Through the interview with the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Ning made up for a lack of the Ministry of Rites as he wished and officially entered the officialdom and became a member of the ruling class.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites Department, from the ninth rank, with a monthly salary of five stones, of which 4 stones of rice and fifty stagnant of money; the higher the rank, the greater the proportion of Baochao. You know, the emperor and the officials who formulated the national policy also know that Xiaojing officials did not have much extra income, so the salary was 80% real.
Even so, Zhang Ning's income is very tight, equivalent to silver only 2 taels and 5 cents a month, and his monthly salary is 1,800 yuan without bonuses or allowances. He is an official.
There were only one position, and there were seven or eight competitors at that time. Zhang Ning won without any suspense because of his relationship.
In any case, this is a serious organization after the Ministry of Personnel’s lack of actual conditions.
It doesn’t matter if you have a low income. If your family is not rich, you can borrow money from the capital. You will never be a small official in Beijing all your life. Even if you are promoted slowly, you may be a local magistrate and a magistrate...
At least it is not too difficult to pay off the debt. If it is such a person, the masters around him are mostly creditors.
If there is no suspense in modern times, a boss with a assets of tens of millions or a civil servant with a monthly income of 1,800 yuan, it is no doubt; but in this era, Zhang Ning feels that there is nothing wrong with choosing to be an official.
When you suddenly don’t know why there are a few moral mistakes on your head and you are robbed of your property and even have a different body and head, you will understand why, a living example of the rich man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The Ministry of Rites, a very elegant name, is the director of the mailing and receiving office of the Ministry of Rites. He sends and receives records of official documents and records of incoming and outgoing documents. There are two officials responsible for work, and Zhang Ning is one of them.
In fact, the ninth rank is not the smallest official, and there is another level called "not up to the level".
The other is an old man named Huang Shiren...
This Huang Shiren is not the one who is easy to get along with. He looks like he is almost sixty years old.
Zhang Ning knew his ideal after a few days of working: to wait for the seventh-rank magistrate to be promoted to, and then eat and wait for retirement.
According to Huang Shiren's heart-to-heart communication: Generally, new officials are easily bullied when they are not familiar with official duties, and even minor officials can climb up; but peace is different. When you come on the first day, the Secretary of State and the Minister of State nodded and greeted him. It is not small, who dares to provoke him?
Our colleagues get along well in the same relationship. When we are promoted in the future, remember to support our brothers. The requirements are not high. Just be a local magistrate who does not have floods, droughts, locust plagues and bandits rampant every year.
Huang Lao Chou is really a kind-hearted person. When he heard that Zhang Ning was staying in an inn, he immediately said that he had real estate in Yangzhou Hutong and there were few people in the place. He asked Zhang Ning to move here and live together. He could still walk together like a brother...
Zhang Ning said, "How dare I call you brothers and brothers."
It was almost the hour of You and was about to get off work. Huang Shiren kept persuading: I only have one son and one daughter, my daughter is already married, my son returned to Yangzhou to buy land and collect rent, and there were only two old couples in the capital, a concubine, and an old slave and servant.Ping An did not take care of his family, and he was just a servant and a groom in the Ministry of Rites. It was so convenient to live in our house.
It turns out that you have a concubine... Zhang Ning looked at Huang Shiren again in surprise. His hair and beard were gray and wrinkles were all wrinkles, and his back was a little hunched, without any trace of romanticism. He really couldn't be seen.
Zhang Ning thought to himself: I am an official, what does it look like to live with my colleagues? Is it a stalemate?
Besides, Huang Shiren is very enthusiastic, but it has only been a long time since he met him, so it is not wise to accept his favors casually.
It is not advisable to have a heart-to-heart talk with colleagues and marry a lover. Zhang Ning still has this claim.
After repeated refusal, Huang Shiren had to give up and took the initiative to say that he would accompany Zhang Ning to find a house after the time of the meeting. It was not easy to refuse such a thing.
By the hour of You, the two rode a donkey and came out of the Ministry of Rites leisurely. In the sunset, they were walking on the donkey's back and laughing, as if they were friends for many years.
As soon as I walked to East Chang'an Street, I suddenly heard a voice behind me: Good luck, come safe?
Zhang Ning and Huang Shiren looked back together and saw that it was Yu Qian, the head of the Ministry of Rites.
The sixth-rank bureaucrats were several levels higher in front of Zhang and Huang. They hurriedly got off the donkey's back and stood beside the road and bowed.
Yu Qian also got off the horse politely, bowed his hands and smiled: Are the officials doing well?
In this situation, Huang Laobiao's face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and could not be covered up.
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and of course he knows Yu Qian's background. He has a bright future for young Jinshi. He has a passionate fight with Yang Shiqi, the teacher of the Prince of the East Palace. His love is better than the father-son friendship and teachers and students. He even stepped on the path of the next generation of emperors...
In addition to the relationship revealed by the Minister of Rites Hu Ying and Minister of Internal Affairs Lu Zhen, what is the background of Zhang Ping'an?
I was very prosperous when I first arrived.
It's really awesome for people to be more angry. Huang Shiren was so ashamed to think about himself.
Zhang Ning smiled with a humble and arrogant smile: At the beginning, I was not very familiar with official business, but fortunately, my colleagues were easy to get along with and helped a lot.
