The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 312 Gold List Title
Let's not talk about the changes of [Blackwood Cliff].

On Longhu Mountain, it took Hong Kang more than half a year to read less than [-]% of the books in [Chishuge], but he had to leave.

Zhang Xuanqing heard about it and hurried to see him.

For more than half a year, Zhang Xuanqing's life has been much easier.

"Lady Hong is leaving? But the poor are not entertained enough?"

Hong Kang shook his head and said, "I have a letter from my younger brother, a title on the gold list, I have to hurry back."

Henry Zhang congratulated and said: "Oh?! Congratulations to the poor Taoist~! I don't want my brother to have such a talent!!"

Hong Kang laughed and said, "It's too good to be true, it's just a top three Jinshi!"

Although he said so, Hong Kang was still very happy in his heart.

What happened to the top three? !

This is out of hundreds of thousands of candidates across the country!
Zhang Xuanqing said: "For such a happy event, Jushi Hong must be present in person. I don't know if your younger brother will stay in Beijing or take charge of the local affairs?"

Hong Kang said: "It's not easy to stay in Beijing!"

Zhang Xuanqing understood immediately, and said with relief: "The capital is mixed with fish and dragons, and there is nothing wrong with being a magistrate. Moreover, it is easy for magistrates to make achievements."

Hong Kang said: "I think so too."

After being named Jinshi on the Jinbang list, those who are both excellent in character and learning enter the Imperial Academy. Although their future is bright, not everyone has the opportunity to be promoted.

Jinshi who were sent to various local yamen would naturally not start as well as Jinshi who entered the Imperial Academy, but if they did a good job in their positions, they might come from behind.

Education can determine a person's starting point, but it cannot determine a person's end point.Whether it is in this era or in future generations, it is the same reason.

Zhang Xuanqing seemed to think of something.Asked: "I don't know where my younger brother is assigned?"

Hong Kang said: "Not far from home, Hengzhou Prefecture, Leiyang County, County Magistrate, Zheng Qipin."

Zhang Xuanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured: "Hengzhou Mansion, Leiyang County... Hong Jushi, wait a moment."

He turned around and entered the inner hall, found his wife Zhu Ning, and said so.

Soon, Zhu Ning handed over a contract to Zhang Xuanqing.

Zhang Xuanqing looked down, stroked his beard and smiled.

Out of the inner hall.

Zhang Xuanqing handed Hong Kang a small brocade box.

"Junior Hong, I don't have anything else for the poor, so I just use this as a congratulatory gift. It's a mere gift, so I hope you can't refuse it."

After Hong Kang took it, he didn't open it, and asked, "This is...?"

Zhang Xuanqing said: "When my younger brother first arrived in Leiyang County, it was not easy to find a suitable place to live. You can't stay in the county government all the time! This is the title deed of a temple in the northwest of Leiyang, but the place There is no one to preside over the temple, and it has been in disrepair for a long time, but it happened to be demolished and rebuilt."

If the title deed of the palace is intact, Hong Kang will hesitate a bit.

"Then Hong has thanked Daoist Zhang on behalf of his brother-in-law."

Zhang Xuanqing then asked: "I don't know when Layman Hong will come again? Pindao has benefited a lot from communicating with Layman Hong during these days."

In the past six months or so, Hong Kang not only stayed in [Chishu Pavilion], but also communicated with Zhang Xuanqing and Zhang Yujian.

Zhang Xuanqing and the others admired Hong Kang's profound Taoism and martial arts theories.

Hong Kang said: "After I was busy with my younger brother, Hong came to disturb Daoist Zhang. I have only read less than [-]% of the books in [Chishu Pavilion]!"

The two smiled at each other.

"Bon Voyage."

"Stay."

…………

In Hengyang City, 【Black Water Tower】.

Thursday pulled Wednesday, constantly asking about the capital.

Is the capital big?Are the food and drink good?
Are the girls pretty...? !

Pang Qingyang described to Pang Xinyao all kinds of people he saw in the capital.

Talking about the candidates who have met in the past six months...

Pang Juan checked the letter of appointment over and over again.

Quite dissatisfied, she snorted coquettishly: "Brother Xun, you have passed the Jinshi exam, the imperial court will give you a county magistrate!? Isn't that the same as our county magistrate Chen in Hengyang!?"

Zhou Xun explained with a chuckle: "It's said that they are fellow Jinshi, not Jinshi, and the magistrate is also different from the magistrate."

Then, Zhou Xun tried his best to explain the difference between the two in more understandable words.

Pang Juan was still dissatisfied: "What's the difference?! I heard that Chen Fenghua didn't take the imperial examination, so why is he also a county magistrate? Brother Xun, do you think he was bought as an official?!"

Zhou Xun said: "He is a descendant of Enyin, who directly shades the officials. However, if this kind of Enyin is born without a big background, the county magistrate will come to an end in this life."

The so-called "benevolence" refers to the treatment given to children and grandchildren to enroll and serve as officials because of the meritorious service of their ancestors and parents.

In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants of the seventh rank or above could receive a salary from their sons, which was called a benevolent student.

Zhou Xun said again: "Also, don't think that the magistrate is just a seventh-rank official, but it is not easy to do well, because there are many things to manage."

Thursday interjected: "A lot?? I think that Chen Fenghua is very free! He doesn't care about anything all day long, but the money is rushing in."

He thought of how his elder brother Hong Kang had spent a lot of money to handle the household registration for them.

The money is certainly not much in terms of the assets of the [Black Water Building] now; but at the time, it was still a considerable expense.

"The county magistrate is in charge of a county's criminal names, money, prison lawsuits, public security, tax collection, corvee service, and education of the people. If there are garrison troops stationed locally, they must also serve as the military supervisor or prison, and also manage the military."

"It's not that simple to be a magistrate!!"

Zhou Xun said: "In and around Hengyang City, there are not only Nanyue [Hengshan School], but also me [Heishuilou]. So leisurely."

"Just imagine, if in a county town, there are always robbers in the forest, or lawsuits about human life, then the chief county magistrate will not be in a hurry all day!!"

Pang Xinyao worried: "Then Leiyang County doesn't have many sects stationed there, and there are many mountains and hills, and I don't know how many bandits there are. Second brother, why don't we move [Black Water Building] to Leiyang County? !"

Zhou Xun shook his head and vetoed: "Sister, there is no need to do this. If I do this, will I have to move [Black Water Building] every time I go to work in a place?"

Pang Xinyao said: "Is it not possible?!"

Zhou Xun was both helpless and moved, and said: "Sister, believe me, it's just a county, and I can manage it well. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity for studying and practicing martial arts for so many years."

"Also, I believe that if the eldest brother is here, he will not agree."

Hong Kang's voice suddenly sounded from outside the house.

"I don't care about moving, but it can't be for this reason."

When the voice fell, the person had already appeared in the house.

Still dressed in Xuanyi.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother~!"

"Big brother..."

The six people shouted one after another, with joy in their words.

Zhou Xun handed over the letter of appointment and asked Hong Kang to have a look.

Hong Kang looked at the date of appointment and the red seal of the jade seal on it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, it's time to go."

"I think there are still about two months before you take office. During this time, let's hurry up and do something."

Zhou Xun asked, "Brother, is there something important?"

Hong Kang looked at him and said, "Is your marriage with Juan'er an important matter!?"

As soon as Hong Kang said this.

"Hey~~!"

"Oh~~~!"

There was a sudden uproar in the room.

Pang Juan's face turned red suddenly, like a sunset glow.
