Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 572 Actor's self-cultivation

The Ministry of Punishment's Shaanxi Cleaning Department is operating as usual. Criminal case files from Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, as well as the Rear Military Governor's Office, Pedestrian Department, Jingfu Army Guard, and Hedong Salt Transportation Department, etc. All the officials here.

  There are many files, but there are too many lice, and the officials of the Shaanxi Cleaning Department have long practiced the leisurely working method. A pot of tea, a copy of the mansion newspaper, a case file, drink tea, read the newspaper, examine the files, and the time will pass slowly.

   In general, the work seems to be busy, but the officials are still very leisurely.

The officials of the Shaanxi Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Punishment were leisurely in their busy schedule. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, He Ao, had returned from the Yan Mansion, and when the little official whispered in his ear to remind Lang Zhai Juntao, Zhu Pingan, who was sitting at the door, had already passed the little official's lips. The shape is read out.

   However, the doctor Zhai Juntao did not make any representations, and Zhu Pingan did not point out.

   About half an hour after returning from He Ao, Langzhong Zhai Juntao sent someone to ask He Ao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, once again.

"Come here, serve tea to Mr. Zhu. Ping'an, don't be restrained, treat this as the Imperial Academy. He Shangshu will send someone to inform us when he is done." Langzhong Zhai Juntao smiled and ordered someone to serve Zhu Ping'an tea and let Zhu Ping An is calm and restless, and looks very enthusiastic.

   "Thank you for your safety, Mr. Zhai."

  Zhu Ping'an got up and cupped his hands to thank him, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and pulled out a disdainful smile. Zhu Ping'an couldn't hear what the little official said just now, but he could read it through his lips. The answer that the little official brought was to dry himself first.

  Hehe, boil the eagle? This is psychological warfare?

Sure enough, those who can achieve the position of Shangshu are not fuel-efficient lamps. Sometimes waiting is the most tormenting person. Several reminders from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs make people feel that the matter is urgent, but when I come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they are waiting for me. Don't say anything about the petition, just let yourself wait. Urgent, uneasy, will wait and slowly ferment, the longer the wait, the greater the collapse of the defense line in the heart.

   Then, the other party waits for work with leisure, and naturally gets twice the result with half the effort.

  Of course, maybe He Shangshu didn't take himself seriously at all, and it was just a habit to do so.

  If it is an ordinary boy who is new to the officialdom, he will probably collapse himself while waiting as they think at this time... However, it is a pity that he met Zhu Pingan.

Zhu Ping'an is more leisurely than the officials of Shaanxi Qingli Department. He sits comfortably at the table near the door. Zhu Yuanzhang's "Persuading Officials", I read a page from time to time.

Between reading, I will hold a cup of hot tea in my hand, hold the teacup in my left hand, hold the tea cover in my right hand, and flick the edge of the cup a few times from time to time, the Longjing tea leaves in the teacup will dance up and down under the flick, and the fragrance of the tea will become more and more fragrant during the flicking. up.

  In modern times, Zhu Pingan seldom drank tea, and even when he drank tea, he was not very particular about it. When watching TV, he always held the bowl lid twice when watching TV, which was very puzzling. It wasn't until we arrived in Daming that we found out why.

Drinking tea is an elegant thing for the ancients. They pay attention to observing its shape, color, smell and taste. The cover is used to stir the edge of the teacup, and the stirring of the upper layer of water will make the tea flow in the teacup, just like the tea ceremony. Flying makes the tea more flavorful and the tea fragrance is stronger. If you like to drink clear tea, just turn it a few times less; if you like to drink strong tea, then turn it a few more times.

  In addition, modern teacups have a metal filter to filter the tea to avoid drinking the tea into the mouth. There was no such device in ancient times. The ancients used the tea cover to turn the teacup to move the tea dregs to the other side, so as to avoid the humiliation of taking a sip of tea when drinking tea.

Oh, yes, tea cups in ancient times did not have that metal filter. I just finished my job in the Imperial Academy, and I was thinking of finding a way to make money. In other words, if the invention of this filter is "referenced" to Daming, is it possible? Fuck?

  Well, in modern times, it can be said that everyone has a cup with a filter. The market has already verified that it works in modern times. There should be no reason why it couldn't work in ancient times. The ancients liked to drink tea more than modern people. After all, in ancient times, there was only tea as a beverage, and people had no choice. It can be said that the market is bigger than modern people.

   This can be done, of course, this will be discussed in the future.

  While Zhu Ping'an was drinking tea and considering the filter, Zhai Juntao, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment for the Qing Dynasty, looked at Zhu Pingan from time to time without any trace, and then Zhai Juntao was shocked.

  Zhu Ping'an sat comfortably, sipping tea elegantly, and thinking about the filter screen was also regarded by the doctor Zhai Juntao as being absorbed in reading a book.

  Then, Zhai Juntao came to a conclusion that shocked him. This young man who had just entered the officialdom was so calm on this occasion, as calm as a mountain. People who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years may not be able to reach this level. Such a young man has reached such a level in nourishing energy.

  When Zhu Pingan drank three cups of tea and read two Ming laws, Zhai Juntao, the secretary of the Qing Dynasty, finally got up and took Zhu Pingan to meet He Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

  However, before meeting with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhai Langzhong took Zhu Pingan to the Zhaomo Institute of the Ministry of Punishment to get the dossier about Zhu Ping's memorial.

   There are three officials in the Zhaomo Institute, all of whom are in the eighth rank or so. There are about ten small scribes.

  The Ministry of Punishment’s Zhaomo Office is somewhat similar to the offices of modern governments, enterprises and institutions. It is mainly responsible for sorting and archiving files, accepting and issuing documents, examining Liufang files, reviewing files, recording stolen goods, etc.

  As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Pingan smelled a strong smell of calligraphy and ink.

  Zhai Langzhong always had Hexi's smile on his face, and he called the officials in the Zhaomo Institute by their names familiarly, which flattered everyone for a while. If he hadn't learned about Zhai Langzhong's personality through lips in Shaanxi Qingli Department, Zhu Ping'an would have been deceived by his affinity.

  But now...

   It's nothing more than an actor's self-cultivation.

After coming out of Zhaomo, I went directly to the office of He Ao and He Shangshu. He Ao's office room is almost the simplest and most dilapidated room in the Ministry of Criminal Justice... If you only look at the office environment, He Ao must be a selfless person who is dedicated to his work. He is an upright official at work, but... He Shangshu, who can join forces with Yan Song and become Yan Song's henchman, can be upright.

  He Ao is very famous.

  His fame comes from the two court sticks, which were made famous by two generations of emperors. Jiajing's brother, Emperor Zhengde wanted to tour the south, He Ao went up to stop him, but Zhengde beat him with the court stick; was killed. He Ao's great reputation was gained in exchange for two tones of the imperial staff.

Pity.

  He Ao was not bad in his early years, but now he has become Yan Song's henchman, which has deteriorated.

   "Why is Ping'an sighing?" Zhai Langzhong's ears are very sharp. Hearing Zhu Ping'an's sigh, he thought it was Zhu Ping'an's sigh.

   "Nothing." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.

   Langzhong Zhai showed a knowing smile when he saw this, and didn't ask any more questions.
