Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

In Lu's study, Prefect Lu was lazily leaning on the big armchair.

A young servant served tea, and the staff at the side brought it to him personally, and said with a smile: "My lord, please drink tea."

Prefect Lu took the teacup without looking at the staff, and asked, "How is Tong Ran doing now?"

The staff member bent down a little more, and said: "What else can I do, but I'm just huddled in his washroom. His paperwork has been handed in for more than a month and there has been no movement. He must be scratching his heart and lungs with anxiety right now." .”

Prefect Lu was even more proud when he heard this: "Our government admired his talent at first, but it is a pity that he is ignorant. Our government kindly recruited him to work for me, but he refused. He is really stupid."

Staff: "Yes, what your lord said is very true. It is a good thing to be under the command of an adult. The surname Tong is so ignorant of flattery. Your lord has to teach him some more lessons."

Prefect Lu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are lessons to be learned, just come one by one, I want him to know who is in charge of this Zhuoyang Mansion."

"My lord is wise, and my lord has clever calculations. Naturally, his little Tong Ran can't escape from my lord's Wuzhi Mountain." The aide clasped his hands.

Prefect Lu glanced at him: "Wuzhishan?"

Under a strong positive pressure, the staff's legs softened, and they fell to their knees: "My lord, forgive me, my lord, I only heard it occasionally on the street, and I didn't go to Donglaiwashe to listen to "Journey to the West."

"Hmph." Prefect Lu squinted at the shivering man kneeling on the ground. He enjoyed this condescending feeling, and after a while, he slowly regained his righteousness.

The staff breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and wanted to say something again, when the young man outside ran in again.

"What's wrong?" Prefect Lu lazily raised his eyelids.

The boy wiped off the sweat dripping from his chin, and said anxiously: "It's not good, my lord, Ling Shi of the Taoist jury suddenly came to our yamen, saying that he wants to see the appointment records of officials and the newly handed-in documents!"

"Nonsense, why did the Taoist jury come here now!" Prefect Lu shouted.

Little servant: "It's absolutely true, my lord, now he's probably already rummaging in the yamen."

No, Tong Ran's documents are still in the yamen, and Lu Zhifu's heart tightens.

The servant's appearance really didn't look like an exaggeration, he quickly put on his official hat, and rushed to the magistrate's yamen with his staff.

Dacheng's inspection system is mainly divided into two parts, one is certification, that is, the enshrinement ceremony of the Shengxian Temple, which is intended to confirm an individual's rank, and this part is in charge of the Ministry of Rites.The other part is the appointment of people of high rank. Local officials are responsible for the appointment of officials, and the appointment of officials in various places is in charge of the Taoist jury organized by the Ministry of Officials.

These dao jury teams tour once every three years. At that time, people who have reached the Xuan rank or above in various places will submit application documents, and the dao jury team will decide whether to hire and assign positions.

The Taoist jury is generally composed of four main figures, one is the head of the sixth-rank official department, one is the official secretary of the seventh-rank official department, one is the fourth-rank Chengxuan Chengshi who is in charge of the Tao, and one is a counselor who is close to the Tao.

These people are either from the Ministry of Officials who are in charge of official promotion, or they are high-ranking officials in Taoism, the superiors of Lu Zhifu, regardless of their rank, they are not easy to mess with.

Prefect Lu hurried back to the yamen, only to see a young man in his thirties sitting on his official position, with his legs up on the long table in front of him, smiling all over his face, and playing with something like a document in his hand.

Doesn't seem to have rummaged through the records yet.

Prefect Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know that Mr. Shi came from afar, but our government is really at a loss. We should fight, we should fight." Prefect Lu bent his waist and cupped his hands, smiling harmlessly to humans and animals.

Ruan Zheng waved his hand: "The history of the seven-rank order of the lower official district, how can you afford the gift of the magistrate?"

He said so, but he didn't mean to get up at all.

Of course, Prefect Lu didn't dare to argue with him about this. The Ministry of Officials was in charge of the appointment and promotion of officials. Fu Ganze, the uncle of the state of the dynasty, was appointed Minister. He had great power.

