Chapter 61 First day in office

Since visiting Wei Liang in the third year of junior high school, Li Ling has started a hard-working study mode. He either read or wrote articles every day, and did not even step out of his home, but he regarded the writing of the gods as a brain-changing rest.

A topic-setting article every day is quite a test of a person's writing ability, and Wei Liang's requirements for him are not low. In addition, the careful explanation for almost half an hour every day has made Li Ling consciously make great progress in the imperial examination composition.

If his articles were just smooth and smooth in the past, now there are some more highlights, and some articles can even make the words of saints and say some great truths in a high-level way. These are the heights that Li Ling could not reach when he was exploring the writing of articles in the past, and only with the guidance of Wei and Liang could he achieve such achievements. After all, writing writing was known as the art of making art at that time, and reading the scriptures was only the foundation, diligence, talent, experience, etc. were essential. Wei Liang, as the palace, was naturally the best-selling existence.

However, for Li Ling, writing articles has improved a lot, but he was most happy. He felt that the biggest gain was that Wei Liang borrowed several of his notebook books. The content on it was the real treasure, which was a key to let him know more clearly about the Dayue Dynasty.

Originally, Li Ling only knew that the Great Yue Dynasty where he was located was a dynasty that appeared out of thin air after the Song Dynasty. In this era, no foreign tribes such as the Jin and Yuan dynasties invaded the Central Plains, resulting in the cruelty of the Han people, and the Chinese civilization of clothing and clothing was almost cut off... As for more details, they know very little.

It's different now. He read the notes and found out that there was a short-lived Chai Zhou court between Song and Yue. Although Zhou asked the emperor to abdicate the throne to Yue Taizu and Sun Tu in just a few years, this is still an important node that cannot be ignored.

Then there are many policies set when Dayue was founded and looked quite advanced at this time, such as civil and military personnel who did not belong to each other, and there was no such thing as the Song and Ming dynasties that could directly command the generals when they came to the battlefield. This made the combat effectiveness of the Dayue army many times stronger than that of Song and Shi. The selection of military officers was not only tested for archery and horse martial arts like later, but more of the examinations for military command and other aspects. Instead, personal bravery was placed in the second-class position.

In order to allow the court to better control the border army, the Taizu Dynasty set a ancestral teaching during the Taizu Dynasty. After becoming an adult, the crown prince must stay in the border army for three years to go through the real battlefield test and win the support of the border general before returning to the capital to govern. This ancestral teaching is still implemented by the royal family until now, and the crown prince of this dynasty is still in the northern army.

However, there are many policies that were left or tampered with in the decades after Taizu's death. For example, the imperial examination reform advocated earlier, the six departments of the court had different sets of things to take the school and then admitted to the best. When Taizu was still alive, the imperial examination examination was divided into five or six different subjects for the exam. As a result, this extremely advanced examination and employment system in Li Ling's opinion was changed back in the late Taizong Dynasty, so today's imperial examination system was found. The only thing that makes people feel glad that there was no such rigidity as the eight-legged essay, which was so rigid that even the paragraph style and number of words were customized. At least the current imperial examination is mainly written and fu, and poetry is not valued.

However, there was no such thing as the promotion of even good calculus during the Taizu Dynasty. According to the notes, Wang Luo, the third Minister of Works, was even a illiterate mason who was not very literate...

All of these records made Li Ling open his eyes and gain insight, and at the same time, he also made him more and more sure that the founding king of the Dayue Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Wu, Sun Tu, was a time traveler, and he was extremely rational and had a powerful ability to change the world. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the time traveler was, he could not withstand the torrent of history. Although the Dayue Dynasty he established was still there, the many laws and reforms he set had long become empty words, and the times finally returned to the direction it should go...

Of course, these high-ranking things are still too far away for Li Ling now. Just take a look at them as a lively one, which only gives him a broader and comprehensive perspective to understand the contents of the scriptures and comments, thus reflecting them in the articles he has written.

From here, Li Ling can also see how big the gap between the children of aristocratic families and the children of poor families. It was impossible for him to see these things before, but for aristocratic families like Wei and Liang, all this is within reach, so they can have an absolute advantage in the imperial examinations one after another, while the children of poor families need extremely high talent or excellent luck to reach the starting point of the children of aristocratic families.

This understanding also made Li Ling less willing to miss the current great opportunity easily. He studied and wrote at home more and more hardworking. Even on the 15th, he did not go out to watch the lanterns, and only asked Gu Yuezi to take Yue'er to the Yaqian Street area for a while.

