For the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although they will not be replaced, once they offend the officials with deep backgrounds, they will really be found in the wrong place, and finally they will be deposed or even moved to some corner of the world. After all, they have to move their nests after the nine-year examination, this is the ancestral system, and they are just the officials in charge of the official department who used the money to make money, so that they can occupy the position of a good yamen like the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a long time. Because of this, Wang Fulin is not only notorious, but now he is also the master of Guangdong Dao, compared to those newcomers who have no foundation just transferred, everyone in Guangdong Dao knows which side to stand on.

Therefore, even though Wang Fulin had just summoned a group of people to take office, and it was Zheng Yougui, a non-economic official, who was chosen to serve by his side, but they did not dare to complain at all, let alone be lazy. Even without special orders, some people reported the words and deeds of Wang Jiguang and other newcomers. No matter where they went in the Metropolitan Procuratorate or who they met, Wang Fulin knew everything about sitting in the room.

Although Wang Fulin felt funny about the chain reaction brought about by his fame, since he could facilitate his own work, he was happy to see it happen.

At the end of the month, the documents of the various yamen of the Canton Provincial Supervision Department who had completed their affairs were sent one after another, and several new officials who had taken up the probationary posts took the copies of the examination books that had been assigned to them, and began to check the books against those official documents that had been sent. To say that this work seems to be very simple, the following says that it has been completed, and you directly write off the account, even if it is completed, but who doesn't know, under the test method of Lord Shoufu. If it is completed, the evaluation will be repaid, and if it is not completed, it will be punished and demoted at every turn! What's more, in case people don't finish it, they let others live with a big wave. In retrospect, I have to take responsibility and be unlucky.

Therefore, among the five new trial history, when they feel very tricky, the methods adopted are different. Some people secretly asked the officials about the past precedents, and some people humbly asked the seniors of other provinces for advice, but some people found Wang Fulin directly. It was Ma Chaoyang who came to see Wang Fulin, but he was ten years older than Wang Fulin, and at this moment, he directly submitted an official document sent by Ying Tianfu. Then he said: "On the bottom book of Ying Tianfu, it was written that this month should be 6,500 taels in arrears, and the official document sent said that it had been paid to Taicang, but I personally went to the Guangdong Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs and said that there was no such thing. ”

Hearing Ma Chaoyang say that he went to the household department in person, Wang Fulin nodded approvingly and said, "You are really dutiful." In this way, either the official document sent by Tianfu to the household department is delayed, or the official document sent by Yingtianfu to reply to the examination is different from the facts. But. This alone is not enough to infer this. This time, the three imperial histories who are on duty in the south of Zhili patrol. In addition to one of the admirals' schools, there is the imperial history of Hokkien and Nam Dao, and I will write to you, you go to Hokkien Dao and Nam Dao, and check the palindrome of the two inspectors for this month, and see if there is any mention of it. If not. instructed Ying Tianfu to send a copy of the Taicang palindrome print. ”

Seeing that Wang Fulin began to write the note while speaking, Ma Chaoyang immediately understood that Wang Fulin was afraid that his words would be unsubstantiated, and Fujian Province and Henan Province would prevaricate, so he directly wrote the book. He is serious about what he does. Now that I met a boss who was also careful, I naturally felt that this trip was not in vain, and immediately responded: "The lower official understands." ”

As soon as Ma Chaoyang left, Wang Fulin saw someone poking his head outside. I remember that Zheng Yougui went to the Pavilion Library to get the brush rolls and those examples, he shouldn't have come back so soon, and he won't be so sneaky after he comes back, so he raised his voice and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

"Master Dao, it's small."

What flashed in outside the door was a fresh face that Wang Fulin had never seen. After the visitor entered the house, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed without saying a word, and then said with a smile: "The little one is Hu Quan, the capital official, who has always served at the head of the general constitution." ”

The so-called capital officials, and the Governor's Mansion Zongren Mansion in those first-grade yamen, only the sixth department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate such as the second-grade yamen are qualified to set up, which can be regarded as the culmination of the small officials, after the completion of the nine-year examination, there are from the seventh grade, but few people are willing to give up the position of the capital official for that background. Wang Fulin is not a hall official, and Hu Quan does not belong to Guangdong Dao, so it is indeed the first time he has seen it, but he has still seen the roster roughly, and he remembers this person. At this moment, he nodded and said with a smile: "Get up and speak, since you are the person next to Lord Zongxian, you don't need to be so polite in the future." What is coming today? ”

