Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 42, Falling and Falling Together
November 25, 70th year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Chang'an City, Hubu.
Xu Wuzhi went on an errand on the first day of the household, and he caused a lot of trouble.
First of all, he was stopped by two officials on duty in the gatehouse, and asked about the meaning of the disease-free, and saw the text of the official department shown by the disease-free department, and saw that it was just a small official from the end of the seventh grade, so he stretched out his hand to ask for the money to enter the door, saying that this was the rule in the past dynasties, and the newcomer had to pay for the entry before he could get started......
Although he could get away with it for a few dollars, he was not sick but angry, so he ignored the entanglement of the doorman and went straight in. The two officials stepped forward to grab it, but they were hit by the shoulder without illness, and they both fell far away, and landed on a pile of horse manure...... The two soap men hurriedly got up, and while they were anxious to clean their faces, they scolded the innocent and audrous, and complained to themselves that the pile of horse manure had not been cleaned up. But the two forgot that it was their duty to clean up the road in front of the door......
The Ministry of Cadres and Households is in charge of a country's money and grain, and it is the pivot of the country, and there are many personnel and complicated institutions in the official offices. The general manager is the head of the household department, with one person and three ranks; the person in charge of the household department is the head of the household department, with one person and the rank from the third grade; the subordinate is the household department member Wailang, with two people and the rank from the fourth grade; and the household department is the servant, with four people and the rank of the fifth grade. The entire household department yamen is divided into four branches: the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Degree Branch, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Warehouses. In the sixth year of Kang Yuan, the current emperor suspected that the household branch was under the same name, and changed the four departments to "Si Yuan", "Si Du Branch", "Si Jin" and "Si Chu".
The Si Yuan Department is in charge of the registration of private households and the preparation of marriages; the Sidu Branch Office is in charge of the transportation of money and grain and the overall planning of water and land throughout the country; the Si Yuan Department is in charge of the national treasury, and the Department of Finance and Finance is in charge of the granaries of all parts of the country.
After Xu Wuzhi entered the yamen of the household department, he saw that the houses in the official office were tight, and the high and low houses were overlapped, so he was dizzy, so he had to stop a bookstore to ask. The clerk's office was quite patient, and immediately guided the sick to go to the staff on duty to report to the clerk with the official body.
The clerk on duty was named Pan Wenjuan, who was over fifty years old and slightly fat, and he was surprised to see that he was very young, so he asked about the origin of the disease. Pan Wenjuan saw that he couldn't ask the clue, so he waved his pen and placed the disease-free person to the Sijin Department.
There are three directors under the entire Department of Finance, with a rank of six grades, six people with experience, and a rank of seven grades; there are also many clerks, scribes, and miscellaneous servants under them, all of whom have no rank.
After spending a long time without illness, I finally found the office of the Financial Department, and asked many people, and finally found my immediate boss, Zhang Bo, the director of the Financial Department. He presented Zhang Bo with the letter of the official department and the approval of the household department. Zhang Bo saw that Xu Wuxian was only twenty years old, but he had already obtained an official body from the seventh grade, and a sulk was born in his heart, so he asked:
"Dare to ask which Jinshi is on the next list?"
"I didn't come from a Jinshi. Xu Wuxian said.
"So you are a lifter, may I ask how much money you donated to buy this official?" Zhang Bo looked disdainful.
"I'm not a lifter, I'm not even a showman......" Xu Wuxian said calmly.
"I am a fifty-eight year Jinshi of Kang Yuan, and I have been a household department for eleven years, and I have only been promoted to a six-grade chief now, and you don't even have the fame of a showman, tsk...... I don't know which door you got into this household lobby?...... Your part of the official report can't be written by yourself, right?hahaha......" Zhang Bo laughed around insolently, and almost all the people in the office of the Financial Affairs Department were his voice. Everyone who was busy in the public party looked at Xu Wuxian one after another, and many people pointed fingers, as if they were laughing at Xu Wuxian, who had no fame, but "made a fake document in an attempt to get through the customs in confusion and ask for an official errand ......"
"You have been an official for 12 years, and you are only a mere sixth grade, which can only mean that you are a waste ......," Xu Wuxian said coldly.
"Shut up...... No matter how bad the official is, he is also your boss! What kind of crime should you be guilty of insulting your boss and speaking wild words today!" Zhang Bo was so angry that his eyes widened, and he pointed at Xu Wuxian's nose with the fingers of his right hand and scolded.
"I'm just answering the questions in your mind...... "As for the door through which you asked me to enter the door of the house, I will tell you that I have entered the door of the house in a dignified manner since the beginning of this day...... If you don't believe me, there's still a pile of horse manure there, so you can go down and take a closer look to see if it stinks, or if your mouth stinks?!......"
How could Zhang Bo be able to hold back this humiliation in public? He rushed forward, twisted Xu Wuxian's collar with his left hand, and no longer paid attention to Sven, who was an official, raised his right hand and slapped Wuxian at him, scolding himself in his mouth: "I'll beat you up and don't know how to ......!
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "snap", Zhang Bo's slap hit his left side of the face firmly, and his left cheek was red and swollen in an instant......
The people watching on the side, no matter what, couldn't guess that Zhang Bo actually slapped himself in the face, and the force was so fierce. As a result, the subordinates of the entire Department of Finance, from the chief to the miscellaneous servants, stopped their work and gathered around, all wanting to see what was going on......
