Chapter 154: The Old Department of Yongzhou
In the ordinance, Wang Gongchen and Wang Bin were sitting together and chatting, their eyebrows fluttering, and their spirits were flying. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
No need to ask, they are talking about the cases of the public officials. This kind of large-scale effort of arresting hundreds of people at a time has not been in the capital for many years, and it has become everyone's best talking point.
Seeing Xu Ping come in, several people hurriedly saluted and said hello.
Xu Ping looked left and right and asked, "What about Gao Chengduan?" ”
Wang Gongchen said: "I am discussing with the chief of the stone pavilion in the wing room next to me about printing the new regulations." Looking for him? Or I'm going to call them over. ”
"No, I'll go find them." Xu Ping turned around and was about to go out, when he remembered something and turned around. "By the way, in the next few days, there will be a lot of novice officials in the three divisions, and they are here to learn the new regulations. In the following days, everyone worked hard to compile the new regulations in the shortest possible time, just so that they could use them. There are not enough people, so I will ask for people in the pavilion again, and it is a big deal to let their books be repaired for a month. The regulations are compiled, and I will give you credit! ”
Wang Gongchen, who is full-time in the pavilion and school, likes the most is to ask for merit and promotion. In the capital, as much credit as the tip of a fingernail can be seen by the emperor and the minister, and the promotion is the fastest. If you miss this opportunity, you will be sent to the following states and counties to serve as officials in the future, and you may not be able to see it from above, and it will be slow for officials to rise.
After thanking Xu Ping together, the spirits of several people were obviously invigorated.
When I arrived at the wing room, I saw Shi Quanbin and Gao Chengduan discussing some of the regulations of the three divisions that had been compiled, and when they saw Xu Ping coming in, they hurriedly got up to salute.
Xu Ping stepped forward, looked at the large pile of papers on the table, and sat down on the chair.
The miscellaneous servant brought the tea over, and Xu Ping took a sip.
Putting down the teacup, Xu Ping said to Gao Chengduan: "This time, the case of collusion and fraud by the public officials can be solved, and you have contributed a lot." I will do my best to appoint you as the chief of the Ordinance Editing Institute, and when I went to the government hall in the morning, the deacons had agreed. I think that tomorrow there will be an official document to the official court, where things are procrastinating, you have nothing to do and urge it. ”
Gao Chengduan listened, couldn't believe it for a while, and was stunned there.
Shi Quanbin pulled his sleeve on the side and whispered, "Don't thank the marquis soon!" ”
Gao Cheng came back to his senses and bowed deeply in front of Xu Ping: "The county marquis is very kind, and his subordinates will never forget!" ”
"No, you have made meritorious contributions, and this is what you deserve. In the future, I will work with peace of mind in the three divisions, and fight for a future for myself and my children and grandchildren. Do it step by step, and there will always be a day to get ahead. ”
Gao Chengduan respectfully responded.
Although he is the lowest-level clerk, he is also an official who selects people, and compared with his previous status as a public official, it is nothing less than the difference between heaven and earth. If you become an official, you will become an official household, and you will be treated more or less preferentially, and you can also be promoted slowly according to your seniority. This is something that Gao Chengduan thinks about day and night, and today his dream finally came true.
Gao Chengduan thanked him for his kindness, and Xu Ping and Shi Quanbin soothed him for a while before he calmed down, and he stood aside alone and slowly reminisced.
Xu Ping called Shi Quanbin, flipped through the manuscript on the table and asked, "How is it?" It's been a few days since the book engraving bureau was opened, so there's nothing wrong with printing these, right? It is estimated that in a few days, new officials will be recruited, and in the future, they will have to do things according to the new regulations. Until then, the new regulations of the three divisions must be printed one after another. ”
Shi Quanbin said: "The two of us are discussing this matter, and those words are fine with printing, but some of the pictures and tables in them are difficult to do." If you use engraving, it is time-consuming and effortless, and it is not easy to arrange the layouts together. The result of our two business theories is that the chart is printed with an engraving plate and attached to the back of the text, what does Yun Xing think? ”
Xu Ping thought about it, it is not impossible to use charts as attachments, and it is also one of the regular practices of books. However, the books of this era are large in words, and each book is relatively thin, and it is inconvenient to consult and not intuitive after the chart is separated.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Ping said: "Leave this matter to me, you can do it according to your own ideas first." ”
Anyway, this is the first edition of the emergency, and the follow-up will be revised soon, so there is no need to worry about these details.
At this moment, a soldier walked quickly to the door, and said in a loud voice: "Report to the deputy envoy, a few soldiers came from outside the yamen to ask to see me, saying that it was the old department when the deputy envoy was in Yongzhou." ”
"Oh, isn't it that the Bridge Road Army has finally arrived?" Xu Ping stood up, "Hurry up and let them in!" ”
After leaving the wing, Xu Ping returned to the main hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few big men walking in behind the soldiers guarding the door of the third division.
When the first big man saw Xu Ping, he stepped forward quickly, and saluted with his crossed hands: "Subordinate Lu Fang, I have seen the county marquis!" ”
Xu Ping looked at Lu Fang, who had been separated for a long time, with a face full of surprise, and looked him up and down: "Lu Fang, when did you transfer to the Qiaodao Army?" Didn't you say that you should lead the troops? ”
Lu Fang was a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from the marquis, I was tired of staying in Lingnan and took the initiative to transfer here." Anyway, there is no family drag, just come to the capital to have a look, and it is more comfortable to do things under the county marquis! ”
"Okay, good, the bustling place of the capital, it's time to take a look."
Xu Ping said as he asked a few of his old subordinates to come into the room and sit down.
Wang Gongchen and the others saw that they were Xu Ping's guests, and they didn't know what the origin was, so they said hello and went their separate ways.
The miscellaneous officials served tea, and Xu Ping casually asked about their experience on the road. Although Lingnan is far away, these bridges and tunnels still have too much time for military use, and in the end they are still soldiers.
Lu Fang said: "The marquis doesn't know, it's not easy for us to go this way. We all know that the roads in Yongzhou are good, and many of the states and counties we pass through have us to build roads and bridges for the local area. Although there are not many roads built along the way, there are really many bridges, so it is delayed. ”
There are many prefects who are appointed as high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and some are relatives of the emperor, and ordinary local governors can not care, and it is not easy to refuse when they encounter this kind of open bridge, and they have to walk along the way.
Xu Ping felt funny when he heard it, this is no way to do it, for the benefit of the official for one party, build a bridge on the local area, and the people will read your good, which is also their own credit to the court. Which of these good things will be spared? If they go to the local government now, they will definitely leave something behind when they encounter this kind of military crossing.
One of the commanders of the Qiaodao Xiang Army from Yongzhou had already turned around halfway and went directly to Luoyang, Xijing, where he was waiting for Han Zong and followed him to Shaanxi Road. The rest of the people were led by Lu Fang, and they only arrived outside Tokyo yesterday. After the Privy Council handed over the official affairs, several leaders followed Lu Fang today to meet the old prefect Xu Ping. (To be continued.) )