When Huang Shiren heard his colleagues help, of course he was talking about himself, he was very moved: It’s so good, sometimes a good thing is more useful than spending more than three or five years!
Yu Qian said: If Ping An and Huang Sifu had nothing else to do at night, what if they came to my house for a drink?
It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful.Zhang Ning replied naturally.
Huang Shiren is very tactful. Others asking him to do it is just a polite word. Who told you to go with Zhang Ning?
Otherwise, why is the name Zhang Ning a kind word, and he is Huang Siwu?
I suspect that Yu Qian can't remember his words at all.
I told Jian Nei in the morning that I wanted to go home for dinner, but I was really sorry and I would definitely go to the banquet next time.Huang Shiren said.
Yu Qian followed the steps and said: It seems that it is a coincidence, so I have to drink with Ping'an.
After saying goodbye to Huang Laobiao, Zhang Ning and Yu Qian walked east together. In order to show the ranks of officials, Zhang Ning deliberately lag behind half of the donkey.
The two of them chatted for a while, and Yu Qian turned around and said: Yesterday I saw the courtyard where I entered the Sihe Courtyard in Huanghuafang. The courtyard was a bit too small, and it was better to be quiet. It was safe in the capital and had no family. It was okay to live with two servants.So I rented it, the contract had been signed, and when should I move it from the inn, and I will settle down for the time being.
Zhang Ning was slightly moved and thought to himself: Yu Qian is more reliable in doing something, he feels sincere in others, he doesn’t have too many clever words and despicable things, but he is very sincere; it’s not like Huang Shiren, who said good things for a long time and asked to move to his house, is it possible?
Since the house had been rented, Zhang Ning said simply: I'm troubled by the chief, the quiet place should be good, and it also suits my identity as a ninth rank.
I appreciate this favor, and I remember it if I have the chance.
Yu Qian nodded in praise and suddenly smiled: I feel comfortable getting along with peace, it’s very relaxed.
Walking northeastward, we came to Ganyu Hutong. It turned out that Yu Qian also lived here, and Zhang Ning remembered that Yang Shiqi's family was also in this Hutong.
At this time, he could confirm that Yang and Yu had a great friendship, and even An's family was together.
Most of these officials in Beijing settled in Beijing within three years because the capital was Nanjing before.
After entering the main entrance of Yu Mansion, passing the screen wall, the living room is in the downward room.
But Yu Qian did not invite Zhang Ning to the living room, but asked him to go straight into the drooping flower door to the upper room to take a seat.
There was no male servant inside, and the maid served tea to treat him. After a while, a young woman dressed in a well-equipped manner walked in. Yu Qian said: "You are a shameless Dong, your colleague Zhang Ping'an."
Dong bowed his head and bowed his knees. Zhang Ning hurriedly stood up from the chair and bowed with his fists: Zhang Ning, the official of the Ministry of Rites, met Mrs. Yu.
This is the friendship between the family. In Zhang Ning's eyes, Yu Qian treated himself like this. He was a little excited, and he also paid attention to his image. He did not stare at his wife. He only saw Dong's appearance in his light. He was white, reserved and dignified, and his round face was very attractive.
If you say that Yu Qian was really successful at a young age, he was a Jinshi and had a beautiful wife.
I have met Mr. Ping'an.
Dong's voice was delicate and weak, but it didn't match his plump figure. It was probably not nice to call Zhang Siwu, and it was not easy to call him Lord Zhang at the same level. It was just right to call him Mr. Ping'an. She was really a clever person. She said again, "Mr. Ping'an is talking to Mr. Ping'an, and I will prepare some wine and food."
After saying that, he looked up at Zhang Ning quickly, but his glance was deeply impressed.After Dong turned around and went out, Zhang Ning sat down again.
Yu Qian's expression gradually became a little solemn: The emperor was assassinated by evil people in Wanshou Palace. Have you ever heard of it?
A little heard.Zhang Ning replied calmly, saying that it was true that the emperor had no connection with him or not, and he was not qualified to care.
Yu Qian said: Now many people suspect that the King of Han is angry and plotting against others. What do you think?
The details are not known and cannot be guessed.
Zhang Ning said cautiously.
If he really wants to express his opinion, he thinks it is unlikely that the King of Han killed his father and the prince is justified in the court. What are the benefits of him?
However, Yu Qian and Yang Shiqi are mostly good friends. Yang Shiqi is an official in the East Palace. Of course, Zhang Ning is not convenient for him to express his true thoughts. Even if he doesn't speak out, he can't at least say the opposite to them.
This afternoon, Lord Hu received an order to meet the saint in the Ganqing Palace, perhaps for this.Yu Qian said thoughtfully.
Yu Qian took the initiative to talk about important things, which in Zhang Ning's view was a kind of close relationship, but in short, it was a good thing.
However, he always answered cautiously and did not deliberately show his insights.
Trying to be appreciated by Yu Zhushi and others is important, but showing that one is reliable is a long-term solution. As the saying goes, only by walking steadily can you go far.
The two did not have a deep conversation. When the supper was ready, Zhang Ning did not refuse. It was natural that Yu Qian had a meal at home.
……
I wish you all a reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
