As the saying goes, if you don't go to Chang'an, you don't know if the official is small.

There is also a joke about a horse-drawn carriage that went out of control on Suzaku Street one day and knocked over ten pedestrians along the way, eight of them were Rokupin, and the other two were Asahira. (Note: Asahirao, Zheng Liupin)

However, although there are as many Liupin officials in Chang'an City as there are carp crossing the river, the status of the Liupin in some key departments is not the same as that of the Liupin elsewhere.

Recently, Zhang Jiuling has just been promoted to such a positive sixth product, a member of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, as soon as he appeared at the gate of Zhang's house, the effect was immediate. Cui Mou, a Xu official who has been begging for a living in the surrounding counties of Gyeonggi for a long time, knows that this person cannot be provoked just from the color of his robe and the standard of his belt. Seeing the color and style of the silk silk sleeve held by Zhang Jiuling in his hand, as well as the scale of the entourage following Zhang Jiuling, he decisively kowtowed and admitted his mistake and fled.

"The foolish brother entrusted the blessing of Zhao this time, and he was promoted to the ministry as a foreigner. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I took the initiative to ask for help and sent the holy decree of the Holy Reward Yongzhao! After seeing Zhang Qian's face, Zhang Jiuling didn't go around the corner, and directly untied the silk silk on the silk shaft sleeve with both hands, and carefully took out a dark yellow silk scroll from it.

"Brother Zishou......" Rao is heart had vaguely guessed that this person was here for the results of the alcohol disinfection test, Zhang Qian was still shocked, looking Zhang Jiuling up and down with his eyes, not knowing what to say, let alone what to do?

What is called brother, this is it! It is not righteous to stick a knife in the ribs of a brother, but it is ...... to swing a knife for a brother

"Why, Brother Yongzhao didn't expect the imperial court to issue a reward so soon?" Seeing that Zhang Qian's heart was furious, Zhang Jiuling frowned and asked in a low voice. "Or I didn't expect that it was for my brother to declare the decree for the saint?"

"No, I didn't expect that? I didn't expect it! Zhang Qian woke up like a dream, withdrew his gaze from Zhang Jiuling, and then looked left and right, still not knowing how to answer the order.

Fortunately, he also has two clever juniors by his side. Finding that the senior brother was acting wrong, Guo Nu decisively opened his throat and cheered loudly beside him, "Grass people Guo Nu, for Senior Brother Zhang Qian, thank Shengshang Longen." ”

"Senior brother is already so grateful that he can't speak, don't blame the heavenly official!" Ren Cong's reaction was not slow, he put away the envy on his face, and followed closely behind Guo Nu. (Note: When Empress Wu was in power, he once changed the Ministry of Officials to Heavenly Officials.) ）

While saying this, the two brothers quickly brought over a low table and acted as an incense case. Then the incense burner was set up and the three pillars of incense were lit. Immediately after, another person grabbed one of Zhang Qian's arms, like a puppet, and pulled him behind the incense case, "Senior brother, senior brother, hurry up and thank the emperor!" Kneel, just like you usually kneel and sit, straighten your body, don't be so hard......"

"There are no outsiders around, forget it!" Seeing this chaotic scene, Zhang Jiuling instantly remembered the embarrassment when he was first appointed as an official, and a warmth involuntarily surged in his heart, smiled, and nodded lightly.

"Thank you, Holy Ron!" Guo Nu and Ren Cong thanked each other in unison, then stood up again and saluted Zhang Jiuling, "Thank you Tianguan!" Tianguan has worked hard, please sit down and have tea. ”

"Well, don't worry, wait until your senior brother receives the holy decree!" Zhang Jiuling shook his head with a smile again, and then slowly unfolded the holy decree, "Forget it, I won't read it, Yongzhao, you can see it yourself." ”

"Look, I'll watch, I'll watch now!" Zhang Qian raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to calm himself. Then he took the decree with both hands and held it in front of his eyes.

However, his gaze did not fall on the holy decree, he quickly looked around, and asked tentatively: "Brother Zishou, aren't all the holy decrees conveyed by eunuchs?" I remember you ...... a few days ago."

"You still want the eunuch to come and deliver the decree, you have to die beautifully!" In an instant, Zhang Jiuling understood why the other party was stunned just now, not because he was overjoyed, but because he was wondering if he had entered the palace. was so angry that he bypassed the incense case and punched him, "Zhang Yongzhao, I thought that you had just arrived, and I was afraid that you would be picked on by someone if you didn't understand the rules, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to announce the decree." You, it's just that you don't appreciate me, and you ......"

