According to the regulations, the power to distribute the government of the new science and technology is vested in the ministry, and other ministries cannot express their opinions on such matters or interfere. However, like most of the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, this system has long existed in name only, and after each meeting, around the question of the whereabouts of the Guanzheng Jinshi, there is a trade-off between the various ministries to balance the situation, and finally to reach a conclusion.

At present, each ministry is getting older, and each family has a stall that is not suitable for outsiders to see. Those people who watch politics are not at ease with their own work, and they turn around and leave as a passer-by here, not knowing where to go, and this kind of thing is not beneficial for them to come into contact with. You can't learn anything by learning with a little bit of water, and some people don't know what to do, and they may make a big mess. Therefore, the current Guanzheng Jinshi has long been unpopular with various ministries, and most of them are pushed outward as much as possible.

If you really want to accept it, you must first ask about the relationship between the mountains and which way it is the subordinate of the immortal, and then make a proper disposal of it, and you can't throw a mouse into your rice tank. Moreover, these people have to work in the ministry, and who is suitable for what work, and the total score is clear, so as not to be unworthy. Therefore, in order to fight for a person, or reject a person, it is indispensable to quarrel.

Now that Zhang Ju is in the country, the people of the six ministries quarrel in Zhang's mansion, which is equivalent to fighting for the capital in the Golden Palace, and Xiangguo has made a decision, that is, the case is finalized. Since the location is in Zhang Juzheng's house, although he is afraid of Yuan Weng's authority, it is still more open than on the Golden Palace.

The six Shangshu books have basically not arrived, and they are all the attendants of various ministries and other officials who come to talk about the number. In fact, to put it bluntly, although the books of each ministry are the number one, they may not really focus on the overall work, the real substantive work, or the people below to do it, many things The people below have a fixed opinion, and the above can only recognize.

Compared with Shang Shu, the burden of these Zuo Erguan is smaller, they dare to speak more, and the questions they say are more direct. The first and third people don't have to think about it, and the second and third people are selected and selected, which is not much different from buying vegetables in the vegetable market. For most Jinshi, they lack cognition and can only rely on empirical analysis, but they still have an understanding of some of the more famous ones.

Some of the talents who are famous for their poetry and books on weekdays have a good reputation in the circle, and the bigwigs also appreciate them, and they talk about it in private, and there is no lack of praise for it, but at this time, when the politicians are selected, they are viewed from a completely opposite perspective. On the contrary, some people who are not usually eye-catching are desperately snatched to their side.

This is not surprising, Zhang Juzheng used the examination method to restrain hundreds of officials, and he chased after his work performance very closely, which was different from the work style of the previous dynasty. Originally, hundreds of officials complained about their suffering, but now that the six departments have Guanzheng Jinshi, it is equivalent to more than 200 interns coming in at once, and Zhang Juzheng, a black-hearted supervisor, will naturally not be assessed according to the workload in the past. He didn't care about the actual work ability of these jinshi, and the work tasks of the six departments were increased, which also led to the fact that the six departments could no longer talk about face and human feelings, and they all had to be careful, and they wanted people who could do practical things instead of idlers. Otherwise, the work tasks of those people will have to be shared by the people below, and the boss will have to wait to be scolded.

It was not early, Aguli sent a supper to the front hall, and returned to the embroidery floor where Zhang Shunqing lived. Although it was late, Zhang Shunqing was not sleepy, and sat in front of the lamp with great interest, flipping through the list of scientific scholars. When Aguli came in, she asked, "How's going in the front hall?" ”

"Everybody is arguing. Even the friends who are usually very talkative, such as the old man and the old man, are now quarrelling. It's hard to imagine that such a good friend of theirs would be so noisy that they would blush and cry. ”

