June was gradually getting hotter, but Sheng Yuan, who was afraid of the heat, was extremely happy. The day for Gein to report to the Hanlin Academy was just around the corner.
She looked forward to this not because Guan'er was addicted to Guan'er, but rather than having her grandfather and father take her everywhere to show off, she was more willing to shine at her workplace.
Sheng Yuan really couldn't understand that reporting to his ancestors once was enough, but his father and grandfather had to do it three times.
The first round represents the Sheng Guogong Mansion, the second round represents the Yongxing Hou Mansion, and the third round represents the entire Sheng family.
She didn't know if her ancestors were annoying them, she just knew that she was about to be confused!
Fortunately, the day to report to work is approaching.
As Sanding A, Sheng Yuan and No. 2 Tanhua, the registration location is Hanlin Academy.
The second, third and third grade Jinshi should continue to prepare for the imperial examination and strive to become a Shujishi so that they can continue their studies in the Hanlin Academy.
Of course, the number of Shujishi places is limited. It would be great if one-sixth of the more than 300 people can be admitted.
As for the remaining second-, third-, and third-level Jinshi who did not apply or were not admitted, they are waiting for the final allocation.
Distribution principles are also particular. For example, if a second-class Jinshi stays in Beijing, he or she will usually serve as a director in various departments; if they are sent out to Beijing, they will usually serve as magistrates in the place where they are assigned; and if a third-class Jinshi stays in Beijing, they will usually serve as doctors, If the positions such as pedestrians are assigned to other places, they will be appointed to the positions of promotion officials and county magistrates.
Among these positions, the highest magistrate is from the fifth rank, and the lowest Xingren is also from the seventh rank. It sounds like they are not much worse than Sandingjia and Shujishi, but in fact the difference is still very big.
To put it simply, the upper limit is different.
From Yan to Chen, from Chen to Chu, although the dynasties have changed several times, what remains unchanged is the invisible rule that "non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet."
Therefore, civil servants in the Hanlin Academy are often called prime ministers.
But having said that, how many people can be in the imperial cabinet? Even if the cabinet ministers change frequently, how many common people can be admitted?
Not to mention that there are only two or three Jinshi every three years.
Therefore, most of these Jinshi, who are extremely poor every time, still have to be assigned to work in various places in Dachu.
Of course, it was impossible for the imperial court to just release the Jinshis who had no work experience. The result of going to work directly with dark eyes was either to become local puppets or to make a mess.
Therefore, internship before formal work is indispensable.
As for official internship, in Dachu, it is the system of observing government inherited from the Yan and Chen dynasties.
"The time for observing the government is uncertain, and it will take at least half a year to start." Anyu and Lu Sheng, who did not plan to participate in the selection of Shujishi, exchanged with Shengyuan the topic of entering the officialdom for the first time, "However, although observing the government is not a formal appointment, the imperial court will Given to Lumi based on birth."
Although it was clear that both Anyu and Lu Sheng were not short of money, Shengyuan still asked curiously: "How much will we give?!"
"For example, if we are both second-grade Jinshi, we will be given a salary based on the standard of the seventh grade; while for a third-grade Jinshi, we will be given a salary based on the eighth grade."
"That's it!" Although Sheng Yuan doesn't know the specific monthly salary of these two levels, she knows her own salary. "I am a Hanlin Academy editor from the sixth grade, and my monthly salary is eight stones."
"Ah... how much is eight stones?" Anyu has always received money, and no one has ever given him pocket money based on stones.
"I remember one stone is worth seven coins." But Lu Sheng knew better.
He thought that the monthly salary was too small and difficult to calculate, so he simply calculated the annual salary: "Sister Yuan's monthly salary is eight dan, and the annual salary is ninety-six dan. Calculated based on one stone and seven taels of silver, then the yearly calculation is 672 dan. money.
Here we have sixteen coins equal to one tael, so six hundred and seventy-two coins is... forty-two taels? ! "
After thinking about it, he and Anyu turned their heads and looked at Sheng Yuan with sympathy on their faces: "Sister Yuan, you have been busy for a year and the money you got is not enough for us to have a big meal in the restaurant!"
Sheng Yuan: "..."
Even though she had done the math before, Sheng Yuan still felt speechless after hearing the sympathetic words from Anyu and Lu Sheng.
Sure enough, the first feeling when entering society is that making money is not easy.
"Isn't it true that from the sixth grade onwards there is still money for raising integrity? The lowest is five hundred taels, and the highest can be as much as twenty thousand taels!"
The three of them sighed at each other for a while. Anyu scratched his head and comforted Sheng Yuan and said: "We work hard, we don't have to go too high. As long as we are both at the sixth level, we can make one thousand two thousand three hundred taels in a year." .”
"Yanglianyin is for local officials. If you stay in Beijing, you can get firewood and firewood, but it's just an extra annual salary." Lu Sheng rolled his eyes and directly exposed Anyu's dream.
"Oh, sure enough, if you want to live a good life, it's not enough to keep your salary." Anyu calculated that the combined income of he and Sheng Yuan might not be 200 taels a year, so he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder How many seniors have part-time jobs!”
Anyu is quite down-to-earth, but Sheng Yuan thinks more: "I just went to report, and I heard that some people in the same year were planning to go to local areas to practice after leaving the academy, probably because of the higher external salary. "
Not everyone has the ambition to join the cabinet. No matter how ambitious you are, you must recognize the reality.
It would be great if you can enter the Hanlin Academy. If you can't even pass the imperial examination, why stay in Kyoto and live a hard life!
It has been difficult to live in Kyoto in all dynasties. Instead of living in Kyoto, it is better to leave the capital and save some money.
"Have you two decided which department to choose to watch the government?" Sheng Yuan sighed at the poor salary, and asked Anyu and Lu Sheng curiously.
"The imperial court has asked me to choose from among the six ministries and divisions, and I can do it. However, Brother Sheng wants to join the Ministry of War. I am considering whether to join him."
"I remember that the imperial court arranged for you to be assigned by the Ministry of Personnel to observe government affairs. The Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Inspectorate are in groups of two, and the General Affairs Department and Dali Temple are in groups of one person." Sheng Yuan has not officially started work, but has already learned a lot of useful information. .
"So, even if I want to apply to the Ministry of War, I may not be with Brother Sheng? Then I'd better go to Dali Temple!"
"..." Although Lu Sheng had no intention of dragging his friend with him, he was quite speechless when he heard him change his mind so happily.
"I've heard that in some departments, you can learn a lot by observing politics, but in others it's not easy. A colleague at home who observes politics in the Ministry of War once said that there are only bows and bows, and drawings of Mao in the hall." Sheng Yuan simply talked to Lu Sheng spoke.
Lu Sheng understood clearly that Shengyuan was reminding him that instead of choosing there, it would be better to choose other places, where it would be easier to learn useful things and make friends.
"Then I'll go to the household department!" Lu Sheng ignored Anyu's expectant gaze and chose the household department without hesitation.
Let’s talk about arrangements separately, just in case it works!
It is said that soldiers and horses go before food and grass are used. In the future, when he joins the army, he will inevitably have to deal with the Ministry of War and Household Affairs. It is not a bad idea to get familiar with him now.
