On April 18, he was officially inaugurated as the head of the household.

The household yamen and the ritual department yamen live next to each other, the right side is the official department yamen, but there is a sandwich road between the household department yamen and the ministry yamen, and the sandwich road can lead to the central yamen such as the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, the Tai Hospital and the Qintianjian behind.

Due to Lin Haoran's arrival today, Ma Sen, the left attendant of the household department, and Huang Yangmeng, the right attendant of the household department, were already waiting in front of the yamen, waiting for the arrival of the new Shangshu.

In addition to the left and right servants, the household department consists of thirteen divisions, which belong to Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan thirteen divisions.

Each division has one person in the Lang, and the rank is five products; There is one person outside the staff, and the rank is from the fifth grade; There are two principals, and the rank is six. In addition, there are also functions such as the Shomo Institute, the Guangji Warehouse, the Internal and External Carrier Warehouse, and the Military Storage Warehouse. Similar to the six subjects of the government, the responsibilities of each department can be divided into four sections: civil, degree, gold, and warehouse.

Civil science, in charge of the province, state, county geography, people, maps, ancient and modern evolution, mountains and rivers are dangerous and easy, the land is fertile, wide and narrow, the number of household registration, and the number of products and consumption; The degree branch is in charge of accounting for summer tax, autumn grain storage and transportation, reward and rank; Jinke, in charge of the collection and discount of the city's shipping, fish, salt, tea, banknote taxes and penalties; The warehouse department is in charge of transportation, military reserves, and cashiers.

It is precisely because of the large number of affairs that the number of officials in the household department has reached 300, but it is the yamen with the largest number of personnel in the six departments, and all these people are waiting here.

"It's coming!"

When Lin Haoran's honor guard appeared, an errand came back from the entrance of the alley to greet the two attendants, and the officials also became excited.

Unlike the inauguration of the prefect, the inauguration ceremony of the Beijing official has always been simple.

Although Lin Haoran's honor guard erected a pair of flags that brightened the blind eye, they did not sound gongs and drums, and they seemed to take a sedan chair to take up their posts in a very low-key manner.

Soon, the eight-carried sedan chair came to the front of the household yamen, and after slowly landing on the ground, Lin Haoran, who was wearing a brand-new scarlet official uniform, walked out of the sedan chair.

The complement of the third-grade civil official is a peacock, and the complement of the second-grade civil official is a golden chicken, which stands on the bluestone golden chicken is particularly majestic.

"Xiaguan Gonghou Zhengtang has taken office!"

Ma Sen, the left attendant of the household department, and Huang Yangmeng, the right attendant of the household department, are both Fujianese, Ma Sen's body is thin, and Huang Yangmeng's body is short and fat, and he also led the officials to bow down respectfully.

Lin Haoran looked at the black pressure of a large number of officials in front of him, and there were many familiar figures among them. There are not only his friends Yang Futian in the same year, but also Meng Zhao, a student who has just joined the household department, and Hai Rui, a fellow villager in Guangdong.

This is the case in officialdom, where the relationship between officials is inextricably linked, especially the relationship between teachers and students, the same year and fellow villagers, so that there is almost nothing to hide between officials.

"Ma Shilang, Huang Shilang, please get up! Rise up, everybody! Lin Haoran stepped forward and first gave a cordial support to the two waiters, and then said lightly to the officials.

After the officials thanked them respectfully, they also stood up from the ground one after another, but the eyes of most of the officials looked at Lin Haoran with a complicated look, including Hai Rui, the director of the Yunnan Division.

"Lord Zhengtang, the yamen has been cleaned, please move to office!" Ma Sen was nearly sixty years old, his face looked pretty and thin, and he was quite official, and said softly to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran nodded lightly, looked up at the door of the household, and walked directly into the cleanly cleaned household yamen.

The area occupied by the household yamen is the same as that of the Ministry of Rites and the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, but the façade is more magnificent, and the inside is often repaired, and the green bricks in the courtyard appear smooth and clean.

After all, it is the yamen that is in charge of the world's money and grain, but it is impossible to treat itself too badly, even if there is a tradition of "officials do not repair the yamen", but it is also necessary to regularly renovate some of them.

Lin Haoran walked through the main courtyard and went straight to the main hall to worship the seal of the main hall. This is the seal of the Ministry of Households, the only one in the entire Ministry of Households, and all official documents of the Ministry of Households must be stamped with this seal before they can officially take effect.

As Lin Haoran sat down in the hall, all the officials stepped forward to pay their respects in turn, and they took the initiative to report their official positions and names.

