The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

There are more than 300 Jinshi in Ge Yun's class. After the joyful and sad graduation season, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials, everyone will go their separate ways and go to their posts.

Like Ge Yun, he was assigned to Dengzhou as a general judge.

Dengzhou is located in Shandong, and there is still a considerable distance from Tokyo.Although Yun Yanhui didn't understand it himself, he asked Bao Zheng for advice, and he knew that the area was very important, and it could be said that it was the root of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Song has always paid great attention to the selection of officials in Shandong, and also focused on supporting the negative economy of that area due to the previous wars, especially in Dengzhou, Qizhou, and Mizhou.

Being able to be assigned to Dengzhou, Ge Yun was about to go to heaven, and he didn't know where he got into the eyes of the officials.

As far as his official position is concerned, it is absolutely impossible for him to be assigned by the Ministry of Officials. Even if it is not appointed by the official, it is determined by the Zhongshu and approved by the official.

Moreover, as the second-in-command of the local government, Tong San should not only assist the governor, but also be able to supervise and report directly to the officials.Local political affairs must be decided by the prefecture and the general judgment before they can take effect.

Yun Yan replied jokingly: "The official values ​​you so much, do you want to have a kick with him and fulfill your promise?"

Ge Yun: "..."

The officials didn't care about Ge Yun's presumptuousness at the beginning, and Ge Yun was already very grateful.Among the three of their classmates who went to the Qionglin Banquet, which one of them didn't walk in vain when they came back.

——Although they were not as close as Ge Yun, the other two recognized him!

Ge Yun has made an agreement with them, don't tell other students.On the surface, he didn't want to scare them, but in fact, he wanted to scare these people in the future.

But at that time, even if these people still remember what the officials look like, they will not be as exciting as Ge Yun and the others.

Ge Yun pondered for a while, and said: "I think the government gave me such preferential treatment and sent me to Dengzhou, thanks to my practical experience in the government school!"

Over the years, the imperial court has ordered many times to lighten the tax on Shandong Road, encourage farming and encourage the economy. Everyone has taken various measures.And Ge Yun was born in Kaifeng Prefecture School, judging from his resume, he is quite worthy of Yun Yan's true biography of "doing things".

It seems very appropriate to put such a Tanhualang on Shandong Road to practice.

Ge Yun's mind is still relatively active. After hearing about his appointment, he was uneasy and hesitant at the beginning, but now he has become full of confidence after thinking clearly about the joints.

He believes that what he has learned can help him develop his ambitions in Dengzhou.

Seeing Ge Yun's full confidence, Yun Yanhui was also very relieved, "Dengzhou is high and the road is far away, we are beyond reach, you have to be careful yourself, when you get to the place, act cautiously, if it is not urgent, You can write a letter first to discuss with the teacher."

When Yunyan replied this sentence, she agreed to serve Ge Yun as a staff member in the rear.

This is not the treatment that every student has, not that Yun Yanhui is treated differently, but that other students are not as lucky as Ge Yun, or so miserable.

After Yunyan Hui's Ma Zai Zhisheng became a Jinshi, Yunyan returned and ran away and stuffed him on Jingji Road.With such a short distance, Yun Yanhui would not be able to make frequent contact, and let Zhisheng hone himself.

Ge Yun was different, he went to a farther place, and the local situation was more complicated, so Yunyan asked him to make more contact.

Ge Yun was overjoyed, and quickly thanked him.Although Yun Yanhui is a petty official who doesn't even have the qualifications for the imperial examination, he has already become a master, which is definitely a great help.

"I've always thought that your child is very lucky." Yun Yan said in an old-fashioned way.

Ge Yun: "..."

Can't you?Even though I was frightened a few times...

However, he later pondered over and over again that he could be a No. [-] player at his level, absolutely inseparable from two major helpers.One is that he has done the test questions beforehand, and the other is his background in Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise, it will be the end of being in the top ten.

"So you have to work hard on this trip, and give play to your advantages." Yun Yan encouraged Ge Yun, sat down again, and analyzed the local economy for him with the materials of Dengzhou.

Shandong Road's agricultural economy is recovering, but Dengzhou does not rely on farming and mulberry as its main income. The local jade industry is quite developed, and a lot of jade can be mined.Moreover, Dengzhou, Mizhou and other places are close to the sea, and many businessmen go ashore from these places.

The teacher and the student had a discussion on this, and they had a rough idea, and the rest had to be found out when Ge Yun went to the local area.

……

Soon after, Ge Yun and other three Jinshi set off for their posts. The teachers and students of Kaifeng Prefecture School saw them off on the bank of the river and under the elm willows.

The scholars wrote a lot of sour poems, and Yun Yan returned with some food...

After saying goodbye, Yiyi sent them off.

In ancient times, the friendship between teachers and students was relatively deep. Yun Yanhui, Ge Yun, and other students, as well as other teachers and students, all had their own orders.

Especially since they were all poor students, many teachers wished to stuff all the official knowledge they knew into their heads at once.

Now that they have left, the teachers are still sighing, feeling that there are some things that have not been finished, and what to do if they have a bad life when they get to the place.Especially Ge Yun, who went to such an important place.

"Last time I told Xiao Ge that he was lucky." Yun Yan replied, "And he is also very good at coming, and he is indispensable for all the activities in the government school. This time, you don't have to go to Dengzhou Too worried."

"Since Zhuifeng has said so, and we have so much confidence in him, then we don't need to worry." Someone laughed.

"Oh, I hope he really has good luck!"

-

This side sends Ge Yun away, while Yun Yanhui welcomes his returning Ma Zai on the other side.

