In the Ming Dynasty, there were 300 scholars in the imperial examination, of which three people were admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and more than a dozen to dozens of people were selected from the other hall to be Shujishi, and the rest would be elected officials.

The best place to go is naturally to directly enter the six departments and the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and then enter the six departments to do the main work, but most of these places are second-class jinshi.

The worst of the top three jinshi was stuffed into the personnel division, that is, it was expanded because the jinshi had no place to go, hundreds of people...... Non-jinshi are not allowed to enter.

And the best way out for the top three jinshi is for Ren Zhixian to make political achievements, which is divided into two roads.

Like Nie Bao, he successively served as the prefect of Huating County, the prefect of Suzhou, and the prefect of Pingyang, and then was transferred to Beijing.

The second is to only be a magistrate, and with his political achievements, he was immediately transferred back to the capital to enter the six departments for the matter, or into the capital for the imperial history.

Although the middle of the matter and the imperial history are both science and road officials, there is also a difference, and it is possible for the imperial history to go out to patrol the place, and once there is an incident, it will be promoted and used immediately...... Wang Minying and Wu Baipeng are examples, they were all promoted to the governor of Zhejiang from the patrol of the seventh grade.

And the next one is likely to be Wang Bengu, he is a twenty-three years of Jiajing Jinshi, was appointed as Le'an Zhi County, and was immediately elected to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the first class of the evaluation at the end of his term, and has successively patrolled Shaanxi, Sichuan, and now he is about to be appointed as the Zhejiang Patrol, and the Cotai Avenue is at his feet.

Therefore, such as Wu Shilai, Zhang Juzheng, and Dong Chuance can understand the trace of arrogance under Wang Bengumune's appearance.

Dong Chuance is a second-class jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing, the director of the penal department, and he has not moved his nest for six years now; Wu Shilai was a third-class jinshi in the same year, awarded the official of Songjiang Mansion, and transferred back to Beijing to serve as a criminal officer, and the two looked at Wang Bengu with envy in their eyes.

And Zhang Juzheng is different, he and these three are not on the same road, relatively peaceful, but there is a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

Although he almost tore his face with Qian Yuan, Zhang Juzheng trusted Qian Yuan's eyesight very much...... Not to mention the others, there are so many scholars in Suiyuan, almost all of them have won the Jinshi, and they are in the top four.

Three days ago, Zhang Juzheng took Wang Bengu to visit Suiyuan, and he was keenly aware that although Qian Yuan had a smile on his face, he seemed to know everything and said everything, but in fact he was very repulsive to Wang Bengu.

"Guys, I'm sorry to be late." It was Xu Fan who entered the door, "Today is a congratulatory brother for the people, all of them belong to the younger brother." ”

"Lu Qing, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't dare to choose the Qian Family Restaurant." Dong Chuance said with a smile: "Today's meal is enough for five meals in other places!" ”

Lu Qing is Xu Fan's word, when he heard this, his face was a little stiff, his son-in-law had been in Beijing for a while, and he hadn't visited Xu's Mansion until now, and he asked for a pot a few days ago, but he didn't give it!

If it weren't for the fact that the Qian Family Restaurant was unique in the capital, and he didn't have to pay money, Xu Fan really didn't want to choose here!

"Zhan is the Tao Zhu Gong of the world." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "Zhongxuan Gong once said that the exhibition of talents is enough for the plan, and in this dynasty, it is the great Si Nong. ”

"Those who serve as the chief farmers must be as honest as water, with clean sleeves and a clean breeze, without taking a penny, and having no money to spare." Wang Bengu shook his head, "I went to Suiyuan that day, Qian Zhancai was born in a family, and he was ...... luxury every day."

"What I'm saying is that he is a household secretary, maybe he will move all the silver in Taicang to his own treasury!" Xu Fan immediately smiled and was relieved...... He is this kind of person, whether it is talent or strategy, the city government cannot be compared with Yan Shifan at all.

Zhang Juzheng didn't take over the conversation, only listened to Wu Shilai and Xu Fan's laughter, Dong Chuance is from Huating after all, and he has an incense relationship with Qian Yuan, while Wang Bengu thinks very highly of himself and disdains the words behind his back.

