Section 51: The Abolition Forerunners

The next day, Jiang Tian habitually got up early, but he still didn't adapt to his new identity, especially last night, many girls hinted that he could recommend a pillow seat, and the eyes of these people were no longer the kind of professional flattery when receiving guests, but a kind of eagerness to be favored by the new owner. Jiang Tian had other considerations, so he was indifferent to these eyebrows. But even so, I still didn't see Xiyun in the morning. After eating breakfast and changing into a regular home clothes, Jiang Tian gathered all the people in the house in the hall, and even Xiyun and Linglong, who had been hiding, called someone to find out, these people didn't know what the new master had to order, and they all stood quietly aside and waited for the lecture.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Tian sat on a temporarily moved Taishi chair and glanced around, Linglong was still hiding behind Xinyue, only half of her body was exposed: "The big guy knows that His Majesty will reward me with the Red Mansion, and even with you, I will become a family member in this mansion." You used to be the sluts of the Teaching Workshop Division, but now you have become my Jiang Tian's servants, and after thinking about it last night, I felt that this was an opportunity for you. No one is born willing to wait, and if any of you want to get out of slavery and be an upright person, I will not stop you here, and I will give you a return deed. I won't ask about your private property, you can take it away, and if you don't have anything long, I can give you twenty taels of silver as a settlement fee. ”

When everyone heard this, they first stared at each other with big eyes, and then they started to talk in a whisper, but there were too many people discussing, so the sound sounded noisy. In fact, Jiang Tian does not have their deed of sale in his hands now, and this qiē has to wait for the Ministry of Rites to send the handover documents to the local Yamen Shuntianfu in Beijing, and then they will issue a new deed. After handing over the title deed and other things to Jiang Tian, these people really became the servants of the Jiang Mansion. After discussing for a while, people generally reached a consensus, how can there be such a good thing in the world, you can get rid of the nationality and not say that the master is still entangled? I heard that Jiang Xiucai was crazy, but I didn't expect to start going crazy so soon, otherwise there would be some unspoken conditions.

As Xinyue, who has a close relationship with Jiang Tian, she was naturally elected by everyone to negotiate, and she herself was skeptical about this kind of thing, but she did not doubt Jiang Tian's intentions: "Master, the slave and maid are not clear, but I am not serving well to anger you?" ”

The words were very tactful, but the meaning was very clear, Jiang Tian shook his head: "It's not that there is anything wrong with you, some time ago, everyone also knew that I tried my best to get rid of Xiyun's nationality, I know that no one is born willing to be a slave and a maid, but life is forced to do it, since now your stay is up to me, then I might as well return the right to choose to yourself, whether to walk between heaven and earth openly in the future, or to live here and be willing to be a subordinate, I don't force it." But there is a saying ahead, those who want to leave can do their own and never make it difficult, and I wish him a safe rest of his life. Those who want to stay are considered my hired workers, you must keep to yourself, do not use my signboard to cause trouble to your neighbors, and I will not interfere in marriage and childbirth in the future, and the salary will be tentatively set at two taels of silver per month, and then adjusted later. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Tian stood up and beckoned to Xi Yun, this girl has always been avoiding herself recently. Xi Yun knew that she couldn't dodge, so she had to twist and rub to Jiang Tian's side. Jiang Tian couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted the top of her head: "Am I so terrible?" From now on, you will be my Jiang Tian's real sister, you can live here or find another house, and I will find a family for you in a few years. ”

Xi Yun raised her head and stared at him, but she lowered her head again without saying a word, everyone could see the little girl's thoughts, but Jiang Tian didn't understand. Xinyue also sighed secretly, even she was a little jealous of Xiyun, the identities of the two sides are getting more and more different, that girl at least has a brother and sister in the name, what is she. As for the quiet sisters in the crowd who have a skin-to-skin relationship with him, they have their own plans in their hearts. Jiang Tian didn't let them make a decision right away, anyway, the new deed of sale hadn't arrived yet, and they would have to talk about it later, so Jiang Mansion had to take care of today's day, but as soon as it was noon, Song Yi rushed over in a carriage.

"I don't see Master Jiang coming to the Academy of Sciences today, and my ancestor sent students to visit the house."

