In March, almost all the students of Sian Chay, Lingde and Hongdu participated in the official examination in Beijing. Many people in Sian Chay Hall were orphans who had fled from the north, and the students of Hongdu were willing to break through under the call of Gu Wenkai. What's more, the people who follow the East Palace, no one has suffered a loss so far, especially the Hongdu seniors who have entered the princess industry, many of them have been promoted to the top or backbone of a certain place, and the master who has been working for many years may not be comparable. Lingde students were not the focus of the official examination, almost all of them rushed to the imperial examination, only many people knew that they had no hope, and saw the remaining white-bodied disciples and sons-in-law of the Gu family excitedly participate in it, and they followed suit. Over there is the Gu family's territory, no one will pit the surname Gu, and getting an official body after a few years is not much different from studying for ten years to get a fellow jinshi and then spending money to donate to the official.

The results of the first exam are still very good, and most of them are C-class diplomas or above, but there are not many people who can get first-class, and what makes outsiders puzzling is that Lingde's first-class is not even as much as Hongdu. The reason is actually very simple, one is that the test format is the same as the standardized test paper set by Gu Ci for female subjects, or those types of questions, arithmetic, criminal code, scriptures, literature and history, and agriculture and mulberry, especially the essay questions require a limited number of words, not a subjective question that allows you to write a few pages casually. The second is that these subjects are completely the strength of Hongdu students.

It is said that Heming Academy asked students to buy a set of books to do it back, and then debate it in class.

Immediately, the Ministry of Officials posted a list outside the official office to announce the vacancy of the position of the official in the north, the required diploma level and the score line of each subject, and Huang Shizhong and Gu Ce of the Literature and Anthology Department took advantage of the land of Jingzhao Mansion to set up a special place to accept applications and meet with candidates. This link is the same as the interview, the applicant fills out the resume, and the people from the official department interview the applicant one by one in groups of three, and the content outline of the question, each person must record the evaluation of the person, so as to make his file, and submit it to the head for review together with a statistical form made by Gu Ce, and then take it to Tang Shangshu for approval.

It may seem like a lot of work, but everyone who looks at the statistics table will feel that this method is better than what they used before - the first column is the person's name, and the first line is a series of details such as the position applied, the region of interest, the diploma, the interview evaluation, etc. You only need to put a tick in the corresponding grid, and you can clearly see the results of this work, and there are classified statistics for each detail at the bottom.

Not only are the positions full, but many people who are not selected tick the box on the item of "willing to accept adjustment", and if there is a new city in the north, there is no fear that no one will go!

The whole of the Anthology Division is beaming, everyone's calendar shows that the work was completed on time and in accordance with the quality and quantity, and the people who were selected were energetic to send a book to them, this "book" refers to the "Work Guidance Manual", the responsibilities and content of each position, what kind of situation will be encountered, how to solve it, who to report and ask for help, all clearly understand, especially suitable for rookies who have not done a day's work.

Everyone seems to be able to see the results of the exam after half a year, and everyone is excellent! Tang Shangshu looked at his son-in-law more and more kindly, and the wrinkles on his face were much less.

***********************

Compared with the spring breeze of the officials, Han Zhangsi is a little angry.

Beiguan Road repair according to Han Zhangsi's budget in February did not have any major problems, after entering March, the local Tongzhi who was in charge of the line in Zhenbei City made a report to urge materials, the gap was a little big, he was preparing a text to ask Changchun City Tongzhi if it was less for Zhenbei City. Sand, lime and other materials are not much in the local area, they are transported to Fushun along the Zhuan River, first pulled to Changchun City and then transferred to Zhenbei City, now I don't know which link is missing or occupied, can only ask up section by section.

At this time, Gu Wenkai came to ask for advice, saying that several younger brothers and sisters-in-law had received their posts and were ready to work together, and it happened that Gu Chong wrote to them, telling them that there was still light snow on the grassland at the end of February and early March, and they had to wear thick clothes. Which way is faster?

Although Han Zhangsi was a little brainless, he also understood that people were sending him a letter, letting him know that the matter of materials might be affected by the weather, so he quickly thanked him, and asked his subordinates to work overtime to revise the budget and extend the construction period.

In April, these officials arrived to start construction, and the line in Zhenbeicheng was still only halfway repaired, and before the Beiguan report came, Gu Wenkai came to Han Zhangsi again. Halfway through the construction is a newly opened territory, and the information of the military department only briefly explains that the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, but it does not mention that April is a gale period.

