Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

There are still two days until the fifteenth salary is paid. For this day, the governors of the experience department have been looking forward to it for a long time.

The officials in Beijing are poor, especially in Qingshui yamen like the General Secretary.

Some of the governors must have run out of food, which can be seen from their lunch.Especially Governor Duan, who has been eating porridge these days.

Duan Jiong has a good face, he only tells people that he has recently suffered from a gastrointestinal illness and needs to be raised.

Everyone agrees and doesn't expose it.

In fact, the days of the other governors are not easy, they are all eating mixed noodles.

When chatting, everyone sighed that they are all Qingshui yamen, but Qin Tianjian has also been lucky recently. When it comes to offering sacrifices to heaven at the end of the year, and the emperor is in charge, he can get a lot of benefits.At that time, when everyone is electing officials, they should go there.

Su Mu was very unimpressed with Governor Duan, and he could neither sympathize nor gloat over his embarrassment.I just sigh in my heart, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty are really low!It is not a good thing for the country to bring ordinary small officials of the central government to the moonlight clan.If these people hold real power in the future, they will inevitably be unable to resist the temptation of money and become corrupt officials.

As for the system of the Ming Dynasty, Su Mu was not interested in managing it, nor could he manage it.

He is not short of money, and the Development Bank does not send huge amounts of profits. Even if he does nothing now, it only takes a few decades to become a rich man.

Su Mu is in a good mood recently, mainly because Ms. Wu came back from Yangzhou.

It turned out that Wu Erer bought another house in the capital.But the old man was used to living in Su Mu's house, but he refused to go there.There is no other way, Ms. Wu can only stay by Su Mu's side.

The two get along day and night, and their relationship has grown deeper.

As for the matter that Ms. Hu's mother and daughter asked her to do, there has been no reply.The day before yesterday, Su Mu and Miss Hu met once.When asked about the Hu family, Hu Ying said bitterly: "Daddy still doesn't give up, saying that no matter what, he wants to give birth to a son and continue the family's incense."

It's just that Hu Shun's three outer rooms were confinement, so he didn't have a chance to take the next step.

However, according to family reports, Mr. Hu seems to be planning to buy another woman to have a son.

Father was so nonsense that Miss Hu gritted her silver teeth in anger.

Su Mu had no choice but to deal with the Hu family's family affairs.

Hu Ying said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my father would go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and pray a few years ago, and then I should be able to meet Daoist Chongxu at that time.

The affairs of the Hu family will not be listed. In the past few days, the busiest place of the General Secretary should be the small stone pagoda where waste paper is burned.

The ancients, especially scholars, had the habit of cherishing paper and ink.Especially the paper with writing on it should not be thrown away, it has to be collected together and cremated.

There is a two-meter-high small stone pagoda surrounded by one person at the examination wall of Tongzhengsi. It is said to be an old thing in the Yongle period, and the lowest floor has opened a door.

Once the paper is burned, smoke will come out from every floor of the pagoda.At night, you can still see the fire, which is very beautiful.

In the past few days, among the several governors of the Experience Department, except Governor Weng who was determined to take the imperial examination, although the others verbally refused to admit it, they still kept reading.Seeing the beauty, I sharpened my ink and wrote quickly.

They were secretive from the beginning, and then they didn't avoid people. They directly spread the book on the table and read it aloud while reading it.

After writing an article, several people discussed with each other.

It has to be said that these people are very talented, and Su Mu learned a lot from discussing knowledge with them.

Only Duan Jiong still looked out of place, and he didn't see him reading, but just watched with a cold face.

The paper consumed every day, added together, is not a small amount.Therefore, it seems that the Burning Paper Pagoda has never stopped breathing.

Everyone is busy preparing for the exam, and no one cares about the experience department.Actually, it's okay.

On this day, as usual, it was time to compile the Dibao.

This month's work should be about Governor Weng and Governor Guan, and the editor of the residence newspaper seems to be a big deal.But to put it bluntly, it is just a summary.Write down the list of appointments and removals of court officials this month, and then summarize the major events in the court and the public this month, and draw up a timetable.Finally, attach a few notes, the cabinet's draft opinions, and the emperor's approval.

Governor Weng has been on duty in the department for several days. He is thinner than others, plus he is old and his brain is not sharp, so he simply came to a stupid bird to fly first and live in the department directly. The picture is that the place is clean and not People bother.

Master Weng is old and not in good health. After such a toss, his eyes are as red as rabbits, and the corners of his eyes are full of eye feces. When he stretched out his hands, they were all covered with ink.

His face was pale and pale, and he looked extremely haggard.

As for Governor Guan, his complexion was also very bad, and he couldn't help complaining next to him: "Bianbian, it's just one editor anyway. The monthly mansion newspaper is printed, and when it's distributed to remote counties, it's already a piece of paper." After many months, the news has become old news, and this official does not think such things are meaningful."

Su Mu was waiting for such an opportunity. He walked over, picked up the paperwork on the table, and copied it for him: "By the way, there is a day off for bathing on the fifteenth day, so let's go to the Ministry of Rites to register on that day, otherwise Once delayed, it will be Chinese New Year."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the hall were stunned and looked at each other, even Duan Jiong straightened up.

Governor Weng: "Yes, Ziqiao, let's go together!"

Governor Guan sneered, "Go ahead and sign up. I'll forget it. I wish you all the titles on the gold list in advance."

As he spoke, he threw away the pen in his hand, and turned his gaze to the homework on his desk.Pretend to be nonchalant: "Hey, just now I wrote this article to relieve my boredom. I was doing it very well, but I want to edit the residence newspaper. It's a disappointment, a disappointment!"

Su Mu continued: "Let me make it up. Anyway, it's just an excerpt. It's not a big deal. Mr. Weng, you are old and lack energy, so it's important to prepare for the exam. Su Mu is young and energetic, and he can stand it."

Governor Weng has been exhausted for the past few days, and he was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you Ziqiao for that."

Su Mu could see clearly, not only Governor Weng, but also Governor Guan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the others, they didn't think there was anything wrong with handing over these words to Su Mu.Exams are important, and everyone is too lazy to take care of the department's affairs. If Su Mu wants to show his strength, let him do it.

Before he knew it, Su Mu had completely grasped the right to edit the Di Bao.

Although this power is not great, if it is used well, it can also grasp a certain amount of public opinion.

A big man cannot be without power for a day, and it is good to have small power in his hands.

It was the first time that Su Mu compiled the mansion newspaper, and it was a little difficult for Su Mu.Especially the manuscript selection, it takes a lot of thinking.

After a busy day, I took out a sample.

The mansion newspaper in the style of the Su family is finally released.

No need to ask, the selected articles and excerpts are all in the same tune: Yao and Shun, the daughter of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, are high-spirited and bright;Living in the Ming Dynasty, bathed in the sunshine of the queen mother and the emperor, the life of the people is so happy.
