Teaching refers to academic officials. There are two types of teaching in the Chang Dynasty. One is teaching in the palace, mostly subordinate officials in the palace, who teach the nobles in the palace knowledge, lecture and teach scriptures, and the other is academic officials in the Imperial College.
, teaching students the Four Books and Five Classics, with different grades.
In addition, there is another type that can also be called teaching, which has no official status and can be a peddler or a civil servant, serving as a lecturer. The person who teaches needs to address him as "sir" and consider himself as a student.
There are also three provinces, six ministries, and nine temples, but most of them are private scholars and celebrities, and they do not hold long-term appointments.
Chu Qing almost has an official status now, and is waiting for the official approval. He is just a low-ranking official in the eighth-grade department, so the official officials will still give it to Wei Changfeng.
Among the six ministries, there are as many eighth-grade officials as dogs, and there are many unworthy ministers everywhere, but the "status" of this instructor is no small matter.
Because of this teaching, everyone can dislike him, hate him, or scold him in their hearts, but they must respect him because Chu Qing is the "teacher". Even if he just teaches that one plus one equals two, it is still a teaching.
If you are knowledgeable, if you don't respect the person who teaches you knowledge, you will be despised and spurned. This is the rule, the rule of the literati, and officials are all literati, the king of heaven and earth, their teacher, no matter what the teacher is, even if it is a pedicure
Teacher, as long as you have the word "teacher" in your name, you need to respect it.
Shu Cheng didn't have a classroom, but there was one for teaching and learning. Wei Changfeng called Chen Yan in and asked Chen Yan to make an office space for Qin Youdao.
Chen Yan had a look of helplessness on his face, and there was no room left to spare.
Either you say that Mr. Wei is the minister, and the problem can be solved easily with just one sentence - well, give up your squad room and let Chu Qing move in.
Then, Chen Yan became the only sixth-rank manager in the household department without an office address, and was occupied by Chu Qingjiu.
Chu Qing and Chen Yan left, the former cheerful and the latter with a wry smile on his face.
As soon as the two left, Wei Changfeng coughed slightly, and the civil servant who was guarding outside came in.
"Go and call your right servant Qiu Wanshan in."
The clerk responded and hurried away. After a while, Qiu Wanshan walked in humbly.
"I don't know what the old man's orders are when he summons my subordinates."
"sit."
Qiu Wanshan's heart skipped a beat and he sat aside respectfully.
"I only want to ask you once, why you went to Chu Mansion yesterday, who asked you to go, the whole story, all details, please tell me."
"Sir, I was dismissed yesterday..."
"I said, I will only ask you once. If you don't want to talk to me, just leave on your own. If you just betrayed someone else's favor and it's nothing serious, I won't pursue it."
Qiu Wanshan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said: "Sir, I just received the notice from the second young master of the Li family and went to reprimand the Chu family. That's all."
"The accounts of Xiao County are related to you."
"No, absolutely no, I don't dare to lie."
"The second young master of the Li family, his name is..."
"Li Lin."
"That's the name." Wei Changfeng sneered: "The county seat of Xiao County is called Li Mu, the eldest son of the Li family. It turns out that Chu Qing went to Tao Mansion and saw the accounts at Tao Shaozhang's place. This matter was brought to the attention of Li Mu.
Lin learned that it was related to his brother, so he asked you to warn him."
"Yes, that's true. Others have nothing to do with the official, including Xiao County's tax affairs."
Qiu Wanshan was sweating profusely and did not dare to take a breath.
In the Ministry of Household Affairs, Wei Changfeng is the "King", so to speak, the ministers on his left and right are high-ranking officials in the court. However, in the Ministry of Household Affairs, if Wei Changfeng wants to change a minister, it is only a matter of one word after entering the palace.
Wei Changfeng's majesty comes from his fifty years of character, the favor in the palace and the awe of other adults.
Among the people in the household department, Wei Changfeng felt the most pain about corruption, and knew how to get rid of everyone.
The matter of going to the Chu Mansion to "extort money" yesterday could be big or small. It is normal in Beijing, but if you are in the Ministry of Household Affairs, it can be regarded as using power to suppress people. If Wei Changfeng wants to be more serious, he, the right servant, must
Minutes were removed.
