Chapter 10: Rainbow and Pink (5)
Ancient officialdom and scholars all liked to come to this trick, this person's character is not good, morality is not good, this person's reputation is stinky, so everything he does, is it necessary to comment on whether it is right or wrong? How good is the talent? Qin Hui is still the champion!
Li Dagongzi sneered and opened his mouth, he was sure that this time, he would let Ding Yi die very well.
He didn't go to Ding Yi to speak first, but first turned around and scolded the landlord surnamed Liu, this is a foreshadowing, after the picture is poor, it is a dagger!
Wang Yuan and a few people on this side of the carriage immediately changed their attitude towards Ding Yi a lot, just like the heroes on the rivers and lakes, who are convinced by the heroes who can fight and spend money for their brothers, literati, they can make people feel the height of the whole realm, so everyone will naturally have respect.
At least led by Wang Yuan, the son of the same acquaintance, those who have tried not to target Ding Yi's concubines, this is a kind of respect, not Ding Yi pressed out with his official position, nor did he fight out, it was a respect for Ding Yi's talent.
However, Ding Yi himself knew that it was really not a problem for Ding to write an eight-strand essay in such a hurry, and Ding who had passed the imperial examination; But he really couldn't get this poetry, or he wouldn't have been a copyist just now. So he was very modest and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" ”
It made the gentlemen on the side respect him more and more.
This person is talented, not arrogant, and looks quite rich, so you don't have to worry about him coming to borrow food one day, why don't you get close to him?
"People who can afford to use Wenfu Huimo are willing to accept your daughter as a maid ring, which is a rough maid ring, and it is also a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes." After Mr. Li was slapped in the face. Forced out of a topic, said to the landlord surnamed Liu.
Li Dagongzi really has some city government. Yanzhou Mansion heard that he was talented and quick-witted. It's definitely not empty words, he immediately grabbed another key point and made a difficulty, "It's just Master Ding, you are in a good mood, but this high-headed horse and four-wheeled carriage are not objects that can be obtained if you have talent, this four-wheeled carriage, I heard that there are eight hundred taels of silver in the market, and you can't get one." It is said that it takes two thousand taels of silver to talk about something; This kind of horse, the student has also seen one, it is said that it also costs 15 taels of silver, you are just a person, such a huge amount of money, but where did it come from? ”
There was a helper on the side and sneered: "I heard that Ding Fuzi was dismissed again for helping people in Beijing, I am afraid that my hands and feet are not clean!" Don't panic, I went back to Fucheng and reported it to the official of the Yamen of the Security Bureau. Since there will be black-clothed Yamas to find Master Ding to question, I just hope that when the master's talent can teach those black-clothed Yamas to understand, just let you come back! ”
Ding Yi smiled and said, "Student's money." But they came out of the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, and the black-clothed Yama really came to ask and taught them to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas to talk about things. But there is no student involvement, you are noble. Students remember the five, but they don't have to worry about it for students. ”
Wang Yuan, the son of the Tongzhi family, listened. But he pressed Ding Yi's hand and said: "Brother Yong, this Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, but don't take it lightly, although the Duke of Zhongguo is a gentleman, the people who do errands below are not necessarily as generous as Mr. Rongcheng." ”
Ding Yi was stroked by the back of his hand, quite uncomfortable, and pulled out his hand by speaking, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas is recruiting people to be appointed to any place overseas, and the students are not talented, and a few of them have been appointed, so they have just got this carriage and horse, which is something that does not need to be hidden." ”
"Going overseas? Isn't that just wandering! Grand Master Li snorted coldly.
"After serving for eight years, if you are in the middle of the evaluation, you can transfer back to Huaxia, and at least you will be the head of a county." Ding Yi was still smiling, and said unhurriedly, "Naturally, if you think the official position is too small, it is okay to stay up to the governor overseas and come back to be the head of the state capital." I don't dare to say it in other places, at least there is no problem with the arrangements in Yunyuan, Liangguang, Yungui and other places, and they are all written into the official body books of the ministry, which is absolutely undoubted. ”
Yunyuan, Liangguang, Yunnan, and Guizhou were not good places in this era, and they were all borderlands.
Even if the people's livelihood in Liangguang has improved in recent years, and I heard that there is something being done to promote the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain, in short, it is not a good place.
But because of this, it makes Ding Yi's words even more credible, these places in Huguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are of course reserved for scholars who are serious scholars in the imperial court. But this is not important, if you can serve as the leader in Yungui, Liangguang, Yunyuan and other places, then in the future, if you want to be the leader of the state capital, there will be no problem.
The gap between those who are born as a Jinshi and those who are not from a Jinshi is on this, and those who are not from Jinshi are rarely likely to become leaders.
"Is that true?" Wang Gongzi originally took a fancy to those jade people next to Ding Yi, but at this time, he didn't think about this aspect at all, and even his eyes didn't linger on the faces of those concubines. Unless it's really a hungry ghost in lust, or a woman who wants to move herself, otherwise, power and career will always be more exciting than beauty.
Especially for people like Wang Gongzi, although he also passed the Juren exam and is considered a primary school bully, it is precisely because he is a primary school bully himself that he knows how difficult it is to become a Jinshi! His father, Yan Zhou, is also a well-known person, and he has been working for decades, and his connections in the officialdom are also good, and his ability is quite outstanding, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk to Ding Yi just now, regardless of the embarrassment of Prince Li.
