Chapter 620 Capital City
Rong Yiyi has been in Beijing for three days.
Bai Su went out to the brokerage firm to inquire about the approximate prices of houses and shops in the capital.
He knew many friends in Jinzhou. Because he was the top scorer in the Jinzhou provincial examination, many people were optimistic about him and many people invested in him in advance.
Among them is Mr. Hu.
His family was a branch of the Zhongxin Marquis's Mansion and had a wide network of connections in the capital. He introduced Bai Su to a trustworthy and honest middleman.
Rong Yiyi bought the house and shop through this middleman, a scholar named Liu. Although the price was not much cheaper, at least she would not be cheated.
Housing prices in Beijing are very high.
In the southern part of the city, where merchants gathered, a two-story house would cost about 1,800 to 3,000 taels of silver, fully renovated. A three-story house would cost 4,000 to 6,000 taels of silver.
The small house at the junction of East and West Cities was worth at least 1,200 taels and had been in disrepair for many years.
Shops with good locations are more expensive.
Rong Yiyi bought a finely renovated three-story house in the south city and two small shops at the junction of the east and west cities, which amounted to almost nine thousand taels of silver.
Alas, it is so fragile!
It seems that I have to continue selling my house.
Fortunately, the two of them have countless ordinary-grade prescriptions, covering all kinds of things in the universe, as long as they fit the ancient background.
After Rong Yiyi discussed with Bai Su, they sold five or six prescriptions through Liu Xiucai, a middleman, and earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
Rong Yiyi wanted to open a branch of Xianzhifang first. The two small shops were connected, so after connecting them and renovating them, they could be used as a branch.
The imperial examination will soon begin.
Bai Su undoubtedly topped the list, that is, the first place, and he was planning to win three places in a row.
With his ability, it would be easy for him to put a little hint on the test paper.
However, it seems a bit shameful to use the means of cultivation in the mortal world, but if you don’t do so, you may not necessarily become the top scorer.
The top three in the palace examination.
The top three places are determined entirely by the emperor's preference and do not depend much on actual ability.
Generally, young and handsome men would be selected as Tanhualang.
At Bai Dazhu's age, he is already a grandfather, and there are several young talents in this class. He is not worried about being selected as the third place, but he may become the second place.
To be on the safe side, Bai Su's questions were very brilliant and in line with the actual situation currently faced by the Qin Dynasty.
It also happened to coincide with the emperor's ideas, adding to the emperor's plan and pointing out an executable plan, which made the emperor applaud.
Therefore, Bai Su was undoubtedly selected as the top scorer, and he deserved it!
Three hits in a row!
This has become another good story in Daming.
Originally, the top three scholars in the imperial examination would enter the Hanlin Academy. The top scholar would be directly awarded the title of editor, a sixth-rank official. The second and third scholars would be awarded the title of editor, a seventh-rank official.
but!
Bai Su is really outstanding.
The emperor felt that it was a waste of talent to let such a practical talent stay in the Hanlin Academy as an editor.
People who are good at doing practical things should do practical things.
then.
The emperor did not follow the usual practice and let Bai Su go to the Hanlin Academy, but instead sent him out of the capital to do practical work.
He was appointed as the Tongpan of Xizhou, a sixth-rank official.
After all, he was an official sent out to other places, not as elite as the officials in Beijing, and almost all of them started from the Hanlin Academy when they entered the cabinet, so he was given a higher rank.
visible.
The emperor really wanted to use him.
The position of Tongpan was directly appointed by the emperor to assist in state affairs and had the power to report directly to the emperor. He was a Kyoto official who combined state affairs and supervision, and had great power and responsibilities.
When the prefect issues an order, it also needs the signature of the magistrate.
Xizhou is an important border area. Dazhen has just ended the war with the western barbarians. There is a lot of work to be done and it needs officials who are pragmatic and down-to-earth.
The fellow Jinshi candidates were both envious and sorry for Bai Su. They envied him for being promoted directly to the sixth rank.
It's a pity that he is far away from the capital, and the officials outside the capital are definitely not as noble as the officials in the Hanlin Academy, but this is exactly what Bai Su wants.
To stabilize the country.
You must achieve some results.
He was planning to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years before seeking an external appointment, but the emperor was so supportive that he sent him directly to Xizhou.
The border is good, it is easier to achieve results. Rong Yiyi did not expect that the emperor would make wise decisions and recruit talents without any restrictions. Great!
She bought dozens of slaves and selected several managers, and asked them to manage the fairy weaving workshop, the house, and the farm respectively.
She later bought a large farm in the suburbs of Beijing, intending to have all three branches of the Bai family move to Beijing.
He hurriedly arranged matters in Beijing.
I didn't have to pack much luggage. I just moved from Jinzhou and there were many things I hadn't had time to put away, so it was easy to pack.
It hasn't even been a month since Bai Yan, the fourth Bai, went to Jingshan Academy.
Thinking that the academy in the capital must be better than that in Xizhou, it would be difficult to take him with him to take up the post, but he was also worried about leaving the fourth brother alone.
After Rong Yiyi's observation particles were taken back from Fang Yi, they were launched to the emperor through Bai Su at the Qionglin Banquet.
There are no extra observation particles at this time. Although the system has recorded the map of the capital, it has no observation particles and cannot observe in real time.
The fourth brother Bai Yan is too far away from the imperial city.
The observation particles around the emperor cannot cross such a long distance because they are limited by the mission time and space, and the observation range cannot exceed 1 mile.
The DIY simulation scenes are also restricted. In addition to not being able to view the target's psychological activities, the operating distance cannot exceed a radius of 1 mile.
After all, it came from across the void.
The restrictions will definitely be more stringent than those in this void, which is understandable.
"Let Boss Bai and his family come to Beijing!"
Bai Su made the final decision.
There is a large farm on the outskirts of Beijing, with a mountain next to it, which was originally used for growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms.
Although they have to take up posts outside the capital in advance, no one from the three branches needs to take up posts with them. There is actually no difference between being in Jinzhou and being in the capital.
It would be better if Boss Bai and his family came to Beijing earlier.
"Why don't we let everyone from the third branch come to Beijing?"
Rong Yiyi felt that there was actually no difference between the first and third rooms, as there were only a few more people.
The land in that big farm had been planned long ago.
Anyway, Bai Laoer and Bai Laosan's weaving and dyeing workshops had just started up and were still small workshops, so the big farm was more than enough for them to handle.
The whole family is together and can protect each other.
The main reason was that Rong Yiyi wanted to take back the two observation particles for other uses, so that she could use them while in office and help Bai Su get familiar with the state politics as quickly as possible.
"Well, do as you say!"
Bai Su nodded in support.
So they wrote letters to their three adopted sons respectively, asking Mr. Hu's relatives to help find a reliable escort company to escort the third branch of the family to Beijing.
Mr. Hu has passed the imperial examination and is currently interning at the Ministry of Revenue. He has not yet been appointed to an official position and will only be officially appointed after passing the examination in three years.
The mulberry silkworms from Bagou Village can be handed over to the Bai clan.
The small workshops of the second and third wives can be suspended or handed over to reliable relatives. If there are any specific ideas, the opinions of Bai Lao Er and Bai Lao San will also be sought.
In the future, these two blocks will be the two families’ own properties, so it is necessary to train them in advance.
After arranging all this and packing their luggage, Rong Yiyi took her little daughter Bai Tu and followed Bai Su on the road to Xizhou to take up their posts.