The soup in the hot pot gradually boiled, and everyone began to pick and choose the ones they liked to put into the pot, Zhang Juzheng was a little distracted, and he remembered for no reason that he and Qian Yuan had discussed similar topics in Hangzhou four years ago.

Both of them agreed that today's Ming Dynasty is full of holes, and to clean it up, finance is the most critical link.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng took out the copy of "On the Political Sparseness of the Times", which he thought he was proud of, which was written in finance, "Heaven and earth produce wealth, have their own fixed numbers, take them in a system, use them sparingly, and they will be rich; If you don't take it and use it sparingly, you will be lacking. ”

It was this passage that was refuted by Qian Yuan mercilessly, laying out the facts and reasoning, and in the end Zhang Juzheng had no power to fight back, he has been thinking about this issue all these years, so he does not agree with Wang Bengu's view of insisting on the ban on the sea.

"Yesterday, I was sent to the cabinet, and I accompanied my father into Xiyuan in the morning to take a look, and I should have sent it to the celebrant for approval." Xu Fan said with a big grin: "Hangzhou is a good place, when the chaos subsides, I still want to go south." ”

"When the time comes, the brothers will naturally do their best to be landlords." Wu Shilai said with a smile: "The gardens of Hangzhou City are no worse than those of Suzhou and Yangzhou, and it is said that Qian Zhancai's food garden is exquisite. ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Juzheng, who hesitated and nodded.

After all, Dong Chuance is from Songjiang, and he is well-informed in this regard, and said with a smile: "I heard that the garden was forcibly occupied by Qian Zhancai, and it seems to be a maritime ......."

"What nonsense." Wang Bengu snorted, "Before I leave, I'll go to Suiyuan again, and let him let the garden in Hangzhou out." ”

Zhang Ju closed his newly opened mouth expressionlessly, the more he looked at Wang Bengu, the more unpleasant he became, and he was not familiar with this person at all, it was Xu Shi who introduced him to the middleman and asked him to take him to Suiyuan.

Wang Bengu didn't count it in his heart, but Zhang Ju really understood people, and really thought that he went to Suiyuan to ask about the things in the southeast?

That's to take you to Qian Zhancai to see...... Let's see if you're qualified!

Last year's Hu Zongxian and this year's Wu Baipeng have really proved that Qian Yuan has a huge influence on His Majesty in the southeast war, not to mention that he has too deep roots in the southeast, and many civil and military officials have good friends.

Not to mention the rest, if he hadn't befriended Qian Yuan, the previous governor of Zhejiang would not have been able to keep Wu Baipeng's position, let alone be promoted to governor of Zhejiang.

In fact, regarding the candidate for the Zhejiang governor, Yan Song has given up, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, is a strict party, and the governor of Zhejiang has not fallen into the hands of Xu Jie, even if it is for the sake of power checks and balances, this patrol should be handed over to Xu Jie.

Therefore, Xu Jie asked Zhang Juzheng to take Wang Bengu to cross the road, but it was a pity that he ...... Qian Yuan really felt a pity, and originally wanted to leave Beijing to go to Xufu, but now he ...... It's almost a tear in the face.

Anyone can do it, but it must not be Wang Bengu!

The hot pot was eaten for nearly an hour before it ended, Xu Fan called Xiao Er to prepare to hang the account, at this time, a subordinate of Xu's house hurried in, looking nervous, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Xu Fan asked casually: "Can the official document be served?" ”

"Down." The subordinate shrank back, "Yes...... It's ......"

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Wang Bengu, who was frozen there, his mind turned sharply, and he squinted and asked, "It can't be Qian Zhancai, right?" ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Juzheng sighed: "It's really Qian Zhancai!" ”

Although they broke up, Zhang Juzheng knew very well that his former friend was by no means a person who was willing to spend time in the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't expect that he would abandon Shu Jishi and transfer to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Why?

Is this necessary?

A series of questions rolled in Zhang Juzheng's mind, and one by one answers emerged in his heart, and they were rejected by him one by one.

In the end, Zhang Juzheng's eyes fell on Wang Bengu, perhaps, he was the reason.

"Ladies and gentlemen, seventy-six taels and five cents, and if you wipe the odds, it will be seventy-six taels." Xiao Er took the abacus and nodded.

The next moment, Xu Fan kicked the stool at his feet, and impartially, the stool smashed right on the bent head of the little two.
