[Current task: professional knowledge learning - (100/100)]

Year after year, life in the Banking Bureau was uneventful, and occasionally I could receive letters from Second Brother Ji. Ji Mo was doing well, and he could also learn about the situation at home from Second Brother Ji's heart.

Brother Ji’s sons didn’t learn the art of silversmithing, and they stopped learning from Brother Ji. Father Ji also said before that he would teach his grandson, but how many children can bear the hardship of learning, like Ji Mo back then? When I was older, my fingers were still tender, and if I accidentally touched the silver thread, I would be pricked and hurt. I cried and cried, but I was still willing to learn. Looking at the production room was like looking at a small dark room.

Brother Ji's son follows his father's son, which is also of the same type. Of course, there will be more children in the future, so they may not like to learn from his grandfather. It's a pity that Father Ji didn't wait for such a grandson to be born.

Ji Mo, who Ji Fu placed high hopes on, never wanted to start a family.

In the past, some old friends of Ji's father in the Banking Bureau, those uncles would still talk about Ji Mo, asking him to marry a wife and have children to pass on his skills. They can't say anything.

It's not the father, after all, it's a layer away, so it's nothing more than a suggestion, if he really dictates the decision, I'm afraid it will be annoying.

In terms of interpersonal communication, they were better than Ji Mo. Ji Mo only refused twice, and it didn't take three times for everyone to quit.

On the other hand, Kong Zheng, who was still young and cheap, was introduced by others, and he didn't hesitate. He got married when it was time to get married, and he married the daughter of a craftsman's family. She grew up in the yard here. Not that much to fault.

Later, he went with Kong Zheng to visit the clan uncle who had met him, and later, he gave birth to two sons for Kong Zheng.

Then in a blink of an eye, Kong Zheng's son can also look around, doing small jobs for the master he likes to learn skills.

Ji Mo has no other relatives here. Kong Zheng always came to talk to him at the beginning, and then he took him to eat with him like his own brother. Ji Mo is not that unkind. He was short of a mouthful of food, but he couldn't eat for a long time, so he simply took a part of his monthly routine and gave it to Kong Zheng.

Kong Zheng refused to take it at first, and only said that if Ji Mo wanted to give it, he looked down on him.

"I think highly of you, but you can't let me always eat for free. It's not that I can't afford it. I have to give what I have to give. Even my brothers, I have to be refreshed."

When Ji Mo said so, Kong Zheng had no choice but to accept it.

It is not that there is no cafeteria for everyone to eat in the bank office, but whoever eats the big pot dishes in the cafeteria knows, and it will be fine for a day or two. Get some staple food of steamed buns and rice from there. If you want to taste the dishes, you still have to cook them yourself.

When Kong Zheng was a bachelor, he ate in the cafeteria with Ji Mo. He also had to eat for a few days, and he ate outside for a few days. With a family, he saved the cost of going outside, and his wife cooked the food.

In ancient times, men were superior to women, and brothers and friends were closer than wives. Kong Zheng asked Ji Mo to eat every day, and no one could tell what was wrong.

But Ji Mo was afraid that there would be a rift between the husband and wife, so he simply paid for the meal with money.

"In my family, my parents are gone, and I am the only one left. I just need to live in the bureau for the elderly. I don't want to do anything in the future. How much can I eat and spend? It doesn't make much sense, if you really treat me as a brother, just keep it for me, and let your son give me a ride in the future."

Ji Mo said it from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't pay much attention to what happens after death, but the times are different, and people these days do.

Hearing what he said, Kong Zheng wanted to adopt his own son to him. It could be seen that he really regarded Ji Mo as a brother after all the years of getting along.

"No, it's fine for your family to be good. I don't even know how to raise children here. It's better like this. My nephew is also my son, so there won't be any barriers."

The ancient rules are very strict. Once the adoption is made, the former parents are no longer parents. Not only the front, but also the queen can't be wrong.

"Don't you know what a stepson is like? It's better to be like this than to have no brothers to help. Our relationship can never go wrong."

Ji Mo lived an open-minded life. His mind was different from that of the pure ancients. Kong Zheng felt a lot of emotion when he heard it. He was still young when he was adopted, but he also knew something. ah!How could he have the heart to let his son follow suit.

He didn't want to talk about Ji Mo, so he didn't talk about it anymore, but the relationship between the two of them became better. Kong Zheng told his son more than once that he would be filial to Ji Mo in the future, and didn't expect anything else, some helpers with heavy work, so as not to desolate.

During these years, the dynasty has also changed two emperors, and even the appearance of the accessories required in the palace has changed twice. It is always normal for an emperor to have a preference, just follow suit.