Prefect Lu smiled compensatingly, and made quick calculations in his mind.

Only Ling Shi came, but no one else, maybe he came alone.

What about looking through the records, he still doesn't understand the ways of the officialdom, isn't he just trying to scare him and get some money?Give him good food and drink, give him some money, and then pretend to be a grandson, and he will be dismissed.

After such calculations, Prefect Lu had a plan in mind, and said politely: "Ling Shi must be tired after coming all the way, please go to the house to rest for a while, and in the evening, the mansion invites the singer from Washer to come to the manor to accompany you. How about a drink?"

"Diva," Ruan Zheng murmured, and when Prefect Lu was about to speak again, he stood up suddenly and said, "Prefect Zhuoyang listens." He came out from behind the long table, and took out a roll of bright yellow brocade from nowhere , stand in the middle of the lobby.

Prefect Lu was taken aback, this caused Shi to play cards not according to the rules, but he had to kneel before the emperor's decree.

Ruan Zheng cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I ordered Ruan Aiqing to go to various places in Zhuoyang Mansion to check the appointment records of officials and newly delivered documents. Officials at all levels need to cooperate fully. I appreciate this."

Prefect Lu's heart tightened again, the emperor actually intervened in person.

The emperor's will cannot be defied. In this case, he can only find a way to delay it. His other records are fine. As long as Tong Ran's documents are not seen by Ling Shi, everything will be fine.

Prefect Lu shouted long live three times, kowtowed to the imperial decree, and when he got up, he winked at the master beside him, but the master was sweating all over his face, knelt beside him and said nothing.

Suddenly, Ruan Zheng walked up to him, showed the things he had been playing with before, and said, "Dare to ask Prefect Lu, why didn't he approve this document that was handed over more than a month ago?"

Prefect Lu took a closer look, isn't this exactly Tong Ran's document?Why is it in his hands?

Ruan Zheng seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "The emperor's life is here, I really dare not delay, and the master of Futai was slow to come, so I had to go find it myself."

When Prefect Lu heard this, his face turned even paler.

This is over, and there is no reply for more than a month, which cannot be justified.

If Ruan Zheng reported that it was appropriate for him to sabotage his work, it would definitely affect his subsequent promotion.Up to now, he has only suffered a hemorrhage once, and he does not believe that there are officials in the world who cannot be bribed.

The corner of Ruan Zheng's lips curled up, it seemed that he had found the right thing.

Two days ago, the jury that was going to Longyou Road temporarily changed its route to go to Dunan because of the severe drought in Longyou.Ruan Zheng didn't care, he packed up and prepared to follow, but was summoned into the palace by His Majesty and gave him a decree.

The Taoist jury has always ignored the affairs of officials, but His Majesty suddenly paid attention to this trivial matter of sesame and mung beans, and there must be a purpose in it.

Ruan Zheng thought hard and couldn't understand it. Today, when he came to the prefect of Zhuoyang Mansion to look through it, he saw Tong Ran's document.I don't know if His Majesty paid attention to Tong Ran quietly, or asked him to investigate because he knew that there were many such things in Dunan Road.

It's quite a coincidence that he had a relationship with Tong Ran in the Shengxian Pavilion of Zhuoyang Mansion before, and his words of politeness and restraint that day are still vivid in his memory, and now he can finally get to know each other through his official position. It's also a good thing.

Ruan Zheng said again: "Since it hasn't been dealt with yet, let's deal with it now. I remember that Xiaoguo County below you still has a place for Tiangan. Tiangan is good. Manage the water conservancy of a county's fields. Farming is for the benefit of the country and the people." The Dao is just right for this young genius named Tong Ran, what do you think of Lu Zhifu?"

"Ben...this government thinks that he is young and may not be competent." Lu Zhifu said.

Tian Yan is fat and poor, and his righteousness has grown rapidly. How could he be willing to give it to Tong Ran?

Ruan Zheng sat behind the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote something while saying: "Tong Ran has condensed the seeds of righteousness at the age of 14. Who else can do it except Fu Shangshu? If you say he is not competent, who else can do it?" ?”

