Mr. Wang’s original name was Wang Quantai. In the past, he could be considered a well-known guy in the court, and his name was pretty good. Of course, he was also considered a genius when he was young, and he was very important to the court and the entire empire.

There is definitely merit, but no one has interacted with him in the past ten years, not for anything else, just because of the things this guy said, this is fucking damning, His Majesty the Emperor has the same thoughts as ten people

Ten people understand, but this old guy doesn't understand, and he doesn't know what is going on in his mind. What His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of is that there is no gap between him and the other three empires, but what are you doing now?

?You are trying to shorten the gap. It would be weird if you could continue to be an official.

Wang Quantai already showed signs of genius when he was ten years old. At that time, the four brothers were studying in school. Unfortunately, the other three brothers had no talent at all for studying, so they did not skip class today.

Mr. Tomorrow has found his home. For Wang Quantai, after being exposed to books, he felt that this is where he needs to work hard. It can be said that the ancestors of the Wang family have not had a scholar in thousands of years.

Most of them are farmers in the fields, and there are more people who deal with the land, but the current social atmosphere is like this. Since even the teacher said that this boy has the talent to study, this is amazing. Wang Quantai’s father immediately

So the other brothers stopped studying and tried their best to let Wang Quantai start his studying time. The other brothers immediately responded to their father's call. This was simply a life saver for them. For them, let them

Working in that room for a day would kill them. Not to mention how uncomfortable they felt all over their bodies. It was obvious that they didn't work very hard, but now they said that they had let this matter happen. Wang Quantai's three

After Wang Quantai returned home, his younger brother told his children one by one that it was they who gave up the opportunity to study, so that the uncle had the opportunity to study and go to the capital. But now the scene is like this.

Undoubtedly, it means that their eldest brother will not seize the opportunity, which will affect their good life.

Wang Quantai was really capable back then. There were about fifty people in the school at that time, and they went together to take the provincial examination, which was the lowest level examination in the Eastern Empire's imperial examination system. There were about more than 500 students in the entire township, among whom

Ten people can have the title of scholar, and the ratio is very difficult. There is a one-fifty chance that Wang Quantai got it, which made his father extremely happy. This fucking old Wang family

Scholars haven't appeared in many years, but now, such a thing happened in their old Wang family, and everyone was really happy. Several of his brothers also received a lot of criticism from others.

I admire it, because this society is like this. As long as there is a scholar in your family, the status of the entire family can be improved a lot. Wang Quantai still remembers the scene when the mayor came to the door in person.

There are only ten of them, and these ten talents will definitely have better achievements in the future. It is okay to pave the way now. Wang Quantai also received a "donation" for the first time.

This donation can be said to be a special thing in the Eastern Empire. Generally speaking, scholars do not have the ability to work to support themselves. If the family conditions are good, the family will give them money to continue studying, but if

If the family conditions are not very good, a good young person may be delayed. Therefore, in order to encourage the people below to study, the senior officials of the Eastern Empire generally ask some chief executives and wealthy families to spend a certain amount of money every year.

Subsidy to these poor families is called a donation. Of course, the person receiving the money must also remember the name of his benefactor. If he becomes famous in the court in the future, this is all

In return, although this method will help the education of the Eastern Empire a lot, it will also connect these new champions with some powerful people in the imperial court. Anyway, no matter what happens, there are pros and cons. In order to make the Eastern Empire

With the emergence of more talents in the empire, the disadvantages of such a connection can be tolerated. The emperor of the Eastern Empire thought so too.

According to the original practice, the mayor's annual salary was only 150 taels of silver. At that time, the price of grain in the Eastern Empire was 18 cents per pound of wheat. The imperial court stipulated that every scholar should have 20 cents of the mayor's salary.

First, the mayor can just advance the money himself, and there will be other ways to make up for it in the coming year. Seven taels and five cents of silver is what Wang Quantai should have received at the beginning, but among these ten talents, there are also

Those with good family backgrounds, according to another unspoken rule, these people do not need the money, and their money will be used. This is also a good rule, at least the money will go to those in need of help.

It won't be wasted. Just think of the few scholars back then. Their families had hundreds of acres of land. The money was really nothing and they were not needed at all, so they didn't want it. The money was divided equally.

In the hands of other scholars, Wang Quantai was given twelve taels of silver.

Generally speaking, rural people usually use copper coins, one pound of rice costs eighteen cents. Their impression of silver is that they have seen it before, but they don’t have that thing at home. One tael of silver is nearly sixty pounds of grain.

, You must know that in their time, the food in the fields was only a few hundred kilograms a year, but it was not as terrible as the food on the earth. Many people did not have enough to eat at home. After a few years of studying,

With more than ten taels of silver, this was considered a sudden fortune for the people back then. Moreover, according to the regulations of the imperial court, there would be a subsidy of one tael of silver every month in the future. This was also the Eastern Empire's policy for those with merit and fame.

