Xie Zhushu's words are high-sounding, and they are deeply rooted in people's hearts, there is a so-called Song Dynasty that officials are strong and officials are weak, and it is not difficult to increase a few places in the county government, which is very tempting for ordinary people.

Just when Fan Ming and several other officials in the hall were speculating about the meaning of Master Xie's book, Xie Peinan had already gone in advance, but Bu Xiancheng walked next to Fan Ming and the four people with great interest, looked at it with a smile, and said to Master Xie: "Fang Lan, a few students from the county school this time are good, even Lao Liu, an old knife and pen, is not as good!" ”

"Oh!" Master Xie suddenly became interested, looked at Liu Zhisi and said, "With this matter, it has only been half a month for a few of them to come to the county office!" ”

Liu Zhisi's old face was slightly red, and he was not convinced, but Buxian Cheng opened his mouth, could he still say that it was not impossible, so he could only nod his head sullenly, "Yes, at the beginning, I just taught them to do things according to the method passed down by the elders, it was really tiring and not easy to make mistakes, and then Fan Ming thought of a way, but I didn't expect it to be really practical." After speaking, Liu Zhisi pulled Fan Ming again, "Fan Ming, you came up with this method, tell the adults about it." ”

After all, he has seen the great world of the later generations, and Fan Ming did not have the slightest hesitation on this formal occasion, even if he was facing the second or third person in the county, he said the modern office theory of the later generations concisely and concisely, and after finishing speaking, he bowed a little and retreated, in order to show that Liu Zhisi was the leader.

All the people present are old officials who eat this line of food, and the truth that Fan Ming said is not a profound thing, and he completely understands it in his mind a little, although the truth is simple, but not everyone can come up with it, and seeing that this young man knows how to be polite, he immediately looked at Fan Ming differently.

"Not bad, not bad! This method is practical and the responsibility is clear, and in the future, our yamen will do things according to this method! Master Xie also nodded with satisfaction at the same time, turned to Fan Ming and said, "Which family are you from, and where do you live?" ”

"The kid was born in a farming family, a native of Qinghe Village, Qinghe Township!" Fan Ming replied in a regular manner, but his eyes carefully looked at the expression on the face of the chief bookkeeper of Bu County.

On the other side, Master Xie's face was slightly stunned, and he estimated it in his heart, and he didn't think of any big family surnamed Fan in this county, but seeing that this Fan Ming knew books and etiquette, advanced and retreated, and he didn't look like an ordinary farmer's child, could it be that he was really an ancestor who accumulated virtue?

Although the official system of this dynasty is not very strict, it is not casual to fool, there are generally customized, especially in recent years, Chuqiu County has faintly shown signs of falling from a large county to a middle county, and the quota of officials is even more strict, to say that such a young and promising student can arrange a quota for him to be a clerk, but now you have to think about it more, "Yes, yes, do a good job, there will be opportunities in the future!" ”

Xie Zhushu's words made the other officials take a breath, and even a little jealous, if the beginning of Xie Zhushu is still a joke, this sentence is a bit to summon him to the county government to serve, in fact, the excess of Xu officials is not controlled and after the promulgation of the "cang law" for the officials can not only earn a living, but also enjoy a certain amount of money, this is of course not the most important, the most important thing is this identity, entering the yamen is equivalent to having a layer of aura, in this Chuqiu County can basically be regarded as a character.

Looking at the sky, Bu Xiancheng waved his hand and beckoned: "It's not too early, let's go!" ”

Everyone got up together and walked towards the Drunken Immortal Building with the two adults, talking to each other along the way, it was quite spectacular to have a tolerance to open the way, Fan Ming had a strange feeling in his heart, when did he become a master.

The drunken immortal building is not far from the county government, but it is only two hundred steps away, and the officials in the yamen often eat and feast here.

After eating this banquet under a period of emptiness and grievances, Bu Xiancheng and Xie Zhushu said goodbye to everyone at the same time, and the officials also ended up at peace, after all, there are bosses who can't let go of their hands and feet, and even the singer doesn't dare to scream, as soon as the two leaders leave, everyone will be a little promiscuous, Fan Ming felt bored for a while, and saw that some of the officials began to leave, and found an excuse to retire at the moment.

Walking out of the Drunken Immortal Building, Fan Ming only felt that the air was unusually clear, he took a deep breath and spit it out, and suddenly his whole body relaxed a lot, and his head began to sober up, just as he was about to step towards his home, there was a call from behind him, "Fan Ming, wait!" ”

turned his head to look, but it was Liu Zhisi, "Uncle Liu, why did you come out too?"

Liu Zhisi smiled and hurried two steps forward, "Let's go, talk while walking!" ”

"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

"Hmm!" Liu Zhisi nodded, "Today's event is your luck, you'd better take a good day to visit Buxian Cheng's mansion!" Speaking of this, Liu Zhusi couldn't help but sigh, "A generation of new people for the old, there are a lot of old people in the yamen, it seems that Bu Xiancheng is ready to change a new blood, but you must know that there are many people staring at this position, I can see that Bu Xiancheng is trying to recruit you, if you come to visit while the iron is hot, it may not take a few days to officially enter the yamen, the title of the gold list, it sounds good, how many can really go up!" ”

Fan Ming nodded, he is also very clear about this situation, and it is a very good foundation for the future career to have an official identity before the scientific examination, the current reform of the new party, more and more attention is paid to the experience of officials before taking office, if there is a clerk qualification, it will undoubtedly add a thick capital for the official, but there seems to be something in his heart that he does not remember.

He also studied the feudal system of officials, and although most of them did not have formal fame, they were able to learn the basic clerical and arithmetic skills required for their work by their own efforts. Their knowledge of red tape is partly accumulated from their work, and partly from their relatives or other people's private teachings. Some of the key procedures are usually passed down from father to son, or can be sold to newcomers for a significant price. Their ease of manoeuvring in the system was apparently due to their effective grasp of the principles of applied psychology and their general knowledge of the political climate of the time.

The biggest difference between officials and civil officials is that they usually work in their hometowns and know the local customs quite well.
