Chapter 201
Back to the Sansi, the officials in the Manchu yamen were not interested in doing things, and gathered together in groups to talk about the palace audition today. The common people always love gossip, and the new Jinshi was naturally the center of gossip.
When he saw Xu Ping coming in, he was more familiar with the courage to ask: "Deputy envoy, how can I ask who is the top scholar this year?"
"Zhang Tangqing of Qingzhou, the second place is Yang Cha of Luzhou."
The person who asked thanked Xu Ping, turned around and muttered to his companions, not knowing where they knew about the two people. Xu Ping himself only knew something about Zhang Tangqing from Han Qi, and the other Jinshis were basically ignorant.
But I don’t know what others talk about has nothing to do with these. One of the things they care about most is who they are. Then they compare with the ministers in the court and guess what relatives they have. Then they are age and appearance. It’s a pity for those who are married to say it. They are excited to guess which wealthy family has an unmarried daughter at home, and they are in a mess.
For example, Zhang Tangqing is from Qingzhou, and some people guessed that Wang Zeng, the prime minister who is also from Qingzhou, was impossible to have a relationship. If it doesn’t matter, they should make up some relationship.
First, he went to the Yantioxin Department to see that nothing happened. Xu Ping went to the Regulation Editing Office and called Wang Gongchen to his official hall.
Seeing that Wang Gongchen had changed into casual clothes and was about to go out for fun, Xu Ping said: "Looking at your appearance, could someone invite you to visit today? It's still early now, so don't need to be so anxious, right?"
Wang Gongchen said a little embarrassedly: "Today, everyone is unwilling to do things if they are new Jinshi."
Xu Ping smiled and asked him: "Which family is there to invite you? Could it be that someone from the family of officials in the court who passed the Jinshi?"
"Yes, the deputy envoy got it right!" Wang Gongchen saw that Xu Ping looked for him as if he had something to talk about, so he sat down. "Cai Junmo's brother Cai was a Jinshi in high school, and his clan brother Cai Zhun was also on the same list. Please invite us to have a drink!"
When Tiansheng was taking the exam in the eighth year, Empress Dowager Liu just stipulated that brothers were not allowed to be in the same exam. Perhaps because she learned the lessons of the Song Qi and Song Xiang brothers in the second year of Tiansheng. Cai Xiang's brother Cai Gao gave him the opportunity, and he was only admitted to the Jinshi this year. Cai Zhunze was Cai Xiang's clan brother. The Cai family was a great clan of Xianyou and had many Jinshis.
Although Xu Ping often asked Cai Xiang to write, the two were not familiar with each other and had fair deals. He didn't know about these things. He had never heard of the names of Cai Gao and Cai Zhun. His historical knowledge was not enough to know. Cai Zhun later gave birth to two sons, Cai Bian and Cai Jing, and especially Cai Jing, was a terrifying person for thousands of years.
Wang Gongchen sat down and asked Xu Ping: "The deputy envoy is looking for me, what's the matter to be discussed?"
Xu Ping nodded: "No, serious matter. I wrote a note to set up a farm and field affairs in Kaifeng Prefecture the day before yesterday. Do you know?"
"I know, I've read that letter carefully."
"It's good to see it. The emperor wants to call me to ask about the matter of the field affairs of the camp. I want to recommend you as the first recruiting officer."
"Ah--" Wang Gongchen didn't expect that this was the case. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Xu Ping.
Xu Ping said: "Why, don't want to? Thinking of being the governor of the local government? Then you have to wait for a year."
"No, no, deputy envoy, don't misunderstand me, I just didn't expect it." Wang Gongchen waved his hand quickly, "I think I am young and have not even served as a full-time judge in the local area. Is it just a promotion to the field affairs?"
Xu Ping looked at Wang Gongchen's disconfidence and couldn't help but smile: "Are you young? When I was the same age as you, I was a magistrate of Yongzhou and had been in charge of sugar sugar for several years. You are the top scholar, and you are afraid of being a culprit officer."
