Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu turned to look at Wang Chengwei, but saw no reaction on the other person's face.
The two of them couldn't help but admire in their hearts, Brother Wang's appearance remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. He was indeed a true Confucian scholar!
It's just that they didn't know that after Wang Chengwei knew the news that he won the top prize in advance, he had already had a party and had just entered the time of the sage.
After the list is completed, the next step is to send the admission notice for this era.
For the Qingshui Yamen of Shangshu Province, Kaihuangbang is one of the few lucrative jobs.
The junior officials in the Shangshu Province were assigned different "admission notices" according to their respective qualifications.
Ordinary petty officials can only get notices from Mingshu Mingfa. These scholars are generally poor and don't receive much reward.
It's different for those in Ming Jing Ke. Most of the middle-class scholars give generous rewards. This reward can be equal to the salary of these petty officials for a year.
The most valuable thing is the "Notice" from the Jinshi Division. These middle-ranking scholars in the Jinshi Division are basically not poor, and the rewards are extremely generous. If you meet a child from a noble family, the reward can be worth up to
With their salaries in the past few years, only very senior officials in the Shangshu Province are qualified to send such notices.

The admission notice of the Tang Dynasty is a "gold post". This post is written on carmine red paper with fine clay ink mixed with gold powder.
The post recorded the terms of the imperial examination, the candidates' place of origin, name and appearance, and was stamped with the seal of the Shangshu Province.
Admission notices for Jinshi subjects are also divided into high and low grades. Naturally, the higher the ranking, the more valuable it is.
On the day when the results are released, all candidates will gather in the square in front of the Imperial College.
These experienced clerks only need to take the notice, beat the gong and call out the candidate's name, and someone will naturally guide them to the owner of the admission notice.
I heard the sound of gongs in the square below. The ministers and provincial officials in soap-colored clothes were happily looking for the owner of the admission notice in their hands.
It's just that this kind of joy is only for a few people after all. This imperial examination has already admitted a large number of people, but the Jinshi and Mingjing subjects, which are really valuable, only admitted 90 people.
Compared with the huge number of candidates, the admission rate is still too low.
However, the candidates in the Tang Dynasty were already much happier than the candidates in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. Compared with the imperial examinations in later generations, which were regarded as a hell model for scholars, the admission rate in the Tang Dynasty was already the highest in history.
At this time, the sound of gongs had already sounded downstairs in Mingyue. I saw these officials beating the gongs and going upstairs. First, they sent notices to the candidates who had been admitted to the three subjects of Mingfa, Mingshu and Mingzi.
I happily accepted the notice. Although these three subjects were not very valuable, they could still fill some small positions. Even if they were run properly, they could even get some humble and powerful positions such as county captains.
This is already a pretty good result for those players who are not good at taking exams or who do not have the ability to use momentum.
It's the same as being an official. Being an official in Longyou only gets a salary, but it's different in the imperial court.
All players who participated in the imperial examination received tasks issued by Li Yan.
Being an official in the Tang Dynasty can receive the same level of experience and salary as being an official in Longyou at the same time, that is to say, two salaries for one job.
Double the experience!
In Datang Fengyun, a game without krypton gold gift packs, double experience is so valuable!
What's more, the official ranks in Longyou are not high. Even if you are from Mingfa, if you can get a county lieutenant in Shangxian County, that will be the end of many old players becoming officials in Longyou.
Experience is secondary, and more important is future development.
The vast Central Plains region is a brand new map.
Compared to Longyou, which has a high player density, if you can develop a new map in the Central Plains, you can become a boss in the game.
Aren’t the elders who are now in charge of the Longyou side relying on the advantages they accumulated by developing new maps in the early stages of the game?
After the notices for the third subject were delivered, the gongs in Mingyue Tower became louder.
This was a notice from Mingjingke. The six admitted players accepted the notice excitedly, then took out a bag of colorful "gems" and casually tipped them to these little officials.
This shocked Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang. Are all the scholars in Longyou so rich?
But Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang didn't know that these gems were also worthless things.
The culprits of all this are the players from the Chemistry Department in Longyou.
After successfully producing glass balls in batches, these guys set their sights on the field of artificial crystals.
The manufacture of this artificial crystal is not complicated. It only requires a high-temperature furnace. These players' workshops are like money printing machines, quickly producing crystals of various colors.
Jiang Lun of the Salt and Iron Bureau knew the disadvantages of these gems. Jiang Lun immediately wrote to King Jianning, strictly prohibiting the use of these gems for trading in Longyou.
While the Salt and Iron Bureau prohibited the sale of these artificial crystals on the market, the Salt and Iron Bureau ordered a large number of artificial crystals to trade with merchants from the Western Regions, Uighurs and Central Plains.
However, this fluctuation in the value of gems has not yet reached Chang'an, and players' crystals are still expensive gems.
These rewards given to the minor officials were all crystal fragments. However, after these minor officials received these artificial crystals, they still accepted them excitedly and said auspicious words of good luck to the successful players.
