Chapter 257: A New Official Takes Office

"The tattoo has finally become an official, and he is also a dignified county master!" Old※

After getting the letter of appointment from the ministry, Sun Dan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Although he is not a jinshi now, once he is appointed, he can be regarded as an official of the imperial court, and he has finally blended into the system.

Sun Dan didn't encounter any trouble on the side of the ministry, after all, he was an old friend of Qiao Yu, the secretary of the ministry. When they met, they shouted "Old Joe". When you are in a good mood, shout "Master Joe." ”

At the beginning of the net, Qiao Yu heard Sun Dan call himself Master Qiao, and he was very angry, and said: "Jingyuan, you are forgetful of the New Year, what kind of master is not a master, but it seems to be angry." ”

Sun Dan smiled and said, "In our hometown, Master Qiao is not a good name. There is a saying that asks Master Qiao to get on the sedan chair. ”

Qiao Yu was puzzled, and Sun Dan told him the allusion to Master Qiao's dagger.

"Master Qiao on the Sedan Car" is a famous modern movie, the story is about Sheng Qiaoxi taking a boat to Beijing to catch the exam, on the way to visit a famous mountain temple in the south of the Yangtze River. Met Lan Xiuying, the lady of Tianguan Mansion. The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other. Xiuying's brother Lan Musi often relies on his father's power and acts recklessly. He saw that Huang Lijuan, the daughter of the Huang family, was young and beautiful. I want to rob my relatives. The mother and daughter of the Huang family fled after hearing the news and stayed in an inn. Lan Musi led people to chase the sedan chair to the inn, and instructed the family to ambush all around and act after dawn.

Qiao Xi lost his way after traveling to the mountain, couldn't find the boat, and was penniless, and saw an empty sedan car parked in front of the inn. Then he entered the sedan car to rest. Because it was dark and couldn't see clearly, the family mistook Qiao Xi for Miss Huang and carried her home. Qiao Xi heard them whispering in the sedan chair. I knew that I was treated as a yellow girl, so in order to avoid the weak girl from suffering, I made a plan, changed into a sedan chair woman's clothes, and dressed as a "bride" and let them carry them back to the Blue Mansion.

Hearing Sun Dan finish telling this story, Qiao Yu laughed: "Jingyuan, I heard that you often help Zhan Jiaban write dramas, this must be a new play written by you, and you have time to show me the book." Haha, Jingyuan, Jingyuan, you must have used me as a character prototype. I think I was born as a dignified scholar, and I was framed by you for a romantic affair, I am really wronged! Sun Dan smiled secretly in his heart: You Qiao Yu don't say it. I can't remember this yet. Last time, you came with Yang Shen to earn me, and we are not welcome, and you will have the reputation of a wanderer, which can be regarded as a bad thing

Finish.

There's no story on the part of the ministry. Sun Dan went to receive the appointment as a matter of routine. The only thing that made him feel a little dissatisfied was that the officials were too powerful in their work, and their attitude was very rude. I didn't have a good face when I saw the local officials.

The six branches are just a six-grade official, but the shelves are huge, and it can be said that no one will be given face.

Sun Dan saw that a governor from Guangxi who came to Beijing to report on his work was reprimanded by a small matter from the Ministry of Officials, and his face was red, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The dignified officials of the frontier also dared to scold loudly, and the six things that Zhu Yuanzhang set up at the beginning were not ordinary

Road.

Qiao Yu also knew the fame here, and he was afraid that Sun Dan would suffer a loss, so he personally accompanied Sun Dan to run up and down. The officials of the Ministry of Officials were greatly surprised. A small lifter. was actually received by Lord Shangshu in person, who is this person sacred?

When I asked, I learned that it was Sun Dan and Sun Jingyuan. Only then did everyone suddenly realize. An emperor-level person is naturally worthy of Shangshu to accompany him personally.

Coincidentally, Sun Dan actually met Chen Rong in the ministry.

