Xiangye

Chapter 245 This official position is really satisfying

What satisfies him most is that his office is also quite large.

Soon, the concierge led him to a room, which was two suites one mile away and one outside.The outer room is for the office staff, and the inner room is owned by Gao Wen, with a size of [-] to [-] square meters.There are bookshelves, bookcases, and large cases inside.The ground was covered with blue bricks, and it was cleaned so that no trace of dust could be seen.After revealing his identity, two book offices greeted him immediately, serving him attentively.After serving tea, he went to get a set of Cong Qipin's regular clothes, saying that it was already ready, as for other clothes, he would make up later.

The official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty were different according to the occasions the officials were going to attend. There were court uniforms for participating in national ceremonies; The official uniforms worn by the attendees, thanksgiving, and speeches.

There are also ordinary clothes worn by officials in the Yamen on weekdays.

Among them, ordinary clothes are worn for the most time, and the style is the simplest, and everything is light.

There is not much difference between Gao Wen's regular seventh-rank uniform and the regular seventh-rank official uniform, that is, a black gauze hat, a tunic collar shirt, and a drawstring.

Looking at the bright red official robe on his body and the embroidered bird on his chest in the mirror, Gao Wen sighed in his heart: It can be regarded as entering the system. Although there are not many things in the capital, there are many officials, but my lord wears this official suit. If the skin goes out, it can still confuse a few people.

Next to it, there was a book office who praised: "I have heard that Gao Zhishi is the Jieyuan of this year's Shaanxi provincial examination. I have been looking forward to your coming! I thought to myself, but I don't know how to be so handsome. Young Master Jia. When I saw you today, the governor looks very handsome, and he is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among the people!"

Hearing this, the book offices gave another round of compliments, praising Gao Wen, the chief official, to the sky.

To be honest, these people are all old officials who have also read books, and they are quite skilled in complimenting people, with restraint and restraint.

Gao Wen was tall and had long arms. He was just a clothes hanger, but he looked very imposing in this suit.Although he was thick-skinned, he was still a little embarrassed by being flattered, and he nodded his head in thanks.

It took me a long time to settle down and sit at my station, er, the official position.

This was Gao Wen's first time as an official, but he didn't hesitate in his heart, so he took a few official documents from the bookshelf and read them, trying to familiarize himself with the work in the shortest possible time.

Seeing that the supervisor started to take care of things, the book office who served Gao Wen came in with a large stack of files, saying that this is the official business accumulated by the company this year, please take a look in advance, if there is anything unclear, feel free to ask the department Here it is.

This man's surname was An, he was a clever man, and he spent the whole afternoon in front of Gao Wen.After a while, he introduced the affairs of the department in detail, after a while, he came in to change Gao Wen's tea, and after a while, he brought a hot towel to Gao Wen to clean his face.

Gao Wen used to serve Du Zhi County when he was a master in the Hancheng County Government. He didn't feel it when he was serving others, but now he feels quite comfortable when he is being served by others.

Yes, power is the best thing.Even if it's a small Cong Qipin, it's an official rank that crushes people to death, and there are indescribable scenery here.No wonder the ancient scholars were so keen on fame and wealth, and they really enjoyed it...Gao Wen, Gao Wen, you are a modern person, and you like this tune anyway, vulgar, vulgar!
Gao Wen: "Anshu Office."

Anshu Office: "What is the governor's order?"

Gao Wen: "Which adults are working in this yamen on weekdays, why can't I see any of them today?" After sitting in the room for a long time, there was neither a superior to pass on a message nor a colleague to visit, he suddenly felt a little stuffy and felt uncomfortable too right.

Anshu Office: "Governor Gao, although this is the Ministry of Rituals' shrine to clean up officials, Lang Zhong and Yuan Wai Lang are both sitting in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. If you have nothing to do, you can come here. On weekdays, Chief Shi is in charge of this place, and there are three other governors. Today, Chief Shi rested in his room after lunch. He hasn’t woken up yet, so it’s not easy to disturb him. As for the other two governors, they have gone out on business. You don’t have to rush, Governor Gao. Come here early, the quasi-guan can face up with all the adults."

