Dress to be a celebrity

The quality of the doctoral dissertation is high!

No matter how many Qing palace dramas and ancient officialdom novels I read in my previous life, I can't compare to the dry goods in this paper!

The paper not only writes about the overall layout of the county government, the daily work of the county officials, how to manage the servants, and how to make friends with the gentry, but also includes many actual work cases of ancient county officials: After the three-year term expired, his home was ransacked to make up for the shortfall; for example, a county magistrate was as clean as water, and refused to be blackmailed by a high-ranking central official who returned home to visit his relatives, but was later found fault and dismissed; All the Shangguans who went to the county to eat liked it, and the promotion went smoothly...

Bright examples are in front of them, who should they learn from?

This is not a modern society with the rule of law, and the Three Views are no match for the reality. You still have to think about getting promoted, and reflect on yourself when you see bad luck.Song Shi read the thesis from beginning to end several times, locked the door of the room and copied it, writing down what he needed on a piece of paper as he copied it.

The copied thesis was locked in the bedroom cage, and he went out with the cheat sheet. He went to the bookstore to buy reference books such as "Dazheng Law", "Book of Political Leaders" and other reference books written by predecessors. The unspoken rules for being an official made a summary:

First, let his father go to the Ministry of Households to check the "Complete Book" to see how much food Rong County should pay each year, the county's population in recent years, and the situation of mountains, rivers and land; Whether there are any unsolved cases during the term of office, and whether the money and food owed to the Ministry of Households.

Before taking office, he must first send a decree to Rong County, and ask the subordinate officials to wait at the gate of the county seat to welcome him.The edict told them to check the money and food in the county treasury in advance, and list the unsolved cases accumulated before he took office——

In a word, even if the previous magistrate left long ago, the problems that should have occurred during his tenure must be clearly recorded, so that the court knows who is responsible, and they cannot blame the predecessor.

In the edict, a letter to the superior had to be attached, and the county magistrate should send it to the Chief Secretary and Fuzhou Yamen for him.It is enough to write simple orders to the subordinates, but to the superiors, they have to write a "report" according to the regulations, attach their official positions and resumes, and inform the leaders at all levels of the provincial government that they are about to take office.

Of course, it is not enough to just write a post to show your loyalty, you have to give a gift to the leader.

This unspoken rule was not written in "Politics", but the paper included the rules compiled by later generations of experts through Ming and Qing novels: Sending bosses can send ivory wats, tooth chopsticks, tooth combs, tooth fairy, rhinoceros belts, rhinoceros horn cups, gauze Tents, silk table and chair covers, finished silk, soap gauze boots... There are also incense cakes for incense and tonics of various grades.In addition, some small gifts have to be prepared for the wives, which don’t need to be too many, such as decorative jade hairpins, jade buckles, pearl flowers, pick cards and the like.

They have enough gifts for their bosses, but they still have to prepare money, prepare their daily necessities, and bring people.

Song Juren is so old, it is impossible for him to take office alone, he must bring his son to serve.Then you have to bring a few capable family members. The women clean up the back office, cook and wash clothes; the men usually do chores, drive cars, and act as bodyguards.In case the county government colludes to embarrass the new county magistrate, they can still follow Hai Rui's example and resign the government servant, and use their own family members to carry out executions.

Song Shi made a list of papers, and went directly to his mother-in-law, Madam Fan, to arrange for people to prepare luggage, choose suitable family members, and then remembered to ask for a cook who was good at cooking.When Song Juren and his sons came back from running around outside, they heard Mrs. Fan talk about Song Shi's arrangements, and then read the plan he wrote. They were both pleasantly surprised and emotional.

The joy is that Song Shi was able to worry about his father's political affairs at a young age, and the list he made was orderly, clear and detailed, which was better than his father who was so busy with official positions.What makes me feel emotional is that Song Shi was able to understand this at such an age, it must be Mr. Huan who taught him with all his heart...

Now Yu Ze is still around, but he has traveled westward on a crane.

Looking at the calm and calm posture of his youngest son, Song Juren seemed to see that extraordinary Jinshi back then. His heart ached, and he patted Song Shi on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Huan treated you with great kindness. In the future, you must remember this Kindness, after getting married, treat Miss Huan well, otherwise father won't be able to forgive you!"

