Wei Bao smiled slightly, secretly thinking that I was going to be an official, not to fight, so I don't need to be so nervous, right?

However, Wei Bao still nodded yes.

Be careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years, the security work of the President's Guard and the General Administration of Statistics cannot be relaxed, and he himself must not show an indifferent attitude, which will discourage the enthusiasm of the security personnel.

After getting off the sedan chair, Wei Bao walked along, not knowing how to order it, whether to order it or not?

Anyway, Wei Bao knew that it must be early to come at this time, and the yamen of the Ming Dynasty did not work so early, and it was only seven o'clock in the morning at this time.

Wei Bao also said that he came early, but Yu Huang, Hua Qifang, Weng Hongye and Wu Kongjia were a few Jinshi who had met in the first and second grades, but they had already arrived!

He turned out to be the last one.

Wei Bao and Yu Huang are the editors of the seven products, and Wu Kongjia and Weng Hongye and others are from the review of the seven products.

Originally, Wei Bao's seven products should be their own!

Although they are all idle and there is no difference in power, Wu Kongjia is still full of anger when he sees Wei Bao's seventh-grade official uniform.

"Hello everyone." Wei Bao took the initiative to greet everyone enthusiastically.

Several people hurriedly greeted Wei Bao, and they all said that Master Wei was good.

Everyone is in a good mood, after all, the things of the meeting test and the palace test have passed, and finally the dust has settled, and they have entered the officialdom, and they can breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

In the past few days, everyone has been busy writing letters to their families, visiting Jinshi of the same year, and contacting their feelings.

Wei Bao did the same, asked Wu Xuexia to send a letter to Wei Jiazhuang, telling his family the good news that he was admitted to Tanhualang, and asked Wei Dakang and Huang Ying if they would like to come to the capital to play for a few days.

Wei Bao knew that his parents had never left Yongping Mansion in their lives! It's time for them to get out and see what's going on.

Several people talked to Wei Bao, but Wu Kongjia kept standing aside with a cold face.

There are people from the Donglin Department in the Hanlin Academy, there are people from the Wei Department, and the people from the Donglin Department account for the vast majority!

In this session, only Wu Kongjia was a Jinshi of the Wei family.

Of course, this is on the surface, and there is a Wei Bao in the dark.

Originally, Wei Bao should have been closer to Wu Kongjia, but unfortunately Wu Kongjia didn't know Wei Bao's ingredients.

However, several Donglin Jinshi were very close to Wei Bao, and felt that Wei Bao, a neutral faction with no ingredients, would soon be able to stand with them.

The Ming Dynasty was the golden age of the Hanlin Academy, don't look at the Hanlin Yuan is only a five-grade yamen, but the Hanlin Academy is a tall place.

Because the Hanlin Yuan is responsible for the affairs of the system, the annals, and the Wenhan, and is responsible for the examination system and the revision of paperwork, especially the Hanlin Yuan is the emperor's advisory body, to a certain extent, it can influence the government and can also interfere in the deposition and promotion of officials, so it is particularly respected.

Take the previous dynasty as an example, the supreme leader of the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Bachelor, was only a fifth-rank official, but when he was in the upper dynasty, he could stand in front of the fourth-rank official.

Also, in other ministries, only four-rank officials are qualified to go to the court, and special yamen such as the Hanlin Yuan and the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and the sixth-grade officials are qualified to go to the court.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy had the saying that it was the cradle of the prime minister, because the Hanlin Academy was considered to be the emperor's advisory body.

Wu Xiang arranged Wu Sanfu to enter the Zhan Mansion in order to have a chance to meet the emperor.

And the Hanlin Academy had more opportunities to meet the emperor.

It's just that Wu Sanfu is not a Jinshi in the first and second grades, Wu Xiang knows that no matter how much money he spends, there is no way to let Wu Sanfu come to the Hanlin Academy, in that case, it is too exaggerated, and the whole dynasty will not agree.

A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they were taken by the officials of the Hanlin Academy to know what they were going to do, where to work, and some simple ceremonies before the official office.

That's all the morning.

Only then did Wei Bao know that there were more than 100 people in the Hanlin Academy, and almost all of the Jinshi from the first and second grades of the previous sessions were still here.

How many years does it take to be transferred?

It's said to be editing, but in fact, there's nothing to edit, just do what you want to do.

I'm finally living the life I've been longing for in modern times.

President Wei finally had a big bookcase, with a pretending book in front of him, and sat steadily thinking about his thoughts.

How many years has he dreamed of this kind of life?

There is no need to do bird things, waiting for the salary every month, and the salary is definitely high in the entire Ming officialdom.

Of course, it can only be counted as righteous income, and cannot be compared with gray income and black income.

Children from the lowest levels of society, whether they are children from poor families in rural areas, urban wage earners, or even children from families without a fixed job, for them to study is really the only reliable way out. And you must read it as hard as you can, as long as you don't die, you can read it to death, don't listen to any quality education, those are the icing on the cake for the children of the rich, and the children of the poor really can't afford it.