There are only four divisions in the Ministry of Rites, but there are thirteen divisions in the Ministry of Households, which is the yamen with the most department-level officials in the six departments, so that Lin Haoran was unable to write them all down at once.

It's just that he probably has some guesses, because the household department also adheres to the principle of appointing officials in different places, usually the southerners are in charge of the northern province and the northerners are in charge of the southern province, but there are rules to follow. In addition, Yang Futian, Meng Zhao and Hai Rui are all acquaintances, and it takes a few days to remember them all.

After all the officials bowed to Lin Hao one by one, they quietly returned to their positions, quietly waiting for the words of this new Shangshu who had already become famous all over the world.

Lin Haoran looked at the officials in front of him and knew that the household department was different from the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is mainly for the imperial examination, education and reception of foreign guests, etc., which is a relatively pragmatic work, and many things can be done step by step, so a good person like Li Chunfang can manage the Ministry of Rites well.

On the other hand, the household department is in charge of the money and grain of the Ming court, and has direct business contacts with the thirteen provinces. Not only do we need more flexible means, but we also need huge sums of money, but we need more iron-fisted means to govern the household well. If you want to do more, then you need an iron fist.

Lin Haoran's face was slightly straight, and he said to the officials present: "Ben Zhengtang has just arrived, although he is not familiar with the affairs of the household department, but Ben Zhengtang wants to make three chapters with you first. Thou shalt obey it, and this move can be regarded as a salute before a soldier! ”

Since the right attendant of the household department is resident in Tongzhou and serves as the governor of the warehouse management, and the left attendant of the household department will often go to the nine sides to supervise the military salary, so the household department no longer has a clear division of labor between the left and right attendants, and it is usually the household department Shangshu who is in charge of everything.

The officials had already heard about Lin Haoran's official style, and now they had learned this iron-faced hall at close range, and they also secretly pinched a handful of sweat, and responded in unison: "Please give instructions to the main hall, and the officials will obey it!" ”

Lin Haoran nodded lightly, and said seriously: "I have heard that there are officials who are often absent, and no matter how casual they were in the past, this official will not be held accountable." However, from the date of the main hall to take office, the daily point must not be absent without reason, and those who return to Beijing from abroad will come to the headquarters to report the next day after returning to Beijing at the latest, and those who exceed will be punished according to the custom of Taizu! ”

Many officials in the hall heard Lin Haoran grasp the attendance, and their hearts suddenly secretly complained.

They have a lot of affairs in the household department, and they need a strong professionalism, so many officials actually go to the household department to mess around, and absenteeism abounds. Many officials who have returned to Beijing from other places have been away for a long time, and they have to reunite with their families for a few days before they come to report slowly.

In the face of such a strict new main hall, the officials also obediently responded: "The lower officials must follow the instructions of the main hall!" ”

Lin Haoran saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and continued selflessly: "The household department is in charge of the money and grain affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and each department is responsible for a province, and the affairs are extremely complicated, and those who are not servants cannot do it!" Today's thirteen divisions must be fully focused on affairs, today's things are finished today, late is late, and the beginning of chaos is also. In the future, the main hall will set a time limit, and if the deadline is not decided, the demerit will be demerited, and the demerit will be demerited...... For dereliction of duty! ”

This...... Lang Zhong is derelict in his duties?

When the officials heard this, when they felt Lin Haoran's iron bowl, they also looked at the thirteen Lang Zhong with secret pity. But he never expected that Lin Haoran's first axe slashed at the thirteen Langzhong.

Tobu Langzhong was regarded as a high-ranking official in the capital, although he could not directly ignore the governor like the Ministry of Officials Examination Gong Shilangzhong and Wenxuan Shilangzhong, but they were able to restrain the officials who governed the province and the prefecture and county level.

However, they met Lin Haoran today, and a chopping knife was hung around his neck.

Lin Haoran is now in the household department, and it is a sure thing to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, and the cabinet has the support of Wu Shan, the second assistant of the current dynasty. Once he really wants to transfer a certain Langzhong, it's actually a matter of one sentence.

No matter how the parties fight, it is impossible to fight again for a pawn, especially Xu Jie, who has already stated that the government affairs will be returned to the ministers. In the past, he could get by under Yan Ne's hands, but now he is likely to be released.

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys the instructions of Lord Zhengtang!" The thirteen Lang were secretly complaining in the center, but in the face of this new main hall known as the name of innovation, they also responded helplessly.

In fact, they also understood that Lin Haoran put pressure on their thirteen Langzhong, and if they wanted to keep their position, then they had to put pressure on the lower parts accordingly.

