Chapter 42: Carrying on a New Mission

Later, Lu Hong learned through Qin Tianmin that the reason why he seemed to have been hit by a big pie this time was that there was a fundamental reason for the existence of the original surname, and the dignified Qing Dynasty had a huge bureaucratic system, but, in fact, only those who had absolute power in their hands were vacant of real officials, which were the most righteous officials were willing to serve.

However, because the military discipline camp was not really recognized by the Manchu high-level in fact, now it is just that the old man Weng is working hard to do this thing again, and because of his position and influence as the emperor's teacher and first assistant, the Guangxu Emperor and the old woman of the West Palace also agreed to supervise the military discipline, this kind of dispatch is likely to be a temporary surname, except for the part of the Qingliu cadres, I am afraid that few people are willing to meddle in this matter...... The above was unhappy that day, and maybe this errand would be cut directly, and Lu Hong, who had been donated, had a practical experience from the six-grade candidate, so he became an unemployed young man.

In fact, the donors who are needed in this era are not valued by those officials who are on the right path to the imperial examination, and they do not have the social status of officials imagined by later generations.

After Qin Tianmin explained carefully to Lu Hong, his suggestion was actually to see if he could let go of a local substantive official by following Huang Tifang's path, instead of this kind of temporary surname and high unemployment risk......

However, Lu Hong didn't seem to have this worry at all, but opened his way, "Brother Qin, this is a very promising errand, although I am not familiar with that Wang Renkan, but I asked Huang Gong in private, this champion Lang's character is very good, and this errand has to be done by someone who can live in the court, but for me, it is like a fish in water, and it is easy to swim, and ...... This is an opportunity for us to make a wide range of contacts, and you and I have to grasp it! ”

Seeing that Lu Hong was bent on taking this official road that seemed to have no money, Qin Tianmin didn't say much, after the two discussed it carefully, he returned to his bedroom, and considering that late at night, he received a telegram from his younger brother Qin Xiaocheng that the small industrial coal mine in Fei County was running very prosperous, but it relieved the worry of the previous debt a little, and although Lu Hong did not find a local errand, but he was full of momentum to rise, he immediately corrected his mentality...... This may be another way out for me.

The next day, Qin Tianmin led Lu Hong to run to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, the silver he spent here before was not in vain, after the silver ticket of 1,200 taels and the profit of 200 taels were made, a letter of the clerk's alternate license from Liupin Zhoutong was quickly in hand, and the clerk of the Ministry of Officials who received the profit sharing here directly told Lu Hong that the documents sent by the Military Discipline Supervision of the Military Aircraft Department had arrived at the Ministry of Officials, and he had already been inscribed by Wang Renkan, and it only took a few days to get the actual license...... Why did Qin Tianmin smile and not say anything when he walked out of the ministry a few days later.

When I went back to explain to Lu Hongyi, I heard that Lu Hong was sweating again, the central system of the entire Manchu Dynasty can be said to be the most concentrated authority in the world, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty lived in Yanjing, at that time, people called the territory under the root of the imperial city "the first good area", the root of the imperial city is naturally the best place in the world, and it is natural that the most powerful and learned people in the world are called "Wang Zuozhishi", and they should gather here.

The problem is that in fact, most of the time, Wang Zuozhi people all over the world love the pun and poetry, or are busy with the old lady in the palace when the officials move around, but the Beijing master who gathers in the hundreds of rivers has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, which has created another power system in Yanjing City - the so-called "Jingmin Sanpin Officials" Yanjing masters!

Those natives, the children of the Eight Banners who eat hardcore crops or the "old Yanjing" masters with hereditary shadows, look down on the road of exams and officials at all, and think that it is tired and does not come to money! They had an easy and wealthy messenger to do: to be a scribe, that is, to be a clerk of the major yamen.

And the scribe of the Great Yanjing, but it is a great power class, speaking of which, in fact, it is just a clerk in the six departments of the capital and the major yamen, and the regular work is to be responsible for the exchange of official documents of the yamen, copying and writing, and also performing some miscellaneous government affairs of the yamen......

And these six departments and the major yamen scribes in their hands, but in the hands of unexpectedly huge power, the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, the wealth of the scribe class, far beyond people's imagination, the so-called three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, for these scribes, is definitely easy to win the livelihood, such as today's Qin Tianmin walk, the yellow flag born scribe Xi Teku, just from Lu Hongban's license can get at least a few hundred taels of income, which has been removed from which part of the officials above him should be taken.

