After a set of procedures were completed, the emperor announced that he would give a banquet to the Luming Pavilion, and he went to the harem with Li Fuguo's support.
Li Heng's health is no longer what it used to be. Today, he tested thirty Jinshi candidates and felt dizzy.
The Luming Pavilion is located within the Ming Dynasty Palace City and is only open when a new Jinshi is given a banquet.
Only court ministers at the level of Prime Minister and Minister and nobles at the level of Duke are eligible to enter the palace for a banquet on New Year's Eve.
As for ordinary officials who want to eat in the palace, they can only do this Qionglin Banquet if they are Jinshi.
The Deer Ming Pavilion is taken from the "Young Deer Ming, eating apples in the field, I have guests, playing the harp and the sheng" in the "Book of Songs", which means the presence of talented people from all over the world. It also expresses the emperor's respect for the new scholars.
Pay attention to.
Because it is held in the Deer Ming Pavilion, it is also called the Qiongling Deer Ming Banquet, or simply called the Deer Ming Feast.
The emperor himself would not attend such a banquet. Present in the Luming Pavilion was Pei Mian, the examiner of this Jinshi examination, prime minister and minister of the Ministry of Rites, and other examiners including Yan Zhenqing, plus
The examiners of the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy will also have banquets.
Compared with the previous private banquet, the Qionglin Luming Banquet was a ceremonial banquet. The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette had also been trained on the rules of the banquet yesterday.
Moreover, the masters and elders were present. Although this banquet was to celebrate the newly elected scholars, everyone still did not dare to be too presumptuous. They just followed the etiquette and first thanked the emperor for his kindness under the leadership of Wang Chengwei, and then expressed their gratitude to the masters at the main seat.
Pei Mian drinks wine.
Then he drank wine to the other examiners and graders. After drinking all the wine, Yu Chaoen handed the emperor's order to Wang Chengwei with a bag of gold cakes. This was the money given by the emperor to subsidize him for organizing the wedding banquet.
Everyone once again thanked the emperor for his kindness, and Pei Mian and the examiners finally left.
At this time, the banquet finally relaxed a little, but at this time in the palace, it was not allowed to be too noisy.
At this time, the youngest Jinshi in the Jinshi department stood up and said: "Today's Lu Ming Banquet, first of all, I want to congratulate Duke Zhuangyuan on being awarded the title of Wannian County Prime Minister!"
Everyone raised their glasses one after another. Wannian County is located in Chang'an City and belongs to the rank of imperial officials.
Everyone wants to be a Beijing official, not only because Beijing officials serve as officials in Chang'an City, but also because the promotion system for Beijing officials is different from that of local officials.
The promotion path for local officials is from county to state, and then they have the opportunity to be transferred to Chang'an.
There are people present who have been awarded the title of county magistrate in Zhongxian County. In the county magistrate's appointment, one has to wait until there is a vacancy for a nearby county magistrate, and then go through the qualifications to be promoted to the county magistrate.
After becoming a county magistrate, you have to wait for a vacancy in the state capital before you have the opportunity to continue to be promoted.
If the state capital does not have a chance, it will have to wait until the Jiedushi envoys from various places recommend it and get a position in the Jiedushi vassal town.
If you don't make great achievements at this time, your career as an official in this life will basically be over.
But the promotion system for Beijing officials is completely unnecessary.
A censor can be promoted in the three stages. For example, a censor in the palace can be promoted along the path of censor, censor, and visitor.
The censor can also be transferred to other yamen. If there are vacancies in the six departments and nine temples, they can also come out of Santai and enter these departments.
Even if a Beijing official no longer wants to be a Beijing official, if the imperial censor is sent out, it will still be a good position like chief historian or Sima in the state government.
As long as Beijing officials don't make mistakes or stand in the right team, they can always be promoted step by step, without having to wait for seniority like local officials who are close to the people.
Wang Chengwei was to be a people-friendly official, and the emperor specially selected a people-friendly official who belonged to the Beijing official sequence for him.
This is why the emperor favored him as the county magistrate for ten thousand years.
Next, all the Jinshi congratulated each other one after another. When the round of wine was over, Gu Kuang stood up and said:
"As usual, we have to compile the records of the same year, and this matter will be left to Duke Zhuangyuan."
The same year record is an ancient "classmate record" that records the birthplace, family address and brief introduction of each Jinshi scholar in the same class.
But for those who are ranked Jinshi in the same year, being admitted in the same year is very important.
In ancient times when communication was inconvenient, this was an address book. With the same year record, it would be easier to communicate emotionally in the future.
The Jinshi in the same year list is the most important relationship network for a Jinshi who first enters the officialdom, and the list of Jinshi in the same year does not end with one revision. After that, it will be revised every year and sent to the hands of the same year.
The task of revising the annual records naturally fell on Wang Chengwei's shoulders.
He did his part, and then everyone drank to him again.
At this time, the sound of the bamboo board was heard outside the Luming Pavilion, and it was already time for the song to end and everyone dispersed.
Everyone made an appointment to hold a wedding banquet outside Chang'an City a week later. This lively Jinshi banquet finally came to an end.
