Chapter 011 Being an Official

The imperial examination system did not start in the Ming Dynasty, but carried forward in the Ming Dynasty. It was really interesting to say that although there were imperial examinations in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the admission quota was very small, and only dozens of people were often taken for one subject. Since the third year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty has held imperial examinations and expanded their enrollment. Now people who wanted to be officials squeezed their heads and took reading as their career, and these people were the foundation of the power of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Following the process of lighting to become an official, Lin Zimo's "political review" was reported step by step. If three or five years, a person can make up for a real gap, it shows that the person's luck is surprisingly good, and most of the positions obtained are teaching, training and so on. If the people of the Ming Dynasty wait for one and have not filled the gap for 20 years, it is also a normal phenomenon. After all, this is a phenomenon of oversupply.

If you get a scholar, this person will soon be appointed as an official position by the court, which belongs to a relationship where supply is less than demand. After all, there will only be a trial in three years. If the emperor, the empress dowager's birthday and the country is overjoyed, it will add Enke. The admission quota of Jinshi is uncertain, about 300 in the Ming Dynasty, which are divided into three regions: south, north and middle.

It seems that the number of people admitted every three years is relatively large, but if one of the officials' parents dies, they will have to stay without pay for three years of filial piety. There will be vacancies in the death of in-service officials, accidental death, etc. At that time, medicine and transportation were underdeveloped, so positions were often vacated. After passing through the middle school, all the officials will do it.

Lin Zimo's "report" has been approved in less than a month. He was appointed as the main book of Zhengjiupin in Pingnan County, and his monthly salary was five stones and five buckets. This time, Lin Zimo's luck did not belong to the category of winning billions of prizes. Because Guangxi Province is not peaceful, and Xunzhou Prefecture is a "hard-hit area". The officials appointed here either pretend to be sick or pretend to be stupid and try their best not to take office. After all, it is naturally the most important thing to make a rational choice between being an official and saving their lives.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials saw someone recommending themselves, so they completed Lin Zimo's heart of boxing to serve the country. When Yang Mengqi learned that he was an official, he was angry that he was not self-motivated, while Chu Hanlu, who did not know the "rules of the game", looked happy. Lin Zimo, who received the civil service, is surprisingly calm in his heart.

and Lin Zimo are Wang Pengfei, who have always been friends. They bought gifts and hurried to the Lin family to express their congratulations. Yang Mengqi did not come out to see the guests, but sat in his bedroom and sulked. On the contrary, the clever Chu Hanlu walked out of the study and met the guests. After setting up tea, he quietly returned to the study to continue to read and practice.

Wang Pengfei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He said with regret, "Although you have been given an official position by the court, I think you are of great use."

Lin Zimo, who can no longer speak eight-part essays, smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, Miao. However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Regardless of the level of official position, I will serve the court wholeheartedly. If I really have a talent, I will definitely show off my lint in the future. I still need to rely on you more for the business in the government.

"It's a forgone conclusion, and I can't say more." Wang Pengfei shook his head and said, "Now, you and I are colleagues, so I will say it directly. Our county magistrate Zhang Chi is a timid, greedy and lustful master. You have two beautiful wives in your family, so I suggest that you stay away from him.

"Thank you for your reminder." Lin Zimo arched his hand and said sincerely gratefully, "I'm new here. I hope you can tell me more about the public affairs. I will pay a lot of attention to what I do in the future.

"Although Li Renjie, the county magistrate, is a 60-year-old man, his character is not flattering. This man is a big bastard in the county government. He is good at slipping and patting horses, and mud, bullying good and fearing evil. Wang Pengfei held a tea bowl in his hand and smiled and said, "Except for these two people, you need to pay more attention, and several other people are not harmful to you. After all, you are the third masters of Pingnan County."

While playing with the tea lid, Lin Zimo clearly knew that the two people he mentioned were also his boss. If you want to deal with the two in the future, you must cheer up. After all, the official level will crush people to death.

Wang Pengfei saw Lin Zi silent and thought that he was very worried, so he turned around and said, "Don't worry too much. You just need to do your business properly, and they must not find your trouble."

Lin Zimo faced him and said with a smile, "Brother Wang said yes. At least I am a court official. I have no grudge against the two of them recently and have no hatred in the distant future. Presumably they will not make things difficult for me too much.