"I believe this." Wei Changfeng changed the subject and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, you are from the Qiu family in Qinghe. After the marriage between the Qiu family and the Shang family, although you are not a core member of the Qiu family
, but you were appreciated by the Shang family and recommended to be an official in the capital. In the seventh year of Pinglong, you became the head of the Household Department. After that, you regarded yourself as a member of the Shang family. The year before last, the Shang family sent your sister to the palace to become a talent.
People, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has given you good reviews for two consecutive years in Beijing, and you have become the Right Minister. However, after the new emperor came to the throne, your sister lost power, and you regarded yourself as a member of the Qiu family. Is that so?
.”
Qiu Wanshan's face turned red with embarrassment.
He originally thought that Lord Shangshu would never pay attention to the affairs of these aristocratic families in Beijing, and he would not even remember where the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were from. But who would have thought that this old man who usually kept silent about this would actually know about it.
So detailed.
Wei Changfeng continued: "When you reach the position of a minister, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Your sister has lost her power. How can the officials give you face again? Even if you resign and return to your hometown as a minister, it is not
It's easy, it's precisely because of this that you want to curry favor with the Li family, right?"
With a "plop", Qiu Wanshan knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, but didn't know how to talk.
"You have found the wrong person." Wei Changfeng chuckled: "I thought you were mediocre in intelligence but good at research, but I didn't expect that even the eyes you were betting on were blind, which is ridiculous."
Qiu Wanshan raised his head, his face full of confusion.
"I'll tell you the truth, the new king is very concerned about this tax matter. Liang Rong in the north has repeatedly violated the border in the past few years, but the supply of food and grass is always insufficient. After all, it's just money and food. Where does this money and food come from?
, naturally it is the tax official’s silver, but this official silver has been misappropriated by aristocratic families and local wealthy families, and the affairs of Xiao County are nothing more than a drop in the bucket."
Qiu Wanshan exclaimed: "The emperor wants to implement tax reform?"
"Yes, since it is a change, it must be rectified first. Since it is a rectification, it is natural to investigate. If you like to bet, I will give you a chance to bet on my household department. If the errand is done well, I will definitely mention it to the emperor.
, let the new king appreciate you, and your future official career will depend on your ability. If you don’t pledge it, it’s okay. Without him, what you did in the past will be what you do in the future.”
Qiu Wanshan's expression changed again and again, and he reacted in a flash, his voice trembling: "The boss wants to... want to let the subordinate use his body as a sword to thoroughly investigate the taxation of all the countries in the world. This... I don't know how many offenders I have to offend.
Local officials, these officials all come from powerful families, this... this is a way to die, sir, this, this is a way to die."
"No, you are not worthy of this sword, but someone else."
"That is?"
"Chu Qing, the nameless sword is invulnerable just because it is nameless. What I want you to do is to make this nameless sword incapable of making any mistakes. Not to mention that the blade of this sword is broken, even if it is broken.
If there is a gap and the sword spike is destroyed, Chu Qing and he... will lose a hair on his head. I am the only one asking!"
After finishing speaking, Wei Changfeng picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and waited patiently.
Qiu Wanshan's chest was heaving up and down for a long time, and then he asked: "My lord, I have a far-sighted vision. The emperor wants to do it. This matter cannot be disobeyed. Chu Qing comes from the Chu family. The Chu family does not have good relations with the family and is outside the family."
, the reputation is not obvious and has no foundation. He is indeed the best candidate to uncover the thick sores, but he can be dismissed..."
Gritting his teeth, Qiu Wanshan said in a deep voice: "But the official can only cover the open spear for him. As for this arrow in the dark, the official can't do anything about it and dare not guarantee it."
"Okay." Wei Changfeng smiled slightly: "I, the Minister of Household Affairs, should be wary of this hidden arrow. From now on, you will be Shangguan Chu Qing, supervising him to verify the accounts. This son's temperament... I can't tell.
You can decide the depth yourself, but this person can't make any mistakes, let alone let me make him popular, you understand."
Qiu Wanshan smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand."
I understand, how could I not understand? It’s just like serving me like a father.
To put it nicely, I am a superior officer, supervising him, but as a result, you said that this boy has a bad temperament, so if you can't get angry, you can just ask me to recognize him as his father and that will be the end of it.
