Biquge EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter in the 14th year of Chenghua!
According to the status of each department, the order of the six Ming dynasties is officials, households, ceremonies, soldiers, criminals, and workers.
The officials are all holding the promotion and evaluation of all officials in their hands.
The household is in charge of money.
The status of the Ritual Department and the Military Department is actually not so low, because the old saying has long been said: the great event of the country is in the worship and the war. Sacrificial offerings are all kinds of rituals, rituals, quests, divinations, and so on. Later, when there were six departments, this department was responsible for the functions. Rong is a soldier.
So in terms of status, the Ministry of Rites is the most precious, and the Ministry of Brigade is indispensable to a country.
Well, in the final analysis, everyone ’s status is very high, they are very important, and they are indispensable, so the bottom is the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry.
But don't think that there is less oil and water with lower status.
If divided according to the amount of oil and water, the order of the six departments should be rearranged: officials, households, workers, soldiers, rituals, and punishment.
This is also easy to understand. Since the officials are in charge of the promotion of officials, in order to find a good position and avoid being inferior in the investigation, it is inevitable to send money and gifts. The department is the fattest.
Although the status of the Ministry of Industry is not high, it is because of the traditional concept of everyone, not because it has less oil and water, where to build a palace, and where to build a river embankment, these require money, and where money is needed, you can make money Cut off a bit as oil and water.
No way, being a court official in the Ming Dynasty was too poor, and not everyone was willing to write as hard as Tang Fan to subsidize the family.
Do n’t look at the money management, but in fact there is not so much oil and water at hand. Taxes continue to fall, but taxes are always not collected. There are more and more large tax evaders, and commercial tax has been from the founding to the present. It has n’t changed, it ’s ridiculously low, it ’s almost useless, and there ’s even no place to accept it.
As a result, the Daming Household Ministry became the poorest household in history. The emperor took care of the people ’s livelihood and adjusted the tax rate even lower. The people were still in trouble. The people were intolerant to exploitation. Inside.
According to Tang Fang's own private estimates, last year the Treasury's tax revenue could be about 4 million or two a year, which is still too much, because of the various natural disasters in the previous year, only about two million.
But the money must also be distributed to various departments. It is not the Ministry of Households who can swallow it by themselves. The military department shouts that it is going to fight. Collapsed again and no money to repair ...
Dividing up and down, there is so much money left in the hands of the household, and it is no wonder that the salaries of the court officials have never been raised. Even if the emperor has the intention to raise wages, there is really no money. For the sake of life and enjoyment, there are fewer and fewer officials, and more and more corrupt officials. No matter what is above, and what follows is followed, the Chenghua Dynasty is in a mess.
However, these are not related to Tang Fan's things, but those of the old scholars should be worried. Tang Fan just wanted to manage, and no one listened to him.
All in all, in short, no matter in terms of status or oily water, the penal department counts down.
Although the Ministry of Penalty handles national prisons, to the level where the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is required to accept, it is generally difficult to decide a major case. Such cases are generally not dared to be bribed, even if the bribe is useless, not to mention a case is not The Penal Department has the final say, and sometimes it has to be tried together with the three departments of Dali Temple and the Procuratorate, and is restrained by the other two departments.
As a difficult brother and a brother, although the Ministry of Rites is also a cold government office with little oil, but they are still in charge of the imperial examinations, which is a grand event for scholars in the world, and the General Department of Rites still generally manages the Hanlin Academy, and its status is aloof. The bottom departments are really not comparable.
Now, Tang Fan is going to go to such a department.
Is the Criminal Department important? Of course it is important. Without the Penal Department, many major cases cannot be judged. After the death row inmates in various places are submitted to the central government, they are also waiting for the approval of the Penal Department, but no matter how important it is, it cannot be changed. There is no oil or water. The fact of fishing.
Like the other five, there is one Shangshu and two assistants in the Criminal Department.
Under the administrative divisions of the country, they are divided into provincial officials, specializing in hearing the cases submitted by the provinces. In addition, there are prisons, also known as the heavenly prison, and the leadership of the leaders-there are no grades of various officers, Instruments, soap, etc.
