Chapter 245
Officials in the capital are divided into two categories: Beijing officials and court officials. Jing officials are mainly low-level officials below the seventh rank, while court officials of course refer to court officials above the seventh rank. They are called court officials because they have the qualifications to go to court.

Being a court official in the capital is a very hard job. You have to get up after the fifth watch, and you have to leave your house to go to court before dawn. As long as it is not a holiday, you have to do this almost every day.

But the Beijing officials are much better, they don't need to go to court, they can sleep for a while, as long as they make sure that Chen Shi is in their seats, and Chen Shizheng is [-] o'clock in the morning.

However, the rules are rules, but in fact it is not so easy. The boss goes out before dawn and works hard to go to court, but you, as a subordinate, lie in bed and sleep, which boss can allow it?

Therefore, most Beijing officials will rush to work half an hour in advance, and they have to be in their seats at about seven o'clock. Even if they are pretending, they have to keep themselves busy. How about playing cards together?

Fan Ning didn't understand these unspoken official rules, and no one told him that he was entering the library at Chenshi, but his place of work was far away from the Imperial College, and he entered and exited from the west gate of Taixue, and no leader was interested in checking his post.

Fan Ning walked into his official room, but unexpectedly found that there were a lot of things in the official room. First, there were two armchairs and a small tea table, indicating that he could entertain guests here. Second, there was an extra wardrobe, which he put on the table The two court clothes and official hats are neatly hung in the wardrobe.

In fact, there are three rows of bookshelves around the walls, and he can borrow hundreds of books and put them on the shelves to read slowly.

In addition, he found that there was an extra basket on the table, which contained a brand-new set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and beside it was a high-quality tea cup from a folk kiln, which had been washed clean.

Who arranged this?

At this time, a burst of hearty laughter came from behind him, "How about it, the inspector is satisfied!"

Fan Ning turned around, but it was Feng Mieliao, the treasury, who had arranged for him. He quickly bowed and saluted, "Let the treasury Feng worry about it!"

"Where! Where! It's just a matter of raising your hands."

Feng Mieliao smiled and said: "There are a lot of unused desks, chairs and bookcases in the library, so I asked someone to bring a few of them over. These desks, chairs and bookshelves are [-]% new. I think they are not bad. What are they missing? Inspector just tell me."

"I can't think of it for the time being, but in the future, I will inevitably trouble Feng Zhangku,"

"Although I say, as long as I can do it, I will try my best!"

These things don’t cost Feng Mieliao a penny, but they need a favor. Feng Mieliao is still very happy in his heart. Of course, it also depends on the person. Little man, let him try with little effort?

"One or two months after the imperial examination is the most relaxing time for the Imperial College. If there is anything among the supervisors, you don't have to come."

Feng Mieliao was very considerate, since Fan Ning didn't come yesterday, he knew that Fan Ning must be very busy these days.

Fan Ning smiled, "It's okay, I'll at least come over in the morning and talk about anything."

"This is the best way. Please be busy with the supervisor, and I won't bother you."

Feng Mieliao said goodbye and left. Fan Ning returned to his seat and sat down to feel the atmosphere of the office. Unfortunately, he didn't have anything to deal with right now.

He took the teacup casually again. Today he still forgot to bring the cup. He found that the teacup was actually new. Although it was a Ding porcelain folk kiln, the glaze and porcelain body were very delicate. There was a picture of a fish on it. Playing lotus leaves is also very good.

At this time, a tea boy appeared at the door with a pot of hot tea, and asked with a bow, "Does the official want to pour tea?"

He put the teacup on the table, and the tea boy poured a full cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "This is the teacup for receiving guests in the library. I bought it last year and it has not been opened. I removed the cover yesterday."

"Thank you, what's your name?"

"The villain's name is Zeng Xiaoyi. He's from the capital city. He's good at roasting tea. If the officials bring their own tea, I can do it for you!"

"Thank you, I will bring tea in two days."

Fanning paused and asked again, "Is there a dental clinic nearby?"

"Of course there is! It's on the street where you enter the gate, and you can see it after walking fifty or sixty steps. It's called Jingxue Dental Shop, and it's the largest dental shop in the south of the city."

"I see!"

Fan Ning casually took out a two-dollar silver coin and handed it to him, "This is a small thank you for preparing the teacup, use it to buy a pair of shoes!"

"Thank you supervisor!"

Zeng Xiaoyi happily took the silver coin, which is two hundred Wen!The officials of the library have never seen anyone so generous.

He felt that it was necessary to repay Fan Ning again, and said, "There are two teacups over there that have never been used. I will bring them to the inspector to receive guests."

