I want to be emperor

Chapter 230 Mr. Zhang

What Zhang Zijin didn't know was that the Township Protection Army gave more generous treatment to the scholars who had come over this time and the scholars with higher degrees of academic excellence and the puppet officials who had left their posts at home due to various reasons.

There are not a few authentic fifth-rank ones, and there are even several fourth-rank and third-rank ones.

In this group of people, Zhang Zijin was actually treated normally.

Of course, Zhang Zijin's treatment is not bad compared to a group of talented scholars who have defected to him.

After Zhang Zijin took over the appointment of the Great Chu Empire, he ate and drank together with Fang Xubing, who had also been an official in Chu and was assigned to work in the Finance Department that night. The two of them talked about the past and sighed Own encounters over the years.

At the end, Fang Xubing raised his glass and said, "Master Zhang..."

Zhang Zijin was taken aback for a moment, then raised his glass with a smile on his face: "Lord Fang!"

After Zhang Zijin finished speaking, he started to laugh out loud, and Fang Xubing also laughed heartily!

Before dawn the next day, Zhang Zijin woke up early in the morning. Although he still felt a little hungover, he felt much better after washing up.

He called his entourage over: "You go to the city to find a house to live in, you can rent it, or buy it directly, and solve it as soon as possible."

Zhang Zijin came here this time, he came in a hurry, and he didn't have time to arrange someone to stand in front of him. The most important thing is that he didn't make a final decision on whether to vote for Chu when he came. Even if he voted for Chu, he didn't know where he would be arranged. serve.

So I didn't buy real estate in advance, and lived in Fang's house for the past few days.

Now that the job arrangement is in place, Zhang Zijin naturally wants to find a house to move out as soon as possible.

Although Fang Xubing definitely had no objections or even welcomed him to continue living in Fang's house, Zhang Zijin was unwilling to live in someone else's house for a long time.

In other people's homes, it's always inconvenient
After arranging his entourage to find a house, Zhang Zijin and Fang Xubing went out together, but they didn't go together, but separated after they just left the intersection.

Because the yamen of the two of them are not in the same place, not even in the same direction!
After Luo Zhixue ascended the throne in Hanyang City, he relocated all the central institutions of the Great Chu Empire. There are dozens of institutions gathered here. There are not so many large buildings in Hanyang City for them to concentrate on. office.

Therefore, it can only be placed one piece in the east and one piece in the west.

However, this is only temporary. After the subsequent Chu army conquers Wuchang, this situation will be greatly changed.

Hanyang City is small in scale and mainly commercial, but Wuchang City is different.

Wuchang City is the political and military center of Huguang. In the city, there are many official institutions such as Chu Wangfu, Huguang Governor, Buzheng Envoy, Press Envoy, and Commanding Envoy. Various office buildings in the city are indispensable.

After taking over these office buildings at that time, the administrative communication efficiency of various departments in the capital of the Great Chu Empire can be greatly improved.

It is said that although Wuchang City has not yet been captured, the various departments of the Great Chu Empire have arranged for the use of many buildings in Wuchang City.

Chu Palace, needless to say, will definitely be used as Luo Zhixue's residence.

This is the same as the other three palaces controlled by the Township Protection Army, that is, the Tang Palace, the Xiangwang Palace, and the Jing Palace are all used as palaces.

The buildings of other official institutions will also be arranged one by one, and they will be placed in a centralized manner, which is convenient for security work and communication between various departments.

Zhang Zijin traveled all the way in the carriage, and finally arrived at the Ministry of Rites and Education smoothly.

Zhang Zijin from the Ministry of Rites and Education had already been here yesterday. After the selection of officials was over, he was taken to the Ministry of Rites and Education to identify places and people, and he registered in advance.

So coming here today, he can be regarded as familiar with the road.

The place where the Ministry of Rites and Education is located is not big, and it was not an official institution building before, but it was converted from a guild hall.

The buildings suitable for office work in the city are very tight, and the Ministry of Ethics and Education is not a powerful institution, so it is not easy to be allocated a guild hall as an office space.

After entering the Ministry of Etiquette and Education, Zhang Zijin first went to see the head of the Imperial Examination Department, and then the left and right deputy directors. Among them, the right deputy director was still his immediate boss, because the right deputy director directly concurrently served as the school inspector. The position of Director.

After visiting these three bosses, Zhang Zijin arrived at his assigned office.

This office is not big, just a small room, and there are two desks inside, and there is already a young man who is much younger than him, probably only in his twenties, sitting in it.

This person's surname is Li and his name is Huan. Like him, they are all new officials who have just come in this time for the selection of officials, and they also serve in the Superintendent's Office.

When these two newcomers met, it was inevitable to say hello and chat. Zhang Zijin also had a very good attitude. He didn't pretend to be an elder just because the other party was young, but spoke in a peer-to-peer tone.

Anyway, they are colleagues, and they are colleagues sitting in the same office, Zhang Zijin is naturally unwilling to make the relationship between colleagues tense.

So the attitude is better.

Zhang Zijin gave the face, and Li Huan on the opposite side was also a seasoned old fritter. When chatting, he was very polite with a smile on his face, one senior at a time.

Overall, the two get along quite happily.

After the chat was over, Zhang Zijin began to work officially.

When I went to visit a group of bosses just now, Zhang Zijin's work tasks had already been preliminarily assigned.

