The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 90 Fresh Fish Entering Beijing
A group of people left the barracks, only walked a dozen steps, someone stopped, and everyone stopped, looking back at the barracks.

"Woooooo."

The cry of one person brought many people to choke up.

Gao Zhen knew the crying man, and had great hatred with the barbarians, but because of her disability, she was eliminated by the officials.

He was one of the few people in this group who was unwilling to leave the camp and was forced to leave the camp.

After another half day, they were enthroned in the yamen, and all their original military badges were handed in before they left the camp.

Finally out of the yamen, Gao Zhen and Ma Lin clasped their hands and went back to their respective homes.

Gao Zhen's hometown used to be outside Chengzitan City, on the front line of the confrontation between Jinzhou and Fuzhou. As early as when the general abandoned Fuzhou, the whole family moved to Jinzhou.

When I arrived in Jinzhou, I didn't go to the island, because I was a member of the army, so I arranged to live in Qingniwa, and farmed in Sanfang.

Gao Zhen has only been here a few times, and she used to come back with fellow soldiers in the army, but now she is alone, so she can't even recognize her way.

I asked a few people, but before I could ask clearly, I saw a group of children running around and playing, naked and naked.

Pushing the buttocks inside, it seems that there are two of my own.

"Big dog, two dogs."

With a tentative cry, the two children turned around, but they were both stunned.

"Who are you."

"I am your father"

"You donkey called a dog."

Hearing the words, the fart kid thought that the other party was taking advantage of him, and yelled at him. He was scolding vigorously, but was slapped by his brother.
"Father, why are you back?"

It turned out to be really dad.

The two children ran out, their bare buttocks dangling between each other, Gao Zhen with a dark face and helpless, took one by the side.

"How is Azu at home, how about your mother?"

"Azu is not good. He is sick. Mother and the others are all at my aunt's house, weaving fishing nets."

"Did you invite the doctor?"

When Gao Zhen heard that her father was sick, she started to walk faster. The two children looked eagerly at the ambition on Lao Tzu's shoulders, and trotted to keep up with expectations.

Gao Zhen was late in marrying a daughter-in-law, and only in her early 30s did she save enough money to marry her mother-in-law.

But he is not bad, there are many bachelors in the army.

They are all men who fight, and most of them can't keep money in their hands.

The house was a two-and-a-half-room house built of earth bricks, with a fence surrounding it. When I saw my father, I wanted to invite a doctor, but my father refused to do so, and instead yelled at me.

Gao Zhen was helpless, and when she was persuading her, the officials from Weili came, and hurriedly invited everyone to sit down, comforted Gao Zhen, and left without drinking tea.

In the evening, Gao Zhen's daughter-in-law came back with a group of women, and went home separately.

Gao Zhen's daughter-in-law is a woman with bound feet, dark complexion, emaciated body, and taciturn. Although she is full of joy when her husband returns home, she has no words.

Silently went to the kitchen to sweep the fire and cook. Gao Zhen saw that there was not much firewood at home, so she went to find a machete and sharpened it with a whetstone, preparing to chop firewood tomorrow.

During the meal, all the rice grains were served to Gao Zhen. Gao Zhen scolded her daughter-in-law a few words before she wanted to share some with the old father, but the old father ignored her when he picked up the bowl.

Reluctantly, I had to divide them up into two boys, and there was a baby with a snotty nose, who was holding a wooden bowl and kept looking at Gao Zhen.

Gao Zhen's daughter-in-law didn't say a word when she was scolded, she silently drank the soup in the bowl.

In the evening, when the children were asleep, Gao Zhen said that she would go to the Yamen to report in three days, take a boat to Pinghu Island, and would not be able to return for a long time.

It is said that Gao Zhen's wife has no unnecessary complaints, her husband has always been like this.

It's just that Gao Zhen's daughter-in-law couldn't help but speak about her husband's choice.

"I've heard people say that the best thing to do is to go to the fishing ground to do something."

Gao Zhen didn't bother to pay attention.

He had been a soldier for half his life, and he was afraid of drifting away, but now he wanted to be more stable, and being a craftsman was just what he wanted.

And who knows what it is to go to sea.

He is a little afraid of the sea.

After a few days, a group of people rolled their names at the yamen, built a boat and arrived at Pinghu Island. The island is not big, but workshops have been built everywhere.

At a glance, there were no less than two to three thousand people.

Moreover, there were quite a few ships staying at the pier, and after only half a day's work, I saw two new ships docking.

Not only did a lot of materials come down, but also many craftsmen came down with the ship.

In the end, Gao Zhen was assigned to the shipwright. Although she had no skills, she became a first-class apprentice relying on her original status as a soldier.

With the recovery and stability of Jinzhou, the route from Denglai to Jinzhou became more and more lively, and soon returned to its previous scale.

And a ship full of fresh fish also docked in the name of the emperor.

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Several of the Jinshi who were admitted to the imperial examination last year came here to observe politics.

It's a good place to go.

Needless to say, the top three are basically assigned to the Imperial Academy as editors, or become Shujishi, which is the process of raising qualifications.

The starting point is high, and the end point is to enter the cabinet and control the general situation of the country.

The second class is to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you can become a censor, you will have a bright future.

The censor was sent to a local government to do business, and when he had enough qualifications, someone promoted him, and finally served as the governor and became a member of the party.

Waiting again is to go to the six ministries to observe politics, which belongs to the middle way out. Not only do you have to do a lot of things, but your status is low, but your grades can be improved quickly, and you can get high if you are released.

The last ones are directly assigned to various counties as magistrates, etc. The upper limit is basically restricted, and in the future there will be at most one magistrate.