In the next few days, the emperor met with the top few in Ming Jing Ke, and they were all awarded official positions. At this point, the Jin Shi Ke Examination for the second year of Zhide finally came to an end.
Next, Wang Chengwei went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs several times to obtain the formalities for his appointment, and received a green official robe and a bronze seal representing the status of the county magistrate.
Because he took office in Chang'an City, and now that the Chang'an County Magistrate is vacant, he can come and take office at any time.
The situation is different for other colleagues. They must complete the formalities for conferring officers within a week, and then set off immediately after eating the wedding banquet.
According to Tang law, if you fail to take office on time, you will be punished. Now that the war is in chaos, the sooner you leave, the safer it will be.
However, Wang Chengwei was not prepared to take office so early. When he became an official in the Tang Dynasty, he only had one day off at the end of every month and no holidays throughout the year.
During this period, Wang Chengwei visited various friends, from Prime Minister Pei Mian to other examiners, as well as officials he knew in Chang'an.
He also gave his future boss, Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan, a gift of Longyou specialties. Cui Guangyuan was also very polite to this subordinate and gave him a gift in return.
Since the expansion pack of "The Wind Rises in Chang'an" was released, many players have flocked to Chang'an.
All the officials and players had errands to do, and they would not be able to get official positions in Chang'an when they arrived in Chang'an. Naturally, they could not leave Longyou casually.
Most of the general players are in Longyou, and some ranger players are busy in Uighur and Tuyuhun.
Among the players who flocked to Chang'an, the largest number were naturally merchant players.
With the influx of these players, many Longyou "specialties" have appeared in Chang'an City.
The most popular among them is the large amount of textiles from Longyou.
During the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, merchants from all over the country gathered in Chang'an. At that time, even women from ordinary families would bring some silk as a dowry when they got married, and middle-class families were becoming increasingly extravagant.
However, after a war, it was completely proved that the so-called middle class in Chang'an City was nothing but water without roots.
The emperor returned to Luan Chang'an, and now the Tang Dynasty had regained control of Guanzhong, as well as the entire southern part of the empire. As long as they set the right direction in this imperial chaos, the ministers who had taken refuge with Li Heng in Lingwu or Fengxiang Mansion began to prosper again.
.
In Guanglu Square and Pingkang Square, where important ministers of the empire gathered, the sound of silk and bamboo began to ring again, and the best things from the empire were sent to Chang'an City.
But those ordinary people did not even have money to repair their own houses, let alone consume luxuries such as silk.
The high-quality and cheap Longyou cloth was welcomed by the people of Chang'an as soon as it entered the east and west markets of Chang'an.
After continuous transportation by players, Longyou's dyes have entered the second stage. They are not limited to extracting dyes from natural substances, but have begun to use simple chemically synthesized dyes.
The colorful Longyou cloth not only satisfied the extravagant character of the people in Chang'an, but was also of high quality and low price, so it quickly gained favor among the people.
In addition to cloth, woolen clothes are also very popular.
It has snowed in Chang'an. The warm sweater does not have the livestock smell of previous leather clothes. It is fluffy and warm.
People who don't have money to buy ready-made clothes can also buy wool and knit their own clothes.
Nowadays, the trend of people knitting hats and scarves has become popular in Chang'an. Even some young ladies from wealthy families will pick up sweater needles and give their lovers a warm and comfortable scarf. It is no more practical than embroidering a sachet!
In addition to these clothes, Longyou's snow-white paper has also become something that scholars in Chang'an rush to buy.
People in the Tang Dynasty had a special pursuit of pure colors. The emperor appointed prime ministers and the hemp paper used to worship the prime minister was made of natural white linen.
The high-end white paper used only for appointing prime ministers is not as comfortable to write on as the Longyou newspaper.
Moreover, in order to enter Chang'an, Longyou Paper Manufacturing Industry developed something called "Pandan Paper".
Before finalizing the paper, spices were added to the paper pulp. This paper has a fragrance like orchid and musk. It was welcomed by dignitaries as soon as it entered Chang'an and was quickly sold out.
In addition, clocks and kerosene lamps that were popular in Fengxiang Mansion also appeared in the market of Chang'an.
But none of the above are the best-selling goods in Chang'an. Nowadays, Longyou's matches are really entering the homes of every Chang'an citizen.
Ever since the player's exploration team discovered a phosphate mine near Jiuquan, Jiuquan's Chemical Industry Association saw business opportunities and quickly planned to move a set of match production processes into the "game".
This kind of thing that only needs friction to make a fire is much easier to use than flint.
Moreover, the flame is an open flame, and there is no need to use tinder to ignite it. Even slightly dry and wet firewood can be ignited.
Matches were light and easy to carry, so they were brought into Chang'an by Guo Ping.
At first it was just a bonus product that I couldn't find change for, but as winter came and it became more difficult to make a fire, matches, a convenient fire-making tool, immediately became popular.
The price of matches is not high, and making fire is a daily need for every household. It eventually became the largest-selling product in Longyou. This chapter has been completed!
