The envoy from the imperial court is not a big man, but a seven-grade loose official, called Nian Duchun.

This person is over thirty years old, with a mustache on his chin, and he has a very happy conversation with Cheng County Order, and they talk about some county governance methods.

For the Wang family, and even Wang Xu, the performance of the twilight of the year is relatively flat.

Wang Dafa couldn't help but be honestly afraid, lest he did something inconsiderate and offended the envoys from the imperial court.

Only Wang Xu secretly figured it out, guessing that the attitude of the twilight of the year was probably not because of the Wang family, but because of the position.

Cheng Guangrong, the commander of Liyang County, belongs to the Hanmen family, even if Wang Xu has been a prodigy since he was a child, and he worshipped Xue Mushan as a teacher a few years ago, but because he was born as a squire, Cheng Guangrong is still relatively distant from him.

Right now, Nian Duchun can talk to Cheng Guangrong very happily, but he doesn't smile at him, a great Confucian disciple, most likely from the Han Party, and he naturally doesn't like him, a reserve member of the Zhu Party.

After all, the Zhu Party and the Han Party are opposed, and the more people like Wang Xu, the stronger the Zhu Party will be in the future.

This makes the Han Party, who firmly believes that Zhumen's wine and meat stink and there are frozen bones on the road, how can he have a good impression of him.

The attitude of the late spring is bland, not cold, I am afraid it is also because of the relationship between the Wang family to help the victims, otherwise the attitude will be worse.

"Is the incense case ready?"

Stepping into the gate of the Wang family, Nian Duchun looked at the Wang family's mansion, looked at the decoration and specifications inside, and asked coyly.

"Ready, please come in, sir." Wang Dafa is a figure in the countryside, and he is more nervous in the face of the imperial envoy.

Nian Duchun didn't say much, followed everyone to the middle hall, saw the incense case in front of the middle hall, and said: "Take the order!" ”

The literati of Confucianism are in charge, talking about the unity of words and deeds, and they do not attach importance to the ritual of kneeling.

The Wang family stood behind the incense case, and the spring began to read the holy decree.

It is said that it is a holy decree, but in fact, this decree was not issued in the name of the emperor, but only in the name of the household.

The holy decree said that the Wang family dedicated themselves to public service, united the township, spared no family wealth, had the courage to provide disaster relief, and made an example of the squire, and deserved to be rewarded.

When he got to the back, Nian Duchun changed his words again, and said in a low voice: "Jinshan Mansion, Liyang County, Jiuquan Town, the squire Wang Dafa, has meritorious service for disaster relief, and he is from the same person's background.

Mrs. Wang teaches her son well, and she has meritorious service in disaster relief.

Wang Xu, the son of the Wang family, has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and has given the quota for admission to Guozijian.

In the unity of the Wang family, the disaster relief has meritorious, given, five years of tax exemption, given, the plaque of the house of goodness, given, 20,000 acres of fertile land, Qin this!! ”

At the end of the reading, Nian Duchun accepted the holy decree and said: "Wang Dafa, take the decree!" ”

"Grass King Dafa, take the order!"

Wang Dafa took the holy decree, respectfully enshrined it on the incense table, and then invited: "Nian, there are already wine and food prepared at home, it is better to leave after lunch." ”

"No need, this official only eats green vegetables and tofu every day, and the wine and dishes you prepare will not be to my liking."

After saying this, Nian Duchun looked at Wang Xu deeply, and turned around and left with the people.

Looking at the back of the twilight of the year, Wang Xu had displeasure in his eyes, a small seven-grade official, and his official authority was not small.

What's wrong with the landlord's house, eat your grain.

I only eat green vegetables and tofu every day, and the Wang family's lunch will not be satisfactory, what do you mean, to be happy with poverty, ashamed of luxury, and disdain to be with the squire?

Good guy, you think you are Hai Rui, fortunately you didn't bring your family here, otherwise you would give your family a little melon and fruit to eat, do you want to learn from Hai Jui when you go back and starve them to death?

Pedantic, really pedantic.

If you don't learn how to deal with the squire, and you still want to be an official, no wonder you are just a loose official of the seventh grade, with a name but no power.