He didn't know how many officials there were until he arrived in the capital. Han Hao had long lost the vigor he had when he was admitted to the imperial examination last year.

After leaving the yamen, I invited Tongnian to a restaurant for dinner.

Today he received fifty catties of fresh fish from Jinzhou. Although it was not a big gift, he was very satisfied with the kindness of these thousands of miles.

And it was given by General Tang, which can add a little bit of face.

Three or five people have already arrived. Except for him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the rest are in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

From this point of view, he had the highest status. Several people were chatting and laughing, another person came in, and several people stood up to greet him.

"Offend, offend, I'm late."

"Brother Zhongheng is in the Hanlin Academy. There are strict rules there, we all know that, please take a seat."

In the past at Youtunwei, Han Hao had always shown others with a cold face, but in fact he had lofty aspirations. No one in the area was worthy of his warm face, and he didn't want to waste energy on it.

Now that he has entered the right path, he has changed into a different person, kindly pulling the newcomer to take the lead.

The man gave in a bit, but couldn't resist everyone's kindness, so he could only smile wryly, and sat down first.

Everyone chatted, but one person complained.

It turned out that he was assigned to work in the Ministry of Households in the same year. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Households, as one of the six departments, belonged to a powerful yamen.

However, the household department has a heavy workload, such as money, food, taxation, and various financial affairs, and the work is very busy.

The new Jinshi is only a seventh-rank official, assigned to the household department, and can only do the trivial things below.

The lack of food and money is even more so every year. After this, the promotion speed of the household department is much slower than that of other departments.

In addition, there is some overlap between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and there is no difference between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry.

In this way, the last thing Jinshi people want to go to is the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the distribution cannot be decided by themselves.

"During this busy farming season, the yamen has to send people to various places to calculate grain production and estimate this year's taxes. I am unlucky and arranged for me to go to Shaanxi."

After everyone tried to persuade them, Lu Zhongheng said with a smile.

"Brother Yun Cheng, you don't want to suffer in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so you might as well let him go out as soon as possible, and become a county magistrate in a local area, and become a parent official, wouldn't it be fulfilling your wish."

The man heard the words, but smiled and did not answer.

As the saying goes, the Beijing official ranks three, and it is said that the Beijing official is promoted quickly. Even if he wants to be released, he has to raise enough qualifications and improve his grade.

In this way, external release is the magistrate.

If you now choose to release to become the magistrate, you may have no hope of leaving the magistrate for the rest of your life.

The relationship between everyone is very good, you point at me, I point at you, and there is not much concealment in speaking.

"What kind of fish is this? I haven't seen it before."

Some people deliberately exaggerate.

Han Hao was itchy, and finally someone mentioned it, so he laughed and said, "This is a fish sent by General Tang of Jinzhou. It is said that this sea fish has no spines, and it is only poured with vinegar. It is tender and delicate."

General Tang of Jinzhou.

With just a few words, everyone will know who he is referring to. In fact, this person is so famous now that everyone in the capital knows him.

It is said that there are even folk songs and eulogies.

"So Brother Han has something to do with General Tang?"

"General Tang used to be from a hundred households in Youtunwei, and I was born in Youtunwei, so we knew each other early on."

Everyone was stunned.

"Now I have sent some fresh fish to my family. One is that I have no relatives in the capital, and the other is that fresh fish cannot be stored for a long time. If you brothers don't mind, I will send one or two back."

"it is good."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. Although the things are not expensive, they are relatively new after all, and they can be sold well if they are sent back to the officer.

"This General Tang is rising fast."

"Extremely, but this person is a great talent and a person who has turned the tide, otherwise Liaozuo would have fallen into the hands of the barbarians."

"Although Jinzhou is only a corner of Liaozuo, it can make the barbarians feel like a thorn in their throats. In the end, it is also involved in one or two, and it is shared by Beizhen."

Although a few of them are only Jinshi, they observe politics in various ministries and have an overview of the overall situation. Their vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.

So there is something to be said, and after some evaluation, it is not far from the truth.

"Brother Han, since you have something to do with this person, you should take care of him more."

Lu Zhongheng's words made Han Hao stunned.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Zhongheng explained with a smile.

"This person is indeed talented, able to make meritorious deeds, and he has made great contributions. How many people have shared a part or two of the credit for him.

Regardless of the other side, it is said that Suguan, who participated in politics in Shandong, only relied on supporting the general, and some credits were mentioned in the memorial, and some people in the DPRK were pushing and fueling the flames, and he was determined to be promoted to the right minister of Shandong. "

When everyone heard the words, their eyes became hot.

The political envoys of one place, even the right chief envoys, have already started as second-rank civil servants. Among them, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to survive in their entire lives.

Among them, only Lu Zhongheng was able to rise to this level without any accidents, but it was more than ten years later.

In addition, there is still hope, that is, Han Hao, if his official career goes well and someone is promoted, he will have some chances.

The rest are impossible, unless they make great contributions and are promoted by leapfrogging.

After being instructed by Lu Zhongheng, Han Hao finally came to his senses.

Several people were joking.

Aunt Xue met Chen Deyan.

This time, Aunt Xue let Chen Deyan into the house without speaking outside the corridor.

Chen Deyan kowtowed, and when he got up, he saw Aunt Xue, and saw that she looked better than in Jinling, which showed that his choice of coming to Beijing was not wrong.

"Then it's fine for Brother An to leave, and he took you away too. I've been reluctant to let go for a long time."

Aunt Xue said regretfully.

When Chen Deyan heard the words, he didn't take them to heart, they were just polite words.
