Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wu Shigong walked into the yamen of Bingmasi, and found that there were not many people in the yamen, and most of them hadn't arrived at the yamen yet.Wu Shigong felt a little unhappy. It seemed that the style of the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy had to be caught.Wu Shigong came to the inner hall and told Wu Mian to call Xu Limu and Wang Baihu of the personal army.Xu Limu and Wang Baihu have already arrived at the Yamen.After a while, the three of them came to the inner hall.

Wu Shigong first asked Xu Limu whether the official military training request for the Ministry of War and Nancheng inspection censors had been written well?Xu Limu replied in shame: "No."It's not that Xu Limu was procrastinating.At that time, the work efficiency in the yamen was not so high, Xu Limu still followed the old rules, and wanted to arrange a document today and write it with peace of mind.Wu Shigong immediately told him to arrange someone to write it right away, because Wu Shigong thought that he would visit several yamen this morning and bring the official document there, and inspect the Yushi yamen at the Ministry of War and Nancheng, and file a case in these two yamen.

Then, Wu Shigong asked Wang Baihu if the military training plan had been drawn up?Wang Baihu also had empty hands.Yesterday, after Wu Shigong arranged for Wang Baihu to make a plan, Wang Baihu did not find a chance to ask Wu Shigong for instructions alone.After returning, Wang Baihu had the feeling of a dog biting bastard—the place where he hadn't opened his mouth.Because he had never made such a plan before, and he didn't know Wu Shigong's thinking, which made him a little helpless.Wu Shigong didn't make things difficult for Wang Baihu, he took out the military training plan that Zhu Yun compiled for him yesterday, and explained it to Wang Baihu in detail.Afterwards, Wang Baihu was asked to follow this plan to perfect it in detail, and to specify the content of the one-month military training to each day.After Wu Shigong asked Wang Baihu to make a plan, he would give it to Wu Shigong for review and approval.Then the day after tomorrow, let Wang Baihu distribute this plan to the six Baihu who participated in the military training, and.At the same time, let the six hundred households report the list of personnel who participated in the military training.After hearing Wu Shigong's arrangement, Wang Baihu quickly nodded in agreement.

Xu Limu's hands and feet were quite fast, and he finished writing the two official documents in just such a short time.So Wu Shigong called Shumo in, took out the official seal, found a box of ink pads, and covered it.The official seal in Wu Shigong's hand is officially opened today.Then Wu Shigong put forward his own requirements to Xu Limu and Wang Baihu: He asked them to improve their efficiency and keep up with their own work rhythm.In the end, Wu Shigong said to the two of them: just because they are their own people, Wu Shigong has higher requirements for them.These words made Xu Limu and Wang Baihu more heartwarming.

In the end, Oh Se-kung made a serious criticism of the work of the water dragon team of Wu Mian.Wu Mian was a little dazed by the criticism: Didn't Commander Wu still talk and laugh with himself just now, why did he change his face so quickly now?Wu Shigong said to Wu Mian: The work of the water dragon team is not only to put out fires, but also to prevent fires.He pointed out to Wu Mian: Are there safe passages in taverns and brothels?Are there fire extinguishers?Listening to Wu Shigong's criticism, Wu Mian became more and more mysterious.It turns out that Commander is pointing out a way to get rich for himself.

After such a short meeting, Wu Shigong put away the dried official documents and set off to visit other yamen.Before leaving, Wu Shigong told the three of them two things: one is to ask them not to be busy with the work at hand, and to take their soldiers and hundreds of households to inspect the disaster site of the big explosion, and cooperate with other hundred households to seal off the ruins , If someone still wants to go to the ruins to pick up items, first persuade and educate them, if they don't listen, they will be arrested.The other thing is to ask them to send people to the chariots and horses in Nancheng to announce that these chariots and horses will prepare [-] carriages equipped with drivers and grooms before June [-]th, and the government will requisition these Carriage for half a year to clean up the ruins.

After the confession, Wu Shigong officially set off with the guards around him.

Wu Shigong first came to his direct superior, the Yamen of the Ministry of War.Unexpectedly, after a long time of entanglement with the porter of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the porter refused to let Wu Shigong in.Because, after Wu Shigong arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he didn't know who to turn to.Wu Shigong thought to himself: Then find the biggest one.Therefore, he proposed to the concierge to go directly to see the Minister of the Ministry of War.How could the concierge inform Wu Shigong?The Minister of the Ministry of War has a lot of plans, how could he meet you, a small military officer?Being able to work as a porter in the yamen of the Ministry of War, the eyes are not very poisonous.The concierge had already seen from the pattern on Wu Shigong's official robe that Wu Shigong was just a deputy commander of the Military Division.He took it for granted that Wu Shigong, a miscellaneous official from the sixth rank, was classified as a military officer.In desperation, Wu Shigong asked if he could ask to see the Minister of the Ministry of War, or not to inform; what about Lang Zhong?Yuanwailang?Fortunately, Wu Shigong has a good memory, Zhu Yun still remembered his class yesterday.However, the concierge stated that they would not report at all.The concierge already knew that Wu Shigong didn't come to the yamen of the Ministry of War for any urgent business, he just came to visit after taking office and sent an official document asking for instructions from the military trainee.The civil servants in the yamen of the Ministry of War are all one-level seniors when they meet the military officers. Is it you, a small military officer, who can see them whenever they want?The concierge was still thinking: If Wu Shigong gave him a big red envelope, it would not be unreasonable.But Wu Shigong has not responded yet, does this person understand the rules?

