Chapter 589 Staff

Qian Qianyi heard the news that Qian Yiai was going to choose an official and breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his post. Seeing that he was so angry, Qian Yiai quickly stepped forward to ease his father's breath.

But when Qian Yiai just walked to Qian Qianyi, Qian Qianyi waved his left hand and slapped Qian Yiai hard.

Qian Yiai has been smart since childhood and has never worried Qian Qianyi at all. In addition, Qian Yiai is rarely known as a child prodigy. Although Qian Qianyi doesn't say it, he loves this son very much.

Qian Qianyi originally thought that his second son could inherit his mantra, but he didn't expect that he would come out to choose an official for a woman, so he gave Qian Yiai.

"You rebellious son, are you going to piss me off? You don't want to have a bright future, but you want to have those loves for children!" Qian Qianyi was scolding his son, and forgot about the fact that he, the man, made the city of Nanjing full of storms in order to marry Liu Rushi.

When Qian Yiai saw her father angry, she quickly knelt down in front of Qian Qianyi and said nothing.

Qian Qianyi had no choice but to see his son like this. He knew this son too well. On the surface, he looked humble and polite, but in fact he had extremely idea in his heart. It was an example of this when he ran to Wuchang to surrender to the prince a few months ago. Qian Qianyi felt a little distressed when he saw his son's face being stamped with five red marks. Qian Yiai had never hit him with a finger.

"Things are really like this? There is no room for relief?" Qian Qianyi still held the room for reversal.

"Father, it's no longer possible. The imperial edict will come later!"

As soon as Qian Yiai finished speaking, the butler outside the door came in and shouted as he walked: "Master! Master! Eunuch Li in the palace is here, and the sender has arrived at the entrance of the alley, saying that the emperor issued an imperial edict to the second young master!"

Seeing that the imperial edict had arrived, Qian Qianyi sighed and arranged the incense table to prepare to welcome the imperial edict.

Just after preparing for Li Chengen's team, Qian Qianyi quickly brought all the men in his family out to welcome the imperial edict.

Seeing Qian Qianyi attaching so much importance, Li Chengen smiled and said, "Old Master Qian, what he came today is not an imperial edict, but an imperial edict. Just prepare an incense table! You don't have to come out to greet them all!"

Only then did Qian Qianyi realize that the butler heard the news wrongly. It turned out that it was not an imperial edict, but an imperial edict.

Qian Qianyi bowed and asked, "I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor gave, but he actually worked for Eunuch Li's great master?"

"Old Master Qian Ge, the emperor is our family's god. There are no trivial matters about the emperor, and our family must handle it with care!" After Li Chengen said that, he took out the emperor's decree and began to read it.

The purpose is very simple, that is, I know that Qian Qianyi's son Qian Yiai is very good at studying and has a high level. Now it is time for the country to hire people. I specially selected Qian Yiai as the magistrate of Shangyuan County and went to the Ministry of Personnel to go to the Ministry of Personnel to complete the procedures tomorrow.

Qian Qianyi sighed when he heard the news. Now things are a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.

After Qian Qianyi sent Li Chengen away, he sat in the room with Qian Yiai, and the father and son stared at each other in a daze.

Qian Qianyi sat for a long time and sighed and said, "Hey! Son, I know that you have been strong since childhood, but now I am different from the past. When you enter the officialdom, you have superiors to clear them and subordinates to maintain them. Don't be clever. Although I am the chief minister of the cabinet, I am too far from you, and it is hard to say a lot. Everything depends on you!"

Qian Qianyi has been an official for half his life. It can be said that he has been displaced throughout his life and has long been used to the intrigues in the officialdom. Today, this matter is no longer restored, so he is ready to teach his son the way to be an official.

"As the saying goes, if you have misfortunes in three lives, the magistrate is attached to Guo; if you have done evil in three lives, you have attached to Guo's provincial capital; if you have committed evil in many ways, you are attached to Guo's capital. Shangyuan County is located in the capital, and most of the government's government offices are in Shangyuan County. In addition, the city is full of evil, so this county magistrate is not easy to be a county magistrate!"

Lao Qian was very good at studying back then and never became a low-level official like a county magistrate. After graduation, he went directly to the Hanlin Academy of the Prime Minister's Preparatory Class. Later, he became a deputy ministerial-level cadre - the Minister of Rites. Therefore, Lao Qian was really not aware of how the county level operated. However, Lao Qian had been an official all his life and had many old officials under his jurisdiction. Qian Qianyi thought of this and quickly asked someone to invite his student Liu Fangyuan.

Liu Fangyuan was a student of Qian Qianyi. He was ranked 276th in the third grade of the Yichou Department in the fifth year of Tianqi, and was completely a crane. However, Liu Fangyuan's teacher was awesome. Liu Fangyuan was the juren who was selected as a juren in the first year of Tianqi. This year, the chief examiner of the Zhejiang provincial examination was Qian Qianyi. When Lao Qian first graduated, he was in a glorious place and was the third in the country. However, as mentioned earlier, Lao Qian's life was a little memorable. When the Hanlin Academy completed his further studies, he was waiting for the election of an official, Lao Qian's mother died. This was a big event in ancient times. As a great scholar of Confucianism, Qian Qianyi had to go home to mourn my mother for twenty-seven months.

When Qian Qianyi was in charge of the system in the first year of Tianqi, the emperor asked him to be the Zhejiang Provincial Government and took the Zhejiang Provincial Examination. However, the tragic old Qian encountered the imperial examination case again. In addition, some eunuchs in the court were in charge at that time, and Qian Qianyi, who was a boss from Donglin, was naturally covered with papers and returned home. Liu Fangyuan was the candidate of this class, so he naturally became Qian Qianyi's student.

