back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 321
It has been almost half a year since the last spring.Logically speaking, the number one scholar in Chunwei should be the one with the best treatment, either as a seventh-rank official or an eighth-rank Beijing official.But it is a pity that Su Shi, the champion of Enke this time, was not treated so well.Maybe Lu Chengqi wanted to hone him on purpose, and deliberately gave him the position of head of the Ministry of Punishment of the ninth rank.

Of course, as the No. [-] scholar, there are still certain privileges.As a rule, even if the official position is a little lower, the rank official still has the eighth rank.And the rank official given to Su Shi by the Ministry of Officials is Cheng Shilang, the eighth rank.

For Jinshi of the same subject, this is not bad, at least there is an official to do it.More Jinshi are actually led by a civil servant, and there is really a shortage of waiting.But Su Shi is the No. [-] pick. If he compares with Yang Hong, the second place in the list, he will be in the same place.

Yang Hong, who was the second in the list, was sent to Songjiang Mansion to be the county magistrate of the eighth rank, but as the number one scholar, he was only the master of the ninth rank.Although it is said that Beijing officials are better than local officials, it also depends on the level of rank.Beijing officials who are less than the fifth rank or above have no status in Chang'an City.Not to mention Su Shi, the unpopular head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

This matter became Hong Xiang's joke for three years.Fortunately, Su Shi's ability to self-regulate is good. He insisted on resisting the criticism of others and did his work extremely well, gradually showing the ability of a minister.This kind of work attitude of self-discipline has also conquered many colleagues, and gradually the criticism has lessened.

This day is the early court, according to rank, Su Shi is not qualified to go to the early court.Therefore, he set off for the Ministry of Punishment before Mao, preparing to go to work at Mao.Before reaching the Ministry of Punishment, he was stopped by the oncoming Xiao Huangmen.

This little yellow gate has met Su Shi, but Su Shi can't remember it.That day, I went to the Yuma Supervisor to select horses, which was the way led by the little yellow gate.On the way to Su Shi's house, the little Huangmen took two young eunuchs, and when they saw the Lord, they quickly stopped him: "Master Su, please stay!"

Su Shi stopped when he heard the words, looked at the eunuchs in the palace, and asked suspiciously: "Your father-in-law is looking for Zizhan?"

The little yellow gate was ordered to read the secret decree, and the little eunuch behind him was holding a heavy sword box, and said immediately: "Master Su, Your Majesty has an order for you. There are many people here, so go to your house first." , our family can declare the decree to you."

Su Shi was a little puzzled, and said, "Ke Zizhan has to go to the Ministry of Punishment to get a job!"

That little yellow family has seen many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but it is still rare to see such a simple and straightforward person without the slightest political scheming.I have to say clearly: "Master Su, His Majesty's oral order is related to your official career. The head of the Ministry of Punishment is just a stepping stone for you. You don't care what he does! Just rest assured, after the decree is announced, our family will go to the Ministry of Punishment to report on your behalf. Affection."

Xiao Huangmen has said so, if Su Shi insists on his own opinion, it will be unreasonable.Su Shi thought for a while, then said: "Elder-in-law, please come with me."

Along the way, Su Shi tentatively asked more than once what the little emperor gave him, so mysterious.But the little Huangmen kept Lu Chengqi's orders in mind, didn't reveal a word, just smiled mysteriously: "Master Su will know later."

Of course, Su Shi was already very happy to be remembered by the little emperor.He also thought that he would have to stay in the position of head of the criminal department for five or six years before he was eligible for promotion.Unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly, at this moment, the little emperor thought of himself.

Su Shi's home is in Xuanpingfang in Chang'an City, which is some distance away from the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, let alone the imperial palace.Fortunately, this little yellow gate has proclaimed a lot of decrees on weekdays, and the distance is not too short, so we can still persevere.

No way, in the previous dynasty, Chang'an City was not very big, it could only accommodate 30 households.After the founding of Dashun, Taizu ordered the expansion of Chang'an City to accommodate at least 50 households.As a result, the population of Chang'an City has risen sharply. According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, there are at least 52 households living in Chang'an City. Even if it is a family of three, there are more than 150 million people.It can be said that Chang'an City has now reached the limit of the population it can accommodate. If it wants to accommodate more people, it must expand to the surrounding area.

After walking for about a cup of tea, I finally arrived at Su Shi's home.Su Shi originally had no place to stay in Chang'an City, and he was assigned to this official residence only after he won the number one prize.If he is not top three, then I'm sorry, you can find a way by yourself.In addition to the official residences, the solutions to Dashun officials’ residences are bestowed by the emperor, built by themselves, purchased with money, rented from others, and borrowed from other people’s houses...

You are a new Jinshi, if you want the emperor to grant you a mansion, then don't even think about it.Throughout the Dashun court, those who can be honored by this are all those who have made great contributions to the court, such as the chief assistant of the cabinet Xu Chongguang, the former grand master Yang Daoqi, the privy envoy Jiang Yu, etc... Which one is not the first rank official?
Don't even think about the emperor bestowing it on you, and the official residence is not easy to live in.First of all, you have to be a top three in one subject and work in Beijing.If you don't work in Beijing, then you won't have your share in the official business.For example, Yang Hong, the second place in this subject, was released from the Jiangfu, so he no longer has his share in this official office.Of course, as an official and the second generation, his father Yang Daoqi has a big mansion bestowed by the late emperor, so why would he fall in love with this official?

Yang Hong doesn't like it, others care about it!There are not many official houses here, but they are welfare houses, which are only for the top three of the new division to live in, and they only have three years of residence rights. If the period expires, you have to find a way by yourself.After all, there are not many officials, and the imperial examination is held every three years.In the case of Enke, it is unknown how many top three scholars there will be in three years.

In the past three years, the official office has been regarded as a housing subsidy for you.As for the rest of Jinshi, those who have no official position will also have a monthly housing subsidy in their salary, which is considered humane after all.

This official house, as the property of the imperial court, will be repaired by craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry every three years for the next imperial examination Jinshi to live in.If no one lives there, the official house will be left unused.As for the Jinshi of the last subject, they can submit a written application to the Ministry of Household Affairs, explain their own difficulties, and live in as appropriate.On the one hand, the Dashun court is indeed more humane. Unlike the Ming Dynasty in the official history, there was a stingy Taizu, not to mention the salary, and the housing had to be settled by itself, and the official houses were not built. several.

And Xuanpingfang is where the official residence is located.Su Shi knocked on the official office assigned to him. Not long after, a young man who was almost the same age as Su Shi opened the door. Seeing Su Shi, he said in amazement: "Zizhan, didn't you go to order a job?"

He looked behind Su Shi again, and was startled: "Could it be that Zizhan committed something?"