After Han Zhangsi learned the news, he silently postponed the construction period again before the report came to Zhenbei City.

The people and materials who built the road stayed on the spot for a long time, and it was in a Dianzi field with abundant grass and beautiful water, which used to be a large station of the Hulkand Department, and the steward Xiao Xiao took some businessmen with a keen sense of smell to buy a batch of local yaks, sheep and horses, and began to hire people to graze here, and booked next year's herbs, cashmere, wool, dairy products, yak meat and other things with these people in advance, and gradually gathered the popularity here. In order not to be delayed by the rainy season in June and to speed up the progress of the project, more people and prisoners were requisitioned. Unconsciously, Zhenbei City had used this place as a transit point, and finally built the road to Xinbeiguan before the first heavy rain in the grassland.

Han Zhangsi gratefully took Gu Wenkai's hand and asked him to drink, but it was not postponed for the third time, and he could barely get a middle school in the first half of the year......

***********************

In April's six minor nuclear abridgements, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry revised the calendar twice and reissued such a major event as it must be mentioned.

When the emperor first saw the abridgement of February, he felt that it was no different from the previous six Shangshu chapters, but according to his habit of strict self-discipline, since the calendar stipulated this item, even if he was the emperor, he had to read it according to the rules he had set. The problem was discovered in March, and the number of unfinished items in the month skyrocketed, resulting in four of the six Shangshu having projects in their hands overdue, and the reasons for this can be traced back to the bottom of the erroneous officials.

At the end of last year, a certain county actually submitted a target of 11,000 taels of service silver for this month, but when the calendar was issued, it became 17,000 taels. The above Zhizhou and Zhixian do not agree, I thought that the richest county is a conservative estimate, and it will definitely be able to exceed the quota, in order to report the target to look good, the amount set is slightly higher, which not only can not make up for the difference between other counties and districts, but makes the hole bigger, and it is more than 10,000 taels at once, and I am anxious to learn that the state wants to pay out of my own pocket. It's a pity that his subordinates can't cooperate at all this time, and more money means that there are more people on the books, even if the same person in charge of the household service dares to fake thousands of people to come out, when he sends out the service in the spring flood next month, he will have to hire people to work according to this number, where can he find so many strong laborers. The excess tasks are apportioned here, not to mention that the counties below do not do it, and neither do the upstream and downstream and the Water Resources Department of the Ministry of Industry. When he arrived at the prefect's office, he had reported that the target was very conservative, and the total number could be the same, but when compared with the figure reported by the prefect of the next city, the problem became a big problem - the amount of service silver collected in the land of fish and rice was not much more than that of the city that was a lake for water transportation. This kind of problem is a major situation in the Finance Department of the Ministry of Households, and we dare not fail to report it. Even if you don't want to report, it's all summarized in a chart, which is clearly visible and directly illustrates the problem.

Looking back, why did 10,000 turn into 17,000 in the first place? Because the little scribe who is responsible for entering the data in the Zhizhou Mansion is the brother-in-law of his family who does not learn and has no skills, he can only write his own name, and when he counts the statistics, let the scholars and masters who know a few words around him read and write one by one, and the master's old ears are not very good. This mistake led to a series of people from the prefect to the prefect failing the assessment for half a year.

At present, the postponement of the Ministry of Industry in April is another phenomenon, not that the matter is found out to the sixth department, and then go down to find out which link went wrong, but the newly appointed batch of officials who have passed the official examination and entered the company according to their own work guidance manual, found the problem, and submitted a report according to the practice specified above, so that Han Zhangsi can revise the calendar in time to avoid a series of evil consequences.

In the past three months, in addition to coming forward to take care of Gu Ci's three family affairs in Hubei, the prince basically only accompanied his daughter-in-law in the East Palace, ran her dowry shop, and tossed Sian Chay Hall and women's examinations. However, from the advancement of political affairs such as the official examination and the examination of the law, we can really see the quiet influence of the East Palace.

Before you know it, this son has grown up.

***********************

At this time, the prince probably can't even remember what his father's name is, where else can he care. Gu Ci has vomited a mess since March, and the secret recipes offered by several sisters-in-law are useless to her, so she can endure the nausea with spicy ginger. Xiao Lu tried to prescribe medicine, Gu Ci was reluctant to drink it, and vomited after drinking, although the Queen Mother and Yuyi felt sorry for her little face and was so thin that they didn't think it was a big deal. In April, the situation is even worse, I can't smell any oil, I eat some fruit every day. Seeing that the little girl vomited so darkly, rinsed her mouth and continued to eat, and began to vomit again like a child, he hated to have this child.

