After six days of sailing, this morning, Fanning's ship finally arrived in the capital, and the boat entered the city through the Datong Gate via the Bianhe River.

This time, in addition to the bag of food prepared for him by his mother, Fan Ning went north this time, and the others were three boxes of Tianhuangshi, about 400 pieces, which were the carving rough stones he selected for Zhu Zhe, and he specially selected them from thousands of Tianhuangshi.

As soon as the ship reached the city gate, a tax collector stood up and shouted: "Check the ship!" ”

The captain hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are a passenger ship, and there is a new branch of Jinshi on board, who has just returned home to visit relatives and return to Beijing." ”

The first tax collector looked at it, and immediately recognized Fan Ning, when he rode a horse and praised the street, many people in the capital had seen Fan Ning, and this tax collector had also seen it.

"It turned out to be Fan Jinshi, it's rude!"

Fan Ning didn't think of using the status of Jinshi to evade taxes, anyway, the taxes paid now can be deducted from the store, Fan Ning smiled: "I brought three boxes of stones, if I need to pay taxes, I can pay taxes normally." ”

The tax collector was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Fan Ning to take the initiative to admit that he had brought something, he didn't know whether he should check the tax or not, so he hesitated and said, "Can you let me take a look?" ”

Fanning asked the boatman to carry out the three large boxes, and when he opened the lids, they were filled with yellow stones.

The tax collector did not know the stone, so he asked, "Is this stone for sale?" ”

Fanning shook his head, "It's for a friend to practice carving."

The tax collector waved his hand, "Release!" ”

He said to Fan Ning again: "Since it is self-contained, there is no need to pay taxes, Fan Jinshi, please enter the city!" ”

"Thank you!"

The ship staggered towards the city gate, and all the crew breathed a sigh of relief, they were frightened by Fanning's actions just now, Fanning didn't have taxable goods, but they did! It's all hidden in the cabin.

But the boss of the boat secretly gave Fanning a thumbs up, the more he hid, the more suspicious the tax collector became, the more he wanted to check on you, Fanning took the initiative to admit that he had three boxes of stones, and opened them to show the tax collectors, but they would not come.

Fanning just smiled apologetically, he didn't know that the boatmen were carrying bootleggies.

The boat then turned into the Cao River, and finally stopped outside the old Cao Gate, from where it was only a mile from the inner city to Fanning's temporary quarters, and was the nearest dock for boats.

Fanning paid for the boat, said goodbye to the boatmen, and hired an ox cart to carry his three large boxes back to his lodgings.

Fanning's residence is still the courtyard outside the old Cao Gate, and he paid a year's rent last fall, which is not due until this fall.

This courtyard was uninhabited, Fanning's luggage was still in the room, and the coachman helped him move three boxes of Tianhuangshi into the house, and Fanning closed the courtyard door.

Returning to this familiar courtyard, Fanning actually had a sense of being separated from the world, but it was as if he had only left here yesterday.

Fanning shook his head, shook off the emotions in his heart, cleaned up briefly, and went out for lunch.

After lunch, Fan Ning came to Taixue, which is located in the south of the outer city, last time he came to Zhao Zongshi once, but today he did not come to Taixue, but came to Guozijian to report.

The Song Dynasty's Guozijian was not only the highest institution of learning, but also the highest educational institution, as well as the official publishing institution, and in the Qingli Reform, the scale of Taixue expanded rapidly, from the initial number of more than 100 to more than 500.

To a certain extent, Guozijian is Taixue, and almost all the officials of Guozijian are professors of Taixue, and they have a dual identity, they are both officials and professors of Guozijian.

Of course, Fanning didn't come to be a professor, and he didn't know what he could do.

His official position is the secretary of the province orthography, but the Song Dynasty is characterized by a pit filled with countless turnips, the official position of secretary province orthography has been held by many people, only a very few people are actual officials, and the others are just hanging an official name and doing other things.

