[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

The work that Sahai was in charge of before was mainly in the management of books and publications, as well as the management of the Imperial College, and included some matters related to the imperial examination.

When examinees from all over the country enter Beijing, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for receiving their rosters, corresponding to the names handed in from various places, and giving wooden signs similar to "examination admission tickets", and contacting the examiners designated by the emperor, contacting the examiners, and conducting absolute inspections. The exam questions are kept secret, and the exam questions are locked up to wait for the day of the official exam.

The layout of the examination room is also under the responsibility of Sahai. He has to hand over with the Ministry of Finance to obtain financial allocations, arrange for subordinates to clean up the examination room, and contact the imperial army to maintain order in the capital on the day of the imperial examination.

After the imperial examinations were held, the completed examination papers were collected, copied, and handed over to the examiners for marking.

It can be said that at the beginning of this year, the main task that Sa Hai was in charge of was the general examination in March. Now that Kangxi transferred Sa Hai to establish a new Ministry of Culture, all these tasks would remain as Sha Cheng's burden.

Wu Nuchun's ability to handle affairs is not good, but his ability to exclude his colleagues is first-rate. Sha Cheng wanted to go over Wu Nuchun to promote his subordinates.

At this moment, Yinreng came to attack again, Sha Cheng's face was of course very good-looking, and it was the first time that he didn't lose his gentle image in front of Yinreng.

[Master Sha's mentality is broken!He actually looked down on the big friend, it's time for Mr. Sha to experience the big friend's ability to handle affairs! ] Xiaomei is here to encourage Yinreng to show off, but Yinreng doesn't want to be a hardworking donkey. What is the reason for his hard work to share the worries of Khan Ama?How did it end up being grinded by others?It's completely different from the good life he expected that Khan Ama sent people to do when he came up with an idea!

Yinfeng pretended not to see Sha Cheng's face change, and said obediently: "Master Sha, I know that my ability is limited. I have only seen it before, but I have never been in touch with common affairs, so I brought some people with good ability to handle affairs, my lord. If you don't believe me, you might as well assign some simple tasks to Gu and see if it can be done smoothly."

Sha Cheng's expression softened a little, and he glanced at the person Yinfeng brought over.

An old woman with big arms and a round waist, presumably she is the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness.

There is also a man with a strong body but no beard, presumably the eunuch next to the prince, and Xiaodouding Cao Zhen has been ignored by Sha Cheng.

The last one is Xinyu, the Commander of Luan Yiwei!

The younger brother of Suo'etu, a power minister at the time, and the envoy used by the emperor to contact courtiers in private.

Sha Cheng's brows relaxed a bit, seeing that the little prince was modest and respectful, he finally nodded.

"Also please, Your Highness will accompany you."

He turned around and took Yinreng to Sahai's original office, only to see several official documents piled up on it, Sha Cheng said: "This year, the emperor will open a special department for the examination, the original examination room of the Gongyuan is not enough, The new department needs a new location and schedule to avoid time conflicts with other departments."

Therefore, someone needs to go to the Gongyuan in person, contact the people below to clean up the scene, and solve the layout of the examination room. After all, there are three subjects in the entire imperial examination process, and each subject takes three days!

In addition, the examiners designated by the newly added subjects were still writing the questions, and Yinfeng had to send someone to contact the examiners, and bring the papers back to the Ministry of Rites for printing and sealing.

These were not difficult at all, but the difficulty was that Sa Hai took away half of the people, and the remaining civil servants were not enough to point out anyone to run errands.

Sha Cheng said again: "The candidates for the Imperial College this year accounted for half of the total number of candidates for the imperial examination. This year, the Imperial College has produced a large number of talents, but we cannot ignore the supervisors who are being trained."

"The Guozijian will hold a spring ceremony. This batch of supervisors will come to take the exam, and the next batch of supervisors will enroll."

So we have to contact Wang Shizhen, listen to Wang Shizhen's report, and prepare for the sacrificial etiquette of Guozijian.

This sacrificial ceremony imitates the ancient rituals in the "Tai Xue" in the Han Dynasty. When spring comes, sacrifice to God, pray for good weather this year, and pray for academic success, safety and health. The "opening ceremony" in the cartoon is almost the same, kicking off the new semester.