Then, the time came to the 17th day of the first lunar month. The Chinese New Year Festival on the third day means that the New Year Festival has come to an end and the yamen has reopened. Li Ling should also report to the county government office.

The winter is short, and today is cloudy again, so the hour of Mao is about to end, and the genius is dawn. But the Li brother and sister had already gotten up. After dinner, Li Ling planned to go out to the yamen. However, Yue'er called out by Yue'er before going out: "Brother, wait..." Yue'er said, and walked up to him, asking him to stand and stop moving, and then stood on tiptoe to tidy up the back of the slightly distorted official's robe for him, "It's much better, it looks so majestic."

Li Ling looked down at his soapy robe and hat, which was really impossible to associate with the word "magnanimity". Not to mention this outfit, even the green robes of the two assistant officials looked a little LOW in his eyes, and the county magistrate's blue official uniform barely looked a little.

"Brother, there is also this. You put it on, so you can bless you everything goes well." Yue'er said, and tied another red rope strung with two wooden beads to Li Ling's hand.

Li Ling smiled and let her do it, and then said strangely: "Where did you get this thing?"

"This is what my sister-in-law and I asked for during the Lantern Festival, but it worked." Yue'er said solemnly, and raised her right hand and lit up the same red rope.

Well, as long as my sister is happy. Li Ling smiled, didn't say anything, and waved at her again: "Then I'm leaving, you can make a bowl of noodles for lunch, and I'll bring the delicious food back tonight."

"Yeah." The little girl nodded vigorously with a smile, as if she had thought of something good.

"Also, don't forget to copy the song "Li Sao" three times. I'll check it when I'm back tonight." Li Ling dropped his last sentence and left with a smile. Yue'er's face behind her completely collapsed: "Ah..." She was still careless and didn't let her brother plot to attack her...

At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Li Ling had already arrived in front of the county government. Although he had been here many times in the past, his mood was completely different today. When he came to the open door, he was obviously stunned and looked around and inside. If he had a mobile phone in his hand now, he might have to take a selfie for himself with the county government as the background and then post it to his friends to show off. My brother was a county civil servant at the age of nineteen, and he was still a cadre at the department level or above. Are you envious? Hahahahaha...

With a strange mood, Li Ling stepped over the high threshold and officially entered the county government. The officers on both sides bowed and bowed to him when they saw his outfit: "Happy New Year Li Dianli."

"You are also happy new year. Can the county magistrate be in the second hall?"

"Yes, I will have to wait for the yamen later, so please prepare Li Dianli."

"Well." Li Ling nodded. Through the notes given by Wei Liang, he knew what kind of ceremony the Paiya was, which was equivalent to the morning court of the highest local officials. However, unlike the emperor's morning court, Paiya usually only once every one a month, but the show was quite large, which made the seal officer enjoy the official's appetite and was considered a unique benefit for local officials.

Since he had some time left before Paiya, Li Ling planned to go to the house to meet with his subordinates first, communicate his feelings, and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation. Thinking of this, after entering the second hall, he did not go to the county magistrate's public housing, but directly transferred to the second house on the right to sign the house.

Although the county government occupied a large area, it was occupied by a large part of the lobby and a part of the county magistrate's rear yamen, which made the area used for office seem a bit cramped. So even if the household houses were the one with the most real power among the six rooms in the county government, their entrustment house was still only one, which was only more spacious than the other rooms. But there were many people here, with seven or eight people before, and after the previous storm, there were five people, including Li Ling, the official.

Now as Li Ling walked into the signing room, the four people who were talking in the room kept their mouths at the same time, and then stood up to salute one after another: "I have met Li Dianli for ten thousand years."

"Don't be too polite for everyone, you are having a happy New Year," Li Ling smiled and waved his hand. "We have met before, but we don't know your names. Seeing that there is some time now, let's introduce ourselves to each other. My name is Li Ling, and I am the official here for the time being."

"Little Lin Qing!" a man with a round face said with a smile.

"Little Zhao Han!"

"Little Zhou Linyuan!"

"The little Fang Zhiyuan"

Several people respectfully reported their names, and they seemed to be unable to find any mistakes, but Li Ling clearly felt the alienation from them, especially the one named Fang Zhiyuan, who bowed, looked lazy and did not take him seriously, and even had a little bit of hostility that could not be concealed.

It seems that I was arranged by the county magistrate as a household registration official and it is not recognized by the subordinates.
