"My lord, what do you have to tell the lower officer?" Shen Chongming sat down and said to Zhang Langzhong with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, this official wants to congratulate Lord Shen. This morning, Lord Shilang went to the official to ask questions, and decided to transfer Lord Shen to serve in the household department, Zheng Qipin, and the head of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division of the household department. Zhang Langzhong said with a smile, his eyes full of envy. In just a few months, this Shen Chongming has been promoted from the seventh grade to the seventh grade, and he is in charge of the errand of the sixth grade.

Shen Chongming frowned, puzzled: "Lord Zhang, the lower officials have not made an inch of achievements since they were on an errand under you, how could they be inexplicably promoted?" ”

Zhang Langzhong smiled, but he felt that this proud disciple of the tall man was cute, didn't he know that he had a deep background.

"Lord Shen is too modest, who said that you didn't make an inch, and you went to the household department to check the dirty warehouse a few days ago, isn't it just a cat that you found out? This is a great achievement, Lord Shen is so capable at a young age, and the imperial court will naturally reuse it. Zhang Langzhong said half-truthfully.

Then he sighed and said: "Since Lord Shen came to me to take the examination of the Qing Officials, the official has been a lot more idle, and in the blink of an eye, Lord Shen has been transferred to the household department, and the official is really a little reluctant in his heart." ”

Shen Chongming only thought it was funny, it was the same whether he came or not, the big guy was still idle and slept back to the cage every day, sitting together and doing homework. To be honest, I really can't bear this idle errand.

Thinking about it, he got up and said respectfully: "Thank you for your care and promotion during this time, and the next official is inscribed." ”

"Hehe, Lord Shen is polite, I hope you can go back to the Ministry to see my colleagues when you have time." Zhang Langzhong also stood up and said with a smile, and then called the handyman and instructed him to pack things for Shen Chongming and send them to the household department.

Shen Chongming only came to the household department once, and the household department is the largest organization among the various yamen, and it is really not easy to find the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division ranked among the thirteenth divisions, but fortunately, he was dressed in an official robe, and he casually pulled a miscellaneous servant and let him lead the way.

The household department is relatively busy, and Shen Chongming can think of it from the situation when Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming return home every day to fall asleep, and when Shen Chongming walked into the small office of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, he immediately felt that his head was big, and so many people were put in such a place.

There are no less than thirty people in the big house about twenty steps long and about ten steps deep, one by one, bowing their heads to the desk, one hand looking at the account book next to them, and the other hand keeps dialing the abacus to calculate something, and the look of concentration makes Shen Chongming, who is used to leisure, feel terrified.

Shen Chongming frowned slightly, this kind of working environment is really terrible.

"What do you do, my lord?" A small official who stood up straight and stretched his waist looked at Shen Chongming standing in front of the door and couldn't help asking.

"This official Shen Chongming is the new director of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, I don't know where Lord Langzhong is?" Shen Chongming hurriedly replied, it was really a little unnatural for so many people to look at him when they heard the voice.

"Oh, you are Lord Shen, Lord Langzhong is next door, and the little one will take you there." The little official smiled flatteringly and walked over quickly.

Looking at the not too big room next door, Shen Chongming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this is the leader's office, compared to the hall next to it, it is really different from heaven and earth, it is really a lot cleaner.

"Lord Zhao, the new director asks to see you." Taking advantage of the little official's words, Shen Chongming took a quiet look, and saw that the person sitting in the back room was Zhao Qiming and Zhao Langzhong, who had a relationship with each other and used himself as a gunman at the same time.

Shen Chongming couldn't help but wonder, wasn't he a Qing official Shi Langzhong, how could he be transferred to Zhejiang Qing Shi Ren Langzhong. Although the two positions have the same ranks, the power is much worse, and the responsibilities of the Household Department include verifying the affairs of the Thirteen Divisions, which is the boss of the Shanglang.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Langzhong, who looked up, also recognized Shen Chongming, and couldn't help but be surprised, how could it be him?

Although he was surprised in his heart, Zhao Langzhong quickly got up and greeted him, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, I really didn't expect you and me to work together, please come into the room and sit down." ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be Lord Zhao, aren't you a Qing official Si Langzhong, how did you transfer to the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division?" Shen Chongming asked deliberately, he figured out the reason, it must be that this old boy was also cleaned up by the Ouyang Imperial Envoy, it was really unpleasant to have a cycle of karma.