"When did you become so outspoken?" Jiang Tian looked at Song Yi and felt ridiculous at his appearance: "Didn't you still come here to drink yesterday?" ”

Song Yi replied with a straight face: "Public and private should not be confused, yesterday the students came to congratulate Mr., and today they are asking when they can take office." ”

Hearing him say this, Jiang Tian felt strange: "You can be reassigned at any time within three days, why are you so anxious?" ”

According to the rules of the dynasty, officials generally have to put on full official authority when they take office, and unless there is an emergency, there is no situation where they are appointed today and take office tomorrow. Even if Jiang Tian is a traverser, he also knows these unspoken rules of officialdom, which is one of the reasons why he solved his family affairs first.

"Adults don't know......" Song Yi raised his hand and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Tian waving his hand.

"You sit down first, and then talk well, you and I don't need to be so angry!"

Song Yi thought about it, and felt that it was really unnecessary to abide by these rules with Jiang Tian, this was not to say that he looked down on an official like Jiang Tian who was fortunate to advance, but knew that the other party did not pay attention to those false courtesies, which was really very similar to the one in the Jinluan Palace, no wonder these two people were senior brothers. So he no longer followed the rules, and Shi Shiran sat down at the bottom.

"Then I'll say it bluntly, as long as there is no specified time limit in the holy decree, you can report within ten days, but if today's Emperor is very strict, how can there be so many twists and turns in the army, you must be one one, two is two, not sloppy, and you have a lot of part-time jobs this time, and you know that you have to go to the Zongren Mansion first, and then the Academy of Sciences. However, His Majesty also appointed you to develop lead type, this is a holy order, King Ji naturally will not blame, the ancestor is afraid that you don't know the key to this, so I had to come to the door. ”

It turns out that this is the case, Jiang Tianxin said that he still thought that he didn't need to keep attendance as an official in ancient times, no wonder there are always people who feel that it is difficult to be an official in Beijing, if this is a place to be released, unless there is a major event such as a disaster or rebellion, he is not a parent official who wants to sleep until what time he wants. In fact, the magistrate also has a lot of ways, but Jiang Tian doesn't know it.

"So, I'll have to trouble you to help me." So Jiang Tian explained the personnel adjustment plan announced by himself in the morning: "You also know, I originally wanted to spend these two days going to Shuntian Mansion to get back the title deed and body deed, but according to what you say, I'd better go to the Zongren Mansion tomorrow to order something, I don't know who can be entrusted with this matter?" ”

Song Yi was stunned for a long time when he heard this, thinking that you are really scared to death and do not pay for your life, the emperor gave you a servant on the front foot, and you can leave on the back foot. Not only that, but those who don't have money can get twenty taels of silver! After coming back to his senses, he asked him puzzledly: "Why is Brother Muhua like this?" ”

Unconsciously, Song Yi used back the words commensurate with his brother, but Jiang Tian muttered in a whisper as he listened: "You don't know, I looked at the roster of Yihong Mansion, there are more than 100 people of all kinds in the whole house, even if each person only gets two taels of silver per month, this month is two hundred taels, and the girls who showed up before, whether they were willing or not before, at least this food and clothing are not two taels of silver that can be sent, right?" Brother, I really don't have that much money, unless your grandfather dares me to embezzle and take bribes, how can I support them. ”

This is absolutely true, and now let them choose to stay for themselves, not only leaving a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but also saving a lot of expenses. And there is a saying in advance, the salaries of those who stay all start from two or two, if you are too little, it is better to leave now. Song Yi looked at it for a long time, but he didn't expect Jiang Tian to have such a heart, it is said that technical officials are the kind of people who are good at their profession and not good at life, why does this Jiang Tian give people the feeling that he is almost an all-round talent?

"This matter ......" Song Yi pondered for a while: "It's better for me to ask Yijian for help, and it will be easier for him to come forward from the Duke's Palace, as for Brother Muhua, it's best to bring the official clothes back this afternoon." ”

Speaking of this official uniform is also a bit interesting, because the enthronement time is too short, still use the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, but different from the previous rules, the official uniform is not only issued by the state, but also the fabric style has become a unified size, just like the later generations to buy clothes, can only buy a similar size according to the volume, not so suitable for tailor-made, if you want to make your own official uniform, as long as it does not exceed the country, it doesn't matter, but this year, the dye depends on natural ingredients, and the color of each batch of cloth will be a little different. Standing in the court, you can see at a glance that you and other people's clothes are not the same color, so it also dispels some people's thoughts.

