Jinxian Guan was the former official post house. Local officials who came to Jingzhao on business trips stayed here. However, there were three such post houses in Jingzhao, so this post was specially used to house officials who came to Lin'an to find jobs.
The conditions are not bad, three people live in a small private courtyard, each person has a room, all the utensils are complete, there is a special canteen, which serves three meals a day, the food is also very good, there is meat for every meal, and the most important thing is that it does not cost a penny.
Pay it yourself.
Wu Fu and Liu Xuan lived in a small courtyard. The man who lived next door to them was named Huang Yougong. He was from Ezhou and was also a Jinshi in the second year of Shaoxing. Wu Fu knew this man. He once served as the county magistrate of Qianjiang County. His grandfather passed away last year, and Ding You resigned.
I didn't expect him to come to Jingzhao to apply for a job.
Huang Yougong is thirty years old this year. He has been a local official for several years and is obviously much more mature than the two of them. Before it was time to eat, Huang Yougong came to see Wu Fu.
"Brother Wu Xian, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We made an appointment to go to Bai Feng Lin for a drink. I heard that the oiran from Jingzhao was born in Bai Feng Lin. Let's go together!"
Wu Fu wanted to agree, but when she heard his last words, she hesitated, "I'm going to drink flower wine as soon as I come to Jingzhao, in case..."
"I said you are not a three-year-old child, let alone a student back then. An adult who is almost thirty years old is still afraid of drinking wine? In Lin'an, who cares about you!"
Wu Fu still didn't want to go, so she excused herself: "I just arrived in Jingzhao. I'm so tired from walking all the way. I have a big blood blister on the sole of my foot. I want to take a good rest. Let's talk about it later!"
At this time, someone outside was shouting to Huang Yougong, and Huang Yougong could only say angrily: "Forget it if you don't go, just rest early!"
He agreed loudly, and several people left talking and laughing.
……….
Early the next morning, Jiang Yanxian came to Chen Qing's official room and placed a stack of materials on Chen Qing's table. "This is the second batch of Song Dynasty officials who came to Jingzhao to apply for jobs. There are seventeen people, plus the first batch of thirty-four people."
, a total of fifty-one people.”
Chen Qing flipped through his resume and said with a smile: "It seems they are all unsuccessful officials!"
"Your Highness is right. They are basically unemployed officials from Lin'an. It's not because they are incompetent, but more because they made mistakes in their positions. For example, Li Gang's subordinates, Lu Yihao's subordinates, Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding's subordinates, basically
There are also many people who are in the state of being dismissed from office and demoted, and there are also some candidates who have not received the actual vacancy after passing the Jinshi examination."
Chen Qing fully understood that the Song Dynasty was famous for party strife. Basically, when a prime minister lost power, the officials he promoted would basically be demoted. Now Qin Hui has the most party members in the court, followed by Xu Xiantu, and then the Queen Mother
Two of the three major factions were the main and surrender factions, so the various armistice agreements between the Song and Jin Dynasties were signed so happily, and more than a dozen states in the Central Plains that had just been recovered were given up.
"A heavyweight official or Orihiko is holding hostage alone?"
"If you count Lu Datong, there are two of them."
Chen Qing shook his head, "Forget it Lu Datong, just let Zheyan hostage one person!"
Because Zheyanzhi firmly opposed Yue Fei's withdrawal, he angered the emperor Zhao Gou, dismissed him from office and devalued him, and moved his family to Xinzhou. In anger, Zheyanzhi did not go to Xinzhou, but took his family directly to Xinzhou by boat.
Chengdu, and from Chengdu to Jingzhao.
At this time, Chen Qing flipped through a resume. He was surprised to find that it was Shen Gai. Shen Gai was the legitimate son of the Shen family who proposed to Lu Xiu with Chen Qing. He was from a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, so how could he come to Sichuan and Shaanxi to find a job?
?
"He was implicated by Zhang Jun. He was dismissed from office last year and has been idle at home. Moreover, he has a letter of recommendation from Lu Yihao."
Chen Qing no longer had any ill feelings toward Shen Gai, who was fighting for women! He was the winner. Lu Xiu had already given birth to two children for him, so he no longer cared about what happened back then.
"Since I have Lu Yihao's recommendation, I will ask the Department of Personnel Affairs to follow up. Are there any of those people I named last time who came here?"
"have!"
Jiang Yan first took out two resumes and handed them to Chen Qing, "Zhao Wenxin and Wu Fu, these two are here."
Zhao Wenxin is the second son of Zhao Ding, the prime minister. He was appointed as the military supervisor. He passed the civil service examination every year. Just when he was about to be promoted, Zhao Ding was dismissed from the prime minister for the second time, and his son Zhao Wenxin was also demoted. Zhao Wenxin, the chief registrar of Longyan County, was extremely dissatisfied and resigned on the grounds of taking care of his father's health.
As for Wu Fu, he was the third Jinshi in the second year of Shaoxing. He had a strong sense of justice. He wrote to the emperor to criticize Prime Minister Qin Hui for monopolizing power and betraying the country. He was dismissed by the emperor. Chen Qing admired this courage and justice very much.