This is how Fan Ning was arranged to be in the Guozijian, and other boys and scholars have to continue to study, but Fan Ning is not, he has a salary and a formal official position, he must do something.

Guozijian official office is on the left side of the Taixue gate, it is a very large courtyard, the gate has a gatehouse, but the gatehouse is relatively old, the red paint on the wooden pillar of the gate has been mottled and peeled off, there is a plaque hanging in the middle of the gate, gold characters on a black background, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance write the three words of Guozijian.

This is the Ministry of Education of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is hard to imagine that the Ministry of Education of the Great Song Dynasty, which has always attached great importance to literature and military force, and attaches great importance to education, is actually such an inconspicuous courtyard.

However, things can't just look at the surface, for example, the state schools and county schools in the Great Song Dynasty are all independent and rarely accept the supervision and jurisdiction of the Guozi, and for example, the large-scale imperial examination is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and has nothing to do with the Guozijian.

Most of the duties of the Guozijian were only responsible for the education of the four highest institutions of the Great Song Dynasty and the review of the Great Song textbooks, and in addition, he would also convey some of the latest regulations of the imperial court to the local government schools.

Fan Ning walked into this slightly shabby official office, which was also the most inconspicuous official office he had ever seen, and even the county government of Wu County was a little bigger than it.

Guozijian Guanya is a large courtyard, covering an area of about six acres, the central axis is directly opposite the Guozijian Hall, the right is the official room of the Guozi sacrificial wine, and the left is the official room of the two Guozi Siye.

On either side of the large courtyard are two long rows of houses, which are the official quarters of the officials of the Guozijian.

Of course, the officials of Guozijian are also professors of Taixue, and they have a large and bright room in Taixue, so the conditions here are a little worse, and they don't care.

Fan Ning didn't know who to look for, and when he was hesitating, a middle-aged official next to him came over and asked, "Are you a student?" ”

He saw that Fanning was not very old, and regarded him as too much of a student.

Fan Ning hurriedly said: "I'm a boy from the Ministry of Officials to Guozijian, I don't know who to find?" ”

"You're here to read?" The middle-aged official asked again.

Fanning shook his head, "I have an official official document, not here to study!" ”

"I see, you're Fanning!"

The middle-aged official suddenly realized that during this time, the officials of the DPRK and China were talking about it, and Guozijian wanted to have the youngest official, Fan Ning, the first place in the boy section, and the official family assigned him to Guozijian.

Fanning smiled and nodded, "I'm Fanning!" ”

"You come with me!"

The official smiled, took Fan Ning to the official room of the Guozijian Division, and said to Fanning: "At present, the Guozijian sacrificial wine is concurrently served by Song Qi, a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, he is generally not in the Guozijian, and the daily affairs of the Guozijian are presided over by two divisions, the right division, Hu Ming, is in charge of Taixue education, and the left division, Liu Chen, is responsible for the internal affairs of the Guozijian, so you should report to Liu Chen." ”

"Then Liu Siye is not here today?"

The middle-aged official smiled slightly, "Aren't I standing in front of you?" ”

Fan Ning was immediately embarrassed, it turned out that this middle-aged official was Liu Chen, the chief official in charge of the daily affairs of Guozijian.

Fan Ning hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The student didn't know it was Liu Siye, it was rude!" ”

"You're welcome, Fan Shaoguan, please come in!"

Fan Ning followed him into the official room, Liu Chen invited Fan Ning to sit down, and asked the tea boy to serve tea.

Liu Chen smiled and asked, "When will you come back?" ”

"The student just came back this morning!"

"Actually, you can rest for another three days, don't be in such a hurry, settle down, and it's not too late to report again."

"Mostly nothing? There are also student residences, and when they participated in the imperial examination, they rented a private house, which did not expire until the end of the year. ”

Liu Chen nodded, sat down in his seat, took out a file bag from the drawer, and pulled out a thick stack of official inscriptions from it, he smiled bitterly and said: "This time, the officials gave us twenty-seven Jinshi from the Guozijian, except for you, the others are all from the same Jinshi, and we need to arrange a place to go." ”

Fan Ning understands that this is the arrangement of alternate officers, and they will be directly delegated to the four major Taixue or important state schools to serve as doctors, professors and other positions.