Tang Fan was the fifth-ranking official of the Henan Qing Lisi, the leader of the Henan Qing Lisi. He was directly responsible to Shang Shu, and he was in charge of the entire Henan Qing Li.
On the day when he took office, Tang Fan usually went to visit Shang Shu and the two assistants.
Zhang Ying, who is still a member of the criminal department, is close to Wanan, the first assistant of today, and he is also attached to Wan Guifei. There is no adultery, of course, it is not a kind generation. One day, this father was also one of the "Clay Sculpture Six Books" by Zhao Yeren.
However, Zhang Shangshu was not here today. Tang Fan emptied, and he could only visit the two assistants first.
In the criminal department, Zuo Shilang, Liang Wenhua's attitude towards Tang Fan was a bit strange. In the face of Tang Fan's self-introduction and courtesy, he just narrowed his eyes and asked slowly: "I heard that you worked in Suntianfu before?"
Tang Fan should be.
Liang Shilang said: "Although Suncheon House is in charge of public security in Gyeonggi Province, it is still a local government house. It is incomparable to the Criminal Department. You have to get used to it when you come to the Penal Department. Don't bring the little family spirit of Suncheon House here. After all, the six parts are six parts, and Shuntian House is incomparable! "
Tang Fan was a little strange in his heart, and he did n’t understand where the yin and yang stupid attitude of the other party came from. It stands to reason that the two had never met before, let alone any grudges. As a result, Liang Wenhua got better, and when he saw each other, he came out and looked like How much money I owe him.
Although he thought so, he still respectfully said: "Just follow the teachings of the Ministry."
Liang Shilang said a lot of lessons, but when Tang Fan was there like a wooden man, no matter what he said, he was respectful, and he felt bored in his heart, so he waved his hand back.
Tang Fanbian went to the duty room of You Shilang again.
The right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Peng Yichun, just passed the 65th birthday last month. He is not in good health and he is already in a semi-retired age. Like him, the chance of going up is not too big, so I will talk to other people in the Ministry. There was no competition between them. He saw Tang Fanbing and talked about it. He encouraged him. Although he didn't have any focus, it was all nonsense, but he showed his kind attitude anyway, and he did not live up to his good name.
When Tang Fan saw him, he asked for advice: "Peng Butang, Xiaguan and Liang Butang had never met each other, let alone old complaints, but when we went to visit him, he was quite cold. , I was so puzzled, I wondered whether Liang Butang had encountered any unpleasant things, or did the offender inadvertently offend him? "
Peng Shilang chuckled: "Liang Shilang wanted to come because he was in a bad mood recently. Don't worry, it will be fine in a few days."
It has never been possible to speak plainly to you in the officialdom. At this time, the other party needs to figure out for himself. Tang Fan is so clever, he immediately hears clues from his words: "It seems that Liang Shilang is in a bad mood. Is the officer related? "
After thinking about it, Peng Shilang finally said to him: "Liang Shilang has a disciple, and now he is in the position of the criminal department's Wai Lang. This time the Henan Qing Lisi vacated a place. He was originally a student of his own ..."
Tang Fan understood that he dared to become Cheng Biaojin, who had emerged halfway, and grabbed the position that other people had wanted to top. Naturally, others would see him as uncomfortable.
Knowing the truth, Tang Fan was helpless.
There are only a few official positions, but there are so many people who want to be promoted. You have a radish and a pit. If you occupy a position, others will only be greedy. Of course, you will be dissatisfied unless you give up your position. The question is who is willing?
When Peng Shilang saw his expression of helplessness, he smiled and said, "If it comes, it will be safe, and it will be done well."
Tang Fan is still very respectful to this gentle old gentleman.
After seeing the two courtiers, he returned to the courtyard where the Qing officials were located. The Qing Department of the Criminal Department was divided according to the 13 provinces of Daming. There were 13 Qing officials in total. Senior colleagues.
For this young colleague, most of them behaved indifferently, and even a little aloof, making Tang Fan boring.
