The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yunyan turned her belly back and lay on the balcony with her limbs wide open.

Unemployed No.14 days, so boring, so lonely!

Yun Yanhui doesn't like vacations, but likes to work, because occasionally being lazy at work makes him very happy, but the long vacation makes him feel uncomfortable.

Having worked as a "child laborer" for so many years, Yun Yan felt very sad when she was suddenly free.

He stretched out his hand on the balcony backwards, and Beibei came up to him, rubbing his head against his palm.

After touching for a while, Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling appeared together.

Zhao Yunchu climbed up to the balcony, seeing Yunyan's dying look, he jumped on it.

Fortunately, Yunyan turned alert, turned over, and Zhao Yunchu was lying on the balcony.

"Wow, what are you doing? Do you know you're not light?"

Who do you want to crush to death by jumping over like this?

Zhao Yunchu took a bite of the bamboo board and sat up aggrieved, "I want to hug Brother Yan and comfort you."

"...Thank you, don't need to comfort me." Yun Yan leaned back against the wall and crossed her hands, "Nothing happened."

"But after so many days, it seems that your spirit is getting worse and worse." Zheng Ling also stepped up and sat down. The two of them came here quite frequently recently, and they bumped into each other today.

When Yun Yanhui had an accident before, no one thought of sending news to Zhao Yunchu before and after, so he didn't know until very late, and almost cried in anger.

As for Zheng Ling, he still knew about it at home, so he sent someone to invite Zheng Ling, but he almost rolled on the ground to let Ah Weng pass by.It is said that his family had been arguing all night, and finally decided that Zheng Yun would come forward to support Yun Yan's return.

But Zheng Ling was not allowed to go there that day. If he had gone, he might have fought Zhou Huilin on the spot...

"It's not that I'm mentally ill, it's just that I'm too busy." Yun Yan replied, "I'm not that fragile, it's just that I'm unemployed."

"Brother Yan, I know you are suffering, but you just don't want to say it..." Zhao Yunchu said, and wanted to hug Yunyan back.

Yun Yan rolled back on the spot, rolled away, stepped on Zhao Yunchu's thigh with her foot, "You are enough."

Zheng Ling said: "Our talent like Brother Yan can go anywhere! There are so many places in Bianjing, isn't it up to you to choose?"

"It is true that there are people who come to invite, but one is not particularly satisfactory, and the other is how many people in Bianjing city do not need to rely on the imperial army to take care of their business?" Yun Yan was also a little depressed when he returned, he didn't want to deal with the imperial army anymore.

Zhao Yunchu went forward, hugged Yun Yanhui's calf, and pillowed it on his knee, and found that Brother Yan didn't hide this time, so he was complacent, "My family, I'm not afraid of my family, Brother Yan, please come to my shop gone."

"If you want to say that, then my shop is not afraid." Zheng Ling said not to be outdone.

Yunyan looked back at Zhao Yunchu's head on his lap, and reached out to pat his white and tender face, "Your family is not afraid of anything, but there are many restrictions."

……

Just as Yun Yan was discussing her future career path with her friends, Gongsun Ce and Liao Ran were also discussing this matter.

The food festival is over, and Gongsun Ce's temporary work career has also expired. It stands to reason that he should leave Daxiangguo Temple at this time.

Gao Ran took out a letter and said, "Mr. Gongsun, this is a letter of recommendation. You can take this and go to the Kaifeng government office to find Bao Wenzheng, the young master of the Kaifeng government."

Gongsun Ce was both surprised and happy, and quickly thanked him, "I can't repay the abbot for taking care of me for several months."

"Actually, when you came to the monastery on the first day, sir, Brother Yan and I were talking about recommending you to Kaifeng Mansion after your affairs are over." Qiao Ran said with a smile, "With your great talent, It will definitely have a place in Kaifeng Mansion."

Gongsun Ce looked at his recommendation letter, thought for a moment, thought twice, and said: "Brother Yan has been saying that there is no suitable place before, and he is afraid of hurting those shops. The letter from the abbot today is that I suddenly have Here's an idea—why not, let Brother Yan go to the Kaifeng government office with me?"