It is a kind of compensation for people. It can be said that Wang Quantai no longer needs a family to support him at this time. He can already support himself. However, Wang Quantai naturally knows the situation of his family. He has twelve taels of silver for himself.

Not even a penny was kept, all was given to my father, and then the Wang Family Courtyard was built. It had several large tile-roofed houses at the beginning, which made the surrounding villagers envious for a long time.

In educating children, they all have to learn from Wang Quantai. What is the use of working on crops for a lifetime? Look at others. After studying for a few years, it has brought such good benefits to the family.

In addition to the one tael of silver given by the court every month from now on, the mayor will also give one tael of silver. Some wealthy locals around him also want to establish relationships with future officials. This one will give him one hundred catties of grain this month.

, I will give you a set of four treasures of the study and so on. It can be said that the old Wang family is very popular in this town. This was all brought by Wang Quantai back then. But this is just the initial stage, they can't

We know that the greatest achievements of scholars come later.

Three years later, the county examination began. This can be said to be the most important part of the Eastern Empire's imperial examination system. Scholars from the entire county will gather together. This is when they truly enter the political stage.

It's been a while. Even the county magistrate often has to give face. The entire county has a population of one million and thousands of talented people. This is much more powerful than the college entrance examination on earth. After all, the college entrance examination on earth

Most of them are fresh graduates. There are many old scholars here who are over sixty years old. In addition, the life span of people on this planet is much longer than that of people on earth. So there are a lot of students.

Many old scholars are even more talented than some senior officials, but they are just unlucky. Besides, there have been a lot of frauds in the past few years, this and that.

Added together, the difficulty increases a lot.

At that time, Wang Quantai was very high-spirited and was only nineteen years old. But he was the youngest scholar in the entire county. At that time, many people were not optimistic about this young man. Generally speaking, among thousands of scholars, three could be elected.

It was very good, but in that year there were only four, because the examiner came from the provincial academic administration. It turned out that the articles of the three old scholars in the county were already very good, but he was not satisfied with Wang Quantai's.

I am also very satisfied with the article. Especially the handwriting is very good. There is no one better than him in the entire county. Since all the academic and political leaders in the province have spoken, their county officials

Naturally, these officials did not have the guts to stop them. In this way, Wang Quantai became the youngest person to be elected in the history of their county. This was a big deal. There were only three people in three years.

So since the beginning of history, there has been only one period of ten thousand years per year. How many fucking years can there be? There are only a dozen or so alive in total, and most of the people have already died.

They have gone to other places. There are only two people in the county who have the title of civil servant. But now that there are a few more of them, it is pretty good, especially Wang Quantai, this powerful guy, a young boy, only nineteen years old.

Master Juren, let alone the history of their county, is considered very powerful even in the province.

This is not just a matter of smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. This incident was a bit of a noisy matter. Now Wang Quantai still remembers that his father was very happy at the time, especially when the court's hundred taels of silver were delivered to his home.

Covered with yellow cloth, there are two big words on it, "Imperial Gift". This is an honor that has never been given by the emperor. There are tens of thousands of people around here. What is it for? Just to see

What do the things the emperor gave me look like? A pair of new clothes may not be much better than those worn by the rich men in the county, and a pair of court boots may not be so beautiful. Although one hundred taels of silver is a lot, but this rich family

I have seen a lot of them, but why do so many people come? For no other reason than for one reason, that is, all these things are shipped from the capital, and these are given by the emperor.

, it’s amazing.

Where is the capital? Except for the county magistrate who has been to the capital when he became the county magistrate, it is estimated that more than 99% of the people in the county have never been to the capital. They have also thought about it. It is really this distance

It's too far. If you're a senior warrior or something, you can still get there, but what about an ordinary person? It will take a year or two to go, and that's at the speed of a fast horse. If you're older, you might be able to get there directly on the way.

What's that? These things just have a name on them. They are basically sent from the province. A juren is considered a rarity here. For the entire empire, it is nothing. The empire

There are too many people to be elected every year, and they are all prepared by the emperor? Then the emperor does not have to do other things.

Mr. Wang was so happy that day that he didn’t know what to say. One hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money. For the villagers back then, these things were their lifeblood. Of course, the honor of the Master of Juren was also very great.

What's amazing is that the mayor who supported Wang Quantai back then has to start saluting when he sees Wang Quantai. Everyone has to kneel down when they see the county magistrate, but Wang Quantai doesn't have to do it. According to the laws of the Eastern Empire, Wang Quantai now

It is no longer necessary to kneel down. In some official offices below the county seat, he does not have to kneel down. Even in the provincial capital, he still has his own status.

