Chapter 2 Bullying the old but not the young
The carriage slowly stopped, and Ge Dan walked off the carriage. He came to greet him, and he still had the attitude he should have.
When he saw Ge Dan walking down from the carriage, under the leadership of Tongzhi Qian Bin, everyone dressed up, and then respectfully saluted Ge Dan: "Secretary and others will meet the magistrate!"
Ge Dan quickly took a few steps, stretched out his hands to support Tongzhi Qian Bin and Tongzong Wang Le. While looking at the two people with a smile, Ge Dan said, "No gift, no gift, two adults came to greet him with a group of subordinates. I am very happy, I am very happy. The sun is so big, I am so worried, I am so worried!" As he said that, Ge Dan bowed to everyone.
Ge Dan's attitude made everyone feel relieved. At least the son of the minister was not as playboy as a playboy, and it was obvious that he understood the affairs of the officialdom, which was very good.
What officials are most afraid of is the official young man. If this young man still has a deep background, then the trouble will come.
The group did not greet each other for too long. After all, it was almost noon. The weather was very hot and the days ahead were still long. There was no need to stand under the sun to greet each other. People came to greet each other to do their duty and express a kindness. Ge Dan received this kindness and gave it back, which was enough. The group got on the carriage and then headed towards Hezhou City.
After getting on the carriage, Ge Dan was still thinking about Qian Bin and Wang Le. The attitudes of these two people seemed to be too good, right?
Unlike the prefecture and Danyang, although Danyang also has officials, he is the real Jinshi. Even if the remaining county magistrates are missing, it will be difficult for these people to get on the throne. But it is different from the prefecture. There are three Jinshi officials here, namely Qian Bin Wang Le and Hanshan County Magistrate Zhao Yanbing. Needless to say, Hanshan County Magistrate, he is not qualified enough, but Tongzhi Qian Bin and Tongzhi Wang Le should want their own position, right?
Although there were many officials in the Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, no one was thinking about which position? Which position is missing is not something that countless people want?
Ge Dan was thinking a lot, and his car slowly entered Hezhou City. Speaking of Hezhou, although it was only a direct prefecture, the city here was quite large. If he had more jurisdiction over several counties, Hezhou would have hope of being promoted to a prefecture. You should know that in the Song Dynasty, Hezhou was appointed Shangzhou, and Hezhou was appointed to be the West Road in Huainan, and Hezhou was appointed Wanhu Prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty, which belonged to the Huainxi General Administration. In the 14th year of Zhiyuan, Hezhou Fufu was renamed. In the 15th year of Zhiyuan, Hezhou Fufu was promoted to Hezhou Road, which was under the jurisdiction of Liyang, Wujiang and Hanshan.
Hezhou has always been a big place before. Although it is not as good as before, the city here is still left, so the city in Hezhou is quite large.
After Ge Dan entered Hezhou City, he discovered that it is worthy of being a prefecture city. It is much better than the small county town of Danyang and much more lively.
Because he had not taken office, Ge Dan lived at the inn, and all the people who came to pick Ge Dan went back. Of course, this was not over. In the evening, he made an appointment to welcome Ge Dan in the Qingfeng Building, the largest restaurant in Hezhou. At the same time, the old magistrate Li Lian, who was about to be promoted to the title of Tongzhi of Zhenjiang, would also be present. This banquet was also practiced by Li Lian, and it was a farewell banquet for him.
Of course, Li Lian's farewell banquet had been held before. This time, Ge Dan was welcomed and Li Lian was taken with him.
Generally speaking, Li Lian can not go, but Li Lian also wants to make friends with some Ge Dan, at least get to know each other. There are many friends and multiple ways in the officialdom. This also has something to do with Li Lian's promotion. If he is derogatory, who will take care of him?
When he entered the inn, Ge Dan lived in the best yard. The postmaster was serving him carefully. This was his superior. If he was not careful, he might not have a job. Ge Dan didn't care about this. He was not very picky about the place where he lived. After cleaning up a little, the inn also sent people to drink and drink. Ge Dan pulled Ge Lin to have wine and drinks together. Of course, it was also to talk about his doubts.
The wine was poured over and took a sip. Then neither of them spoke, but they just ate something quietly. After rushing for a morning, they were really hungry. After almost all the food, the two of them slowed down and started chatting.
Ge Dan expressed his doubts and waited for Ge Lin to solve his doubts.
Rubbing his beard, Ge Lin smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. To put it bluntly, they want to flatter the young master. Local officials have rules for local officials, Beijing officials have ways of doing things, and different officials have different ways. What does this local official want? It's just promotion. If you want to be promoted, you either make contributions or someone will support you."
"First talk about making meritorious service. There is no major event in the local area. It is not easy to make meritorious service. Pay taxes on time and there is no error in the criminal matter. If the local education is done, this is the responsibility of the local officials."
"But if all these are done, can you be promoted? Not sure, because this is your duty as an official. If you can't do these things well, you will be considered a official soon. If you want to make meritorious contributions in the local area, it will be difficult. It is not that you cannot make meritorious contributions, but that you don't have the chance to make meritorious contributions. If no one supports you at this time, you will waste your time in the local area. This is something that everyone knows."
"Since the road to making meritorious service is not easy, someone needs to support me. The best relationship in the officialdom is teachers and students. The teacher needs students to be the teacher, and students need the teacher to support me."
"But there are too many students in the teacher and I can't support you. At this time, you have to show your face in front of the teacher and try to get familiar with each other. What kind of familiar with each other? Of course, it's a gift. But everyone gives you, there's nothing new. If you give more, maybe the teacher will support you, but where does the money come from? If you scrape the ground hard, the teacher will not dare to use you."
"In addition to these two paths, it is to flatter your boss. If your boss is promoted, maybe you will be good at helping you."
Ge Lin said something lightly, but Ge Dan listened very seriously. These are all rules in the officialdom and are something that an official must understand.
"As a senior official like the young master, he has a background and background, and he has the ability, he naturally dare not offend him, and it is too late to curry favor with him. Once the young master is promoted, he might help them. I just read and notify Qian Bin and Tongzong Wang Le. These two people are not young anymore. At this age, they only have Tongzong and Tongzhi, and they don't think they have a deep background."
Ge Dan also noticed that Wang Le was a little younger, but he was still in his thirty-seven or eight, and Qian Bin was even more than forty.