For the country's most important university, if the emperor wants to speak a few words in person, it will be even more troublesome, and more preparations will be required. This year, perhaps because of the addition of new departments, Kangxi is really planning to participate in the Imperial College sacrifice ceremony.

Yinfeng works in an orderly manner, he knows that Sha Cheng will not rest assured, and will definitely check on his progress repeatedly, so he opened the door of Sa Hai's office openly, and sent all the remaining subordinates left by Sa Hai one by one Solicit them, and count the work in their hands.

Some people can't get away, and if they have a scope of work in their own hands, don't move them.

Some people have spare energy, so they squeeze it hard, and squeeze the working time to every second.

The rest needs to be done by Yinreng himself. Yuzhu is a eunuch, so he is not suitable to meet Wang Shizhen, so Yinreng sent him to the Gongyuan to be in charge of setting up the examination room for the new examination.Xinyu used to run errands for Kangxi, accumulated rich experience, got acquainted with the courtiers, and belonged to the well-known Luan Yiwei, so Yinfeng sent him to contact Wang Shizhen, first listen to Wang Shizhen's report The situation of new interns.

Yinreng himself took Cao Zhen to look through the books and volumes of the Ministry of Rites, sorted out the records of the sacrificial ceremonies held in previous years, and deliberately compared the records of the number of people when Kangxi went to the Imperial College a few years ago, from the number of accompanying officials, to The number of guards responsible for security, as well as the etiquette norms among them, refer to the examples of previous years.

Yinfeng was in charge of reviewing the distribution of the number of people and the amount of money spent, and Cao Zhen was in charge of reviewing the etiquette regulations. The process is not clearly recorded, but everything follows the "Book of Rites". The records in the Book of Rites are vague, and because the Book of Rites is a book left by the Han Dynasty, some content records are not applicable to today's Qing Dynasty.

It is not easy to integrate this information. The amount of reading is so large that it is like finding a needle in a haystack. No matter how fast Yinfeng and Cao Zhen read, it is difficult to read through such a huge and complicated document in a short period of time. At this time, Xiaomei is needed to help Yinfeng "cheated"!

The system assisted scanning, told Yinrong where the keywords were, and then the two of them would look through them, and finally summarized the regulations of the ceremony in detail before dark.

Sha Cheng himself was so busy with so much work that he didn't touch the ground, and he was so angry at Wu Nuchun's efficiency. rushed over.

Before reaching the door of that room, I only heard Cao Zhen reading the recorded regulations aloud with a crisp voice, and even the details of the sacrificial ceremony were summed up in place.

Sha Cheng was very surprised, and hurried in, the prince's desk was full of various files and books, and Cao Zhen also opened a small table, the inkstone in front of the table still had dried ink.

Aunt Xu couldn't do anything, but she had great strength in one hand, and was responsible for moving the paperwork for them, and she could lift a stack of documents with one hand.

None of the other civil servants from the Ministry of Rites left, and they were all retained by the prince, who nicknamed them "work overtime".

Soon, Yuzhu came back and brought everyone hungry snacks for the evening, such as buns, siu mai, cakes, egg tarts, barbecue, juice, and milk tea.

Not every official is like Sha Cheng who works hard and stays to finish the work before leaving. It is like Wu Nuchun who leaves as soon as the time comes. It doesn't matter whether the work in hand can be finished. Distributed to subordinates.

All the officials present at the Department of Cleaning Up Officials assigned their own tasks to the prince. On average, each of them stayed to do half an hour more work. The work was not too tiring. The only thing that could make them obedient was the majesty of the prince's orders. In addition, there is another point, that is the interest...

This is the crown prince, the future emperor, no one dares to neglect, and even wants to flatter him.

The extra half an hour of overtime work is Yinreng's groping to squeeze the limit of the officials of the official system. Yinreng is just right, and his words are very beautiful. These, but let the dining room in Yuqing Palace make more food that can only be found in the palace to pad everyone's stomachs, this is possible.