Song Shi glanced at him inexplicably: "Father, who do you think your son is? I am your own son, how can I be the kind of person who messes with women!"

Song Juren coughed in embarrassment: "Who told you this! My father is afraid that after I go to Rong County, your mother and elder brother will indulge you, so that you don't want to make progress, and you will be as obsolete as Fang Zhongyong. Our family But I'm sorry for Miss Huan's family."

Song Shi said with a smile: "I was going to accompany Dad to Rong County. If Dad sees something wrong with my behavior, he can just teach me at any time."

Both his mother and elder brother were taken aback, and the second elder brother immediately stood up and pressed him and said, "How can I ask you to go! How old are you and what have you done? You stay at home to study, and I will go with my father."

Song Shi pressed his hand and said: "I can go. Second brother, you should know what I wrote, I understand... I heard something about being a foreign official in the Huan family, and I can help my father." busy."

In turn, he persuaded the two elder brothers: "If father wants to take his family members to the post, he should take my aunt Ji. It is more convenient for me to take care of me than the second brother. The eldest brother and the second brother just stay at home to take care of mother and take care of sister-in-law. With my nephews and nieces, I have also passed the Tongsheng exam, so I can take care of everything outside, and I am not a naughty boy who can't take care of things."

Song Shi calmly explained to the family: his father went to other provinces to take office, and they used to not only serve the old father, but also help with the affairs inside and outside the yamen, so as not to be deceived by the subordinates.The second elder brother has a reputation as a scholar, is older than him, and is more majestic under the imperial court. It seems that he is more suitable for the past than him; but he is also a child, not white, and he is a disciple of Huan Yushi and the future grandson-in-law of the Hanlin Mansion. In case of trouble, you can also borrow the name of the Yue family.

What's more, the second brother has a wife and children to take care of, and he is still a single dog. If he works overtime and travels on a business trip, the single person will be the first to take care of him. Isn't this a matter of course?

In Song Shi's previous life, he was a leader, and he was used to taking responsibility by himself. In this life, he must suffer hardships first, enjoy later, and follow his father to the south to become an official.

What he said were all facts, and for his father to be an official, it was best for him to go there.The family members couldn't talk about him, and couldn't persuade him, so they had no choice but to let him follow.

Mrs. Fan was so angry that she scolded her husband: "It's all because you are obsessed with officials. When you say you want to choose an official, you straighten your neck to choose, and you choose such a remote place, so I have to go with you... If you choose a teaching book close to you and teach it cleanly, do you need the children to worry about it!"

Mrs. Song taught his wife to complain for more than half a month, but she didn't dare to reply, so she could only listen with lowered eyebrows.It wasn't until he recruited two masters of Qianliang and Xingming, and took his concubine Jiaoer on the passenger boat going south, that he finally let out the foul breath.

He hurt himself for a while, then pulled Song Shi over to look at him for a long time, and said lovingly, "Shiguan, what will you do in the future."

His wife is still from Baoding Mansion, and he has nowhere to hide when he gets angry.It is said that the women in the capital are fond of bitterness and jealousy, and can bully their husbands more than those in other provinces. Pity his spoiled son, who doesn't know what he will be like in the future.

Song Shi didn't expect that his father was worried that his wife would be strict in the future. He thought he was worried that he would go south with him and it would be inconvenient to take the exam, so he smiled and said: "When my father comes to the Ministry of Officials for the examination next year, I will follow him to Beijing and take the exam along the way." Just go back. Otherwise, I will simply donate a supervisor here, and return to Beijing directly to take the exam in two years."

Only then did Song Juren come to his senses, patted his son on the back and said, "No way, the donated prison students are not as valuable as the honors obtained through serious examinations. When you arrive in Rong County, you should study hard and avoid chores. Don't delay your job." talent."

Although he took his son with him, he didn't want to use him for anything, he just wanted him to study safely under his protection.It's a pity that things are not as expected, and the county magistrate is not so easy to do.

Before entering the county seat, batch after batch of subordinate officials and scribes came to visit him.While inquiring about his preferences and trying to marry him with gifts, these people frightened them with the old rules of the county and the conflicts between the Han people and the local Yao people, trying to make him follow suit and let these people continue to hold power.

