Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"Really?" Ding Tian was not interested in the ancient wives and concubines.

"Yeah!" Lin Qi said with a look of Ba Guibu on his face: "I don't know if I don't quarrel. It turns out that Mrs. Ruyi is also an official lady, but at that time her family was just an eighth-rank county magistrate. The county magistrate is said to be in a poor place, and he was slowly promoted later, but he became the county magistrate in the last two years, and at that time, Mrs. Ruyi was already the master's concubine."

"Oh." A pot of dog blood.

"However, my wife's family is not vegetarian. I heard that my wife's family is a well-known big landlord in the local area. There is an older brother in her family. He is now a Hanlin in the Imperial Academy. His younger brother is well-learned, and now he is a Juren." Lin Qibagua's special specialty: "I can't see it now, but it has stamina. Aunt Ruyi's family is now the county magistrate, but her natal brothers are not talented. I'm afraid that in the future... there will be no stamina!"

"Oh." Another pot of blood.

"And I heard that Mr. Ma's brother-in-law, who was the former prefect, has now been transferred away. His backer is gone. Although Mr. Ma has been transferred here, he has to live with his neck shrunk." Lin Qi talked eloquently: " As for Madam's natal elder brother, it is said that he is about to be released, and the North has just experienced war, and there is a shortage of manpower in many places, do you think he will come to us to be an official?"

"Who knows?" Ding Tian was delighted: "We started from the magistrate when we came here. What is the master afraid of?"

"You don't understand this, do you?" Lin Qi immediately became more energetic when he heard Ding Tian say this: "Our Lord Ma is just a fellow Jinshi, and you also know the saying 'Tong Jinshi is like a wife', He can reach the position of the magistrate when he is in the sky, and it will be difficult to go up. Unless there is credit like Mr. Du, who can't be wiped out, he can continue to go up. But the Jinshi is different, they can always Going up, there are even a lot of cabinet ministers."

This era is like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, non-jinshi do not enter the Hanlin Academy, and non-Hanlin Academy graduates do not enter the cabinet.

Civil officials are particularly strict in this practice. They don't want military generals, as long as they are willing to work hard on the battlefield without seeing their background, they can be promoted as fast as a rocket.

It's all because warriors don't have the twists and turns of scholars, but it's easier to get ahead than the civil service system

"I understand this, much better than you." Ding Tian graduated from a university back then, even if it was a police academy, it was still a university. In high school, his academic performance was still good, and he also learned history: "The imperial examination is divided into the top three. The top three, namely the number one scholar, the second place and Tanhua, are awarded Jinshi and the first place; No. 1 in the second class, called "Chuan Lu" (at first, the name of the top three was also called Chuan Lu, and later it was limited to the name of the second class), the second class Jia is given a Jinshi background; the top three are the most numerous, and Tong Tong is given a Jinshi background."

The "same" here actually means "different". The purpose of course is to give some psychological comfort to the losers, so that they won't be tempted to parade in the streets for a while and destroy the stable and united political situation.Corresponding to this is "Mrs. Ru": the so-called "Mrs. Ru" is the little wife... Of course the little wife is not a wife, but in order to comfort her, or to point out a "bright" future for her, the elder called her "Ms. Ru". ": Literally, it seems to say that you are "as" as a "madam" with me, and you will not be discriminated against; but in fact, it just points out that you are just like a lady, not a lady at all. Only the "Long March" has only taken the first step!

Ding Tian explained these truths to Lin Qiyi, and Lin Qi was enlightened: "What you said is very clear.

Ding Tian just smiled and said nothing.

What Lin Qi didn't know was that in another time and space, there was an allusion to this: Zeng Guofan was only shortlisted for the top three in the imperial examination in the 18th year of Daoguang and became a "co-jinshi".This matter has become a heart problem for him... What is it today?With Zeng Guofan's power, how easy is it to get a master's and doctoral degree?But in the Qing Dynasty, this matter is no joke.

So there is the following story: When he was the governor of Liangjiang, one day, two staff members played couplets when they were bored.

One came out with the couplet "Ru Furen", and the other was "together with Jinshi". foot", and the other said "given the same Jinshi's background"... was happy to meet, suddenly heard a loud noise in the room, and then saw the governor coming out of the room with a livid face, and walked away.

The two staff members were baffled, so they went to ask the old staff.

Hearing this, the old staff member hurriedly said: "Both of you, pack up your luggage and leave quickly. Why don't you open which pot and carry which pot... You don't know that Mr. Zeng was born as a Jinshi?" When the two heard this, they packed up their belongings immediately run away...

... They never dreamed that Master Zeng, who is so powerful in the world, is actually a "co-jinshi"!

Ding Tian is probably the only one who knows about this "stalker".