But so what? If you are not from a jinshi background, normally speaking, you just can't be a leader!
It's useless to disobey, of course, one and a half have, for example, Yang Shan, it's really smooth luck and official road, although he was not put to the place to be a political envoy or a prefect, but at least he can still be a Zhengqing in the ministry, which is very good, because he stands in the right line, the battle of Jingnan, he is on the side of King Yan and later Ming Chengzu.
Except for those who stand in line during the rotation of the throne, or very few factors, otherwise they are not Jinshi and have the ability? Then the county, the main thin, the general judgment, the same knowledge, etc., play slowly. Anyway, whether it is a county, a state, or a government, it is even more difficult to become a leader. As for entering the cabinet? Don't think too much about it, you'll find fault with yourself.
Otherwise, why did Ding resolutely resign and re-take the imperial examination? Of course, he has no fear, he knows that he will not do anything, and after a few years when Yingzong comes out, how can this old friend pull him. But part of the reason is that he is mixed in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't be born as a scholar, from the political envoy to the head of the government, state, county, etc., and the six Shangshu and cabinet ministers of the center, so don't think about it at all, and honestly go to be the second in a thousand years.
So Wang Pingzhi is very familiar, Ding Yi hasn't replied, he took the initiative to add another sentence: "Brother Yongzhi, the younger brother is not talented, the spring and the young brother have taken the exam twice, both of which are named Sun Shan, although the father still teaches the younger brother to take the exam again, but I am afraid that the Jinshi is hopeless." Brother said that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, those who are willing to serve overseas can be the chief officer? This is to be born as a jinshi, right? ”
When it comes to his career, he has to be careful.
Ding Yi smiled, and was about to speak, when the eldest prince Li, who had lost face just now, sneered on the side: "Brother Wang, you are waiting to be deceived, these days, the liar who pretends that he has all kinds of connections and defrauds money and silver is not one or two, but everyone knows that it is embarrassing and does not dare to make it public." You're good, everyone in Yanzhou Shilin here is watching, haha, in the future, this matter will be publicized, and Uncle Wang Shishu will have a very bright face! ”
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he really didn't dare to talk back at this moment, commenting on the poems, he naturally dared to express his position, because it was good or not, Ding Yi's words were there, it was obvious advantages and disadvantages, it was really a person with a little experience who read it again, and he could have an answer, why didn't he dare to show his closeness to Ding Yi? Just the kabuki who traveled with him and Dagongzi Li, after returning to Yanzhou Mansion, he would definitely spread the word Ding Yi, and he was naturally not afraid.
But the liar section that Mr. Li said gave him a chill on his back.
The Master Ding in front of him, can you believe what he said? Is it a liar or not? If so many people are really deceived, even in Yanzhou, they will not be able to raise their heads for at least half a year.
At this time, the landlord surnamed Liu and several helpers of the eldest prince of Li sneered on the side: "Master Ding can still know the constitution of the Metropolitan Mansion of the Four Seas?" Don't say that your surname is Ding, Mr. Rongcheng is also surnamed Ding, he is a distant relative, right? The scholar who was still sitting on the side just now even got up, and the halberd pointed at Ding and scolded angrily, "This is put here today, Master Ding, you dare to say that you are related to the Duke of Zhongguo, and the student will dare to tear your mouth!" The eldest brother of Zhongguo Gong died early, and there was only one person, and only Uncle Zheng Bei and his sister-in-law grew up! This admirer who is afraid of Ding Yi has a refreshing understanding of Ding's family background, and it is precisely because of this that he is so angry.
Ding Yi raised his hand and motioned for them to calm down, there were a few who refused to shut up, such as the landlord surnamed Liu, who was eager to bite off a piece of Ding's meat, where would he stop? Ding Yi pointed at the eldest prince of Li and pointed to the landlord surnamed Liu: "The eldest prince seems to be not only not very good at poetry, but also the way of domesticating dogs and animals does not seem to be very good." ”
Li Dagongzi felt embarrassed when he heard this, so he picked up the plate on the side and smashed it over, before teaching the landlord surnamed Liu to stop.
"The constitution of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas is to be assessed, that is, if you have the status of a person and want to be the chief officer, then, after signing up, there will be half a month of training, together with the three classes of errands and six-room scribes you want to take to the post, all of which will be assessed after receiving training. If you can't pass the test, I'm sorry, then you have to pay for it, and you have to pay for the expenses of the people you bring during the training, the cost of training, etc.; If you pass the exam, not only do you not have to pay money, but the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas will send a fleet to escort you to your appointment, and will also give you some firearms and equipment as appropriate......"
At this time, Grand Master Li suddenly asked: "Slow, you say this, it sounds reasonable, but how do you know that you are not a scam and have been discovered, and you are making up words to deceive me and others in order to get out!" ”
The dozen or so people who were attracted by Ding Yi just now also glared at Ding Yi with suspicious eyes.
The landlord surnamed Liu was proud again: "Master Ding, you honestly sent your concubine to the old man, why did you come to such a thing?" Why bother? One lie after another is made up, this is up to the old man of Zhongguogong, the old man looks at how Deng Mingfu exonerates you from the crime! (To be continued......)
