Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 140 140 New Classic History

Wu Wei still sent someone to ask Wang Buli when he would come on duty.

After all, he is now promoted.

Moreover, Song Dianshi had to see him off before he left, and the two sides had to hand over things.

While you're happy, let's set up a table tonight or something. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it.

Wang Buli had long known that he would become a Dianshi.

Therefore, listening to Wen Ke's message at this time, he also felt that he should not be absent from work too much.

To prevent his "old father-in-law" from being displeased, he had to put on a show.

"Now that I'm done with the things at hand, I'll go on duty tomorrow. When you get off duty today, I'll be waiting for you at Xilaiju."

Shengchunlou and Song Dianshi are probably not affordable, but the restaurants they hire are not too shabby either.

"Wen Ke, you have been with me for the longest time. I went to be a pianshi. The position of the pian of the execution room is yours, and I don't trust anyone else."

In front of Jiang Huan, Wang Buli naturally wanted to arrange his tail.

Whether in terms of loyalty or qualifications, Wen Ke is the first choice.

"Uncle, I've only been with you for a long time, and I haven't learned much about your skills. How can I be on my own? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

Although Wen Ke looked extremely happy, he still said some unintentional words.

He was a scribe who was paid to work in the county government. After becoming a pian, he could get grain from the court as a salary.

"Whatever you're afraid of not doing well, you've done quite well during my absence. You won't just be a petty official for the rest of your life."

Wen Ke was very pleased with the cakes Wang Buli painted for him.

He believed that Wang Buli would never be just a county official. He held his thigh tightly, how could he not make progress?

"I have already established rules in our torture room. Once I get promoted, I will naturally have someone with the ability and qualifications to serve as the master of the execution room. Can anyone else compare with you?"

Hearing Wang Buli's rhetorical question, Wen Ke suppressed his excitement:

"Brother, in terms of familiarity with the Ming Dynasty Law, who in the entire county government can be better than me except eldest brother? I will definitely work hard!"

"Well, that's right."

Wang Buli poured him a cup of tea, and Wen Ke immediately picked it up, bowed to Wang Buli, and took another sip.

Jiang Huan also clearly understood the rules set by Wang Buli in the execution room.

This is the first thing to learn after entering the torture chamber.

Wen Ke is the senior scribe of the torture chamber, and he has many privileges compared to lower-level scribes.

In addition to performing the duties of the pian Wang Buli when he took leave of absence, he would also be temporarily responsible for all the affairs of the prison when the position of pian of the execution room became vacant.

This status and authority were extremely critical in resolving disputes between scribes who were ranked lower.

After Wen Ke takes office, he will designate one person as a senior scribe to serve as his (deputy) b (hand).

Of course, in addition to having authority, becoming a magistrate also requires dedication.

The pian was required to pay a fixed fee in advance for the daily operation of the execution chamber and the repair of the office space.

Zhu Yuanzhang refused to provide office funds, so Wang Buli himself contributed some money to carry out the work.

After all, he was the only one in the whole torture room who could consume Daming wool and receive Lumi, so he had to pay for it.

Wang Buli's slightly fair and dedicated approach can also promote the work efficiency of scribes.

Therefore, the scribes under Wang Buli looked down upon the other scribes.

Comparing your head with ours, it’s really not good!

They won't even pay this amount, and they ask you for benefits.

"Sit here for a while and then go to the banquet with me later, so that no one will miss you.

I made my attitude clear tonight and it was finalized by the way. "

Because the clerk of each house is not the only scribe who can serve as the clerk of your own place.

The other five clerks can also compete to work as pawnbrokers in your torture chamber.

Similarly, your prison clerk can also compete in other rooms.

"Thank you, brother."

Wen Ke sat aside happily.

"Jiang Huan, I know you are very skilled. Please come with me to the banquet later. Dian Shi also needs to have a deputy by his side to help me control the third squad of yamen and the inspection department."

There were no county captains in the Ming Dynasty, so Dian Shi did this part-time job.

"Yes."

Jiang Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was ordered to monitor Wang Buli and at the same time be responsible for protecting his safety.

If you stay in the torture room all day, it will definitely not work.

After it was estimated that the people in the county government were about to go off duty, Wang Buli took the two of them to the banquet from home.

Song Dianshi's whole face was radiant.

How can you not be happy when you get promoted?

