Looking at the setting sun in the western sky, Du Zhongxiao rode on the horse, only feeling that his brain was buzzing. After this trip, I only felt that there were loopholes everywhere in each village, and nothing was done to my liking. Everywhere he looked, Du Zhongxiao could find many hidden dangers, and lowered his expectations again and again.

I thought that with the experience of Yongcheng Yingtian, I would be able to do it myself. As a result, in the past few days, I felt that everything was not going well, and all of it was something I had never encountered before.

Yongcheng is recruiting old farmers, and Du Zhongxiao doesn't have to worry about how to farm, he just needs to check and fill in the gaps. There is a large population, everything is calm, expanding little by little, and doing it calmly. When I got here, everything had to be done from scratch, and even the plough was used to open up the wasteland, and few of the people who came to cultivate the fields knew how to do it. The plough is a technical job, which looks easy, but in fact there is no one to guide it, and it is impossible to get started without practicing for a few days.

As for all the other miscellaneous things in farming, you need to start from scratch. These fiber-pulling van soldiers, in terms of familiarity with agricultural affairs, are far inferior to Du Zhongxiao. Most people don't know when to plant, don't know how to plow, and there is no way to talk about post-management.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao felt that his head was big. Invite experienced old farmers from the neighborhood to teach, the question is that Tangzhou is sparsely populated, how many old farmers can be invited? The peasants cared about their own farm work, so they could only rely on the help of the yamen, and half of them were apportioned to invite people to come.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and Du Zhongxiao now deeply understands the meaning of this sentence. Since arriving in Tangzhou, nothing has gone smoothly. He was originally a strict person who was meticulous in his work, but after these days, he was used to turning a blind eye to what he was doing, and he knew that there were many problems with what his subordinates were doing, so he could only pretend not to see it. Otherwise, nothing can be done.

At this time, Du Zhongxiao felt that it was too reckless to take on this errand. The errand can be done, but it can't be so urgent, and the time should be calm. He could have delayed for a few days, and this season was nothing more than a few months of money and food from the Transshipment Division. I was bent on making results quickly, and I was in too much of a hurry, which made me very embarrassed now.

When he returned to the yamen and discussed some miscellaneous matters with Master Cui, Du Zhongxiao only felt physically and mentally exhausted. Just as he was about to go back to rest, Master Cui suddenly said: "Judge, there is a new director in our yamen, and he will be here in two days." ”

Du Zhongxiao glanced at the official document in Master Cui's hand, and said casually: "Who is here?" What day to get here? ”

Director Cui said: "It was Su Song who originally knew Yongcheng County, because there was a camp there, and he was sent to help with the transportation sentence, and he was limited to arrive before March." ”

When Du Zhongxiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Show it to me!" This man I know well, a man who can do things. ”

took the official document in his hand, Du Zhongxiao read it, and only then did he know that Su Song had completed his tenure as the magistrate of Yongcheng County, and was promoted to the Dali Commentator, and came to be the supervisor of the Yamen of the Yingtian Affairs. This is not his own request, it may be that Su Song shoots it himself.

In the past, most of the camps were made up of the deputy of the transfer envoy and the deputy of the camp, and the governors, the general judges, and the counties were specifically responsible, and there were few special yamens. This time, there are too many fiber-pulling armies that have been dismantled, and a special yamen has been set up, and the scale is somewhat unclear. At the beginning, Du Zhongxiao first came, only set up a master book, and later found that he was too busy, Du Zhongxiao asked for a special supervisor of official affairs, and the seniority was equivalent to that of the county and the general judgment.

For Su Song, instead of changing places to be the magistrate, it is better to go to Du Zhongxiao's subordinates. In the same year, the two knew each other well, and their official duties were relatively calm. Moreover, the affairs of the yamen such as the camp and field affairs are relatively simple, and they are not as complicated as the local affairs. Moreover, he is good at ingenuity, and in the past few years in Yongcheng County, he has new ideas on some of the field affairs set up by Du Zhongxiao, and he also wants to communicate with Du Zhongxiao.

At this time, the official positions of the two were already far apart, Du Zhongxiao was already a middle-level official, and there were only one or two thousand people in the world with a higher status than him, including civil and military officials. Su Song is still the most junior official, and his career has just started.

However, the seniority of the two is about the same, Du Zhongxiao is just one more intellectual, and he takes a step or two faster.