This kind of person is sent out, and he has to come back after a few years, which official wants to make political achievements, can he not deal with the gentry clan, and he didn't see Cheng Guangrong, who has been a county magistrate all his life and was born in a cold party, also has to look down on the gentry calmly, and dare not offend.

"This young adult doesn't seem to like us very much."

When the twilight of the year left, Wang Dafa held the holy decree and said a little strangely.

When Wang Xu heard this, he smiled disappreciatively: "We are not silver, how can everyone like it, even if it is silver, some people regard it as dung." You better pack up as soon as possible and enshrine the holy decree in the ancestral shrine, with this holy purpose, the three major families of Jiuquan Town can only be our head in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, it's important."

Wang Dafa hurriedly found someone to invite the three elders, as well as the decent people in the town, to enshrine the holy decree in the ancestral shrine in front of the whole town.

Wang Xu did not participate in this, but was thinking about the matter of Guozijian.

Guozijian, as the name suggests, is a Taixue institution established by the imperial court, a place dedicated to cultivating talents for the country.

In the Guozi Prison, a ten-year education system is implemented, and only officials with five grades or above can have a quota for selecting outstanding children and sending them to the Guozi Prison.

After entering the Guozijian, you don't need to participate in the county examination "Examination of Children", the government examination "Examination of Xiucai", and the state examination of "Examination of Lifting People".

Counting up, the admission quota of Guozijian should be counted as the grace of the imperial court to officials above the fifth rank.

Officials above the fifth grade are at least a prefect, no matter what the knowledge of your juniors is, there is a place to enter the Guozijian, and at least one person in the future.

In this way, even if you are not good at school, you can have a place after your father's death, and you will not be defeated in a swoop.

However, Guozijian also has another name, called a nursing home.

At the beginning, when Guozijian first appeared, the officials with a quota sent their most proud heirs, and the elites gathered, and there were many people in the middle of the jinshi.

Later, because the people who came out of Guozijian directly crossed the two levels of Tongsheng and Xiucai, and a fool could also be a lifter, the quota of Guozijian became tasteless, and it became a place for meritorious children who did not learn and did not know how to gain fame.

Many people think that the people who come out of Guozijian are not as solid in their knowledge as those who have been admitted all the way, nor are they as valuable as those who have been admitted all the way.

Slowly, the officials with a quota changed from selecting the most proud heirs of the family and sending them to the Guozijian to study, to changing to second-class talents, so that the first-class talents could pass the normal scientific examination and climb up step by step.

The current Guozijian is such an embarrassing phenomenon.

The students in it are all meritorious children, who have been in the cold for ten years, and they have a meritorious name without taking the exam, and then they honestly wait for the official to be replaced.

If there is a vacancy, start from the eight-rank official, slowly climb up, strive to make political achievements, and get a fellow jinshi.

Because it is different from the people who are normally admitted, it is because of the patronage of their parents that they have a fame, so this kind of fame has always been despised in Shilin.

It's not that people who think that the imperial examination is hopeless and can only go off the rails, they will never enter the national prison, and the reward for the number of places in the national prison is also very chicken for Wang Xu.

"This wave of rewards seems to be huge, but in fact, it is only 20,000 acres of fertile land, which is tax-free for five years, which is the real money taken out by the imperial court. As for the origin of the same person, Mrs. Qipin's order is just a false name, and those serious people in the county who are eight books will not be able to be officials, let alone the honorary birth of the same person.

However, it is not all without gain, the Wang family has a seven-grade wife, and the cards of the same person are in, not to mention, Liyang County is unimpeded. The county order is only a seven-rank official, and he is at the same level as the seven-rank lady, and if he wants to talk about the Wang family, at least he has to come forward from Jinshan Mansion.

With this card, some plans can also be carried out, the current Wang family, the family background is still shallow, I have to properly enhance the strength of the Wang family. ”

Wang Xu has thought in his eyes, he comes from modern times, not only can he copy poems, but also many things can be copied.

For example, there are many ways to make a fortune by making glass, making salt by soil method, and making steel by soil method.

didn't act before, but it was just a little squire whose foundation was too thin and didn't even have fame, and he took out those things not to gather wealth, but to find death.

Now, with the support of Confucianism behind him, the Wang family has also changed from a squire to a famous county tycoon, and some things can be done.
