Chapter 9 Champion Building

The reason why the fourth floor is set as a teahouse is because this fourth floor is the highest and has an open view on all sides. Guests can enjoy the surrounding scenery while drinking tea, this champion tower is the tallest building in the vicinity, so the magnificent nature that rises above the bottom attracts many vassal and elegant nobles.

Above the fourth floor there was a small attic, which housed only the most famous scholars of the Celestial Empire. It is said that if you want to enter this pavilion, you must at least be a jinshi.

In this imperial examination, about 2,000 people were raised to participate in the capital examination. After the first round, there will only be 800 people left, and this extremely high elimination rate also shows how much gold is involved.

After the first round, he is a tribute, and at this time he cannot be regarded as a jinshi. Only those who can still be on the list after the second round of exams can be regarded as Jinshi, but this second round is even more cruel than the first round.

After surviving the second round, there were only fifty people left. These fifty people are collectively referred to as Jinshi, and among these fifty Jinshi, they are divided into three grades.

There are three people in the first class, the first in the first class is the champion, the second is Bangyan, and the third is Tanhua.

The second class is twenty people, called Jinshi origin.

The third is the rest of the fifty, and they are called Tongjinshi.

Originally, more than 2,000 people took the exam, but only 50 people were able to get the name of Jinshi in the end. From this, you can also see the gold content of the imperial examination, so it is naturally more rare to enter the attic on the highest floor of this restaurant.

However, the high standard of the restaurant not only did not make it deserted, but under this very gimmicky rendering. After each imperial examination, all 50 Zhongjinshi will come to the top floor of this restaurant to enjoy the spectacle and honor of 10,000 worshippers.

The restaurant is very open and the surrounding scenery is good. Every time the imperial examination is over, and the emperor list is revealed, the people of Zhongjinshi will be invited by the hotel owner to come to the Zhuangyuan Building to receive congratulations and worship from everyone.

The owner of the hotel not only does not ask for any of these Jinshi, but everyone can get a large amount of silver and expensive gifts from the hotel.

Gifts are secondary, and the most important thing is to accept the honor of being worshiped by thousands of people, which is simply intoxicating. Many people have paid sky-high prices to get on the top of the Champion Pavilion to take a look, but they have been rejected by the boss.

Therefore, this champion tower has almost become the most dazzling building in the capital except for the imperial palace, and it is said that once the emperor also personally climbed this champion tower and mentioned the imperial pen document on it.

After that incident, this champion building has an additional layer of official identity. Many officials of the DPRK and China who want to squeeze or secretly dismantle Taiwan have become jealous and dare not target it in the slightest.

Mo Sang raised his eyes and looked at the Champion Pavilion high above, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that this trip must be climbed to take a look, and he must enter with the highest identity!

Mo Sang followed Fu Bo into the Champion Building, and a young and beautiful maid walked over and said like Mo Sang bowed slightly.

"Childe is going to Beijing for the exam? We are already full, may I ask if Childe has a reservation?"

Mo Sang stretched out a hand and gently pointed at Fu Bo, who took out two jade plaques from his arms, one with the word "Tian" written on it, and the other with the word "from" written on it. Although the jade plaques on both sides are jade, the Tianzi jade plaque is obviously much warmer, and the jade plaque is relatively simple, and it should be made of the cheapest scraps.

The woman looked at the jade card and said to a group behind her.

"Childe is a guest of Tianzifang, hurry up and lead Childe upstairs. ”

The woman was smiling, neither humble nor arrogant. For these scholars, she naturally knows what to do and what not to do. As for those rich people who deal with drunken stomachs and fat intestines, they can't say anything, and they must not show flattery, otherwise it will seem that the hotel is not high-grade and does not conform to the habits of scholars.

Mo Sang didn't say much, and followed the guys in the store up to the third floor. The Tianzi room is the best room here, not only has all kinds of furniture in the room, but also has some books related to the imperial examination.

I think this is to welcome those who come to the exam, even if they know that they will not read much or even not read at all, they must have it, so as to show the dignity and difference of the reader.

Mo Sang briefly looked at the room, the environment was very good, and there were no messy things that were in the way. After a few simple words, he threw a few copper plates to the shopkeeper and sent him away

Seeing that Mo Sang understood the rules, this guy took the initiative to reward some copper coins, and he also smiled, although the money was not much, it was better than nothing. If Mo Sang insisted on not giving it, the shopkeeper would not dare to open his mouth to ask for it, after all, the guests of Tianzifang were not something he could offend.

Mo Sang simply flipped through the books on the shelves, and put them down when he felt that there was nothing he was interested in. Most of the books here are exams, but Mossan is already familiar with them, and even the occasional typo in the books can be clearly recognized.

Mo Sang walked to the window and watched the traffic in the streets, feeling that it was still early to go out for a walk. At this time, Fu Bo should have arrived in the backyard of the inn, and Mo Sang knew that Fu Bo was old and had to take care of himself along the way, so he must be very tired, so he did not bother him.

This capital is naturally as expensive as gold, and Fu Bo is just a subordinate, and it is impossible to live in the store like Mo San. And in order to take care of the entourage brought by those distinguished guests and not make them pay more, the inn opened a small courtyard at the back door for those entourages to live. Although the environment is not as good as the store, it may be good to have a place to live.

You must know that the cheapest room in this champion building also costs one tael of silver for a day at this time, and thirty taels a month. Thirty taels of silver is enough to buy a small courtyard in Qingshi Town!

Although Mo Sang usually doesn't care about these things, he still knows the approximate price. In this hotel, there is a special subordinate for each owner of the Tianzi room, so there is no need for Fuber to help here.

Mo Sang walked out of the inn and walked straight to the main road of the capital, which is the most prosperous part of the capital. Although the capital is large, it is built very regularly, and most of the houses are built according to the rectangular shape.

From above, it looks like a giant chessboard, so Mossan can find it just by remembering that the street where he lives.

There are also guards patrolling some of the wide streets, who will also provide directions.

The Zhuangyuan Building is not far from the main road, and it took about half an hour to get there. It was afternoon and there were a lot of people on the streets. The sound of selling, bargaining, bowing and whispering one after another.

Mo Sang looked at the novelty, and unknowingly arrived outside the palace along the way.