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "I will determine the positions of a few people, and the Department of Civil Affairs will consider the others. One is Zhe Yanzhi, I need to talk to him, and then Lu Datong. His situation is quite special, I will consider it. Let him serve as the governor of Fangzhou, but his family must stay in Jingzhao and are not allowed to follow him to take office."
"I understand. I will make it clear to Lu Datong."
Chen Qing nodded and said: "Then there is Shen Gai. I want to use this Shen family to establish contact with the Jiangnan family. I will have a talk with him and then appoint him as the general judge of Jingzhou."
Jiang Yan took notes first, and Chen Qing continued: "Zhao Wenxin is very capable. I want to appoint him as the deputy director of the Ordnance Department. Wu Fu is very suitable as the supervisor, so I appoint him as the supervisory inspector of the Third Department of the Supervision Department. There are only so many people who go to Sichuan Road to perform supervisory duties, and others will be assessed and arranged by the Department of Civil Affairs."
After a pause, Chen Qing continued: "If the official positions are not enough for a while, we should follow the old method and arrange for them to teach in various schools first, but the official residence and salary should not be low, so as not to chill their hearts, and agree to them that they will only teach temporarily. , once official positions appear, priority will be given to them."
"The humble post will make arrangements, please rest assured, Your Highness!"
Jiang Yanxian took out three more resumes and said: "There is one more thing about my humble position. According to feedback from the internal guards to the Supervision Department, several officials went to Bai Fenglin to drink wine yesterday. The Supervision Department has confirmed that this is the list of three people."
Jiang Yan first handed three resumes to Chen Qing. Chen Qing's face immediately darkened. Officials were strictly prohibited from drinking flower wine. Chen Qing did not order prostitution. All dynasties had strict control over it, especially during the Song and Ming dynasties. There is no ambiguity in his private life. Chen Qing never goes there himself, nor does he allow his officials to drink wine or visit brothels.
On the contrary, Chen Qing was very tolerant of the soldiers and encouraged the establishment of brothels near the military camps. This was the need to appease the morale of the soldiers.
"These three people are to be eliminated, refused to be hired, and are required to leave the Jinxian Hall within a time limit!"
"I understand."
Jiang Yan bowed first and hurried to make arrangements.
Chen Qing generally welcomes these officials who come to Lin'an to apply for jobs. On the one hand, it is a good talent reserve, and on the other hand, it also greatly improves his reputation. However, Chen Qing also has to consider the feelings of local officials. It cannot be said that foreign monks are good at chanting sutras. Maybe their abilities and virtues are not as good as those of local officials.
Therefore, Chen Qing considered sending these officials to other places, such as the northern part of Hedong Road or the Central Plains, so as not to affect the interests of local officials as much as possible.
At this time, Chao Qing reported at the door, "Your Highness, the Deputy Secretary of the Procuratorate ordered Zhang Yanming to bring an official named Shen Gai, saying that His Highness wants to have a talk with him."
Chen Qing nodded and smiled: "Invite him in!"
Not long after, Zhang Yanming walked in with a man about thirty years old. He was very thin and good-looking. Chen Qing recognized him at a glance. It was Shen Gai, his love rival back then.
Zhang Yanming handed Shen Gai's information to Chen Qing and stepped back. Shen Gai felt uneasy. Although his son had been four years old many years ago, he was still a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for many years, please sit down!"
Chen Qing's smile was gentle and not sarcastic at all, which made Shen Gai feel calmer.
"How are your father and mother?" Chen Qing asked with a smile.
It was time for Shen to remember that Chen Qing had met his parents and they seemed not to be happy with each other.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. They are all in good health."
Chen Qing nodded, "I heard that you were dismissed from office because you were implicated by Zhang Jun. Why?"
Shen Gai sighed and said: "In fact, my dismissal from office had little to do with Zhang Jun. It was because Li Qiong led his army to surrender to the enemy. The emperor was furious, and all the officials under Zhang Jun were implicated and dismissed. At that time, he was Marshal Bo. , so it is difficult to escape the disaster of dismissal."
Chen Qing summoned him just to ease the relationship between the two of them, to appease him, and then said: "I saw Lu Gong's recommendation letter, and he thinks highly of you. Just based on this letter, I am also important."
"Mr. Lu thinks too highly of a humble position."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Zhang Yanming has told you, right? About your appointment."
"Zhang Shuling has not mentioned his humble position yet."
Chen Qing smiled and said: "I plan to let you serve as the general magistrate of Jingzhou and promote you to the sixth rank Chengzhilang."
When Shen should be dismissed, he was still an official of the seventh rank. Unexpectedly, Chen Qing promoted himself to the rank of Chengzhilang, the sixth rank, and a general magistrate of a state. This was a very important official in vacancy. His father urged him to seek a job in Sichuan and Shaanxi. What a foresight!
Shen Gai was suddenly surprised and happy, and quickly stood up and saluted: "I am willing to serve His Highness in my humble position, and I will definitely be a good parent and official for the people of Jingzhou!"
