"Jinshi, how many Jinshi are there in the Song Dynasty?" Jingdong put down the teacup and looked at Jingtian coldly.
When Jingtian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After thinking for a while, she replied: "There seem to be three to four hundred people."
"Three to four hundred people," Jingdong glanced at the two sons next to him and sighed inwardly, "Madam, what are the chances of the first man and the second man?"
"Official, our son is so good, he will definitely pass the exam." Jingtian raised his head stubbornly, full of confidence.
Jingdong shook his head and asked Jingtian: "When did those two bad boys pass the exam? Twenty, thirty, forty."
"Guanren, if you pass the exam at the age of twenty-five, I believe your two sons can do it too." Although she spoke loudly, her confidence was obviously insufficient.
Jingdong smiled bitterly: "Madam, according to your opinion, the son of a Jinshi will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi exam, and the son of the prime minister will definitely be able to become the prime minister. "
"Here," Mrs. Jingtian's face suddenly turned red and she smiled awkwardly. The two sons noticed that their mother looked ugly, "We have two sons. It won't be a problem for one of us to pass the exam."

When the two sons heard this, they lowered their heads sadly.
My father was able to pass the Jinshi examination and become an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Only one of the two of them can pass the exam, and they may not be able to enter the civil service department.
Thinking of this, the two handsome faces of the two people were livid for a while, red for a while, and pale for a while. It was extremely wonderful.
"It doesn't matter if I am admitted to the Jinshi. I have been an official for more than ten years, but I still don't have a house." Seeing the expressions of his two sons, Jingdong shook his head and sighed heavily.
"What should we do?" At this time, Mr. Jingtian was in a panic. He had lost his original confidence and looked confused.
Jingdong's eyes sparkled with envy: "Madam, do you know that the salary of a teacher in Zhaojiazhuang Town is higher than that of the county magistrate, up to three copper coins, and he also has a residence."
"What, Zhao Yu, a teacher in Zhaojiazhuang, is treated so well?" Jingtian couldn't sit still anymore, he sighed and stood up from his seat.
His two sons were stunned, turned to stone, and couldn't believe their ears.
Although Jing Sanniang was not very sensible, she still felt like she was struck by thunder.
After all, in her eyes, the magistrate was superior to Jiaoyu, and there were also magistrates in the capital.
Seeing his family's reaction, Jingdong nodded with satisfaction: "Not only that, but something even stranger is yet to come."
"Officer, is there anything else you're curious about?" Jingtian was aroused and couldn't help but ask.
A strange expression appeared on Jingdong's face: "Madam, in Zhaojiazhuang Town, even petty officials are employed, and they also eat royal food, and their salaries are not bad."
Mr. Jingtian had already sat down, but now he stood up again.
"Officials, Lords and Masters of Heaven and Earth, have proof that their salaries are higher than those of county magistrates, but what is the basis for this small official's salary?" Mr. Jingtian was stunned, with his mouth open, and could not speak for a long time. After a while, Then he shook his head and said, "Is this true? I don't believe it."
The two sons' eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and they looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
"I don't believe it either." Jingdong smiled bitterly, "Later, I personally asked a small official, and he said that he also had his salary of copper coins renewed in January, and if he did well, he could even reach the third level. As for the reason, Zhao Ping said that the purpose is to reduce corruption. If the petty officials themselves do not have a salary, there is only one path to corruption."
"But since ancient times, small officials have not had salaries. If you do this in a vacuum, aren't you afraid of offending local officials all over the world?" Unexpectedly, the Jingtian family was not only not happy, but also worried.
The Jingtian family is not Xiaojiabiyu, but a lady from an official family, so she is very knowledgeable.
Jingdong continued to smile bitterly, but shook his head: "Not only that, Zhaojiazhuang Town also requires those under the age of fifteen to study compulsorily, and provides free lunch at noon."
