My life skills in Daming Liver

County Magistrate Bai was born as a Jinshi of the top three classes, so he was not eligible to participate in the selection of the hall, and he had no one in the court, so he could not stay in the capital, so he had to be a county magistrate in Nanping.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were also distinctions between being an official and being an official. If one could pass the official selection and become a good scholar, it would be Qingliu Huaxuan. You don't need to go through the local government to become an official, and you can rise to the top and become a reserve member of the imperial court.

As for the county magistrate Bai, he is about to fall into the turbid stream. Starting from the county magistrate, he accepts the examination, and by continuously accumulating official reputation and reputation, he can win promotion opportunities by pleasing his superiors and court officials, and finally he can be promoted to an official in the court. Even if it is burning high incense.

However, county magistrates like Bai are much better than elevating people to become officials. After the middle of Ming Dynasty, except for the special case of Hai Rui, the end point for most people to become officials is the county magistrate.

The ending point of some people is the starting point of some people. Being an official in the Ming Dynasty was so cruel, and one imperial examination determined one's life.

County magistrate Bai is a Jinshi who was only about forty years old. This age is quite satisfactory among Jinshi, but compared to those Juren classmates, he is already very satisfied.

County magistrate Bai is a typical bureaucrat of the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called typical bureaucrats are not the kind of corrupt officials who try their best to rob people's daughters and ransack the homes of wealthy households to eat what they want.

It is still in the Jiajing period, the basic order of the Ming Dynasty is still there, Nanping County is also prosperous, and there are many families in the area who have been scholars. If Bai County Magistrate is so reckless, he will definitely be impeached.

This is definitely not to say that County Magistrate Bai is an upright official who was only awarded a Jinshi at the age of forty, and County Magistrate Bai is not a son of a prominent family.

You must know that a corrupt official like Yan Maoqing who was able to enter Ming history as a cruel official is also a top-ranking corrupt official.

County magistrate Bai was at best a cog in the decayed machine of the Ming Dynasty, greedy and obedient to the rules, nothing outstanding.

At the level of the county magistrate, there is no need to rob the food of the villagers like the subordinates, nor to rob the women of the people, and there is no need to shout and kill every day. As long as he sits in the position of the county magistrate, it should be natural. Both.

If the exploitation is more serious, you only need to tell the subordinate staff to do it. If the subordinate staff do too much, then just arrest one or two subordinate staff to appease the anger of the people. Why do you need to dirty the hands of the officials.

All in all, after Bai County Magistrate took office as Nanping County Magistrate, he got along quite happily with the local officials and gentry, and he was able to pay all kinds of taxes and levies required by the court on time. No disaster either.

As for the Japanese pirates, the county magistrate is responsible for guarding the land. If the Japanese pirates invaded Nanping County, it would be natural for Baizhi County to dismiss him.

But the nearby Japanese pirates and Baizhi County have a tacit understanding. They only invade the outside of the county and never attack the county seat. Naturally, the annual report to the above is "nothing happened this year".

Both the government and the province are also willing to "govern with nothing to do", and will only report "nothing to do this year" to the imperial court. The county magistrate Bai has been safe and sound since he took office.

In the Ming Dynasty, the promotion of officials was determined by examination results. Now it is not the time for Zhang Juzheng to implement the "examination method". As long as most officials do not fall into the lower ranks, they can lie comfortably in office and earn money.

However, magistrate Bai also has progressive ideas. For an official with progressive ideas like him, the only thing he pays attention to every day is "success in the exam".

Tax collection must be completed, anyway, no matter if it is paid by rich households or poor households, as long as it can be collected, County Magistrate Bai is concerned about whether the tax collection can be sufficient.

There must be few lawsuits, those who can be mediated in the Shenming Pavilion must not go to court, and the lawsuits must be settled as soon as possible, and they must not go to the superiors for review.

There must be many good people and good deeds in the county. Every year, we must try our best to set up a few models to commend them. After all, the letters issued are also one of the indicators for the examination. The more letters issued, it means that the people of Nanping County are honest and honest, and it means that the county magistrate The better educated.

If there are no typical ones, then write good materials and get a few more typical ones. It is good that the government of Nanping County is well-organized and the people are harmonious. Only then can the county magistrate Bai get a higher grade in the examination and have more opportunities for promotion.

This is the thinking of a typical grassroots bureaucrat of the Ming Dynasty. They may not have any idea of ​​shocking the performance of the country, they just want to surpass their colleagues in the daily assessment, and then they can be promoted step by step.

But Baizhi County has not been happy recently.

The reason for the unhappiness was naturally the instruction from the county school of Hai Rui.

The culture and education of a county is also one of the indicators for the county magistrate to be evaluated. Originally, Nanping County was the leader in this indicator, and Baizhi County didn't have to worry too much at all.

It is also because Nanping County's literary style is prosperous, and it can be among the best in every imperial examination.

However, after Hai Rui's teaching took charge of the county school, he forced the county students to drop out of school, which violated the interests of Baizhi County.

The reason why Baizhi County is not happy is of course not because those students from the county were kicked out of the county school and did not receive the salary of two taels of silver a month. As the magistrate of a county, these ordinary students who are not even juren , but still can't get into the eyes of Baizhi County.

Even if they criticized Hai Rui again, Baizhi County didn't care.

What Baizhi County really cares about is that the county school cannot be fully qualified, which will affect his test scores.

It affected his test scores and his progress, so when Hai Rui gave lectures to the students on the first day today, the magistrate of Bai County went to the county school.

The magistrate's guard of honor came in front of the county school, and Bai Zhixian got off the sedan chair, but saw only two county school instructors kneeling outside the Lingxing gate, Bai Zhixian's mood immediately became bad.

The two county school teachers were also unlucky. The last time Hai Rui's city gate welcomed the new magistrate, they were the two of them who knelt to greet him but Hai Rui didn't kneel. The next short peak is the two of them, making them unable to lift their heads in the county.

Now that the county magistrate came to inspect the county school, Hai Rui refused to come out to greet him, and what's more, the two disciplines he conducted were not human.

Now that they want to resign, they are afraid that they will not be able to survive in Nanping County if they follow this Hai Jiaoyu.

"Where is your Haijiao?"

The tone of Baizhi County was already bad, and one of the instructors immediately said:

"Return to Master Zhixian, Hai Jiaoyu is teaching."

Baizhi County didn't have an attack, but entered the county school with his subordinates in a mighty manner. When they reached the gate of the school building, they saw Hai Rui standing upright.

Bai Zhixian stepped forward, Chen Chaoyuan, Xiong Yue, and Lin Qingcai had already knelt down with weak knees, only Hai Rui and Su Ze stood in place.

Bai Zhixian looked at Hai Rui, and said in a joking tone, "I'm patrolling the county schools today. It's the official business of the county magistrate. Why don't you kneel down?"

Naturally, this sentence was used to stop Hai Rui from saying "kneel when things go wrong" when he refused to kneel down to the magistrate. To inspect the county schools is also the magistrate's job, this time Hai Rui can't use the same excuse as last time.

Unexpectedly, Hai Rui still walked for two weeks before saying to Baizhi County:

"The county respect is the parents of a county, and the county should be governed by etiquette. This church, the land of teachers and priests, should not be bent."
