Volume III Chapter 210 People and Things

Yang Cong's forces in Nanzhili are not limited to these, the first day, almost all the characters on the official face have appeared, but there are still many people who are not on the official face and have not yet appeared.

Of course, it's not that these people don't want to come to greet him, mainly, these people are not qualified to stand with the six Shangshu and the prince Xungui.

They also wanted to go to the docks, but there was nowhere to stop when they went to the docks, so they still came to visit the next day.

No, early the next morning, before it was midnight, Yang Cong gathered several groups of people at the gate of the courtyard rented by Dabao'en Temple.

This is Jinling City, Yang Cong is still the old rule, ordered, became his disciple, don't think about anyone lazy anywhere.

However, this time it was not in class, but in the lobby of the main house in the courtyard.

When the time came, Yang Cong appeared at the door of the hall with his hands in his hands, and at this time, a group of disciples were already standing on both sides of the waiting room.

Yang Cong didn't say anything, he directly entered the hall with his hands in his hands, sat on the main seat, and after a group of disciples stepped forward to greet him, he raised his hand and said, "Well, everyone sit down." ”

This is strange, usually Yang Cong did not let the disciples sit in front of him, at most he knelt behind the desk during class to listen to the class, and other times he usually sit, and the disciples stood on both sides.

Why did Yang Cong let them sit down this time?

All the disciples were inexplicably aware, but they still sat down carefully in the guest seat one by one according to Yang Cong's instructions.

Yang Cong saw the disciples sitting still, so he said aloud to the door: "Pass Zhang Ping." ”

Who is Zhang Ping?

I don't seem to have heard of this person in Jinling City.

All the disciples were full of confusion.

After a while, an old man with a five-short figure and a thief's eyebrows walked in and said with a respectful hand: "The villain Zhang Ping sees Lord Yang." ”

Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then pointed to Hai Rui and said: "This is the little apprentice Hai Rui, a candidate from Qiongzhou Mansion in Guangdong, you can help take care of it during the township exam." ”

Zhang Ping looked at Hai Rui carefully, and then nodded solemnly: "The villain remembers, don't worry, adults." ”

Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then asked, "How much silver, is it still fifty taels?" ”

Zhang Ping shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, no, don't want money, where does the villain dare to collect money from adults, in the past few years, thanks to the care of adults, villains don't know how much benefit they have gotten, this kind of trivial matter, how can villains collect money." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he was not hypocritical, he nodded slightly, and then raised his hand and said, "Well, okay, you go down first." ”

Zhang Ping hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The villain retreats." ”

With that, he bowed his waist and respectfully withdrew.

What does this mean?

From this Zhang Ping coming in to going out, Yang Cong didn't ask any disciples for their opinions, nor did he let them speak, they seemed to be sitting here watching the play, and they didn't understand the key play yet.

When Zhang Ping's back disappeared at the door, the "party" Hai Rui couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what does this person do, how does he take care of the students during the township examination?" ”

Yes, what is this Zhang Ping doing, and how does he take care of Hai Rui during the township test?

These disciples don't have much money in their families, although everyone except Hai Rui has participated in the township test, and Zhang Ping has never taken the initiative to find them, so everyone is full of confusion.

Yang Cong glanced around slightly, and then said lightly: "This Zhang Ping is just a small snake in Jinling City, and he is in charge of the officials in the major yamen, but whenever there is a vacancy in any yamen, he will basically ask him to introduce someone to fill in the gap." ”

Yes?

There are still such people in this world!

Aren't the officials in the yamen all on duty in turns?

Yang Cong saw that the disciples were still full of confusion, and then patiently explained: "The officials in this yamen were indeed assigned to take turns on duty at the beginning, because it saves money. However, things are not static, driven by interests, there will be people racking their brains to drill the camp, the profession of the government officer, there was no oil and water at the beginning, so everyone did not sharpen their heads to drill in, but with the increasingly serious corruption of officials, the oil and water of the government service gradually increased, so there are these local snakes who specialize in drilling the camp and the government. As for why almost all the yamen in Jinling asked him to introduce the yamen, it was very simple, because he stuffed money for those responsible officials, and usually, he went back to talk about it when he had nothing to do, and invited people to have a meal, drink a wine or something, and after a long time, these little officials were naturally bought or co-opted by him. ”

In these years, this kind of thing is really normal, and when the disciples heard this, they were all dissatisfied.

Soon, however, there was a slight disdain on their faces.

This kind of person, if he says it well, he is a snake on the ground, and if he doesn't say it well, he is a person who is indiscriminate, and he specializes in cultivating crooked ways.

Yang Cong saw the stunned appearance of the disciples, and couldn't help but say solemnly: "Don't underestimate these people, sometimes, they have a lot of energy, such as the township test, except for Ruxian, everyone has experienced it, how do you feel?" ”

What else can you feel, it's difficult, it's quite difficult, if you're not in good health, it's possible to die in the exam room!

When all the disciples heard this, their faces showed a little fear, the examination room of the township examination was really not a place for people to stay.

Seeing this, Yang Cong continued: "The arrangement of this examination room is actually another test in disguise, those nerds who are not diligent in reading and reading will not be able to pass this level. Of course, the teacher knows that you are not nerds, so the teacher specially asked this Zhang Ping to take care of Ruxian, in the examination room, Zhang Ping's energy is still very large, no matter eating, drinking, mosquito repellent, toilet, etc., it is his people who are in charge, with his care, Ruxian will definitely be able to suffer less crimes, and at the same time, he can also focus all his energy on answering questions in the exam, so that he can get better results. And you, when the time comes to take the exam, the teacher will also ask someone to take care of it, so that you can suffer less and spend more effort to answer the questions. “

And this kind of thing?

When the disciples heard this, they couldn't help but be taken aback again.

Hai Rui seemed to be a little unhappy in addition to being surprised, but he was a person who aspired to be a Qing official, and he was really a little unhappy to make such a similar cheating method during the imperial examination.

However, this matter was arranged by Yang Cong, and he couldn't object, so he could only sigh secretly and stop talking.

Yang Cong saw Hai Rui's expression, and couldn't help but say: "You are just too rigid, you know, if you don't pinch it softly, you will have to cause big trouble for the teacher at that time." ”

Of course, he wasn't teaching Hai Jui alone, so he wouldn't say that kind of thing.

He then said: "Sooner or later, you will enter the officialdom, and you will definitely meet this kind of person. In this world, anyone has his usefulness, and you are an official, on the surface, you are in charge of things, but in fact you are in charge of people, how to manage people well, let them according to your ideas, to achieve the goals you set is the most important, what other arrogance and prejudice, you had better not have in your hearts. ”