But after learning the context from Peng Yichun's mouth, he was able to understand the attitude of others.
Because there was some wind in the middle of the DPRK, it was said that Zhang Ying would make up for the cabinet soon, and then naturally he would have to give up the position of Shang Shu, and the two assistants were inside, and Peng was very sick again. Naturally, the one who looked at Tang Fan Liang Shilang, who is not good to his eyes, will become the candidate of Shangshu in the next sentence.
In the officialdom, which one is not the character who sees the wind?
As soon as Tang Fan came to occupy the position of the next adult student of Shang Shu, it made Liang Shilang's boss unhappy, and Tang Fan did not have any foundation in the criminal department, between alienating a fifth-rank Lang and offending a Zhengpin , How would you choose?
Don't even think about it!
At this time, who was close to Tang Fan, wouldn't it mean that he didn't take Liang Shilang into his eyes?
Therefore, Tang Fan visited the officials of the other 12 provinces and got the same attitude.
Of course, no one will be too explicit, but they are not too enthusiastic. They are all polite and reserved, and they are aloof and polite, so that you can't speak awkwardly, and you can't pick out anything wrong.
The only exception is Tongzhong Lu Tongguang from Qingxi, the official of Jiangxi. This man is a kind man like Peng Shilang. Seeing Tang Fan seems to be ignorant, he knows the reason for it, so he told him euphemistically. Shi Lang is not an open-minded person. It is suggested that he should find a time to apologize to Liang Shi Lang, so as to avoid Liang Shi Lang's grudge, Tang Fan will often wear small shoes in the future.
Tang Fan thanked Lu Tongguang for his kindness, but pretended not to understand his suggestion, because in his opinion, he did nothing wrong, and this official position was not obtained by himself, but was assigned by the local government, Liang Shilang People who dare not go to the bureaucracy to settle their accounts, so they put their anger on their heads, which is really inexplicable. Being an official does often have to compromise, but it cannot be retired, which will only make people bully to death.
Besides, since Liang Wenhua has a narrow mind, even if he apologizes for tea and takes all the mistakes, he should still remember what he hated.
Lu Tongguang saw Tang Fan refused to listen to his words, and sighed in his heart. The young man in the dark said that he was still too proud. One day, he would not understand the reality until he had suffered a big loss. Yuan's psychology tells Tang Fan some trivial matters of the Qing officials.
He is always an enthusiastic person, and he actively instructed Tang Fan: "When you first arrived in Qing Dynasty, you were not very familiar with the subordinates of the company, especially those who were not good at it. Although they are humble, they are also the most popular. You will be able to steal and play tricks. If you want to instigate them, you might as well invite them to have a meal, contact each other and connect with each other, or take advantage of the opportunity to understand the situation, so as not to be kept in the dark. "
Tang Fan thanked him for his advice, and tried to ask: "Before I entered the penalty department, I heard that the officials of the Qing Dynasty had dinner every month and took turns to take charge of each other. Is this true or false? I am not afraid of Brother Lu's joke, I Although the parents died early, a person usually spends a lot of money on weekdays. If there is such a rule, I should borrow some money earlier, so that I wo n’t be able to treat the guests when I get the money. "
Lu Tongguang nodded: "There are indeed such rules, but you don't have to worry. The places we go to are not the big restaurants like Xiankelou. They're just ordinary small restaurants, and they don't use everyone's salaries."
Tang Fan was very surprised: "Where did the money come from?"
The two talked with each other deeply, but Lu Tongguang stopped talking, and finally told him the truth.
It turns out that this criminal department is not the same as what Tang Fan imagined. Although it is a cold office, it is not without oil and water. Like some major cases, as long as it is not a major case related to rebellion, it is usually submitted to the criminal department, and the criminal department can do it. Decided by yourself, there is room for discussion.
For example, if sentenced to exile, three hundred miles and three thousand miles must be different. The punishment for the stick is definitely different from stick ten to stick one hundred. For many crimes, there is only a general rule in Daming Law. If anyone encounters dredging activities, the sentence may be lighter.
