"Congratulations to Brother Dongfang, congratulations to Brother Dongfang!"
Zhang Xuezhou spent most of his time recently writing and writing, trying to complete the matter of seeking an official position.
Occasionally, he would go on duty in a restaurant.
When he met Sang Hongyang again, Sang Hongyang had a strange smile on his face.
This is because it is difficult for young people to hide their thoughts, and they want to say it but do not say it out, which leads to this appearance.
"Where does happiness come from?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"I heard that the officials recruited in the second batch were all transferred to Honglu Temple," Sang Hongyang reminded happily.
"Honglu Temple, this seems to be open to the outside world?"
"That's right, it's for the outside world, so these officials are all invited to the outside world!"
The new emperor dealt with this group of high-ranking officials who violated regulations very quickly, and the method of handling them was also difficult to object to.
The official was indeed given, and it was indeed an official from Chang'an City.
But this is a group of Beijing officials who are about to go on a mission to the evil country.
Whoever wants to replace someone must replace him with someone else, otherwise he will be responsible for the mission.
Anyone among these new officials who is unwilling to go on a mission to a dangerous country will have to bear the charge of bribery. This charge can be big or small, and it can kill their head directly. The small one is that they have performed meritorious service as an official and strive to get rid of this crime after the mission goes smoothly. Let the matter pass.
"this matter……"
"Whoever dares to say that His Majesty is pushing these people to their death is cursing the imperial envoys to fail when traveling." Sang Hongyang said: "There are some people here who have some background, but it is useless to have a background. No one can save it." !”
"I see!"
"So it's not necessarily a bad thing if this batch of officials get elected, and it's not necessarily a bad thing if they don't!"
"Yes, yes!"
"This second batch of people has been processed, and His Majesty really wants to recruit another batch of available officials, so Brother Dongfang's opportunity comes again. This opportunity may even be better than the previous two!"
Sang Hongyang brought the third wave of recruitment information.
The things he revealed were not completely confidential, but within a few days, they would surely spread in Chang'an City.
But his advance notice obviously sold well.
There is no monetary gain in selling Zhang Xuezhou well, but as long as Zhang Xuezhou is in a good mood, it is undoubtedly interesting for the two of them to discuss some interesting arithmetic problems.
And it did give him some opportunities to get ahead among the palace attendants.
"In a few days, when the Jingzhaoyi Mansion issues another official document, I will go over and deliver it again," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
As long as you experience things a few times, everything will become calm.
Zhang Xuezhou has little experience in being an official, but he is obviously familiar with the process of seeking an official position, and he is no longer anxious or anxious.
Generally speaking, if it doesn't work once, then twice, and if it doesn't work twice, then three times. As long as the court recruits officials according to this model, he will have to get involved sooner or later.
"I wonder if this opportunity is better?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"I'm not completely sure, I just have a hunch in my heart," Sang Hongyang said: "As long as you don't use bribery to become an official, you don't have to worry about being sent to the mission to make up for the numbers!"
"That's true!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
He had just finished taking care of Zhang Qian and Wu Chao's affairs regarding the mission. Even if he was included in the mission, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his problem would not be big.
Of course, it would be better not to be included in the mission. After all, he came to Chang'an City to be a capital official, not to do hard work.
The Sang Hongyang in front of him was relatively well-informed in the palace, but in the end he was defeated because he was young and was not as keen on some court matters as those veteran ministers.
"It's a pity that Mr. Dong is not in Chang'an City. Dr. Gongsun, who stayed to look after us, is unreliable. As for Li Guang, who ran away at the first sight, let's not talk about it!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought about his connections in the imperial court and realized that all of them were weak and none of them had a stable source of information.
He was not afraid of not being an official, but Zhang Xuezhou was afraid that the new emperor would create some messy officials.
It's enough to enter Honglu Temple as an envoy. If you really want to be thrown into a border fortress and other places as a clerical official, it will be difficult to stand up.
"By the way, now that the weather is getting colder, there are probably very few farmers selling millet. I wonder if Brother Dongfang will have other businesses in the future!"
After talking about it for a while, Zhang Xuezhou asked another interesting arithmetic question.
When Sang Hongyang was satisfied with this, he reciprocated the favor and began to mention that it was difficult for shops to do millet business in winter.
Not to mention that Zhang Xuezhou is not easy to do, not even Sang Hongyang can resell him.
But for people like them, as long as they have a bright mind, business is everywhere.
Sang Hongyang felt that if he could only work in the millet business for another ten and a half days, he would switch to the cloth and silk business.
If Zhang Xuezhou can apply for a shop selling cloth to purchase silk, twine, etc., he can still have in-depth binding cooperation with Zhang Xuezhou.
