Chapter 42
Looking at the setting sun in the west, Du Zhongxiao rode on his horse and felt his mind buzzing. After walking this trip, he felt that there were loopholes everywhere in each village and nothing was done to suit his wishes. Every time he looked at him, Du Zhongxiao could find many hidden dangers and lower his expectations again and again.
I thought that with the experience of Yongcheng Yingtian, I would be able to do it easily. As a result, after the past few dozen days, I felt that everything was not going well, and all of them were something I had never encountered before.
Yongcheng recruits old farmers, so Du Zhongxiao doesn’t worry about farming at all. Just check for omissions and fill in the gaps. There is a large population there, everything is calm, expanding little by little, and starting calmly. At this point, everything has to be started from scratch. Even the people who plow and reclaim land are not many who can do it. Plowing is a technical job, which looks easy, but in fact there is no one to guide you, and you can’t get started without practicing for a few days.
As for other chores of farming, we need to start from scratch. These slim soldiers are far less familiar with farming than Du Zhongxiao. Most people don’t know when to plant or how to cultivate, and there is no way to talk about later management.
Thinking of these, Du Zhongxiao felt that he was overwhelmed. He invited experienced old farmers from nearby to teach him. The problem is that Tangzhou is sparsely populated, so how many old farmers can be hired? Farmers also care about their own farm work, so they can only rely on the help of the yamen, and half of them hire people.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and Du Zhongxiao has now deeply understood the meaning of this sentence. Since he arrived in Tangzhou, nothing has gone smoothly. He was a strict person and meticulous in his work. After these days, he has become accustomed to turning a blind eye. He knows that his subordinates have many problems in their work, so he can only pretend not to see it. Otherwise, nothing can be done.
At this time, Du Zhongxiao felt that he was too reckless to take on this errand. He could do the errands, but it could not be so urgent, so time should be calm. He could have delayed some days. After this season, it was just that the Transportation Department would pay more money and food for several months. He was determined to make achievements faster, but he rushed too quickly, which made him very embarrassed now.
When he returned to the yamen, he discussed some miscellaneous matters with Zhuzhu Cui. Du Zhongxiao felt exhausted physically and mentally. Just as he was about to go back to rest, Zhuzhu Cui suddenly said: "Yun Judgment, a new manager in our yamen will arrive in two days."
Du Zhongxiao glanced at the official document in Zhubu Cui's hand and said casually: "Who is here? What day is it here?"
Director Cui said: "It was Su Song, who was originally from Yongcheng County. Because there was a land management there, he was sent to help the transportation and the verdict, and he was limited to three months before."
When Du Zhongxiao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Take it to me! I am familiar with this person, he is a person who can do things."
After taking the official document in his hand, Du Zhongxiao read it, he realized that Su Song was the magistrate of Yongcheng and was promoted to Dali to serve as the supervisor of the field affairs office. This was not his own request, but perhaps Su Song had a lack of ejaculation.
In the past, the land camp was mostly established by the deputy transport commissioner and the commander of the land camp, the prefect, the magistrate, the magistrate, and the magistrate were responsible for it, and there were very few special yamen. This time, there were too many yamen out of the laundering corps army, and the scale was unclear. At first, Du Zhongxiao came and only had one chief clerk. Later, he found that he was too busy to do it. Du Zhongxiao asked to set up another supervisor in charge of the business, and the order of the magistrate was equivalent to that of the magistrate, and the magistrate.
For Su Song, instead of changing to another place to be a magistrate, it would be better to be under Du Zhongxiao. The two of them were familiar with each other in the same year and were relatively calm in official business. Moreover, the affairs of the government offices such as the field affairs were relatively single, not as complicated as the local affairs. Moreover, he was skilled in clever thinking. In recent years, he had new ideas on some of the venues set up by Du Zhongxiao in Yongcheng County, and wanted to communicate with Du Zhongxiao.
At this time, the two had a very different position. Du Zhongxiao was already an intermediate official, with a higher status than him in the world, including only one or two thousand civil and military officials. Su Song was still the grassroots small official, and his career was just beginning.
