Chapter 342: Officials and Civilians

The bookcase was lined with stacks of copywriters and roster books, occupying almost all the space on the case.

Yang Congyi approached the book case, only to see that there was also a set of green official uniforms and a black yarn on the case, the official uniform was on the bottom, and the black yarn was on the top, which was very neat.

"Secretary Yang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is an official, everything must be in accordance with the rules, official clothes and hats are indispensable, and white clothes can not sit in the office. Forget it today, but remember to wear it tomorrow. Sun Miao reminded after sitting down.

Yang Congyi said: "Thank you." He sat down in a chair behind the bookcase.

put away the official clothes and hats aside, but the books on the bookcase made him a little embarrassed, I don't know if it belongs to the secretary's job and should be seen, or if it is stacked by others at will.

Just when he was in trouble, he only heard Sun Miao say: "Secretary Yang, you can take a look at those documents first, that's what we usually do." ”

Yang Congyi said yes, turned his head to look, but saw that Sun Miao didn't raise his head, he had already lowered his head and was looking at some information, so he didn't say much, and picked up the top document casually, only to see that the cover was written "Shaoxing Twenty Years of Guangyong Army Meritorious Records".

Open it and take a look, it records the meritorious deeds made by each battalion of the Guangyong Army last year, and the meritorious deeds of each battalion are recorded on a single piece or several pieces of paper, a rough flip, this collection of meritorious services of the Guangyong Army is recorded on no less than 30 sheets of paper, and the meritorious deeds recorded on each piece of paper are also very detailed, from the most ordinary non-commissioned officers to the general and deputy general, but all meritorious deeds are clearly written, when and where and what can be done to make meritorious deeds, there is no omission, there are the signatures and fingerprints of the battalion commander on each piece of paper, and finally there is the seal letter of the Guangyong Army.

It took nearly an hour to read the Guangyong Army's meritorious records, Yang Congyi sighed secretly in his heart, if the Xuanwei Army also had such a detailed collection of meritorious achievements, I am afraid that there would be more people who were awarded the title, but unfortunately I didn't understand it before, all the big and small meritorious deeds were only recorded at the level of the team general, so this time the Xuanwei Army was awarded the title and received the favor of the imperial court.

The past is over, it's useless to think so much, and no matter how many meritorious services there have been before, the Xuanwei Army is also a Huiyi escort, no matter how well the merit collection is written, it can't enter the yamen of the front of the palace.

Put down the Guangyong Army's meritorious information, and took another copy, only to see that it read "Shaoxing Twenty Years of Heroic Army Meritorious Records".

Each battalion recorded its own meritorious deeds over the past year, the battalion commander signed his fingerprint, and the commander of the Divine Brave Army stamped his own seal, which was considered to be the completion of verification and recognition of the reported meritorious service.

This collection of meritorious deeds is the same as that of the Guangyong Army, and it is composed of about 30 pieces of paper, and it seems that this Shenyong Army also has more than 20 battalions, and the number of the whole army exceeds 10,000.

After flipping through it casually, Yang Congyi found that most of the information on the book cases were the records of meritorious deeds submitted by various armies last year, and they were almost full of book cases, and it was estimated that there were no less than sixty or seventy copies.

It is absolutely impossible to see these materials outside, not to mention how many command camps there are in the first army, that is, how many troops there are in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that not many people know.

Yang Congyi knew that the books and books on the bookcase in front of him were all classified information, and if he didn't enter the case of the former division of the palace, he should not be able to see so much, nor could he see so completely, from these materials, he could calculate how many forbidden armies and how many command camps there were in the front of the palace, and even know where the command battalions were deployed.

For Yang Congyi, this is a new world, and he wants to swim in it.

The materials that recorded the exploits of each army and battalion slowly flipped through in his hands, and time passed unconsciously.

"Secretary Yang, let's be here today, the office is about to close."

Yang Congyi was suddenly awakened by Sun Miao's words, and he knew that a few hours had already passed.

Looking up, Sun Miao had already gotten up and walked outside the house.

He put down the paperwork in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and then exhaled a long breath, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and then he realized that he hadn't drunk a sip of water for most of the day, and his stomach was too hungry.

Seeing Sun Miao waiting outside the door, he hurriedly took his official clothes and hat and got up and went out.

"Master Sun, I'm delaying your time." Yang Congyi apologized slightly.

Sun Miao said: "It's okay, I'll give you a key another day." With that, he locked the door.

When the two of them walked out of the gate of the temple together, they had not gone far when they saw a carriage coming and stopped in front of them.

The subordinate who led the horse said respectfully: "Master, Madame asked the master to go home early today." ”

Sun Miao snorted, and was about to get into the car a few steps forward, but the next person immediately turned around and took out a small bench from the car and put it under the car, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Secretary Yang, where do you live, do you want to take you for a ride?" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Xiaguan temporarily lives in Qiantang County, the road is far, so it won't bother Master Sun, it's still early, Xiaguan is used to walking, and he can go back while walking." After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted.