"We have to be busy storing grain seeds next!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the signboard of the restaurant.
Although they harvest grain and resell it, their store actually sells seeds. Whether they can sell them at a good price next year is another matter.
"Grain planting is a very good thing." Sang Hongyang thought for a few seconds before replying: "The national treasury and various localities also screen grain for planting all year round, but I have seen that it is not as good as the seeds you have here. If anyone knows how to do it, the seeds you have here will be better." You should be able to sell the grain at a good price!”
Sang Hongyang knows how to buy and sell at the price difference, but is not proficient in agriculture.
However, Sang Hongyang felt that the grain grains in the column were full, and there was a big difference in converting the weight and capacity using the amount of millet. It was even higher than the grain ratio inspected by Xinti during his inspection, which made him feel that everyone was seeds are even better.
"We are all a small business, how can we sell it at a good price?" Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile: "But if more people use these good seeds to grow grain, there will be more people selling grain in the coming year. Maybe we will collect the grain and resell it to You can also get a few more stones!”
"Next year, sell grain and get a few more shi!"
Sang Hongyang thought for a few seconds, then nodded.
"You mean if you grow food well, you will have a good harvest, right?" Sang Hongyang asked.
"If the seeds are good, the survival rate of the seedlings will be high, but whether they can grow into crops and have a good harvest is still a long process, and there are many surprises, so the harvest cannot be completely guaranteed," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"I understand a little bit if you say that." Sang Hongyang nodded and smiled awkwardly: "It's embarrassing to say that, although there are a lot of millet, how does millet grow? Is there anything that needs to be paid attention to?" Not sure!"
"It's not a shame," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "There are many people who have eaten pork but never seen pigs running away. It's normal to not understand agriculture!"
"Well, I haven't seen a pig that can run either!"
Sang Hongyang spread his hands to show that he was indeed a layman in agriculture.
Zhang Xuezhou learned a lot of palace news from him, and Sang Hongyang also learned some things that he had never been exposed to normally.
He put aside the business of collecting twine and silk together, and was inevitably ready to ask Zhang Xuezhou for advice on farming.
In the palace, the new emperor has recently become interested in farming matters. As long as he knows more relevant knowledge and can intervene, Sang Hongyang is likely to become closer to the new emperor.
"To be honest, I don't know much about it either!"
Zhang Xuezhou can grow a few pots of flowers and plants that don't require much care, and he can also plant crops in modern agriculture that don't require much care, but he is also a novice in the agriculture of this world.
The fragility of seeds that have not been genetically modified is beyond people's imagination. If they are not selected, the germination rate will be a problem.
It is common for a large area to be killed by wind and rain after germination. It is also necessary to prevent pests and other disasters. There are far more things to pay attention to than in reality.
If planting is carried out according to the experience of modern agriculture, Zhang Xuezhou thinks that as many crops as possible will die.
"But you can ask our third boss here!"
Seeing that Sang Hongyang was really interested in this aspect, he directly recommended Xu Yuan.
"It seems that His Majesty is really concerned about whether people outside Chang'an City will starve to death this winter!"
Sang Hongyang is very good at mental arithmetic. This kind of person can calculate everything clearly and will not do meaningless things.
For example, millet trading, related arithmetic problems, and now it also involves agricultural planting and other content.
If Zhang Xuezhou guessed correctly, the emperor in the palace should also be interested in these things.
He did not cut off Sang Hongyang's beard. Instead, he recommended Xu Yuan and asked Sang Hongyang to ask Xu Yuan for more agricultural knowledge.
"Something big happened in the court!"
When Rong Tianding and Xu Yuan, who were out collecting food, returned, Zhang Xuezhou did not recommend Xu Yuan to Sang Hongyang, but only listened to the two chattering.
"Wei Qihou Dou Ying became the prime minister, Wu'an Hou Tianfan became the Taiwei, Zhao Wan became the Yushi doctor, and I heard that people from Jiuqing were also replaced!"
Above the court, a new round of officials took over again.
Zhang Xuezhou has only met Tian Fu, but he also knows the other two.
According to the information Dong Zhongshu learned, Wei Qihou Dou Ying was from the lineage of the Empress Dowager, Wu'an Hou Tianfu was from the lineage of the Empress Dowager, and Zhao Wan was from the lineage of Confucian Shen Peigong.
All the top three official positions in the imperial court were replaced, and even the nine ministers were involved. This was indeed a major earthquake in the official class.
Even the most adept at following trends will find it difficult to keep up this time.
There was one scene in the court, and another scene outside the court.
For Zhang Xuezhou and others, this wave of personnel earthquakes is likely to bring about another vacancy of officials.