This matter has always been a thorn in Zhao Lang's center, and ordinary people dare not mention it. But Shen Chongming said it, but he was helpless, but his old face turned red and said with a dry smile: "It's okay to do your duty for the imperial court there." Come on, come on, Lord Shen, please take a seat. ”

Although he greeted warmly, Zhao Lang was upside down in the center, and he was surprised by Shen Chongming's identity, originally thinking that he had already been dragged down by Ouyang Du's imperial envoy to accompany Ouyang Fat to the funeral, but he didn't expect this kid to be not only fine, but he was promoted so quickly, it seems that he is a person with a deep background.

The more he thought about it, Zhao Langzhong was also polite. "Lord Shen, the last incident was the negligence of this official, and I apologize to you here. I thought that I would check the account books of the dirty treasury again, but I forgot the rules, if it caused any trouble to Lord Shen, please Haihan."

Shen Chongming is not a person with a small belly, although he was used, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones, but gained a lot of experience, and he should be grateful to Zhao Qiming in detail.

And he was also punished, and now as a boss, he is so polite to himself, there is no need to lose face at all.

"Hehe, Lord Zhao is serious, you and I are dedicated to doing our duty for the court, who dares to trouble us. This time, the customs officer came to serve under you, and I hope that Lord Zhao will mention it more. Shen Chongming smiled and said.

"You're polite, Lord Shen is polite. Don't dare to mention it, at most, I will tell Lord Shen about my experience over the years, hehe. Looking at Shen Chongming's lifeless expression, Zhao Langzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, that's fine, otherwise he won't see him when he looks up in the future, plus this guy has a deep background, it's really enough for him to stand it.

"Lord Shen, since you are here, then the official will first take you to familiarize yourself with the officials of our Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, and it will be easy to do errands in the future." Zhao Langzhong got up and smiled.

"Thank you, then, sir." Shen Chongming hurriedly thanked him.

After a circle, Shen Chongming knew a lot of people and understood a lot of things.

It turns out that the Cleaning Division is not too busy on weekdays. The reason why it is a busy scene now is because the end of autumn is coming, and the collection of autumn taxes is about to begin, and now everyone is busy checking the amount of cultivated land in Zhejiang this year and the taxes that need to be collected, so as to issue indicators for Zhejiang to collect. More is a merit, if it is less, it is not good to do a bad job, and when the Ministry of Officials takes the examination of the Ministry of Public Officials in the coming year, it will focus on taking care of it.

"This errand is really hard, dare to ask Lord Zhao, what should the lower officials do?" Shen Chongming frowned and asked, nod your back, you actually rushed to the household department to work on an errand at such a point in time.

"Lord Shen's errand is very simple, that is, after everyone has calculated all the numbers, you will review it again, if it is correct, it will be sent to Lord Qin, the outside of the staff, and the official is responsible for the third review. If there are some discrepancies, send them back directly for recalculation. Zhao Langzhong said with a nonchalant face.

Shen Chongming smiled bitterly in his heart, it was still the same, the leader moved his mouth, and the little soldier ran and broke his leg.

Idle, Shen Chongming and Zhao Langzhong took a leave, and walked around the household to find Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming, I don't know what kind of errand these two babies are doing, will they be the same as the little officials of the Qing Officials Division?

Zhaomo's location is remote and inconspicuous, Shen Chongming turned around twice before he found out, and when he went in, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The house is not small, but there are few people, except for Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming, who are working hard, they are two small officials in regular clothes.

There are few people in Zhaomo, but there are a lot of errands, and the official documents sent by the household department to various places must be copied by them in two copies, one for archiving and one for distribution. And now it is the eve of taxation, and the task is extremely heavy, so the two of them have not reported to the Hanlin Academy for several days.

"Tsk, so pathetic." Shen Chongming's brows furrowed into a lump, and he sighed with a smack. Maybe he should have come a long time ago, and then he went to the high arch and begged for two errands for them, and it should not be difficult to change two errands for them.

"Yo, Brother Shen, why are you here?" Shi Bingzheng looked up and saw that it was Shen Chongming, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly put down the pen and walked over.

"Hehe, this official announced one thing, this morning I just promoted the seventh grade to serve in the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, acting as the director, and the three of us can be regarded as working together in the future." Shen Chongming couldn't help but say a little proudly, this can't help it, after all, everyone wants to be promoted and get rich.

"Tut, Brother Shen, you are really powerful, the position of the chief is a six-grade person, you are a complete high responsibility." When Wang Siming heard this, he couldn't help but say with envy. Thinking about it again, I am ashamed to hold a position from the eighth rank with the official title of the seventh grade.

"Hehe, Brother Siming is overrated." Shen Chongming said modestly, but he had already seen a trace of envy in the eyes of Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming, and the idea of going through the back door for them was even worse.