Time flies, and by calculation, Zhisheng, who went to Heqiu to serve as an official of the tea case supervisor, has served for three terms. Because of his outstanding achievements, he was transferred back to Beijing as an official, which is considered a success.

In the past few years, Zhisheng came back less frequently. His two elder brothers first took care of Yunyanhui and the temple's cooperation business in Daxiangguo Temple, and later helped manage Yunyanhui's several shops in his home.

After six years of separation, seeing Zhisheng again, Yunyan went home and organized a banquet to welcome him.

Several years of work had made the white and tender monk rough and fleshy. When he was in Heqiu, he was introduced to marry the daughter of a local merchant. This time he came back with his family.

The reason why the merchant married his daughter to Zhisheng not only valued Zhisheng's status, but also because Zhisheng seemed to be particularly good at making money.

He doesn't take bribes or take bribes, but he has no choice but to work in an industry that is too lucrative. With that platform, he has made a lot of money intelligently in the past few years.

——So Zhisheng had to go to the tea case no matter what. Although the reputation of being a supervisor is not good, making money is really making money.

If it was Ge Yun, even if he was a Tanhualang in Dengzhou, including all the default filial piety and salary, even if he picked up a piece of gold every day, he would not be able to get so much money.

Of course, this is also everyone's own aspirations.Zhisheng seems to be an official because of his family and his hobby of making money. The government is more like a platform for him.

After returning, Zhisheng bought a new house, and took his wife to the outskirts of the city to look after the garden.

Zhisheng's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was both pleasantly surprised and worried, and said, "Our family is not a wealthy family. Would it be too frivolous to spread such a garden..."

She really wanted to come to her own garden. Zhisheng took her to see several places, all of which were very good, especially the place I saw now, which is a piece of Meizhu. It is said that the original owner's family used to make a living by selling plum blossoms every year. .If you live in this place, you will almost die.

Zhisheng glanced at Mrs. Zhang with a half-smile, "Who said I bought it for myself?"

Zhang: "..."

Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a while, and suddenly became bored, "It turns out that I want to take care of my boss..."

Zhisheng has just returned to Tokyo. If he wants to get along well in Beijing and China in the future, he must bleed and run to the official.Because I have saved a lot in the past few years, the benefits in the future will only be more, so after counting the cost of buying Meizhu, although Zhang's heart hurts, she still agrees.

Zhisheng shook his head, he didn't buy this Meizhu to give to his boss.He gave such a heavy gift to Yun Yanhui.

At the beginning, Yunyanhui and Zen Master Mingran showed kindness to their three brothers, especially Yunyanhui, who went to great lengths for him, without Yunyanhui, naturally he would not be where he is today.Therefore, the first thing Zhisheng did after he came back was to choose a suitable gift for Yun Yanhui.

When Yun Yan received the gift, she was also very surprised.

Mrs. Zhang may not understand the land price in Tokyo, but Yunyan knows that the place is in the suburbs, and there are a lot of plum blossoms, so the price can't be lowered.

Moreover, Zhisheng has been an official for several years, and he has become a lot more decisive. He bought it first and then returned it to Yunyan, making it clear that he did not want to refuse.

After thinking about it carefully, Yunyan still readily accepted.Everyone has been hypocritical for so many years, there is no need to be hypocritical, besides, there will be a long time to come.

……

Yunyan has been home for so many years, and compared to their family resources, the place where they live can be said to be simple.It's not that he couldn't afford a place like Meizhu, it's just that he didn't buy it.The later manor was mainly given to Shuangyi and his wife.

Now that Zhisheng sent Meizhu, Yunyan thought about it, it was actually good, and there will be another place for leisure in the future.This place is not the same as Tao Zhiyao's manor. It is mainly about the scenery, which is called a garden.

Because Yu Hao has been busy supervising the construction of the palace all these years, Yun Yanhui only asked him to recommend candidates to transform Meizhu into a private garden.

Because it is near the water, you can avoid the heat in summer, and in winter and spring, you can enjoy plum blossoms in Meizhu.

Yunyan got a new place in the garden, and his good friends soon found out about it, and made reservations early, to go to admire the plum blossoms at that time, and Yunyan was full of promises.He deliberately asked people to design more houses, so that it would be convenient to receive guests at that time.

Zheng Ping and his wife liked the place very much after seeing it, and they often cared about the progress.

……

When Yunyan returned to take care of her private garden, Ge Yun had been in office for more than a month.

After Ge Yun arrived in the local area, he was busy with government affairs and building a good relationship with his new colleagues. He was quite busy.

But while he was busy, he did not forget his relatives and friends in Tokyo.Knowing that the jade industry in Dengzhou is very developed, I even inspected it in person and bought some souvenirs by the way.

Because of this, a few days later, his gentleman from Tokyo, Yun Yanhui, was urgently recruited into the palace.

Yun Yan looked blankly at Renzong, Bao Zheng and others, and found that they all had uncontrollable joy on their faces.

"What, what's wrong?"

Renzong leaned forward and said, "Ge Yun, Ge Changfeng, do you know how he is doing in Dengzhou?"

Seeing the expressions of Renzong and the others, Yunyan recalled that Dengzhou is the coast, so she also excitedly said, "Why, did he find any new crops at the maritime merchant over there?"

What sweet potatoes, corn, they are really worth a thousand dollars...

"Crops?" Renzong wondered, "No."

Renzong glanced at Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng said softly: "Dengzhou has appeared... a big gold mine."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

A gold mine, and a big gold mine? !

Yun Yan's first reaction was, damn it, what kind of shit luck is Ge Yun?
