In the early morning, after breakfast, Zheng Xiong wandered to the staff department to report. I woke up early and had nothing to do, so I had eaten enough.
The Ministry of Personnel "is in charge of the selection, honors, and examinations of officials in the world. It has three branches: the first is the headquarters, which is in charge of literary selection; the second is the Department of Honors, which is in charge of the official system; and the third is the Ministry of Merits, which is in charge of assessment."
After merging the memories of this life and hearing about it while chatting with a few classmates, I went straight to Si Xunbu.
There were only a few people in the office hall of Si Xunbu. The world was in chaos and there was a shortage of talents. Today is the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. Although there are many candidates, they are basically immersed in preparing for the next year's imperial examination. If they win the imperial examination, they will start at a higher level. People like Zheng Xiong who won the examination will go directly to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report Basically no.
In one case, Lao Zhu had never suffered a loss, and now he did not realize that the officials selected by the imperial examination had little effect. He had not stopped the imperial examination for more than ten years and adopted the recommendation system. Therefore, there are not many people in Si Xun's department at this time.
The service hall submitted his identity information, and the clerk completed the registration. All that was left was to wait for the chief to confirm the information with the headquarters and then come back to talk to Zheng Xiong. It would be almost an hour. There are few people, but the efficiency is quite high.
Everyone in the Ministry of Personnel also knew the news. It was rare for people who had just passed the imperial examination to report directly to the Ministry of Personnel without waiting for the next year's examination.
The clerk led Zheng Xiong to the principal's room, which was the office, and had a formal conversation.
"What do you think about being an official? What are your requirements? There is a shortage of people everywhere now. What are your requirements? We will consider them as appropriate."
"I don't have any opinion on being an official. Just do your job well. It's best to work from 9 to 5 and be able to take charge of one's affairs. No one from above will take care of it. It's best to be close to home."
After listening to Zheng Xiong's words, the boss almost didn't have a fit on the spot. The official department has always been responsible for the distribution and appointment of officials in the world. He didn't just come to give gifts and gain relationships, but he also made so many demands.
There is also a shortage of people, and this is the first imperial examination. Those who have achieved fame and fame are watched from top to bottom. It is even rarer for a candidate to directly become an official, otherwise he will have to be given a big blow.
Patiently, the boss thought about it for a while.
"You can be a magistrate of a small county, but it's far away, and the others can't meet the requirements of the party you're in charge of. Let me see if there are any vacancies in Yingtian Mansion, and you can choose it yourself." , the chief took a stack of files and put them in front of the table.
Zheng Xiong came closer, picked it up and took a look. Near Nanjing, there were no vacancies for chief officers and adjutants. Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Department were also junior adjutants. They had to start cooking early every day, and they also had to serve tea and water when they went in. It was really Didn't see it.
After reading from beginning to end, Zheng Xiong noticed one thing. Huimin Pharmacy was assigned to Yingtianfu, which originally had no rank. Because it belonged to Yingtianfu, and Tai Hospital was not affiliated with each other, so it was given a ninth rank and was under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu. , Lao Zhu also issued a decree recently, so the yamen does not exist yet and has to be built by itself.
But there is a lot of autonomy.
Huimin Pharmacy, the name of an ancient medical institution. Huimin Pharmacy was an institution during the Yuan and Ming dynasties that the government used official money to finance and collect market medicines to relieve diseases of the poor. In the ninth year of Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty (1237), Yanjing and other ten groups set up a bureau, with Yu Tian Kuokuo, imperial doctors Wang Bi, Qi Ji, etc. as medical officers. In the second year of Zhongtong (1261), Shizu ordered Wang You to start the game again. In the same year, the Dadu Huimin Bureau was established, ranking from the fifth level. In the fourth year of Zhongtong's reign (1263), the Shangdu Huimin Division was established, with a supervisor and a commander. In May of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1266), Chitai Hospital received Huimin Pharmacy. Following the Yuan system in the Ming Dynasty, Huimin Pharmacy was established in the third year of Hongwu (1370), with the government setting up Tiling and the prefectures and counties setting up official doctors. All soldiers and civilians who are poor and sick are given medicine.
That is to say, the medical insurance in ancient my country usually collected medicines from local governments and counties and provided medicines to the people at low or even affordable prices. During the epidemic, we have to cooperate with the government to provide free medicine to the people, but the advantage is that we have greater autonomy, and there is nothing more suitable than this.
"I've already made my choice. Huimin Pharmacy is a good place. It's close to home. I wonder if there will be any trouble."
