The next day, Nan Yi accompanied Song Zhong to the county education prison.
Mr. Shuyuan has the rank of academic officer and is also an official. Although he usually teaches in the academy and does not work in the county government, every January, other academies will select a teacher to be on duty as an education supervisor, waiting for students from each county to report, and do the selection and distribution work.
This is because it is not convenient to travel across counties in this world. Ordinary people cannot leave when they want. They can only wait for enough people who need to travel to form a convoy before setting off.
If the county town is particularly far away from the county town, it will take many days to travel to the county town.
In order to facilitate students in these remote counties, there is no specific time for registration at the college, and you can register throughout January.
Then, unlike a small county where the county government office is just a small courtyard with a few buildings, the Chu County government office is located in the center of the county city and covers a large area. Almost every power department is a separate attic.
Nan Yi accompanied Song Zhong to the attic of the prison.
Song Zhong entered, reported his identity, and was led to the second floor where he was interviewed by eight academy gentlemen.
Nan Yi was waiting outside and took a look around the county courtyard.
He has not yet entered the Taoist practice, and his eyesight is limited. He is currently unable to "reveal" other people's specific information through the building.
But according to the special vision given by "Dongzhen", even if the perception is unclear, you can still see the aura of extraordinary existence.
Nan Yi wanted to use his spiritual light to give feedback and roughly estimate the number of monks in the county.
In Nanshan County, Nan Yi could hardly see any traces of gods and extraordinary monks.
But in the county government, I just feel that he is almost an official, and he has some level of cultivation.
However, as soon as Nan Yi took a few steps, he was stopped by someone.
"Is Lang Jun Nan Yi?"
Nan Yi followed the sound, but it was a short-bearded man with thin cheeks who came out of the attic of the pastoral prison next door and called him.
Under "Dongzhen", his name is Mo Yuange, and he is an outer disciple of the Wangxian Sect.
"Exactly." Nan Yi blinked, "I wonder who you are, sir?"
"I am Mo Yuange, a junior official in the Muling Supervisor." Mo Yuange introduced himself, "I have a nephew named Mo Rufeng. During the annual exam last month, he happened to be assigned to invigilate the exam in Nanshan County. I highly admire your literary articles."
"I was assigned the responsibility of marking, and I just happened to mark your Wenfu exam paper."
"Oh, that's a coincidence." Nan Yi was stunned, but in fact he was still confused, wondering why Mo Yuange stopped him.
Fortunately, Mo Yuange is not a person who likes to beat around the bush.
"Nan Lang, have you already reported to Wuxiang Academy?" Mo Yuange looked at Nan Yi a few times, "Have you officially entered the academy?"
Because the inn was noisy and not a quiet place, Nan Yi had not yet devoted himself to practice and had not entered the Tao, so he had no cultivation skills.
But Mo Yuange had heard about Du Yuanfu rushing out of the prison yesterday and running outside Wuxiang Academy to fight for new students.
When he saw Nan Yi at this time, he made a guess and knew that Nan Yi must have awakened a gifted supernatural power.
Nan Yi nodded.
Mo Yuange thought for a while and said, "It seems that in a few days, I will have to call Nanlang my Taoist friend."
"Master Mo, you are so polite. I don't dare to be called fellow Taoist. I am new to cultivation, so how can I dare to compare with you, Master Mo?"
Mo Yuange smiled, but no longer said any polite words, and said directly: "I called Nanlang today. Firstly, it was fate that we met here; secondly, I wanted to say that one day Nanlang will graduate from school. When seeking an official position, you can consider coming to our Ministry of Civil Affairs to take the merit examination for the establishment of the Department."
From the nine divisions and eighteen divisions of Dali, Wuxiang students can take exams for the establishment of any division, and the Zuowang Academy where Mo Yuange is located corresponds to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Mu Ling Division and Kao Gong Division.
