The highly pragmatic worker who sharpened his knife and chopped firewood was no joke. Three days later, he began to write.
He would not stop writing, but once he started writing, he could not stop writing. He stayed at his desk writing for half a month, still making the hospital his home. He even took baths in the Hanlin Academy, which can be said to be a waste of sleep and food.
Half a month later, he had completed all the tasks assigned to him. He spent another two days proofreading and the manuscript was completed.
After that, Gao Pragmatic began to fully exercise the authority of the editor-in-chief. While urging the editors to speed up the progress, he also acted as a reviewer to help them correct mistakes.
Of course, he was relaxed, civilized, and pragmatic, and he did not exploit them. He also ordered his family to send some late-night snacks every night, and to bring good ginseng tea and other items, all at his own expense.
Although Hanlin denounced Gao's pragmatism and strict requirements, he had to admit that this man was indeed generous. The rumors that he had a millionaire fortune seemed to be true.
In just one and a half months, the revised draft of the "Da Ming Huidian" was completed, breaking the previous record for the fastest revision. By the sixth day of July, Gao pragmatically handed over the manuscript to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
Reviewed by Chen Siyu, director of the college.
Chen Siyu was so surprised that he even asked twice, "Are you sure the manuscript has been completed?"
Gao pragmatically answered affirmatively, "The manuscript has indeed been completed and will be submitted to the Supreme Court for review."
Although Chen Siyu couldn't believe it, at this point, he could only accept the manuscript and review it himself.
This does not matter. In less than three months since Gao Pingshi took over as chief editor, he made a large number of corrections, additions and deletions to the previous draft of "Da Ming Huidian". If the framework had not been there, Chen Siyu would have almost
I think these are two completely different drafts.
In terms of details, this version of the "Daming Huidian" is also much more rigorous. At least Chen Siyu found more than a dozen mistakes-prone places. There are no mistakes in this draft. It not only explains in detail the changes and changes in the system.
Evolution, and even pointed out the reasons for these changes and evolutions concisely and concisely, which can be described as extremely skillful!
Although Chen Siyu has always had prejudices against Gao Pangshi, the direct descendant of the Practical Learning Sect, he has to admit that this son's rigorous scholarship and efficiency in work are actually the only person Chen Siyu has seen in his twenty-year official career.
.
In this case, let's submit the manuscript to the cabinet. The cabinet has urged it several times. Although it should be a routine urging, it cannot be ignored. It is better to submit it early than not to submit it late.
"He is worthy of being number one in the Sixth Prize, and he is indeed a prime minister."
This is the unanimous evaluation given by the three vice presidents of Huidian Compilation, Shen Shixing, Yu Youding and Xu Guo, after reviewing this draft.
On July 19, the "Da Ming Hui Dian" was presented to the emperor.
The next day, the emperor received a Zhu's approval: it could be promulgated and sent to Nanjing for archival purposes. Mr. Guo, the assistant minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and his assistant ministers were given two kilograms of fresh persimmons each for the compilation and editing of the canon.
The next day, the Ministry of Rites submitted the ceremonial annotations of the "Daming Huidian". On the first day, the table table was set up in the east of Danbi in the Huangji Hall, the writing table was set up in Danqi, the Baoyu Xiang Pavilion was set up, and the Zhonghe was set up in front of the History Museum.
Shao Le and Da Le are as usual.
Early that morning, Jin Yiwei set up a lu book drive, compiled official equipment, court clothes, held books, and placed them in a treasure trove.
The emperor was dressed in leather clothes and went to the Imperial Palace. Officials from Honglu Temple welcomed Baoyu, covered it with drums and music umbrellas, compiled and repaired the officials, followed Yao'er Bridge, walked to the left gate of Huangji Palace, entered Danqi, and Yuyu
He held the book and placed it on the case. After the music stopped, Baoyu retreated from the incense pavilion. The official of Honglu Temple played the deacon and the official saluted. After the performance, he invited the emperor to ascend to the palace. The conductor led the music.
In the Imperial Palace of the Emperor, all civil and military officials have their own service teams. They are happy to stop and blow their whips. The editors and editors are in the team and are happy to work.
The official of Honglu Temple praised: "Bow down four times!"
Praise: "Enter the book!" Music was written, the preface class held the calligraphy table and went to the middle road. He was promoted, and the chief officer was promoted to the left.
