's strange eyes at all, Wu Songzhang finally said: "Ji Ning, let's put it this way, in the next few days, there may be one or two bachelors entering our Liren Academy, in the future, except for the miscellaneous things you don't have to do, you still have to pay more attention to the rest of the things, after all, you are a newcomer, you have to learn more, you have to know how to be humble and respectful, you know?" ”
Ji Ning nodded, he also knew that it was almost time to show the "rules".
He took out a hundred taels of silver to redeem the ticket, handed it to Wu Songzhang, and said, "Master Wu, the students have just arrived, and there are many things that they don't understand, and I hope you and you will take care of them in the future!" ”
Wu Songzhang didn't expect Ji Ning to be so "acquainted", holding the silver exchange ticket in his hand, and he wanted to put it in his arms and keep it for himself.
But seeing that there were many people staring at him next to him, he knew that this silver must be divided among the Jinshi present, and he couldn't get a few taels of silver in the end, but it was a lot of income.
A bachelor named Zhang Zhu came over and said with a smile: "Let's go, Bachelor Ji, it's just time for the lunch break, let's drink together?" ”
Ji Ning said with a smile: "I have to go back early today, tell my family the good news, and I have to visit relatives and friends, and I will make up for this drink later." There's still a little bit of heart here, not a respect......"
As he spoke, Ji Ning took out another hundred taels of silver to redeem the ticket, "It's time to invite you to drink!" ”
Zhang Zhu said with a smile: "Good handwriting, no wonder Bachelor Ji didn't choose to enter the imperial court, the feeling is that he has money on hand." I had heard before that someone had spent a lot of money for the Oiran of Jinling City, and took out 20,000 taels of silver at a time, and said that this was Xie Yuan of the Jiangnan Township Test, wouldn't it be ...... Bachelor Ji, you, right? ”
Ji Ning smiled and said, "In the end, it didn't work out!" ”
At this time, he Ji Ning had spent 20,000 taels of silver to cover Liu Ru is first three days, but in the end, he didn't succeed, but got 25,000 taels, which has been spread by everyone, and Ji Ning has no need to hide.
Zhang Zhu sighed: "Then it's no wonder, it's strange, it's strange." If Ji Bachelor enters the imperial court, he will definitely do a lot in the future, why should he enter the Temple of Literature? ”
Wu Songzhang cleared his throat and said, "You should also be polite to Bachelor Ji in the future, this Master of Bachelor Ji, but when you are a famous scholar of Shen University, you have to take care of it more!" ”
"Wow!"
When everyone heard this, no one dared to despise Ji Ning.
Zhang Zhudao: "Isn't that the father of Master Ji ...... Bachelor of Age? ”
Not only is Ji Ning's mentor Shen Kang famous, but Ji Ning's father Ji Ling is also famous, and they are all outstanding figures in the Temple of Literature.
Ji Ning said: "That's the father!" ”
Before, a group of people were still thinking about how to exploit and squeeze Ji Ning, while letting Ji Ning pay more money to honor them, and on the other hand, they were also ready to let Ji Ning do more drudgery and share their errands, but now when they heard that Ji Ning had such a big background and origin, they were all silent, and they didn't know what to say.
Wu Songzhang said with a smile: "Bachelor Ji was born in a wealthy family, and he is adhering to the legacy of his father, he is a person of loyalty and filial piety, and this is also a model praised by my Confucian Temple. This is the matter that is settled, please! ”
Ji Ning was invited to go to the main hall of the Temple of Literature first, and worshiped the saints and ancestors, and then Ji Ning left the Temple of Literature on the grounds that he had something to do.
Ji Ning doesn't have much of a good impression of these colleagues, and he doesn't have a bad impression, in short, they are just a group of people who are limited by the ideas of the times.
Anyway, he didn't stay in the capital for a while, probably less than half a month, he was going to leave to return to Jinling City Province, this time he also returned to his hometown, and when he came back from Jinling City, it is estimated that after July and August, he will enter the Confucian Temple at that time, whether this group of people will work with him is not necessarily.
