Chapter 783
For the entire Tang Dynasty, Chongfusi was just a small part and was not under the jurisdiction of literati. Except for the political affairs hall, everyone else was too lazy to pay attention to it.
As time went by, the time came to the end of October, and the autumn harvest of each government was completely over. The transportation department spent a lot of effort to transport all the money and grain to Changsha.
At this time, we have to mention the superiority of Changsha's geographical location. There is Lingqu Canal to the south and the Yangtze River to the east and west. Large-scale water transportation makes the transportation cost extremely low and the losses are naturally small.
Thousands of sails compete to cover the sky and the sun.
"How majestic and so spectacular!" Zhang Yin was wearing a long robe, black veil and black leather six-square boots, standing on the bow of the boat. Looking at the grain transport ship set off from Jinling and going upstream, he couldn't help but sigh.
As a Bohai native, he has recently moved to Jinshan City. He has never seen this scene of surging rivers and rushing to Qianli. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide and was unbelievable.
Zhang Yin studied for many years, and this time he not only obtained a scholar, but also went to Chengtian Mansion to seize the fame of a Juren.
He did not follow the plan and headed north from Lingqu, but took a boat to southern Fujian and came to Jiangning Prefecture to see the so-called wealth of Jiangnan.
As expected, this trip was worthwhile, which greatly expanded his knowledge. Now he will take a boat to Changsha, waiting for the spring exam in April next year, and pass the Jinshi exam.
"Young Master, on the Yangtze River, you can't see such a scene twice a year. You are lucky!"
The boatman was wearing a hat, a short shirt with small sleeves, half of his arms, a belt, a long trousers, straw sandals on his feet, and a waist. Looking at the scene, he couldn't help but reveal his yellow and black teeth and sighed:
"Our trip will be smooth sailing with the government ship, and the Yangtze River Navy will be escorted by you. You can arrive in Changsha in two or three days!"
"Brother Zhang, you can imagine how powerful our Tang Dynasty is!"
On the side, the Chengtian Mansion Juren who went north with him were Wang Li and Dai Zhen. They were all rich families, so they naturally wanted to visit Jiangnan and just happened to be together.
As the saying goes, everyone in high school is full of money. Even though they are rich, they still cannot control the joy in their hearts. They feel kind and happy when they see everything, and they are extremely close to the court.
Yes, when they become juren, they have the qualifications to be officials and become candidates for the yamen, so they naturally yearn for joy.
"The Tang Dynasty has merged into the southern country and has been ruled with the pseudo-Song River. The country is powerful!"
Zhang Yin’s sense of belonging is not as strong as the two of them, but when he saw this scene, he couldn’t help but smack: “Thousands of sails compete, this is just the autumn grain of Jiangning’s mansion, I don’t know how much!”
Wang Li is slightly fat and wears a round robe. It is different from Zhang Yin's gray-white robe. He is wearing a beautiful robe with delicate patterns. You can tell at a glance that his family is rich.
He shook his head and said, "This is not something we can know, but I don't know how many juren compete for the Jinshi in the eleven governments of the court!"
"In the first year of Shenwu (960), nearly 300 people were admitted in each subject, and in the second year of Shenwu, only 60 Jinshi were admitted, so there were even fewer next year!"
Dai Zhen has a wide range of news and is open-minded. He does not value the two of them as much as the two of them. He smiled and said, "According to it, although the imperial court annexed the two countries last year, it actually valued the Jinshi more, and the number of Jinshi will probably be lower!"
"Why is this?" Zhang Yin came from a remote Kingsoft, and his knowledge was so simple than the two.
"Because we are the only ones who participated in the Jinshi exam. Everyone could take the exam before. There were so few juren. Chengtian Prefecture was the capital of the country, but there were only a few ten people. The total number of various prefectures in the world must be less than two hundred. In this way, it is naturally different!"
Dai Zhen waved the fan, looking light and quiet.
Hearing this, Zhang Yin felt a little depressed. Although there were fewer people, no elites in the world were full of knowledge and extensive books. He heard that he could obtain a juren was just because the court had admitted a large number of Jinshi in the past few years, so that the Lingnan elites were empty.
So, he was just a little lucky, how could he compete for other prefectures?
When he came to the mainland, he realized that the Tang Dynasty had eleven prefectures, hundreds of prefectures, thousands of counties, and millions of people. He was just a frog in the well and felt more ashamed.
"We have passed the Juren and are already half an official. If we can pass the Jinshi or not, we can only tell fortunes. Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about it!" Wang Li was a careful master, so he naturally saw that he was in a low mood and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Yes, Brother Wang said exactly!" Dai Zhen nodded quickly and said, "If you don't pass the exam today, you will take another exam in two years. Anyway, we are young, so we should see it. In the former Tang Dynasty, many poets sighed!"
You are really good at comforting people.
Wang Li shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's boring. Let's play chess. It's still too early to talk about it now!"
Zhang Yin was speechless and could only nod and agree. Regardless of Dai Zhen, who was blowing the air, he went straight into the cabin.
With the successive delivery of autumn taxes and the arrival of local candidates, the entire Changsha City became more and more lively. With the autumn grain, Zhang Yin and others also came to Changsha City.
Since the juren is already half an official, he has his own confession and is also a certificate for the Jinshi exam, no one dares to make things difficult for them. Many ordinary people and officials are polite, which makes Zhang Yin feel like a dream: he is also an official.
The first impression of Changsha City is that it is big, and then it is wide. There are many restaurants on the third and fourth floors, with many avenues on both sides, with houses lined up, including tea shops, wine shops, butchers, temples, public halls, etc., which are very lively. "We have passed the Juren, and we are already half an official. If we can win the Jinshi, we can only tell fortunes. Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about it!" Wang Li was a careful master, so he naturally saw that he was in a low mood and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Yes, Brother Wang said exactly!" Dai Zhen nodded quickly and said, "If you don't pass the exam today, you will take another exam in two years. Anyway, we are young, so we should see it. In the former Tang Dynasty, many poets sighed!"
