Ever since Zheng Xiong set up a printing factory and ran two businesses in order to produce movable type, Zheng Xiong stopped. It was difficult to make money in the system. The two losing businesses completely hit Zheng Xiong and lost his enthusiasm.
The books published by Ying Tianfu are of no use to Huimin Pharmacy. The doctors under his staff are somewhat educated and have studied some medical skills, or they have been passed down from generation to generation. I have some knowledge base, but not much. Ying Tianfu's books are not of much value to the pharmacy, so it is a complete loss.
Although there are no unique collections of medical books and classics in Taiyuan Hospital, they are large in quantity, widely circulated, and have strong universal applicability. Several more books can be printed and circulated within the pharmacy to increase the foundation of Huimin Pharmacy. Otherwise, these two knives are really a little bit Can't take it.
After another two days of busy work, the book was officially printed. All the materials were complete, and with the advantages of movable type printing, except for the initial typesetting, printing and proofreading, which was a bit rusty at the beginning, it was on the fast track and orderly, and Zheng Xiong no longer had to worry about it.
The progress of glass is steadily improving. Nowadays, experimental proportions are still the main focus. It is better to issue the journal every three months. It is really too time-consuming to travel, and three months is enough to cover the distance once and for all.
Zheng Xiong, who had resumed his salty life, could only lie on the recliner boringly and close his eyes to rest.
It seems that I have been absent from work for several days now. Lao Zhu has no reaction at all. The intelligence of this class is not good, maybe he has to do something.
Before Zheng Xiong could commit suicide, the official uniform and seal of the sixth grade were delivered, along with the news that Zheng Xiong's information had been entered into the palace, and he could go to the morning court tomorrow.
A bolt from the blue, Zheng Xiong had never thought about the morning problem.
In the early Ming Dynasty, all political affairs were handled by the public court, and "no affairs were neglected". Even in bad weather, the court was rarely avoided. In the third year of Hongwu (1370), "all officials are ordered to wear raincoats when encountering rain or snow when entering the court from now on." Even on the "anniversaries of death in various temples", people attend the pilgrimage as usual, but they change into light-colored clothes and do not ring the bells and drums. In case of a major funeral, the emperor would "take care of matters at the west corner gate".
When major ceremonial events are held, the court is exempted from the ceremony in the morning, and officials still have to rush back to attend the court after the event.
Lao Zhu also stipulated that all officials in Beijing could participate in the court meeting.
In the imperial meetings of the Yuan Dynasty, the only "second and third ministers" such as Zhongshu Sheng, Yushitai, Xuanzhengyuan, Privy Council, and "only a few" Qingxue Jinshi "were able to take action".
Undoubtedly, such a "court meeting" was not conducive to expanding the emperor's information sources. One of Zhu Yuanzhang's most important experience summarizing the Yuan Lord's Lost Deer was that the powerful ministers were deceived and the authority was reduced. He naturally regarded it as cheating and completely reformed it. . It should be said that the original intention of designing the court system in the Ming Dynasty was directly inspired by the narrow reception area of the court in the Yuan Dynasty.
However, these originally had little to do with Zheng Xiong. Lao Zhu's court meeting was mainly to restrict Zhongshu Sheng and Yushitai, and expand his information reception.
It has not reached the point where it was mandated after the fall of Hu Weiyong that representatives of ordinary people also participate.
Originally, the minor official positions of the eighth and ninth grades were in Yingtian Mansion. The emperor gave them a grade, and the Huimin Pharmacy in other places also had an establishment. There is Yingtian Mansion, a higher-level unit, and Taiyuan Hospital, which is in charge of the local Huimin Pharmacy. Huimin Pharmacy is not a particularly important yamen, so Zheng Xiong can go or not.
If you want to go, you can report to the palace in advance, and then you will be given a tooth tag. After registering with the tooth tag the next day, you can go to court. In other words, you will be asked to give your opinions. I don’t expect you to be able to solve anything.
If you don't take the initiative to report to a marginal government office like Zheng Xiong, who cares whether you go or not.
