He Heng also dreamed of becoming an official, but when he heard that it was a lack of cabinet, he hesitated.

Although the Qing Dynasty inherited the vote system of the former Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was a "Qingshui Yamen" that was like a fake. In particular, after the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department in the Yongzheng Dynasty, the cabinet only handled routine affairs, and all confidential affairs were handled by the Military Aircraft Department.

The cabinet book sounds good, but in fact, it is a transcription of the scribe, who wants oil and water without oil and water, and has no future!

Ji Yunfei knew that he was unwilling and didn't want to be embarrassed, so he sat down and said with a smile: "Junjie, I just stopped by to ask, and it's nothing if I don't want to take the test." ”

Han Xiufeng felt that this was an opportunity, and couldn't help but remind: "Junjie, now is not as good as in the early years, the number of people in each province is huge, and it doesn't say whether it can be picked up next year, even if it can be picked up, it can only be registered as a county or teacher, and then wait for the vacancy, I heard Director Zhang say that many people have to wait for more than ten or even twenty or thirty years to fill the vacancy." ”

Although Ji Yunfei also thought so, he still raised his head and said, "Zhixing, what are you talking about, Junjie still has to take the exam next year." ”

He Heng is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, how can he not know their good intentions, hesitated for a while and said with a little embarrassment: "Master Ji, Zhixing, as far as I know, the selected candidates are divided into two classes, the first class is used by the county, and the second class is selected by the teaching position. In addition to the county, the first-class person has a number of ways out, which can be borrowed to make up for the lack of state tong, state judgment, county experience, salt reservoir ambassador, river worker, etc. ”

Ji Yunfei didn't expect him to have this idea, and asked in surprise: "To be a miscellaneous official?" ”

"I mean ...... last resort"

"Then it's better to take the cabinet exam!"

"But ......"

"But what, are you worried that you have no future?" Ji Yunfei put down the tea bowl, looked at him with a smile and explained: "The cabinet secretary is not as unbearable as you think, and it is more promising than being a cabinet secretary of Zuo Er's miscellaneous positions." What is the cabinet, although it does not have the weight of the military aircraft department, but it is also the center. If you can get into which Zhongtang adult, the future is limitless. If you can enter the emperor's eyes, you don't need to test, and it is not impossible to reward the new Gongshi as a palace test! ”

"After being admitted to the cabinet, there is still a chance to take the palace exam?"

"What am I lying to you about!"

Ji Yunfei suddenly realized, thought about it and asked, "Master Ji, how many Chinese books are there in the cabinet?" ”

"There are 124 Zhongshu, including 70 in Manchuria, 16 in Mongolia, 8 in the Han army, and 30 in Han officials. Forty-six people wrote the Chinese book, including 40 in Manchuria and 6 in Mongolia, who were in charge of writing, recording, translating, and compiling books. In addition, there are six scholars in the Chinese calligraphy department, including two in Manchuria and four Han officials, who are in charge of the book. ”

"There are more than 170 Chinese books in the cabinet!"

"Junjie, there are many secretaries in the cabinet, but most of them are flag people, and most of them are in charge of translation. Even if they want to be a jinshi in the future, they will go to the translation department. How could Ji Yunfei not know what he was worried about, and said with a smile: "And when he is an errand in the cabinet, he not only has official salaries and incorruptible silver, but also rice silver. The provincial governors and feudal divisions each issue 100 taels of silver every year, and the Shanhaiguan enters the surplus 3 taels every year, and the household department and the supervision department each have 25 places to allocate more than 10,000 taels of silver to the treasury every year. Scholars and bachelors were given as one, and the rest of the officials, in descending numbers, down to the soap laborers, were also given water! ”

"Master Ji, is it not a chore to say that the cabinet secretary?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.

"How can you not be bitter when you have to write and record so many official documents every day, but you don't have to worry about being poor."

"Junjie, Master Ji has talked about this, what else do you have to hesitate?"

"I ...... I didn't know this at first, Master Ji, thank you for your kindness, you say, how can I go to the Ministry of Officials to take the exam? ”

"Junjie, this is a big deal, you have to think about it first!"

"After thinking about it, it's better to find an errand first than to sit and eat empty."

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll help you with the activities, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

……

This matter should be very urgent, Ji Yunfei confirmed that He Heng was willing to take the test and left in a hurry, without mentioning the matter of silver at all. He Heng couldn't sleep after eating supper, so he ran to Han Xiufeng's room and asked if he wanted to send some silver quickly.

"Master Ji didn't mention you, don't worry, the coming day will be long, and we will talk about it after the expenses are completed."

"That's all it can be."

Han Xiufeng looked at his appearance of gains and losses, and couldn't help but smile: "Junjie, I said that it won't be long before yesterday at Master Ji's house the night before yesterday, and our Chongqing Mansion is not only Master Ji and the four current officials in the capital, I didn't expect you to be an official in Beijing soon." ”

"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet."

"I know what kind of person Master Ji is, and he will never open his mouth if he is not eighty percent sure."

"That's right." He Heng thought about it and sighed sincerely: "It's different to have fellow villagers and not have fellow villagers, if it weren't for Master Ji's support, how could I He Junjie be where I am today." ”

Han Xiufeng hugged his legs and groaned: "Junjie, the reason why Master Ji has helped so much is not only because you are a fellow countryman, but also because you are a person. If you really look at the fellow villagers, there are more fellow villagers in the yard, why doesn't he help Yang Juren and them go to activities? ”

"I'm embarrassed to say that, in terms of being a person, I He Junjie really can't be ranked in front of you."

"Why are you pulling me again?"

The two of them were setting up the dragon gate array, and there was a commotion outside.

When I came out, it turned out that a coachman had sent the drunken Qian Junchen back, and He Heng's cousin was helping him inside.

I didn't see anything, but I had to say hello when I saw it.

Han Xiufeng and He Heng followed, and asked while helping him make tea, "Brother Qian, why are you drinking high again?" ”

"I'm glad today." Qian Junchen threw off his boots, raised his head and smiled: "Zhixing, Junjie, I can't walk in the Ministry of Rites for a few days, and I can't live in this courtyard for a few days, you will move in as soon as I leave." Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, don't let outsiders live in such a good house, hahaha. ”

He Heng helped him and asked curiously: "Brother Qian, you have found a commission again, this time you want to go to Beijing on an errand?" ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but ask: "The same examiner for the township test?" ”

"It's not." Qian Junchen shook his head.

"Township Exam!"

"Not really." Qian Junchen grinned and said proudly: "The examiner can do it once, it's boring to do it all the time, this time it's not an errand committee, but an external release." Feng Shui takes turns, and it's finally my turn to release Qian Junchen! ”

"Where to go, what's missing?" He Heng asked subconsciously.

"Hubei Buzheng Division's experience, in order to find this Hengyuan's big shopkeeper to help me do my best, and also helped me advance a full four thousand taels of silver." Thinking of not only taking the guys from Hengyuan Qianzhuang to take office together, but also letting the guys from Hengyuan Qianzhuang be long-term followers, Qian Junchen took Han Xiufeng's arm again and said: "Zhixing, if you weren't waiting to fill the vacancy, I really want to take you to Wuchang to take office, how good it is to go to Wuchang, close to home, you can go home when you want, don't you say?" ”