The most important thing is that he, a county magistrate who was promoted from a ninth-rank official to an eighth-rank county official, had the opportunity to obtain an imperial edict. He believed that this was the blessing he had earned over several lifetimes.

It's the only one in the world.

Moreover, Jurong County is now considered a "Beijing County", after all, it is less than a hundred miles away from the capital.

Therefore, Song Dianshi became more enthusiastic after seeing Wang Buli's arrival.

If it weren't for this little brother in front of me, when would I be promoted?

"Brother Wang, I won't say anything unnecessary. I have to have a few drinks with you later."

"Congratulations to Brother Song."

"Hahaha, we are happy together. When you get married, you will have to give me a letter."

"That's natural. When the time comes, our brothers who get along well will naturally be invited by me."

Song Dianshi smiled and asked Wang Buli to go to the private room upstairs. He also wanted to welcome Wuzhi County below.

When he entered the room, there were actually three tables set up inside with just the two people Wang Buli brought.

Wang Buli didn't have to wait too long, and all the heads of the county government arrived.

The county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, the five-room dean, the head of the third shift, the prison head, the county government's teaching edict, and the heads of the eight inspection departments.

Lao Zhu established many inspection departments, and it was not until the 13th year of Hongwu that a large number of them were abolished and restricted to two or three under the jurisdiction of one county.

When everyone gathered together, it was obvious that the boss, Wu Zhixian, would be the first to speak. Everyone agreed, and then took turns to toast.

Wuzhi County was not a battle-hardened leader, so he immediately gave up his home court. Today was Song Dianshi's promotion banquet.

It can be said that this is the great event of his life, and it must not steal the limelight.

"From today on, I will be called Song County Cheng."

Wuzhixian patted Song Dianshi on the shoulder and laughed, and the iron chain also rattled.

After such a long period of training, Wuzhixian's wrist strength has grown rapidly.

In the past, it was difficult to lift the shackles on my wrists, but now I don’t delay doing exercises on the bed.

Then everyone came forward to drink with Song County Magistrate.

Wu Wei then pulled away and followed Wang Buli to sit at another table to eat vegetables.

"Your boy's requirements are so low?"

"How does Wuzhi County know?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid you hate getting up earlier than the chickens every day to go to court!"

Wu Wei also knows his subordinates well.

It's really a little more work, and I don't want to do it, so I just want to use my brain.

After Wang Buli wrote an example, he handed all the trivial files to the scribes, euphemistically saying that he would train them and let them grow up as quickly as possible.

Now it seems that he has indeed trained a group of useful officials.

"Wu Zhixian, be careful what you say."

Wang Buli shook his head seriously: "His Royal Highness, seeing that I am young, how can I suddenly ascend to a high position? It is better to work hard at the grassroots level for a few more years, so that I can better serve the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Wu Wei nodded. Young people are prone to hostility if their foundation is unstable.

Isn't that what Yang Xian is like?

It just so happens that I am still a bit stubborn.

Moreover, Wang Buli was the first civilian prince-in-law in the Ming Dynasty before this, and I don’t know how many people are thinking about him.

Too many things are done and many mistakes are made.

He is not a fool, so it is obvious that he is being targeted.

Although today's people are in power, there are so many people in the officialdom, how can he take care of everything.

"I want to promote my man Wen Ke to be the new jailer. I hope Mr. Wu can provide convenience."

"It's a trivial matter." Wu Wei laughed a few times: "I am the person in your room, how can you tell me that I can make the decision myself?"

"Wuzhi County still needs to know about this matter. How can we make the decision privately?"

"Haha, who can help but respect your reputation as a prince-in-law? Not to mention that in terms of familiarity with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid no one can compare to the people you brought out."

Wu Wei was very satisfied with Wang Buli's words.

Especially this kind of attitude of asking for instructions.

This proves that Wang Buli is still not floating and does not recognize him as his old boss. In this way, everyone can still have a happy time getting along with each other in the county government in the future.

Because in Wu Wei's view, some people will become judgmental after suddenly reaching a high position.

The boss who promoted him in the past also wanted to step on him, wishing he could step on everyone else and feel proud.

Fortunately, Wang Buli is still the same Wang Buli as before. He did not become arrogant just because the emperor granted him a marriage and became the consort. He is still the same person Wu Wei knew.