Chen Xiucai is a relative of Queen Chen. He also gained fame. He also knows that with his own ability, he should not talk about Jinshi in the future, but he is afraid that he may not be able to win it together with Jinshi. Through the queen's door, I came to the ministry to report to see if I could make up for a vacancy.

Generally speaking, Xiucai has to fill the real job, and I don't know how many years it will take. Short three years and five years. Long ten years and eight years. Not only does it take time, but it also takes a lot of money.

However, with the relationship between Chen, of course, it is made up immediately, and there is no need to wait.

When Chen Ge saw Sun Dan, he shouted happily: "Mr. Jingyuan, I can see you, I miss you so much." ”

Sun Dan: "It turned out to be Shuzhi, you kid, you disappeared after being lifted, and I don't know where you ran these days." This meeting. You actually came to the ministry to fill the vacancy. ”

Chen Jie was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "Ashamed, ashamed, Chen Jiezhong was called by the queen to meet once." Mother's care. Let me make up for the overseer of the Thirteen Warehouse Yamen. ”

"Ah, you're an official in Jingcang, that's a fat shortage!" Sun Dan was a little surprised, the so-called Thirteen Cangs is actually the common name of Jingcang for ordinary people. It is under the management of the Ministry of Households, and it is an important place in the national warehouse. There are 11 warehouses of Lumi, Nanxin, Jiutai, Haihai, Beixin, Fuxin, Xingping, Taiping, Chuji, Benyu and Wilmar, plus Tongzhou Zhongcang and Xicang, a total of 13 warehouses.

The supervision grade of the thirteen warehouses is very low, that is, the seventh and eighth grades. But because this position is very oily and watery, not half of the people can get in.

Sun Dan didn't expect Chen Rong to be able to get such an oily official position with a small lifter, he sneered: "Shuzhi, you are also a poor person, after entering the Thirteen Warehouses, it is enough for you to eat a little loss every year." That's right. Which warehouse are you going to? ”

"It's the rice barn in the city. It's not the queen's pity to be able to get this messenger. Chen Rong said: "Chen has read the words of the sage all his life. When he takes office, he must definitely be a clean and good official. So as not to embarrass the mother. ”

Sun Dan smiled and didn't say much. It is difficult to be a clean official, if Chen Jiezhen is so clear that he can't do anything about it, and Sun Dan knows that every meter of storage and storage in the Lumi warehouse is outsourced to the children of the powerful in Beijing. Eating and losing every year is enough for those children to make a lot of money. Chen received such an overseer, even if he didn't do anything, hundreds of taels of filial piety would be sent every month. When the time comes, he will not accept it. If he accepts it, he will naturally not be able to do it, and if he does not accept it, he will offend the powerful, and he will not be able to do it as an official.

It seems that being a man cannot be dead-hearted. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, there is no need to be too serious in the subsections. Just like Zhang Juzheng in later generations, he is also very greedy, but because he has made a great career in the cabinet auxiliary position, he is also a generation of bright ministers. One of his whips helped the imperial court survive the financial crisis, and at least continued the Ming Dynasty's national fortune for fifty years.

Sun Dan doesn't want to be a clean official like Hai Rui who is so poor that he can't do anything, he is a man like Zhang Juzheng, with a big handle in his hand, benefiting hundreds of millions of people, and being rich and glorious for a lifetime. These Sun Dan naturally wouldn't say to Chen Geduo that being an official and doing things is a kind of knowledge, and it needs to be pondered slowly in practice.

He probably told Chen Jian that he was going to Fangshan to be the magistrate of the county, and was about to leave, but Chen Rong stopped Sun Dan: "Jingyuan, if you don't say it, I forgot one thing." ”

Sun Dan: "What's the matter?" ”

"The queen asked me to bring you a word." Chen Gun probably didn't understand how the queen knew about Sun Dan and why she said such a thing. When she said this, she looked puzzled: "Niangniang said, thank you for helping her some time ago, if you have time, please ask Mr. Sun to meet her." ”

Sun Dan couldn't figure out what the queen needed to thank herself, and said, "I am a foreign minister, and I can't enter the forbidden middle school." ”

Chen Ge: "Niangniang also said that Jingyuan has always been in Xiyuan. She also often goes to Xiyuan to serve the Son of Heaven, and may have the opportunity to meet. ”

Sun Dan thought about it, and then remembered that since Zhengde's death, the leopard house has been deserted. The emperor intended to make a slight calculation of that place, so that it would be a good way to cool off.

