Luoyang in April is the best season of the year. Today is bright and the weather is clear and the wind is smooth. This makes Li Ling feel the same as the weather, which is quite good. Until he entered the Ministry of Revenue and saw the familiar person while waiting to meet the officials of the department.

Dai Wanchun, who was chatting and laughing with others, was not surprised when he saw Li Ling coming in. He smiled meaningfully, "Isn't this our Li Tanhua? Why did you come to the Ministry of Revenue to observe the politics of the Ministry of Revenue in a condescending manner?"

Li Ling was slightly stunned and did not think that he would meet the other person here. Because he remembered clearly that although Dai Wanchun failed to enter the top three in the first class in this palace examination, he was also ranked among the top, ranked tenth in the second class, enough to enter the Hanlin Academy or become an official in the Censorate. There is really no need to be a member of this "turbid current" like himself.

But then he threw this doubt aside, smiled and fisted and said, "I have always admired the important tasks of the Ministry of Revenue. Since I have a choice, I will of course want to study hard in this important financial and taxation area in the world. But Brother Dai, why did you choose to come here to observe politics?"

"I am the uncle. But I still admire Brother Li for coming here as the Lord of Tanhua. Thinking about half a month ago, you three entered the palace, so I really envied me." Although Dai Wanchun was quite praising and praising Li Ling, his tone had a bit of different meaning, which always made people feel a little harsh.

Looking at the new Jinshi around who also came to the Ministry of Revenue to observe politics, their expressions were somewhat strange. When they saw Li Ling coming, no one greeted him. Instead, they subconsciously gave in to him, and wanted to keep a distance from him.

Although these actions were subtle, they did not escape Li Ling's eyes, which made him feel more suspicious, and his eyes turned on Dai Wanchun again: "Brother Dai praised me. In addition to luck, I was able to win the Tanhua this time, but also because of your courage, so I cannot relax and work hard to repay Your Majesty!"

This made Dai Wanchun feel sarcastic. After all, no one in the world dared to question the emperor's decision, so he could only hum: "I hope Brother Li, you can really do what you say. But I want to remind you that this Ministry of Revenue is very complicated but extremely important. It can't be done casually. If something goes wrong then, let alone Tanhua, even the top scholar will not be able to escape the blame you should bear!"

"There is no need for Brother Dai to worry about this. Since I dared to come here to observe politics, I naturally had prepared for it." Li Ling looked at him without any permission. The two of them had a deep conversation with each other, but they were stunned by the other servants who were serving him in the same year.

Fortunately, a green robe official walked into the hall soon, which made the atmosphere here slightly loose. His eyes only swept across the face of everyone and said, "Are you all the new Jinshi who came to my Ministry of Revenue to observe politics?"

"That's right, sir."

He nodded, walked to the top and sat down, and then revealed his identity: "I am the official of the Qing official of the headquarters. His surname is Lu, his name is You, and his name is Renjia."

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to be arrogant. They all stood up and saluted respectfully: "I have met Lord Lu..."

Yuanwailang's official position in the court was actually not high, only a fifth rank. In Luoyang, where the ministers were walking all over the ground, he was completely like a small person. At the court meeting, he couldn't even enter the main hall. However, in terms of real power, he was an extraordinary figure on the acre of three-point land of the Ministry of Revenue.

According to the grade, the entire Minister of Revenue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If it is further divided into the department, the Minister of Revenue is the second-in-command, and he only needs to be responsible to the doctor. He is also in charge of more than 20, sixth-rank officials, and more officials. Of course, there is more than one Yuanwailang in the Qing official department. The specific power depends on his relationship with his superiors.

But even if the Yuanwailang who has no real power is not comparable to the new Jinshi who have just entered the officialdom, especially this Lord Lu has a momentum of not being angry but powerful, which makes everyone feel awe and dare not underestimate it.

Seeing that they were so sensible, Lu You finally showed a slightly satisfied smile: "Please sit down and talk. You are all pillars of my future Dayue. If you can think about coming to my Ministry of Revenue to observe politics, it means that you are indeed willing to do something practical for the court and the people, which is much better than other people who seek fame and reputation."

After praising them a few words, he changed the subject again: "However, my Ministry of Revenue has a great responsibility, which is related to the important financial and tax affairs in all parts of the world. There should be no gap. So when you enter my Ministry of Revenue, you must mention one million and two million cautions and not be negligent. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, the consequences will be extremely serious. Even if you lose your official position and dismiss the position may not be able to compensate you for your crime. So now the Japanese official will put the words in his head first, hoping that you can always be vigilant. Do you understand?"