Officials, positions, and dispatches are three systems. The official is the status, which represents the salary and treatment. Career is the future, and there are some preferential treatments. Dispatch is the actual ministry, the specific work to be performed. Officials are rewarded for their merits, and the official position represents that you have done a lot of things, made a lot of contributions, and has a high status. The position represents the future of the official, which lane you are in the officialdom. The explanation of the position of the embassy is a fast track in the officialdom, and it is easier to get a good dispatch than ordinary officials. Of course, the museum is also divided into several small systems, and there are high-speed lanes in the fast lane, for example, some museum jobs are to be trial-produced, which is the alternative of the word minister, and Du Zhongxiao can't get to the highway.

Unlike officials and positions, dispatch has its own promotion system. Because of the grinding system, a fixed seniority order has been formed, and officials must be promoted in order. If there is no big opportunity, the Jinshi with an average rank can only be promoted to the Beijing official after three terms of ten years. The two governors of the county were promoted to the general judgment, and the two general judgments were promoted to the state, and it was more than ten years. Only those who have two sentences or official positions of the same rank will be promoted to the transfer envoy. At this point, most of my life has passed. If you stumble a little, and you are only promoted to a transshipment envoy at the age of sixty or seventy, then you will be like this for most of your life. After being promoted to the transfer envoy, you can enter the center, and the order of seniority is not so important.

There is an exception in the dispatch system, and that is the Tai Zhi Chen. Once you become an advisor, you can not be promoted according to this fixed seniority, but from the path of the imperial historian, you can become a scholar of the knowledge system and a bachelor of Hanlin, and quickly enter the center. Along this road, some have not even been local pro-people officials like Zhizhou and County, and they have become prominent in a few years, such as Qian Mingyi. Only a few years ago was there a clear edict, and there must be a pro-people official.

Therefore, if the emperor takes a fancy to someone and wants to be promoted quickly, he usually puts him in the court first, and then knows the system. The official position of the intellectual system is not high, but once he is promoted, he breaks the conventional restrictions, and he can be promoted to Zaifu within a few years.

Du Zhongxiao knew that he couldn't be an official of the minister, and he knew that the highway, but he didn't have good driving skills and dared to go up, so he had to work hard to be a magistrate. In the past few years, he has made great contributions, and the court also has important ministers who appreciate it, but he is only released to make a fortune judgment, and he has to bring a power word, but the seniority is not enough.

Before coming to Tangzhou, the emperor and the prime minister both had the intention of letting Du Zhongxiao be civil and military, and Du Zhongxiao was also moved, because it was also a way to bypass the seniority. In addition to the military generals who are extremely responsible, the relative seniority in the army is not so important, and meritorious promotion is much faster.

In the final analysis, meritorious service is rewarded by the imperial court, not by dispatch. No matter how fast the official rises, he can only climb up step by step.

Just like now, Du Zhongxiao's official rank is more than a dozen orders higher than Su Song's, but it is only less than two terms. Su Song does the general judgment with the word power, and Du Zhongxiao does the same as Zhizhou with the word power, and the two of them happen to be superiors and subordinates.

Putting down the official document, Du Zhongxiao said to Master Cui: "This Su Song is my year, and he is very disciplined, if he comes, we will be much easier." Now that the yamen has been created, everything is complicated, and there is really a shortage of officials to do things. ”

The main book is a petty official in the yamen, whose status is equivalent to that of a county order or a record to join the army, or to choose people, which is far from Du Zhongxiao, and much lower than Su Song's supervisor of official affairs, and is a specific worker. At present, there is only one chief official in the Yingtian affairs yamen, Du Zhongxiao, and Cui is a junior official at the grassroots level, and there is a shortage of middle-level officials. If the proposed layoffs follow, more officials will be added. If not, you will have to borrow people from the local government.

Among the magistrates, the magistrates and magistrates, because they belonged to the expatriate officials of the imperial court, were often appointed by the transfer envoys to other prefectures and counties in the province to do temporary work. However, some time ago, when Zhang Fangping was on Shaanxi Road, he found that many magistrates were sent to other places and did not return to their counties for a long time.

Originally, Du Zhongxiao could borrow officials from Tangzhou, but now there is a vacancy in Tangzhou, and no one is available, so he is so embarrassed. Zhizhou is Du Zhongxiao's immovable, let alone a transfer judge, and the transfer envoy cannot appoint Zhizhou to do other things.
