Chapter 16 The Beetle

In addition to the small officials, there are also all kinds of miscellaneous servants, such as doormen, prisons, patrol fences, archers, etc., these people collude to squeeze the money of the common people, called yamen.

After so many years of development, a complete set of processes has long been formed, Zhu Shun just came to the yamen, and before he took out the deputy opening, a doorman came over.

The Ming Dynasty's famous posts are divided into three kinds, up, parallel, and down, and when you usually communicate, you must not use the wrong post.

If it was to visit Shangguan, it was supposed to use the name of Shangda, but it was used to hand it over, let alone visit, and he and Shangguan formed a bond before they met.

The deputy qi in Zhu Shun's hand represents the interaction between the peers, and also has the meaning of talking about private affairs, Menzi glanced at it, and knew what this person was here for, and greeted warmly: "This official, which official is he looking for?" ”

Zhu Shun handed the deputy qi in his hand to Menzi, glanced at the gatehouse of the public party and said, "Zhang Baguan, who is looking for you, said that I was waiting for him in a nearby restaurant." ”

Menzi took the deputy qi in his hand, saw that the official turned around and left, without even giving a penny of reward, secretly scolded the poor ghost, and walked in in a bad mood.

Zhang Baguan happened to be sitting in the main hall and talking about some things with the top official of the Hebo Institute, and the two usually had a good personal relationship.

The official took a sip of tea and asked, "If you have something to do, go there, no one usually comes to our idle yamen, and no one will know that you are out." ”

After reading the deputy Qi, Zhang Baguan said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that my fellow villager Zhu Shun wants to lease a piece of land on the edge of the Yongding River." ”

When the official heard that the person who came was Zhu Shun, his fingers shook, and he almost didn't drop the teacup: "Is that Zhu Shun who cheated the Donglin Party?" ”

Zhang Baguan put down the deputy qi in his hand and said with a wry smile: "That's right, it's him." ”

The official who said just now that he would let Zhang Baguan go out grabbed Zhang Baguan's arm: "Lao Zhang, you can't go, in case the Donglin Party thinks that you have something to do with him, let alone be promoted in this life, whether you can keep the position of the dam official is another matter." ”

Zhang Baguan didn't know this truth, but the township party with the most important officialdom, especially the same village, can almost be equated with a family in officialdom.

Seeing that Zhang Baguan really wanted to go over, the official's voice suddenly became a lot more anxious: "You know best what the world is now, if you don't have the position of this dam official, your whole family will not say that they will eat meat, but whether they can eat enough is one thing." ”

"I still want your youngest son, but I'm about to reach the age of going to a private school, we have a public school in the county, but now it's no different from being abandoned, you can only go to a private school."

"And your eldest daughter will get married in half a month, and there will be a lot of dowry to accompany her."

When Zhang Baguan heard the bitter words of the official, he sighed, and could only hand over the deputy qi to Menzi again: "Just say that I am not there." ”

After half a pillar of incense, Zhu Shun, who was sitting in the restaurant, got the vice qi again, said lightly that he knew, and went back.

Before Zhu Shun came over, he expected this scene to happen, and he didn't care, he just wanted to test how influential the Donglin Party was.

Now that I've seen it, it's just a matter of seeing it.

Zhu Shun now just wants to carry out the first industrial revolution step by step in a down-to-earth manner, without the idle time, nor the idle time to intrigue with the Donglin Party and the Jin businessmen.

After the rest was over, Zhu Shun returned to Wang Gong Factory, did nothing, and found the craftsman of Wang Gong Factory to arrange a strange task for them.

Stop all the work at hand and create some strange-shaped parts, although I don't know what these things are for, but because Zhu Shun is the obscenity of Wang Gongchang, he can only do what he tells him.

Wang Gongchang's side had just stopped, and Jin Zhijun, who had been paying attention to any movement in Wang Gongchang, happily rewarded the little official who came to report ten taels of silver.

According to his character of slamming the door, let alone ten taels of silver, he usually feels distressed when he rewards a penny, but now that the ten taels of silver are thrown out in vain, he doesn't feel distressed at all.

This news is not to mention ten taels of silver, even a hundred taels of silver is worth it.

A sentence of dereliction of duty delaying the casting of firearms in Wang Gong's factory was enough to make Zhu Shun recover.

However, Jin Zhijun did not impeach Zhu Shun as soon as possible, but waited, waited for a while, and waited until Zhu Shun's crime was big enough to kill him with one move.

Kim Zhijun waited at home for this time, and he was not idle, and with the news that could almost be said to be the last straw, he went to visit a squire.

The squire's property was in the country, but he had already handed over all his property to his son to manage, and went to the capital by himself, and bought a few beautiful girls of fifteen or sixteen years old.

During the day, he fights with grasshoppers, carries cages and plays with birds, and strives to give incense to the family at night.

This squire is none other than Zheng Yuanwai, the representative of the Ministry of Officials.

Zheng Yuanwai just bought dozens of pots of bamboos yesterday, and commanded the family members to fill the courtyard with bamboos, and others in the province said every day that he was a rich man in the countryside.

Zheng Yuanwai was in a good mood because he bought dozens of pots of bamboo, and he didn't last long when he heard a steward say that Jin Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites came to visit.

When Zheng Yuanwai heard this person's name, his face darkened, and it was because of him some time ago that he lost a full eight hundred taels of silver, which was simply a broom star.

Zheng Yuanwai said with a tiger face: "No." ”

In fact, it is not the reason for losing money, the main reason is that Jin Zhijun is now stinky on the street, and Zheng Yuanwai's identity is sensitive.

In the dead of night, it's okay to meet in private, but it's definitely not okay to meet in public, as long as you meet him publicly, isn't it saying that the Donglin Party has forgiven him.

The Shangshu on the top of Zheng Yuanwai's head has no such meaning, in case of misunderstanding, let alone continuing to be the spokesperson of the Ministry of Shangshu, it is the same thing whether he can keep the family business or not.

This kind of thing is not easy to say clearly, Zheng Yuanwai can only show that he didn't meet because Jin Zhijun lost money.

As soon as the steward turned around and left, Zheng Yuanwai said with an ugly face: "Just say that I won't see him during the day, master." ”

The steward knew in his heart that the master was ordering Jin Zhijun to come at night.

Who knew that as soon as the steward finished saying this, Jin Zhijun didn't know if his brain was pumped, or what was going on, so he scolded: "Something like a dog, you still dare to put on a score." ”

"Don't see the official? You waited for the officer, and after this period of time, the officer asked you to kneel down and beg me to see you. ”

Jin Zhijun has been sure about the impeachment of Zhu Shun, so he has the confidence to dare to scold the representative of the Ministry of Shangshu, and after scolding, he feels particularly refreshed, and he is in a very good mood and leaves here.