From this point on, it can be said that Wang Quantai is already a member of the imperial court, and can have the right to file petitions on some local matters. Of course, he must obtain some certificates from the local chief executive, and this must be done at all levels.

You can only go to the capital after the review has started. Generally speaking, these are impossible to achieve, but in any case, people have this right. They are no longer ordinary people, they can be regarded as half officials. In terms of salary, eight per year

Ten taels of silver. Wang Quantai's three younger brothers worked half to death in a year. In the end, they couldn't save ten taels of silver. This guy did nothing. The court gave eighty taels of silver a year, including other festival expenses and so on.

There are a hundred and ten taels of silver every year, plus some local officials and gentry to give some guidance to the nephews of wealthy families. This is another sum of money for writing. After he was qualified to be a candidate, Wang Quantai spent every year

If the income is definitely more than 400 taels of silver, if other people encounter something that cannot be solved and need to communicate with the government. Wang Quantai said, it is very useful. Even the county magistrate is very considerate. This guy is only nineteen years old.

It's just that I only got the position I have now when I was forty years old. If this kid gets the Jinshi in the provincial examination three years later, it will be a big deal. This will at least be on the same level as myself.

In fact, this is not the best thing. If a big family takes a fancy to it and recruits it as a staff member or something. This would be even more extraordinary. Although it seems that there is no rank or anything, but the words may be better than

The quality ones are much better.

There is actually such a person in their county. He also obtained the qualification of Jinshi a hundred years ago, but he did not continue to advance. Instead, he became the companion of a powerful kid. It is said that the powerful kid has now reached the position of governor.

Now, becoming the governor's assistant is much better than being a county magistrate. How many county magistrates would have to fawn over it? Generally speaking, if the governor is about to be pushed out,

Naturally, he wants to arrange it for the people around him, in order to leave a good reputation for himself, and his son can also use it in the future. This is definitely not something that a county magistrate can do.

Yeah, you can't find anything like this. This kid's future is boundless.

It can be said that Wang Quantai was very proud back then. His family also saw that it was time for him to get married. When Wang Quantai was a child, his grandfather arranged a marriage for him. The other party was the granddaughter of a hunter who hunted with his grandfather.

Now it's time to get married. The other party has never come to urge this matter, but the girls in their family don't dare to make an appointment with others. They all know that the Wang family now is different from the past. If this comes to their door,

If you marry someone else's master, they will definitely say that you are flattering. Even if this girl gets married, she may not have a good life, but she doesn't dare to marry herself. If she just finds someone to marry, then

If Wang Quantai still remembers what happened back then, it's their fault. If they go to the Yamen to sue their family, this is something they can't afford. Seeing that their daughter is getting older and older, this

The family members are also anxious, but what's the use of being anxious? They can only wait for Wang Quantai to have a daughter-in-law, and this matter will be arranged in their family. This daughter's life may be delayed, but there is nothing else.

There's a solution.

The Wang family also has different views on this matter. Although there are not many people proposing marriage to Wang Quantai now, there are only a few, but all of them are heavyweights and they are already some good families in the province.

Of course, they are not from the government, they are just wealthy businessmen, which is not bad. Wang Quantai knows what these businessmen are thinking. Although the businessmen live a good life, their family's social status is not very high.

Yes, if they have a son-in-law like Wang Quantai, it will be very good for their family. Of course, this is also because their son is of no use. If their son is very useful, naturally there will be no need for a son-in-law.

You're blocking the way for yourself.

Wang Quantai's father was hesitant. He didn't know what to say. It was said that his son was so present that he should be looking for a good wife, but his father was also very filial. When Wang Quantai was born, the marriage was

It has been settled. If we don’t do this, wouldn’t it be disobedient? Can Wang Quantai’s grandfather be safe there? It should be impossible, but I don’t understand this political matter. The county magistrate is

I told myself that this matter should be considered carefully. If I go the right way, it may be a different situation for Wang Quantai, and he will definitely live a good life.

Wang Quantai's younger brothers naturally don't remember the poor sister-in-law back then. In their opinion, these three families are all good, and they all come from families with hundreds of thousands of silver. If their brother can marry someone there,

Sister-in-law, they can all go to work in the city. Although everyone is doing well now, if there is better development, no one will refuse it, right?

But Wang Quantai's choice was different from theirs. This guy bought thirty acres of land with two hundred taels of silver, and then he asked his father and his aunt to act as matchmakers. These three people brought some

The people left immediately. This incident made their people dumbfounded. Even Wang Quantai's wife and her family were dumbfounded. If farmers like them get a wife, they can do it very well with only twenty taels of silver at most.
