Peach Fortune Ring

After staying in Panyang County for two days and playing around with Cao Jing, Song Yan got up and went to the capital.

With the speed of his Daoist Golden Core, he rushed to the capital with all his strength, but within half a day, he arrived in the capital.

The capital of the Wei State is still relatively prosperous. It is said that the population has exceeded 500 million.

First, he found an inn to stay in. On the second day, he went to Taiyuan College to sign up. He had Cai Zixiao's recommendation letter, and he was also eyeing the names of Xie Yuangong and Cai Zixiao's disciples, so the admission was quite successful.

After completing the formalities, he became a glorious Tai Academy student.

The school provides dormitories where two people live in one room.

The school also has a canteen.

However, these have to be paid separately, but they are not expensive, only one tael of silver a year.

The principal of the Taiyuan Academy is called Jijiu, and he is also an official, and he is still a third grade.

Let's talk about the official ranks of Weiguo, ranging from first rank to ninth rank.

For example, the county magistrate of Huangshan County is a ninth-rank county magistrate, because Huangshan County is a low-rank county, while the county magistrate of a medium-sized county is a eight-rank county magistrate, and the county magistrate of a high-ranking county is a seven-rank county magistrate.

The county magistrates of both low-level counties and middle-level counties can be served by Juren, but the county magistrates of upper-grade counties must be served by Jinshi.

But being a Jinshi does not mean that you can be an official.

Generally, only the first-class and second-class Jinshi courts will directly arrange official positions.

Yijia is the top three, namely No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tan Hua.

These three people usually start from the Imperial Academy, and the highest official position of the Imperial Academy is only the sixth rank, and the ordinary Hanlin is only a seventh rank official.

But no one dares to underestimate a Hanlin, because today's Wei Guoge elders are all born from the Hanlin, so the Hanlin Academy is called the Chuxiangyuan.

Second-class Jinshi will be arranged to serve in six ministries, and if they reach the top, they can also serve as ministers of various ministries.

But compared to Ge Lao, it was worse.

The so-called extremely personable ministers are those who join the cabinet.

The top three Jinshi can seek the post of county magistrate, or be a small official in the capital, but it is not easy to be an official in the capital, because promotion is fast in the capital.

As for the release, it is still not easy. After all, so many Jinshi will be selected within three years, and there are only so many official positions. Therefore, only those who have connections or money can be released smoothly to serve as county magistrates. .

Closer to home.

After successfully registering at the Taiyuan Academy, Song Yan went to the inn to check out and moved to the Taiyuan Academy.

The Jinshi examination is still three months away, so he still needs to study in Taiyuan Academy for three months.

"Hi, I'm Yan Gui, what's your name, brother?"

After Song Yan entered the dormitory, he saw his roommate, a black-faced scholar.

"Hi brother Yan, my name is Song Yan!" Song Yan responded with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the two quickly became acquainted. Yan Gui had been studying in the Taiyuan Academy for more than three years. After he failed the Jinshi examination in the last session, he stayed in the Taiyuan Academy to study hard and strive for re-examination this time.

When Yan Gui knew that Song Yan was already a candidate when he was less than 14 years old, envy and admiration flashed in Yan Gui's eyes. Unlike him, he is now 27 years old. If he fails the exam, he can only leave the capital. After all, although the cost of Tai Academy is not high, he is also extraordinarily frugal, but after three years, he has almost spent all his money.

"Brother Song, let's go to the cafeteria together!" Near noon, Yan Gui suggested.

"it is good!"

Song Yan nodded, and followed Yan Gui to the cafeteria.

There are not many people in the cafeteria, because most of the people who come here to eat are students from poor families.

The taste of the food is average, barely edible.

After dinner, Yan Gui took Song Yan around the college and told him that there are teachers in Tai College every day, but it depends on the individual whether to go or not.

After all, those who study in Taiyuan College are all people who have achieved fame and are preparing for the exam.

For this, Song Yan liked it better.

After expressing his thanks to Yan Gui, he went straight to the library of the college.

The collection of books here is very rich, as many as tens of thousands.

Song Yan picked out a few anthologies to read, and scanned the ones he liked directly into the system, and put down the ones he didn't like.

As the evening approached, Song Yan walked out of the library, but nearly a hundred books were scanned in the system, and it would not be too late to integrate them in the evening.

Thinking of Yan Gui's thin body, Song Yan walked out of the academy directly, bought some food and drink from outside, and happened to meet Yan Gui going to the cafeteria to eat, so he said: "Brother Yan, younger brother packed food and wine from outside, why don't we eat together !"

Smelling the aroma of the food in Song Yan's hand, Yan Gui swallowed, but finally shook his head: "No need, I'd better go to the cafeteria!"

"Brother Yan, you don't have to be polite. We both sleep in the same room, so why should you be polite? Besides, the food I packed is full. If you don't eat it, it's a waste, right?"

While talking, Song Yan couldn't help but pull Yan Gui back to the house, and enjoy the food and wine with him.

That night.

Song Yan spent more than a hundred points of luck to integrate the books scanned from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and then wrote an article on the second day, but felt that his essays became more and more exquisite and extraordinary. It is not difficult to be admitted to a Jinshi .

A few days passed by, during which time, Song Yan also went to listen to the lectures of the teachers of the Taiyuan Academy, but he didn't gain much, which made him quite bored and wanted to do something.

suddenly.

With a move in his heart, he had an idea.

So he found Yan Gui and asked, "Brother Yan, how is your painting technique?"

"It's okay!"

Yan Gui said.

"Then do you want to make money?"

Song Yan asked again.

Yan Gui's eyes lit up: "Brother Song has connections?"

He is very poor now, if he does not win the Jinshi this time, he will have no travel expenses even if he goes back to his hometown.

"I wrote a novel, but I need someone to do some character illustrations. How about you do the illustrations?"

Song Yan said.
