Chapter 233: Rules

As a prisoner, he served as the governor of the Shaanxi Governor Yamen, although it was only from the official rank of the eighth grade, but it was already very good, you must know that many prisoners of Guozijian, because there was no position arrangement, eventually returned home, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli should be said to be satisfied, but unfortunately the idea of the two was still too high, they originally thought that they could stay in the capital, because they felt that they could rely on Wen Zhenmeng, the second assistant of the cabinet, and it was nothing to arrange to do things in the capital.

When they came to Xi'an Fucheng, the two of them were quite conscientious in doing things, and Zheng Xunrui came to Xi'an Fucheng, the first thing was to rectify the rule of officials, which also surprised the two of them at the same time, they were more careful, but don't be punished by Zheng Xunrui because of something not done well, it is not cost-effective.

However, the special identities of the two still attracted the attention of other officials.

Soon there was a group of officials around the two, especially the officials, wardens and clerks of the sixth room of the governor's yamen, who would invite the two of them out to eat and drink after the rest every day, and occasionally they would go to the gambling house and the green house to shop.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are mostly not refused, after resting every day, they have nothing to do, and their families are no longer around, going out to eat, drink and have fun, it is not a big deal, just enter the Qinglou, the two dare not **, at most they drink flower wine, cheap hands and feet, you must know that their lady is Zheng Xunrui's own sister, if Zheng Xunrui knows that the two of them are **, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

This is also because of Zheng Xunrui's leading role, since the accident in Qinhuaihe, Zheng Xunrui has completely changed, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in terms of personal character, he never goes to the Qinglou, and he goes home to accompany his family after taking a break every day.

Slowly, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli also felt embarrassed, they always invited them to eat and drink, and they didn't invite others, which was unreasonable, but their salaries were not high, they didn't have much silver, and the food and accommodation were all covered by the governor's yamen, and the money for going out was not enough.

You must know that this official completely depends on the Yulu to feed, it is almost impossible, the Ming officials' Yulu is pitifully low, the monthly Yulu of the Qipin Zhixian County is five taels of silver, from the governor of the eighth grade, it is the Yulu of four taels and two dollars of silver, which is not enough to buy a stone of grain, and the price of eating, drinking and having fun in Xi'an Fucheng is not very low, not to mention that the officials have to feed their families, to hire people, to rent or buy houses, just relying on Yulu, then they have to beg for food.

Even Hai Rui, the most famous Qing official in the Ming Dynasty, has more than just income.

The income of the officials in other aspects is much higher than that of the Yulu, needless to say, the offerings on the surface are needless to say, but the income in the secret is varied, the prefect, the governor and the county and other chief officials, there are more sources, the gentry and wealthy households, taxes, etc., are the sources of their income, as for the rest of the adjutants, there are also methods, the chief official is impossible to do everything, and it is impossible to seize all the power, always have to divide some power, then the part that the adjutant is responsible for becomes the source of income.

The income of the black industry chain of Xi'an Fucheng is amazing, after the blow, there is no zài, but the income from litigation is still saved, which cannot be avoided anywhere, even if it is Zheng Xunrui, it is impossible to rectify it, for example, the people who commit crimes, if it is a big rebellious crime, it goes without saying, it must be severely punished, but some fights and brawls can be dealt with differently, it can be lighter or heavier, and the difference is greater in civil disputes, The severity of the punishment is entirely in the hands of the officials.

In addition, if you want to get promoted, it is not possible to do things honestly, you must attract the attention of the officials, in the process of each assessment, if you get a high evaluation of the officials, then the examination materials sent to the Ministry of Officials, that is not ordinary, all are affirmative words, so that you must be able to be promoted in a short period of time, if you do your own thing, don't care about anyone, and are not willing to bend your waist for five buckets of rice, then you don't want to be an official.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are the governors of the governor's yamen, and their main responsibilities are to upload and distribute, collect and sort out many documents in the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, sort them out and classify them, and then send them to the governor.

To say that the position of governor does not have much power, but if the governor gets the attention of Shangguan, it will be different, there are many documents in the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, except for the documents that are particularly urgent, the rest is difficult to say, Shangguan's energy is limited, it is impossible to read every document carefully, whether it is to read the documents carefully, it is thanks to how the governor sorted out, so that Shangguan feels that the documents are important, then it is natural to read.

