Wei Bao took out a large piece of paper, good rice paper, and ordered the officials to grind it.

After dipped in ink, Wei Bao thought for a moment, and then wrote down a communiqué with a wave of his hand.

The small officials who have experienced the official hall of the adults in the department are equivalent to miscellaneous work, and they cannot be regarded as a secretary.

In fact, with the official position of the sixth grade of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is fully qualified to have a bookstore, but there are too many officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are dozens of senior members of the fourth rank and above above Wei Bao.

Therefore, except for the second-rank officials and third-rank officials, the other officials have no books, and they are all small officials who do some miscellaneous work, and they don't even have grades.

But their fame is not low, they are generally the children of hereditary official families, and most of them are not good talents.

In western Liaoning, Xiucai is very popular, but what is the capital? In Beijing, Xiucai walked all over the place.

This is because they are children themselves, otherwise it would be impossible to come and eat a bowl of rice.

The little official of the Experience Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is called Guo Wenliang, Guo Wenliang's father was originally an ordinary imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he is old and cares for the elderly at home, so Guo Wenliang, who only shows his talent and fame, replaces him as an errand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Guo Wenliang is only born in Xiucai, so it is naturally impossible to make up for the imperial history, the imperial history is the seventh grade, the well-known imperial court official, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not ordinary, and it is placed in the locality, at least the state official is the sixth grade, or even the fifth grade of the prefect.

Guo Wenliang can only serve as half of the secretary's office, mainly doing chores, and doing everything, but his status is higher than that of the servant.

A person like Guo Wenliang has been mixed to the top all his life, that is, to get a record of the ninth grade, or an eight-grade book, and it will never be possible to have a seven-grade imperial history, because the 'diploma' restricts his development.

Throughout the ages, Huaxia has always attached great importance to diplomas anyway, and without diplomas, many places will be restricted.

Guo Wenliang glanced at the communiqué written by Master Wei and was taken aback, "My lord, is this appropriate?" ”

Wei Bao didn't want to ask Guo Wenliang's opinion, and said to him: "Do you want to be the imperial history?" ”

Guo Wenliang's eyes immediately widened, "Lord Commander wants to promote me to be the imperial historian?" ”

Whether it is an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate or an official of the Dali Temple, they do not call Wei Bao the official position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple, either Wei Bao is the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, or Wei Bao is the master of the cabinet of the scholars, and most of them are called the lords in charge.

Everyone calls other people's official positions, and naturally they all choose the biggest one, although the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is very prominent, it is more than the local official and the third grade, and the Beijing official has a rank of the fourth grade, but after all, it is only from the official rank of the fifth grade.

In the cabinet, the scholar is in charge of the five products, and it is still an official position given by the emperor, so everyone thinks that the scholar in the cabinet is a little stronger than the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Although Wei Bao's Dali Temple Zuo Si Cheng is also a five-grade official, the officials of Dali Temple are a little worse than the scholars in the cabinet.

Therefore, there are many officials and servants who call Wei Bao the ruler.

"What's wrong? You don't want it? Wei Bao smiled slightly.

"No, the villain can't ask for it! It's just that the villain only shows off his fame. Guo Wenliang blushed and said.

Wei Bao has been in contact with this Guo Wenliang for a few days, and he has a good impression of him, he is quite an honest and responsible person, he is also diligent in his work, has eyesight, and sees the wind all day long, but he does not deliberately slap the horse, at least, Wei Bao does not feel that Guo Wenliang's sycophants are disgusting.

It is not easy to be an official and not be disgusting, and the first impression given to him by the vast majority of officials Wei Bao is disgusting.

"With me supporting you, what's the problem?" Wei Bao said domineeringly: "Do you want to be my person?" ”

Guo Wenliang hesitated for a moment, and then knelt on the ground: "If I can become the imperial history, my family will feel honored, and my father is absolutely happy!" I, Guo Wenliang, am willing to serve Lord Wei for the rest of my life. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "You don't have to say these words in a hurry, I'm not unconditional, seven pins 3,000 taels of silver!" Eight pins 2000 two lines of silver! Nine pins 1000 taels of silver! Six pins of 5000 taels of silver! Five products 10,000 taels of silver! ”

Yes?