Ruan Zheng's words were resounding, and a powerful righteousness followed.

Unexpectedly, the righteousness of the little Qipin Lingshi was so strong that Zhifu Lu almost couldn't straighten up.

He turned back to his staff, who was always glib, and now was the time to use him.However, Prefect Lu searched around but couldn't find it, and hurriedly looked down, only to find that the thing had rolled its eyes and passed out.useless.

"Come on, Prefect Lu, sign and stamp it." Ruan Zheng handed the things he had been writing to Prefect Lu.

When Lu Zhifu saw it, he almost missed it in one breath, and this fellow had already written Tong Ran's appointment.

The front of Donglai Washe is still lively, and many people line up in a long queue to wait for the tickets of "Journey to the West".

The queue was boring, so everyone started chatting, and someone mentioned Tong Ran's delay in approving official documents, which actually caused everyone to quarrel.

The person who spoke at the beginning believed that Tong Ran had offended Lu Zhifu, so he delayed his approval. In this way, his life in Zhuoyang Mansion must be difficult in the future.

The people next to him disagreed, saying that Tong Ran was extremely smart, even if he didn't become an official, he would be able to get up to the mysterious rank by writing a storybook, and his appointment would be under the control of the Taoist jury, so it would be the same as being an official.

"Can being an official be compared with writing a storybook? The righteousness of an official is improving rapidly, but writing a storybook is just a small way."

"Joke! Take a look at the officials in our mansion. Which of them can't go up to the Xuan rank for more than ten years? Tong Ran has gathered the seeds of righteousness in just over a month. Even if he is not an official, he is better than them!"

"Can the seed of condensed righteous energy be compared with the upper mysterious rank? Do you have any common sense?"

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more quarreling, the onlookers quickly persuaded them to fight: "Okay, let's stop arguing. Wouldn't it be better for Mr. Tong not to enter the official career and write more stories for us?"

Unexpectedly, the two quarreling turned their guns at the same time, and angrily shouted in unison: "Mr. Tong is a rare genius once in a century, you are out of your mind!"

The person who persuaded the fight shrank his neck, it was terrifying. It seemed that although the two quarreled, they were both Mr. Tong's admirers.

Ever since "Journey to the West" became popular in Zhuoyang Mansion, Tong Ran has condensed the seeds of righteousness one after another and became famous in the Temple of Saints and Sages. His admirers are as fast as his righteousness.

If they all gather, they can line up from here to the outskirts of the city.

"Who's holding a wedding today, playing and singing here." Someone asked loudly.

Sure enough, I saw someone on the other side of the street holding a suona, someone carrying a gong, playing and singing, coming here.

The attention of the people in the line was immediately attracted, and when the line approached, another human said: "Look at the suona player in the middle, is it the poor man in the yamen?"

"Yes, yes, I remember him, why did he play the suona."

"The one next to it seems to be from the yamen too."

"More than that, it seems to be all of them. Did you see the last one? He is in charge of the prefect Lu's account."

These people even forgot to line up, and stared at the scene in front of them stupidly.

What's going on here, which big brother's baby son or daughter is going to get married?They actually recruited so many yamen arresters and yamen servants to play suona and gongs. You must know that these people are all of high rank and public office. They usually turn their eyes upwards and look down on people at all.

"Blow it well, blow it hard, use some strength, haven't you eaten?" When the team approached, they saw a person walking in the team again, that person was wearing an official uniform, like a commander.

With such a big scene in front of Donglai Washer, shopkeeper Li couldn’t help but come out to have a look. Just as he came out, the team happened to stop in front of the Washer’s gate, playing and singing stopped at the same time. The young man in official uniform stepped forward and bowed politely. He cupped his hands and said, "The next official is Shi Ruanzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Today I came here to give Mr. Tong his letter of appointment. May I ask if Mr. Tong is here now?"

The official secretary came to deliver the letter of appointment in person?

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly supported the waiter's shoulders, the sun was really strong today, and he had hallucinations after only a short while in the sun.