Wang Gongchen became the top scorer when he was 19 years old, only one year older than Xu Ping's Jinshi. Everyone in the officialdom regarded him as a baby, and he himself was used to the young and ignorant setting. However, he had not calculated carefully. It was the fourth year that he had embarked on the career of the government. Some of the top scorers and magistrates had been in such a long time, but he had not finished a single magistrate. Then he stayed in the hall, occasionally working in some yamen in the court for a short time to make a transition for other people's positions.
Although the official position was not lowered and he had been promoted normally, there were really few opportunities for actual training. If this continues, there would be only one way, purely following the path of Cichen, to advance to bachelor's degree, to master the imperial edict, and then to Hanlin bachelor's degree. Without practical experience, some important positions would definitely not be handed over to him at once. I would be afraid that I would still have to serve as a magistrate and a magistrate to make up for this lesson. Xu Ping also saw this and tried to give him the actual position of training people, so he would not have to leave Beijing and take care of his family.
After hearing Xu Ping's words, Wang Gongchen laughed and said, "How can I compete with the deputy envoy? You also know that I was a bit tricky when I was the top scorer back then. I happened to have been done for a short time in the palace examination."
Xu Ping waved his hand: "Okay, don't say this, just say whether you have the confidence to be the chief executive."
In the eighth year of Tiansheng, Wang Gongchen happened to have done that question before the palace examination, so he naturally did it with great skill. This is the benefit of targeted simulation before the exam. However, Wang Gongchen was honest and young. The palace told him about this and refused the top scorer. The imperial examination was not purely literary talent, and the morality of integrity was obviously more important than literary talent. He was the top scorer, and the emperor was still impressed by him.
Seeing that Xu Ping had made up his mind, Wang Gongchen thought carefully before saying, "I have been in the editorial office for some time. I have been with the deputy envoy every day. I know that the prosecutor is not a high-ranking official but a deputy envoy who needs to do it with heart, and it is not comparable to other official positions. Since the deputy envoy looks down on me, I will do it with heart. But there is a saying that I must first say, and I will do it with heart. I can't do some difficult things, so I still have to ask the deputy envoy to make an idea."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't just push things to you and ignore them. I have a Zhuangzi in Zhongmu, and you know that it's not that I'm boasting that there are few families in the world who can compare to the Zhuangzi."
"Of course I know that it's a good place, with food and drink, and it's better if I have that place!"
"When you become an executive officer, you can buy some idle fields in the surrounding counties and build your own farm. At that time, you are proficient in all kinds of things and will definitely be better than others. But today I won't talk about this, that's it. According to the experience of managing that farm for so many years, I will write a booklet. How to manage the farm and all kinds of miscellaneous tasks must be written clearly for the officials of the camp and field affairs to learn from. I will try to write it in detail. After writing it out, you will spend about a month to take the booklet to my village and find out all the ways before you can take the job at the camp and field affairs."
The booklet Xu Ping wanted to write is not only about the management details of the farm, but more importantly, it is to write clearly how the farm's wealth is produced, from grain to side businesses, to animal husbandry and some handicrafts. Only by allowing wealth to be produced and can it be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people bit by bit through the concept of commercial proliferation, can Xu Ping change the conservative economic policies and change it to a positive economic policy. Once production develops in the direction of expanding reproduction, it will become an irresistible torrent.
Wang Gongchen didn't know what Xu Ping was thinking. He sat there and thought about the booklets that he taught and the internship of a farm with a very well-managed farm. It would definitely not be too difficult for him to be a prosecutor, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
After a while, Wang Gongchen remembered something and looked up and asked Xu Ping: "However, Deputy Envoy, you just recommended me to go to the field affairs department. Will this recruiter definitely fall on me?"
Xu Ping said angrily: "Just just wait with peace of mind."
Zhao Zhen summoned him for these details, how could Xu Ping not even decide to be promoted? If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor Zhao Zhen will fully respect his opinion. Not to mention that Wang Gongchen's official position has long exceeded his post requirements, even if he is a little lower, he can take office.
Even the Zhongshu would not make things difficult for Xu Ping in such matters.