However, the next scene made these people feel even more inexplicable, only to see that Zhang Bo suddenly jumped away again, and hit a bookcase next to him heavily, until his scalp was bleeding, and his eyes were full of gold stars.
The people who were far away couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they saw this, secretly thinking that this Zhang Bo today, isn't it crazy to lose his mind, in front of everyone, he was humiliated by a new subordinate, and he even wanted to punish himself like this, first slamming his mouth, and then breaking his scalp......
The people in front of Zhang Bo saw it more clearly, only to see Zhang Bo twitch the left side of his face, scream, and pounce on Xu Wuxian again. They didn't see what method Xu Wuxi used, so they saw that Wuxi's body moved slightly, so they dragged Zhang Bo out far away......
Two of the clerks were Zhang Bo's cronies, and when they saw this, they hurriedly rushed forward to help Zhang Bo up, and one of the clerks said again and again: "Master Zhang, it doesn't matter...... How did you hit that corner of the table yourself?"
Hearing another "snap", Zhang Bo twitched the mouth of the person who spoke, and said angrily: "Which dog of yours saw me hit me by himself?"
Zhang Bo pointed his finger at Xu Wuxian, and said hatefully: "You, you, you, ......you" and "you" for a long time, but he couldn't speak.
At this time, I saw two officials running up panting, and the two people still had the stench of horse manure on their faces, and it was the two who were blocking the innocent people in the gatehouse.
"Okay! You kid! We have finally found you, and in broad daylight, you dare to trespass into the household department's yatang! See that we don't take you today!" The two of them shouted, and they were about to step forward and grab Xu Wuxian.
At this time, a young man who was about thirty years old and had a Chinese face stopped the two doormen and said: "Zhao Wu, Ding Liu, he is a serious household department appointed by the imperial court, and he came to our company's financial department to do things on the first day today, how can you say that he trespassed?!......
When Zhao Wu and Ding Liu heard the young man's words, they had to stop, and Zhao Wuwu said with hatred: "Even if you kid is an experience, you have no right to throw the two of us today...... Fell on top of horse manure...... We, we're going to Jiang Yanshi to sue you......" With that, the two of them gritted their teeth and stomped their feet while going out......
That Zhang Bo seemed to have woken up at this time, only to see him take out a sweat towel to cover his head, and while exhaling in pain, he also followed the two out of the door......
When everyone saw that there was no more excitement to see, they immediately dispersed. He bowed his hand slightly to the young man with a national face, and said: "In Xia Xu Wuxi, I came here to do things on the first day today, and I dare to ask ?...... this brother is."
The young man with the face of the national character hurriedly replied: "The next surname is Song, the grass word Jinhua, the head of the household department, and it is only March ...... to come to this financial office."
Xu Wuzhi said: "I am just the last official from the seventh grade, if you talk about the official rank, Brother Song is Xu's boss......"
Song Jinhua hurriedly said: "Brother Xu is polite, I, the main person from the sixth grade, is not the same ......as Brother Xu."
Xu Wuxian said: "Brother Song, what kind of character is this Zhang Bo? I don't know him, why does he embarrass me for no reason?"
Song Jinhua said with a smile: "Zhang Bo relied on his father-in-law to be the member of the household department, Master Pan, who was used to running rampant and commanding in this financial office on weekdays. I was in charge with him, and I had been angry with him before. Today, when he saw that you were young, he wanted to give you a 'dismount' as well...... Who knows...... Hahaha! Brother Xu, this time, you can be regarded as speaking out for your brothers......"
Xu Wuxian also smiled and said: "It's just that there is a father-in-law who is a foreigner, and he dares to be so arrogant! Today, in the hands of my Xu, how can these villains be allowed to run rampant!"
Song Jinhua immediately said worriedly: "Looking at the situation, this Zhao Wu and Ding Liu went to the household department to complain to Jiang Chongmin. Zhang Bo, naturally, went to find his father-in-law...... Wait a while, if Lord Pan and Jiang Yan are held accountable, I'm afraid Brother Xu won't be easy to deal with......"
Xu Wuxi snorted coldly: "Let him go......"
Song Jinhua said: "Brother Xu, who recommended you to enter the household department? Do you want me to go and talk to you on your behalf?" Then Jiang Yan is still fooling the past, if Master Pan is really angry, he can suspend your post on the spot, and if you go to the next meeting, you can also be dismissed and questioned...... When the time comes, Brother Xu, that's a big deal......"
Xu Wuxian waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay...... I want to see if he, Master Pan, will suspend me from his post or join me?......"
Seeing this, Song Jinhua could only shake his head again and again, and said in his heart that Pan Wenjuan has been an official in the court for nearly 30 years, although he is still a member of the fourth rank, but it is said that his party is attached to the king of Jin, and he has connections all over the court, if you offend him, you will not be able to eat and walk around in the future......
......
Xu Wuxian and Song Jinhua were talking and laughing to themselves, Song Jinhua pointed to Wuxian to be familiar with some routine affairs in the official office, and after half a moment, he suddenly saw a group of people surrounding an old man and rushed in violently.
The person who was the leader, slightly chubby, graceful, fifty years old, wearing a lake blue peacock tail four-grade official mansion, was the household member Wailang Pan Wenjuan.
As soon as Pan Wenjuanfu entered the door, he put on full official authority, condescending, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Bold Xu Wuxian, you have a small household experience, despise Shangguan, be arrogant, only on the first day of errands, dare to act so boldly, what crime should you be guilty of......?"