"Isn't that good!"

"It's okay! Zhangku Feng moved the chairs and coffee tables he used to receive guests to the school inspector, who dares to chew his tongue."

Fan Ning only felt that his head was getting dizzy for a while, and Feng Mieliao was so courteous, and he might be asking for something.

When Fan Ning was looking for a place for his father to open a medical clinic in Mudu Town, he had dealt with the dental office. The dental office was a place where intermediaries were concentrated, and various intermediaries gathered together. Plays an important role as a bridge connection.

Fan Ning hadn't walked far from the Imperial College, and at a glance he saw what the tea boy said about the Jingxue dental shop. It was a large courtyard surrounded by a corridor, and inside the corridor was a dental shop with four or fifty people. There are so many homes.

In the morning, when there are more customers, there is a continuous flow of customers in the dental store, and the flow of people and noise make the dental store extremely lively.

When Fan Ning hesitated a little, a doorman stepped forward and asked, "What kind of barbarians are you looking for?"

"Where is Zhuangzhai Yaren?"

The doorman pointed to the front, "It's directly opposite, and the seven dentist shops are all Zhuangzhai dentists."

"Thank you!"

Fan Ning then walked through the compound, and came to several dental shops in the front. It really was a villa, with signs hanging all over the outside. The signs said all kinds of housing and real estate information, both for sale and for rent. The real estate agency of later generations.

Fan Ning stopped in front of a person-high billboard, on which was pasted a large piece of white paper, on which was written a piece of real estate information in rough ink, 'The landlord is in urgent need of funds, a famous house in the south of the city, [-] Thousands of Guans for sale at a low price', this advertisement is quite attractive to Fanning.

"Is the little official interested?" A gentle voice came from behind.

Fan Ning saw a man in white clothes standing behind him, about 30 years old, not tall, seemed to be a little shorter than himself, but looked at him with a kind face and a smile.

Fan Ning bowed slightly, "Your Excellency is also a dentist?"

The man nodded, pointed at the shop next to him and said with a smile: "This is my small shop, no matter whether the small official is renting or buying a house, I am willing to help!"

Seeing that he spoke very politely and didn't look down on him because he was a teenager, Fan Ning couldn't help feeling a little fond of him, so he nodded and said, "I'm considering buying a house?"

"Then please come in and sit down! I will give the petty officials a reference, and I won't take any money."

"Then trouble Your Excellency!"

Fan Ning followed the man into the room and sat down. He looked at the room. The room was not big, only about ten square meters. Inside was a set of tables and chairs. Behind it was a willow cabinet full of various files. There are three armchairs and a coffee table, which are used for talking with guests.

As soon as the man finished making a pot of tea, he poured a cup for Fan Ning, and introduced with a smile: "My surname is Pan, and I am a native of the capital. I have many friends. I have been in this business for almost ten years. I have a very good reputation. Find out, Pan Sanlang from Jingxue Dental Clinic is talking about me."

Fan Ning took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "I'm considering buying a house of about five acres. To be honest, I just came to the capital not long ago, and the market is unclear, and I don't understand the rules. Please, Mr. Pan, please introduce it to me first."

Pan Sanlang nodded with a smile, "What's your surname, a petty official? Where is your current household registration?"

"My surname is Fan, from Pingjiang Prefecture. Does buying a house have anything to do with household registration?" Fan Ning asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter much, but the dental tax will have an impact. The local household registration is three-thirds of the dental tax, and the foreign household registration is five-fifth of the dental tax. Of course, there are many discounts. If it is the first time for a Beijing official or a court official to buy a house, the dental tax will be fine. Exemption, the imperial court is of course very tolerant to its own people, if you are admitted to Jinshi, you can also be exempt from dental tax when buying a house for the first time."

"That's good, I can enjoy tax exemption!"

Pan Sanlang was surprised immediately, "Could it be that the petty official is a Jinshi?"

"I am not only a Jinshi, but also an eighth-rank Beijing official."

Pan Sanlang was immediately in awe, "I know who the little official is. The little official must be No. 1 Fan Ning in the Tongzi Division. Am I right?"

Fanning nodded, "It's me!"

"It's a great honor to serve the petty official! My son admires the petty official the most, and said that he will also take the first place in the children's department when he grows up."

Fan Ning heard that there was some ambiguity in his words, so he asked, "How old is your son?"

"Just turned three!"

Three black lines suddenly appeared on Fan Ning's head. He smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about the house! How much does it cost to buy a five-acre house now?"
