After hearing Zhang Yue's promise to arrange errands, everyone's expressions and attitudes suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Xiang Qi also murmured in his heart why Zhang Yue was so easy to talk to.
A student here who was doing business at home had some doubts and immediately asked the famous old man for advice: "Senior, why is it that the position of a subordinate official has attracted so many people to flock to it? Please give me some advice, senior."
But when I saw the name of this special performance, I couldn't say anything.
The imperial student immediately took the wine cup and poured a pot of wine for the other party and said, "Senior, please give me some advice!"
The special player glanced at Zhang Yue, who was being toasted, and said with a smile: "The affairs of this exchange are not very complicated. They are just official documents, writings, and the like, but the salary is generous, and
In Bianjing, of course, the only flaw is the status of the officials."
The other party said: "Yes, no matter what happens, we are also scholars, how can we be reduced to subordinates?"
Te Zhuoming glanced at the other party and said: "There are clear and dirty choices. Generally, scholars don't want to be officials, but there are also superior and inferior officials."
"As we all know, the so-called Exchange and Reference Office is the Duyanyuan, and the official staff of the Exchange and Reference Office are all under the Duyanyuan. What kind of yamen is the Duyanyuan? The Beijing Yamen is directly under the jurisdiction of the Sansi Yamen. They are also officials, but
How can the officials in Beijing and Yamen be compared to the officials in ordinary prefectures and counties?”
Seeing the puzzled look on the other side, Tezuzou Ming picked up his chopsticks and pointed: For example, the post officials in the fifth room of the Zhongshu Gate, and the fifth room of the Privy Council Chengzhi Department all accept the edict, and the officials here have to be serious.
It is not necessary for a scholar to be a Jinshi by birth. He can also move all the way to Yuanwailang and then be released as an official. When an official reaches this position, no official is more prosperous than him."
"Duyanyuan is the official who directly belongs to the Sansi Yamen. The Sansi, Zhongshu Sheng and Privy Council are collectively called the Liangfu and Sansi. Generally, you can't get the errands here. Most of them are scholars."
The other party suddenly said: "That's it."
"What's more, the officials at the Exchange and Citation Office are given double salaries. Even the officials in the Three Divisions of Duyan Case are envious."
Hearing this, the other party was already moved.
"The monthly salary of a low-level selection official is only eight or nine thousand yuan, but an official at the Exchange Office can get this amount, and his private name can also be as much as five or six thousand yuan."
The other party said: "Listening to your words is worse than ten years of reading. However, this is only superficial. Taking into account the secret contributions of humble officials and subordinates, it is far inferior."
The special memorial said disdainfully: "You know that everyone who is an official or a local official has a secret income, how can there be no noble and upright scholars?"
The other party said: "I understand."
"Why is my brother so interesting?"
"Yes, I am a concubine, and my brothers have taken care of the business in the family. In the future, the separation of the family will only involve a small amount of land and property. Now that I have such an errand, and Bachelor Zhang is my classmate, why don't I go?
…”
"I often do business at home. Since this exchange office is run by government officials, there will definitely be many places where Bachelor Zhang will use me in the future."
The special line is: "Brother, you have a far-sighted vision!"
After saying this, the man took the wine cup and went to toast Zhang Yue's wine.
Seeing Zhang Yue's enthusiasm, Xiang Qi couldn't help but murmured that he had come to set up this situation today with the intention of letting Zhang Yue help him. He was originally worried that Zhang Yue would be unwilling to help out of favor, but he didn't know that Zhang Yue would
No one will be turned away.
This was beyond his expectation.
Zhang Yue also had some thoughts when facing all the classmates who came to toast. Those who serve as officials must have standards for employing people, and Zhang Yue used his classmates.
As long as you are a classmate of mine and have never served as an official, I will try my best to arrange it for you. Or even if you are not qualified, you can do it.
Having said that, Zhang Yue has been an official for almost two years, and has dealt with people at high and low levels, and found that it is more reliable to use scholars as officials.
Because this is a matter of no choice. In the final analysis, the country's elite is still a scholar.
Generally speaking, people are divided into those who are enterprising and those who are not. Those who are enterprising are divided into two categories, one is a person who works, and the other is a person.
After really getting along for a long time, I found that people who work seriously are basically reliable, because they are too focused on thinking about things and have no time to play tricks with you, and they speak straightforwardly.
People who spend all their time studying how to have relationships should be careful, and those who engage in personal clinging should be even more careful.
Often the corruption of morale appears in this kind of people. Because leaders like to use such people, and what's even more annoying is that you can't fight them.
Fu Bi's most common saying is that a gentleman and a villain can't fight together. If a gentleman can't win, it doesn't matter if he leaves. But if a villain can't win, he must do everything possible to win back. Therefore, he poisons kindness and seeks the world's peace.
Chaos, unattainable
Why is a Tai student so reliable? Being able to pass the imperial examination where thousands of troops can cross a single-plank bridge proves his ability and at least one skill.
Of course, Tai students are not without their scum, but it takes too much time and energy to examine a person's ability. Tai students guarantee at least one offline person, thus maximally saving their own information costs.
Of course, there is another reason, which is to arrange your own people at key positions.
Zhang Yue will leave his position as Judge of Salt and Iron sooner or later, so he must arrange enough of his own people so that he can still have a huge influence on Jiaoyin after he leaves.
The original design of the board of directors also served this purpose.
After the banquet ended, everyone sent Zhang Yue out of the Zhuangyuan Building. Everyone stretched their necks and watched Zhang Yue get on his horse and leave the street. After Zhang Yue left, everyone was impatient to go home and tell those close to him.