In the new dynasty and new rules, officials should go to the yamen where they are located to receive their own clothes, and the managers can find a set of suitable clothes, and if they are damaged, they will replace them with new clothes with old clothes. But where Jiang Tian went to get the clothes became a difficult matter, whether he was in the Zongren Mansion or the Academy of Sciences, he was only an official position of the fifth grade, and the grade of the Guozijian was a little lower, but he also had the title of the prince and the young guard, and he was also ranked as the third young, and he was really the second grade, and there were no official clothes suitable for him in these yamen. So Jiang Tian had no choice but to go to the pedestrian division first.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Zhi, who was temporarily arrested, had the courage to go to ask, and asked him to go to the yamen with a child who had walked around when he saw the official errand, and this kid had been beating the drum in his legs and stomach, and saw that there were two guards at the door, so he had to come over with a smile on his face: "Two masters, my family...... My adult came to receive the official uniform, but I don't know where to get it? ”

At this time, Jiang Tian had already gotten out of the car, he looked at Zhao Zhi's flattering smile and couldn't help but laugh a little, this is also what Song Yi explained, you are also a second-grade master now, you should look a little bit when you go out, otherwise it will make those dogs look down a few points, but look at this kid's appearance, can people afford it? The two gatekeepers were also looking at Jiang Tian, there were as many officials as there were dogs in the capital, and a scholar walking on the road casually could be an editor in the Hanlin Academy, who seemed to be a rough man, or he might be a general in the capital of the five armies, so he was very knowledgeable to watch the door here. But haven't you heard that there is an extra master in the pedestrian division? Moreover, which of the young officials who came to receive the clothes was not asked by himself.

One of them asked in the spirit of caution and no mistakes: "What is the official position of your master?" But this line of people is in office? ”

Speaking of Jiang Tian's official position, Zhao Zhike came to the spirit, he didn't remember any of the long list of official titles, but he recognized the eldest prince Shaobao, who let the storyteller say that many big people have such a bluffing title, so when he heard that his master also had such a fashionable name, he didn't stand up and show off his belly.

"My lord has to take office here, but there is no suitable official clothing in the office, so I came here to ask if there are any clothes for the prince and young guard?"

Jiang Tian shook his head, where is this going, he is so swaggering, this kid's education needs to be tightened. The two guards were startled, the good guy and the Si Zheng of the Pedestrian Division are a positive seventh grade, why did you come here to find clothes as a second-grade official? But it's right to think about it again, the pedestrian division is doing this kind of errand to deliver letters, and what kind of reward is also brought over by our side, the prince Shaobao sounds very dragged, but it is just a fictitious title with no real power, and there is a certain reason to come here, and then think of the title of only one prince Shaobao recently, and the age of the young official in front of him is also right, so what do you have to say, hurry up and report it.

In this way, he didn't wait long, and the Si Zheng of the Pedestrian Division, a green-robed official who looked to be in his thirties, opened the middle door and lowered the steps to greet him: "The lower official doesn't know that the adult is driving and prays for forgiveness." ”

It looks like it is very face-giving, but there is no attitude of confession in his tone, it is also true, no matter how big Jiang Tian's grade is, he is not the boss of his pedestrian division, and being able to open the door to welcome guests is already giving great face. So Jiang Tian didn't dare to hold it up: "Your Excellency is polite, the official came to disturb your company." ”

The Si Zheng surname of the pedestrian division is Qiu, and he is also in the Kaien scientific examination after the Ming court is still in Beijing, and he should have waited for a few years in the Hanlin Academy and then released as an official, and he has a great future. After the two sides sat down, naturally someone served tea, Jiang Tian talked about the intention of this time, and saw the other party frowning.

"Dare to ask Master Jiang, who said that I have a second-grade public service here?"

"It is a friend of this official, the grandson of the old dean of the Academy of Sciences, Song Dexin said that brother, you have a backlog of second-grade public clothes and regular clothes in the past few years, so let me try my luck here."

