The white-known crane's brows were already frowning.
Most of the pearls in later generations were artificially cultivated, and they were even artificially synthesized with pearl powder or worse shell powder.
In the future, white-famous cranes had a small fortune, they would not go bankrupt if they bought a truck of pearls with a diameter of 0.3 to 0.5 centimeters. However, such a large pearl was mobilized in the Ming Dynasty, and even hundreds of people could not get it.
When I first knew about Hepu, Bai Minghe just thought that the government oppressed the Zhu people too ruthlessly.
But now it sounds like there are too many people dead on Zhumin. Moreover, the definition given is now a rioter, and there is probably only a line to the extent of rebellion.
"What kind of boss is my boss?" Bai Minghe directly used the word "good" to describe his boss.
Lu He, now renamed Qinghe, smiled slightly: "Young Master doesn't know anything, your boss is still in trouble. Hepu is under Qinzhou's jurisdiction, but Qinzhou is under Lianzhou Prefecture. According to common sense, after Qinzhou is transferred to Lianzhou Prefecture, Hepu should be directly under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, but because Hepu has considerable interests, so..."
Qinghe had explained the official system to Bai Minghe before.
The administrative unit of the lowest level of county regular officials, further down, is the gentry's general management, not the regular officials. An ordinary state can also be understood as a large county, which far exceeds the county in terms of population and economy. The state official is from a fifth-rank official. The prefecture can be understood as a municipal unit, and the chief official is a fourth-rank prefect. Further up, it is the governor's department, which is a provincial unit.
Due to the decline in population and economy, Qinzhou was incorporated into Lianzhou Prefecture, which was reduced by half.
"The magistrate of Qinzhou has been serving as an official there for six years, but this time he still has no chance of promotion. After working for another three years, he will either be transferred to the magistrate or get out of the way. After the Hepu incident, he wanted to hand over Hepu, but Lianzhou Prefecture played a masterpiece, turning Hepu into a low county, and still let Qinzhou manage it."
Bai Fu also told Bai Minghe about the news from the Jinyiwei.
Bai Minghe pressed his forehead: "It seems that this guy is a corrupt official?"
"He wanted to be greedy, but he had no money to give him greedy. Therefore, he was a corrupt official who was so poor that he died. Qinzhou was originally a prefecture, but later it was demoted to a prefecture. There were eleven counties and more than eight hundred villages. Now there are only seven counties and more than four hundred villages, and the population is only one-third of the original one. Yao people have their own system and are not under control at all."
"Where has the population gone?" Bai Minghe asked again.
"After the split of Annan, the border city focused on more and more Han people. Many people ran there, and Annan regarded it as a barrier. So in the past, the Han people were only about one-third of the tax that was in the Ming Dynasty. And the locals privately named that city Siming Mansion!"
Thinking about it, thinking about it! This is missing the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that I escaped because I really couldn't survive in the Ming Dynasty.
"Young Master, let Minglu be a student for Shang Lu!" Bai Fu mentioned this matter again.
Bai Minghe nodded: "This move may not be a good move. Sending Minglu over now will definitely make Lord Yu and Lord Shang feel at ease with me. But in the future, I am afraid that Minglu will be ruined by them, so I only know what the saint said."
"Young Master, Minglu is different from you." Bai Fu said to the point.
It is also this sentence that awakened the white-famous crane.
Yes, Bai Minglu was originally a scholar, and even had a clear smell. He could not keep him by his side all the time. Even if he did not allow him to educate the business, his political views would be absolutely different from his own future.
"Then let's follow this plan." Bai Minghe agreed.
Who would have thought that Bai Fu was even ready for the letter, and he would immediately take it out and cover the private seal of Bai Minghe in front of Bai Minghe. While encapsulating it into the envelope, Bai Fu said: "Young Master, you didn't ask the letter to write it yourself, because you are afraid that you will write it too hard, so I asked the young lady to write it for you."
"You are afraid that I will make them angry when I write a letter!"
"That's right!" Bai Fu laughed a few times with Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe leaned back: "Qinghe, are the gifts for each room ready?"
"Everything is ready, it is calculated based on the head. The gifts in each room are about seventy or eighty taels of silver, which are specialties from the capital and some cloth. Each of them is rewarded from ten to thirty cents to the servants in each room. The general manager prepared a separate gift." Qinghe reported in a low voice.
Bai Fu also said, "Young Master, you are very wise this time. If you come back and give gifts, I will persuade you."
"A few brothers and sisters, each of them is only two or three taels of silver. It is enough to have a heart. No matter how much it is, it will definitely not be a good thing. Did Shen Xiong agree on it?"
"Don't worry, young master, even the words were told to Shen Xiong. The Yinjian Prison Prison had already been handed over to him." Bai Fuxin said that if he was not afraid of wasting a quota for the Imperial College, the other one would not have planned to be taken out from the Bai family.