However, Huimin Pharmacy has been upgraded, and Zheng Xiong has also been promoted to the sixth grade. As the director of the pharmacy, you can no longer continue to be carefree. You are required to attend the daily morning meeting.
Of course, you can also ask for leave. The prerequisite for asking for leave is that you really can't let go. Otherwise, if someone makes a report, it will be a crime of bullying.
The morning dynasty, the afternoon dynasty, and the late dynasty are unique to Lao Zhu, and the lunar dynasty has been the basic dynasty since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Generally divided into morning and evening. In fact, the noon dynasty and the morning dynasty overlap. A morning dynasty can last until noon, and the afternoon dynasty is also acceptable.
The political arrangement of the morning and evening dynasties is as follows: "All the ministers will report in the morning dynasty. Those who have non-police and emergency matters do not need to go to the evening dynasty. They will be responsible for the duties of the managers. However, the general affairs secretary must report to the four directions in the morning and evening." In other words, in the late dynasty, the main purpose was to report "police urgent matters", and there was no need for all the officials to come to the dynasty; the only ones who had to go to court in the morning and evening were the general affairs officers in charge of the submission of the memorials.
This is really unfortunate. From now on, the leisurely life is gone. From now on, I have to get up at two or three in the morning and rush to the Meridian Gate to register, wait until five o'clock to go in for the meeting, and hold meetings until noon. It is really physically and mentally exhausted.
Only Lao Zhu can eat and have such prestige. Emperors of later generations did not have this prestige, and their subordinates would also take advantage of others. More and more people did not go to court, and the emperors were lazy. From then on, kings did not go to court early in the morning. The court meetings held by three dynasties a day were in vain, and they remained in the Shuo Wang Dynasty. Even this emperor did not want to attend. There were several emperors with this nature in the Ming Dynasty.
Listening to Li Si holding the official uniform that was delivered with him, his face was full of joy, triggering bursts of cheers. Although Huimin Pharmacy was upgraded, Zheng Xiong's mood became worse and worse, and he went out with a dark face to relax. .
There was no purpose along the way, just wandering around to relax and think. Such high-intensity work was really too much to bear, and there was no time to delay in seeking death.
Corruption is a red line. You can't touch it. Even the pills and iron coupons can't save your life.
Then it can only add to Lao Zhu's troubles. Lao Zhu is not an unreasonable person and cannot listen to good talk. As long as what you say is reasonable, there is no need to worry about your life.
Now I can only take it one step at a time, observe it for two days first, adapt to the situation, and then as long as Lao Zhu agrees and disagrees, and disagrees and agrees, just go against Lao Zhu, and within a few days, it will be beautiful when I masturbate for myself.
With the idea in mind, I felt a little better. I wandered all the way and unknowingly returned to my home. I just happened to get off work. After that, I asked the servant at home to bring my official uniform back. I will wear it to the meeting tomorrow, so I can't miss it.
I got up at two o'clock in the morning, washed and ate, then dozed off and rushed to the Meridian Gate.
It was past three o'clock when we arrived. I had been here several times and I was familiar with the steps. I walked towards the corner of the side hall where I rested. Unexpectedly, I saw two acquaintances shivering in the corner. In this weather, there was no brazier in the corner and it was freezing.
"Wu You, Li Si, why are you two here?"
Hearing Zheng Xiong's words, the two of them were overjoyed and quickly bowed and replied.
"Returning to your lord, the official uniforms arrived yesterday, and we reported for the court meeting. We thought we would come and experience it today. However, we are not familiar with each other at this court meeting, and we still need some advice from you, sir."
I only experienced this once, and I definitely don’t want to come here next time.
"I've only been here twice, so I'm not familiar with you. You must have asked the wrong person."
"My lord is joking."
These days no one believes the truth and ignores these two.
After staying in the corner for a while, it was really cold, so I leaned closer to the brazier. The official uniforms of the sixth rank were easy to identify, and those with lower official positions consciously gave way. I found a comfortable position to rest my mind, and waited for the morning meeting. .
