Zhao Xibao took advantage of Lang Zhong's bandaging to observe Wu Neng seriously. found that under Wu Neng's sloppy surface, his facial features looked very good, and he could barely be regarded as a beautiful man, but compared with the prince, it was still far behind.

She also wanted to ask Thorn Shi a few questions, but was interrupted by the panting little peach. "The stinky boy found it, but he struggled and refused to come in, he was emotionally unstable, and we had to be appeased before it stopped, he wanted to go back to the small courtyard, and Xifeng had already accompanied him back."

Zhao Xibao nodded, Xifeng was very thoughtful, although he was a child, he hurt someone after all. There was someone on guard, so she didn't have to worry about the safety of her children. And Xifeng is a safe person, and believes that boys can communicate better with boys. Today, whether it is his own father-in-law who is hurting, or there is no one outside, etc., he needs to be educated well. Without the necessary guidance, your child may go down the wrong path.

The essence of education is to become an adult before becoming a talent.

Wu Neng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he was worried that the child would be left unattended, and that child hated him. After all, it was blood loss, and after the doctor fed a few pills, he fell asleep. Chu Qinzhi asked Xicheng to guard the courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion with guards, prohibiting unrelated people from entering and leaving.

Zhao Xibao sighed, "Lord Wang, look at the huge Thorn History Mansion, there are no servants to serve, Lord Wu has fallen to such a field. Looking at his age, he has already passed forty years old, Lord Wang, what other relatives does Lord Wu have? Chu Qinzhi took her hand and walked outside the mansion, "Wu Neng, forty-one years old, Jiangnan people's clan, the second place in the second class in the fifth year of the first century, and the birth of a jinshi." ”

Zhao Xibao suddenly sighed, "No, Lord Wang, although I am not a member of the Hanlin Academy, my first position is to be sent to Dongzhou City to be a small magistrate." She thought about it seriously, and in the mouths of the people, when talking about the imperial examination jinshi, talking about more first-class and three-person people, the champion list is looking for flowers. The rest of the people seem to have become the foil for the exams that year. You know, everyone has been studying hard for ten years, you see, the fourth place. The fame is far less than that of the previous three.

Zhao Xibao wants to know how those nameless jinshi serve and want to serve the country every year, there are not a few. For a while, it aroused her interest in learning.

"Lord, I remember that in my dynasty, among the new Jinshi, except for the first three people and Chuanyu, the rest of the Jinshi still need to participate in the court examination personally invigilated and approved by the ministers sent by the imperial court after the palace examination. Through the court examination, the jinshi can obtain the status of Shujishi and enter the Hanlin Academy to study. ”

Chu Qinzhi has long been accustomed to her whimsical and leaping thinking. As long as it is a question raised by Madame, no matter what the question is, he will answer it patiently. "Madame has a good memory, the court examination is divided into two sessions, and the second class only needs to get the second class once in the court examination to meet the standard. Officials from the top three need to get the first class twice, which is more difficult. As for the champion list's eye exploration and inheritance, they will directly enter the Hanlin Academy, unless otherwise arranged by the saint. Jinshi who pass the court examination is also called Shujishi. ”

Hanlin Yuan is a place where the imperial court reserves high-level talents, and there has always been a saying that "non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet". The first three people are jinshi, the starting point is higher, and it is also the most stable. The rest of the jinshi, if they become Shujishi, still need to enter the Hanlin Academy to continue their studies before they can obtain official positions. Even if he entered the Hanlin Academy together, the champion Bangyan Tanhua was the editor and editor of the Hanlin Academy, and studied with these scholars. In other words, they have already obtained official positions early. The compilation is from the sixth grade, the compilation is the seventh grade, and the official position obtained by the pass is only from the seventh grade.

After studying at the Hallym Academy, he will take part in the assessment. Those who were rated as first-class were allowed to stay in the Hanlin Temple and obtain official positions. However, these Guji scholars can only obtain the official positions of editing and editing. If the Kujishi is rated poorly, he can only obtain the magistrate at the county level, and the subordinate officials such as the chief of the six departments, the secretary of the department, and the pen post style.

The starting point of the Gurgis is low, and the course of the career is not stable. Among the Fujis, there is still a difference between the second-class and third-class backgrounds. Officials from the second class served as Beijing officials, and the third class served as local officials. The rest of the jinshi who did not become a Shu Jishi will also be assigned different official positions according to the assessment results.

For the jinshi, not only is there a big difference in the difficulty of obtaining official positions, but there is still a great difference in the promotion of official careers in the future. For the promotion of officials, the main focus is on conduct and political achievements. Officials from the first class can obviously get more opportunities for training. Comparatively speaking, the officials from the first-class jinshi are indeed larger than the officials from the Jiji. And the officials who were born in the Ji Ji are also larger than the second and third class jinshi who are not selected by the Ministry of Officials. These second- and third-class jinshi are still talents for the imperial court. After all, even those who can't pass the Jinshi exam can participate in the official assessment and become officials, not to mention these Jinshi who have passed the selection. However, after all, the number of official positions is limited, and there is a shortage of officials. Jinshi who did not become a Shujishi had to wait until there was a vacancy in their current official positions before they could have a chance to take office. So much so that some people have not obtained official positions ten years after being admitted to the Jinshi examination.

