Returned to the Defu government, it is also a lantern.

Lin Qianqian was busy Zhang Luo in the house, and at this time, the subordinate who was sent out to inquire came back and said: "Madam, I heard that the lord is still outside the city, and he must first accept the congratulations of his subordinates, as for the squire, the people have to greet him for a while, and they have to pay homage to the city god before they can enter the city, not so fast." ”

"There are too many rules for any prefect." Lin Qianqian complained on his lips, but his mouth was full of joy.

Just in the middle of talking.

Outside, Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan went inside to congratulate.

Both of them are now the big treasurers of the farmer's bank, and they are very noble in and out.

Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan smiled when they saw Lin Qianqian: "Congratulations sister-in-law, congratulations sister-in-law!" Brother Zong Hai was promoted this time, and his sister-in-law was also promoted to Mrs. Fate. ”

Lin Qianqian smiled brightly, but said with a disapproving look on his face: "Isn't it just a prefect, my family is not rare, he is only a fourth grade, and the official is not big." ”

Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan glanced at each other, and they both laughed.

Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "The fourth-grade official is still too small, according to my sister-in-law, how old is this official, it is called big." The prefect of a prefecture, this radius of 100 miles is the parents of 300,000 ordinary people under the rule of Futai. ”

Zhang Haoyuan said: "Yes, the prefect is a member of the fourth grade, wearing a scarlet robe. Although the two of us often walk around the yamen, we haven't seen a few officials in scarlet robes so far. Now that Brother Zong Hai has been promoted to the prefect, to be honest, a few of our former classmates are all bright-looking. ”

Lin Qianqian said shallowly: "Look at the way you are happy, I am not very happy, and I have a bright face." ”

Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "Okay, it's my sister-in-law who has calm, and my sister-in-law is going to immediately send someone to Houguan's hometown to report the good news, and Old Man Lin will be happy when he hears it, and there is also the ancestral hall, and he also wants to comfort his ancestors." ”

Zhang Haoyuan said: "If there are not enough people, there are ...... people in our bank."

Lin Qianqian's smile was even more obvious, but he said lightly: "Do you still need to tell this?" I sent someone back to my hometown half an hour ago to report the news, and I left the post station, and it won't be long before I get to my hometown. ”

Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan couldn't help but glance at each other, this is 'I didn't have much joy?' How faceless and bright? It's really speechless.

Just when Lin Qianqian, Chen Xinggui, and Zhang Haoyuan were chatting, someone outside said: "Madam, Lord Jinfang of Daliang Dao is about to arrive at the south gate." ”

After Fu Zhiyuan was promoted.

The prefect of the Guide Prefecture is represented by the Secretary for Political Affairs and the Minister of Political Affairs.

That's right, when Lin Yanchao was appointed as Tongzhi, he had temporarily appointed the government affairs, but after Fu Zhiyuan was transferred, the feudal division originally intended to continue to let Lin Yanchao temporarily sign it.

However, Li Zihua pressured the feudal division that Lin Yanchao was in charge of the river work, and it was not easy to be distracted from government affairs.

So later, the feudal division let Fang Jin take care of it.

But what Li Zihua didn't know was that Fang Jin had already worn a pair of pants with Lin Yanchao.

Fang Jin almost let go of government affairs.

Therefore, after Fu Zhiyuan was promoted to the political envoy, he returned to the political affairs of the German Mansion, knew the same about small matters, passed the judgment, pushed the officials to divide their labor, and several officials discussed major matters together, and finally reported to Fang Jin.

In the end, Lin Yanchao had the final say.

And now that Fang Jin has arrived, he personally congratulated Lin Yanchao, with the good relationship between the two and the identity of Lin Yanchao's top boss in the future, they must greet each other with a grand courtesy.

Chen Xinggui, Zhang Haoyuan thought that Lin Qianqian didn't understand the rules of officialdom, and was about to remind him.

But seeing that Lin Qianqian was already asking, "Who else is there in the government now?" ”

The subordinate replied: "Several general judgments, the magistrates have gone out to greet the government, and even the governor and Zhaoma are in the city to congratulate the promotion of the government." Now there are only a few officials in the government. ”

Lin Qianqian heard the words and said: "That can't be done, come to Zhong, you immediately go out of the city and inform the master of this matter." ”

"And the two of you!"

Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan asked, "We?" ”

Lin Qianqian nodded and said: "That's right, you are also friends of Xianggong, so you will greet Fang Dashen at the south gate for Xianggong first, and it is best to delay some time." ”

Chen Xinggui and Zhang Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw that they had changed from greeting guests to welcoming guests, but they also admired Lin Qianqian's strength in their hearts.

Chen Xinggui nodded and said, "It's okay, we also wanted to visit Fang Dashen for a long time." ”

"Yes, I haven't had a chance to see it in the past, so I will talk about the matter of the farmer's money village to Fang Dashen." Zhang Hao said from afar.

So the two said goodbye to Lin Qianqian and went out.

But what is the first thing after the new official takes office?

That's the ritual!

When a new official takes office, he must first be cautious in his words and deeds, and then stay fast.

After Lin Yanchao received the appointment, he was already fasting, and he arrived in the city the next day to worship the city god first.

This is the most important link for a new official to take office, and he must be solemn and cautious.

Lin Yanchao is very solemn about this, this sacrifice is invited for himself, for the people, for himself, for the officials to fulfill their duties, for the people, pray for a year of good weather.

The officials in the palace greeted Lin Yanchao outside the city, and they all entered the city to worship him.

At the time of the sacrifice, Lin Yanchao recited the memorial in front of the officials.

The gods are wise and upright, so as to bless our people and bless our country. But the boy is prolonging the tide, and he is self-righteous and virtuous, and now he is slaughtering, and he does not dare to remove it......

The main worship of Confucianism is not only in the ghosts and gods, but also in a respectful word, reverence for the way of heaven.

…………

After the sacrifice, Lin Yanchao posted a notice in the city to tell the people.

to show that he is a new official.

After that, Lin Yanchao received a report that the political participants had arrived at the south gate.

Lin Yanchao has to change his clothes below, worship the ritual gate, worship the letter, and order Wu Tongju, who is second only to himself in the official position, go to the south gate to greet him first.

After the matter was finished, Fang Jin went to the palace to see Lin Yanchao.

Fang Jin was accompanied by Wu Tongju, and Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan beside him.

Left and right retreated, but when he saw Fang entering, he raised his hand and said: "Zong Hai, congratulations on your promotion, you will go further in the future." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, Fang Jin originally called himself a virtuous nephew.

Now it is called Zonghai, which means that they treat each other equally.

It seems that this high promotion not only improves the official position, but also the seniority.

Also, the political secretary participates in politics from the three grades, and the official positions of the two are only separated by one level.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, the official separated one product, avoided the horse and avoided the sedan chair, and the third product knelt.

So the two of them are separated by one level, doesn't it mean that Lin Yanchao can avoid the horse and sedan chair when he meets Fang Jin on the road in the future?

But this is only on paper, after all, the two are now in a subordinate relationship. If Lin Yanchao doesn't want to find trouble, he still has to avoid horses and sedan chairs.

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Xiaguan thanked Dashen. ”

Fang Jin laughed, and when he saw that Lin Yanchao was still wearing a five-grade official robe, he couldn't help but say, "Why hasn't the official uniform been prepared yet?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The holy order came suddenly, and the official robe is still being made, so let's make do with it first." ”

Fang Jin shook his head and said, "How can this be done, the official etiquette is the most important." Someone came, took two official robes and gave them to Lin Futai. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help pouting when he heard this, you were ready to give me an official robe, why didn't you say it earlier?
