On March 24th, the palace examination was held. Xu Ping stood on both sides and heard that Li Wei was ranked first and twenty-eighth, and he let out a sigh.

This was the first imperial examination after Emperor Zhao Zhen took office, and he attached great importance to it. He had high expectations for these new Jinshis, and his qualifications to be awarded the title of officials reached a peak, higher than that of the Tiansheng Jinshi and the subsequent Jinshis.

This year's Jinshi is the same as in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and is divided into five levels, which is slightly different from Xu Ping's sixth level.

The top scholar Zhang Tangqing, the second-ranked Yang Cha, and the third-ranked Xu Shou were both generals and the chief judge of Dazhou.

Four or five Miao Zhen and He Zhongli were awarded the title of Dali judge and the Jiedushi.

The sixth and sixth in the first grade were all awarded the title of the Secretariat Proofreader, the county magistrate. Li Wei happened to be at this level and became a civilian official as soon as he became an official. Moreover, his official was a Beijing official. Although he was the lowest-level Beijing official, it was a very good starting point.

The second class after that was the second class, the second class was the second class, the third class was the junior level, and the fourth class was the examination title, and the judges of the Si Chuwei were all selected.

Compared with Xu Ping's fifth year of Tiansheng, there were four or five more military governors, but the first-class Jinshi later was lower than the Dali judges of Wen Yanbo and others. Because Zhao Zhen was in the second year of Tiansheng and did not conduct the palace examination, he ranked according to the provincial examination, so he was also generous in the first palace examination in Tiansheng.

But with Xu Ping's few historical knowledge in his previous life, he didn't even have any impression of the name of this Jinshi. This was in great contrast to the three Jinshis during the Tiansheng period, and Xu Ping was a little unbelievable. Perhaps this is the norm in history. Most Jinshis are actually unknown, and there are very few who can leave their names in history.

Zhang Fangping, who was very optimistic by Xu Ping, did not participate in this imperial examination, but made every effort to prepare for the April subject examination. The examination requirements for the Jinshi subject are many different. Like Fu Bi, a person who can switch between the two at will cannot be produced for many years, and it cannot be considered a normal phenomenon.

After the roll call ended, the new Jinshi also had a ceremony to give robes and scepters and thank them for their gratitude. Xu Ping and others came out of Chongzheng Hall in advance. In the following month, many ceremonies of the new Jinshi were required to participate in Xu Ping and others to strengthen the court's momentum and set an example for the new Jinshi. These celebrations were all very enjoyable for the people who celebrated, and those who were onlookers were helpless.

Today, Xu Ping felt that it was really not a good job at the station. Looking at the new Jinshi's extremely excited, the onlookers no longer had this passion. Thinking of himself as calm back then, his heart was pounding when he was singing the title, but now he no longer had that feeling.

Li Wei's family was poor. When he came to Beijing, he just borrowed travel expenses from his relatives and friends. He could not afford the following thank-you silver and the futures, and all of them fell on Xu Ping. When he went out, Xu Ping gave him more than 100 taels of silver to carry, which was considered today's expense. Without Xu Ping's support, Li Wei was able to borrow money everywhere.

In addition to Li Wei, there are two other Jinshi in this class, and Xu Ping was entrusted by others to take care of him.

One is the top scholar Zhang Tangqing, and Han Qi asked Xu Ping. Zhang Tangqing was from Qingzhou. After Han Qi became a Jinshi, he visited Zizhou when he was a magistrate and was highly appreciated by Han Qi. For example, today, the Jinshi in the fifth year of the Sheng Dynasty, Xu Ping's official position was already high and had enough ability to support others. In the same year, those who had such a thing, basically came to Xu Ping.

The other is Wen Yanruo, who was the third-class person in Wen Yanbo, who was appointed as the junior official at the time. Although Wen Yanbo's father Wen Wei was the Baibo Shipping Envoy of the Three Gate and was also a middle-class official, he was still far from being a servant like Xu Ping and could not say anything in the court.