After Chu Qinzhi's combing, Zhao Xibao was like an initiation, and he suddenly understood the twists and turns. "Lord Wang, look at my summary. After the nomination of the Golden Palace, the champion list was directly an official. The rest of the people still need to take an additional screening test to become a Shujishi, and enter the Hanlin Academy to assess and divide the official position. The official positions with excellent evaluations are high, and the official positions that fail in the evaluation are low. And there are two and three first-class distinctions, the second class is the Beijing official, and the third class is released. Those who have not become a Jishi are waiting for the officials to be selected, either as officials or waiting for a substitute. ”

Chu Qinzhi praised "Madame is smart", and Zhao Xibao combined the knowledge he had just learned, "Ah, that, I understand." Did you not become a gig, so you were released? Chu Qinzhi shook his head, "Madam, if the champion list is the first or second, then he is the fifth." Such a talent will be placed in the capital as an official no matter what. The officials are in charge of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother has a righteous temperament, and there will be no bribery and suppression in his hands. Then there is only one possibility. ”

Zhao Xibao heard half of it, Chu Qinzhi stopped talking, she suddenly became anxious, pulled his arm and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang, the person who stops halfway through gossip is really the most hateful." Say it, say it. ”

Zhao Xibao didn't realize that his coquettish appearance caught the eyes of another person. He was heartbroken and relieved, heartache was that the former love had been let go by her, and it was gratifying that she had found the person who could make her happy. Zhao Xibao followed Chu Qinzhi's gaze and let go of his hand a little overwhelmed, not to hide the relationship between the two, but a little embarrassed, like the feeling of being caught red-handed by the elders when he fell in love. Chu Qinzhi's eyes sank slightly, madam, it's good!

She coughed, "Aren't you building a canal?" Why do you have time to come over today? Zhong Tingli tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't want to see the scene in front of him. I, I'm here to buy medicine, and some of the canal workers over there have suffered from heat stroke because the weather is too hot. When Zhao Xibao heard this, it was worth it, and he had to quickly find someone to help. The construction of water canals is related to people's livelihood.

She took the little peach, turned a corner, and slipped off to the street next to her to buy herbs. If you don't leave at this time, when will you slip away, it will be embarrassing to be there with both of you. As the two people who were left behind, they knew her careful thoughts, and they didn't say a word. Chu Qinzhi took the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere of the two and made routine inquiries.

"Lord Zhong, as mentioned in the last letter, there is a valley between Yuling and Feiyanling in the Nanling Mountains, and it is difficult to travel. Recent surveys, can we get results? ”

Zhong Tingli mentioned the canal, his eyes were full of sparkling, and his excited expression could not be hidden, "Fortunately, I never gave up, there are two natural rivers in the valley that are very close to each other. One is the Yunhe River in the upper reaches of the Yuan River. The other is Dingshui, a tributary of the Li River. The closest place to the two rivers is at the pond in Bei'an County, about two kilometers apart. The difference in water level between the two rivers is 6 meters, and there are only small mountains such as Tianzhu Ridge and Baishi Ridge with a height of about 30 meters in the middle. ”

"What's next for Lord Zhong?"

Zhong Tingli gestured as he walked, "Wechen discussed with his colleagues that if we make full use of the natural topography of the Yunhe River and the Dingshui River, we can build a dam on the 2-kilometer reservoir southeast of Bei'an County, and build a water nozzle, which splits the abundant water of the Yunhe River into two branches: one flows into the Li River along the South Canal; One returns to the Yuan River through the North Canal. ”

Due to the width of the north canal, the large balance stone embankment to the north canal is long, the south canal is narrow, and the small balance stone embankment to the south canal is short. The water nozzle is not evenly divided, but according to the proportion of three sevens, three points into the Li River, seven points into the Yuan, thus slowing down the turbulent water flow of the North Canal and facilitating navigation. The large and small balance stone embankments are connected at the end of the water nozzle, forming a "human" shape, which is both a barrage and a rolling dam.

In addition, the 'water release stone' is placed on the channel, and at the embankment of 800 meters away from the balance, an 11-meter-long gap is opened to enter the old road of the Yuanjiang River. At the gap, a dam lower than the embankment is built with stones, which can intercept all the river water into the canal during the dry season and ensure the smooth navigation of ships; When a flood occurs, it can overflow over the top of the embankment and discharge into the Yuanjiang River. In this way, the stone embankment not only has the function of regulating the water volume, but also can fully ensure the safe flow of the river.

"Since Lord Zhong has a plan, he still has to carefully check the situation in each territory and plan carefully. Where can ditches be dredged, where can weirs be built, where can wells be drilled and ponds can be opened, or the people can be persuaded to do their own thing, or use public funds, it is imperative to do things on a regular basis. ”

"Wechen understands."

The two chatted while walking, Zhong Tingli's afterglow looked at the small courtyard, she hadn't come back yet. Now, the two of them can no longer play as wantonly as they did when they were children, he is the future heir of the Zhong family, and she is the princess of Yifu. The two have no intersection, if they come and go frequently, the world's spittle stars, one by one, is enough to drown the two of them.

Okay, Zhong Tingli let it go, she doesn't belong to you, and she doesn't belong to you for a long time.

Zhao Xibao waited until dusk before daring to return to the small courtyard. As soon as I entered, I felt quite a headache, there was a master who needed to be coaxed, and a small one had to be taught.