Among them, the Mu Ling Department is a bit like Nan Yi's organization department in his previous life; the Gong Kao Department is similar to the Tianxia Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Hearing Mo Yuange say this, Nan Yi looked puzzled.
Mo Yuange did not speak directly, but suddenly asked: "I don't know Nanlang, have you read the recent issues of "Journal of Nantian University"?"
"I saw it yesterday..." Nan Yi said, her tone slightly darkened.
Although Mo Yuange didn't say it clearly, Nan Yi had already reacted.
When he saw the "Journal of Nantian Xue" yesterday, he realized that the literary supervisor was somewhat dissatisfied with him.
Now seeing that Mo Yuange invited him to join the merit examination department in the future, Nan Yi was sure that he had offended many officials.
Of course, it’s just an article, and saying “offended” is a bit too harsh. But if you cause dissatisfaction, you will definitely not be able to escape.
It's just that there are gains as well as losses, and those who are disliked by everyone are suitable to join the merit examination department and supervise all officials.
"I see, the student understands." Nan Yi thought thoughtfully.
Mo Yuange kept observing Nan Yi.
Seeing that after Nan Yi realized what was going on, his tone remained calm and showed no hint of panic, Mo Yuange couldn't help but secretly praise him.
He was very curious about Nan Yi and asked: "Nan Lang, why did you think of writing this article when you were answering the Wen Fu examination paper?"
Nan Yi thought for a while and said honestly: "There are many reasons, but the main reason lies in the governor's thoughts. When I first saw the test questions, I roughly guessed the governor's thoughts. I definitely didn't want to see articles that only praised people's virtues."
"If you follow what they like, you will have a general idea. Furthermore, the student is a villager and is determined to speak for the villagers, so he wrote this article. I hope the county governor can take precautions after reading it, and when promulgating people's livelihood policies in the future, You can think more about the people."
"Nan Lang is sure to win the favor of the county governor if he has this intention." Mo Yuange's eyes flickered and he sighed, "In my opinion, the Gong Gong Examination Department needs talents like you."
From Mo Yuange's tone, Nan Yi actually heard a hint of regret.
He secretly guessed that maybe Mo Yuange also wanted to join the imperial examination department. But perhaps because of concerns about his own family, Mo Yuange ultimately chose to protect his own safety and chose the position of Pastoral Commander, which was relatively less likely to offend others.
In this regard, Nan Yi couldn't answer anything.
However, Nan Yi actually didn't care much about the displeasure of many officials.
Not to mention that he is still a student now and has to stay at Wuxiang Academy for three years, so he cannot enter the officialdom so early.
Even if he really entered the officialdom, Nan Yi would not be afraid.
In Chu County, the county guard is the most important person.
Nan Yi's earliest plan, when he didn't know the situation in the world of cultivation in this world, was to take the wrong path, cling to the thigh of the county governor, and become famous first.
After all, Nan Yi was also a member of Tian Xia's system in his previous life.
How can he climb up in the officialdom? If he is not saying that he is like a fish in water, at least he will not know anything about it.
But after knowing that the academy is the gate of immortality and the officialdom is the pasture, Nan Yi changed his mind.
In the officialdom of this world, officials govern the herdsmen. It is actually the Huang-level monks who use the luck of the dynasty to accumulate spiritual knowledge.
In other words, practice is the fundamental thing.
According to the "Wuxiang Treasure Book", in addition to accumulating daily homework, the cultivation of qi at the Huang class level can also be done by enclosing a Taoist temple and operating a power to confirm the practice and improve Taoism.
In addition to being an official or a herdsman, other means such as running an industry or becoming famous in the literary world can assist spiritual practice.
In a sense, being an official is actually a way to gain experience for monks who are not good at business.
If you are sure to accumulate fame in other ways, it will no longer matter whether you are an official or not.
It just so happens that Nan Yi, as a time traveler, has a broad vision and a different kind of insight, so he does not necessarily follow the old-fashioned trends.
For him, if he really did evil to all the officials, the worst possible outcome would be:
This official is not appropriate.
