Chapter 126: Eye drops
May 10th, Mao Shi.
Su Tiancheng took Su Ertong, Su Jun, Wang Dazhi and many nursing homes to the Nanjing Ministry of Officials.
The officials of the six departments in Nanjing, every morning to go to the mao, nothing to do, so they each went to busy their own affairs, or to find a way to find money, stay in the six departments, there is nothing to do, can insist on chatting in the office, even if it is good, although the chief also emphasized, but no one abides, everyone is blind to one eye.
Su Tiancheng knew these circumstances, he had to go to the ministry as soon as possible, and it was best to go when it was time to order.
This is the rule of taking office, first report to the Ministry of Officials, and then go to Ying Tianfu.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Officials, after Su Tiancheng handed over the documents, someone immediately led him to the Ministry of Officials to inspect and seal the Officials Division.
Su Tiancheng's registration is also very simple, according to the usual practice, after the officials inspect and seal the documents of the Officials Division, the records are kept for storage, which is conducive to future assessments.
The officials of the Ministry of Officials were very polite, and the registration and inspection and other matters were done very quickly, Su Tiancheng almost did not wait, and the procedures were completed as soon as they were completed.
Yingtianfu Yamen is also in Shangyuan County, not far from the Ministry of Officials, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.
Outside the yamen of the Tianfu Mansion, the style is much better, two stone lions are guarding the gate of the house on the left and right, it looks majestic, at the door of the ya, there are sergeants standing on the left and right, on the right side of the ya, there is a big drum, the so-called drumming is to beat this big drum, however, looking at the four fierce and vicious sergeants, ordinary people dare not beat this drum, and the officials are also willing to have no one to beat the drum, more than one thing is better than one less thing.
Yingtianfu Yamen, is the so-called Jingshi Yamen, the big drum at the door is very special, the rest of the Fuzhou counties are not, this is also because the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, sympathetic to the peasants, allowed the peasants to go to the Beijing Division, beat the drum to complain about grievances, this tradition, preserved, the Yingtianfu Yamen gate in the capital, there are also such drums.
The sergeant read the paperwork, ran into the yamen, and went to report the situation.
A few minutes later, an official in a green robe and a black veil on his head came out.
"Xiaguan Ying Tianfu Governor Zheng Keyou, I am here to welcome you, Lord Su, please come with me."
The governor of Ying Tianfu is an official from the eighth grade, and most of the things that are sent to him are the governor's responsibility.
Su Tiancheng paid attention to Zheng Keyou, who was about thirty years old, he seemed very shrewd and flexible, and when he looked at people with a pair of eyes, he always blinked a little.
Ying Tianfu Mansion, and most of the bureaucratic yamen is not much different, into the mansion gate, a long road, facing the instrument gate, entering the instrument gate, is still the ring stone workshop.
After the ring stone workshop, it is the lobby, the difference is that the left and right sides of the lobby, there are cross-courtyards, the cross-courtyard on the left side is the location of the official hall, which is used to entertain bosses and officials, the cross-courtyard on the right belongs to the office space of the six rooms of the government office, behind the lobby, there is a row of wings, and the back of the wings is the second hall
Lord Fu Yin usually works in this place.
As for the three halls, a separate courtyard, and the family members of Lord Fu Yin are all inside.
Zheng Keyou took Su Tiancheng and walked directly towards the second hall.
As for Su Tiancheng's entourage, they were all waiting at the Yin Hotel next to the entrance gate.
Walking to the door of the second hall, Zheng Keyou opened his mouth loudly to report.
"My lord, the lower official leads the magistrate of Jiangning County, Lord Su Tiancheng, to get up and report today."
"Zhilu Dao, you go and get busy, Lord Su, please come in."
The voice was full of majesty and full of grandeur.
After entering the house, Su Tiancheng saw clearly that the adult who was sitting should be over or close to fifty years old, with a thin face, a wisp of goatee, wearing a scarlet official robe, the complement on his chest was a peacock, and the belt around his waist was golden.
This is Lord Wang Daozhi of Fu Yin, Wang Daozhi Chongzhen has been the Yin of Ying Tianfu for three years, almost two years. His predecessor was the famous Donglin Party member Liu Zongzhou.
After the development, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Wang Daozhi was transferred to serve as the head of the household, and for thirteen years, he served as the imperial envoy of the capital.
"Xiaguan Su Tiancheng pays a visit to Lord Wang."
Wang Daozhi stood up.
"Master Su, the official document of the Ministry of Officials has already been received by the government office."
Wang Daozhi's tone is not bad, although it has a businesslike flavor.
Su Tiancheng took out the text of the ministry from his arms, that is, his own letter of appointment, and handed it to Wang Daozhi.
"Master Su, since you are already the magistrate of Jiangning County, the official has something to say, so he will say it directly."
"The lower officials listen to the teachings of the adults."
Su Tiancheng was respectful on the surface, but he was muttering in his heart, when the new officials took office, most of them were polite, and when the words of encouragement came out, they were also smiling.
