() As a new Jinshi, Wang Wei did not have much time to relax as he did that day, because after the palace examination, he still needed a civil service examination to truly obtain the official status.

The official examination tests four items: "body, speech, writing, and judgment." The body is appearance, the speech is eloquence, the book is calligraphy, and the judgment is judging cases. After passing the official examination, you can start from "new"

The status of "jinshi" becomes "former scholar", which can also be said to be the selection of people. After the selection, they can be awarded the official position. Generally speaking, they can only be released and awarded the official title after the three-year election period.

Of course, it’s not surprising that people who are unlucky will stay in the election for five, six, seven or eight years.

In the final analysis, the official examination is just a formal examination. Personality, speech, and writing are all no problem for more than 20 Jinshi. There is nothing to talk about in terms of judging cases. They are all cases recorded in the law.

, as long as you have a little understanding, you can answer it.

Wang Wei was originally a little worried about whether he would be raped by someone. After all, the former minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was Jiang Jiao's younger brother Jiang Hui. Although he was masturbated by Song Jing, it didn't last long, so he was afraid that his influence was still there.

However, the successful passing of the official examination proved that everything was caused by Wang Wei's own dark psychology. Maybe others did not take him as a junior Jinshi at all.

Of course Wang Wei didn't know that in addition to Song Jing supporting him, the powerful man named Gao next to the emperor also secretly took care of him. Wang Wei's current status was enough for Gao Lishi to help him.

Gao Lishi is helping him now, but it is not just because Wang Wei saved his wife, but because he realizes that Wang Wei's ability is not just some fictitious thing in literature, but a young man with practical talents.

, he felt that such young people should be able to go far, and it would not be a bad thing to make friends early.

Rankings will also be published after the official examination. This time, Wang Wei ranked first. It can be said that he did his part. If the ranking of the imperial examination is the most influential among the people, then the ranking of the official examination is the most influential in the officialdom.

.

When it comes to being an official and having power, Wang Wei is always full of motivation, so it is very normal to easily win the first place. He confirms that he has the eighth-grade Chengfeng Lang's prose officer, and can be awarded the eighth-grade

After becoming a ministerial official, Wang Wei became more relaxed because this unofficial official was already higher than his own in the dream.

It seems that the gold content of my third place on the list is higher than the gold content of the number one in my dream. At least I don't have to worry about doing anything anymore. Tai Lecheng, the official from the eighth grade.

After getting his bronze "fish charm" and dark green official robe, Wang Wei felt even more uneasy, feeling that his efforts had finally paid off.

The "fish charm" is regarded as the official's certificate. It is made of wood or metal and is shaped like a fish. It is divided into two pieces, the left and right pieces, with small holes cut in it for fastening.

The fish charm is engraved with the name of the official, the yamen he works for, the level of his official position, the salary and the benefits he enjoys when traveling, etc. Of course, Wang Wei is not yet in the yamen, but he has his rank and salary.

The main purpose of the fish talisman is to prove the identity of officials, which can be used for verification when summoned to enter and exit the palace.

"New Book of Tang·Che Fu Zhi" records: "Those who possess the fish talisman will respond to orders based on their reputation." The materials used to make the fish talisman are directly related to the official's official title.

At that time, all fish charms used by princes and officials of third rank or above were made of gold to show their high rank and status;

The fish charms of officials above the fifth rank are made of silver; those of officials below the sixth rank are made of copper. Officials above the fifth rank also have special bags for storing fish charms, called "fish bags". By the time of Wu Zetian, fish charms

It was once changed to a "turtle talisman" shaped like a turtle, which has the same purpose as a fish talisman.

At this time, logically Wang Wei should have relaxed, but in fact he was even busier, because after becoming a Jinshi and taking the official examination, he had to hold many banquets. The collective name of these many banquets is

"Guan Yan", the Apricot Garden Flower Exploration Banquet is one of the important activities.

The Tanhua Banquet is a special banquet for the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty. It is similar to the Qionglin Banquet in the Song Dynasty and the Enrong Banquet in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Sometimes even the emperor would attend and drink with the Jinshi.

Serve the emperor even more wholeheartedly.

Of course, this was just the wishful thinking of the emperors. The world was not owned by the emperor alone, but shared by the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats.

The first location of the flower-hunting banquet was in the apricot garden. This apricot garden was not a rare garden in Chang'an. Most scholarly families would have one. Naturally, there was also an apricot garden covering a large area in Taixue.

Apricot altars are often placed in apricot orchards. It is said that Confucius lectured and discussed scriptures under the apricot grove. In order to encourage future generations to study Confucian culture and understand Confucian thought, the ancestors built an apricot altar under the shade of the locust tree in the apricot orchard.

