Chapter 131: The Troubles of Being an Official

Seeing this, the owners of these people also hurriedly got out of the car, and while scolding their servants, they came forward to say good things to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang's face was pale: "Didn't you hear it?" What I just said is the order of my family, you all go back, my family will not see you. ”

These people hurriedly stuffed things into Ji Chang's hands again, this time it was not a silver ingot, but a silver ticket.

Ji Chang put his hands behind his back as if he was afraid of getting his hands burned, but he knew that he couldn't tolerate his subordinates accepting bribes.

"Don't waste your efforts. Your lord's words are commands, so what's the use of you telling me this? ”

These people have all green faces, regret to die, the rafters that come out of the first rot, the first shot of the bird, how can these old adages be forgotten. Why are you a good bird?

Ginger is old and spicy, and the maxim is also good for the old, the older the better, this truth must be remembered in the future, a painful lesson, a bloody lesson.

begging to no avail, I had to leave disappointed, leaving tears in my wake.

Nima, is it easy to ask for a job, and almost got into trouble, blame these blind minions. The people sitting in the car held their breath one by one, ready to go back and take the picky minions to open the knife.

It is said that the prime minister's porter is the seventh official, and the most taboo and most offended to visit the big people are these porters and housekeepers, once offended, this door will be closed to you forever, and you have no place to reason.

In fact, the prime minister's gatehouse is more than the seven-grade official cow in the capital, and the seven-grade official can be a county order when put on the ground, which is a veritable soil emperor, but in the capital, the dogs are too lazy to bite them, and they can throw a brick at will, and they can smash several seven-grade officials, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are as many as dogs.

And these bigwigs who occupy the key places have much fewer porters and housekeepers, ordinary people can't see them at all, when Yan Song was in charge, his housekeepers usually came and went with court officials, and they were called Mr. Yan, and the family property also had more than 200,000 taels of silver, which was enough for a housekeeper.

Yan Song's house was raided and only more than 300,000 taels of silver were copied, and Emperor Jiajing was furious and asked the provinces to strictly investigate Yan Song's property deposited in various places, and it was not done later. In the end, Yan Song starved to death on the ancestral grave, and these properties did not surface, so it is always a mystery how much Yan Song has property and whether he has deposited assets in various places.

Ji Chang is now a butler, and he is a six-rank official of the imperial court, and it is said that Zhang Juzheng's porter and housekeeper are not court officials, which is a benefit of military attachés, but civil officials do not.

The most exaggerated porter is Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty, several of his porters ignore the visiting scholars, imperial history or something, these civil officials can't stand it, and sue Zuo Zongtang, let him rectify the family style, can't let the minions be so pretending to be powerful, despising the court officials.

Zuo Zongtang said Okay, when you go, I will ask them to apologize to you one by one.

These civil officials went according to the appointed day, but they were all dumbfounded, and the porters of Zuo Zongtang were wearing the official uniforms of the first and second grades of the imperial court.

Zuo Zongtang told the civil officials that these people were born and died on the battlefield, and made great contributions to the imperial court, and obtained the first and second rank military attache official positions by virtue of their merits, but because the number of officials was too many monks and few porridges, there was no place to settle them, so they had to be wronged to guard the gate.

From this, it can be seen that the porter can also go to heaven, and in addition, he can also know how difficult it is to get a real shortage, and Zuo Zongtang can't find a real shortage for his subordinates, so he can only keep a large number of heroes with officials and no duties at home.

Moreover, the sudden increase in popularity here was because Marquis Wu Ding went to the military department that day to find out the holy decree about the sixth guard of Jinyi, and it turned out that this place was according to the establishment of the commander of the envoys, and it suddenly became an infinitely rich and delicious fat in everyone's eyes, so everyone rushed to come over to find a job.

Originally, I thought that this was just a guard establishment, so the personnel were limited, and the grade would not be very high, but now it is different, and the specifications of the entire organization have been increased by several levels.

Today is the first batch to come, they are the first to get the news, weigh the pros and cons, and resolutely come to apply for jobs. Although it is good, if you accidentally step into the whirlpool of political struggle in the imperial court, it may be a big disaster, which is why many people are still waiting and watching.

Inside, Xiao Nier was still yelling to hurry up and send the people in front of the door away, otherwise the door would not be able to go out.

Besides, he smiled: "I'll send them away in a while, but it's probably like this these days, if you want to avoid the impossible completely, let's get used to it slowly." I really don't want to go from the front, so I go through the back door. ”

He came to the front, and a guard who was a porter came with a brass plate with a stack of prayer stickers on it.