If you choose to be comfortable and boiled in warm water, sooner or later you will find yourself out of touch with society, and it will be difficult to catch up.

It's not that sitting in an office makes people stupid.

But once you get this kind of resource, you will definitely not be able to spend your brains and energy, all your thoughts will be put in this kind of working environment, and the most important thing to think about all day is how to get promoted to the official, really, Wei Bao just sat on a stick of incense and felt so.

Looking at those who have remained in the Hanlin Yuan for many years, they are waiting to become officials in other yamen, or waiting to be sent to the local government to become officials.

It's a pity that those who have a way left early, and most of those who have been left are people who are not good at clinging to relationships, or children of poor families.

It is too difficult to make the leap from the bottom to the top all at once through the efforts of a generation.

It is already remarkable that a child from a poor family can become a middle-class family in this life.

Every generation has its mission, everyone has its ceiling, and when you reach a certain age, you must shoulder this mission, and at the same time, it is difficult to break through your own ceiling at a certain time.

On the one hand, we must create better conditions for the next generation, and on the other hand, we must feed back the previous generation that will eventually pass away, and live for others, this is the true meaning of family affection.

This made these people who had been in a yamen for many years gradually become walking dead, and everyone was cautious and cautious.

There is no jealousy in the modern or ancient officialdom that Wei Bao sees, and he is clearly knifed or something.

In fact, in Wei Bao's opinion, it is not easy to secretly knife a yamen like Hanlin Academy, because everyone has nothing to do and nothing to do.

Drafting, annals, Wenhan and other affairs, responsible for the examination system, revision of paperwork, these, in fact, one or two skilled hands, all of them are covered, why do you need one or two hundred people?

Especially a recent official like Wei Bao, he can't do anything specific, and there is just another idler in the Ming court.

Wei Bao sat for a while, then went to talk to someone, he likes to talk to the elderly, as long as he doesn't talk about work, talk about some things in life, these people are still very happy, the most things they do all day and night is actually in a daze.

Although they don't like to talk very much, they are afraid that trouble will come out of their mouths, but if there are newcomers chatting with them, they will not be too wary.

Wei Bao found that these people are people who have no friendship, and general friendship is actually a bit similar to love, which is based on equal equality and mutual assistance, but friendship emphasizes mutual benefit and mutual assistance.

Basically, they find the daughter of a large local family, marry her, and then try to bring the old man to Beijing.

As for friends, there is no such thing, and realistically speaking, a boss and a subordinate cannot be friends, never will, or how likely is a professor and a student to become friends?

It's more of a working relationship.

When the people you want to make friends with are not of the same magnitude as yourself in terms of experience, vision, contacts and resources, all you have to do is to retreat and form a net, on the other hand, if you want to improve yourself, you must be in the company of better people.

So if you want to be friends with a local tyrant, maybe you have to find a way to make yourself a local tyrant.

If you want to be friends with Shangguan, you can only be promoted, but if you don't get promoted, you will never be able to make friends with Shangguan.

If it weren't for the rebirth of the giant, if it was just a poor child, Wei Bao would be desperate on the first day of taking office, and he would be able to see clearly the route he would have to go through in this life.

Fortunately, he is very young, only 15 years old, if he is really a poor child, and now he is thirty or forty years old, then in this life, at best, he can only yearn for a place where the position of prefect in a poor and remote country is vacant, and the children of rich families are unwilling to go, so that it is possible to get the opportunity to be released.

After sitting for a while, I thought about a lot.

At noon, Wei Bao stretched his waist and set off for home.

He belongs to the good economic conditions, he has subordinates, a sedan chair, and convenient contacts.

There are also many low-level officials who have been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and they can only live in remote alleys in the capital, and they can't afford to hire a sedan chair.

As for the Shangguan at the bachelor's level, they generally go back to their homes, and they will not stay in the Hanlin Academy for lunch, they can eat if they want, and the Hanlin Academy also has a small room.

When I came out of the Hanlin Academy, I met Yu Huang, Hua Qifang and Weng Hongye and other newcomers of the Donglin Department, and everyone asked Wei Bao to go out to eat casually.

Wei Bao is an easy-going person, so he went away.

Everyone said something without oil and salt, and talked about the feelings of going to the yamen on the first day, but there was nothing to do.

But Wei Bao obviously felt that just one morning's work had made everyone even more hypocritical!

Officialdom is really an assembly line machine, and it is easy to create a single product.

After the meal, Wei Bao insisted on helping everyone pay the bills, although everyone knew that Wei Bao was very rich, but insisted on paying for each other.

Wei Bao didn't want people to feel that they were deliberately showing off, so he let everyone go.

This is also very good, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and they can get along for a long time by paying their own money.

However, this subverted Wei Bao's understanding, in the past, in modern books and film and television dramas, it seems that officials eat among themselves, they are all wealthy, full of chicken, duck and fish, it seems that it is normal for anyone to pay, today you invite, tomorrow I invite.

But it turns out that as early as the Ming Dynasty, we advocated the AA system?