It is very simple to say, it is to formulate various regulations for the upcoming Dengji Enke, and let him serve as one of the deputy examiners at that time.

Zhang Zijin himself is also an old man of the imperial examination. He has played the imperial examination for half his life, so he is very familiar with various procedures, so he quickly sorted out the various regulations of the imperial examination and submitted them to him.

What Zhang Zijin didn't expect was that he didn't know whether the materials he wrote were too good, or his superiors were so relieved of himself. After the imperial examination regulations materials he wrote were sent up, the superiors quickly issued instructions. The imperial examination regulations were formulated well, quite clear.

Immediately afterwards, the superiors arranged for him to be fully responsible for all the constitutional matters of Enke's ascension to the throne this time.

It's okay to be a school inspector when you first come here, but you will be reused within two days of taking the job?

He is fully responsible for the formulation of Enke's charter this time, how much trust in him...

At this time, Zhang Zijin didn't know why, but after two days, he finally knew why.

The Ministry of Ethics is very busy...

When he first came in, he was relatively leisurely, and he was only in charge of the imperial examination affairs for the time being, but none of the others kept their feet on the ground, and there were a lot of messy things.

Moreover, there are still few people in their etiquette department...

In today's Ministry of Etiquette and Education, apart from ordinary staff members of the eighth rank and ninth rank who are engaged in ordinary clerical work, there are only about forty people who are in charge of each section chief or above...

Seven or eight of them are still newbies who are not yet familiar with the office procedures of the Great Chu Empire, and need time to become familiar with the workflow.

This means that for the time being, there are only more than 30 people in the Ministry of Ethics who are mainly responsible for affairs...

But according to the official system, the Ministry of Rites and Education has several divisions, each division is subordinate to each department, and each division is subordinate to each department. According to this calculation, there must be hundreds of officials above the section chief.

However, now there are only more than 30 people in charge of affairs, which is equivalent to one person doing the work of three people. As a result, there are a lot of affairs from the Shangshu to the directors, and many of them have multiple jobs. job.

The director of their Supervision Department is directly and concurrently served by the right deputy director of the Imperial Examination Department...

In this regard, Zhang Zijin has initially understood why the Great Chu Empire gave official hats so generously...

There is no shortage of official hats in the Great Chu Empire, but people who can be officials, especially those who can serve as middle and senior officials.

At the same time, I also understood why the above directly asked him to be in charge of the formulation of various regulations for the imperial examination affairs this time.

Because the Ministry of Ethics and Education simply couldn't find other people to take charge of this matter. Since Zhang Zijin started the work, the higher-ups simply let him take charge of it to the end.

Ever since, Zhang Zijin devoted himself to the study of the official imperial examination system with excitement and apprehension, and sometimes he would forget to eat lunch when he was busy.

Not only him, but Li Huan, who works in the same office as him, is also very busy.

Li Huan is also in charge of Enke's affairs this time, mainly responsible for some venues and personnel arrangements.

It would be more troublesome if it involved people, and many of them would need Mr. Li to run in person.

He goes out to work every day, even if he is young and in good health, he is still exhausted.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Zijin, who was immersed in writing documents in the office, heard footsteps, immediately looked up, and saw Master Li: "Master Li, are you out of the office again?"

Li Huan said weakly: "That's right, I made an agreement with the Patrol Department yesterday. In addition to sending additional patrols in the city during the exam, at least 150 patrols will be dispatched to the exam room to maintain order!"

"But in the morning, I heard that the police department dispatched a group of patrol officers from Hanyang City and said they were going to patrol and garrison the factory area in the northern suburbs. Now there are so many yamen in Hanyang City that patrol officers are sent to watch, and there are also police officers on the streets. They have to patrol to prevent bad guys."

"Originally, there were not enough patrol officers, and a batch of them will be stationed in the northern suburbs. Then there will be fewer patrol officers in the city. I was afraid that something would happen if there were not enough patrol officers, so I went to the patrol department again!"

"That's why they agreed to temporarily dispatch a group of patrol officers from several other places in advance to deal with the emergency. They shouldn't miss the test at that time!"

Having said that, Li Huan looked at Zhang Zijin, and couldn't help sighing: "Master Zhang, how are you? You can stay in the office every day without the wind blowing or raining, so you don't have to suffer!"

Zhang Zijin also put down his pen at this time, picked up his teacup and got up, and said as he got up, "What's the matter, I'm just chewing on the pen, I seem to be free, but I don't have much credit, and I don't know many people Ah, unlike Mr. Li, you are running outside every day, and you have met a lot of people in the past few days!"

Hearing this, Li Huan immediately showed a smile: "Don't tell me, I'm a little tired these days, but I really saw a lot of important people. When I went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday morning, I still saw you." Guo Shangshu, he even talked to me."

After hearing this, Zhang Zijin remained silent...

In fact, I just flattered you, you are really showing off... I have to show His Majesty the regulations for the imperial examination. Did I show off?

However, the relationship between colleagues still needs to be maintained, so Zhang Zijin didn't show anything.

Li Huan on the side also seemed to feel that his words were not quite right, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you heard of it? There is news that when Dengji Enke is finished, we inspectors will go to various counties The local inspector."

　In the future, the manuscripts will be updated regularly, and I will change to one chapter at 06:30 in the morning and one chapter at 11:30 at noon, so that everyone can see the update in the morning.

　　Of course, this is the case when there is a manuscript saved. If there is no manuscript saved, when will it be written and when will it be updated!