Xiaomei has used all kinds of food to seduce Yinreng since she was a child, and she wants to lure Yinreng into being fooled. Who would have thought that Yinreng would not pay attention to food since he was a child?The only candied haws that I still like, my feelings for it faded after I grew up.

He doesn't pay much attention to it himself, but he likes to tease his younger brothers with these, especially likes to give the third elder brother Yinzhi the delicacies he has eaten.

For this reason, the chefs of the dining room in Yuqing Palace researched various dim sums, which Yinfeng had eaten in the system, and then asked the dining room to make them.

At this moment, the dining room came in handy, and the few etiquette officials who stayed to "work overtime" felt fresh.

As for the increase in salary, it has to be ordered by the emperor, and the Ministry of Households will allocate funds.

Yinfeng wrote his new "suggestion" memorial again, suggesting that Kangxi should increase his "overtime salary" for officials who were ordered to temporarily "work overtime" in order to overfulfill the task.

Seeing Sha Cheng coming, Yinreng talked to him about today's work progress.

"The examination venue in the Gongyuan has been decided, and another one is set up on the east side of the Jingyi examination venue. The craftsmen have been ordered to build another house, and servants are sent to clean it."

"The roster of new students from the Imperial College has been retrieved, and the number of students is the same as the roster."

"The charter of the sacrificial ceremony has just been checked, and all the adults are in the ceremony. It stipulates the number of people, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation."

When Yinreng talked about what he had done and what he had sent people to do, the order and logic were clear. It was a kind of enjoyment to listen to him and report. It should be crisp, neat, clear in numbers, and well-organized, so that the listener can feel comfortable, and the reporter can think smoothly.

Sha Cheng: "..."

The old man finally looked at Yinfeng with straight eyes. He thought that the emperor would throw the crown prince to him to "make trouble" for him and ask him to "take care of the children", but he didn't expect that the crown prince's ability to handle affairs is not bad? !

Not only is it good, the work that others need seven days to complete, the prince can finish in one day, probably because he knows how to employ people.

He knows how to use people he is familiar with, and he is also willing to use people he is not familiar with. He can find out what a person is good at in a short time together, and then arrange him in a suitable position. This is the ability of the prince!

"Master Sha, do you think there is any problem with these? If there is no problem, I will ask the subordinates to draft the report, and submit the charter early the next morning."

Sha Cheng stroked his beard and nodded: "There is no problem with the regulations."

He took a meaningful look at Yinfeng: it is also a kind of skill to be able to retain so many civil servants to do their work for half an hour longer.

"If there is no problem, that's the end of today's work. Thank you for your hard work. The meals delivered by the dining room are expensive because they are novelty, but they are not rare. If the adults think the taste is okay, eat more. Khan Ma advocates diligence and thrift, so it’s not good to waste it. Mr. Sha has been busy and hasn’t eaten or drank water yet, right?”

After being invited by Yinreng, Sha Cheng took the orange cake made from Gannan navel oranges to save face.

On the first day when he went to work in the Ministry of Rites, Yinreng left Sha Cheng with a calm and reliable impression. After seeing Yinreng's efficiency in handling affairs with his own eyes, Sha Cheng gradually relaxed, and gradually transferred most of the things that Sa Hai was originally responsible for to Yinfeng.

Kangxi also specially summoned Sha Cheng to the imperial court and asked him how the prince was doing.

Sha Cheng replied respectfully: "Your Highness is sensitive and studious, calm and humble."

He now somewhat understands why Tang Bin praised Yinreng so well, this heir of the Qing Dynasty is really outstanding!

Kangxi: "..."

Hearing his courtiers praise Yinreng, the emperor should have been happy, but the phrase "calm and humble" abruptly raised Kangxi's vigilance.

Will Yinreng be calm and humble?

No, based on Kangxi's understanding of his son, this is "the calm before the storm"!

On the other side, Yinreng, who finally let Sha Cheng lower his vigilance, went to meet the chief examiners of the examination, Huang Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhu Zhibi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Visiting Huang Ji, who is in charge of the examination of scriptures, Yinfeng was humble and respectful throughout the whole process, showing that it was entirely for the official business of the Ministry of Rites, and he came to Huang Ji for business affairs to discuss the details of the examination.