However, the identities of Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are different, they are Zheng Xunrui's brother-in-law.

Not only the officials of the governor's yamen, but even Xu Wanghua paid attention to it, all the documents sorted out by Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli had to be sent to Xu Wanghua, and Xu Wanghua sorted them out again.

This made the identities of Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli rise.

The identity is different, which means that the income has also been greatly improved.

The three divisions and the Yamen of Fuzhou County, when they sent the documents, they first had to find Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli, and after some kind words and some etiquette, they hoped that the matter would be handled well, especially those documents that begged for money and food relief, and you must know that if these documents can be directly sent to the hands of the governor, they are likely to get more relief money and food.

This person is prone to expansion, especially after having power in his hands, and this power is very crucial.

Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli, originally did not suffer any setbacks at all, their home is also in Guli Town, Jiangning County, the family background is not bad, since childhood is to study, rarely care about other things, several times the government test has not been able to pass guò, suffered some grinding, but this kind of grinding, is almost every reader has experienced, it is nothing at all, and later got Zheng Xunrui's recommendation, to study in Guozijian, but also every day in Guozijian, in his spare time to go around the capital, There is no real understanding of the suffering of the people.

The personalities of the two are similar, they are not the kind of people who are very focused and hardworking, they can get by doing things, and they don't have much ambition, because they are not very good at reading, and naturally they don't receive a lot of attention, including in Guozijian.

Suddenly got attention, which made the two of them feel a little fluttering, this kind of attention is different, although every day is busy, but there are more people around you who say good things, more money in your pocket, and more time to be touted, if you don't have self-control, it is difficult to suppress self-expansion.

Two months later, the matter of cleaning up the unjust prison is coming to an end, the officials who should be dealt with are basically dealt with, and the edict of the criminal department is also coming, most of the officials who committed the crime are exiled to the army, such a punishment is very severe, there is no special relationship, there is almost no way to live, you must know that after the long exile journey, even if you reach the destination, you will suffer inhuman treatment, many officials who have been punished by exile, because it is unbearable, chose to commit suicide.

The main energy of the governor's yamen was put on the relief of the displaced people, and in this case, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli had more things to do, and many times, even at night, the two had to sort out a lot of documents.

However, the situation of the two has changed a lot, and the etiquette they accept has begun to increase, and they have silver in their pockets.

After all, the food in the restaurant is better than that of the governor's yamen, of course, it is impossible for the two of them to go to the restaurant to eat and drink just by relying on Yu Lu.

The officials who accompanied the two to the restaurant to eat and drink gradually increased, and after getting acquainted, the conversations between each other gradually became more, some of the rules of officialdom, as well as the means of collecting money, gradually came out in the process of eating and drinking, which also made the two people's insights very different.

Such a change, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are happy, when they came to Shaanxi, they didn't expect such treatment, their idea is to be able to stay in the capital, as long as Zheng Xunrui told Wen Zhenmeng, it is a trivial matter to keep them in the capital, although they say that doing things in the capital, they can't enjoy any good treatment, but the conditions in the capital are very good, but they came to the Shaanxi Governor Yamen.

At this time, the two of them really understood what it was to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and their brother-in-law Zheng Xunrui was the governor of Shaanxi, so they were sought after by many officials, and it was convenient to do anything, and they could get support, so Wen Zhenmeng asked the two of them to come to Shaanxi, in fact, it was for them.

Thinking about this layer, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli's enthusiasm for work suddenly increased, and it is very common to work overtime at night, of course, they can get a lot of remuneration for working overtime.

After calming down, the two of them also changed their minds, after all, their family members were not around, and their special identity made them dare not do anything wrong in the Qinglou, after eating and drinking well, their energy always had to be vented, if it was like this for a long time, the two of them would be difficult to control.

But even if they were sought after by many officials, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli did not dare to make such a request directly in front of Zheng Xunrui, according to the rules of the imperial court, they were only officials from the eighth grade, and they were not qualified to bring their families, so if they wanted to achieve their goals, they had to start from other aspects