The elders often come here to teach the younger generations tirelessly. There are four stone reliefs with exquisite craftsmanship around the platform of Xingtan, namely Confucius "Traveling Around the Countries", "On Mu Gongshuang", "Lectures at Xingtan", "

The allusion of Xiang Xiang, the piano master.

Because the place where Confucius lectured was full of apricot trees, people called it the "apricot altar." Later, the apricot altar became a synonym for people's pursuit of knowledge and ideals.

After Confucius passed away, his student Zigong planted many regular script trees around his mausoleum. At that time, the tomb of King Wen of Zhou in Henan was filled with regular script trees. Because both of them were models representing Chinese culture, later generations

Therefore, "model" is used as a synonym for the object that people admire and learn from.

The activities in Xingyuan were naturally to pay homage to the masters and other elders, such as Zhang Ting, the Minister of Rites, and the ministers and assistants in the Political Hall, all of whom the new Jinshi needed to thank.

Since the day of the flower-hunting banquet can also be regarded as a carnival day for the entire Chang'an, after all, after the activities in the Xingyuan Garden, all the Jinshi will drive horses and race around the famous gardens of Chang'an, picking up precious flowers wherever they go.

At the same time, there was a banquet given by the emperor at the Qujiang Pond, where people could drink carnivally without getting drunk.

The people of Chang'an can also join in this feast. Even if they cannot go to the royal Qujiang Pool, the Xingyuan Garden is an open public building. The more leisurely people can go to the Xingyuan Garden to watch the excitement.

Xiulan came to Wubenfang where Taixue was located that day, not to watch the excitement, but after being stimulated and determined to change her destiny, she planned to use her previous income to buy textbooks for elementary school.

I want to learn to write.

The girl's rebellious mentality even made her ignore her own gender, and because she was the third among the five children in the family, neither above nor below, and the least valued, her parents neglected to discipline her, which led to her having problems.

This kind of "lawless" character.

In the past, Xiulan always bought food to satisfy her hunger after receiving her income. After all, the family's financial pressure was great, so she could barely have enough food and clothing. Her two brothers had to go to the fields to do farm work, so they naturally had to eat more.

When her younger brother and younger sister were growing taller, she couldn't fight for food with her younger brother and sister, so she had to go out with her father during the annual imperial examination to earn some extra money.

Unexpectedly, she was really lucky this time. When she met a child from a generous family like Wang Wei, although part of the reward she received had to be handed over to her father, there was still a lot left over, enough for her to buy books on elementary school.

.

But Xiulan didn't dare to tell others about buying books. She always felt that if she did so, she would be despised by some people. Even if she wasn't despised, she would be very confused. She couldn't even eat enough, so why would she buy books?

?

But Xiulan knew that if she could read and write well, she could at least be a bookkeeper who kept accounts, and being a maid in a wealthy family would be a bonus. She felt that this was the first step to change her destiny.

step.

However, at this time, Xiulan was still wearing a very rustic short shirt and a young man's attire. She looked like a malnourished young man. Because she was always hungry and rarely had enough to eat, Xiulan

His appearance is not long at all. Although his eyes are big and his eyebrows are thick, his face is really ordinary and cannot make a deep impression on others.

Xiulan didn't expect such a coincidence in the world. It was a handsome man in a green shirt, holding a book and frowning, as if he was dissatisfied with the quality of the book. And this handsome man,

It was the owner of the post he sent me that day - Wang Wei.

How could he appear in this newly opened but already famous bookstore? As a child of an aristocratic family, there must be countless books at home... Xiulan thought with some confusion.

The reason why this bookstore is famous is that the books in it are slightly cheaper, and the quality of the paper is better than that of other bookstores. After all, some bookstores are still selling bamboo slips popular in the Han Dynasty...

The reason why Wang Wei appears here is very simple. This bookstore is an industry created by him and Cui Yingluo. The improvement of papermaking and printing was naturally proposed by Wang Wei, Cui Yingluo perfected it, and then convened

The product of excellent craftsmen putting it into practice.

Its advantage is naturally that it reduces the price of books, but of course it does not drop too much. This is just a pilot project. Wang Wei does not want to popularize books so quickly, because this improvement is relatively simple and cannot form technical barriers, and this book

He really couldn't stand the quality.

As a politician who wanted to monopolize rumors and public opinion in ancient times, what he had to do was to become the real leader in the papermaking and printing industries. He had to at least improve his technology to a certain level so that he could gradually spread the technology.

This time Wang Wei was going to Xingyuan for a banquet. He passed by his bookstore called "Xinhua" on horseback. Naturally, he was interested in inspecting it. After all, he was busy with the imperial examination some time ago. Even if he had seen the finished product, it was just a hasty review.

However, he now fully trusts Cui Yingluo's scientific and technological talents.

In Wang Wei's view, Cui Yingluo is a real genius, comparable to figures like Newton and Einstein, and her role is much greater than that of a liberal arts monk and a well-known elite who only knows how to fight for power and gain.