As soon as he heard that it was Song Yi who said it, Qiu Sizheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a secret, Xiaguan and Dexin still have some friendship, if they are like this, they should send each other off." ”

There are not only second-grade public uniforms in the pedestrian division, but also python robes and jade belts. This is the first two years after Zhu Cihong returned to the capital to reward civil and military officials, among which the majority of civil officials, everyone can see that this is to cultivate the imperial party to compete with the martial arts, so during that time the pedestrian division was very busy, everywhere the official Xu Jue all kinds of official uniforms are naturally prepared, the result is that everyone knows, no matter how many civil officials can not do the knife in the hands of the generals, after the establishment of the new dynasty, all kinds of things are complicated, no one can take care of the inconspicuous place of the pedestrian division, Qiu Sizheng has always been a man with his tail between his legs, but he is half a fellow villager with the old man Song, That's when I got some friendship.

After getting the clothes, Zhao Zhi held it with both hands and looked at the small tuanhua on it, he never thought in his dream that one day he would be able to watch the official uniform so closely, and at this time an idea germinated in his heart: "Sir...... Oh no, sir! ”

Jiang Tian, who was sitting in the carriage and pretending to sleep, replied casually: "What are you doing?" ”

"I ...... I...... Otherwise, I won't learn cross talk, and I'll change it to your current person! ”

Jiang Tian opened his eyes and looked at his unnamed apprentice: "Oh? Is it better to be a person at the moment than to talk about cross talk? Think again! ”

He still hasn't said anything, his official position is easy to come by, I'm afraid it will be fast, there will be all kinds of political conflicts waiting for him in the future, and it will only hurt him to co-opt this kid who still has to serve his old mother. Putting aside this matter, the matter of Jiang Tian wanting to dismiss Yi Honglou has already spread after a day. Fortunately, he is already a legendary person himself, and it makes sense to make a little movement that others can't imagine. But this news has caused a lot of shock in the Qinglou world, except for some popular girls, how can there be a way for the sluts in the Fengyue place to rely on? Even those red girls are also taking advantage of their youth to accumulate more belongings to prevent old age, if people can open a brothel to be a mother when they are middle-aged in the future, they will change from the oppressed class to the oppressed class, and I have never heard of anyone treating these untouchables as people. Now someone has finally broken this law and openly shouted the slogan of equality of all beings, if this plan is really implemented, then no one in his Jiang Mansion is his slave, and even if he is paid to work, it is only a small job with a free status. Such courage and handwriting finally made some people believe that it is not unreasonable for him to dare to pour his face with great fanfare, if he really wants to find a faction for him, saying that it is the children of the Mo family to promote and love, and some people believe it. Jiang Tian at the center of the storm didn't have this self-awareness, he just thought that he had done a very normal layoff, but he didn't know that this incident was recorded by the world as the dawn of the overthrow of slavery and the beginning of the human liberation movement, so he was also worshipped as an idol of the people@rights organization. The Song family, the only one who knew the truth, was silent about this......

Now he has a trickier thing, the pervert who got the news rushed to Jiang's mansion in a hurry, and the first thing he said after seeing Jiang Tian was that he was willing to redeem Linglong!

Jiang Tian, who was a little crying and laughing, had no choice but to find Linglong: "Linglong girl, although you are still committed to this now, but in a few days you will be free, Brother Yijian Xian has a deep affection for you, although it is ordinary to give a handmaid, but since I said that I want to return your freedom, I will do what I say, so whether to allow Brother Liu Xian to enter the Duke's Mansion is up to you." ”

The pervert didn't expect Jiang Tian to say this, but after thinking about it, he was indeed too late, but who knew that this fool would let go of these flowers and butterflies! It seems that you have to go out to fight for the beauty by yourself: "Good girl, think about it, since you came to this Yihong Mansion, I have forced you to give you half a point, and I am ...... in the Duke's Palace."

Linglong still looked as cold as ice, indifferent to Liu Baokai's sweet words, and waited for the pervert to say that his mouth was dry, and then he gently raised his head and looked at Jiang Tian: "Since the master said that he would return my freedom and never interfere with my decision, can I talk to Liu Gongzi alone?" ”