It is equivalent to Mr. Song issuing an ID card as a legal representative, and they run the company, and they take all the benefits. If something goes wrong, the Song family will take over the vat.

County magistrate Song is a person who has read books for most of his life, and he can't even get involved with intrigue; the two masters were found in a hurry, and the articles were well written, and the others were not particularly outstanding; in this case, Song Shi could only Stand up...to fight for his father.

Master Song chooses a good day and auspicious day to sacrifice to the Town God's Temple, and when he goes to the county government, he disembarks the sedan chair to worship the gate and the land.

When the new official took office, there were three fires, but Song County Magistrate did not burn these three fires, but his son burned them for him.

In the Song Dynasty, according to the hall regulations of a Qing Dynasty county magistrate attached to the thesis, combined with the rules and regulations of the travel agency in his previous life, he customized a detailed and strict hall regulations (with job responsibilities and attendance sheets).

In the morning, when the cloud board sounds seven times, all the staff of the yamen must go to the hall to register; when they go out to do business, they need to issue a receipt, and when they come back, they have to pay the bill; litigants are forbidden to enter and leave the hall; The student writes the complaint on behalf of the student, and if there is an existing complaint, the format will also be revised by the yin and yang student. It is not allowed to ask for money because the format does not match the card; it is forbidden to blackmail the plaintiff and the defendant...

Whenever he heard that there were clerks who forged documents, tax collectors who kicked the tips, yamen extorting money, or delaying in obeying orders, he would let his father take over the post directly, and the relatives, friends or children of other officials would take the place and let them do it themselves. Infighting.

He made a rule, asking the people in the yamen to supervise themselves, while he went deep into the local eunuchs and gentry, eating and playing with him, making a good village for his father, so that these big landowners would pay money, food and taxes on time.As for the landless poor, he asked his accompanying family members to set up small loans with low interest, lent farm tools and seeds to these people, and asked them to reclaim terraced fields or grow tea and fruit trees on the barren hills in the county.

Song Juren originally wanted to be the Qingtian himself, so that his son could study at ease under the shade, but as an official, his son became his backbone instead.Whether it was a difficult lawsuit, the lack of payment of grain and taxes, or the conflict between the Yao people and the Han people, the whole Yamen, including himself, could not help but look forward to Song Shi's return to deal with it.

His son has never disappointed him, no matter how big or small it is, he can always stand by his side...or stand in front of him, and take care of it properly for him.Even though his eyes were blackened and his complexion was dull, he never complained about suffering.

The only thing he regrets is that Song Shi doesn't study as hard now as he did when he was a child.

The most collected in his study are scripts, novels, and some folk songs copied from Yao people.He still writes articles, but the poems and essays he writes are no longer asked to be commented by his father, but are locked up immediately after writing, and sometimes he burns piles behind his back.When he was not busy with the affairs of the county, he often had fun with the local rich and idle children—not attending literary and poetry meetings like his elder brothers, but going in and out of Goulan cottages, watching a variety of operas, juggling, and drinking for fun.

County magistrate Song even heard from his servants that his son yelled at someone when he saw him drinking with someone!That fantou played the pipa for him!

County magistrate Song blushed with anger, ordered two teams of fast hands on the spot, and ran aggressively towards Wa Si, wanting to arrest those traitors who seduced his son into depravity.

But when he got to the tile, what he saw was not the rotten scene he had imagined.Although there are courtesans in light clothes playing the pipa and singing Liuci in the room, and the children sitting in the room are also drinking and drinking, looking fascinated, but in Song Dynasty, they supported their mouths with one hand and held the cup with the other, and they were separated from the people around them by more than a foot. The distance is like sitting alone on a high place overlooking the world.

His cheeks were dizzy from the drunkenness, but his eyes were still clear, as focused as reading a sage book, watching those people's fist gestures without blinking.

Lord Song and his entourage rushed into the room, startled the children who were drinking and punching, sweating coldly, and several prostitutes hurriedly stood up and saluted.Song Shi saw that he brought so many people in, and wanted to get up, but his movements were much slower than usual. He stood up after supporting the table twice, showed him a bright smile, greeted him and said :

"Father, when I have money, I will buy you terraced fields for water-saving irrigation..."
