"Kneeling below, but Nanshan Academy Zhenguan Seven Years, Chen Qiaosheng, a graduate of the Department of Civil Engineering?" There was a heartfelt question in the hall.

Chen Qiaosheng bowed slightly, and replied slowly: "The lower official is exact, I don't know what the adults command?" ”

I saw the gray-robed old man sitting on the seat of the county magistrate stroked his beard, and asked in a somewhat appreciative tone: "This official asks you, the twelve stone arch bridges around Lantian County, as well as the two newly built cement roads, are they all from your hands?" ”

Hearing the old man's inquiry, the young man named Chen Qiaosheng seemed to have heard something extremely glorious, straightened up, and said proudly: "Back to Shangguan, Lantian County, Linpu, Cui Yi, Qingwen, Chenxin and other twelve stone arch bridges are indeed from the hands of Xia Guan, since then, all roads in Lantian have been unimpeded, and after the test of several years, it has been proved that the stone arch bridge designed by the minister is indeed durable, enough to reassure the people. ”

The gray-robed old man nodded, "What you said, the official also knows it, the official summoned you this time because you have worked hard and hard over the years, and I want to give you a chance." ”

Chen Qiaosheng didn't know who the old man in front of him was, but judging from the attitude of the county lord sitting on the side, he must be a great official.

Chen Qiaosheng raised his head and said gently: "Shangguan can afford to do some small things in Xiaguan, which is the glory of Xiaguan, but Xiaguan feels that it is also excellent to pave the way for the villagers to build bridges in Lantian County, I don't know where Shangguan wants to transfer the villain?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction, the students of the academy are not the same as the students of Guozijian, this difference is from the bottom of his bones. I can't put it into words. Like now. If it is a scholar who has graduated from the Guozijian and is an official, when he hears that he is going to give him a chance, he will definitely be excited, kowtow and thank him, while the students of Nanshan Academy will not show too much excitement and excitement, they will use their heads to think about where they are going and what they are going to do.

"There is now a vacancy in the DPRK for the post of Secretary of Prison, and I would like to recommend you to take up the post. What do you think? The gray-robed old man said with a somewhat playful smile.

Chen Qiaosheng was already stunned at this time, not only he was stunned, but even the county magistrate and all the officials were stunned.

Although the general is not a high-ranking supervisor, he is still an official position in the lower five grades, which is compared with the master of the county government, and his identity is simply a heaven and an underground.

"Shangguan, you said that the prison secretary will be the prisoner?" Chen Qiaosheng repeated it again with some disbelief.

"Yes." The gray-robed old man smiled faintly, "Do you have the confidence to take on the role?" ”

"This ......" Chen Qiaosheng was a little overwhelmed, this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing made him a little dizzy.

The old man didn't seem to pay attention to the young man's expression and lowered his head. He took care of himself and flipped out a dossier, and said as he flipped through it: "Chen Qiaosheng." During the school, he won the first prize of the "Calligraphy Competition" once, the "Campus Invention Award" once, and the "Outstanding Student Scholarship" once. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his head and said to the young man: "This is the information hidden in the national archives three years ago, the purpose is to use three years to train you at the grassroots level, so that you can have face-to-face contact with the people, and truly understand the people's suffering. ”

Chen Qiaosheng was speechless with excitement at this time, his eyes were swollen with tears of excitement, when he graduated, one of his roommates in the dormitory was assigned to various places to serve as some petty officials with low positions, although they could not communicate often, but they also often exchanged letters in private, after graduating from Nanshan Academy, they all had a pride in their hearts, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm to serve the country.

But after graduation, they found that the official positions arranged for them by the imperial court were all low-level petty officials, and they didn't even have the Qipin county officials in the imperial examination, and they had no rights at hand, and they naturally had nowhere to vent their enthusiasm for serving the country.

But disappointment is disappointment, life still has to go on, the optimistic spirit learned from the academy guides them, "It is gold that will always shine, as long as you continue to improve yourself, I am born to be useful, one day, you will get a chance, get a chance to change your fate." ”

This is what Xu Yangzai, the judge of the academy, said at their graduation ceremony, and it is also the belief that encourages the scholars of Nanshan Academy to persist in the face of the cruel reality. "It gave them hope and strength in the long night.

At this moment, such an opportunity to change their fate has finally come, their three years of conscientious work at the grassroots level have not been in vain, their efforts, their struggles, are not unknown, the organization has not forgotten them, the country has not abandoned them, His Majesty is actually paying attention to them all the time......

"Xiaguan Chen Qiaosheng is willing to take up the post of secretary of supervision ...... prison......

The anti-corruption storm in the court began, as if it was an order, the list of all the corrupt personnel announced by Li Er at the court meeting, in the surprised eyes of hundreds of officials, those rich and powerful people who were famous in the past and had a lot of wealth in the court, all of a sudden became prisoners in the court, and in a wail, they were pulled down the hall by the executive officer.

Li Er's face was stern, and his voice was cold: "At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the previous generation was Sui, do you know how Sui died?" It's those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the villagers who are fish and meat! Now, as the economy of our Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, and the commodities are becoming more and more diverse, some officials have gradually begun to put pleasure in the first place, and have forgotten all the oaths they made when they founded the country, or they have opened their own factories to illegally collect money, or they have used bribes to make money by virtue of their positions, all of which are to drag my country into the abyss! Li Er's voice was low, no longer the excitement he had when he reprimanded Eldest Sun Wuji that day, but he could still hear his dissatisfaction.

None of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dared to stand up to refute Li Er's words, and with the prosperity of the commodity economy, it took only five years for the Tang Dynasty to develop to such a stage, and extravagance became the norm, and the officials never returned to the incorruptibility of the past.

Li Er sat on the main hall and said in a straight tone: "These corrupt officials, their positions, I have prepared a new batch of officials, presumably tomorrow, Zhong Aiqing will be able to see a group of new faces in this court!" ”…… (To be continued......)