Wuzhi County came to talk, and the county magistrate and the chief registrar also talked with Wang Buli.

After all, he is different now.

Even though Wang Buli is a county official history, it is also a valuable history.

The only one in the world.

Who can be better than the emperor's son-in-law!

Moreover, Wang Buli married his eldest daughter. I really don’t know what the emperor was thinking.

For Wang Buli, there is nothing but envy.

As for jealousy and hatred, it can only be hidden in the heart.

Because the gap between everyone is too big, this huge wheel of opportunity cannot reach them.

What's the use of jealousy?

It's better to handle the relationship with Wang Buli, and he might be able to help him in the future.

They all believed that Wang Buli would not stay in Dianshi's position for too long.

Who hasn’t been looking forward to progress day and night after spending a long time in the officialdom?

Can a minister who doesn't want to be the prime minister be a good minister?

The county magistrate and the chief registrar also want to climb up the ranks!

The opportunity is now.

It didn't take long for the object of the toast to change.

Wang Buli never refused anyone who came, and gave everyone enough face.

The fourth in command of the county government, appointed by the emperor, Wang Buli can now be called a court official.

Look at the two people following Wang Buli. They are really one person who has achieved enlightenment. Chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven.

At this time, if I don’t hug Wang Buli’s thigh and bring the relationship between the two parties into the relationship, how long will it take?

Especially the third shift leader, cell leader, inspection department, household room, and barracks who all worked under him.

Although the magistrate is the commander of the county, the county chief registrar also has specific responsibilities, and the dianshi will also assist in management.

In other words, the current history of classics and history has nothing to do with it. It is an extremely busy job, otherwise the monthly salary would not be as high as three stones per month.

After everyone was drunk and staggering, they dispersed.

Jiang Huan personally escorted Wang Buli back.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in the capital is generally good, and the ogre has not committed a crime for a long time.

Maybe it was because there was too much noise last time, or maybe I haven't picked a suitable target this time.

The next day, Wang Buli finally returned to the county government office after a long absence.

It's just that this time the place to stay has changed. It is no longer a small torture chamber, but has its own office.

However, he still came to the execution room first and announced the promotion of Wen Ke to the execution master. Naturally, there was no objection.

As the old people in Wang Buli's room, they were naturally labeled as Wang Buli's group.

Now Wang Buli has become the emperor's son-in-law. After being promoted, he continues to work in the Jiangning County government, which is of great benefit to them.

After finishing the appointment matters, Wang Buli asked Jiang Huan to take his things and enter the Dianshi Yamen.

He looked around first. He had to say that the county government office in the capital was quite large. To his right was the main hall of the magistrate. There was a courtyard wall in the middle. If he wanted to get in, he had to go around the courtyard gate. .

And it is extremely convenient to enter the cell.

On the left and right sides are the people from the arresting class and the strong class. The people from the standing class are the people who stand on both sides when the magistrate is trying the case, saying they are powerful, and practicing hitting the board at the same time.

Wang Buli looked at the roster. His Dianshi was the embodiment of the Ming Dynasty's power over the countryside.

The imperial court stipulated that state and county officials were not allowed to go to the countryside, so Dian Shi had to travel on his behalf.

Therefore, rural people often fear classics and history more than the county magistrate.

Song Dianshi also came to hand over the affairs and told Wang Buli some of his experiences as a pianshi.

"Some of the farmers who were plowing the fields knew me, Master Dianshi, and they quickly threw away their hoes and rake and kowtowed to him."

"If we go to the village to arrest someone, the people in the village will catch me personally. They don't know what a big deal it is, and they are afraid of getting angry."

"This is exactly the land protection, township agreement, and policy of the four townships and eight villages. Who dares to bully me?"

"Who among the people of Jiangning County would dare to flatter you!"

Wang Buli responded repeatedly. Since ancient times, imperial power has not been sent to the countryside, and county officials have to rely on their subordinates to control local areas.

County magistrates and chief registrars rarely went to the countryside. As the lowest level official of the imperial court, they were the incarnation of the power of the Tu emperor.

"There are many waterways in Jiangning County, so Zhou County Cheng is mainly in charge of water conservancy, river affairs, and salt and fishery taxes.

