My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 181 Engagement (ask for a monthly ticket!)

It was not the eunuch who announced the decree.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Pedestrian Department, who sent out his pedestrians to issue edicts, canonize the clan, appease the Quartet, recruit talents, rewards, condolences, relief, military affairs, and sacrifices.

There are three high-ranking court officials in the Pedestrian Division, namely the Pedestrian Division Zheng and the Left and Right Pedestrian Division Deputy, all of whom are Jinshi, and they can be regarded as Qingliu officials.

Under the three court officials, there are also exiled officials of varying numbers. Just like Hai Rui's county school instruction, they are also filled by Juren.

The Deputy Chief of the Department of Pedestrians is responsible for errands such as envoys to feudal states, while the work of canonizing officials is done by low-level pedestrians.

Dai Xingren, who came to announce the appointment, has roots, but a person's character has little to do with whether he has roots or not.

The Department of Pedestrians is the Qingshui Yamen. Under normal circumstances, it is a good job to deliver official documents to the yamen of various ministries in the capital.

Dai Xingren managed to snatch this good job, pulled the tiger skin of the imperial court's important affairs, searched a lot of silver along the way, and finally arrived in Nanping County within the deadline set by the imperial court.

Every government office in the Ming Dynasty had a set of effective blackmail methods. After Dai Xingren left the capital, he would blackmail the post station on the grounds of imperial court affairs and ask for the best horse in the post station.

Then, after the pedestrian Dai snatched the good horse, he immediately replaced the good horse with a bad horse, and then walked slowly to the next station.

By the time he arrived at Yanping Mansion, it was already the deadline.

The person who sent Dai Xingren to the post station notified the government office to receive the order, and then rushed to the government office to announce the order.

Hearing that the imperial court had come, Zhang Sijing, the promotion official of Yanping Mansion, rushed back from sightseeing outside the city. He thought that the imperial court wanted to revive him, so he came triumphantly to the gate of the mansion.

"My lord, have the people from the Pedestrian Division arrived yet?"

Fang Zhifu glanced at the same year, since he took office as the Tuiguan of Yanping Mansion, this Tuiguan Zhang has been doing nothing.

The government officials have the duty to inspect and retry the county government's judgments. After taking office, this official Zhang sent all appeal cases back for retrial. He never even tried to interrogate the parties. He hung out with celebrities in Nanping Prefecture every day. Let’s talk about Yangming’s philosophy of mind together.

It is said that this official Zhang Tui also ordered the government servants in the Tui government to build a "shabby pavilion" on Wufeng Mountain, taking the meaning of "there are great scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in communication" in the inscription of Liu Yuxi in Tang Dynasty. In the pavilion, Huang Shixing, a student from the government office, was quite favored by the official Zhang Tui, and it was said that Huang Shixing would be recommended to the new inspector Wang.

Fang Zhifu was already very disappointed with this same year, this guy came back from outside the city after hearing the news?

Could it be that he thought the passers-by were here to announce the decree to him?

Seeing Zhang Sijing's triumphant look, Fang Zhifu rolled his eyes.

Zhang Sijing was full of anticipation in his heart, wondering if it was his memorial that made the emperor wake up, knowing that he had been wronged by his talent, and ordered him to return to Beijing to take up an important position, and from then on, he would rise steadily.

Zhang Sijing originally looked down on Fang Wanghai, a top-ranked Jinshi, but now his nostrils were turned upside down, and he felt that Fenghou and Prime Minister were right in front of him.

Dai Xingren rushed to the county seat, holding the official document, and asked arrogantly: "Where is Fang Wanghai if you know the affairs of Yanping Mansion?"

Fang Zhifu straightened his clothes and immediately stepped forward: "The minister is here."

Then he stretched out his hand and stuffed the prepared red seal into Dai Xingren's hand.

Now Dai Xingren's tone was much better, he cupped his hands and said to the prefect, "Please set up the incense case, the magistrate, please accept the order."

Zhang Sijing stood aside, did Fang Wanghai receive the order?