However, the two were not much different in terms of qualifications. Du Zhongxiao only had one more rank and took one or two steps faster.
Officials, positions, and assignments are three systems. Officials are status, representing salary and treatment. Positions are futures and there are some preferential treatments. Departures are practical duties, specific jobs. Officials reward merits, and high officials represent you who do more things, make more contributions, and have a good salary and a high status. Positions represent the future of officials. Which lane do you are in the officialdom? Leading a library position means that you are in the fast lane in the officialdom. It is faster than ordinary officials and is easier to get better assignments. Of course, the library position is divided into several small systems, and there are also highways in the fast lane. For example, some library positions need to be trial-produced imperial edicts, which is the alternative for the Cichen. Du Zhongxiao cannot reach that highway.
The dispatch is different from the official position and has its own promotion system. Because of the investigation system, a fixed order of qualifications has been formed, and officials must be promoted in sequence. If a Jinshi with average rankings does not have a great opportunity, he can only be promoted to a Beijing official after three or ten years. Two magistrates are promoted to a magistrate, and two magistrates are promoted to a magistrate, and two magistrates are promoted to a magistrate, and two magistrates are promoted to a magistrate, and two magistrates are promoted to a magistrate. At this point, life has been more than half. If you waste a little time and only get promoted to a magistrate at the age of sixty or seventy, then most of your life will be like this. Only after you are promoted to a magistrate can you enter the center, and the magistrate is not so important.
There is an exception in the dispatch system, which is the magistrate. Once you become a censor, you can be promoted without following this fixed order of promotion, but you can quickly enter the center from the path of the censor, the imperial edict and Hanlin scholar. Some people along this path have not even been local people-friendly officials like magistrates, counties, and have reached a prominent position in several years, such as Qian Mingyi. It was only a few years ago that there must be a civil-friendly official.
Therefore, if the emperor likes someone and wants to be promoted quickly, he usually puts him in the Censorate first and then knows the imperial edict. The official position of the imperial edict is not high, but once he gets promoted, he breaks the conventional restrictions and can become a prime minister within several years.
Du Zhongxiao knew that he could not be an official of the sages. Even though he knew the highway, he did not have good driving skills to get on, he had to work hard to become a local official. In recent years, he had made great contributions and was appreciated by important officials in the court. However, he had to release it as a fortune judge and even put the word "power", which was not enough.
Before coming to Tangzhou, the emperor and the prime minister both wanted Du Zhongxiao to be civil and military. Du Zhongxiao was also moved because it was also a way to bypass the order of the capital. In addition to the military commander who was very responsible, the order of the capital in the army was not so important, and it was much faster to be promoted if you were meritorious.
After all, after making contributions, the court rewards the official position, not the dispatch. If the official is promoted quickly, he can only climb up step by step.
Just like now, Du Zhongxiao's official rank is more than ten ranks higher than Su Song, but only less than two more ranks. Su Song is the name of power, and Du Zhongxiao is the name of power, as well as Du Zhongxiao's magistrate, and the two are just superiors and subordinates.
After putting down the official documents, Du Zhongxiao said to Zhubu Cui: "This Su Song is the same year as me, and he is very disciplined in his work. If he comes, we will be much more relaxed. Now the yamen is invented and everything is complicated, and we really lack officials to do things."
The chief clerk is a small and medium-sized official in the yamen, with a status equivalent to a county magistrate or a record officer or a military officer or a selection of people. It is far from Du Zhongxiao, and is much lower than Su Song's official business management. He is a specific person in charge of business. Nowadays, there are only Du Zhongxiao, a chief clerk, and Cui Zhuan is a small grassroots official, and there are shortages of middle-level officials. If the proposed abolition of the boatman comes one after another, more officials will have to be added. Otherwise, he will have to borrow people from the local area.
The magistrate and magistrate among local officials, because of the foreign officials of the imperial court, were often appointed to other prefectures and counties on the road to do temporary work. However, some time ago, when Zhang Fangping was on Shaanxi Road, he found that many magistrates were sent to other places and did not return to the county for a long time to take matters. Recently, the court had conducted strict investigations, and Du Zhongxiao could not even borrow people in the name of the Transportation Department.