At this time, the official who delivered the Jinshi notification boarded the Mingyue Tower.
"Jinshi passed, twenty-seventh place! Is Young Master Long Yousun upstairs?"
"Sun is here!"
After a while, an old official climbed up the stairs, raised the notice to a player, and said with a happy face:
"Congratulations to Mr. Sun on your success as a Jinshi. I wish Mr. Sun a prosperous future!"
"Okay! Reward!"
The fat player immediately rewarded him with a bag of gems.
Immediately afterwards, another person came to announce the good news, and Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang were secretly shocked.
At this time, they went upstairs to announce the good news. There were already three Longyou scholars who had won the Jinshi exam.
You must know that there are only thirty Jinshi people in total!
It has been many years since anyone from Longyou passed the Jinshi examination in previous years.
For example, on the state roads in the border area of Longyou, it only takes a few years for one person to succeed.
This does not include Wang Chengwei, the top undergraduate student!
"Jinshi passed, third place! Mr. Wei from Gyeonggi Province, is he upstairs?"
A player who won the Ming Jing Ke immediately shouted: "Master Wei is upstairs!"
I only saw this old official running up the stairs, kneeling down to Wei Yingwu and saying, "Congratulations to Mr. Wei for being a high-ranking scholar!"
This time the Jinshi Department was unusual. The emperor wanted to meet these new Jinshis one by one after returning to Luan Chang'an and award them with official positions on the spot.
The emperor must first meet with the top scholar, and then in the order of the top scholar.
If you get a higher rank in the exam, you can theoretically get a better official position.
These old officials are all smart people, so they naturally know the value of this imperial examination.
Generally speaking, new scholars have the following options.
The best place to go is the Yushitai. You can serve as a censor from the seventh-grade palace or as a supervisory censor from the eighth-grade. These are official positions that can be conferred by a new Jinshi.
The censor is a public official and the most noble position. He has the power to inspect officials and hear what they say.
In other words, the censor can impeach officials based on public opinion without evidence.
In addition, the censor often appointed some temporary errands, which are the "imperial envoys" commonly seen in novels.
For example, rectifying the salt tax, inspecting border customs, and investigating large eucalyptus in certain places. As long as the censor can handle the errands well, the censor can be promoted as fast as a rocket when he returns to Beijing.
The second is the county magistrate from the seventh rank. This is also the Bailihou who is in charge of the party, and it is also the easiest to achieve political achievements.
Thirdly, those who are a little bit can be the county magistrate, that is, the deputy of the county magistrate, or some low-level civil servants in the six departments.
This Wei Yingwu was the third in the Jinshi department, and his future success was just around the corner. Naturally, these old officials respected him very much.
Wei Yingwu also knew the rules. Although the Weishi Xiaoyao Gongfang in Gyeonggi Province was a side branch, it still had family wealth. He immediately took out a bag of gold and silver and rewarded it to the old official who announced the good news.
The old official kowtowed again and said some auspicious words for a prosperous official career.
Immediately afterwards, another old official went upstairs with a gong.
"Jinshi passed, second place! Mr. Gu from Suzhou, is he upstairs?"
This old official, like the previous one, knelt on the ground and handed over the notice. Gu Kuang touched his pocket and took out a shriveled money bag.
Gu Kuang was not as good as Wei Yingwu. He came from a poor family and became a disciple of Li Mi.
Li Mi was also an honest man, so naturally he had no money to support him.
The old official looked a little ugly. At this moment, Wang Chengwei came over, took out a wallet from his pocket, and put it into the old official's hand.
The old official opened it and saw that it was filled with gems and jewels, and he couldn't take his eyes away.
He quickly said congratulatory words, but Gu Kuang said: "Brother Wang! No!"
Wang Chengwei pulled Gu Kuang and said: "Today is a good day for us to pass the exam. If you are stingy and you will inevitably be criticized by these people, just treat it as if I lent it to you, and you can pay it back in the future."
Gu Kuang thought for a while and could only accept it. After all, it is an old rule to reward Jinshi candidates, and it also represents the dignity of fellow students.
Wang Chengwei is the number one scholar, so it is normal to maintain the dignity of being an undergraduate.
At this time, the last old official came up the stairs and said:
"Jinshi passed, Zhuangyuan Gong! Prince Longyou, may I be upstairs?"
"Wang is here!"
The old official quickly went upstairs and raised the notice high above his head.
Now everyone looked at Wang Chengwei.
Wang Chengwei took out another bag of gems and rewarded the old official who announced the good news.
The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower also rushed to announce the good news, and the whole Mingyue Tower was very lively!
Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu looked at each other. This time, among the seventeen sons of Longyou, four were high school Jinshi, six passed the Ming Jing exam, and four passed the Ming Fa Ming Su Ming Zi exam.
Fourteen of the seventeen people were successful, what a terrifying success rate!
How could Longyou's culture and education reach such a high level?
Both of them thought of the unfathomable King Jianning.