Lin Haoran saw that the attitude of the thirteen Langzhong was quite correct, so he instructed again: "If you can't stand the poor, you can't stand it." In the future, the dine-in of the household department shall not open a small stove, from the headquarters to the hall, all eat together in the same hall, and be managed by a special person! ”

This......

Originally, the staff and the chief who had nothing to do with themselves secretly complained that the food in the household department was famously good, and their officials were even better. It's just that Lin Haoran actually pointed here, and directly canceled their right to eat Xiaozao.

Hey?

The officials below were quite surprised, and couldn't help but have some good feelings about this new Shangshu.

Although they did not complain about the food of the household department, looking at the gap with those officials, it was inevitable that there would be a psychological gap in their hearts. In particular, these officials are quite laymen in the accounts of the household department, but it is these officials who really do the work, and now the food can be at a high level, but it makes them feel some balance in their hearts.

When Hai Jui heard the three chapters of the covenant, he also re-examined this high-ranking fellow countryman.

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys the instructions of Lord Zhengtang!" All the officials saluted together, and in the face of such a strong new main hall, they could only reluctantly accept this arrangement.

is the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, and now Lin Haoran is the secretary of the household department, so everything is naturally up to him.

After following the officials to say all this, they dispersed, and he began to familiarize himself with the new environment here.

Behind the main hall of the household is the second hall, where the place of the point is located, and on both sides is the place where the officials of the main hall do things. Behind is a courtyard where the signing room and the fire room are located.

The signing room was only slightly larger than the previous one, but further in was a room with four bookshelves. Books and dossiers are stacked on it, and there is an arhat bed, which can be used for work and rest or leisure.

There is also a small door, and a delicate carved bed is placed on the east wall, and the wardrobe and toiletries next to it are complete, just like your own bedroom.

With the improvement of the place, the treatment has been the same, which is why everyone is sharpening their heads and doing everything possible to drill up.

"Only the sincerity of the world can defeat the hypocrisy of the world; Only the clumsiness of the world can win the ingenuity of the world. Lin Haoran hung a warning word on the signing room, which started his career in charge of the household department.

This April, the 44th year of Jiajing, already seems to be very unpeaceful.

With Lin Haoran and Gao Gong leaving the Ministry of Rites, the Cichen system ushered in a major adjustment.

Taichang Siqing and Guozi Priest Wine Gao Yi was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Yiqin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was directly promoted to the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Pan Cheng, the priest of Nanjing Guozi, was reappointed as the secretary of Dachang Temple and the priest of Guozi, and the right Zanshan and Hanlin Review Yin Shidan was promoted to the Hanlin Waiter.

However, in this adjustment, Hu Zhengmeng, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, Yuwang's teacher, who was expected to go further, died suddenly, and the deputy examiner of Jiajing's 44 years passed away.

But I don't know if Zhang Juzheng's life is too good, or Chen Jinliu's years are unfavorable, originally he also had the opportunity to go further, but because of his father's funeral, he had to return to his hometown to guard the system.

Chen Jin is the champion of Jiajing for 32 years, and he has Xu Jie's teacher, which can be described as a bright future. It was only in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing that he was ordered to leave Beijing to canonize the feudal government, but due to illness, he overdue, and was let go of Huizhou as an official.

In the following year, due to his outstanding achievements in governing the local government, he was promoted to Nanjing Taifu Temple Cheng by Xu Jie, and soon changed to Shangbao Sicheng, and transferred to Nanjing Guozijian Si Ye, and now moved to the right Chunfang Zhongyun and Hanlin attendant.

It is under Xu Jie's careful cultivation that although Chen Jin has had the twists and turns of being released, he is now catching up, and he is completely able to get the position of a bachelor in Hanlin this time.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, Chen Jin wanted to return to his hometown to guard the system for three years because of his father's funeral, but he missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was already lagging behind Zhang Juzheng and others.

On the other hand, due to Hu Song's appointment as the secretary of the ministry, and Xu Jie's stable position as the first assistant, Xu Jie's liquidation of the remnants of the Yan Party quietly began.

Zhu Heng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, was "promoted" to the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, Wan Yukai, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was transferred to the right attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and even Hu Huang Yangmeng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Households, was also impeached.

In addition, the officials of the Criminal Department, headed by Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, went to the imperial court and asked to be transferred to the Criminal Department to Ouyang Yijing in the matter.

It is in the midst of this chaos that May has quietly arrived, and it is also ushered in the first heavy rainstorm of May, which is frantically washing the houses and blue brick streets of the capital.