How can it be?

He is a local magistrate, even if he is promoted, it is just a normal ups and downs of the court, and there is no need for the court to send pedestrians!

The imperial court dispatched pedestrians, which were all confidential duties, and Wang Hai was a top-ranked Jinshi, why?

Zhang Sijing was about to go crazy, Dai Xingren took out the official document of the Ministry of Officials, and began to read the imperial edict.

Zhang Sijing was even more jealous and maddened by the censor of the right Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is a pure official of the fourth rank!

Envoys from all over the world to fast and rejoice? Jiangnan and Zhejiang Chaoguan envoys, what kind of position is this?

After the imperial decree was read out, Zhang Sijing finally found out that Fang Zhifu suddenly had to be awarded an important position, and he was the one who was selected for the Pingwa Policy!

Shy minister! Luckily!

Zhang Sijing immediately labeled Fang Zhifu a strict party!

Asking the emperor to worship the sea god, isn't that a traitor?

What kind of envoys are there? Although I don't understand, this is not exploiting the people and competing for profit with the people.

Zhang Sijing hated madly in his heart, but it was a pity that he was not a speech officer, so he could not write a letter to impeach the treacherous officials!

Zhang Sijing quickly realized that he still had friends in the capital, so he wrote a letter immediately!

They must impeach a treacherous official like Fang Wanghai!

Zhang Sijing was already jealous to the point of fuzzy.

Standing in the ceremony viewing team, Baizhi County is full of envy.

As the Zhengyin official of Nanping County, Baizhi County also followed up with the Pingwa policy.

He also once imagined that he could rise to the top of the clouds with one strategy, but he never thought that such a dreamy thing would happen to him.

Baizhi County suddenly remembered a rumor in the county that Su Ze was selected as the head of the case by Fang Zhifu because of a plan. Could it be that Fang Zhifu's plan was inspired by Su Ze's theory?

The magistrate of Bai County silently looked at Su Ze who was standing in the team of freshmen. That's right. In the case of the Cai family last time, Fang Zhifu bypassed the county to help Su Ze deal with the Cai family. Seeing Su Ze's young face, Bai Zhixian suddenly thought of a possibility.

At this time, Baizhi County only hated that he did not have a daughter of the right age.

As the protagonist this time, Fang Wanghai was in a daze.

He didn't expect the imperial court to give him such a big reward!

Youqian Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the fourth rank, and more importantly, an errand!

Jiangnan and Zhejiang Chaoguan envoys! According to the practice of promotion in the Ming Dynasty, if this type of foreign imperial envoy has done a good job, he will be promoted when he returns to the court.

And going up to the fourth rank is itself a hurdle for the promotion of the court.

Because from the top four grades, the number of officials has dropped sharply, and they have officially entered the ranks of senior bureaucrats.

The Minister of the Six Departments of the third grade, this is the deputy chief of the Six Departments, and he can be an important minister in charge of the affairs of the cabinet in the future.

As long as Fang Zhifu has done his job as a bank envoy, he can rise to the top and become an important official of the imperial court!

This kind of speed is fast even among the concubines!

After completing the full set of ceremonies, Fang Zhifu continued to arrange for Dai Xingren, and took over the new official robes and seals prepared by the court, as well as the appointment and dismissal certificates and other documents.

Fang Zhifu also saw Su Ze among the county students. He wanted to take Su Ze to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take office, but he quickly held back.

Su Ze is about to take the provincial examination. For scholars, the fame of Juren is very important, but his fame must not be missed.

The magistrate's yamen was naturally full of joy. After the dinner, Fang Zhifu said to Mrs. Li:

"The order from the imperial court came in a hurry. I will soon prepare my bags and go to Jiangnan to take up my post and prepare to build the Chaoguan."

Mrs. Li also appreciates it very much. The husband and wife are one, and the husband gets a promotion and a salary increase. Naturally, she is also prosperous. She immediately understood and said:

"Master, just go, I will take care of the house."