"Brother Zishou, don't be angry, don't be angry, I don't understand, I really don't understand!" The stone in Zhang Qian's heart finally fell to the ground. Relying on his strong ability to resist blows, he carried Zhang Jiuling a few punches with a strong and practical chest, and then bowed down and apologized, "I just heard that the holy decrees are ......all passed on by eunuchs."

"That's a feudal duke, a feudal marquis, a genuine canonization. You are a mere eight-grade ordnance supervisor and give you a decree, which is cheaper for you. I also want the eunuch to pass the decree! Kill you! Zhang Jiuling was so angry that his beard jumped up and down, but he knew that Zhang Qian was not joking with himself on purpose. He punched him a few more times, and turned his body to pant heavily.

"Tianguan, Tianguan, my senior brother doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand. He couldn't even tell whether the workshop clerk was an official or an official! ”

"Heavenly official, Qin law, twenty-level knighthood system. My senior brother has just come out of the mountains, and he can't figure out the rules of Datang at all! ”

It was Guo Nu and Ren Cong who took the initiative to "wipe their butts" for their senior brothers, and finally explained why Zhang Qian was so disgraced and rude before.

And Zhang Qian himself was so ashamed that his face turned red. Hurriedly holding the holy decree, he waved towards Zhang Jiuling again and again. "Zishou, Brother Zishou forgives, the little brother didn't mean to make a joke about you. The younger brother really doesn't understand. Senior Brother Ren, go, hurry up and put the freshly burned chrysanthemum white, load two large wooden barrels for Brother Zishou, and send him to the house in a carriage. ”

"Four barrels, plus twenty Rokushin Flower Dew!" Zhang Jiuling glared at Zhang Qian, and decided to knock the other party hard to relieve his anger, "For my brother, I will have a banquet for my colleagues on another day to celebrate the bitterness." How do you drink two barrels? ”

"Six barrels, six barrels of chrysanthemum white, plus fifty six god flower dew!" Zhang Qian felt ashamed in his heart, and at the same time grateful that the other party could take the initiative to come to deliver the message, so as to avoid his own embarrassment, and decisively increase the number of gifts.

Seeing that he knew his mistakes and could change them, Zhang Jiuling's face finally looked better. Rolled his eyelids and whispered, "It's me today, it's someone else, and you suspect that you will serve the saint from the palace, and I will definitely fight with you!" ”

"Brother Zishou has a lot, don't be like the little brother! Don't be like the little brother! Zhang Qian's attitude of admitting his mistake was excellent, so he just continued to bow down.

Alas, they were all killed by TV dramas! I always thought that it must be a eunuch who carried the message. At the same time, Zhang is also stupid, with the medical level of Datang, if Zhang Jiuling wields a knife from the palace, he will have to raise it for more than a month to walk around the ground, how can he come out of the palace so quickly to deliver the decree? !

"Forget it, I guess you can't read the content of the holy decree, so let's bring it to the foolish brother!" Just as Zhang Qian was secretly repenting in his heart, Zhang Jiuling had completely lost his breath, grabbed the holy decree from his hand again, slowly unfolded it on the incense case, and patiently interpreted it to him. "In the Tang Dynasty, the three grades or more are canonized, the three grades below are from the fifth grade to the system, and the six and seven grades are usually conferred, which are recommended by the Ministry of Officials, reviewed by the Shangshu Province, and then handed over to the Holy Seal for use. For the eighth and ninth grades, the officials will directly draft the officials, and then fill in the holy decree in a unified format......"

Understood, understood, Zhang Qian nodded like a fool.

The decree had been written long ago and stamped with the emperor's seal, but the name was vacant. The officials will see who is qualified, and fill in their names. In fact, Li Xian, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, may not even know whether there is such a courtier under his subordinates.

