    Later, Lu Hong learned through Qin Tianmin that there was a fundamental reason why he seemed to be hit by a big pie this time. The majestic Qing Dynasty had a huge bureaucracy, but in fact,  Only those who have actual official positions with absolute power in their hands are the ones that most legitimate officials are willing to take. As for the so-called military discipline inspection mission like this one, although it is quite high-level in name, it is downright serious.  Sent by the imperial envoy.  However, because the Military Discipline Camp was not actually recognized by the top management of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was only Old Man Weng who was doing this thing with great enthusiasm. Due to his position and influence as the emperor's division chief and chief assistant, Emperor Guangxu and the elders of the West Palace  The woman also agreed to supervise military discipline. This kind of assignment is likely to be a temporary assignment. Except for those high-ranking generals, I am afraid that few people would be willing to intervene in this matter The higher-ups were not happy that day, so maybe this assignment would be a direct one.  If it is abolished, Lu Hong, who came through donations and went from being a sixth-grade candidate to working in a real job, will become an unemployed young man.  In fact, the officials who were in short supply at this time were not valued at all by those officials who were taking the imperial examination, and they did not have the social status that people in later generations expected officials to have. Unless they had something to do, they could still hang out with some big officials.  In order to have food to eat, other officials who donated to the government, such as Qin Tianmin and others, had no other way to survive except for actual errands.  After Qin Tianmin explained it carefully to Lu Hong, his suggestion was actually to follow Huang Tifang's route and see if he could let go of local officials with actual duties, instead of this kind of temporary and high risk of unemployment However,  Lu Hong didn't seem to be worried at all, and instead spoke to him, "Brother Qin, this is a very promising job. Although I am not familiar with Wang Renkan, I have asked Huang Gong privately about the number one scholar.  He has a very good character, and the errand this time has to be done by someone who can be controlled by the court. On the contrary, I feel like a duck in water, and I can do it with ease, and this is an opportunity for us to make more connections.  You and I both have to be careful!" Seeing that Lu Hong was determined to take this seemingly worthless official path, Qin Tianmin didn't say much. After the two discussed it in detail, he returned to his bedroom.  , and considering that late at night, he received a telegram from his brother Qin Xiaocheng in the past few days. The small industrial coal mine in Fei County was very prosperous, which somewhat relieved the previous worries about debts. Although Lu Hong did not find a local job, he  Soaring full of energy, he immediately corrected his mentality This might be another way out for him.  The next day, Qin Tianmin led Lu Hong to the official office. The money he had spent here was not in vain. After receiving the 1,200 taels of silver notes and 200 taels of profit, he received a letter from the official official office.  The license of Sixth Grade Zhou Tong was obtained quickly, and the clerk of the Ministry of Personnel who received the profit directly told Lu Hong that the documents sent by the Military Discipline Supervision Department of the Military Aircraft Department had arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, and he had been sent by the Imperial Envoy Wang Ren  It's worthy of the inscription. All he needs to do is get his actual work license in a few days Why did Qin Tianmin smile and say nothing when he walked out of the official department a few days later?  When he turned around and explained to Lu Hong, Lu Hong was sweating again. The entire central system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could be said to be the most concentrated place of power in the world. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty lived in Beijing. At that time, people regarded the imperial city as the root of the empire.  The land below is called "The Best Zone". The base of this imperial city is naturally the best place in the world. It is natural that the most prestigious and knowledgeable people in the world are called "Wang Zuozhishi", and they should all gather here.  this.  The problem is that most of the people in the world are actually more passionate about parallel prose and poems, or they are busy with official visits and catering to the old lady in the palace. However, in this capital where hundreds of rivers converge, there are a lot of people from all over the country every day.  Things have to be dealt with, which creates another power system in Beijing - the so-called "three-rank officials of the Beijing people" Beijing men!  Those born and raised, Eight Banners disciples who eat hard-core crops, or the "Old Beijing" men with hereditary influence, simply look down on the path of examinations and officialdom, thinking that it is tiring and does not bring money!  They have an easy and lucrative job to do: as scribes, clerks in major government offices.  The scribes in Beijing are an extremely powerful class. Speaking of it, they are actually just clerks in the six departments and major yamen in the capital. Their daily work is to be responsible for the exchange of official documents in the yamen, copying and writing, and also executing some yamen tasks.  After listening to the miscellaneous government affairs, Lu Hong felt that the secretaries of the leaders of his era in later generations were somewhat similar, but the scribes of this era were not like the secretaries of later generations. They were selected at all levels And these six ministries and each  The clerks of the big government offices held unexpectedly huge power. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the wealth of the clerk class was far beyond people's imagination. The so-called three years to clear the prefecture and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, for these  For scribes, it is definitely an easy job to make a living. For example, Qin Tianmin is taking the path today, Xi Teku, a scribe with a yellow flag background, can earn at least a few hundred taels just from the license issued by Lu Hong.  , among whichAfter excavation, which part should be taken away by the officials above him.  Lu Hong listened to Qin Tianmin's explanation like a story, and finally smacked his lips. He looked at Qin Tianmin and saw that this man had worked hard to get an official position but was short of money. In comparison, this third-grade man in Beijing was nothing.  It was so nourishing. This is really irritating when people compare with others However, Qin Tianmin is much more dedicated than him. Seeing his weird expression, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he reminded: "Brother Lu, where is Wang Renkan?  I think you should go and pay a visit now. From now on, he will be your superior, and all your affairs will have to be taken care of by him. This social etiquette is indispensable!" "I'm going to pay a visit to your superior, and bring some gifts along the way!  , we have experienced this in later generations, we understand Lu Hong smiled slightly, and asked modestly and inappropriately: "Brother Qin, isn't this Wang Renkan a Qingliu general? Shouldn't this gift be simpler"  As soon as these two sentences came out, he saw Qin Tianmin grinning, and he immediately realized that there was something wrong. Fortunately, Qin Tianmin rolled his eyes, touched his neatly trimmed short beard, and said with a smile: "  Brother Lu has really been studying abroad for too long. In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, there are long-established rules regarding respect for Shangguan and socializing among colleagues. Naturally, these things cannot be included in the list of corruption. After all, Shangguan also has the same  There are also higher-ups who want to pay a visit to the party! " It turns out that it is a rule for my subordinates to give money. If they don't give it, they are not following the rules After careful questioning, he understood something. In fact, the bigger factor lies in this.  In this era, officials from all over the country had huge staff teams. It was impossible for officials to cover these expenses just by relying on salaries, stipends, and money to support their integrity. Other invisible incomes have become even more serious in today's completely corrupt system Even though  Famous ministers such as Lin Zexu, Zuo Zongtang, and Zeng Guofan also followed the trend, not to mention Wang Renkan!  In fact, Lu Hong's scope of communication before was limited. He was helping Wu Daqiu earn money as a staff member, so there was no need to give him any gifts. To Huang Tifang, he was just a fancy disciple and did not exist.  This official entanglement, not to mention that he is truly an official, actually only started today!  In the afternoon, after Qin Tianmin prepared the gifts, Lu Hong went to Wang Renkan's house to pay a visit to his superior. In fact, the two of them had met twice before, but with the current relationship between superiors and subordinates, this was the first time.  After sending the gift list, Wang Renkan accepted it without even looking at it. It was obvious that Lu Hong was well versed in the ways of officialdom. There was an expression of approval on the thin face of the champion man. He was unsophisticated. For those who wanted to integrate into this era, he was absolutely  It was not a good thing. He touched a few short strands of beard under his chin. After some polite remarks, he quickly got down to business.  "Lu Yunpan, I have gone to the palace to meet with the emperor today. The emperor is very concerned about this matter. The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lang Zhirui, has left the capital according to the order, so we have to make the trip as soon as possible Mr. Weng Ge, Li  Your Excellency and Huang Yushi are very optimistic about you, so you have to think more carefully and get this job done well!" Wang Renkan said business, but he dropped his previous politeness and put on a serious look.  Lu Hong's later generations also had experience in the military and officialdom, so they naturally understood what Shangguan needed most. Wang Renkan had already heard Qin Tianmin, Huang Tifang, and Huang Shaoji mention it before. He was a world-famous figure in his early years, and  Among Qingliu, there is also a profound background. Chen Baochen, the most famous Qingliu general outside Qingliu's four admonitions at that time, was the so-called "Tail of Qingniu". He was as famous as "Qingniu Two Corners" Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Peilun.  The character is none other than Wang Renkan¡¯s brother-in-law.  He immediately said seriously and sincerely: "Scholar Wang, this mission to improve military discipline is related to the country's national affairs. If you have orders, I will work diligently!" Seeing Lu Hong's statement, Wang Renkan was also satisfied.  Nodding, he stood up and took out an official document from the bookshelf behind him and put it on the table, "Lu Hong, I have read the copy you wrote to Mr. Weng before. The arguments and plans are very new. I  I have talked with Mr. Weng. I am afraid that this trip will not be possible without manpower. Your Majesty has authorized 10 attendants and 50 brave soldiers. I heard that you have studied in the Western Military Academy. I will leave it to you to take care of these things! " Lu Hong didn't do it either!  Thinking about taking on such an errand today, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Wang Renkan was very generous and he could be said to be quite letting go of himself. He asked some detailed questions again, but something else came to mind.  , and left later.