In the afternoon, I returned to Hallym Temple to imagine my life.

I don't know why, at home, when he has free time, Wei Bao can still read a little bit of books, and sometimes he will be a little interested in various ancient classics.

But now, he is already a Tanhualang, he has stood at the peak of the Daming Imperial Examination, and after he has sat in the place where the most peak talents of the Daming Imperial Examination gather, he doesn't want to read at all.

I don't want to read a word, even if there are books everywhere, it can be described as a sea of books, but President Wei just doesn't want to read books, and the book in front of him has not been turned once throughout the day, and it has always maintained the appearance of opening it at the beginning.

Return to the house in the evening.

Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sanfu, Wu Sangui, Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya, and Princess Zhenming are all there.

Wu Xiang is not disgusted with Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming, although Wang Qiuya is from a poor family, she is cautious, and she doesn't look like she will pose a threat to her daughter, so she should be at her mercy.

And Princess Zhenming is a Korean princess, Wu Xiang doesn't think it will pose a threat to Wu Xuexia, although North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it is not a woman of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Xiang doesn't think that Wei Bao will marry a foreign woman as his wife.

Moreover, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming are very polite and polite to Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang has a good impression of them, and saw that Wu Xuexia and the second daughter got along well, so they didn't take this matter to heart.

Wei Bao was once worried that Wu Xiang would interfere in the affairs of a bunch of women in his own hands, and he also brought women with him, Wu Xiang must be even more unhappy.

Seeing that Wu Xiang didn't seem to be much disgusted, this made Wei Bao feel a lot more relieved, and secretly thought, I'm afraid that Wu Xiang has been suppressed by Zu Dashou's sister at home all his life, can he understand the pain of a man without three wives and four concubines, right?

"Brother Sanfu, are you back so early? I'll rush home as soon as I get there, but I still don't get home before you get home. Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Sanfu said proudly: "What, I didn't go at all in the afternoon." The head of our Zhan Mansion said that I should rest for a few days first, and then talk about it next month, and this month will be paid in silver. ”

"Isn't it your father who greeted people and sold our family's silver for face?" Wu Xiang smiled and said to Wu Sanfu: "Your value, it doesn't matter if you go or not, do you remember the most important one?" ”

"Remember, how many times have you said it? Don't offend anyone. Wu Sanfu replied with a smile.

Wu Xiang smiled and nodded: "Just remember!" Then he asked Wei Bao: "Xiaobao, how was the first day on duty?" ”

"It's okay, it's a bit of a nodle." Wei Bao replied with a smile.

"That's the case, the Hanlin Courtyard is the Qingshui Yamen, it's nothing, just get used to it, I spent 200,000 taels of silver for you, and in half a year, Gonggong Wei will definitely arrange another place for you." Wu Xiang said with a smile.

"You don't come back at noon, and you don't let people pass the word, or I sent someone to ask to find out that you won't come back." Wu Xuexia said at this time.

"Well, I was pulled by my colleagues to eat together. So didn't come back. Wei Bao replied.

"It's okay, it's okay, where do men always think about going home? Xiaobao can come back in the evening. Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Those who should be entertained should still be entertained, and it is right to have a good relationship with colleagues." ”

"Dad, you didn't say that to me, you still let me socialize less." Wu Sanfu said aggrievedly.

Wu Xiang smiled: "Are you the same as Xiaobao?" Xiaobao has a sense of proportion in making friends, you are outside, you are all making fox friends and dog friends, and you can't make any useful friends. And, where do you go to socialize? Lao Tzu spent money to let you go to the Qinglou to socialize? You are now an official of the Ming Dynasty, although you are now lenient about officials visiting the Qinglou to drink flowers and wine, but after all, it is not allowed, who knows when you will catch it, so, you had better be honest in Beijing, your every move, someone will tell me, do you hear?"

"I heard you, Dad, how many times have you said it?" Wu Sanfu rubbed his hands together with each other.

"Let's eat, in a few days, when Sanfu's house is ready, Sanfeng and Sangui and I will go back to Liaoxi." Wu Xiang waved his hand, and he had the posture of the head of the family.

Although this is Wei Bao's mansion, Wu Xiang seems to have regarded it as his own home.

"By the way, Xiaobao's father replied and said that he would come to the capital in a few days, don't you wait to meet them before leaving?" Wu Xuexia remembered something.

Wei Bao said: "My father is coming?" ”

"Well, the letter just came in today." Wu Xuexia said.

Wei Bao sighed.

"I won't wait, I often invite Xiaobao's father to get together at Shanhaiguan in western Liaoning, and it will be convenient for us to meet." Wu Xiang said.

Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia said yes together.

After a few days, Wu Xiang took Wu Sanfeng and Wu Sangui back to Liaoxi after arranging a good house for Wu Sanfu.

Before leaving, I had another exhortation with Wu Sanfu, Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia.

Time flies, Wei Bao really can't stand this kind of day, and when the weather starts to get hot, he decides to take the initiative to find Wei Zhongxian to be an official.