But it also depends on the region, like Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, these are relatively rich provinces, there are rich people, can also use money to dredge more, like Henan, Guizhou where Tang Fan is located, Yunnan, etc., there is much less oil and water.
These are all unspoken rules, so the Qing officials take turns to do the east dinner. In fact, those rich officials will take out part of the oil and water to treat the guests, lest the other officials will look at the red eyes and run to report themselves. By the time the fish died and the net was broken, no one had to play.
Seeing Tang Fan suddenly realized, Lu Tongguang said: "You do n’t need to worry, everyone knows that there is no oil and water in Henan Qinglisi, and it wo n’t force you to entertain guests, but if you first arrive, if you want to have a good relationship with other people, it ’s better not to Stingy with that little silver money, if you are worried about the lack of money for the guests, I still have a little ... "
Tang Fan finally saw his kindness and quickly smiled: "No need, I will ask, thank you brother for your kindness, I can afford a meal, you can rest assured if you say that, I should be invited every month! "
During this exchange, the relationship between the two immediately got close.
Lu Tongguang smiled: "How is this possible, this method of asking, even the ministers can't afford it!"
Tang Fandao: "Dare to ask my brother, who should be the host at the end of this month?"
Lu Tongguang twisted his beard: "According to the rules, it should be my turn."
Tang Fan also laughed: "That would be a coincidence, so let me discuss it with my brother and join a team. How about I come first at the end of this month?"
Lu Tongguang also talked and nodded, "Yes, anyway, you just took office, you can really get acquainted with colleagues and get in touch through dinner, but you should be careful when booking a place, you don't have to book those big restaurants, restaurants, Some small restaurants with good quality and low price will do just fine, otherwise if you open your head, people in the back will blame you. "
This is a conscientious suggestion. Tang Fan also understood the truth and quickly taught: "How many ministries should I invite?"
Lu Tongguang shook his head: "No, several ministries cherish feathers and will not be mixed with me, just ask for the Shiro Zhong and Yuan Wai Lang."
Tang Fan asked again: "Doesn't the principal need to be invited?"
Yuan Wailang is the deputy of Langzhong, and the main thing is to go to the next level, the grade is Zhengliu, each division is one person.
Lu Tongguang shook his head again: "No, just Langzhong and Yuanwailang."
There is a lot of attention here. In the eyes of a director such as Lu Tongguang, the principal belongs to the striker. Although he has a grade, he does not need to be too close, otherwise he will confuse the primary and secondary and will make people look down.
In this way, the rules of the Six Departments are stricter than that of Suncheon Mansion. If you are having dinner in Suncheon Mansion, Tang Fan will generally call the patrol leader like Lao Wang together to show concentricity.
It seems that every place has its own rules. Tang Fan jotted down these details and chatted with Lu Tongguang a few times before preparing to leave. He said that he has n’t been to his site yet, see After those subordinates, they naturally have to go back to recognize a familiar face.
As a result, Lu Tongguang stopped him: "Brother Runqing, there is something, I have to tell you first."
Tang Fan saw him being so solemn, and felt a bit bad: "Brother Lu, but it's okay."
Lu Tongguang said: "Your deputy now, Yuan Wai Lang Yuan Yuanhua, is the student of Liang Shilang, who was originally going to take the place of you."
Tang Fan: "..."
With the bad news revealed to him by the landing light, Tang Fan finally came to his room.
This is no different from the other houses on duty. The slight difference is the decoration inside. Originally, there were a lot of flowers and plants. It can be seen that his predecessor Zhou Lang was a person who loves to plant flowers and plants. Unfortunately, the owner left. The subordinate did not know what the new boss was interested in. These flowers and plants were removed and placed under the corridor, and they all withered away.
As soon as Tang Fan entered the duty room, he saw that someone was preparing to remove a pot of peony from inside.
When he met Tang Fan, he quickly put the flower pots down and saluted: "Xiaguan Henan Qingli Chief Dai Hongming, see my lord!"