"They now represent their own ministries, not themselves, and it is not okay not to fight and fight. If they are considered to be eating inside and out, it will be difficult for them to lead the troops themselves, and when they are transferred to other ministries, they will also fight for the interests of the new ministry. In the final analysis, it depends on which ministry you are in, and you will speak for which department, and several uncles themselves also understand it in their hearts. No matter how fierce the quarrel is today, it won't really hurt the friendship. In fact, in the final analysis, it is still the master who engages in the examination method, forcing everyone to have no choice, if it is like a few years ago, it will be accepted indiscriminately, and it is a big deal to raise it and be idle, and it doesn't matter. Now the Guanzheng Jinshi has to have work to do, and no one can be allowed to release water. By the way, what kind of supper did the lord let you prepare? ”

"Tiger skin. This dim sum lady also likes to eat, and it is said that Fan Gongzi researched it. ”

This tiger skin meat was originally named Dong Meat or Running Oil Meat in the original history, which was invented in the hands of Dong Xiaowan, a famous trick in the late Ming Dynasty, and was made of pork belly with skin and fresh vegetables as the main materials. The skin is wrinkled, hence the name.

Because the oil is cleaned, and the vegetables are used to absorb the oil, the meat is fat but not greasy, sweet and delicious, the oil is bright and smooth, the pattern is like a tiger skin, soft and mellow and fragrant, and the taste belongs to the southern Zhejiang cuisine. It is not very attractive to the indigenous people of Beijing, and it is very appetizing for the bigwigs of Beijing, who are mainly southerners. Therefore, Fan Jin did not teach the Zheng family how to make this dish, but gave it to the chefs of the Zhang family, including Zhang Juzheng, who was quite satisfied with this dish. Aguli mentioned pork belly, which was also a means to praise Fan Jin and please Zhang Shunqing.

Zhang Shunqing frowned, "Tiger skin meat? What are you doing here? Retreat is the second grade, and it is the foundation of Huiyuan, and entering the Hanlin Academy is a sure thing. At present, the imperial court is rebuilding the actual record, and it is impossible not to open the museum to choose, and it is a formality to retreat to which one. The old man brought him up at this time to remind everyone, what does this mean? ”

Aguli smiled: "Miss, I'm afraid that if you care, it will be messy." Maybe the master just thinks the tiger skin meat is delicious, so let everyone try the craft, not as much as you think. ”

"No...... That's what you don't understand. The master never does this kind of meaningless thing, he arranges it like this, it has its own deep meaning, even if he really doesn't, the people below will do everything possible to figure it out and think about it. Could it be that this time, which part of the master really plans to let him go to work? Among the six departments, the officials are powerful, the household department is the richest, and the ritual department is expensive, and any of the three departments is not bad. Although the military department is known as a martial force, it is a place to manage the army after all, and it should not be allowed to retreat there...... Ay? ”

Zhang Shunqing's face changed suddenly, "Oh no." Uncle Sanhu has been boasting about his ability to retreat recently, and has helped him calculate several material problems in the Ministry of Works, so it won't be that the master was moved by him and sent him to the Ministry of Works, right? Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry is the cheapest, dealing with a group of lowly craftsmen all day long, either to repair the mountain mausoleum, or to repair the warehouse hall, what is the interest? If you go to the Ministry of Engineering, you will have to think about what you have learned. ”

Aguli said with a smile: "Miss, I remember that Master Li not only praised Master Fan for helping him solve the problem, but also said that he had an old girl who was still in the boudoir and did not find Ruyi Langjun." Are you afraid that Fan Gongzi will be recruited as a son-in-law when he arrives in the Ministry of Industry? ”

Zhang Shunqing snorted, "I know what the little sister of the Li family looks like, where is she worthy of retreat?" No matter how Fan Lang is, he won't marry the fat girl in his family. Li Sanju, Li Sanju, if you really get the retreat to your Ministry of Engineering, it would be strange if I didn't have a good theory with you, the uncle. ”

Agul pinched her fingers and calculated, "One, two, three...... Miss, you only said five, didn't there be six? I heard what the outside world said about the rich, mighty, and poor, is there still a poor department? ”

"The Ministry of Poverty refers to the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Yan Gongzhi is not a person on the same road as the master, and he has a good relationship with Liu Shibo, and he has become a family member. The master won't put his thoughts on the criminal department, so he doesn't have to think about it at all. ”

Because he had completely let go of Liu Kanzhi in his heart, when it came to the relationship between Yan Qing and the Liu family, Zhang Shunqing said it very naturally, and he couldn't hear anything between the two at all. Seeing her like this, Aguli was also a little relieved in her heart, at least the young lady was still very quick on the issue of the Liu family.