Moreover, sitting in the hall of the first entrance, looking at these prayer posts, each worship post is also sandwiched with a gift list, and the production of the gift list is also exquisite and full of tricks.

Besides, if he doesn't look at those gift lists, he is not ready to accept gifts at all, but look at these prayer posts, many of them have great origins, and they are not easy to offend.

Of course, he won't accept people, and he won't accept gifts, so how not to offend people and send people away is a technical job.

His initial idea was to return all the prayers and lists, and send them away, so that he could not see them.

However, he still restrained this impulse, understanding that now that he is an official, the life of a talented man without an official may be gone forever, and since he has become an official, he has to bear the hardships of being an official and act according to the rules of officialdom.

In the past, when he went to Zhang Juzheng's house, he always saw a long line of people waiting to be summoned outside, and he felt sympathy for Zhang Juzheng.

I didn't expect him to be the same now.

"Let them in in the order in which they were prayed." Besides, he commanded.

So it's like in the waiting room, everyone in the queue is called in first, but they don't come to see a doctor, they come to apply for a job.

It is said that job hunting should be in the yamen, but these people all understand that it is too stupid to go to the yamen to find a job, how to give gifts in the yamen? Asking you to go to the yamen is a disguised prevarication. Besides, it wasn't arranged in this way, because I didn't want to offend these people.

He met with these people, almost a pattern, greeting, greeting each other, serving tea, and then saying a few words of admiration and the like, and finally returning the gift list, saying that he was new to his career, and he did not dare to accept gifts, even if it was a meeting gift, the first article of the emperor's new policy is to put an end to corruption.

Then he asked these people to take him to greet the people behind them, those who were scruples, and he summoned these people to actually give face to the people behind them.

He was so busy until midnight that he didn't even eat dinner, and he didn't have a good cup of tea, after all, when he summoned these people, letting people drink tea meant driving away customers, and he had to endure it.

"Is this an official or a crime." In the back kitchen, she asked the cooks to heat up the food over and over again, muttering distressedly.

"Madam, this is the atmosphere that only exists in the family of a senior official, this is a good thing." A girl said excitedly.

"What a good thing, whoever envy will do it, our family doesn't envy this, it's enough to live peacefully and peacefully." Xiao Nier said.

Not only is it not uncommon for her to be envious, but she also knows that she is the most annoying about this, but this is the way things in the world, what do you annoy and what is biased, others look at the vigorous, they are drooling with envy, and only she knows the troubles and hardships here.

"Finally got someone to leave." Besides, in the end, I was almost paralyzed, not physically tired, but mentally tired.

"It's just tonight, there could be more people tomorrow night, and it will continue to be for a while." Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile.

"Simply, I won't come back, just sleep in the yamen." Besides, bet on the airway.

"That's useless, you're just hiding in a rat hole, and they'll be able to find you. If these people really can't afford to offend, take it, anyway, there are a lot of establishments. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"Take it? Don't you look at them like they are capable of doing things? "Besides, I'm annoyed.

"Not necessarily, you don't look like a doer." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

Besides, he smiled and touched his head, yes, he turned out to be a chic and uninhibited genius character, who is a person who does things, and he was forced to have no choice but to catch ducks on the shelves, but he also came up.

"There may not be no talent among these people, but there is a lack of officials, so there is no place for use, and they usually stay at home, and there is nowhere to show their talents. According to me, if it doesn't work, recruit more, and then assess, and the assessment will be eliminated naturally, so that everyone can accept it. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"Do you want to train and evaluate officials?" Besides, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in my head, and this seemed to be a solution.

"Of course, do you think that the officials appointed by the imperial court are not evaluated? It's wrong, it's just that the imperial court's assessment of officials is the business of the ministry, and they combine all aspects of the officials' talents and qualifications, which will lead to the most suitable official position for a person. Of course, there is also the performance and moral evaluation of officials in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is also a hard indicator of the standard of officials. ”

"What about us? What are our hard indicators? Besides, he asked.

"That is, to be able to lead soldiers, to lead good soldiers, and then to be able to fight tough battles, to win battles, and to be loyal." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"Yes, you said a lot, think about what you just said, and draw up a detailed assessment rule." Besides, he commanded.

"Me again?" Zhou Dingcheng is gone, it is enough to make his own suggestions, why let him bear the dirty work?

"Why do I have to do these little things myself?" Besides, the court officials who have been pretending to be in the middle of the night are not pretending, even if he is now, he really feels something.

"Yes, your boss, you have the say." Zhou Dingcheng is convinced, there is no way, he is miserable.

"That's it, Lord Ben should rest, no, his grandmother's, Lord Ben hasn't eaten yet, come on, pass food to Lord Ben."
