When Shen got off work, Jia Cong took a sedan chair back, and met Gong Dingci's seven-grade sedan chair on the street in front of Zhengyangmen, Jia Cong greeted: "How is Brother Gong's lecture?" ”

"It's okay, I used to listen to others, but now I talk about it myself, and it always feels different." Gong Dingci stretched out his head: "How are you doing with the fourth prince?" ”

Jia Cong said a few perfunctory words, and when he wanted to stagger them, Gong Dingci said in a sighing tone: "There are dozens of Hanlin people in several subjects, and if you are incompetent in the monthly assessment, it is very dangerous. ”

Jia Cong looked at him deeply: "Thank you for reminding me, is there any news from the Chao Kao?" ”

"Brother Jia are the two colleagues who care about your Shanhai Alliance? Hmm......" Gong Dingci shook his head: "The court examination has just begun, and the news has not yet come out." ”

The two of them each put down the sedan curtain, Jia Cong sat in the sedan chair and pondered, the people who can pass the Jinshi examination, the great edict of this dynasty, the law, the canon, etc., are all familiar with it. According to the regulations of the previous Ming Dynasty, officials must retire at seventy, and this dynasty will increase to seventy-five, but during the period of Taizong Shengzu, some cabinet elders reigned to more than eighty, depending on the emperor's intentions, and Qin Ye retired without much trouble.

However, the problem is that this matter seems to be directed at him, and Jia Cong has just taken office and has a keen political sense.

Engineering to do things in Jasvin? These science and technology officials are full of food and support, although there are also honest people in science and technology, but most of them are mad dogs, and they bite whoever they catch.

Thinking about his current advantages, he can't be reflected in the prince's side, but Hanlin has a great chance of meeting the emperor, and the emperor will occasionally come to Hanlin Academy. The other is the emperor's banquet speaker, the emperor's lecturer is more senior than the prince's speaker, most of them are reading and speaking, and he must find a way to rise up, or, become a member of the inner palace on duty.

Time is getting more and more pressing, I don't know how Wang Ziteng will fall? How did Jia Yuanchun die? Also, the second sister Jia Yingchun is not far from being sold......

Sitting on a soft and comfortable cushion, but his heart is not soft and comfortable, Jia Cong closed his eyes and pondered for a while like an old monk in meditation, the sedan chair turned westward, faintly heard the noise outside, he said: "Stop, turn east, to the east of the small market." ”

Sun Fu and Long Aotian, who followed left and right, accompanied Jia Cong step by step, the clouds went straight up, one person attained the Tao, and at the same time when the chicken dog ascended to heaven, Sun Fu felt that the estrangement was getting farther and farther away, and he was more and more in awe, this master was not as foolish as Bao Er Ye at all, and he was very shrewd.

The sedan chair stopped at the bottom of the East Fourth Archway, Jia Cong did not get off the sedan chair, sent two people to inquire about the situation, there are several chambers of commerce here, the outer railing, the inside is the courtyard, look at the archway of the four pillars and three gates, the insult received here a few years ago, should be found back today.

"It is the guild halls of Zhejiang merchants, Hui merchants, and Jin merchants who are making trouble, protesting that the tax amount of Chongwenmen is too high, and the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion does not abide by the rules." Sun Fu replied that at that time, as long as there were big cities, there were merchants' guild halls, and this kind of guild hall was first jointly funded and built, and the second was the local alliance, and if the people of the same village were in difficulty, they could apply for assistance from the guild hall.

The people who apply are not necessarily businessmen, but the poor ones who are rushing to take the exam, raising people, etc., this is a kind of non-governmental organization initiated by outsiders to maintain local power in a foreign land, and large guilds have official spokespersons.

……

"Both of you are from the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and if you don't follow the rules, you don't have to follow the rules." Jia Cong's fingers tapped on the paper on the table where the ink had not dried: "Copy thousands of copies of this notice, first, don't let people know that it came from Shanhai Bookstore, and pay for other bookstores to copy it." ”

When the two saw Jia Cong's official uniform, they were a little more in awe, and Zheng Yeyu restrained: "It's not a problem to pay money, it's just that the son's meaning is to make a big fuss?" ”

"Yes, the bigger the trouble, the better, and someone will clean up the yard for you." Jia Cong sneered: "Second, when the time comes, workers will be encouraged to strike, businessmen will strike the market, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, once the people have less daily food, they will also join in." ”

"This ......" Luo Gaocai said in frustration, "Will he be killed?" ”

"Don't worry, this doesn't involve the prince, it's the governor's official who came forward. Someone will handle the official affairs. Jia Cong gave a reassurance.

He also took a few poetry collections about the women of the Grand View Garden from the book club and went out, and the books published in this era, as long as they were profitable, other merchants would also pirate them regardless of which business it was, and the poetry collections were popular among the literati, so there were naturally commentaries.

There are also reviews that sell well and don't sell well, such as Jin Sheng's comment on the Water Margin and the West Chamber, which sell well because the reviews have characteristics.

In the next few days, Jia Cong either taught in the Hanlin Academy, or lectured in the palace of Prince Yu, until the examination in May, Wang Yinglin and Zhang Maocai could not be selected as a Shujishi.

After giving a lecture on this day, Jia Cong was waiting for them in Xijiang Laneway, and the three of them waved their three-foot long sleeves and left, Jia Cong said: "Brother Wang has heard about the Chongwenmen banknote?" ”

"I heard that, I'll play tomorrow." Wang Yinglin didn't know what was about to happen, he just thought that Jia Cong was reminding him of his part, the household department and the criminal department were divided into more than ten Qing officials departments according to the province, including Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi, because there had been a large amount of tax concealment by the head of the province before, so it was not allowed to use people from this province, Wang Yinglin frowned and shook his head: "Now that I am an official, I know that every step is restricted, Zhejiang's Ku Pingyin, part of it must be returned to the prince's mansion, which is not allowed, and the prince has his own rated salary, which is all ...... Alas, the set in the book does not apply......"

Jia Cong whispered to Wang Yinglin, and after listening to it, Wang Yinglin's eyes lit up: "Wonderful, you can give it a try." ”

Then Zhang Maocai spat out bitterness and said: "You two are much better than me, one is cultivation, now you are the king's teacher, and it is possible that you will be the emperor's teacher in the future." One is the fat shortage of Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, Su, Song, Chang, Jia, Hangzhou, how much oil and water. The Department of General Political History is ranked in the Jiuqing Yamen, but the General Political History is a person with a master, and the Department of General Affairs is controlled by internal officials...... The right senator of the Department of General Political History sounds good, and the four-grade white pheasant complement that is actually given, what power does it have, and it depends on the eyes of the officials......"

He was really angry and indignant, but Jia Cong comforted him, when it was always useful, the Department of General Administration and History was the department that could see the twists and turns for the first time, although it was easy to be controlled by the master of ceremonies, but it could also be good friends with the master of ceremonies. What Wang Yinglin said reminded Jia Cong of Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun was not bad as an official at the beginning, but he learned to be obedient and changed a lot, "The original prefect of Yingtianfu, has he entered Beijing?" ”

"Yes, the promotion is faster than anyone else, from the fourth-grade prefect, to the first-grade military department, the great Sima, the assistant military counselor, the government, just live on Xinglong Street, tsk...... This is the genius of being an official. ”