Fang Zhifu nodded and said: "The situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is tense now. I don't want to take you to take office for the time being. You take your son and daughter back to your natal family in Quanzhou Prefecture first. I will pick you up after I settle down."

Mrs. Li nodded. Officials of the Ming Dynasty can choose to take their families with them, or they can take their posts without them.

However, Fang Zhifu's ancestral home is in the north, so Fang Zhifu simply arranged for them to go to their natal family first, and then picked them up after they settled down.

Mrs. Li asked, "Lan'er's marriage?"

Fang Zhifu said: "I will ask Hai Jiaoyu to be a matchmaker, and I will get the letter of appointment first!"

Mrs. Li had to wait for Su Ze to be admitted to Jinshi, but when she saw that Su Ze's strategy made her husband rocket to promotion, she took a step back and said:

"Then we have to wait until we are admitted to Juren before getting married!"

Fang Zhifu glared at the ignorant woman, but also said: "I wanted to take Su Ze to the post, but I can't ruin his future. After he is hired, you should take care of him more in Quanzhou Mansion. Don't let him go." Show off the arrogance of an official."

Mrs. Li stared back and said: "You were much worse than my uncle when you were studying, and I never disliked you, so how could I dislike him!"

After the discussion between the husband and wife, Fang Zhifu immediately invited Hai Rui and asked him to mention the engagement to Su Zhe.

Hai Rui naturally agreed, he was very fond of Su Ze, Fang Zhifu was strict in running the family, and the daughter of the Fang family was naturally Su Ze's good match, so he returned to the county school immediately.

In the study room of the county school, Hai Rui said softly: "The magistrate asked me to be a matchmaker. The young lady in his mansion is about the same age as you and has never been engaged. Now he wants to marry you. What do you think?"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment, getting married?

Hai Rui continued: "The prefect Fang has just received an important position in the imperial court. You also have to take the provincial examination this year. You just need to get the letter of appointment first, and then decide on the marriage."

"I know that your parents are gone, but the elders of the family have to decide on such a big event. I will let you go back to Changningwei for a few days off, and invite the elders of the clan to organize it?"

Is this too hasty?

Su Ze opened his mouth, but couldn't say no.

You must know that this is Daming with strict etiquette, once he refuses, it will be tantamount to cutting off contact, thinking of Fang Ruolan and Su Ze is also vaguely moved.

But another figure appeared in his mind.

Hai Rui saw that Su Ze did not refuse, so he naturally knew about Su Ze's situation.

Hai Rui thought it was a good marriage at first, so he continued: "On weekdays you call me teacher, and your parents are away, so I, the teacher, make the decision. I met the girl from the Fang family before in the inner house, and she is indeed a good match. I will accompany you Go back to Changningwei to settle this marriage!"

Su Ze's mind was buzzing, but he didn't know how to refuse.

Hai Rui said again: "You're going to take the country test soon, make sure things are settled quickly so that you can study hard."

The other party has understood to this point, if they don't accept it, I'm afraid they will become enemies.

Su Ze thought about it carefully, the Fang family was indeed a good marriage partner.

The Fang family is not a rich family, but Fang Wanghai was transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, can he rely on him to deploy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the granary and the focus of finance and taxation of the Ming Dynasty. If Fang Wanghai really implemented the bill customs law, it would be equivalent to controlling the throat of Jiangnan's business taxation.

Not from the perspective of interests, Su Ze also admitted that Miss Fang is a good match.

He cupped his hands and said to Hai Rui, "Students listen to the teacher's decision."

Hai Rui was in a happy mood, and sure enough, he couldn't wait to return to Changningwei with Su Ze the next day.

After the continuous torrential rain passed, the countryside was full of vitality after Qingming. Hai Rui and Su Ze rode their horses towards Changning Guard. This was Hai Rui's first visit to Changning Guard.

Along the way, we stopped by the Jianxi Dam, watched the project of beaming water and flushing sand, Hai Rui stroked his beard and said:

"Ru Lin's water control skills are really extraordinary."

