A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the clear and cool light covers the world. The blurred colors make people feel that this world is a bit illusory. The stars dot the sky, giving people the illusion of crowding.

Xu Ping sat in the corridor and looked at the night sky, slightly stunning.

For ordinary people, the stars you can see at night in this era are much more than your previous life, and even the Milky Way is clearly visible. However, for those people in Si Tianjian, the stars you observe are far from being compared with those in the previous life. After all, human eyes have limits, and the vast world outside of sight can only be imagined.

The glass yard in the north of the city has started to produce products, but it is still unstable. After the craftsmen in Yongzhou arrived, the progress has accelerated a lot. After waiting for about ten days, the public officials transferred from the sugar sugar business also arrived, and the new yard business can get on the right track.

When he saw Jia Xian, Xu Ping suddenly had the idea of ​​making a pair of telescopes. In the past, although he had glass in Yongzhou, he had no skillful craftsmen and could not grind out the lenses, and Xu Ping had no choice. Now that he has returned to the capital, he has all kinds of skillful craftsmen. It is no problem to grind the lenses in the Hanlin Academy. No matter how complicated they are, they can make them.

With the telescope, the officials of the Sitianjian saw the vast sky and didn't know what they thought. But what is certain is that with more accurate observations, the calendar should be more accurate. They will no longer change it at any time because the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse are incompatible with the calendar, which makes those officials in a hurry.

Not far away, several young people who were on the night in the museum gathered together and talked enthusiastically about the newly printed series of books by the Imperial College. They were the main authors of those series, and they were enthusiastic.

There are people taking turns at the library every night, but Xu Ping is no longer keeping the library like Xu Ping used to be. The main task is to prepare consultants, and the emperor is ready to ask questions at any time, and he is looking at the lower level of the library who is on duty on the night.

This is a change in identity, and above the system and the common officials are completely different from those in the same class.

It is strange that most of the officials gathered around Fan Zhongyan were Jinshi in the second year of Tiansheng and the eighth year of Tiansheng, while those who were sandwiched between Tiansheng rarely participated. In terms of system, except for the first-class people, the rest of the Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng at this time, except for the first-class people, all served in the local area and had few conflicts with Lu Yijian. However, in the eighth year of Tiansheng, many of them had already entered the capital to serve as officials and met with each other. However, in the roots, there were still some ideological factors.

At this time, in the fifth year of Tiansheng in Beijing, in addition to Xu Ping, there were also Wang Yaochen and Han Qi, Ji Ying, who followed Wang Zeng to the capital, and Wang Su and Fan Zhongyan who entered the museum. Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan were barely considered one party, but the relationship between them was not very close, and Han Qi himself did not participate in this incident. Wang Su and Fan Zhongyan were relatives, and his uncles Wang Zhi and Fan Zhongyan were relatives. It was normal to move around every day, but at this time, there was no politically clear stand on that side.

This phenomenon is very strange. Every class of Jinshi has different ideas.

At this moment, an eunuch brought two small yellow gates into Chongwen Courtyard, went straight to Xu Ping, and said, "Monk, the official family is in Tianzhang Pavilion, and you will be invited to join us."

Xu Ping stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Master,"

Tonight is the first time that Xu Ping has been on duty when he is on duty. To be honest, it is abnormal that Emperor Zhao Zhen does not recruit him. When he was a commoner, he could not meet the emperor every time, and there was basically no chance for two people to talk alone, because he did not have the responsibility and was considered to have no ability. Even if he was on duty at night, he would supplement other scholars and he could not express his opinions alone. Now as attendants, the two can talk privately. This is the best place for officials above the system to talk to other officials. Opinions can directly affect the emperor's decision-making.

If we use Xu Ping's political identity in his previous life as an analogy, the Central Committee member is a member of the system above, and the real bachelor degree above is considered a member, and the Prime Minister is a member. Only officials above the system above are considered to have entered the decision-making circle.

The person who came here was the real chief of the Pavilion. He brought the errand eunuch to the Tianzhang Pavilion, and this is how the intermediate eunuch called the chief of the Pavilion. However, Xu Ping was not familiar with him and had nothing to say along the way, just following him.

Tianzhang Pavilion collects imperial pens from Emperor Zhenzong during his lifetime, and of course there are books, which are monumental buildings. When the emperor Zhao Zhen was fine, he liked to read here, and sometimes he also invited close ministers here.

The pavilion was brightly lit, and there were not many eunuchs waiting to be ordered next to him, and they seemed a little empty.

After Xu Ping saw the etiquette, Zhao Zhen ordered to give him a seat.

After the eunuch served tea, Zhao Zhen asked casually: "I heard that the newly recruited officials of the three corporations who have been taught by the editorial institute in the Regulations have been completed in the past few days, and they have all been assigned to the subordinate yamen?"

Xu Ping bowed and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, you have already divided it."

Zhao Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "We talk privately, you don't have to be restrained, we are not outsiders."