Guo Wenliang almost didn't faint, I've heard about selling the official beard, but there is no such a clear price?

"3,000 taels of silver? The villain doesn't necessarily have so much silver in his house. Guo Wenliang suddenly became excited.

"You were so grateful just now, you were so surprised! As soon as I heard that I wanted silver, this was it? This is what I can afford to look up to, promote you, and appreciate you, do you see if you can buy a seven-grade imperial history by a random show outside? If this rumor is released, not to mention 3,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of silver will have a bunch of people rushing out! Those who have served in the position of county magistrate for many years, if they can enter the Imperial Court as the imperial history, how many people do you think want to do it? There are also rich people in the township, and you can find a way to get the fame of your talents, but the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where to get it! This is the title of the glorious ancestor, just to get a position, if you don't come to the market, you can earn it. Wei Bao said indifferently: "Your father is the imperial history, I can say that your father has been loyal to his duties all his life, looking at your father's past achievements, plus your hard work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the past few years." ”

Wei Bao really doesn't sell officials at will, he also looks at people, and he only sells them when he has a certain saying.

"What Master Wei said is that if it is really sold publicly, the imperial history of a metropolitan procuratorate, don't say that it is 10,000 taels of silver, that is, 20,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of silver, I estimate that there are people who buy it, especially in remote areas, and the county order that has caught the silver." Guo Wenliang said: "Thank you Lord Wei for thinking so highly of me, I have to go back and discuss it with my father." ”

"As soon as possible, post this communiqué, and everything will be settled today!" Wei Bao said indifferently.

"Settle it today?" Guo Wenliang was completely speechless, how could such a big thing be decided in one day? When did the speed of Daming officialdom become so fast? Could it be that you, Master Wei, have the final say in everything, and you don't have to discuss it with others?

"Remember, be the one who is my Wei Bao, and enjoy it for a lifetime! I've given you the opportunity, and, only once, whether you want to seize it, you can weigh it yourself. Wei Bao said, put his hands behind his head, and leaned back on the back of the big official's chair in a very comfortable position.

"The villain understands!" After getting along for a few days, Guo Wenliang also had a general understanding of Lord Wei's temperament, Lord Wei seems to be very friendly, but he is very strong in his bones, and he says the same. is young, but there is an aura that people have to obey.

Guo Wenliang took the official document and went out to post it, which immediately attracted many officials to see it.

There are very few communiqués in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because usually everyone does their own thing.

This is not only for the people of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, but also for the people of Dali Temple.

"All the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will take the examination in the official office compound of the Metropolitan Procuratorate from the beginning of noon to the end of noon today. The assessment is divided into two parts of past performance and scientific examination, according to the assessment results, the officials above the fifth grade are rearranged to be specifically responsible for official affairs, and the officials of the fifth grade and below are retained according to the assessment results, and the middle ones are waiting to fill the vacancy, and these are returned to the Ministry of Officials. Before the dismissal tomorrow, the results of the examination will be announced. Registration: Cabinet Secretary, Metropolitan Procuratorate Experience Division, Dali Temple Zuo Temple. ”

Someone read the communiqué again, and a group of officials immediately fried the pot.

What is this?

"Why did he choose? Is this the meaning of the imperial court, or the meaning of his Wei Bao? It's too unusual, is it better to get him Wei Bao to arrange specific affairs in the fifth grade? ”

"I just became an official yesterday, and today I took chicken feathers as an arrow!"

The officials were talking about it, someone pulled Guo Wenliang and asked what was going on, Guo Wenliang didn't have the time to talk nonsense, he didn't know a word, he looked at it himself, and left in a hurry, he was going home to discuss with his father.

Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no result, so let's go to Wei Bao together.

Wei Bao has been waiting for everyone to come for a long time.

