He Heng dreamed of becoming an official, but hesitated when he heard that it was a lack of the cabinet.

Although the Qing Dynasty inherited the draft of the previous Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was a "clean water yamen" that was fake. Especially after the establishment of the Military Affairs Office in the Yongzheng Dynasty, the cabinet only handled routine affairs, and all confidential affairs were handled by the Military Affairs Office. It is said that the Grand Secretary and the Co-organizers did not go to the cabinet much.

The cabinet secretary sounds nice, but in fact it is just a copywriter. He wants no oil or water, and has no future!

Ji Yunfei knew that he was unwilling to accept it and didn't want to force others to do so. He sat down and smiled and said, "Junjie, I just came over and asked, it's nothing if I don't want to take the exam."

Han Xiufeng felt this was an opportunity and couldn't help but remind him: "Junjie, now it is not as large as in the early years. The number of juren in various provinces is large, and it doesn't mean whether they can be promoted in the year. Even if they can be promoted, they can only be registered as a county magistrate or a teaching position, and then wait for the vacancy. Director Zhang said that many juren will have to wait for more than ten or even twenty or thirty years before they can make up for the vacancy."

Although Ji Yunfei thought so, he still looked up and said, "Zhixing, what are you saying? Junjie will take the exam next year."

He Heng is not a rude person. How could he not know their good intentions? He hesitated for a while and said with a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Ji, the candidates are divided into second-class, first-class candidates are waiting for the magistrate, and second-class candidates are selected as teaching positions. In addition to the magistrate, first-class candidates have many ways to obtain the magistrate, the experience of the magistrate, the experience of the magistrate, the magistrate of the county, the magistrate of the Yanku ambassador, the river engineer, etc.."

Ji Yunfei didn't expect that he would have this idea and asked in surprise: "Be a sergeant at the second position?"

"I mean it's a last resort..."

"Then it's better to take the exam for the Secretariat of the Cabinet!"

"But……"

"But what, are you worried about no future?" Ji Yunfei put down the tea bowl and looked at him with a smile and explained: "The cabinet secretary is not as unbearable as you think. It is more promising than being the assistant minister of the cabinet secretary. Where is the cabinet? Although it does not have the weight of the Military Affairs Office, it is also the center. If you can enter the central hall, your future is limitless. If you can enter the emperor's eyes, there is no need for a tutor, and it is not impossible to give the imperial examination with the new tribute teacher!"

"Is there still a chance to take the palace examination after being admitted to the cabinet secretary?"

"What am I lying to you?"

Ji Yunfei suddenly realized and thought about it and asked again: "Master Ji, how many ministers are there in the cabinet?"

"The 124 people in the Central Secretariat, including seventy Manchus, sixteen Mongolians, eight Han soldiers, and thirty Han officials. The 46 people in the Central Secretariat, including forty Manchus and six Mongolians, were divided into the writing, recording, translation, and copying of books. In addition, there were six people in the Central Secretariat, including two Manchus and four Han officials, were divided into the instructions and imperial edicts."

"There are more than 170 Secretaries in the Cabinet!"

"Jun Jie, there are many ministers in the cabinet, but most of them are bannermen, and most of them are translators. Even if they want to become a Jinshi in the future, they will be translators." How could Ji Yunfei not know what he was worried about? He smiled and said, "And they work in the cabinet, not only have official salary, integrity and financial silver. The governors and vassal departments of each province each pay 100 taels of silver every year, Shanhaiguan receives three taels of silver every year, and the Ministry of Revenue and Supervision each have 25 departments to allocate more than 10,000 taels of silver every year. The Grand Secretary and Bachelor are awarded together, and the remaining officials are reduced by number, and they will also be irrigated as the soap servant papermakers!"

"Master Ji, isn't it a hard job to say that the cabinet secretary?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.

"I have to write every day, and record so many official documents, how can I not be miserable? I just don't have to worry about being poor."

"Jun Jie, Mr. Ji has said this, what else do you have to hesitate about?"

"I...I didn't know these at first. Master Ji, I don't thank you for your kindness. Tell me, how can I go to the Ministry of Personnel for the exam?"

"Jun Jie, this is a big deal, you have to think about it first!"

"I thought about it, it's better to do an errand first than to sit down and eat the whole country."

"Since you have made up your mind, I will help you with activities, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

...

This matter should be very urgent. Ji Yunfei confirmed that He Heng was willing to take the exam and left in a hurry, without mentioning the money. He Heng couldn't sleep after having a midnight snack, so he ran to Han Xiufeng's room and asked if he would give some money as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Master Ji didn't mention it. The future is long, and I'll talk about it after the expenses are done."

"That's all."

Han Xiufeng looked at his worrying appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Junjie, I said at Master Ji's house the night before yesterday that it won't take long. Our Chongqing Prefecture is in the capital, and we have more than four current officials, including Master Ji and others. I didn't expect you to be a Beijing official soon."

"The eight characters are not yet drawn."

"I know what kind of person Mr. Ji is. He will never speak up if he is not sure."

"That's true." He Heng thought for a while and sighed sincerely: "It's different to have fellow villagers and not fellow villagers. If it weren't for Mr. Ji's support, I, He Junjie, wouldn't have been today."

Han Xiufeng hugged his legs and pondered: "Junjie, the reason why Mr. Ji helped so much is not only because he is a fellow villager, but also because of his personality. If he really looks at fellow villager, there are more fellow villager in the yard, why don't he help Yang Juren and the others to go to the event?"

"I'm embarrassed to say that. In terms of personality, He Junjie, I, in front of you, can't be ranked."

"Why are you pulling me back?"

The two were posing in the dragon gate formation, and a noise came from outside.

When I came out, I found that a coachman had sent Qian Junchen back, who was drunk, and He Heng's cousin was helping him walk in.

It’s nothing if I didn’t see you, I have to say hello.

Han Xiufeng and He Heng followed in and asked while helping him make tea: "Brother Qian, why are you drinking too high again?"

"I'm happy today." Qian Junchen shook off his boots and raised his head and smiled: "Zhixing, Junjie, I can't walk in the Ministry of Rites for a few days, and I can't live in this yard for a few days. Once I leave, you will move in. The water will not flow to outsiders' fields. Don't live in such a good house for outsiders, hahaha."

He Heng helped him and asked curiously: "Brother Qian, you have another commission. I'm going to go out of Beijing to work for the office this time?"

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but ask: "The examiner of the provincial examination?"

"No." Qian Junchen shook his head.

"The main examination of the provincial examination!"

"Not that." Qian Junchen grinned and said proudly: "It's enough for the examiner to do it once. It's always boring. This time it's not a messenger, but a release. The feng shui takes turns, and finally Qian Junchen takes the turn to release it!"

"Where are you going, what's missing?" He Heng asked subconsciously.

"When I was in Hubei Provincial Administration, I helped me find out how to make this Hengyuan shopkeeper, and I also paid me a total of 4,000 taels of white money." Thinking of not only taking the Hengyuan Money House's staff to take office, but also asking the Hengyuan Money House's staff to be the chief follower, Qian Junchen took Han Xiufeng's arm and said, "Zhixing, if you weren't waiting for the filling of the gap, I really wanted to take you to Wuchang to take office. It would be great to go to Wuchang. It's close to home. You can go home whenever you want, don't you think?"

...

ps: I can’t stand it when I stay up late and write, and I always have a migraine.