As soon as these words were said, the seven or eight new Jinshi were shocked, and everyone's face became more and more serious. The only exception was Li Ling, and the smile on his face was still the same, just bowing his hands to say yes.

"Li Tanhua, right?" Lu You suddenly turned his head and looked at him, "Why, do you think what I said is too exaggerated, so don't you agree?"

"I dare not, I'm just a humble position..." Li Ling was just about to explain a few words, but was interrupted by the other party: "I don't know you dare either! Also, don't think that you can enjoy any privileges for Tanhua during the palace examination in my Ministry of Revenue! I can explain the words to you here. No matter what honors you have had before and who have valued them, as long as I enter the Ministry of Revenue and the Qingguan Department, I will treat you equally! If you make any mistakes, I will punish you severely, and you are Tanhua, so you will only give you more stringent requirements. Do you understand?"

Faced with this harsh reprimand, the young scholars were already scared and felt guilty when they were replaced by ordinary young scholars. Even those Jinshi who were not deliberately targeted all looked solemn, but Li Ling looked directly at Lu You. Although his smile disappeared, there was no trace of fear in his eyes: "My lord has taught me a lesson, I have recorded my humble position. But I also hope that lord can do what he says and treat everyone equally!"

"Um..." Lu You didn't expect that his words could not completely suppress the young man in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment. Then he wanted to scold him, but when he spoke, he didn't know how to say it. After all, people did not make any mistakes, so he could only snorted: "How I do things is not your fault! Remember your identity, now you are no longer the Jinshi masters who are admired, but I am a seventh-rank official of the Ministry of Revenue. Observing politics and studying hard are the only things you should do now!" As he said that, he clapped his hands gently.

At this moment, seven or eight green robe officials walked to the front of the hall and entered it after getting their approval. He glanced at everyone: "From today, you will be familiar with the various official responsibilities of my Ministry of Revenue. In half a month, you will truly get involved in some headquarters affairs."

With the two groups of people agreeing in unison, Lu You got up and left. However, when he came to Li Ling, he still looked at the young man deeply and snorted coldly.

After Lu You left, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. Dai Wanchun couldn't help looking at Li Ling: "Li Wenzhong, I know that as a Tanhua, you are superior, but don't harm us. If you offended Shangguan and got implicated, I'm just going to be a gangster, but what should I do?"

With his words, the other new Jinshi followed up and nodded: "Yes, Brother Li, it's really inappropriate for you to talk to Lord Lu like this just now. We are now an official of the court and a subordinate of him. We can no longer speak nonsense by our own temperament."

"Brother Li, don't harm us. We can't compare to your noble family. We are just from the same Jinshi. We still hope to show more in this political observation and stay in the Ministry of Revenue in the future..."

Faced with everyone's complaints, Li Ling could only accept it and apologized: "I was too proud before I gave it a break, so please take care of it."

"Hmph, I can't afford to wait. Let's go to the Qingjie Office first to take a look." Dai Wanchun did not accept his apology, and just said hello and took everyone out. In the end, only Li Ling was left in the hall, and a green-robed official who was arranged to guide him.

This is a middle-aged man who looked like Heihei, thin, in his early forties, and with a bitter face. At this moment, he looked at Li Ling in a tangled manner: "Mr. Li, are we going there together?" He was a few years old and a few years old when he was working in the yamen. He naturally understood that Li Ling's situation was worrying. Not only did he offend his superiors, but he also had conflicts with his colleagues in the same year and was excluded. The days ahead are probably not easy.

This made him think of himself. Ten years ago, he finally passed the exam and entered the officialdom with the Jinshi. He was disliked and excluded by his colleagues in the same year. In the end, he could only remain unknown in the Ministry of Revenue for ten years, without any benefits. Instead, he took the blame a few times. Then when other people were promoted and released in the same year, he was still a lower-level official of the Ministry of Revenue.

However, Li Ling's reaction was completely different from his helpless performance back then. He still sat on the chair and had no intention of getting up. He even held the tea cup and drank the tea happily: "Not busy. Now, with so many people coming over with you, what can you tell me? By the way, how can you ask the seniors for their honorary names?"

"I dare not use Zun. My name is Xiang Daxing. I am just a seventh-rank envoy in the Ministry of Revenue Department of Revenue."