"Master Wei, what the hell is going on? In previous years, the Beijing investigation plan, wasn't it carried out by the Ministry of Officials and our Procuratorate? If you want to select the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, it should also be the officials and the cabinet themselves. An official asked.

Wei Bao replied, "You didn't read the communiqué? Isn't it all written very clearly? The payment is the cabinet secretary, the experience of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute, and the left temple of Dali Temple, these three things are in my care, and naturally I am selected alone! Any questions? ”

Everyone is sweating, no one is convinced, but really no one dares to directly confront Wei Bao.

The most unconvincing thing is that Wei Bao is only a five-grade official, how can he represent the Duchayuan and Dali Temple? Also, you are only in charge of the cabinet in the cabinet, to put it bluntly, you can only manage a few scholars, why do you represent the cabinet? Do you think you're Shousuke-sama?

"Master Wei, what is the content of the exam? None of us are prepared, and besides, we need to have an exam number, right? Is it possible to sit casually? An official asked.

"What's the test? There is no content, you can write what you want to write, what you have done since you took office, how you have done it, what you have learned, and what advice you have to the yamen or even to the imperial court, you can write it, in short, you have to let people see that you are competent for the current errand and want to do it well. Wei Bao said.

Wei Bao's words have some truth, but they are also very fresh, and everyone has really never tried such a 'self-recommendation'.

Listening to Wei Bao's meaning, this examination is a self-recommendation.

But everyone is an official appointed by the imperial court, so why do you want to recommend yourself?

Zhang Juzheng was originally selected by the matter, and asked about the completion of a thing, you are more ruthless than Zhang Juzheng! You have to ask what people have done since they took office? How's it going?

"Master Wei, what is the standard? We don't understand. An official asked.

Wei Bao said unhappily: "Is it that everyone can't understand, or you can't understand?" If you don't understand, don't take the test! ”

The man was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head, not daring to say more.

"When you take the exam, the more you write, the more detailed the better, and the date! You yourself should also take this opportunity to sort out and see what you have done for the court and the yamen! See if you are worthy of the money you get every month! Wei Bao said indifferently: "Okay, let's disperse!" In a little more than an hour it will be noon. ”

"Master Wei, there are still many officials who don't know, or they are sick and didn't come, or they are out on business." An official said.

"Those who have tolerances are all people who do things, and they have excellent results in the direct arithmetic exam! If you are sick, you should inform each other, and if you still can't come, you can only call back to the official department, recover from your illness, and then rearrange the errand later! Wei Bao said: "This examination is experimental, you don't have to be too nervous, there are many opportunities in the future." There are people who are doing things, and the court can see them. ”

Wei Bao said it lightly, but the more this happened, the more nervous everyone became, and then rearrange the errand later? The errands are gone, and you still have a ghost? How many people do I have to find to make up errands again? How many ways do you get there? Moreover, there are more monks and less porridge, where are there so many suitable errands for by-elections?

As for the officials with tolerance, they go directly to the excellent results in the subject examination, Wei Bao is a person who thinks that there is something to do, whether it is the eunuch party or the Donglin party, at least they are the backbone, and someone must lead the work.

Not only the people who have tolerance today, Wei Bao still has enough information on hand, and in the past few years, he knows which people are the ones who do things and which people are the ones who play.

In fact, there are less than a few people who do things.

Wei Bao's patience was very good, and he sent away a group of officials who came to ask, and in less than half an hour, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple knew that the examination was going to be held at the beginning of noon.

A group of high-ranking officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple also came to find Wei Bao, Luan Ruping of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zou Yuanbiao of the Left Imperial History, Rong Keqin Rong Zhengyu Right Imperial History Zheng Erpin, Wang Dewan Zuodu Imperial History is the Fourth Product, Yang Weiyuan is the Right Imperial History is the Fourth Product, Dali Temple Qing Zhou Yingqiu and so on.

They are all high-ranking officials of the eunuch party and the high-ranking officials of the Donglin party, and they have been driven out of the yamen by Wei Bao.