"Huh?" Liao Ran was surprised at first, and then thought about it in his mind.

Kaifeng Mansion is actually a bit similar to Daxiangguo Temple. There are many and complicated things. Of course, Kaifeng Mansion must be more and more complicated. After all, the management area is many times that of Daxiangguo Temple, but they are similar in essence.

As an organization that maintains the law and order of the entire Bianjing, and it belongs to the same government agency, with the toughness of the boss Bao Zheng, how can Kaifeng Mansion be bullied by the imperial army.

And Bao Zheng just expressed his appreciation for Yun Yanhui several times. Thinking about it this way, Kaifeng Mansion is really suitable for Yun Yanhui to treat him.

"So, it's really appropriate..." Mingran murmured, "Then I'll call Brother Yan over and ask his opinion. If he agrees, I'll write a letter and ask him to go with you. "

"Very good, very good." Gongsun Ce clapped his hands and smiled.

-

When Yun Yanhui was called to know where she was, she was still a little dazed, not knowing what she was called to do.

"Teacher," although Liao had expelled Yunyan back from the school on the surface, but he still refused to change his words in private, and called him this way, "Mr. Gongsun's term expires during this period, I plan to recommend him to the Kaifeng government office, would you like Go together?"

Yun Yan was also surprised when she returned, Kaifeng mansion?He really didn't want to go here, didn't Bao Zheng die somewhere, he was really afraid that he would be killed in Kaifeng Mansion.

"This...Kaifeng Mansion is all about prisons, and I don't understand it. It's not good to ask me to go." Yun Yan hesitated back and forth.

Liao Ran thought that he was sure of everything, but he didn't expect Yun Yanhui to refuse. After hearing his reasons, he persuaded him: "Punishment is only a part of it. You can just do what you are good at? Bao Wen is normal with me. I commend you, if you can go, you can do something for the people of Kaifeng."

Clearly speaking, the Kaifeng government not only manages public security and adjudicates cases, but also manages disaster relief, transportation, tax collection, price stabilization, environmental protection, education, etc., and even religion is under their control. The scope is so wide.

It's just that with Bao Zheng around, Yun Yanhui's first thought was to settle the case.

Thinking about it this way, then Kaifeng Mansion is actually a good choice, as long as it has nothing to do with prisons, it is okay to help Bao Da to manage the logistics, which is quite challenging.

Yun Yan nodded back and said, "Alright then."

Liao Ran said with satisfaction: "Go back and explain to your family, your family used to live next to Kaifeng Mansion, maybe your mother will move back?"

Yunyan returned home and talked about it with Zheng Ping, and Zheng Ping had the idea of ​​moving back.

Back then, it was because of the Zheng family that she avoided working in Daxiangguo Temple to make a living. Now, not to mention the attitude of the Zheng family, the family has long since lost their financial burden, so moving back is actually a good choice.

"It's just that the old house is too small and old. If we move back, we have to cancel the rent with the tenant in advance, and then repair and expand it, otherwise there will not be enough for a big family. And then there is Beibei, it's better to stay here. Or should I take it away so that people can send bamboo and bamboo shoots every day?" The more Zheng Ping talked, the more she felt that there were many problems.

"It's not in a hurry. I haven't gone yet. My mother is taking it easy. Anyway, I can't finish it at this time. At worst, I will live in the government office for a year and a half." Yun Yan looked back at his mother and really wanted to move back. , and told her not to worry.

Zheng Ping nodded, "That's true."

Bao Zheng was reading the pleadings in his study, when suddenly Bao Xing came to report, knowing that the abbot's lay disciple Yun Yan came back with a Confucian scholar to ask for an interview.When Bao Zheng heard that he was an acquaintance, he hurriedly asked Bao Xing to bring him in.

After a while, Bao Xing brought Yun Yan back and a Confucian scholar came in.

Bao Zheng saw that the Confucian scholar was dressed very familiarly, and thought carefully, wasn't this the clothes he changed in the monastery, presumably it was worn by the abbot and him.

When Yun Yan saw Bao Zheng back, she was a little embarrassed, and handed Bao Zheng the clear letter.