Gao Wen: "But it is."

Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to get off work.After sitting in the yamen for an entire afternoon today, Gao Wen was very lively and felt extremely uncomfortable, so he stood up and said, "Well, I will go back today first, everyone should leave."

Regardless of ancient times or modern times, whenever the leader took the lead, the people below would not leave first, so Gao Wen naturally wouldn't be such a nuisance.

Seeing him standing up, several other school classes came over, clasped their hands and smiled flatteringly: "The governor is taking office today, I have already ordered the kitchen staff to prepare a table of wine and vegetables to welcome the governor, please do me a favor."

"Governor Gao, welcome to the kitchen at the back!"

Gao Wen: "Why, there is a canteen in the yamen... no, the food group... hey, the kitchen?"

Anshu Office: "Governor Gao didn't know that we have a kitchen here? Beijing is too big, we petty officials and a few adults live far away. If we go home for dinner at noon every day, it's too much to come and go. It was a waste of time. So, I set up a kitchen here."

After listening to his explanation for a long time, Gao Wen finally understood.It turns out that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rituals specially built a kitchen yard and invited a cook to cook lunch for everyone.Of course, this expense will naturally be charged to the public account.

Everyone's wages are low, so naturally they don't dare to eat out every day like the adults in Liubu.

Beijing officials are suffering, and the life of the scribes in various ministries is not easy.In order to save money, many people simply put dinner together in the kitchen.

Eating is a matter to enhance the relationship between colleagues, Gao Wen is naturally happy and is about to agree.But after thinking about it, no, this kitchen provides a lunch.On the first day I took office, I ate and drank in the public land, which seemed inappropriate.Institutions are different from local yamen, they have to be careful in doing things, don't let people get caught.

"Everyone hasn't had enough to eat in this yamen every day. That's good. I'll be the host. Let's find a better restaurant to have a drink and talk."

Anshu Office: "Governor Gao, this is my subordinate's wish. How can I make you spend money? Otherwise, let's do it!"

Gao Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "My colleagues only have a little monthly salary, and I still have some wealth. Please save face and let's go to the lively scene together."

Previously, An Shuban asked everyone to pool money for the treat, but the Shuban was not happy about it.Seeing that Gao Wen insisted on inviting him, they were all happy, and excused: "If you want it, you want it, so, respect is worse than obedience."

Therefore, Gao Wen led a group of subordinates out of the siya and entered a place called Xiangya Building.

Gao Wen gave Xiaoer a handful of silver, and ordered him to just serve good food and wine.

Naturally, this meal was extremely rich, and they ate until dark before the book offices dispersed.

It can be seen that all the subordinates are extremely respectful to Gao Wen, at least on the surface they have expressed their loyalty to him.

Gao Wen was also quite satisfied with his official position. In fact, it would be good if he would just sit here every day in the yamen, read books, and have time to invite colleagues to eat, drink and have fun.

After belching, I saw that it was getting late, and I was about to go home.An Shuban handed over a cup of tea and said, "The governor drank a lot of wine, first use some tea to refresh himself."

Gao Wen: "You haven't gone back yet, what's the matter?"

"I have something to talk to the governor about." An Shuban said, "The governor is really wise not to go to the kitchen yard for a drink today, and his subordinates admire him very much, otherwise he would have played the tricks of those subordinate officials."

Gao Wen was stunned: I fell into a trap, what kind of trap, why can't I see it?

However, on the surface, he still acted as if he understood clearly, and said indifferently: "An Shuban, why did you say such things in front of this official?"

To be an official, you have to have an official appearance. No matter how confused you are, you have to be steady, so that your subordinates can't guess what's going on.