"That's the case, today Master Qin, the head of Huguang Dao, went to see Lord Zongxian and talked about the excess of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Master Qin said that since the dynasty, the number of officials has often been reduced on the grounds that there are too many officials, but now they are cutting more and more. Each province belongs, and there are as few as six or seven serious economic officials, and as many as eight or nine people, but there are still non-economic officials, so it is natural to go up and reiterate the old sanctions. In particular, the proliferation of non-economic officials must not be tolerated. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Quan peeked at Wang Fulin's expression and found that he couldn't see any joy or anger, so he licked his lips and said in a low voice: "Although Lord Zongxian is noncommittal, looking at Master Qin's appearance, maybe he will go directly to the book." The little one thought that Master Wang had picked Zheng Yougui's attendant before, and he came to say hello. ”

"You've got a heart." Wang Fulin responded calmly, but when Hu Quan retreated and turned to the door, he suddenly said, "Remember that you have a nephew who works in Shanxi Road, and it seems that he is also a white-clothed clerk?" ”

Hu Quan was about to step out of the threshold with one foot, and when he heard this, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell out directly. He easily stabilized his body, and he didn't have time to think about how Wang Fulin could understand so clearly, so he quickly turned around, and hurriedly returned to Wang Fulin, but he knelt down again with a plop, and said with a frightened face: "It's a small selfishness, but the thirteen ways of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, plus the miscellaneous places such as the Pavilion Library, the white-clothed bookstore has sixty or seventy, if it is really dismissed by Master Qin, I don't know how many people want to drink the northwest wind, so ......"

"So you came to me? There are so many imperial histories in the Imperial Procuratorate, why don't you know to find others? ”

Wang Fulin asked sharply, and Hu Quan was even more bitter in his heart, and finally simply said with his heart sideways: "The old men who serve the emperor have always been dismissive of the officials, and they have come and gone. I never asked anything else, but after the lord took office, he not only asked about the division of labor, but also put Zheng Yougui by his side, and I heard that he also said that he should not be afraid of the people, and I think he really did not treat our officials as sluts. So the little one heard this from the side of the general constitution. After thinking about it, I really couldn't think of anyone from the other realms who would speak for us officials, so I had the courage to ask to see the master. It is the small one who should not have a heart before, and he should be tempted by Zheng Yougui, and the small one should be damned. ”

Seeing that Hu Quan banged his head twice, Wang Fulin took a sip, and then said angrily: "I broke my head and went out from me, do you want people to say that I have no one in my eyes, and I don't even pay attention to the officials who are waiting around Lord Zongxian?" ”

Hu Quan didn't expect Wang Fulin to even think of this stubble. Only then did he straighten his waist. Don't look at him as a capital official, among the nearly 100 officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are also a number of figures, but the difference between officials and officials is like heaven and earth, if it is really a person like the head of the imperial history, and it involves these insignificant officials, he is really not sure that he can keep his nephew who has no officials. After all, he cultivates people as if they were successors. But it is completely impossible to hand over the position of the capital official directly to his nephew, and once he goes out of this door, he still wants to come in. That's basically impossible.

Wang Fulin ignored Hu Quan, who was stunned, but pondered on his own. Historically, which dynasty and generation have streamlined their institutions at every turn, but the comeback will only be more violent, and the redundant officials are only because there are too many monks and too little porridge, and they can't accommodate those Jinshiju people who have passed the imperial examination. Redundancy, on the other hand, is entirely due to the lack of a mobile bureaucracy system. Look at those officials who have a dry seventh- or eighth-grade background after completing the examination, but they can't find an official and a half-position at all, you can know that smart people will definitely choose to occupy a seat and not move their nests, so a clerk will work in a yamen for a lifetime. This is not surprising.

Isn't that the case in Shexian County? Who in the third class and six rooms will never leave if they don't occupy a seat?

But the most important thing is that now these officials of the Six Ministries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate still know how to do things after leaving the officials? How many of those heavy clerical tasks were done by the officials themselves? Especially in the household department, if you leave those officials who are good at arithmetic, all those officials will cry! What else is it called, why don't you know that you have streamlined yourself?

Wang Fulin knew in his heart that Hu Quan came to find him, and it was indeed not without purpose. Zhang Juzheng had to press him in the Imperial Procuratorate, and simply wiped out all the imperial histories of Guangdong Province, so that he, a young man, sat directly on the throne of the imperial history of the province, others did not dare to be angry and dare not speak, but there must be a lot of people who secretly watched the jokes, and this time this move was obviously aimed at him. Therefore, after a long silence, he spoke: "After you go out, you don't have to find someone to hit the wooden clock, I will take care of this matter." ”

Hu Quan originally thought that Wang Fulin would definitely have to pretend to take Qiao, and it may not be known whether he agreed in the end or not, but he didn't expect that after exposing his true purpose, this young master of the imperial history would directly take over the big package! Surprised and delighted, he couldn't care so much, and hurriedly kowtowed twice in a row and said: "Thank you, little one, Master Wang, no matter what the matter ends up with, thank you to all the white-clothed bookstores on behalf of the little one!" ”

But before he could get up, he saw that Wang Fulin had already stood up from behind the case, but he walked straight out. After he was stunned for a moment, he got up, chased after him and asked, "Master Wang, is this going out?" ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and I'll go to see Lord Chief." Seeing that Hu Quandeng was stunned, Wang Fulin said with a smile, "What, are you still worried about letting people know that I learned this news from you?" ”

Oops, how can this excessively young master of the Imperial History be so cunning!