Bao Zheng opened it and looked at it, and he recommended this Confucian scholar in the letter, saying that he has excellent character and knowledge, and his disciple has already given up his job in Daxiangguo Temple, and he also hopes to give him a job.

Bao Zheng was surprised, "Why did Brother Yan let go of his errand?"

Yun Yan had no choice but to tell Bao Zheng the story of the future, and Bao Zheng sighed after listening, "It was originally to appease the anger of the Imperial Army's yamen, but I took advantage of it."

He also talked with Confucian scholars and learned that his surname was Gongsun Mingce, and he was as talented and knowledgeable as what he said in the letter.

Having won two talents, Bao Zheng was overjoyed and ordered to go down to have lunch with Gongsun Ce and Yun Yanhui at noon.

Because he and Yun Yanhui were already familiar with each other in Daxiangguo Temple, Bao Zheng was not polite and asked Yun Yanhui if he had any ideas and which department he hoped to go to.

Before Yunyan came back, she also inquired about Kaifeng Mansion. Generally speaking, Kaifeng Mansion has three courts. The left and right military patrol courts are in charge of punishment and prison. There are six Cao Cao, Cang Cao, Hu Cao, Bing Cao, Fa Cao, and Shi Cao. Each of the six Cao Cao has its own functions, and the degree of busyness is also different.In addition, there are some other subordinate officials, each responsible.

But Yun Yan Hui didn't focus on the mainstream department, he was weak, but he said surprisingly: "Isn't there a Tianqing temple in this Kaifeng mansion?"

Tianqing Temple, as the name suggests, is a Taoist temple.You can tell from the fact that it was built in Kaifeng Mansion, this is not an ordinary Taoist temple.Emperor Zhenzong believed in Taoism and ordered the prefectures to establish Tianqing temples.As for Kaifeng Yifu, it simply built Kaifeng Mansion in the government office.

Not only that, because the Kaifeng government is also responsible for the management of Buddhist and Taoist affairs across the country, they simply moved the office of this religious management to Tianqing Temple...

Therefore, Tianqing Temple is not only a Taoist temple, but also an office space.

Yun Yan told him that she didn't invite herself to be a Taoist priest, but wanted to join the National Association of Religious Management!

Even Gongsun Ce was shocked by Yunyan's shamelessness. Damn, they forced you to exile yourself from the Daxiangguo Temple, and you frankly went directly to Tianqing Temple to work. Aren't you uncomfortable if you don't slap your face?

Bao Zheng's face was a bit stiff, "Ahem, Brother Yan seems to be better at other things... It seems a bit overkill in Tianqing Temple."

Yunyan smiled secretly in her heart, and said: "Actually, there are quite a lot of places where I can help. The functions of the Six Caos are quite detailed. I feel regretful wherever I go. Why don't you put me in Tianqingguan, even if it's just a monthly fee?" Go from Tianqing Temple. As for daily life, I hope to follow the way I used to be in Daxiangguo Temple. But if there is any plan, you can transfer people from various Caos to form a working group, be the team leader yourself, and then transfer me to take charge' Send word', I can report directly to you. Even if I don't have an official position, I can still pretend to be a tiger."

Bao Zheng was very moved. The Song Dynasty had a lot of redundant officials, which may lead to many troubles in handling affairs. Even he could not change this situation.And Yun Yanhui's idea is to override this mechanism in order to achieve his goal.Will the method of Daxiangguo Temple work if it is moved to Kaifeng Mansion?Yun Yanhui, can it be controlled?

Bao Zheng was looking forward to this very much, so facing Yun Yanhui's small selfishness, he thought for a while and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll put you in Tianqing Temple!" Bao Zheng looked at Yun Yanhui with a radiant look, "But, you have to promise that I will see a completely new mansion!"

Yun Yan bowed back to Shi Shiran, "I'll tell you the truth, as soon as I came in, I felt that there are a few things that must be done... After doing it, it will definitely make the government office look brand new."

Bao Zheng cheered up: "Tell me one by one! What kind of money do you want, I can tell you here."

"No hurry, let's do it one by one." Yun Yan raised her finger back, "First of all, please transfer me three pennies."

Sanguan money?What can Sanguanqian do?