Chief Secretary Gao is in charge of the accounting of taxes submitted by rural people and the construction of rural schools. "

Song Dianshi pointed to his nose and said: "We are the most complicated. First of all, the inn that His Majesty attaches most importance to is also under our control.

Yi Cheng comes to report his work once a month. Brother, you need to pay attention to this matter. After all, there are many powerful people under the capital, and they can easily bully others.

There are also litigation matters such as treasury management, theft, private slaughter, private trafficking, prostitution, household marriage, return to the land, etc., which are also under our control.

At the same time, he is also responsible for collecting taxes from street vendors and responsible for city defense.

County training (medicine), county training (yin and yang studies), county monks association (Sengzhengsi association), county Dao association (doshengsi association), these people are registered in the official register.

The court does not give them salaries. It is up to them to make a living by their own means, but they must also accept the assessment of the government. You cannot let them be deceived. "

Wang Buli knows that these people are specialized technical personnel. If the government wants to recruit you to do work, you have to give your professional skills for free.

For example, if someone from the yamen is injured on duty, a doctor will come to treat him.

If someone dies in the line of duty, the Yin Yang practitioner should find a good cemetery for him.

The monks and Taoists will also gather together to hold a simple water and land meeting to pray for the deceased.

Wang Buli's father is the registered person.

On the surface, Dianshi has the responsibility of supervising them, as well as assessing rewards and punishments.

But as long as these people don't make any major mistakes in their respective businesses, you won't be punished.

Once these people have deficiencies in reputation and morality, deceive the villagers, or steal other people's wives while doing things, and the news reaches the ears of the classics, they must be severely beaten.

Especially those who set up fortune-telling stalls. If you dare not come to the county office to register and tell fortune-telling privately, you must be arrested and sent to jail.

Lao Zhu has determined that many sects are illegal cults and must be eradicated.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want anyone to spread the prophecy that one eye in the Modaohe River would stir up rebellion in the world.

Song Dianshi knew that Wang Buli was a smart man. Seeing him nodding, he continued:

"Most of the people in the Inspection Department are transferred soldiers. Their former generals may have been marquises, count generals or the like."

"I know that they are mainly responsible for interrogating spies, prisoners selling illegal salt, deserters, fugitives, no leads, and people who are suspicious."

Wang Buli understood that Lao Zhu established so many inspection departments in order to control the flow of people and not allow them to become refugees like those in the late Yuan Dynasty, which was not conducive to his rule.

Zhu Yuanzhang wished that the Ming Dynasty was like a pool of stagnant water, and that would be a good thing.

Of course, the Inspection Department is mainly responsible for military functions and does not have too many responsibilities for civil affairs, otherwise there would be no archers.

Wang Buli was very wary of the people behind the Inspection Department, because the road guide bought by Greyhound Yang Jinshui in the counterfeit banknote case was sold to them privately by people from the Inspection Department.

Wang Buli did not overextend himself in the counterfeit banknote case. He didn't know whether Lao Zhu had noticed it or was completely carried away by Yang Man's incident and did not pay attention to the details.

In short, the inspection department who secretly sold the desperado Lu Yin did not seem to have been punished.

Wang Buli will not hold on to this matter.

To be honest, he is not Lao Zhu's loyal minister, so there is no need to do such a thankless thing.

Which one of those working at the grassroots level turns a blind eye?

Wang Buli poured Song Dianshi a cup of herbal tea to relieve his fatigue.

I drank a lot yesterday and was still a little dazed today. I still got up early to meet Wang Buli.

"After talking about the outside, let's talk about the Yamen, you have also seen this roster.

I have to take away a disciple, and you can recruit a caring one yourself.

There are twenty arrests and fifty strong people.

One lampman, four warehousemen, and four warehousemen.

Twelve jailers.

Of course there are grooms, but since we don’t have money to keep horses, we don’t need them. "

Dian Shi wants to go to the countryside to catch thieves, so he can match the horse.

"With your status, raising a horse is more than enough."

Wang Buli is not very good at riding a horse yet, and he needs to raise a big horse from the north. However, Lao Zhu, the army horse, has strict control, and Wang Buli doesn't want to ride a horse to do work.

You can deal with it, but with a salary of only three stones a month, what are you trying to do with your life?

Not worth it at all.

Although he has become Lao Zhu's son-in-law, Wang Buli's inherent impression of Lao Zhu has not changed at all, and he is very afraid of his merciless killing.