"Free reading and lunch provided at noon." Jingtian almost screamed and hurriedly covered his mouth, "I heard that many places in the Song Dynasty only have two meals a day, but Zhaojiazhuang actually provides free lunch. Why does Zhaojiazhuang do this?"
"Zhaojiazhuang is doing this. Some people say that Zhaojiazhuang is doing it to wash away the smell of copper. Some people say that Zhaojiazhuang is doing it to gain a false reputation for benevolence and righteousness. Some people say that Zhaojiazhuang is doing it for the sake of a unified world. Didn't Confucius say we want great unity?" Jingdong put his hands behind his back from his seat. He stood up and walked around the desk a few times, murmuring as he walked.
After hearing Jingdong's words, the two sons fell into thinking.
Both of them were scholars and were no strangers to Confucius’ world of great harmony.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and everyone does have their own ideas." Jingtian rolled his eyes a few times and suddenly asked, "Official, apart from Zhaojiazhuang Town, how does Zhaojiazhuang Academy conduct its school? I don't know how Jintang County, Yanting Town, and Xi County , Is Lingquan doing this?"
The public houses of officials in the capital are also residences, and their residences are also public houses.
Almost every official in the capital had a copy of the Song Dynasty Zhonghua Newspaper, so the Jingtian family naturally knew a lot about Zhaojiazhuang.
"As far as I know, all Zhaojiazhuang schools in these places treat everyone equally." Jingdong thought for a while and finally concluded.
"Official, it seems that the Nu family believes that although Zhaojiazhuang has a plan to wash away the stinky reputation, it is more for the harmonious world." Jingtian thought for a while and expressed his opinion.
Jingdong did not comment, but turned to look at his two sons: "Dalang Erlang, what do you two think?"
His two sons are also literati, and he wanted to test them on the spot.
"Tell father, Dalang thinks that the young saint is pursuing the world of great unity." Jing Dalang bowed and was the first to answer.
Jingdong did not comment, but looked at Erlang: "Erlang, what do you think?"
"Tell my father, the child thinks this is the world of great unity mentioned by Confucius." Keijiro replied with great excitement.
Jingdong's face remained calm: "What's the reason?"
"Tell my father, if Zhaojiazhuang is trying to achieve a false reputation, it can only be done in Zhaojiazhuang Town, but the same is true for Xi County, Jintang, Lingquan, etc. related to Zhaojiazhuang. , It shows that Zhaojiazhuang is doing practical things." Jing Dalang said the reason he had already thought about.
Jingjiro's face was filled with admiration: "I tell my father, the little saint did this, he has the strength. If there is no famous person, he can make a name for himself, but the little saint is already famous, and there is no need to use these to increase the fame. "
"Officer, what do you think?" Jingtian asked impatiently when he saw that Jingdong didn't express his position.
Jingdong looked at the two of them happily: "I believe that Zhao Ping has surpassed the level of pursuing fame and fame. He may now pursue the world of great harmony."
"Official, why do you have these thoughts?" Mr. Jingtian had different views from his two sons, and they saw it more profoundly.
Jingdong smiled faintly and couldn't help but admire: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that Zhaojiazhuang was in vain. Later, I went to Jintang County to have a look. Jintang County used to be a ruin, but now it is a paradise on earth, with small bridges and flowing water everywhere. People are laughing and laughing everywhere, and the population has increased from one thousand to almost one hundred thousand now."
"Official, Jintang County has changed so much, how does it compare to the capital city?" Jingtian's eyes were filled with brilliance and he couldn't help but ask.
Jingdong thought for a while and said with some excitement: "If the capital city is the most beautiful lady, then Jintang County is the refreshing Xiaojiabiyu."
"Jintang County is a county after all, and it has received such high praise from the officials." Jingtian was stunned, with his mouth open, and was speechless for a long time. It took a long time before he said this.
Jingdong nodded, then asked with a smile: "Madam, do you think it is better for Da Lang and Er Lang to study in the capital, or in Zhaojiazhuang?"
