My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 169 Whereabouts of Xinke Scholars

Zuo Yutian returned to the room, and his wife stood with her hands down, looking behind him.

Zuo Yutian looked at her and said with a smile: "The gift is confiscated, and I don't mean to be arrogant. As the number one scholar in Enke, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. Jiang Qingquan rushed to give the gift. He is looking for death. I It is estimated that within two or three days, someone will come to him to settle accounts."

Zuo Yutian sneered and said, "I've been an official for many years, but I'm still a fool. The so-called Jinshi background is nothing more than that!"

Madam was stunned for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "Master, you are also a Jinshi!"

"Me? Is it considered a Jinshi?" Zuo Yutian said to himself: "Yes, but I am the essence of it, a unique outstanding person, different from these idiots."

Madam couldn't help it anymore, "Master, I'll get you hangover soup, you're just drunk."

Speaking of Madam turning around and leaving, Zuo Yutian was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It is true that he is drunk, but after tonight, he will not be able to talk drunk.

Although Enke is good, although the number one scholar is great...but the tree is big and there are many people. Only by being cautious and walking on thin ice can we last long.

Zuo Yutian had a good idea, but he still miscalculated one thing.

He didn't wait until the next day. In fact, when Jiang Qingquan left home to give Zuo Yutian a gift, Jin Yiwei had already dispatched.

Almost at the same time, Xu Jingchang got the criminal evidence about Jiang Qingquan in his hands.

Three years ago, when Jianwen was still in power, many refugees gathered in Yingtian. In order to save the famine, the two counties each received 7 shi of grain... Among them, Shangyuan rescued more than [-] refugees, and Jiangning did not even get [-].

"Old Huang, your political performance is better than others, why haven't I seen you get promoted?"

Huang Xiaoru said bitterly, "It's good if I didn't get dismissed from office. There are too many refugees gathered here, and I can't take care of them. There was an armed fight, and dozens of people died. Immediately, someone impeached me, and I almost lost my position. Later, the Ministry of Households distributed life-saving food. At that time, my side was [-] shi less than Jiang Ning's."'

With [-] shi less grain, no matter how capable you are, you can't do better than others... It's really a good way for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"I learned another trick!"

Huang Xiaoru coughed lightly: "Mr. Ding, why are you learning these things? The lowly officials need your help!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "If I don't understand these things, don't I even know how they bully you? How can I help you?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "How about it, are you interested in being the magistrate of Yingtian?"

"Ying Tian Zhifu!"

Huang Xiaoru was taken aback, Yingtian Zhifu belonged to the high-end match among the high-end matchmakers, and was a senior official of the third rank.

And because he is at the foot of the emperor, with great authority and high status, even those chief envoys cannot compare.

It is really unrealistic for me to be directly promoted from a mere county magistrate to the prefect of Yingtian.

Even if there is no vacancy in the prefect of Yingtian?

Could it be that?
Huang Xiaoru turned pale with shock, "Mr. Ding, will you be involved in a lot this time?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's hard to say. After all, in the yamen in Beijing, there are more or less people who have been admitted to Jinshi, and some masters from other places have also stepped into the court. I don't know how much will be involved in the future." Hard to say."

When Huang Xiaoru heard it, he suddenly trembled and broke out in cold sweat.

Bad, someone from his yamen was admitted to Enke and became a Jinshi.

No one will take their own knife, right?
Huang Xiaoru was so frightened that he hurriedly said goodbye, went back quickly, and reflected on himself to see if there were any omissions, so as not to overturn the boat.

That night, I don't know how many officials in Beijing, they couldn't sleep all night.

It turned out that the subordinates suddenly climbed up, it turned out to be such a terrible thing!

In the officialdom, everyone knows a saying, which is to deceive the superior and not conceal the inferior.

The higher ups are easy to deceive, even the wisest emperor cannot know everything.

The people below are always staring at you, so it is not so easy to coax, but they are nothing, after all, they are only mere scribes, and they can rebel?

It's just that the problem has suddenly changed now. The people below have suddenly got up, obtained the status of Jinshi, and entered the class of scholar-bureaucrats.

Even if the official position is not as good as his own for the time being, the future is bright.

It's about to die!

Can't live!

In the midst of howling, Zhao Bangquan, the magistrate of Yingtian, was arrested.

Before dawn, Ying Tian Fu Cheng, three in command middle officials, four of the six general judges, one pusher, and several officials...all were taken down and sent to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.

In other words, within one night, the government office was almost empty.

There are only two judges left, you look at me, and I look at you, standing alone, inseparable from each other.

How about we go to prison and surrender ourselves!

This taste is really terrible.

It was finally dawn, and Xu Jingchang went straight to the yamen of the household department in his tiger shooting cart.

When he saw Xia Yuanji, Lao Xia was furious, and asked, "Xu Jingchang, why did you arrest someone from the Ministry of Accounting again? You should say hello to me anyway, am I just a display?"

Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "Could it be that Xia Shangshu meant that I should arrest you too? To be with my subordinates?"