With that time, Wang Pengfei also laughed with him. At this moment, Lin Zimo is most worried about not the interpersonal relationship in the public, but the resistance to the movement of the rebels in the imperial court. These days, he heard a lot of rumors in teahouses and restaurants. Although these rumors may not be true, they serve as an early warning. I wanted to take Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu away from here, but the shyness in my bag and the safety of the road became a big problem.

While Lin Zimo and Wang Pengfei were chatting, Chu Dalang came to congratulate him with some of his little sister's favorite food. He put down the gift and sat down ignorantly, so the two quickly stopped the topic.

Wang Pengfei laughed loudly and casually said, "Dalang is coming."

Chu Dalang stood up and bowed to Lin Zimo and him separately: "Good brother-in-law, Wang catcher."

Lin Zimo suddenly felt a little unnatural and wanted to open him and said, "Your little sister is in the study. Let's go and see her!" In the past few days, she is thinking about your eldest brother.

"Oh..." Chu Dalang, who didn't understand the meaning of his words, still stood still and said straight, "Since my brother-in-law is already an official, I want to do a job with you."

I'm really angry when I hear Lin Zimo here. He is just a small official, and before he takes office, someone has come to ask him to do something. If he refuses Chu Dalang, he will feel too imhumane. After all, Chu Hanlu is a woman who is righteous.

Lin Zimo held his head and said, "Since you want me to help you find a job in the government, you have to tell me what expertise you have?"

Chu Dalang thought for a moment and shouted, "I have the strength to resist a log."

Wang Pengfei, who had just drunk tea, burst out laughing. Lin Zimo, who seemed a little embarrassed, was quite helpless. I really don't know what Chu Dalang thought? Lin Zimo doesn't think his brother-in-law is a fool. After all, he can come for an errand.

Wang Pengfei, who slowly put down the teacup, sold it to Lin Zimou and said with a smile, "That's good. I will be the master of Lin's book. Since you have the strength, come to me. Although you can't make it a formal arrest, it's okay to arrange a follower for you.

Chu Dalang knelt down excitedly and kowtowed as if he had been beaten chicken blood and said, "Thank you, Wang, brother-in-law."

He, who can hold an "iron rice bowl" in the future, is in such a good mood that it is difficult to describe it in words. In the past, Chu Dalang didn't dare to think about it. After all, he had nothing to do with it and no money. Nowadays, I have a backer in the government of Pingnan County. Lin Zimo, with a wry smile on his face, didn't say a word until he got up again and took his things to the study.

"Let Brother Wang laugh." Lin Zimo's face was calm, and there was a little embarrassment in his heart.

"It's okay." Wang Pengfei said calmly, "This kind of thing is normal. Don't worry about it. Since Chu Dalang is your relative, he is also my relative. I will arrange a slightly leisurely job for him. Anyway, there is a shortage of people there. Anyone can use it.

Lin Zi, who knew it, silently understood that first, Wang Pengfei wanted to return the favor of saving his son's life; second, the two were colleagues working in a government, and they could not take care of each other in the future; third, they had a private relationship with each other. After the two talked for a while, Wang Pengfei left. Lin Zimo, who sent him away, called his mother in the hall, cleaned up the tea set, and returned to the upper room to do Yang Mengqi's ideological work.

Lin Zimo, who walked to her, showed a kind smile and said, "I know you're still angry. Blame me for not growing up."

Yang Mengqi, who was always heartbroken, said with no expression on his face, "I dare not."

Lin Zimo sat next to her and lied and said, "Today's world is not peaceful. If a man wants to make contributions, he is the best way out of science, and his husband believes that pragmatism is the best way."

Yang Mengqi, sitting on the edge of the bed, turned his sideways and wanted to listen to his high opinion, "Then tell the slave family about your ambition."

"Opportunity is all around us." Lin Zimo put on a serious expression and said, "Our surroundings are not peaceful. Although it is dangerous, there is an opportunity. I can't lift a three-foot sword to eliminate hidden dangers for the imperial court. However, it can still be done to protect the peace of the people. Once you have political achievements, promotion will become relatively easy. When you become a senior official, you can also be a wife.

Yang Mengqi clearly said that it was easy, but it was difficult to do. It doesn't matter whether he is sealed or not, but he doesn't want him to be in danger. Her heart is not happy, but she doesn't want to be angry with him from the bottom of her heart. Now that it has become a fact, you can only look forward.

Yang Mengqi sighed and said, "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog. Since the slave family has become your wife, you can say whatever you want.

Lin Zimo smiled brightly, stood up and bowed, "My wife is virtuous."