"Master Wei, who gave you the power? If you want to take the examination for the fifth grade official, why do we have to participate in the examination? What errand do we have to do in the future, do we still want you Master Wei to appoint it? Who are you? The cabinet chief does not have such great power! Luan Ruping was the first to bear the brunt of the anger and said.

"Wei Bao! I'm not going to take the exam, I'll see what you do? In Dali Temple, I have always arranged things for people to do, and I have not yet touched to arrange things for me, are you Dali Temple, or am I Dali Temple? Zhou Yingqiu was also furious.

A group of eunuch high-ranking officials are even more gossipy, and they can't wait to tear Wei Bao by hand and make Wei Bao into a hand-torn Texas grilled chicken.

Wei Bao and a group of high-ranking eunuch officials quarreled to a certain point, and the volume was not so high, so he smiled slightly and said: "Adults, don't be anxious, what are you anxious about?" Naturally, I don't have the authority to test you, but isn't it going to be done? You think, you participated in the selection exam, and if those high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party didn't come, they would be at a loss, right? Also, you are all participating, and the people below are even more speechless. So, you don't just have to participate, you have to take it seriously. ”

Wei Bao's words make some sense, but a group of high-ranking eunuch officials are still very angry, the youngest of them are all fifty years away, and two of them are even the same year as the first assistant Gu Bingqian, they are all sixty years away, a lot of people are still being selected by you as a 15-year-old boy?

"Master Wei, you want to make a formality, you don't have to participate in it, right? Just say to the people outside, isn't it just that we passed the exam? "Zou Yuanbiao, the left capital imperial history.

"Lord Zou, no one is a fool, whether he has taken the test or not, these are two different things, not just talking. Anyway, I've already said it, so I hope you will understand and cooperate. If you really don't want to take the entrance examination, I can't do anything about it. It's still the same sentence, I have wronged you, we are all such good friends, as long as you take the test, it will definitely be beneficial, if you don't take the test, I have no choice. Wei Bao looked very helpless.

A group of high-ranking eunuch officials are all human spirits, and they will never be discouraged by Wei Bao's high-sounding words, and they still talk non-stop around Wei Bao.

This morning, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple were in a falling out.

Anyway, no matter who comes to find him, no matter what he says, Wei Bao always remains patient and smiles.

At noon, Wei Bao really knew how many people there were in the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, and thousands of officials actually came!

There are more than half of the people who usually don't come to the yamen to order and sit at home to eat food.

There are also people who have died a long time ago, and the family is forced to have no choice, so they come over to tell the truth at this time.

If you don't tell the truth, if you don't say it, you will definitely be beaten back to the ministry by Wei Bao, now say it and see if you can still get a hereditary errand.

Most of these people are like Guo Wenliang, people who have no fame, it is difficult to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Dali Temple to make up for the errand, and many of them even don't even have the fame of Xiucai, the best choice is to pretend that their father is not dead, and go to receive a salary every month.

"Master Wei, my father just passed away last year, and there has been something in the family during this time, so I only reported it today." A flattering person said in a low voice: "Do you think I can replace my father and get an errand in Dali Temple?" It's okay to do whatever you want. ”

"Is it okay to do a recording casually? Your father has been dead for more than a year, and you still go to the household department to receive a salary every month? How much money did you eat in vain from the imperial court? Wei Bao said coldly: "I won't ask about these things first, lest you think I'm a dog and a mouse meddling." But I want to tell you, I am very unhappy to eat the court's money in vain! If we don't treat the court as our own, how can we be human ministers? ”

Wei Bao's words were high-sounding, and everyone didn't dare to come out, so they couldn't stop nodding.

Wei Bao looks like a businessman, everything is based on reason, in fact, no one can do anything about him.

Who is clean in this world? Not to mention these officials, one is dirtier than the other, if you seriously find faults, no matter how honest and clean you are, even Yang Lian and others can find a bunch of faults!

"Master Wei, my father has been in Dali Temple all his life, you can't help but give me a chance." The man knelt down.