The preface class placed the calligraphy case in the hall and stopped happily. The leader of the class entered the east gate of the hall and came to the case and praised: "Kneel down!"
The editors and editors all knelt down, enjoyed the composition, and praised: "Prostrate yourself!"
The leader of the class was reset and praised: "Enter the table!" Musical composition.
The preface class raised the table and placed it in the hall, enjoying themselves.
Like: "Declaration!" Like: "Kneel down!"
Honglu Temple Exhibition, Announcement, Ended.
Praise: "Prostrate!", Xing, music.
Praise: "Four obeisances!" Prosperity, peace of mind, and happiness.
The preface class held up the table case and the writing case was placed slightly east of the hall. The clerks who entered and retired stood in the east class. All civil and military officials entered the class and bowed as usual.
Once the ceremony was completed, the "Da Ming Hui Dian" was officially promulgated to the world.
When Gao Jingshi and other editors returned to the Hanlin Academy, everyone was talking about it. They all thought that the speed and success of the compilation was really due to the talent of Gao Jingshi, the chief editor.
Previously, everyone thought that the origin of Gao Pingshi, the number one scholar in the Six Poems, was a little unfair. It was probably the emperor's concern for his accompanying readers. However, after this nearly three-month revision, the nobles of the Imperial Academy had nothing to say anymore.
, so they all thanked Gao pragmatically.
I have to thank you. After several years of compiling the code, it was successfully completed in less than three months after I arrived at the General Directorate of Gao Pragmatic Affairs. This is the credit of Qi Qi’s promotion to the next level. To put it bluntly, it’s free of charge.
It's worth it.
Gao Pangshi knew the inside story of this matter, so he did not take credit for it. Instead, he kept thanking his colleagues for their great help. In his words, it was 90% of the work that could be done by his colleagues, including other colleagues who had previously participated in the compilation.
Jiu's credit was actually that he was superior to someone and took advantage of everyone.
Originally, the old editors and editors who had been transferred were a little angry and resentful when they saw that the ceremony was compiled and published in three months. They always felt that they were the ones who worked hard to plant trees, but their descendants came to take advantage of it. Now I heard that Gao Gao
Having said this pragmatically, I somewhat relieved my anger.
Gao pragmatism also said that he could not repay the work of his seniors and colleagues, so he had no choice but to invite everyone to Wanglong Tower for a simple meal to express his gratitude.
Now everyone is even more happy. Although the Hanlin officials are noble, they do not have enough money. Of course, we are not people who rely on regular salaries. Our daily expenses mainly rely on allowances such as firewood, soap, silver, and Zhitang silver.
For example, Gao Wuzhen is now a sixth-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, and his monthly salary is eight stones. However, these eight stones have never been given to him since the Hongwu period. They are all discounted. In fact, he is actually paid
Li, that is, one stone of rice per month, more than two taels of silver, and a few rags and rags. Gao is very pragmatic. He has never received his regular salary until now.
But with this little money, the Ministry of Revenue, which had been short of money in the past few years, often withheld it, defaulted on it, or even refused to pay it. Later in Ming history, it was said that "official salaries have never been as thin as this since ancient times."
In fact, this is not entirely correct, because in addition to the official salary, officials in the Ming Dynasty also have many other subsidies and subsidies. In terms of firewood, firewood and silver, Gao Pragmatic, as a sixth-grade official, can dispatch four civilian servants for free
Later, the imperial court converted the hired servants into money, one tael per person per month, and four taels equaled four taels.
This is equivalent to the court giving you four taels of silver every month. Logically speaking, you are allowed to use it to hire servants, but in fact it is up to you whether to hire servants. This money is distributed by the Ministry of War every month. For example, Gao Pragmatic
Wait, there are a lot of servants at home, what kind of servants should we hire? And there is that official who saves money and doesn't hire servants at all. Isn't this money saved?
In addition to Chai Xin Zao Yin, there is also Zhitang Yin. The so-called Zhitang Yin means that for each yamen, the court stipulates the number of Zhitang officials and servants, and then allocates salary according to this number.
The way here is very simple. After that, each yamen deliberately hired fewer officials and distributed the saved money to the officials, which was called Zhitang Bank. Zhitang Bank was one or a few taels per month, and even as much as ten taels.
The amount varies, in short, it depends on the income-generating ability of each yamen. This amount of money is equivalent to the unit bonus in later generations, and is distributed to officials by each yamen.