Vestibule.

Since the tiger skin meat was served, the enthusiasm of all departments for Fan Jin has instantly increased. Originally, everyone knew that Fan Jin was talented, and there were people who grabbed it, but the competition between several departments was not fierce. After all, Fan Jin's identity has decided that he is simply a prime minister and a seedling, and he will enter the master of the Hanlin Academy at any time. No matter how big the ability is, he can't stay in the department, and it makes no sense to recruit him again, but at this time, seeing Zhang Juzheng serving tiger skin meat, several people have a number in their hearts. Although some people think that Zhang Juzheng's arrangement is a bit of a violation of the rules, it is actually difficult to say how much he attaches importance to the word rules when he thinks that he even shoehorned his own son into the position of the top of the list.

Lin Shizhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is a native of Fujian, and from the current geopolitical map of the Ming Dynasty, he and Fan Jin are considered to be the large consortium of Fujian and Guangdong, and can even be regarded as a fellow villager, so he said: "Guangzhou is a wharf leading to the sea, I heard that Fan Huisi is no stranger to Fanwu, I don't know if I know about Fanhua." There is just a shortage of manpower in Honglu Temple, and if Fan Jin goes, it may be of great use. ”

Although the Ministry of Rites is known as the Qingshui Yamen, there are also two very fat pieces that others can't take away. One is the income of the Teaching Workshop Division, and the other is to eat foreign guests here in Honglu Temple. Every year, we make a few more sums of money in the reception of foreign affairs, and deduct some food silver from the mouths of foreigners, which is a considerable amount of money. Putting Fan Jin in that position is actually taking care of him, which is not only the due meaning of Datong, but also the face of Shoufu.

Zhang Juzheng did not say anything, the Jiangling faction cadres had exterminated the Nine Silk Barbarians in one fell swoop, and Zeng Xingwu, who was currently the squire of the military department, had already preemptively said: "Bidong, this person has long been wanted by our military department, but it will not let people." He has done a lot of things for our military department, and some important military situations cannot be dealt with for a while, and it will be difficult for us to do it if he leaves it alone at this time. So this person must be put in our military department. ”

Li Youzi is Zhang Juzheng's fellow villager and confidant, he knows the suffering of Jiangling, and wants to recruit Fan Jin to his own door as a son-in-law, which can be called killing two birds with one stone, and hurriedly smiled: "Indeed, you are deceiving people with your words." At present, the four seas are leveling, the Haiyan River is clear, where is the urgent military situation? However, I want to dredge the Jiaoji Second River here, and the calculation of earth and stone materials is complicated, so I need his iron abacus to help us settle the account. The canal is impassable, the materials can't be transported, you can't fight any battles, this person is going to be decided by our Ministry of Industry. ”

"Where this person goes, the ministry has the final say, and the two of you don't decide the matter by yourself. Our ministry is now the most short of people, Fan Huisi is known as the flying pen, if it is in the ministry, one can be used by five people. We have decided to send him to the Anthology Division on an errand to transcribe official resumes. Retreat to the temple to try that handwriting, that's really nothing to say, if he writes a resume for an official, he must be an expert, this person is what our officials want. ”

Zhang Juzheng watched a group of people quarrel and didn't make a statement, in fact, this kind of quarrel is also part of the job, and he can't stop anything. Everyone is arguing and arguing, as long as the quarrel comes out of the way. At this time, seeing several families competing for Fan Jin, only the squire of the Criminal Department, Wang Haoqing, did not say a word. Suddenly, he spoke:

"Xitang, why don't you speak? What is your view on Fan Weisi? ”

Wang Haowen's name is one year lower than Zhang Juzheng, and he is relatively low-key, although he is not considered a Jiangling party, but he will not be able to work against Zhang Juzheng. At this time, seeing his move, he hurriedly said: "Back to Yuan Weng's words." Fan Gongzi is famous, and the lower officials are also admired for a long time. It's just that its talent doesn't lie in the name of the crime, and our criminal department still doesn't take away the beauty of people. ”

"Xitang, you are wrong. Fan Jin was able to win Yakui in Guangzhou, and the person who relied on it was not his scripture, but his judgment. That sentence is really well written, and Yu Da Ming Law is also proficient, most of them have the means of a rural native knife and pen. As you know, students don't read the law nowadays, and they can do the least in the Criminal Department. In the old man's opinion, retreat is the most suitable one to go to the criminal department to observe politics, and it is more useful than others. ”

As soon as he said this, the people who were arguing in the room shut up. Zhang Juzheng's opinion is undoubtedly the final judgment. As soon as he opened his mouth to express his position, it was meaningless for the arguments of the various families.

Wang Hao asked, "Then, what does Yuan Weng mean ......?"

"The old man seems that it is better to let Fan enter the criminal department. The old man also knows that the burden of your criminal department is very heavy, but after all, you are responsible for the approval of cases all over the world, and once there is any negligence on the part of the criminal department, innocent people will suffer. I can't take this burden off for you, and I can't take it off. I have to send more elite soldiers and strong generals to give you a little more strength. I think it's appropriate. I also know what you are worried about, but now the students are angry, and their eyes are only focused on the Hanlin Academy, and they are not willing to do practice. The six-part view of politics has gradually been reduced to going through the motions and responding to the story. In the long run, our officials will not be able to do practical work, and when they go to the local level, they will not be able to do anything, and the officials of the court will become useless decorations. In the long run, the people of the country will be bad. From the beginning of this subject, the old man has to set rules for them, and all those who do not do well in the six ministries of government will not be able to participate in the museum election, and they will be treated equally. So Xitang, don't worry, if Fan Jin is only concerned about the selection of the hall and doesn't take it seriously, the old man will also deal with him again. ”

Zhang Ju said so, and Fan Jin's whereabouts were decided. Even if everyone present was a confidant such as Wang Guoguang, they couldn't guess his intentions. Only Zhang Juzheng knows in his own heart, Fan Jin's quick knife is used to cut people, and it hurts to cut anyone. Yan Qing belongs to the Qingliu people, he is not in tune with himself, his body is very upright, and he basically can't find anything wrong, even if he controls the way of speech, it is difficult to do anything to him. But there is nothing wrong with Yan Qing, it doesn't mean that there is nothing wrong with the Criminal Department, send Fan Jin over to make trouble, and if he sends a member of the fierce general to ride into battle alone, and wait for the Criminal Department to really make a mess, see if Yan Qing can still be as high as he is now.

The plan in his heart has been set a long time ago, but his face is quiet, in Fan Jin's arrangement, it is not only a killer move, but also a warning to Fan Jin: Don't think that if you are the foundation of the second-class Chuanhui Yuan, I can't stop you from entering the Hanlin Academy. Whether it can be successfully entered into the value or not, in the end, Zhang has the final say, and he should be smart and know what to do.

Limited by geographical distance and speed of news transmission, Zhang Juzheng at this time only knew that Fan Jin's construction ability was very strong and his work ability was excellent, which was enough to be called a sharp edge. But they don't know how destructive it is, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged it like this. It wasn't until soon after, after Fan Jin's ability in this area was revealed, that Zhang Juzheng realized what serious consequences his arrangement had brought about.