Man, this is a great thing.
Xiang Qi personally sent Zhang Yue back home.
Xiang Qidao: "Duzhi, you are really grand today, I admire you."
Zhang Yue said: "No, I am helping you, Brother Liu, today, I am here to support you."
Xiang Qidao: "Why did Du Zhi say this?"
Zhang Yue glanced at Xiang Qi and said, "Brother Xiang, I'm very grateful that you helped Liu Zuo with his family affairs, but the Zhuangyuan Building later set up a trap. I'm afraid it was already intentional..."
Xiang Qiyun.
Zhang Yue said: "After all, they are also my classmates in Taixue, so it doesn't matter. But in the future, you should tell me in advance, otherwise... you and I will not have the next time!"
Xiang Qi couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Zhang Yue's words.
When Zhang Yue arrived at the Jiaoyin Office the next day, there were more than ten people sitting outside. Some of them were classmates with Yan yesterday, and the rest were recommended by others.
Cai Jing opened the door and walked to Zhang Yue and asked, "What are the bachelor's orders?"
Zhang Yue said: "These people outside are here on request. How do you plan to arrange them?"
"I need to check the status first."
Cai Jing was originally worried that there would be a mixed crowd, but when he saw the behavior of these people, he knew that they were either imperial students or civil servants. The rest were also scholars and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Cai Jingdao: "Reporting to the bachelor, this dynasty has selected talents from hundreds of subordinate officials in the capital. The letters and punishment names are in three directions, divided into four grades: excellent, inferior, average and unqualified."
“I’ll report it to Xiaoquan (Liu Waiquan) later!”
Zhang Yue said: "The Jiao Citation Office is between officials and businessmen, and we must decide the order of promotion. All the official positions in our office belong to Duyanyuan, and any increase or decrease in posts will belong to Liuwai Quan. This is inevitable."
Cai Jingdao: "I'm afraid it's impossible to give away the title to more than 20 people in one go. Even if it is temporarily replaced by a private name, the imperial regulations will be issued in three years, followed by a test, a fill-in, and a labor test..."
Zhang Yue understood that the imperial court had strict control over the number of officials, and subsequent promotions had to go through Liuwaiquan.
Zhang Yue said: "All public officials in the Jiaoyin Office will have private names after joining the Yamen. Those who are outstanding can be promoted to the rank of Daique and have their names corrected."
A private name means a non-establishment person, and the so-called non-establishment position means someone who has not received any external support. This is an independent recruitment of the company. As for the waiting list and name correction, if there are not many places, Zhang Yue can still arrange it.
Zhang Yue said to Cai Jing: "Chang Yuan, what I am discussing with you today is the way to employ people in our office."
"Like a student from Imperial College, who has never held an official position, he is like a blank piece of paper. He is obedient and easy to manage. In addition, he has not contracted any bad habits in the official world. The most important thing is to consider the court. These people must be arranged. If you don't understand,
Otherwise, Zhang Yuan and Huang Chao (plus Hong Tianwang) will serve as a lesson."
Cai Jingdao: "I'll remember it. The third point of a bachelor's degree is to have the best intentions."
Zhang Yue said: "However, the princes in the imperial court are suffering from the inability to settle down the candidates who have failed to pass the examination. Scholars and imperial students have been there for a long time."
"Every year, tens of thousands of officials are stationed at Beijing Houque for the election of civil servants. In a remote state, there are three or five people who have been dispatched for several years..."
"If the officials are like this, what should the scholars do? Therefore, the most important thing for the scholars is not to have a good mission, but to have a mission first.
"Another point is that we had a lot of hardships when we were studying. How difficult is it to be an official? In fact, most things in the yamen can be done if you can read and write in three to five years. Why does it have to be like this?"
"The reason why we are working so hard is, in a nutshell, that there is too much food for the monks."
Zhang Yue said it plainly. Involution among scholars is too serious. Most things in the yamen are not difficult. It is easy for scholars to reach this level. But why are the imperial examinations becoming more and more difficult?
After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Cai Jing realized that the way a bachelor employs people is based on public and private matters.
For example, the establishment of the Exchange Office is, firstly, to make a profit from banknotes, and secondly, to prevent the price of salt banknotes from rising or falling significantly, which is beneficial to people's livelihood and national security.
The same is true for employing people. When employing students from the Imperial College, the first reason is that they are really easy to manage, have a good morale, and have talents. The second reason is to share the worries of the imperial court.
Cai Jing wrote it down carefully and felt faintly excited at the same time. He learned a lot from Zhang Yue.
Cai Jingdao: "In the future, the names will be directly assigned to the establishment. This will be given to those who can work hard. As for the waiting list, they will be neither high nor low. Those who are incompetent will continue to have private names. This will not hurt the sentiment of the recommendation."
"Given time, we will gradually replace the slick old officials in Duyanyuan with these people."
Zhang Yue said: "Yes, these people are difficult to control and cannot be managed. The Exchange is run by officials and supervised businesses, and it is a place where efficiency is important. Not to mention these people usually commit petty theft, how can they make a difference by occupying seats and not doing anything?
?”
Zhang Yue asked Cai Jing to take exams for these people, and arrange a ranking of the exam results. Finally, after three months of probation, they would then rank their private names and wait for them to be corrected.
After Zhang Yue and Cai Jing discussed it, one person came to report.
Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately rode back to his house from the exchange station.
At this time, the house was already busy. Zhang Shi, Zhang Qiu, and Guo Lin were greeting a man with a slightly vicissitudes of life.
The other party was Huang Lu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