"Jiangning County is in an important position, it has always been valued by the imperial court, you are favored by the emperor, as the magistrate of the county, you must be diligent and diligent, not the slightest slack, the ugly words of the official are in front, if you find favoritism, corruption and perversion of the law, this official is sure to impeach you to the court, when necessary, this official will also be in a hurry to take off your black hat."
Su Tiancheng is even more strange, Wang Daozhi is why would he say this, not to mention that he has never dealt with him, even if he says something, who is to scare, you don't have the right to take off my black yarn, my black yarn was given by the emperor, and the emperor has such power, if I make a mistake, you can say this again.
"The subordinate officials must be diligent in government affairs."
"Master Su, this official heard that you arrived in Nanjing on the sixth day of the new year, these days, why don't you live in the official post."
Su Tiancheng blinked, thinking of Tang Haitai and Tang Shiji, could it be that Tang Haitai gave himself eye drops, no matter what, going to the Qinhuai River, it is still a bit of a loss of face.
Of course, Tang Haitai is not qualified to speak in front of Wang Daozhi, but Tang Shiji can say it.
Could it be that Tang Shiji's reputation for honesty is also boasted by later generations, what kind of virtue his nephew is, he doesn't know what to do, the new official, does not understand in detail, listens to biased beliefs, and rashly suggests, this is by no means a wise move.
It's all speculation, though.
"Xia Guan lives in the Juxian Inn."
"I must have gone to Nanjing City, looked around, how did I feel?"
It was really calculated, Su Tiancheng already understood.
"Xiaguan has been to the Qinhuai River, to the tenth floor of Jiangdong, and has also gone to the street to have a look."
Wang Dao looked at Su Tiancheng directly, he couldn't imagine that this young man was so straightforward, for a while, he didn't know what Lu Dao said, but his impression of Su Tiancheng was also much better.
Although Tang Shiji has a slight whisper, he still won't completely obey it, Su Tiancheng is very famous.
Not to mention the two poems above the Taihe Palace, it is said that as the eye of the palace test, he did not enter the noble Hanlin Academy, and was directly released to Jiangning County, which is the first time in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, there are other reasons, Wang Daozhi will not say.
"Lord Su, as an official of the imperial court, it is better to concentrate on official affairs, you are the leader of the palace, you are expected by the public, pay attention to your words and deeds."
Wang Dao said these words directly, Su Tiancheng would not be silent, after all, he had an unusual experience, in front of his boss, he would definitely not be able to make promises. Since someone puts eye drops on it, if you don't stimulate the other party in turn, you're too sorry for your IQ.
Besides, Wang Daozhi is also a member of the so-called Donglin Party, although he does not have a lot of contact with Donglin students, and his daily focus is also on handling official business.
"The teachings of the adults, the lower officials have remembered them, but the lower officials have some different opinions."
"Well, where did you start?"
Wang Daozhi was a little unhappy, although you Su Tiancheng is the eye of the palace test, and the emperor also values it, but when a new official takes office, he must not be arrogant.
"Xiaguan must do his best to deal with government affairs and live up to the expectations of adults, however, Xiaguan thinks that to the Qinhuai River and the tenth floor of Jiangdong, it is also to observe the people's feelings, Xiaguan has gained a lot in the past few days, when he was in Qinhuaihe, he met the four sons of Donglin, and the ambassador of the Ministry of Banknotes and Paper Bureau, Lord Tang Haitai, when he was not in office, he discussed it, and he knew that some situations were told, and Xiaguan always thought that it was difficult to handle government affairs while sitting and talking."
Su Tiancheng's words, Wang Daozhi, who is well versed in the way of officialdom, how can he not understand.
He suddenly felt that the emperor attached great importance to this Su Tiancheng, not for no reason.
"Hehe, for the official for one term, for the benefit of one party, this is the duty of our officials, you can have such an understanding, regardless of right or wrong, the idea is commendable, okay, you sit down and talk."
At this time, Su Tiancheng remembered that he had been standing and talking all along.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Daozhi spoke again.
"Master Su, I won't say much about the situation in Jiangning County, Jiangnan is a rich land, you can understand the specific situation soon, since you have been released here, you must have some ways of governance, I want to hear it."
Su Tiancheng was a little annoyed, it seems that there is more than one person who has put eye drops on it.
"The lower officials are young, they have no experience in governance, and they still want to learn more, and the adults asked here, and they are also concerned about the lower officials, and the lower officials think that the focus of governance is the people's livelihood, only when the people are rich, live and work in peace and contentment, and the rest of the things are easy to deal with, and the lower officials are more looking forward to getting the guidance of adults."
Wang Dao looked at Su Tiancheng directly, but did not speak, such an answer was too general.
Su Tiancheng also understood that such an answer was a bit perfunctory, but he wouldn't say more.
"The lower officials think that the acting government affairs, the focus is to say less and do more, and make real achievements, the lower officials have not yet understood the situation, and rashly said some ways to do so, I am afraid that there is something inappropriate, the lower officials' thoughts, I don't know if the road is appropriate, and please teach the adults."
Wang Dao looked at Su Tiancheng directly, and only smiled bitterly, this Su Tiancheng, who was young, taught himself a lesson, and did not say anything about it, but instead mocked those exaggerated practices.