Sun Miao said: "Then I'll take the first step." After saying that, he stepped on the small bench and got into the carriage.

The man lowered the curtain, took the horse and turned around, and the carriage soon left the front of the palace.

Yang Congyi stood in front of the door for a moment with his official clothes and hat in his hand, and a few more people came out of the yamen in front of the palace, they ignored Yang Congyi, and Yang Congyi didn't know them.

After greeting each other, they left in a carriage, a sedan chair, or on foot.

After a while, only a sound was heard, and the door of the front of the palace was closed from the inside, and there was no one in the office.

Yang Congyi looked up at the sky, the sun was still early, at least for more than an hour.

Alone in the capital, it can be said that there are no relatives, but fortunately, the way back to the inn is far away, and you can still pass the time.

Four or five miles away, half an hour has been completed, back to the inn just entered the gate, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper saw Yang Congyi holding the black yarn and green official clothes.

The well-informed shopkeeper can see at a glance that this is the form of the seven-grade official, although the seven-grade official is not in Lin'an, almost no one can look at it, but his inn is in Qiantang County, and he has never received any big officials, how can he live in an inn like him as an official in the capital.

The shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and said with a sneer: "It turned out to be Lord Yang, I was so negligent yesterday, and I hope that Lord Yang will forgive me." ”

When Yang Congyi heard this, he felt a little surprised, and when he saw the things in his hand, he suddenly understood, and then replied: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be so polite, this is not in the yamen, in this inn, you are the master, I am the guest, there is nothing to be lazy, how was it before, and how it will be in the future." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "How can this be so, my lord, you are an official or an adult, and the villain is just a small people, how dare you call the master in front of the adult?" ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "You are wrong, the inn is your private property, you are the host, the guests who come to stay are the guests, and I am also the guests who live in the hotel." I live here, and the shopkeeper must not be partial, treat me differently from other guests, and let it be business as usual. With that, he walked upstairs.

The shopkeeper's face changed, he was a little anxious, and he was about to follow, but he heard Yang Congyi say, "Busy with you." ”

After seeing Yang Congyi go upstairs and disappear, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand to summon the man and ordered: "You go upstairs in a while to discuss with the guests in the next room of Lord Yang and ask them to change rooms." In addition, the vacant room next to Lord Yang should not be used by other guests. ”

The guy was puzzled and asked, "Didn't Lord Yang just say that it was the same as yesterday, don't treat it differently?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "You know what, do as I say!" ”

The guy was helpless, who made him not the shopkeeper, so he had to hurry upstairs to do the errand assigned by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and returned to the counter to sit down.

Everyone who is in charge of the world is the same, there is no one who doesn't like other people's sycophants, and no one doesn't like others to be good to them. What is the purpose of being an official? Isn't it power, money, and women? When an official has power, there will naturally be all kinds of sycophants who send money and women, and petty officials will send money to big officials and women, and when the junior officials are promoted to big officials, there will be more people who pat his ass, and naturally get more money and women.

The shopkeeper has not lived in vain for decades, although he has not seen many officials, but he has long seen through the officials, if he is not able to find out the temperament of the official, his small inn will not be able to open in Lin'an City more than ten years ago safe and sound.

Lin'an City is full of officials, and he has summed up some experience over the years, if you want to do business in the city, you must first curry favor with some officials, catch a few rich and powerful lords, and then you can't offend any official, no matter how big or small, because you don't know if he will suddenly take the position of high power and power. In a word, if you can please them, you can please them, and if you can't please them, you must not offend them, and if you please most officials, you may not get any benefits, but as long as you offend officials, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

If you want to gain a foothold in Lin'an, you have to be kind to others.

The shopkeeper understands very well, don't look at Lord Yang is only a seven-rank official now, but as long as you look at his age, you can know that it is definitely not simple to be an official in Lin'an before the age of thirty.

From the fact that Lord Yang was dressed in white yesterday, stayed in the inn, held the official uniform in his hand today, and only came back at the beginning of the unitary time, it can be inferred that he was transferred to Lin'an yesterday and just promoted to his post today. Seeing that he is not generous, he can live in his own inn, obviously not a person with a prominent family, then there is only one possibility, he has outstanding ability and will be reused by the court.

The shopkeeper sat at the counter, thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, this opportunity must be grasped well, once it is missed, there will be no more.

Then he stretched out his hand and summoned another group of people, and ordered: "Go to the county government to find someone to inquire if there is another adult surnamed Yang in Qiantang County." ”

The guy didn't say much, answered and left.

In the first half of his life, he didn't rely on a big official, and he didn't do much business, but now the opportunity is in front of him, the so-called building near the water is the first to get the moon, if you can't catch it, and you can't get this Lord Yang, then it's no wonder that others.

The shopkeeper secretly decided, no matter what, this Lord Yang must climb on!