Liu Fangyuan originally thought that he had become an awesome teacher, Tanhua and Hanlin Bachelor, who was a reserve prime minister, but he didn't expect that he was unlucky and was really relying on mountains and rivers.

When Liu Fangyuan learned that his teacher was removed from office and returned home, he had to rely on himself for everything. Unexpectedly, Liu Fangyuan was a Jinshi in the third grade of high school in the fifth year of Tianqi, which was considered a clean storm. According to his grades, he would have been a magistrate in that remote county. After decades of officialdom, he would burn the incense. However, Liu Fangyuan's bad luck might have been used up. After he became a magistrate for three years, his unlucky teacher Qian Qianyi was reinstated as the Minister of Rites.

Now Liu Fangyuan was able to see the sun and the moon. Qian Qianyi was also very interested. After learning that he had such a student who was sympathetic, he immediately recommended him to be the magistrate of Changshu and become the prefect two years later.

But good luck was not long. In the first year of Chongzhen, Qian Qianyi was excluded by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru in the cabinet and was dismissed and returned home. Liu Fangyuan's good luck came to an end. At this time, Liu Fangyuan was almost forty years old. Seeing that his career was hopeless, and his backing fell, he also lost the confidence to be an official, and resigned and returned to his hometown in Zhejiang like a teacher.

After Liu Fangyuan returned to his hometown in Hangzhou Prefecture, he planned to be a teacher for his rest of his life, but he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty, which had existed for 270 years, would actually perish. Immediately after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and King Fu Zhu Yousong became emperor in Nanjing. Qian Qianyi became the Minister of Rites this time, and at this time he remembered his student Liu Fangyuan.

Qian Qianyi wrote a letter to Liu Fangyuan to Nanjing to become an official, and first became a doctor in the Ministry of Rites' rituals and Qing officials. However, Liu Fangyuan had not yet sat in the hot water. When the Qing army attacked Nanjing, his good teacher gloriously became a traitor.

Although Liu Fangyuan was Qian Qianyi's student, his students' character was much better than that of the teacher. Seeing that the world was in chaos, Liu Fangyuan abandoned his post and returned to his hometown to become a teacher again.

Although Liu Fangyuan did not become a traitor like his teacher, he did not resist fiercely by the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, but instead became a compassionate person with a calm heart.

In the first year of Shenwu, Zhu Hongsan, Guangdong, raised an army to Hangzhou. Qian Qianyi remembered that his good student Liu Fangyuan was from Hangzhou. It happened that Qian Qianyi had just become a cabinet master and lacked an administrative aide, so he asked Liu Fangyuan to come out to help him again.

As a great intellectual, Qian Qianyi has many disciples who are interested in learning, but there are only one officials who have worked as the magistrate and the magistrate, and the others have all voted for King Gui Zhu Youlang. Now Qian Qianyi saw that his son was about to be the unlucky magistrate of Guo, so he had to invite his big aide Liu Fangyuan.

After a while, Liu Fang came and entered the house to salute Qian Qianyi first.

"Teacher, I wonder what's going on when I ask my disciples to come?"

Qian Qianyi pointed to his son and said, "Wendu, you recognize me, my son. The emperor just now had an imperial edict to ask him to choose an official as a juren!"

This is a big deal. Liu Fangyuan knew the name of Qian Yiai's child prodigy. His teacher Qian Qianyi often boasted that his son would join the cabinet and become a minister in the future. He didn't expect that he would come out to choose an official just by a juren. I don't know what the teacher thought!

"Teacher, isn't Junior Brother Zigao preparing to take the exam in a few years? Wouldn't it be better to wait for a few more years?" Liu Fangyuan thought Qian Qianyi could not wait, so he forced his son to come out and become an official.

"Hey, Wendu, you are not an outsider, listen to me to tell you in detail!" Qian Qianyi then explained the reason why Qian Yiai chose an official.

When Liu Fangyuan heard this, he looked regretful when he heard that Qian Yiai was so sad.

"Teacher, you asked your disciple to come here. How to be a county magistrate for your junior brother?"

"Wendu, the emperor's imperial edict said that my son would be the magistrate of Shangyuan County in Nanjing. You also know that it is really difficult to be the magistrate of Guo. The teacher wants to ask you to help me. Is it good to be my son's assistant?"

Zhu Hongsan implemented a new policy when he was in Guangdong. All the staff in a yamen were paid by the state, whether it was a seventh-rank county magistrate or a rankless yamen runner, but the county magistrate's master had no salary. After all, the master was a private staff member of the county magistrate, so it was not good for the court to pay the salary.

Liu Fangyuan used to be the magistrate, but he was the fourth-rank Huang Tang. He was a local emperor in a mansion. Now he has to lose his identity to become a master for a small seventh-rank magistrate.

Qian Qianyi also knew it was a bit difficult, but he had no administrative ability under his command, and only Liu Fangyuan.

"Wendu, I promise you that you will only take my son out for a year. At that time, I recommend you to be a governor and a master who will have a salary of 2,000 silver dollars this year. Do you think it's okay?"

Lao Qian spent a lot of money on his son. The magistrate only had 130 silver dollars a year. Now he hired a master and gave 2,000 silver dollars. However, it is not high. You must know that Liu Fangyuan was a fourth-rank magistrate!