For example, the famous Qin Hui, although he was a Jinshi and the first, but he couldn't do it backstage, so he was still sent to Guozijian as an alternate officer and was sent to Mizhou as a professor.

Liu Chen found Fan Ning's inscription and said with a slight smile: "You are a Beijing official, and you will directly serve in our Guozijian official office, I asked Xianggong Wen, how to arrange your position?" Wen Xianggong said that the Son of Heaven still wants you to continue to study, so although it is a post, he will not give you specific things to do, you can understand! ”

Fan Ning nodded silently, of course he knew that he was only thirteen years old, where would he give himself a real job.

Liu Chen glanced at Fan Ning, and said: "I think about it again, you are the eighth product of the Shilang, so you will be the superintendent of the country!" ”

The inspector is only a position, not a position, just like a professor is also a position, and teachers in Taixue can be appointed as professors, but their actual official position is that of a five-rank doctor or a six-rank direct lecture or an eight-rank teaching assistant.

There are six inspectors of Guozijian, who are not only responsible for maintaining the order of Taixue's teaching, but also often go to the state capitals to supervise and understand the teaching situation in the local area.

The biggest feature of the position of inspector is that there is no fixed thing, when something comes, he is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and when he has nothing to do, he sits in the official room all day and drinks tea.

As long as Liu Chen doesn't give Fan Ning specific things, he, the school inspector, will be idle.

Liu Chen only set Fan Ning's official position in a big way, but the specific reporting arrangements were in charge of Guozi Jian Cheng.

Of course, there is more than one Guozi Supervisor, at least a dozen people, but most of them are holding the title of Beijing official to serve in the local government.

There are three Guozijian Cheng who have served as substantive posts, one of whom is in charge of textbook publishing, and has nothing to do with Fanning.

Another person in charge of education, this is the reason why Liu Chen asked him just now if he was a boy who came to study, if Su Liang came to report, he had to find the Guozi supervisor in charge of education.

Fan Ning looked for the third Guozijian Cheng, who was the official in charge of internal affairs, equivalent to the director of the Guozijian Office.

This Guozi Jian is named Jiang Yan, who was a Jinshi in the previous term, and became a Beijing official after serving as an alternate official for four years, indicating that he has someone in the court.

Everyone calls him Jiang Jiancheng, this title will feel a little unpleasant when you first come into contact, and it will make people misunderstand Jiang Traitor, but it doesn't matter if you get used to it.

Jiang Yan was about thirty years old, tall and thin, with slightly dark skin, and he looked shrewd and capable, with a gentle attitude and a smile on his face all the time.

Jiang Yan filled out a form for him, and asked with a smile: "Does Young Official Fan need to stay in Taixue?" ”

Although Taixue's accommodation is cheap, there are many rules, Fan Ning doesn't like it, he shook his head, "I have a place to live, I don't need to think about it." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you about the benefits!"

Fanning suddenly had a spirit, he wanted to know how much he had to pay for a month?

Jiang Yan saw that he was in good spirits, so he remembered that when he first joined the company, he couldn't help but smile and said: "You are the eighth product to Shilang, the monthly salary is seventeen yuan per month, and the other year is given twelve horses of silk, and thirty taels of cotton, because you are not staying in Taixue, Guozijian will give you a rental subsidy of two yuan per month, a food subsidy of consistent money per month, and ice charcoal money in summer and winter." ”

Fan Ning secretly sighed in his heart, the monthly salary plus subsidy is almost 20 yuan, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of 20,000 yuan in later generations, there is a cooling fee in summer, a heating fee in winter, and twelve pieces of cloth and thirty taels of cotton every year, he is still a grassroots official of Qingshui Yamen, it seems that the salary and welfare of civil servants in the Song Dynasty are really good.