Tang Fan exempted him and asked, "Is these flowers left by his predecessor Zhou Lang?"
Dai Hongming should be, the former chief was dead, and many people were a little taboo. The new officer took office, and the things here were to be replaced. He saw that the soaps were lazy, and they only changed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Without moving the flowers, it was almost time to see the time again. Seeing that Tang Fan had visited his boss colleagues, it was time to come over, so he had to do it himself and prepare to move the flowers out so as not to violate the taboo of the new boss.
Who knows, Tang Fan said: "I look good, so I don't have to move out, or move back, that is, no one is watering these flowers and plants, so I have to water them quickly so as not to die soon."
Dai Hongming almost cried when he heard that, so I wondered why did I use that energy to move in and out?
But he did not dare to refute. As the saying goes that the new official takes three fires, who knows if this Tang Langzhong will find him in trouble because of his slackness, so he has to do what he wants, and then he will move the pot of peony back In place, I have to move outside.
Tang Fan stopped him, the tone was very kind: "Master Dai, these trivial matters are left to others to do, please don't be busy first, the officer has something to talk to you."
Dai Hongming was a little stunned: "I don't know what adult wants to ask?"
Tang Fan laughed: "You don't have to be nervous, I just ask casually. How many officers are there in this Qingli Secretary in Henan?"
Dai Hongming said: "There are four back to adults, two of them are clerical, and the other two are hard of hearing. If you have any work that requires errands, you can tell them to do it."
He paused and smiled a little pleasingly: "Of course, if there is something important for adults, it is inconvenient for them to hand over to them, and it can be handed over to the lieutenant!"
Dai Hongming was forty years old this year, but he was still in the Criminal Department as the main director of Zhengliupin. In the final analysis, besides he had no great skills, and because he had no background, he worked with Tang Fan ’s predecessor for nine years and remained in place. Step by step.
He did not have a good teacher like Yuanwai Lang Yinyuanhua. The three-ranked jinshi like Dai Hongming was only a little stronger than the exemplified person, so he could only rely on his superiors to carry him. Child.
It seems that Tang Fan, the new boss, could have been used as a new backer, but unfortunately Tang Pan grabbed Yin Yuanhua's position. Yin Yuanhua hated him so badly that he was backed by Liang Shilang. Can this new boss sit firmly? The position is still hard to say. Dai Hongming's entanglement in his heart. Before Tang Fan arrived, he struggled for a long time. At first sight, Tang Fan was so young, and his heart was suddenly cold. He felt that he must be unable to fight Yin Yuanhua. Furnished for wooden puppets.
Tang Fan smiled, and didn't seem to understand what he meant by the words: "That's it, the officer took office the first day, you call everyone, and everyone is familiar with each other."
Dai Hongming was a little disappointed, and had to fight hard to respond, and split his head to call someone.
After a quarter of an hour, the staff were basically there, and everyone saluted Tang Fan and introduced themselves one by one.
Tang Fan swept around and suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Yin Yuanwailang?"
Dai Hong secretly complained, and said with a strong smile: "Yin Yuanwailang said that he was guilty of an old illness and had some inconvenience in his legs and feet. He couldn't walk the road, so I confessed to the adults, saying yes, not coming."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed, which clearly did not put Tang Lang in his eyes!
They all looked at Tang Fan, wanting to see how he solved the matter.
But Tang Fan's face was slightly surprised, and concerned: "Inconvenient legs and feet? But lame?"
Why does it sound like a curse? Everyone murmured secretly, and looked at the sincere concern of Lord Langzhong's face, but they felt different.
Dai Hongming's words were insane, and Zhizhiwuwu said: "... Maybe it is Yin Yuanwailang's old problem with arthralgia?"
Just kidding, Yin Yuanhua is only thirty years old this year. Where can I get rheumatism?
But Dai Hongming can't always say that he deliberately couldn't get through with you, so I'm displacing you?
Tang Fan sighed: "Yin Yuanwailang has just passed by now, and he has suffered from paralysis at a young age. What should he do in the future? It doesn't matter, even if he is sick, he should recuperate and recuperate.