He secretly asked Yiqing about this, and when he turned his head, she knew it, and he was tearfully pulling his sleeve and crying.

"Well, it's my brother's mistake! I promise not to speak ill of her again! Don't cry! ”

"You see, I'm so uncomfortable, my health is so bad, she is still obedient in my belly, there is no problem at all, it means that she is also working hard. Brother, don't want her ......"

"No, no, no! I just feel sorry for you and don't cry, otherwise my brother will cry with you. ”

Belch?! I don't think I've ever seen him cry! Gu Ci's tears were put away, and he asked curiously, "Brother, when have you ever cried?" Mama Xie said that you don't like to cry since you were a child, and you haven't cried since you fell and were injured. ”

Since the last time Mama Xie came to send the anti-vomiting prescription, she told her some old things about Xiao Xiao's Huai Yuan Yi, and she was able to enter and leave the East Palace from time to time. Although Yuan Yi didn't like Mama Xie's own assertion before, the little girl was happy, so he didn't stop it, and only reminded Yiqing that no one should be allowed to be alone with Gu Ci, not even her maid.

“…… I've married you, where is there anything worth crying about? ”

Satisfied Gu Ci fell into his arms, "Did you say yes yes you want to know the baby's nickname?" ”

Because Gu Ci's morning sickness is really bad, and there is no sign of her stomach at all, she can't touch the acid at all, everyone thinks that this baby must be a girl. The big name naturally has to be taken by the emperor, and the small characters are left to Xiao Lu, the queen mother snatched the power to be titled, and the little name was at the insistence of the crown princess, and Gu Yao wanted to take it, but the father had no share.

"Uncle must have thought about it a lot, and he will know after the Dragon Boat Festival."

When Gu Yao learned that his daughter was pregnant, he immediately reorganized the army and asked to return to Beijing, and Lao Guan and Xia Ji followed him into Beijing to see His Majesty. The part of the Zhenbei Army went directly around the outer edge of the Hetao area and returned to Beiguan, sweeping around by the way. Chi Qiyu was ordered to come back to marry, and Mingjin, Rong Ba, Fang Liangzhi and Xia Bufan would lead the cavalry to go deep into the grassland to conduct guerrilla reconnaissance in case the Huns made a comeback, and the others stayed behind temporarily. They depart in mid-March and are expected to arrive around the Dragon Boat Festival.

"I don't know if Ye Ye likes the glass house of the Qing Yi Yuan."

"You're so good, how can you not like it." This project was carried out by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was completely in line with the design concept of 'not wasting a trace of sunshine' in Gu Ci's mind, which was called a ingenious and beautiful, how could my father-in-law not be happy.

Hearing his jealousy, Gu Ci smiled and praised, "It's all my brother's credit!" ”

Yuan Yi sighed in his heart, I'm afraid that if he repairs ten more glass houses, he won't be able to make Gu Yao kinder to him, the culprit who caused his daughter to get pregnant at a young age. But seeing that she is more energetic, she won't keep thinking about vomiting, so she quickly diverges the topic again, "When my uncle comes back, find a time to mention the revision of the literary dictionary and the matter of martial arts, when are you going to set the female subject?" "Now Yuan Yi is taking care of everything outside, and he will only ask her about such trivial things.

"Tanabata bar. The seventh sister-in-law said that she would be out of confinement and could also take the test. ”

"Qijin likes the swings and rocking chairs in the flower room very much, do you want to add something?"

"That's right! It could be an amusement park! The crown princess, who got up excitedly to draw, did not see the slightest trace of listlessness during morning sickness.

Of course, the amusement park should have slides and seesaws, as well as ladders that can be climbed up and down, why not get a basketball hoop? Merry-go-rounds can also be had!

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was in good spirits, Yuan Yi suddenly felt that half of her morning sickness was due to her panic?

The amusement park plan was killed without accident, because there were pregnant women in the palace and they couldn't break ground! Not to mention the East Palace, the Queen Mother didn't even let a small pebble be moved in the imperial garden.

Seeing that his wife was wilting again, Yuan Yi hurriedly remedied, "Let Gongqiao Pavilion make a set for Qingyi Yuan first, and then install it for the East Palace after you give birth, and it will take a while for the little things to play." Besides, can't you still take it out and sell it to make money? ”

The crown princess, who showed her smile again, finally cleared the rain and said, "Give one to each Sian Chay Hall, there are many children there." ”