When Hu Quan reacted and chased out the door, Wang Fulin had already gone out and secretly complained about his distress. Even if Wang Fulin really fought this matter in front of Chen Zan in front of Zuodu Yushi Chen Zhan, it was of course to win a way out for all the white-clothed bookstores, but Wang Fulin earned a lot of favors, but he was unlucky, once he knew that he was coming to ask Wang Fulin for help, then how could Qin Yiming, the head of Huguang Dao, not hate him?

In this way, no one will believe him even if he says that he didn't get on Wang Fulin's boat!

While wailing in his heart that he was stealing chickens and rice, he had to follow closely, and after seeing Wang Fulin enter Chen Zhan's lobby, he finally died.

has come to this point, I hope Wang Fulin will be able to succeed, otherwise he has already offended Qin Yiming, but he will have to bear the consequences of his nephew's possible dismissal!

Of course, Wang Fulin knew that Hu Quan would be nervously waiting for news outside, but he didn't plan to put such a "trivial" thing at the forefront. After meeting Chen Zhan, the top boss, he first reported on the situation of the five newcomers in Guangdong Province, of course, there were criticisms and praises, and everyone's focus was by no means the same, and there was no meaning of harmony at all. Among them, Ma Chaoyang, who had just come to see before, got his key comments. After saying this, seeing Chen Zhan's expression was obviously more satisfied, he changed his words.

"Lord Zongxian, I heard that Qin Yiming, the head of Huguang Dao, came to mention the reduction of the white-clothed book of the Metropolitan Procuratorate today?"

"You're well-informed." Chen Zan was slightly surprised, and then lowered his face and said, "Did someone go to your side to blow the wind in your ears?" Qin Yiming also said before, the one you pick to serve by your side is a white-clothed bookstore. ”

"Qin Zhangdao is very concerned about my affairs." Wang Fulin raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "As for the one who came to me to blow the wind in his ears, of course it wasn't the white-clothed bookstore I picked, he was a small character, and he didn't report God so quickly, it was the official Hu Quan, and he had a nephew who worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

Wang Fulin didn't care whether Hu Quan, who was outside, would be disillusioned when he heard that he had confessed him directly, and he was not afraid of Chen Zhan's sharp gaze, and said calmly: "Reducing these non-economic officials, in the short term, the public expenditure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be much less, and the personnel will indeed be reduced." However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been reduced, the six ministries have not been reduced, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has not been reduced, and other departments such as the General Administration Department of Dali Temple have not been reduced? Pull a hair and move the whole body, how many of these non-economic officials are there in the major cities of the capital? So many people have no place to live, and being dismissed like this is equivalent to hundreds or thousands of more idlers on the streets! ”

If Wang Fulin used other reasons to persuade Chen Zhan, such as officials who were not familiar with affairs, these petty officials were indispensable, such as Chen Zhan, a gentleman of science who looked down on Xu Zan, would definitely scoff at him, but Wang Fulin used the words of idlers as a starting point, and Chen Zan fell silent. Moreover, Wang Fulin said while the iron was hot: "And if this group of people have no life, they have all stayed in the major yamen for many years, and when the time comes, they will be outside to solicit lawsuits, talk about favors, and can do anything. ”

"Moreover, rather than restricting them by laying them off, it would be better to establish strict regulations to regulate their work. Although these people also have evaluations, they are often superficial, especially non-economic officials, because they are not within the jurisdiction of serious officials, let alone any investigation. Since Qin Zhangdao was distressed by the bloated officials, why not let Huguangdao be in charge of the investigation of the non-economic officials of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”

Chen Zan is not a three-year-old child, hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally said angrily: "You just pulled down the next Palm Dao Imperial History, and now you plan to pull down another one?" You said that you want to investigate, then I will leave this matter to you Cantonese Dao. As for Qin Yiming, I will give orders to go down. ”

"If Qin Zhangdao insists on going his own way, what if he insists on suggesting this matter?"

Chen Zan finally became angry, and said in a deep voice: "My old man is not so stupid and incompetent that he can't even suppress this kind of formation!" Isn't it a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood and the rule of the country, and he dares to go his own way? You don't toss me less, settle down! ”