Xu Ping thanked him for his gratitude, and his expression was a little embarrassed. This was difficult to control. It made the emperor feel unacceptable and too restrictive, and it made him feel alienated. This kind of response is really not something Xu Ping is good at.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen knew Xu Ping's temperament and did not force it. He asked: "In the afternoon, when talking about political affairs, Mr. Lu talked about the affairs of the three officials, saying that you were too arbitrary and did not allow others to intervene. Mr. Lu's meaning is that you may lose your word like this."

"This is indeed the case. The public officials in the three departments colluded with fraud, which implicated many powerful ministers in the court. However, one was not accused of evidence, and the other involved too much, and it was left unresolved. For this matter, Zheng Jian, who was sentenced to the Yan Tie Gouyuan, had a lot of temper with me, and it was not enough to be investigated. This time, I was afraid of repeating the same mistakes in the public officials, so I used the military case to directly divide it according to the performance of each public official when he was studying, and did not let others intervene. As for the talk of people, in fact, as long as I do this, I will be told no matter how I deal with it. After all, there are many children of officials in the public official."

In fact, the most important reason is that Xu Ping was afraid that the officials of each department would win over each other during training, and brought those who had something to do with him and listen to him into his yamen to cultivate the foundation. Especially Lu Gongchuo, who opened the department, almost did not hide this, so Xu Ping simply assigned the military case and deliberately dispersed those close to him. Chen Zhengping was even sent to the field office outside the city.

Zhao Zhen naturally didn't know these details, and it was impossible for him to know that some things could be said and some things could not be said. The officials knew that they would be confused about them, otherwise they would cause endless troubles. If Zhao Zhen knew that the following officials were so blatantly forming cliques, there would inevitably be storms. Xu Ping had no evidence in his hands, and he would be embarrassed by that time.

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Zhao Zhen said: "I know what you say. Just do this, don't worry about what others say. Kou is old, so you should take care of the affairs of the Sansi. You should be brave enough to do things and don't have any worries!"

Xu Ping really didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, so he had to say, "I must put my heart into it!"

"I feel at ease when I handed over the three departments to your hands. Since expelling fraudulent public officials last month, the capital's business income has increased by more than 300,000 yuan this month. 300,000 yuan a month, nearly 4 million yuan a year. How much does the imperial court earn every year? It's shocking!"

Zhao Zhen did not say this in the court, nor did he question the ministers, but it did not mean that he didn't care. At this time, he was still angry and his voice became louder.

In fact, if you really need to take strict measures, you can add more than 500,000 yuan per month. However, things will turn back, and Xu Ping deliberately relaxed a little, so as not to make the people below dissatisfied, give them the opportunity to fill the previous deficit, and leave room for the subsequent rise.

Of course, if you have so much money in a year, you are not always corrupted by officials, but more of it is wasted. Every time you embezzle a man, you will lose ten coins. How many officials in the capital will reach out to it, and millions of coins a year will disappear like playing.

Xu Ping could not say these things, so he had to remain silent.

Zhao Zhen said: "From the future, be careful about the business operations in the capital. There are those newly opened business operations. This must not happen again. If the Sansi charges one more point, they will charge one less point from the people. If they collect less points, they will save the lives of many people. This is not a trivial matter, you must be careful!"

"I accept the order. However, in Beijing, the government office is still under the watch of the Treasury Department. The key is to see them."

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "The Treasury Department supervised the business of the Beijing office, but they knew nothing about such a big mess. Usually, they just reported some trivial matters. How do they understand the affairs of the business? The three offices are more in charge!"

At this time, Zheng Xiang was the one who was referring to the treasury in Beijing. Xu Ping's deepest impression of him was that he had a nephew Zhou Dunyi. He wrote "Love Love" at a young age. Xu Ping had memorized it in his previous life. Zhou Dunyi's father died at the age of eight. Since then, he has lived with Zheng Xiang and is also in the capital at this time.

Another thing surprised Xu Ping. It turned out that Zhou Dunyi's mother had remarried. The two brothers were half-brothers. Their surnames were different, and they were raised by Zheng Xiang together. It was not uncommon for widows to remarry in this year. Like Fan Zhongyan, he would also give the widows who remarried in the family, and would not discriminate. Xu Ping was surprised that Zhou Dunyi was the teacher of the second Cheng, and the sentence "Starting death is extremely unfaithful and unfaithful" that had a great influence on later generations was said by Cheng Yi in the second Cheng. Where did his mentor's face beside him? I don't know what was going on.

Because Zhou Dunyi was too famous in later generations, Xu Ping was always polite to Zheng Xiang. For these celebrities, Xu Ping could not offend them as much as possible. If a scholar was not careful, he would become a villain. Why bother causing trouble?

Zhao Zhen's words meant that the three officials seized the power of the Treasury Department. Xu Ping was not easy to play, so he just agreed. Originally, the Treasury Department was divided into three officials, but now it is the other way around. Who knows when it will be repeated again?

The matter is to prevent things and to make mistakes, which is the ancestor of the Zhao family's family law. The institutions are stacked and built in order to facilitate the allocation of official responsibilities at any time. Xu Ping is a minister after all, so there is no need to come up to cater to this system by himself.