Hearing that Zheng Xiong chose Huimin Pharmacy, the director was also quite surprised. Orthodox officials were either sent out to other places or hung around in six departments, so there was a lot of room for improvement. It was rare for Zheng Xiong to choose Huimin Pharmacy with no future at first sight. He felt relieved when he thought of appointing someone to become an official directly, and he didn't want to persuade him. The first impression was very bad.
"Okay, His Majesty Huimin Pharmacy has decreed that there will be no delay. I will submit the information to you. You can come over tomorrow. It will almost be done."
"Thank you, sir. I'll bother you again tomorrow."
The next day, Zheng Xiong came to the staff department. In addition to the chief officer, he also met Yuan Wai Lang. Yuan Wai Lang also came to see him, but without saying much, the junior official led Zheng Xiong to Yingtian Mansion to hand over the matter. At the same time, Zheng Xiong's name was also spread in a small area.
When I came to Yingtian Mansion, the Yingtian Mansion Governor at this time was Zheng Yiyan. Zheng Yiyan had just taken office. Yingtian Mansion was in dire straits. It was short of money, manpower, and everything. Affairs everywhere were so busy that they hurriedly met with Zheng Yiyan. Xiong met him, chatted for a few words, and then asked his subordinate officials to take him away.
The official and Zheng Xiong chatted casually for a few words. Huimin Pharmacy was newly established, and Zheng Xiong's official uniform and official seal were not ready. Today was just for handover and selection of a place.
The address will not be in the inner city, but ordinary people will also be in the outer city. So there is nothing to say about the address. Zheng Xiong was also happy with this. The further away the better, it would be easier to catch fish.
However, as a political center, Nanjing will be a cultural and economic center with a population of millions. Zheng Xiong, who came from a later generation, saw his subordinate officer take out a map of Nanjing. The first thing he thought of was to enclose the land. It didn't matter if it was a little off, the land must be large enough.
"Zheng Tiling, the map of Nanjing is here. The borderlands are all marked. See which one you like."
After reading it carefully, Zheng Xiong knew what he was talking about, but he still asked the subordinate officer.
"Huimin Pharmacy is for people to afford medicines, for epidemic prevention, and to stock up on medicinal materials. The place should be large enough, preferably the entire site, so that there is no need to spread too much energy. I wonder if there are any places you can recommend?"
"There are quite a lot of unclaimed lands now. The only ones connected together are the east part of the city and the west part of the city. I don't know how much land Zheng Tiling wants." The subordinate officer pointed out the two areas on the map to Zheng Xiong.
Looking at the two areas on the map, I thought for a while. Now the prices are skyrocketing. When it comes to paying back the money, I need to open my mouth first, and then I can bargain. He refers to the two large areas in the east and west of the city.
"I want both pieces."
"This won't work. The two pieces of land add up to thousands of acres. It's too big. At most, we can choose a thousand acres of land in the south and west of the city." The subordinate officer was shocked. No matter how ignorant he is, the world is determined. The value of this land must be With so much land rising, even if it is all meat in the same pot, the lion cannot be allowed to open its mouth.
Hearing this, Zheng Xiong also understood that this might be the bottom line. It should be mentioned when it should be mentioned. It is important to strive for more. Although it is not his own, he feels a sense of accomplishment just looking at it.
"Your Majesty is talking about the one thousand acres of land in the east of the city. However, in order to benefit the people, I hope to build a site in the outer city, each with about a hundred acres."
"Here, there are three hundred acres more land. I can't make the decision. It still depends on what Mr. Fu Yin wants. Come with me to see Mr. Fu Yin."
Following the subordinate officials, I met the governor. The subordinate officials told Zheng Xiong his thoughts one by one, and Zheng Xiong also expressed some thoughts.
Governor Zheng Yiyan frowned slightly and then spoke.
"It doesn't matter if I give you the land. I have no money. I was planning to give you 10,000 guan. The pharmacy can make a smaller one, which is enough. It's good to have an idea. The rest is up to you."
Zheng Yiyan was also a little helpless. This Huimin Pharmacy was useless. Since the Song Dynasty, it had no political achievements and was still a drag. It took a lot of effort to get the ten thousand yuan. If Lao Zhu hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have thought of this. Then I thought of something and continued
"After the official seal is completed, you can find a place to work here. Regarding the construction, you can go to the Ministry of Industry to discuss it yourself. The deputy ministers have to wait for the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel. You recruit the chief and deputy medical officers first. They have establishments but no grades or salaries. If Ying Tianfu comes out, I won't care about other officials. I don't have money, so you can worry about it yourself."
Zheng Xiong was speechless when he heard this. He said that he had nothing but land. He had three men, which was definitely not enough. He had to recruit people himself, not to provide for the elderly, but to make cattle and horses.
Reluctantly returning to "yes"
