Chapter 62: New Officials Take Office (4)
"That's the work of the four of you, and everything you can say is what the official can say!" Liu Congwen bowed and smiled, "As for some other things, you can come to this official at any time!" ”
"My lord, we are new to the Academy, and we don't understand some of the rules yet." Qin Yi gave his hand, he wanted to understand the rules of the Academy of Literature in detail, these things, Liu Congwen did not mention, "Please also ask the adults to show me, so as not to encounter some embarrassing situations when I deal with things in the future!" ”
The four of them, after all, are editors who work part-time, but the black gauze hat on their heads reminds them at all times that the environment they live in is officialdom, not ordinary life. No matter how small the rank is, even if they have not entered the rank, the environment they are in is different from usual.
Perhaps, it's okay for everyone to be together, joke and relax on weekdays, but if you bring this attitude to officialdom and deal with people, it is a big taboo. Qin Yi's rules actually refer to the points of attention when dealing with people above the officialdom. After all, they are newcomers, and there is still a lot to learn.
Liu Congwen listened to Qin Yi's question, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise upward. This Qin Yi is not ordinarily smart, no wonder, after all, he is a student that Ge Wenqiu is optimistic about, and he won the first place in the college examination. The performance at this time can be regarded as worthy of the name. He could naturally hear Qin Yi's true intentions: "Lord Qin laughed, the Academy of Literature is full of ordinary people-like characters, and there is nothing special about it, so this 'rule' is not too troublesome, everything can be as usual!" ”
His words seemed to be giving Qin Yi some pointers, but it was like stating something, as if telling Qin Yi that the Academy of Literature was not as complicated as he imagined.
"Thank you for your advice!"
"When we first entered the officialdom, we really need to pay attention to many aspects, although the Academy of Literature is only the first official place in our lives, but it is also a real experience!"
Tong Can and the others sighed, they talked about their feelings, and a smug look appeared on their faces. Qin Yi naturally agreed with their words. After all, no matter what, the feeling of the new official taking office is much the same.
Several people chatted for a long time, and it was already noon. During this period, Qin Yi communicated with Tong Can and others about the main part of each other's responsibilities, and after Liu Congwen agreed, it was formulated in the form of a document. Among them, Qin Yi and Tong Can are responsible for going out to collect poetry articles, Shi Ao is responsible for proofreading, and Shan Peng is responsible for sorting out poetry and theories.
However, Qin Yi also has to pay extra attention to Shan Peng's work, although it is to sort out poems, strategies, etc., but after all, there are good and bad. You must know that the people on the list are uneven in level, and they are not as perfect as they imagined. And if some of them don't write well, they will even be deleted after review. Of course, all of this will have to wait for Qin Yi to personally review it before making a decision.
When he went out to collect the poems, Qin Yi also discussed it with everyone, and after Liu Congwen nodded, it was settled. November 10 is the time for Qin Yi and Tong Can to go out to collect poems and articles.
"A few adults, a feast has been arranged in the Academy, and today is the day when your new official takes office, so you should celebrate!" At noon, after all the things were explained, Liu Congwen took the opportunity to give up his hand and made an invitation, "In the future, the compilation of "Baice Collection" will have to rely on a few people!" ”
"Your Excellency is welcome!"
Although Qin Yi and the four of them were polite, they knew in their hearts that this was one of the processes of every official when he took office. The work between each other is arranged first, and then there is a feast, mainly to enable the new officials to have daily communication with their superiors, and then to communicate with the officials in the official system.
In short, on the first day of the new official's appointment, this is the work to be done. Now, it's just the second step.
Liu Congwen listened to a few people doing this, smiled on his lips, waved his hand, and then made a gesture of "please", signaling everyone to go to the banquet together.
And they did not shirk, but went with him. During the banquet, it was naturally five people holding the lamp, communicating with each other, and it was so happy that it was needless to say.
In the afternoon, Qin Yi received his official uniform, and after changing into it, he met with Tong Can and more than a dozen of his subordinates. At the same time, Qin Yi, as the editor-in-chief, also came to the roster of officials under other officials. Compiling the Hundred Ce Collection is not a simple task, and there are many things that need to be done. Therefore, the number of officials to which the four belong is absolutely insufficient, and with Liu Congwen's consent, Qin Yi will choose to transfer officials from other departments.
After all, the compilation of the "Collection of Hundred Strategies" is a major task personally grasped by the Department of Scholars.
Of course, in the roster, there is Zhang Jiu's name. This is indeed Qin Yi's deliberate behavior, not that he has a small belly, but that Qin Yi feels that Zhang Jiu's problem of judging people by their appearance will hinder their editing work in the future. His impression of this person is not good, from the bits and pieces of Zhang Jiu's performance, you can see that this person's character.
You must know that in fact, not all of the people who come to the Academy of Literature are well-dressed, and there are still many children from poor families who are in tattered clothes. If Zhang Jiu is allowed to stay in the position of the chief, I am afraid that many poems and articles from Hanmen's own will not be sent to the Academy of Literature.
It's just that this matter, when Zhang Jiu knew about it, the matter of rearranging his work had already ended. At this time, it was October 21, that is, the second day after Qin Yi took office.
Qin Yi's method of dealing with Zhang Jiu is very simple, don't you like to judge people by their appearance? Then let you modify the character illustrations in "Baice Collection", so that you can see enough of people's appearances!
Although Zhang Jiu's clever style of acting was deeply liked by Liu Congwen, this was a normal work arrangement, and Liu Congwen agreed under Qin Yi's persuasion. What's more, revising character illustrations is far easier than the work done by the chief.
However, the so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, being humiliated by others, it is not necessarily justified in court, you can wait for a while, and then go to fight back openly.
Of course, this job can be regarded as Qin Yi's small punishment for Zhang Jiu. The character illustrations in "Baice Collection" are all fictional, but in fact, some important fragments of the policy theory are expressed in the form of pictures and texts.
Originally, this work was done by a painter among the officials, with Zhang Jiu assisting from the side. And now, the painter has not returned from going out, which means that Zhang Jiu can only be responsible alone.
Unfortunately, the job is simple, but it's restrictive and boring, so much so that repeating the same job can be painful. The work of the chief, although complicated, is more comfortable than this. At least, you don't have to face an old drawing board every day and make corrections and proofreading.
Although Zhang Jiu was dissatisfied and sought Liu Congwen's help many times, Liu Congwen did tell Qin Yi, and even secretly intervened as the power of the head of the court, but Qin Yi refused on the grounds that Zhang Jiu had learned painting art in private school. Although Liu Congwen was dissatisfied in his heart, he also knew that Qin Yi was assigned by his superiors to come to the Academy, and he was extremely optimistic about Ge Wenqiu, so he could only give up.
Therefore, today's Zhang Jiu can only obediently obey Qin Yi's arrangement. He naturally understood what the reason for all this was, but Zhang Jiu could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Moreover, he also understands that when the new official takes office, he is afraid that he will be the first fire burned by Qin Yi, and he will use his work to make an example of the monkey.
You must know that in the Academy of Literature, there are many officials like him Zhang Jiu who like to judge people by their appearance.