The pearlescent color that was once very popular has long since passed away. Nowadays, the emperor likes luxury the most. The more magnificent the color is, the more popular it is.

The purple color of Kong Zheng became popular, but it was not as good as any gem inlay. Fortunately, Ji Mo's skills are also very good in this respect, and he did not fall outside the first echelon.

Those who can't, if the young ones still want to learn, the old ones just ignore it, they can't make things that the emperor likes, they can always make some ordinary little things, just like Ji Mo saved time and used them directly They can do the same as carving skills to make rings and bracelets.

As long as there is something to teach, it's not that the bank is supporting the idlers, so they can continue to eat this bowl of rice.

In addition to the change of the emperor, there are also several times when the princess is married. It’s okay if the marriage is close. In terms of equipment, not only the banking bureau needs to send people, but also the weaving side, and there are also many butlers for farming, and there are many of them, all of which must be matched.

Ji Mo only knew that the one who married far away was the princess who wanted to marry. The emperor picked and picked, and really brought a lot of technical talents. Ji Mo, who knew the news, could only sigh. Isn't this an enemy?

Oh, you can't say that, what if the princess is so powerful that she directly becomes the queen there?

Some went out, and some came in, plus the children born after the original craftsmen of the Banking Bureau got married, even if not all of them learned the skills, they ensured the growing growth of the Banking Bureau.

Seeing that this organization is becoming more and more bloated, Ji Mo is always thinking in his heart that he can't say when the staff will be laid off, otherwise, how can the court afford it!

This is true for a bank office, so what about other places?

This "concern for the country and the people" mentality didn't last long, and after thinking about it occasionally, he gave up. Ji Mo felt that he was just a small person, and he really couldn't control so many things.

When the Banking Bureau changed a superior official and said that he would be assessed and determined by the ranking of the assessment, Ji Mo felt at ease and had a feeling of "it really came".

"Tell me, I've been doing this all my life, and now I'm too blind to do anything good. He's taking the test, what a fart!"

Kong Zheng didn't say anything outside, found Ji Mo here, closed the door and complained.

Ji Mo is also an old man now. Hearing this, he sighed, "Who doesn't take the exam?"

How did you succeed in filling up numbers? Isn’t it because you don’t take exams?It is serious to pass the exam now, and it is also a good way to reduce the number of personnel. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as fair.

Otherwise, if you directly decide which people will be dismissed, outsiders will be at a loss when they see it. Now, even if they die, they will understand it, which is not bad.

Like Kong Zheng, Ji Mo has the same problem. As he gets older, his eyes and hands can't keep up. This is the inevitable result of aging, but it cannot be used as an excuse for failing the examination.

Kong Zheng is even better. His two sons are up-to-date, and they must be used as silversmiths. Even if Kong Zheng fails the examination and is kicked out, he will not really have no place to live. There is no need to worry about pension issues.

On Ji Mo's side, there isn't even a single person who can help him. Ji Mo has also saved some of the inexhaustible monthly silver, but he wants to buy a yard or something outside. The price of land in Beijing is very high. I'm afraid I really can't afford it.

Kong Zheng grumbled for a while, but didn't say anything else. They couldn't change what the Shangguan had decided. They could only talk small things behind their backs and complain, and then they had to obediently go to the assessment.

The content of the assessment is not complicated. Everyone has to come up with their own level and make a hairpin. There is no requirement for how precious it is, and there is no standard for how complicated it is. It depends on your own level, and you can hand in whatever you want. up.

Ji Mo is doing tired silk. It is no exaggeration to say that his eyes are not good now, and he always seems to have double images when he sees things. He can't see clearly when he is far away, but there are some things that he can see with his eyes closed. Do, and even "see" more clearly.

It was a very mysterious feeling, and he thought it might be the so-called "spiritual consciousness", ahem, spiritual power.

It can be used, it is easy to use, but it only replaces the sense of sight, and cannot play other greater roles. It is a bit tasteless, and it is not bad for his current situation.

On the day of the assessment, Shangguan also came over and looked around to see the situation of each person's production. Each craftsman had a table with various materials piled up on one corner and various small tools on the other. A pair of hands held various tools and tools. The materials are combined with "assembly", and various small things are formed soon.

Shangguan came around every day, paying special attention to those who were older. Obviously, they were the main targets of the resignation.

Among them, Ji Mo has gradually become the most eye-catching one. Unlike other people who trembled their hands, unlike other people who cannot see clearly, he has to take his time. His movements maintain an inherent rhythm, methodical, and he never misses it. Things, did not stop at any link to think for a long time, rummaged for a long time, every time was extremely accurate, if you reset everything, it is easy and comfortable.

It is actually more important than many young people.