While the three were talking, Sun Hu ran in from outside and approached Bai Minghe: "Son-in-law, they are here."
Bai Minghe naturally knew who was coming, and the brothers and sisters who received the gift came to thank themselves. When they received the gift, they should naturally thank them. This is etiquette.
Bai Minghe looked at the incense next to him, and the time was about to come.
"Colle the papers!" As soon as Bai Minghe spoke, all his younger siblings stood up from below Bai Minghe and stood beside his table. Then Bai Minghe put away everyone's test papers and placed them respectfully on the table in front of Bai Minghe.
At this time, led by the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the house, Bai Mingqi, Bai Minghe's cousins ​​entered the main hall one by one. The other cousins, who were older than Bai Minghe, were all married. Their share was also their husbands who came to thank him. For younger cousins, just go to Sun Yuanjun's place.
Bai Minghe stood up and bowed: "Brother!"
"Minghe doesn't rush to greet us, let's continue taking the exam for them first."
"The exam has been completed." Bai Minghe replied, and then said to his third-person brothers and sisters: "Go to your sister-in-law and get the gifts I brought to you. Minglu wait a moment."
The white crane named Baiming He stopped, and Qinghe picked up a tight bag next to her. After opening it layer by layer, there was still a piece of oil paper, followed by an ordinary wooden box, and a brocade box.
"Famous Heron, you must study hard."
The white-famous noble took it with respect and did not rush to open it. He was not rushing because he knew that many of his cousins ​​were curious.
Sure enough, when the White Hero wanted to put away the box, a cousin spoke: "Brother Ming Hero, open it and see what gift it is. Such a beautiful box may be a very expensive item!"
The white-known elephant had already received guidance from the white-known elephant and said with a few hesitations: "I'd better go back to the house and see it myself."
"Don't be stingy, let's open our eyes too." Everyone was a little convinced that Bai Minghe must have given his younger brother a very expensive gift.
The white-famous elephant slowly opened the iron box with a very helpless look.
There is only one piece of paper in the box!
At this time of the Ming Dynasty, there were no silver notes. Bai Minghe could not give his younger brother a treasure note, so a piece of paper made many people even more curious.
Several older people approached and after seeing it clearly, they exclaimed in succession.
A blank quotation without a name!
According to the teachings of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, there were three types of people who could serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty. The first type was the imperial examination. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were too few talents in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, only Jinshi could serve as officials. Of course, this was limited to civil officials, and military officials were still mainly hereditary and military merits.
Another type of official who can be an official is called an official. In modern terms, it means to work on the job. After the exam is over, the official will have the opportunity to become an official. As an official, it is generally difficult for the official to become a high-ranking official.
The last type is to be a magistrate. In the early Ming Dynasty, outstanding students in the Imperial College were definitely not lower than those who passed the Jinshi exam, and their future achievements would not be lower than those who passed the Jinshi exam. However, many students also participated in the imperial examinations to prove themselves, but more of them entered the official career after completing the Imperial College study.
Each county only has one to three quotas per year to enter the primary election based on the size of the county. Then it goes to the prefecture and then selects it. Therefore, the number of students enrolled in the Imperial College is less than that of the Imperial College. Moreover, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was only because of the appearance of donation supervision that the Imperial College truly became a breeding ground for third-rate civil officials.
The piece of paper in the hand of the white famous elephant was a piece of Yinjian. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was the easiest to pick up the prison, because he was a juren, but he failed the imperial examination and entered the Imperial College, which represented a powerful person. The tribute prison was also an outstanding talent selected by the prefectures, but the number was smaller than that of the juren. The least was Yinjian, which was the royal grace, which was only given to the outstanding sons and nephews of officials of third rank or above, and to the sons and nephews of officials with great meritorious deeds.
"Thank you brother!" Bai Minglu's attitude of thanking her was like her brother giving her a piece of clothing.
Bai Minglu was originally a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he was not the kind of person who liked to be excited. This reaction was a normal reaction in the eyes of other Bai family members.
But at this moment, Qinghe suddenly said: "Young Master, maybe the second master can still get the top scorer!"
"The top scholar is not a good meal, so being an official smoothly is the right way." Bai Minghe said to Qinghe.
The white famous elephant just held the brocade box for a long time and said, "I have confidence, the top three in the provincial examination."
"The first three are useless. You should be an official. If you go to the Imperial College honestly, I will do it for you. I will study for a few years to protect you as a Zhongshuo Sect, and then start to earn a degree. At the age of 30, you will reach the fifth rank of the Hanlin Academy. Only after you enter the Hanlin Academy will your official career be considered the real beginning. If you have the skill of talking nonsense to me, it is better to go to a book!"