It's just that now the emperor has no money on hand. In addition, it was winter again, so there was no rush to start construction.

"If there is a chance, Sun Dan will naturally go to see His Majesty and Niangniang."

The two talked for a long time, and Sun Dan said goodbye and went home.

After returning home, it is natural to pack up and rest at home for the night.

The second day was about four o'clock in the morning. Sun Dan took Feng Zhen, Sun Hao and Shanxi merchant Shi Wanquan out of the capital together.

Because of the urgency of time, the four of them did not make a car, and they all rode fast horses.

Sun Dan also rode horses in the capital this year, and his riding skills were okay. Feng Zhen was originally a military man, and he was naturally good at riding. As for Shi Wanquan, the Yunzhong area of Shanxi is a horse-producing area, and he has grown up on horseback since he was a child, and he runs fast as soon as he gets on the horse. On the contrary, Sun Hao was a little miserable and ran for dozens of miles. My buttocks were swollen and I couldn't stop screaming in pain.

When the sky was hazy, Sun Dan saw that Sun Hao couldn't stand it, so he had to get off the horse and summon everyone to rest for a while.

Sun Hao was full of filial piety, and his expression was a little lonely. Sun Dan comforted him a few words, and threw him a book written by Yang Shengang, which made him feel better. Sun Hao went to Fangshan with Sun Dan this time, and served as Sun Dan's criminal ward, in charge of criminal investigation and public security in a county, with a salary of two taels of silver per month, plus Sun Dan's month, he could support his mother.

Everyone ran for half the night, and they were all tired, so they drank a few sips of water and ate something on the grass before they regained their strength.

Shi Wanquan smiled bitterly on his thighs: "Mr. Jingyuan, what kind of money can you have in a place like Fangshan where birds don't, and you dragged me out of the city early in the morning, and my old bones will be scattered." ”

Sun smiled lightly: "If you go, you'll know, anyway, you will let Boss Shi make money." My Sun Dan has a thousand ways to make you rich, why, you still don't believe me? ”

Shi Wanquan: "If it were someone else, I would naturally not believe it, but if it was Mr. Jingyuan, Shi Wanquan would accompany him even if it was the end of the earth." There is a saying in the capital: the places where Sun Jingyuan walked were paved with gold. ”

Sun smiled lightly: "I'm not an immortal. Can you turn a stone into gold? ”

Shi Wanquan: "Mr. Jingyuan is the golden finger in the Beijing business district. But the villain is stupid and still doesn't understand. Although the population in Fangshan is large, the land is small, and most of it is concentrated in the hands of a few big families. There are no minerals in the mountains, so what can be the way to make money? ”

Sun Dan: "It's good to have more people, more people are also a fortune, you don't need to ask more, you'll know when the time comes." By the way, a few days ago, I asked Sun Jia to go to Fangshan to inspect first, and when we got to the ground, we asked her to come over to understand the situation. ”

A few people were talking and laughing, and suddenly, a large group of people jumped out of the woods next to them: "Do it!" ”

A large net was thrown over, just covering Feng Zhen and Sun Hao on their heads.

Feng Zhen and Sun Hao are tall and big, and they are powerful characters at first glance, because this group of people restrained these two people as soon as they made a move. Sun Dan looked like a weak scholar, Shi Wanquan was white and fat, and at first glance, he had no combat effectiveness, so he was naturally let go by that group of people.

Poor Feng Zhen was originally a boxing master, and Sun Hao was also a brave and ruthless person, but he was covered by a net and couldn't move.

Seeing that the two were subdued, the group of people shouted at the same time: "Catch the villain, catch the villain!" ”

"Whoa!" With a bang, dozens of villagers armed with hoes and sticks surrounded Sun Dan and Shi Wanquan.