At this time, Wen Yanbo was appointed as the doctor of Taichang in Yanzhou. He was the official position of Xu Ping many years ago. He had not received the opportunity to summon the bachelor's college for examination. It was a little different from Han Qi, who served as the promotion officer of Kaifeng Prefecture with his library. Another year in the same year, Bao Zheng was still at home to serve as a supporter at his old mother and did not serve as an official. The top scholar Wang Yaochen was mourning, Zhao Gui was appointed Hongzhou, Zhao Xu was appointed Ruzhou, and Wu Yu was appointed Suzhou. This is the current situation of the best Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng.

Xu Ping was appointed as the deputy envoy of the right officer and the Longtu Pavilion, who was appointed as the deputy envoy of salt and iron, far surpassing the public, and was the core of course.

Fan Zhongyan and Xu Ping walked side by side, left Donghua Gate, and said to Xu Ping: "Yunxing wrote a letter to the newly established camp and field affairs in Kaifeng Prefecture the day before yesterday, and was under the jurisdiction of the Sansi. Although the matter was feasible, the camp and field affairs have always been affiliated with prefectures and counties. Is it inappropriate to transfer to the Sansi now?"

Xu Ping said: "Fan Taijian said this a bit bad. Although the local land management is under the jurisdiction of prefectures and counties, the accounting examination courses have always been in the third department. It is nothing more than that the three departments do not care about the local area and entrust the prefectures and counties to manage. The counties under Kaifeng Prefecture are not far from the capital, and the three departments can directly manage the jurisdiction, but it is inconvenient to entrust the local area. Besides, the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture are complicated. Whether it is the Kaifeng Prefecture Office or the official affairs department of the county and county towns, they do not have the energy to do this, so it is better not to bother them."

Fan Zhongyan nodded: "It makes sense to say this, so what should I do if I rent and tax?"

"Since you are not affiliated with the local area, you will naturally pay the rent tax as much as the people and the land, so that Kaifeng Prefecture will not lose money to rent classes. However, the servants are exempted. This is also a customer in the local area, and he does not serve labor."

In the past, the land management in the field was all in other places. They were originally promoted by the prefecture and county magistrates, and the income was directly calculated into local income. The three departments were just accounting books, and there was no problem of tax and labor. In Kaifeng Prefecture, the land was directly managed by the three departments. The land was the land of Kaifeng Prefecture, and it was unfair to the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture to take the exam. Of course, Xu Ping could also directly exempt the tax on land management, but the three departments could pay the Kaifeng Prefecture from the account. However, it was difficult to assess the land management officials and it was easy to form a kingdom. After thinking about it, taxes would still be paid the same. In this way, there would be more supervision from local governments and management would not be troublesome.

The precautions for things and the rule of things is the family law of the Song Dynasty, and it rarely gives officials the opportunity to be authoritarian. Even when Xu Ping was in the sugar sugar business, he also had the same recommendation of Han Zong, and he was responsible for supervision. The good aspects of this practice also restrict too many unfavorable places for officials to do things, which have both advantages and disadvantages.

Fan Zhongyan pondered and did not serve in the service. Although it was legally reasonable, it was always unfavorable to the local area. Once the official land management and land management occupied too much land, local financial and material resources would inevitably be affected. But since it was the official land management and it was unreasonable to have no preferential policies. It was not easy for Xu Ping to agree to pay rent and taxes, so it would be a bit over again.

At this time, there were already crowds of people outside Donghua Gate, and the people in the city came out to see the top scholar parade and even rode a horse. Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan simply walked with other scholars, and let their followers lead the horse and went around from other roads to Xuande Gate.

Looking at the crowd around him, squeezing around, I didn't know what to do when I squeezed in front of me. There were also wealthy families waiting outside the Donghua Gate to see if they could get a ready-made son-in-law.

Li Wei is not married yet. Originally, his mother meant that if she failed to win the title this time, she would marry and have children when she went home, and she would honestly live a life of studying and passing on the family as his father. Now, once in high school, the choice of marriage is different.

Xu Ping remembered that he was a Jinshi and the same situation was the same when he passed the imperial examination. He couldn't help but feel like he was dreaming.
