Although the Hanlin official is noble, but the grade is low, imagine a seventh- or eighth-grade official, suddenly promoted to the first level of Langzhong, the head of the first level, and become a five- or sixth-grade official with real power, anyone will feel very abrupt. Therefore, before being promoted, he will first be transferred to Zhan Shifu, and serve as officials such as Zhongyun and Zanshan on the left and right, and it is more logical to raise the grade first.

When it comes to the development from low-level officials to middle-level officials, they will be promoted to the left and right concubines, and the left and right Yude, because these official positions are subordinate to the left and right Chunfang, so it is also called "Kaifang".

Usually, before entering the ministry level, they will also be promoted to Zhan Shi or Shao Zhan Shi, for the same reason as above. There is also a situation, that is, it is at the level of the ministry and is appointed as a bachelor of Hanlin, so congratulations, this is the precursor to entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister, the fast is less than half a year, and the slow one or two years, as long as there is no problem, you can be respected by others as "Pavilion Elder".

"So...... Congratulations, after the opening of the workshop, it will be reused by His Majesty! Wang Shimao said with a smile, but looking around, no one responded, he scratched his head, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Xu Wei said angrily: "Of course it's wrong, it's still a big mistake, it's already the right of the fourth grade, and it's also a great contribution, if you are promoted to the third grade of Zhan Shi, and then transferred to the squire or deputy imperial envoy, it's quite reasonable, but only the four grades are given to the little Zhan Shi, the grade remains the same, but the power has become zero, which is reused!" It is simply not up but down. ”

"I see." Wang Shimao expressed deep sympathy and said to himself: "No wonder! ”

Tang Yi said with a calm face: "What's the wonder? Cousin, do you think I'm angry about this? ”

"Anything else?" Wang Shimao asked stupidly.

Tang Yi smiled lightly, "At the moment, I really don't care if I am promoted or not, the two ends have already been killed, and now the Shangshu waiter on the table will be in a year or two." I don't know how many times I have to change it! With so many empty positions, I can't grab one? ”

This is domineering, but it is also true, a fourth-grade official in his early twenties, even if he has qualifications, as long as he does not make mistakes. It can also boil the people in front of you to death.

Then again, it's hard to make mistakes.

Xu Wei thought so, and said with a smile: "It's good to figure it out, in fact, you did climb too high before, it's just right to slow down, although Shao Zhan is not good, but you can attack and retreat, and you can defend it, and you can easily do it." It's still pretty good. ”

Wang Shimao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Xu Wenchang, you have said both positive and negative words, no wonder your skin is getting thicker and thicker!" ”

"Wang Jingmei, your skin is tight, do you want to taste your fist?" Xu Wei was about to fight, but Cao Zichao hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Brother Wen, haven't you said anything angry yet?" ”

He reminded the big guy with this. They all came together.

"Alas, don't mention it. That dead bull nose dared to blackmail me, he really treated me like a face! ”

……

Time went back to yesterday, Tang Yi came out of Yuxi Palace, and met two little Taoist priests, called him to the Showa Palace, and Wang Taoist smiled heavily. It's completely different from the arrogance just now.

He pulled Tang Yi to sit opposite, and served a cup of red robe. Tang Yi didn't want to offend the villain, so he said a few words, thinking that he would deal with the past, but how did he know that Wang Daoist actually opened his mouth.

He said that the money managed by the city director was enough for most of the imperial court to spend. Lord Tang must have a lot of money, and they assisted His Majesty in his cultivation, and they worked hard, even damaging the Dao Foundation, and they couldn't soar in their lifetime. As a courtier of His Majesty, shouldn't you say it?

It's not much, he asked Tang Yi for 500,000 taels of silver, and then, he also said that Shenquan is in his Taoist temple, and it is very inconvenient for His Majesty to transport it every day, so let Tang Yi help build a straight road to Fangshan County......

"How can it be!"

Cao Zichao slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "The demon path is really rampant!" He doesn't pee and take pictures, and he dares to speak out about what he is. ”

Xu Wei bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Dog urine moss grows in the Jinluan Palace, and people occupy a good position, it's useless for you to be angry." ”

"Then Your Majesty will be at his mercy?" Cao Zichao was unconvinced.

"Maybe." Wang Shimao said: "Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal in order to see Qionghua, our majesty, for the sake of divine water, it is nothing to build a straight road." ”

As soon as these words came out, he suddenly found that the three of them were looking at him with strange eyes.

"What are you doing, am I not right?"

Xu Wei shook his head and said: "Jingmei, I really don't know whether to congratulate you on your IQ, or to remind you to have a guard on your lips, don't say anything." ”

"Aren't they all my own people!" Wang Shimao muttered, and lowered his head in fright.

Tang Yi did a lot of things like this, but it was the first time that Daoist Wang encountered it, and he gave 100,000 taels, which was already a high price, and he was shameless, and increased it to 500,000 taels, maybe 1 million taels or 2 million taels next time...... Even if you have money, you can't fill this bottomless pit!