Immediately afterwards, seeing the people of Changningwei who were reclaiming wasteland along the coast, they surrounded Su Ze one after another. Hai Rui felt that Changningwei was like a paradise.

Hai Rui followed Su Ze into Changning Guard. Seeing the bustling scene of Changning Sanitation Machine, Hai Rui said happily:

"If the coastal guards can work as hard as the gang of Changning Guards, why worry about Japan's injustice!"

This is the rural life in his mind, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they can still hear the sound of reading aloud in the school of health.

It's just that Hai Rui didn't know what Su Ze looked like before he crossed Changning Guard, let alone the wealth of Chang Ning Guard, and the results of Lin Mojun's robbery at sea pretending to be Japanese pirates.

If it was according to Emperor Hongwu's design, it would be good if Changning Guard didn't starve to death.

Su Ze knew that Hai Rui's heart was still full of loyalty to the emperor at this time. Scholars like him always had the idea that "Master Hong Wu is always good, but the people below read the scriptures wrongly".

Hai Rui didn't grow up in the guards, and he didn't understand the problems in the coastal guards system, let alone the plight of the guards.

Even a good family like Lin Baihu and his daughter only brought Changning Guard into a more difficult situation. It is normal for the Coast Guard to participate in smuggling to survive.

Naturally, the reason for the downfall of the guardhouse cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Su Ze also knows that the current Hai Rui is not the Hai Rui who will not be safe in the future. hardship.

"Educating one side is what scholars of my generation should do!"

Seeing Su Ze's renewed health school, Hai Rui took the test for a few more students, and felt that Su Ze did a good job in Changning Wei.

Hearing that the county school teacher was coming, the old grandfather and nine aunts were also busy going to greet him.

Hai Rui saluted the two elders, and then explained his purpose.

"I came here as a matchmaker for Miss Fang's Jun family."

The old man looked at Su Ze, and immediately understood that the prefect's family wanted to marry Su Ze?

Ninth Aunt's heart skipped a beat, and she thought of a figure.

It's a pity that there is no fate, Aunt Jiu sighed inwardly, Su Ze is going to take the imperial examination, and the prefect's lady is obviously a good match.

Changningwei was not big, and the news that Su Ze was going to marry the magistrate's family quickly spread to Baihusuo.

Lin Mojun was practicing guns in the Baihu Institute. When Lin Liangjun told her the news, Lin Mojun held the red tasseled gun tightly.

She glanced at Lin Liangjun who had grown a lot taller this year, and said coldly, "Change your clothes and practice shooting with me."

Feeling the strong murderous aura, Lin Liangjun trembled all over. Now he has some understanding of the relationship between men and women, old lady, don't take your anger out on me!

Lin Liangjun was still suppressed by the blood and became a living target for Lin Mojun. After Lin Liangjun was taught a lesson and was about to pass out, Lin Mojun looked at the sea with a red-tasseled gun in his hand.

What exactly is Su Ze's ambition?

On Dong'ao Island, Su Ze has the same family name, and let Lin Mojun maintain the presence of the King of the Deer.

Su Ze studied hard like masochistic, what exactly is his ambition?

Lin Mojun's character was not to admit defeat since she was a child. She looked at the sea and then at the direction of Fucheng, and was silent for a long time.

Behind the mainland is the boundless ocean. Lin Mojun thought of the vast world Su Ze described.

Then Miss Zhifu can accompany him to ride the ocean?

Kicking the younger brother who was pretending to be unconscious, Lin Mojun said, "Go and deliver the gift for me!"

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Three Mutual Laws were very strict, with southern officials from the northern officials and northern officials from the southern officials, but soon it could not be implemented in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, because the vacant official positions did not care about you from the north to the south.

The three mutual laws also avoid in-laws, but during the Jiajing period, as long as they were not in the same prefecture, basically no one cared about it.

In addition, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty invented the "Three Mutual Law" that cannot be an official in the local area. This law is still in use today as a hidden rule for organizing personnel.

It was the Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. It can only be said that history is amazing.