"The Holy God has all the opportunities, but he attaches great importance to alcohol and the art of alcohol disinfection!" Zhang Jiuling is so smart, as soon as he saw Zhang Qian's expression, he guessed what he was thinking in his heart. Hurriedly smiled and comforted in a low voice, "Dao Gong and Brother Fool are all because they have personally verified the efficacy of the disinfection technique, so they have come to the bitter end. He was promoted to the rank of squire of the Ministry of Works, while the foolish brother entered the Ministry of Officials. As for the use of Zhao's name and merits, the saint has also mentioned it many times, but it is only because you have never been out of office before, and it is inconvenient to rise too high all of a sudden, so it was first handed over to the Ministry of Officials to arrange for the Ordnance Superintendent to be a master of the eighth grade! ”

"Oh......" Zhang Qian continued to realize suddenly, "I see, eight products are eight products." Brother Zishou, the eighth rank official, can you not go to hard labor?! ”

"The five prisons and nine temples stand side by side with the three provinces and six departments, and they directly obey the orders of the saints. A mere indecent official, dare to bully you to the head of your dignified eight-grade master book after eating a leopard?! Zhang Jiuling was so angry that he put down the holy decree and rolled his eyes at him. Not only are you exempt from all taxes and servitude, but you are also exempt from paying taxes on the four males of your family. In addition to the Yulu, there are also eight hectares of land transferred to your name, but only according to each mu of land, you will be converted into two buckets of millet per year. Also, the court thinks that you are erudite and talented, and you are from a clean background, and you have been given the dismissal of a military cavalry captain, and the fourth sentence of the holy decree is about this matter. That is to say, in addition to the eight-rank official's salary, you can also receive another seventh-rank martial arts position, if there is a vacancy in the seventh-rank martial arts in the future, you can give priority to filling it! (Note: The five prisons and nine temples were functional departments directly under the central government in ancient times.) Mainly responsible for astronomy, education, justice and technology)

"Thank you, Holy Lord, thank you to all the officials of the Ministry of Officials!" As long as he was not bullied for the time being, Zhang Qian was very content, stood up, and pretended to bow his hand in the direction of the palace.

"Okay, stop acting, there are no outsiders here, who are you doing drama for?!" Zhang Jiuling rolled his eyes again, and pouted disdainfully, "The official documents and seals are all on horseback, and you will send someone to bring them in later." The appearance of the official robe shows that it is also placed with the official certificate. You go to the tailor yourself and make a tailor, and then report to the Ordnance Superintendent. By the way, you, the master bookkeeper, are directly responsible for the Ordnance Supervision and Gunpowder Administration. The department is a newly established department of the Ordnance Superintendent, and as a matter of convention, you can also recommend two Jiupin Superintendents to help. But no matter who they recommend, they must also perform their duties before the end of this month, otherwise, they will be regarded as contemptuous of the imperial court and will never be hired in the future! ”

"Thank you, Holy Ron!" Before Zhang Qian could figure out what he should do, Guo Nu and Ren Cong had already jumped up and made a move in the direction of the palace instead of him.

Jiupin Supervisor is a sesame official, and compared to the thorn history that the brothers wanted to buy before, it is not known how many times lower. But the Jiupin superintendent is really lacking, and the thorn history that I wanted to buy before, I want to make up for the real shortage, I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

In addition, the Jiupin supervisor is still a real shortage among the Beijing officials, and his rank is equivalent to that of the local county lieutenant. Even if ordinary people pass the Ming Jing and Ming Calculation exams, they may not be able to make up for it. And his own senior brother is responsible for promoting talents for the country, in addition to recommending the two of them, who else can it be their turn?!

"You two, don't be busy rejoicing just yet!" Very dissatisfied with Guo Nu and Ren Cong's escape, Zhang Qian frowned and scolded in a low voice. Immediately, he quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Jiuling, "Brother Zishou, please allow me to say one more word." Isn't alcohol disinfection used to treat injuries? How was it boiled down to gunpowder? ”

"Let you go to the Imperial Doctor's Department and follow a group of old men to memorize prescriptions all day long, are you willing?" Zhang Jiuling rolled his eyelids for the third time and responded angrily, "Also, what else can alcohol be used for besides disinfecting wounds, don't you have a number in your heart?" ”

"You, you mean, set fire?" Once again, I was stunned by the wisdom of the ancients. After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Qian asked tentatively.

"You really don't know? This alcohol is your Qin Mo's mastery! Zhang Jiuling frowned and looked at him, on his face, which was no longer too young, the word "doubt" was clearly written, "Or do you deliberately not want to say the power of this thing?" A few days ago, Liu Langzhong from the Imperial Medical Department, according to what you said, used alcohol to wash the wounds of animals, and accidentally used too much. Then, because it was getting late, I lit a candle. Immediately, the entire livestock shed was lifted into the sky. A sheep and two dogs were killed on the spot, and dozens of chickens and ducks were lost. Liu Langzhong himself is still lying in bed, and it is a question of whether he can even get up again in the second half of his life! ”