"During the Jingyi examination, candidates fainted in the examination room every time and could not continue to refer. In previous years, the imperial hospital would send two imperial physicians and eight physicians. Is it possible?"

Huang Ji is a good writer of stereotyped essays. After Kangxi abolished stereotyped essays, Huang Ji wrote the memorial to invite the restoration of stereotyped essays.

This civil official who had been in the Ministry of Rites transferred to the Ministry of Officials to be a minister. His style of work was more etiquette than Sha Cheng's.

Huang Ji showed reluctance and resistance to Kangxi's addition of new departments: "In the past, the emperor also set up special departments. Bo Hongru did not send additional imperial physicians during the scientific examination. How can we make an exception this time?"

Yinfeng nodded: "What Master Huang Ji said is that I have not thought about it. It is just a reference for literati. I am already weak, and this year is much colder than previous years. If you are worried about the health of literati in the world, you can increase the number of imperial physicians at your discretion." Accommodating? Bo Hongru will naturally increase the number of imperial physicians during the scientific examination, the purpose is also to prevent problems before they happen, if any outstanding talents are lost in the examination room, it will be a huge loss to the Qing Dynasty."

Huang Ji thought for a while, and he was quite acceptable to this, and pondered: "Your Highness's words are also reasonable, but you are asking this subject, why don't you ask the emperor?"

"Khan Ama sent Gu to the Ministry of Rites to do things for the purpose of seeing Gu's ability to handle affairs. Since Gu is doing these things, he must discuss with Master Huang and Master Zhu. As long as you two agree, Gu will go to the cabinet again. "

This is not a big deal at all, it is rare for the prince to care about the safety of the candidates, Huang Ji finally let go: "I can agree here."

So Yinreng bid farewell to Huang Ji, and went to find Zhu Zhibi again.

After seeing Zhu Zhibi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Yinreng asked him about sending more imperial physicians in a few words.

Zhu Zhibi is a capable man. Before the Qing Dynasty, local taxation was chaotic, reforming taxation, collecting taxes by collecting books, and dispatching the governor of water transportation to prevent local officials from colluding with local tyrants to oppress the people and other policies all came from his memorials.

He has been a minister of the Ministry of Industry for several years, and he is a capable person who is extremely sensitive to mathematics. Unfortunately, he is very old, at the age of 73, and he is still playing light and heat in his job, and he was promoted by Kangxi for this time. The chief examiner of the exam!

If you want to say who is the best at mathematics among the government and the opposition, Zhu Zhibi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, must be ranked in the top three.

Compared with Huang Ji, Mr. Zhu seems to be easier for Yinreng to get along with. He is chubby, with a white beard and long eyebrows, just like Santa Claus.

Kangxi was always paying attention to Yinreng's movements, and when he heard that he had visited the two chief examiners, he recruited Huang Ji and Zhu Zhibi one after another, and asked them what the crown prince wanted them to do.

It's fine to go to Zhu Zhibi, Huang Ji is rigid and strict, if he goes too far, there will be impeachment proceedings.

Huang Jixianda replied to Kangxi with a normal expression: "Your Highness came to look for the minister, in order to add an imperial physician to take care of you during the examination."

Kangxi frowned slightly: It's okay to add more imperial physicians, but it's a trivial matter.

When Zhu Zhibi arrived, he also said that it was to add new imperial physicians.

"only……"

Kangxi was startled: "Just what?"

"It's just that your highness gave me four books. These four books are exquisite, and they can be said to be works that have never been done before or since. They were copied by your highness. I believe that your highness has been taught by immortals, because from ancient times to the present, no one can read them. Talented to write four books like this."

Zhu Zhibi's eyes lit up, and once he talked about the fields he was good at and interested in, the old man's whole spirit changed.

Kangxi's face changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "There is no one before or after? What kind of book is that?"

Don't be a banned book!

Zhu Zhibi was fascinated by reading last night, recalling the profound and fascinating book, and said affectionately: "These four books are named "Primary School Mathematics", "Junior High School Mathematics", "High School Mathematics", "Five Years of Mathematics" "Three-year Simulation of the College Entrance Examination", the word 'College Entrance Examination' is very clever!"
