Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

But the ancients all had this kind of biological clock!

Generally speaking, the ancients went to bed early and went to bed as soon as it got dark.Then I have to get up at three o'clock in the morning, work when I should work, and go to work when I should go to work.

According to the system, officials above the fourth grade in Beijing must enter the palace to meet with the emperor at Maoshi to discuss state affairs. .

Since traveling to the Ming Dynasty, although Su Mu has changed his body, his psychology is still that of a modern person, and he still maintains the living habits of when he was teaching in the university.Don't sleep until dawn every day and won't get up.

Later, when he went to Cangzhou for an inspection, he was a toubob, a world where Su Mu made his own decisions, and no one dared to ask him how long he wanted to sleep.As for entering the Salt Division as a staff member, other colleagues will regard him as invisible, and it is best not to go.As for being late or not, no one asked.

It's all right now, when you enter the General Administration Department, you have to go there on time every day.Of course, you can also be late. The problem is, if you do this, your reputation will be completely ruined. How can you still be in the officialdom in the future?

Thinking of this, Su Mu's heart moved: Actually, even if you can't win the Imperial Academy, you can go to a local government to be an official, and it would be good to become a governor or governor in the future.It's not like being a Beijing official in Beijing, even if you are the chief minister of the court, at four o'clock in the morning, no matter how cold it is, you have to go to the court obediently.

He smiled again: Su Mu, oh Su Mu, you are depressed just to sleep late, this is not you!

Lifting his spirits, he washed his face under Xiaodie's service, and Su Mu had breakfast with Wu Shiqi again.After leaving the gate, the hired sedan chair was already waiting at the gate.

It turns out that, not to mention the low salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty, it is not like later generations. Any civil servant with some official position, as long as he is a senior official or above, will be equipped with a special car.In such a huge city of Beijing, the number of buses reaches an astonishing one hundred thousand, and the exhaust gas has turned the city into a foggy city.

In this world, there is no special car for officials below the fourth grade, and they have to hire it themselves.

In this way, an expanding taxi class was born.Especially on the streets outside the Imperial City and Xiyuan, dozens of sedan chairs are parked all year round to collect goods, and they stop at the beck and call, with an excellent attitude.

Therefore, Su Mu purposely found two sedan chairs for a monthly subscription. Old Mr. Wu wanted to be an upright official and was very poor, so he was willing to let his future son-in-law pay for it.

Just about to get on the sedan chair, Zhao Hulu followed: "Master."

Su Mu remembered what he was asked to deliver the letter last night, and asked, "Has the letter been delivered yet?"

Zhao Hulu: "Returning to the master, the villain has found Daoist Chongxu. The old god read the letter and said that he will definitely arrive tomorrow. It's just...just..."

"What is it?" Su Mu asked.

"It's the old god who rewarded the foot money."

"Oh, keep it."

Zhao Hulu was taken aback: "Master, the reward from the old god is really too much, the villain dare not take it, why don't you give it to the public?"

"How many?"

Zhao Hulu: "Ten taels."

"Twenty-two scares you like that, keep it!" Su Mu saw that Mr. Wu's sedan chair had gone far away, so there was no need to delay any longer, so he said, get on the sedan chair and tell the bearer to leave quickly, and it is better not to be late .

The capital city is different from other places, and we often have to pay attention to our personal image.For example, things like being late and leaving early are not easy to do, otherwise, if you let someone know.In the future, even if you become a Jinshi and become an official, it would be great if others say "this person is too lazy to be useful".

It doesn't matter if you can make achievements or not, the key is not to make mistakes.

Speaking of which, this Chongxu shot was generous, obviously he was impatient to see the emperor.

When Su Mu left, Zhao Hulu still felt uneasy, so he handed over the ten taels of silver to Xiaodie.

Since joining the General Political Department, Su Mu and Mr. Wu have not communicated about work matters.After returning the gift at Baiyun Temple yesterday, Su Mu only talked to him when he got home.

The old man just said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.As for how he entered the General Administration Department and what kind of political tasks he should take on, he was so confused that he didn't think much about it.

When Su Mu and Lord Wu entered the imperial city, they saw that the Meridian Gate Square was full of officials of the fourth grade and first rank in Beijing, all of them lined up seriously, waiting for the roll call, and then entered the palace one by one to participate in the morning court.

After a while, an eunuch came out with a ridiculously long whip. There was a series of crisp sounds of "cracking", there was no snow in the sky today, it was very cold, and the dewy whip was especially loud.

The old man was fascinated by the sight, and sighed in a low voice: "This is the atmosphere of Tianjia, solemn and solemn, this old man can be regarded as an eye-opener today!"

Su Mu smiled, I will watch this kind of situation every day from now on, that is to say, it is a bit fresh at the beginning, but after a few days, I will get tired of looking at it.

So he gave old Mr. Wu a hand: "My lord, it's more important to go back to the Yamen first to be on duty."

Only then did Mr. Wu come to his senses: "Yes, yes, let's go to the General Secretary."

Speaking of which, this was also Su Mu's first day of work in the strict sense.

The Secretary of General Administration has a big air, and there are many people.There are three departments in total.

The official office of the Tongzheng Envoy, the Senate Hall where the left and right councilors sit, and the experience hall where Mr. Wu is located.

Each department has five or six serving officials and five or six book offices.

There are six governors and four book offices in the experience hall where Wu Shiqi is located. The main job is to sort out the memorials handed in by the courtiers.According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the memorials of the ministers had to be handed over to the Secretary of General Affairs first, and then recorded by the Department of Experience, and then transferred to the cabinet.

In addition to being responsible for registering memorials, another job of the experience hall is to compile the residence newspaper.That is to say, by reading the ministers' notebooks and the replies sent back from above, the officials of the experience hall should select the appropriate content, compile it into a book, print and distribute it.

There is no quota for the establishment of the experience hall. For example, the number of governors below can be six or two, and sometimes there is only one.And the level of experience can also be large or small, the high one can be a court official of the seventh rank, and the low one is only the eighth rank.

Zuo Tongzheng of the fourth rank of the experience hall is directly managed, and Zuo Tongzheng is responsible for the Tongzheng envoy of the third rank.

The problem is that the officials above the fourth rank are already high-ranking officials, let alone the third rank.In addition, here is a reception room and an old-age care institution, and the Tongzheng Envoy and the Deputy Tongzheng are all considered noble.

The standard of Qinggui is very simple, one is to be expensive, and the grade should not be too low;

I heard people say that the three envoys of the Tongzheng Envoy and the left and right councilors are all very old Hanlin, and they don't appear very often on weekdays.However, today is the first day of Wu Shiqi's new job, according to the rules, all five adults should show up to meet him at the same time.