In an instant, Xia Yuanji's face changed wildly. He took a deep breath and sat opposite Xu Jingchang.

Then he said earnestly: "What on earth are you planning to do? Arresting people so wantonly, a doctor in the household department and two Yuanwailang were arrested. People are panicking, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Old Xia, don't play tricks on me. You are very happy now, with this group of new scholars rushing ahead, and Jin Yiwei helping you clear the obstacles, the pressure on the household department is not so light. Less? Last year, I made up a lot of shortfalls, and I was not imprisoned by His Majesty. I’m afraid there will be a surplus this year, am I right?”

Xia Yuanji rolled his eyelids and didn't say anything. Xu Jingchang's hands and eyes are open to the sky. He was already very shrewd.

"Dingguo didn't come here to gossip, did he?"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Old Xia, tell me, how will Jian Yi plan to arrange the history of the new division Jinshi?"

The so-called calendar is the internship before officially becoming an official. The imperial court will give a period of time for the new scholars to adapt to the transition from scholar to official. It is a very critical step before taking office, and it is also related to the work arrangement of the new scholars.

Xia Yuanji immediately said: "This is an errand for the Ministry of Officials, and the list has just been announced, I'm afraid it's too late, why don't I ask Jian Tianguan for you?"

Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing, "Old Xia, do you think I really don't understand? There are rules about the history of Jinshi... If you are proficient in household affairs, you will be sent to the Ministry of War, and those who are familiar with criminal names will be sent Go to the Ministry of Industry, and those who know engineering will be sent to the Ministry of Rites... As for those with outstanding literary talent, their mouths are full of poetic words, and they are placed in the position of real work. "

"Stop talking." Xia Yuanji gave Xu Jingchang a hard look, "Where did you hear that? The imperial court must arrange officials well. How could you do this?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Really? I said this is considered to be a good person. After all, if this arrangement is made, there will be no troubles, right?"

Xia Yuanji's complexion changed again and again, leaving only a long sigh.

When it comes to employing people, it is true that sometimes, such arrangements should be made.

After all, once you are a special expert, you will make a fuss when you take office, and no one can stand it.So get some laymen to go there, and by the time they get familiar with the situation, a long time has passed, and they have established a relationship with their colleagues in the yamen, so there won't be too many things going on.

But the history of Jinshi is not included, after all, most of these Jinshi are nerds and have not been deeply involved in the world... As Xu Jingchang said, such people are suitable to be placed anywhere.

After all, no matter where they are, they can only be human beings with their tails between their legs, and they can't make any noise.

"I said Duke Ding, what on earth do you want to do? The two of us are old friends, so you just say it, and I'm listening!"

Xu Jingchang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Xinke Scholars shoulder the grace of the emperor and have the expectations of the common people. It's like a new wind blowing into the decadent officialdom. If you can seize the opportunity and let them collide with the existing officialdom, It will definitely have a miraculous effect. But if it continues to delay and let them go to an inappropriate yamen to experience the incident, after the excitement is over, I am afraid that there will be no effect."

Xia Yuanji frowned, "Mr. Ding, if you are worried about this, go and tell His Majesty, and tell Guan Tianguan that I am in charge of the household department, and there is really nothing I can do."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Shangshu Xia, thank you for being the Minister of the Household Department! Don't you know that the lifeblood of the imperial court is in your hands! The head of all officials, the Minister of the Household Department will do his part."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Yuanji categorically denied: "The officials of the official department are in charge of personnel affairs, and my household department only manages money, food and household registration. How can I be regarded as the top of the hundred officials?"

Xu Jingchang ignored Lao Xia's modesty, and just smiled lightly: "Xia Shangshu, you said that local officials should sign military orders for all yamen that involve finance and taxation. Jinshi, go to the provinces, prefectures, and even counties, let them supervise the local officials, and fulfill their promises, what will happen?"

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and his whole body became excited.

Although the official department manages people and has the most power, if the evaluation standard of officials becomes the payment of grain and tax... the Ministry of Households completely empties the official department.

Moreover, Xinke Jinshi was sent down to supervise the local area. These people were the imperial envoys sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

With hundreds of eyeliners all of a sudden, how much can the authority of the household department increase?

If he can do this well, he can completely replace Jian Yi and become the real head of all officials.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I wanted to discuss this matter with Xia Shangshu, but since I was suggested to go to Jian Tianguan, then I left... In fact, it is not difficult for the Ministry of Officials to formulate the test method. item."

Xia Yuanji was startled.

Xu Jingchang added: "You can also ask the Ministry of Officials to include finance and taxation in the main evaluation... At that time, Shangshu Xia will just focus on collecting money from the treasury. To be honest, I am quite envious."

"no!"

Xia Yuanji jumped up and said sharply, "This matter must be given to my household department no matter what!"

Instead, Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Why? I think Jian Shangshu is also pretty good."

Xia Yuanji shook his head again and again, "He is in charge of people, and his subordinates are all former non-commissioned officers. Only I can have one heart with you. Ding Guogong, we two are truly like-minded comrades!"