The concierge's refusal made Wu Shigong very angry.In a fit of anger, Wu Shigong stuffed the military training document into the porter's hand, turned around and left.Wu Shigong thought resentfully in his heart: If you don't report it, you won't report it. If you dare, you will tear up the official document.

Then, Wu Shigong came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.The same story happened again.This is why Wu Shigong did not understand the official customs of the Ming Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, it was very serious for Wengui and Wubai to be inferior.It is a common phenomenon to look down on military officers.Wu Shigong turned around and wanted to leave the Ministry of Punishment.Just as he started to get on his horse, he heard someone calling him.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be his seventh brother Wu Shili.He was working as a clerk in the Ministry of Punishment.The two brothers chatted for a while at the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and seeing that Wu Shili seemed a little absent-minded, Wu Shigong knew that Wu Shili might be busy with business, so he stopped bothering him.So the two brothers saluted and bid farewell.

After that, Wu Shigong came to Dongchang Yamen.The guards at the gate of the East Factory were greatly surprised.It was the first time he saw that an official came to surrender himself.After hearing Wu Shigong's report of his intention, the guard drove Wu Shigong away impatiently.The guard still thought to himself: Is it you, a small official, who is in charge of the hundred households in the south city of our Dongchang, who can see them whenever he wants?Isn't your skin itchy, want to try our Dongchang's top ten tortures of Ming Dynasty?

Finally, Wu Shigong came to Nancheng to inspect the Yushi Yamen.The censor surnamed Gu in Nancheng inspection.Nagu Yushi met Wu Shigong, but this meeting also made Wu Shigong the strangest.As soon as the meeting started, after the two saluted, Gu Yushi was a little unhappy.Later, during the conversation, Gu Yushi sneered at Wu Shigong again and again.It made Wu Shigong very puzzled, did he not offend him before?However, Wu Shigong also didn't want to make the relationship with Gu Yushi stalemate, and if he couldn't afford it, he could hide it.Therefore, Wu Shigong took out the official document of military training and handed it to Gu Yushi to have a look.Unexpectedly, Gu Yushi threw down a sentence: Your military commander wants to train soldiers, so what do you care about me?After that, walk away.This stunned Wu Shigong for a long time, thinking in his heart: Is this Gu Yushi's aunt coming?

Wu Shigong didn't know, in fact, Gu Yushi was angry because Wu Shigong didn't understand etiquette.Wu Shigong went to Zhu Yun's place yesterday to supplement his official knowledge. Knowing that he was from the sixth rank and Na Gu Yushi was from the seventh rank, he took Gu Yushi as a seventh rank sesame official in his heart.Therefore, today he and Gu Yushi greeted each other with respect.However, the size of officials in the Ming Dynasty is not just based on their rank, especially between civil and military, the difference is even greater.Otherwise, how could the seventh-rank yamen, the inspector censor yamen in Nancheng, be able to lead the soldiers and horses in Nancheng to command the si yamen, a sixth-rank yamen?In the final analysis, it is still noble and noble.On weekdays, the commander-in-chief of the Bingma Division may kowtow when he sees the inspector censor.Today, Wu Shigong, the deputy conductor and acting conductor, met Gu Yushi, how could he not kowtow?And Gu Yushi thought that Wu Shigong's way of meeting him was to despise him, so he was very angry.

This morning, when I visited the yamen, there were too many inexplicable things.Wu Shigong was also not interested in visiting again.In fact, Wu Shigong didn't know that his behavior was wrong from beginning to end.The Ming Dynasty did not have the rule of visiting other yamen at all.Wu Shigong still carries the ideas of his previous life.After the new official takes office, he will visit the superior department and the brother department.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emphasis was on the fact that the king did not see the king.If there is no official business, the chief officials in each yamen will not meet each other.Of course, if you have a good friendship, no one will care about you if you go to sing karaoke after get off work.But when sitting in the office, they will never communicate with each other.If after Wu Shigong takes office, he only needs to arrange for someone to post his own post to each relevant yamen, telling everyone that he has taken office, and that will be fine.This is also the result of Wu Shigong not having a master who is familiar with the rules of the yamen to assist him.