Since these two sums of money do not go to the Ministry of Accounts, they are easily ignored by people, thinking that the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was only regular salary. In fact, as far as Gao Pragmatic knows, the worst of these officials in their Hanlin Academy are paid every year.
Can earn hundreds of taels.
But an annual income of hundreds of taels is not enough to spend money at Wanglong Tower. That place is one of the most expensive restaurants for banquets in the capital, and the location is good, especially the top floor of the Accord. It is said that you can see the cornices of Huangji Palace.
, that’s why it’s called “Wanglong Tower”.
Eating in this gold-selling cave-like place and having a drink for two people will cost you 40 to 50 taels. If you are a group of friends having a meal and having a few drinks, one or two hundred taels of silver will be enough to wave goodbye to you, so
After Gao Pragmatic's move, no matter what everyone said, they were still willing to accept his love.
Two days later, the report of meritorious service proposed by the cabinet to the emperor was approved by Zhu Yijun.
First of all, in terms of the cabinet, Guo Pu was added as Taifu, Zhang Siwei was added as Shaoshi, Shen Shixing was added as Prince Taishi, Yu Youding and Xu Guo were added as Prince Taifu, but the remaining officials remained unchanged.
As for the Hanlin Academy, it's the big head. First of all, Chen Siyu, the Young Master of Zhan Shifu and the Imperial Academy's Bachelor of Science, was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now when you see Chen Siyu, you can't call him a Bachelor of the Academy, but Shao Zongbo.
.
Accompanying this appointment was another appointment, which was to promote Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude and Chen Jingbang to the post of bachelor's degree in charge of the affairs of the academy and to serve as a lecturer on the banquet day.
Chen Jingbang is an old acquaintance of Gao Pragmatism. He has been Zhu Yijun's daily lecturer since the Longqing period, and he is also Gao Pragmatism's teacher. However, at that time, he was just an editor of the Hanlin Academy. Over the years, he has been promoted all the way, and finally reached the position of bachelor's degree scholar.
After this step in the court affairs, the next step is usually to be a minister of a certain ministry. The future is relatively clear, which is gratifying.
Next it was the turn of Gao pragmatism and Gao Xiuzhuan. His appointment was "to be promoted to the Hanlin Academy to compile Gao pragmatism. Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude was still a former official and served as a lecturer on scriptures and banquets."
In fact, this sentence should be broken, because it has three meanings: promoted to Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, continued to serve as editor of the Hanlin Academy, and served as a lecturer at the banquet.
This is amazing, and it’s not even just a matter of upgrading two levels in a row.
Zuo Yude of Zuo Chunfang was promoted to Zuo Yude from the fifth-grade, high-pragmatic and sixth-grade Hanlin Academy editor. He was indeed promoted two levels in a row. There is no problem. It is relatively rare to continue to serve as the Hanlin Academy editor, but it is also
It’s not a big problem. The big problem is that he is an official at the banquet!
It is extremely rare for a Jinshi to directly serve as a lecturer. For example, Chen Jingbang, who was newly appointed as the head of the Hanlin Academy, was favored by Gao Gong, a master who won the gold medal in the 44th year of Jiajing, and was able to serve as the Prince's official lecturer.
Official, but that was also a subject in the second year of Longqing.
And what about Gao Pragmatism? This Jinshi scholar had only been working in the Hanlin Academy for three months, and he was actually working full-time as an official!
You must know that being a full-time official is not only to be valued by the emperor, but also has a prerequisite, which is cabinet nomination. There are two situations for cabinet nomination.
The first is that the chief minister directly nominates, which is nothing to say. Even the chief minister has the power to recommend ministers to the cabinet, let alone nominating officials on the same day?
Second, several ministers raised their hands to vote. Now there are five people in the cabinet. If more than three votes are cast by a show of hands, the cabinet recommendation will be counted.
The problem is that Gao Pragmatic estimates that Teacher Guo will not take the initiative to nominate himself as a lecturer on Economic Feast Day so early, so his recommendation by the cabinet should be a decision made by a cabinet minister and then voted by the cabinet.
And the cabinet minister who made the motion should not be his uncle Zhang Siwei. He would definitely consider avoiding suspicion... Then who could it be?
Could it be Xu Guo? It should be very possible that he is both San Bo's disciple and his teacher when he was his companion.