As for building straights, it's even more bastard. Fangshan is in the northwest of the capital, with mountains and hills all over the world, and river valleys are vertical and horizontal, which may not be a problem in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, build a straight road down, don't even think about a million taels of silver.

Tang Yi finally understood, why Jiajing always felt that the country was not enough, good guy, the money was spent like this, it was really distressing!

One million taels, a hundred thousand troops for a year is enough, just for the sake of bullshit divine water, it will be spent. Tang Yi's heart was bleeding, and he suddenly felt an urge to kill people in a fit of rage!

Lao Tzu worked hard, worked hard, and increased his income by millions of taels, but it was wasted by the lightness, it was really a cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed, hateful, hateful!

A mere Wang Laodao, relying on His Majesty's favor, dared to bully himself like this, if he didn't give him a little bit of power, he would not be a casual cat or dog in the future, and he would dare to run to his head to and pee.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

The more Tang Yi thought about it, the more angry he became, a ball of fire was shrouded in his body, and the three people around him clearly felt his murderous aura. Xu Wei shrank in fright, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't be impulsive, Daoist Wang has His Majesty's favor, and it's not worth it to annoy Your Majesty for him." ”

"Hahaha!" Tang Yi suddenly smiled: "Senior Brother Wen, what kind of favor is Daoist Wang, it's just relying on 'divine water', smart as Senior Brother Wen, do you really believe it?" ”

The three of them were stunned, Xu Wei scratched his head, "Okay, I really don't believe that there is divine water, but this matter is really strange, I have secretly seen it, and it is true that there are people doing it every day, and spring water will flow out of the stone wall, and there are heavy mountains and mountains all around, and it is impossible to fake...... Do you know the origin of the divine water? ”

"I don't dare to say I know, but I have some speculation." Tang Yi got up and led them to the library pavilion.

Although Tang Yi had just moved to the capital, before leaving, he had already sent several batches of books over, Tang Yi looked around and found a box of books brought from Quanzhou.

Unfolded the lid of the box, flipped through it for a long time, found a yellowed ancient book, and threw it in front of Xu Wei.

Cao Zichao and Wang Shimao both squeezed over and looked carefully. Flipped to the middle position, Xu Wei suddenly slapped his thigh, "Shunchang County, there is a jade dragon spitting water in the platform mountain, the sound is like a flood bell, once a time, the sound is like thunder, the spring is like a torrent, and in a moment, the spring water is gone, and everyone in the world calls it strange......"

This is a travelogue, written is the geyser in Shunchang County, it will erupt once every hour, and the time of each eruption is about two quarters of an hour.

The local people initially thought it was divine water, and even some people tasted it personally, but the spring water had a strong pungent taste, which was difficult to swallow, and stayed in the spring for a long time, and it would be dizzy, vomiting, and even coma.

When he saw this record, Tang Yi almost laughed, it was not the poisonous gas of the Dragon Lord at all, but sulfur gas.

The so-called "Jade Dragon Spit Water" is a geyser, in an area where the volcano is active, the underground magma is like a furnace, and if there is an empty chamber filled with groundwater in the stratum above the magma, the magma will heat the groundwater until it boils, and it will rush down the cracks in the rock to the ground, forming a fountain.

When the groundwater is spewed out, the surrounding cold water flows into the ground, reheats it, and sprays it out. To put it bluntly, it's like a natural pot, constantly boiling pot after pot of water.

And the time to boil the water is the intermittent period of the fountain.

Since it is volcanic magmatic activity, it is not surprising that when it erupts, it carries a large amount of sulfur gas.

It took Tang Yi almost an hour to reluctantly explain the cause of the geyser to them, and Xu Wei was stupid to hear it.

"Obediently, okay, you are really a pedant, you even know this!"

Wang Shimao is also a little star with full eyes, and he worships it to the extreme. Only Cao Zichao's mind was quite calm, "Brother Xing, you said that the spring water smells of sulfur, which is difficult to swallow." Why is what Wang Daoist found clear and sweet, this doesn't make sense? ”

Tang Yi also nodded, "The world is so big, there are no surprises, but I dare to say that it must not be some divine water, it is just a coincidence." ”

Several people's scientific spirit was bursting, and they all shouted to see what was going on.

The next day, Tang Yi changed into a half-new cotton robe, rode a little donkey, came out of the house in a dashing manner, and after meeting with a few brothers, he went straight to Fangshan.

Out of the capital, the little donkey was happy, and in a group of donkeys, the smallest was the smallest, but the fastest runner. To say that the worst thing is the one carrying Xu Wei, the big fat man is on top of two, bending the waist of the donkey, screaming bitterly, making everyone laugh so much that they almost lose their breath.

At this time, a flower donkey of about the same size suddenly ran from behind, passed by the little donkey, suddenly opened his mouth, snorted, bit the ear of the little donkey, and looked back again, even Tang Yi felt provocative, the little donkey didn't do it now.

The donkey's temper came up, and he chased after it, Tang Yi couldn't stop it, so he could only hold his neck and let it chase down, and in an instant, the two donkeys and the two donkey riders became two black spots on the road and disappeared from sight...... (To be continued.) )