It really is a soft persimmon. Everyone thought secretly that he thought he knew the origin of Yin Yuanhua, so he dared not tear his face away from each other.
At the next moment, they heard Tang Fan said again: "Well, Master Dai, you let people go outside to buy something and send it to Yin Yuanwailang.
Dai Hongming asked helplessly: "What to send?"
Unexpectedly, this new boss not only ignored Yin Yuanhua's rudeness, but also planned to take the initiative to bow his head, how to face this!
He groaned secretly, and his mood completely fell to the bottom, as if he could already predict his bleak future!
Tang Fan seemed to be unaware of the different emotions of everyone: "Go to the drugstore and buy some windproof and Shichangpu."
What kind of gift is this?
When Dai Hongming stayed blank, he thought he had misheard: "Ah?"
Tang Fan displeased and said: "Don't the official say it clearly enough?"
Dai Hongming hurriedly said: "No, no, let's go now!"
He didn't know what the effect of Shichangpu was, but everyone knew that windproof treatment of rheumatic arthralgia. Dai Hongming didn't know for a while whether this boss really understood or was confused.
For the sake of insurance, he asked again: "Adult, how many of these two kinds of medicines should be appropriate, what is Shichangpu?"
Tang Fan chuckled: "Shi Changpu, who treats madness and forgetfulness, has the effect of awakening the mind and puzzles, and is suitable for Yin Yuanwailang's illness! As for the number of catches, I think Yin Yuanwailang is sick, at least one medicine It's enough to grab four or five dollars! "
Dare to love this is mocking Yin Yuanhua, it turns out that this adult is not afraid of him, but to fight against others!
But this medicine was delivered, Yin Yuanhua couldn't be mad?
Everyone couldn't react for a while, and they all stared blankly at Tang Fan.
Dai Hongming said bitterly, "Sir, isn't that good?"
Tang Fan smiled, and looked at him coldly: "Why, do you intend to violate the order of the official?"
Dai Hongming stunned, even dare not.
Of course, he did n’t buy it in person. After the meeting, Dai Hongming took the money and told the next secretary to buy these two herbs. The secretary had been scolded by Yin Yuanhua, and he wanted to please the new Langzhong. After buying half a catty, Dai Hongming's face was half black at first sight.
He also knows that Tang Fan is forcing himself to stand in a team. If he ca n’t satisfy Tang Fan, he will definitely be alienated and rejected in the future, but Dai Hongming was not right with Yin Yuanhua. Yin Yuanhua also disliked him.
After thinking about it, Dai Hongming gritted his teeth and tried to fight it, so he personally took the medicine and delivered it.
Yin Yuanhua was proud of his dismissal to Tang Fan, and one of the members who had been pleased to please his manager ran to report to him again what Tang Fan said before. Yin Yuanhua was furious when he heard that. Is cursing himself!
The result was not exhausted yet, Dai Hongming really delivered the medicinal materials.
This is a bare, naked face!
In less than a day, the criminal department was spreading all over the place. Yin Yuanwai Lang of the Qing Dynasty Secretary of Henan Province relied on his teacher who was serving as a servant. He did not take the new boss into his eyes, but he did not expect to be slammed.
Yin Yuanhua excused his leg and foot pain and did not go to the meeting of the new boss. Turning around, Tang Fan sent Shi Changpu to ridicule his brain. Everyone heard this, and his belly laughed and secretly worried for Tang Fan.
Would you like to eat good fruit for a while?
This incident quickly spread to the ear of Zuo Shilang Liang Wenhua.
The author has something to say:
Do n’t look at the fact that Tang only knows how to eat, but he does n’t know how to martial arts, and his belly is very ruthless!
He did not know the depth, did not think about the consequences of annoying Yin Yuanhua backing?
Hey, and listen to decomposition next time ~
The taxation of the Chenghua dynasty for one year was fictitious compared to that of the Wanli period. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty ’s central finance was a mess. This has nothing to do with this article. The literary shop is a little bit, so I just mentioned it briefly.