Lu Hongru listened to Qin Tianmin's explanation like listening to a story, and finally smashed his mouth, and looked at Qin Tianmin, this guy tried his best to run the official donation, in comparison, the three masters in Yanjing City are too nourishing, this is really more popular than people......

However, Qin Tianmin was much more dedicated than him, and seeing his strange expression, he didn't pay much attention to it, but reminded: "Brother Lu, Wang Renkan is there, I think let's go over and pay a visit now, he will be your official in the future, and all affairs will have to be taken care of by him, and this entertainment etiquette is indispensable!" ”

This visit to the official, a visit to the door, and by the way, bring some gifts, we will also experience this in later generations, we understand...... Lu Hong smiled slightly, and asked modestly and untimely: "Brother Qin, isn't this Wang Renkan a Qingliu cadre, is this gift also simple and simple......

As soon as these two sentences came out, he saw Qin Tianmin's grinning appearance, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, but fortunately, Qin Tianmin's eyes rolled, touched his neatly repaired short hair, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu has really been studying abroad for too long, in this Qing Dynasty officialdom, the tribute given to Shangguan and the entertainment between colleagues, there are already established rules, these things naturally cannot be included in the list of greed, after all, Shangguan also has the same entertainment, and there are higher levels to visit!" ”

It turns out that it is the rule for his subordinates to send silver, and if they don't give it, they are naturally unruly...... Under careful questioning, he understood a little, in fact, the bigger factor is that in this era, the officials who have been released from all over the country have a huge staff team, and it is impossible for officials to pay for these expenses just by relying on money, rice, and incorruptible silver...... Even famous ministers such as Lin Zexu, Zuo Zongtang, and Zeng Guofan are also following the trend, not to mention Wang Renkan!

And Lu Hong actually had a limited range of communication before, Wu Daxuan was helping to make money as a staff member, so naturally there was no need to give any more gifts, and for Huang Tifang, he was just a protégé, and there was no such officialdom entanglement, not to mention, he was really an official, in fact, it only started today!

In the afternoon, after Qin Tianmin prepared the gifts, Lu Hong went to Wang Renkan's mansion to meet him, the official, in fact, the two had met twice before, but with the current relationship between superiors and subordinates, it was the first time.

After sending the gift list, Wang Renkan accepted it without looking at it, obviously, Lu Hong can be well versed in the way of officialdom, Zhuang Yuanlang's thin face showed an approving expression, not sophisticated, for wanting to integrate into this era, it is definitely not a good thing, he touched a few short beards under his chin, and after some politeness, he quickly got down to business.

"Lu Yunju, I have already entered the palace to meet the emperor today, the emperor is very concerned about this matter, Lang Zhirui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has been ordered to leave Beijing, so we must also make the trip as soon as possible...... Weng Ge Lao, Master Li, and Huang Yushi are all very optimistic about you, you have to think more at ease and do this errand well! Wang Renkan said business, but he put away the previous politeness and changed his face to a serious appearance.

Lu Hong's later generations are also mixed in the army, and the officialdom is also considered to have passed, so he naturally understands what Shangguan needs most, this Wang Renkan has heard Qin Tianmin, Huang Tifang, Huang Shaoji and several people mentioned it before, he was a famous figure all over the world in his early years, and in the clear stream, it was also a deep background, Chen Baochen, the most famous Qingliu cadre outside the four admonitions of the Qingliu back then, is the so-called "tail of the green ox", which is the same name as the "two corners of the green cow" Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Peilun, and it is the brother-in-law of Wang Renkan.

He immediately said sincerely: "Master Wang, this dispatch to rectify military discipline is a matter related to the country's plan, if your lord has orders, I should work diligently!" ”

Seeing Lu Hong's statement, Wang Renkan also nodded with satisfaction, he got up and took out an official document from the bookshelf behind him and put it on the table, "Lu Hong, I have already read the copy you wrote to Lord Weng before, this argument and plan are very new, I have talked to Lord Weng, I am afraid that this trip will be difficult without manpower, the adult authorized 10 attachés, 50 brave soldiers, I heard that you have studied at the Taixi Military Academy, these things, you will do it!" ”

Lu Hong didn't expect to take on such an errand as soon as he came today, after thinking about it, he felt that Wang Renkan was extraordinary, and he could be said to be quite let go, he opened his mouth and asked some detailed questions, but he thought of another thing in his heart, and only then did he leave later.
