Chapter 196

Even if there is a high-ranking official and noble person, it is impossible to avoid eating, drinking, defecation and urination. Therefore, in the important yamen of the Ministry of Revenue, there is naturally a toilet called the place of reincarnation in the important yamen of the Ministry of Revenue. However, its location is quite remote and is quite far from the various public halls.

But the room where Li Ling is located is only a few feet away from the toilet. The stinking smell continues to hit, making his brows frown: "Is this my public housing?"

"Uh, it's our public housing." Xiang Daxing looked at Li Ling awkwardly, "Originally, I was the only one here. The King of the King arranged for Wen Zhong to be with me two days ago. But don't worry, I have packed everything inside, the table, the brush and ink are all newly-collared..."

Li Ling's eyes flashed, but he nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, senior, let's go in and take a look."

The room was as narrow as what we saw outside, and it was small and cramped. Two desks were placed together with chairs, and several bookshelfs facing the wall, which filled the space. If they wanted to enter, they needed to walk sideways. An old incense burner was placed in the corner in front of the door, and wisps of white smoke rose out, which finally diluted some of the odor.

Seeing Li Ling's eyes sweeping back and forth on the bookshelf, Xiang Daxing smiled and said, "This is where I handle official duties on a daily basis. These are all official documents and accounts of our Ministry of Revenue over the years. Although they are all things that have passed, they may be used at any time, so there must be a dedicated person responsible for organizing and archiving them in case of emergencies.

"Of course, this room is only a small part, and more documents are in the several cabinets on the other end. If you want to go and have a look, I'll take you there."

"That's the warehouses opposite the toilet?" Li Ling saw it just now. Although the warehouses there were bigger, they looked even older, and they were not as good as here. Seeing the other party nodding, he shook his head and said, "No. By the way, Doctor Dai and Yuanwai Lu decided to let me stay here and follow your politics?"

Hearing the word "political observation" he deliberately emphasized, Xiang Daxing smiled bitterly again. How could he not know what politics meant by politics?

The so-called new Jinshi's political practice is somewhat similar to the internships of newcomers when they joined the company, but their identities are not comparable to those of rookies in the workplace who do not even have a contract. The new Jinshi who came from the imperial examination are all prides of heaven and pillars of the future. When they come to these important yamen, they will be deliberately cultivated, so as long as they do not do anything wrong, they will not be suppressed and punished.

As for treatment, although it cannot be compared with the real officials of our yamen, it will not treat them badly, and even have certain preferential treatment. But now, Li Ling, as a new student, was treated like this as soon as he entered the Ministry of Revenue. With this arrangement, he is just a warehouse management. How can he observe politics?

But Xiang Daxing couldn't say anything, so he could only look at him with a wry smile: "Li Tanhua, I'm just acting on orders and I really can't make a decision."

Looking at his helpless and bitter face, Li Ling could not vent even if he had resentment. He could only sigh: "Forget it, I know you can't make a decision, senior. Since this is the arrangement of the superior official, I won't make you embarrassed."

Just as Xiang Daxing breathed a little relieved and wanted to introduce the hundreds of official documents and accounts before him, a disgusting voice came from outside: "It's really stinking here. I didn't expect that there are such places in our Ministry of Revenue, and there are still people working here..."

Immediately, a group of people were surrounded by this small public housing, and the door was pushed open at will. More than ten people were watching the room... The two inside were actually Dai Wanchun and the Jinshi who accompanied him to visit here. When they saw Li Ling, Mr. Dai suddenly showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Brother Wen Zhong, have you even arranged the public housing? It's really worthy of being the Tanhua of this imperial examination. He is much luckier than ordinary Jinshi, and he can all enjoy a public housing for two people. We are far behind, and only seven or eight people can use one together."

"Yes, yes, Li Tanhua is different. I believe you can show your strengths here!" Another person said with a slight interest, just as he spoke, his hands covering his mouth and nose, and the others also showed gloating expressions, looking at Li Ling and laughing secretly.

Perhaps it was because of the habit of literati's reluctance, or perhaps they had already learned from Dai Wanchun some of his hostility towards Li Ling and his uncle's authority in the Ministry of Revenue Qingli Department, so this time, not only Dai Wanchun ridicule and joke, but the others were also very unfriendly to Li Ling.

Faced with this situation, Li Ling calmed down instead. He looked at these same year and smiled on his face: "If you think I am better here, I don't mind being able to intervene with you. To observe politics, it is to learn how the lords of the Ministry of Revenue Department handle various official duties. I happen to have many documents to read here, and I must have learned a lot."

"Then there is no need. We should follow our superiors' arrangements." Dai Wanchun reluctantly smiled, "But there are many things that will cause trouble to Brother Li in the future. After all, there are too many official duties in our yamen that need to use the documents in the warehouse here. You really have "learned" them."

"Of course, since I am in my position, I should do my best to get things done." Li Ling still did not see any angry and aggrieved look, and nodded with a smile.

Originally, he came here to see him make a fool of himself. Dai Wanchun, who was angry, felt bored when he saw this. He didn't say anything more, so he asked the officers who led the team to lead him and wait for him to walk back. Without taking two steps, he thought of something and suddenly turned around: "By the way, Brother Li, you and I won't be too distant next time. After all, I will always come here to see you twice a day! Hahaha..." As he spoke, he deliberately looked at the toilet not far away in front of him, and his meaning was already very clear, which also caused others to burst into laughter.

Li Ling didn't pay attention to them at all, but his eyes swept back and forth in the documents and accounts: "Senior Xiang, can we read and read these things carefully?"

"Of course, our responsibility is to be familiar with and master the accounts of every document." Xiang Daxing nodded.

When Li Ling heard this, he looked at him deeply: "So senior, you have been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years and have always been responsible for this. You know everything about the accounts and documents in recent years?"

"I dare not say it, but I can at least understand it 70% or 80%."

"Then I will have a lot of things to ask you for advice from me in the future." Li Ling's eyes shining. It's indeed remote enough, the environment is not good, and there is no real power. But who said that such a warehouse is really useless? He still clearly remembers how he launched a counterattack against a big man like Zhuang Hong as a small civilian. Didn't he rely on the documents and documents in the cabinet that had long been forgotten?

...

Unlike the public housing where Li Ling is located, or the signing room where many minor officials in charge of the Qing official department, the general office of the Ministry and the Secretary of Shangshu Ye Kuan is naturally extremely spacious.

The furniture and water in the room are made of red sandalwood. The desk of the book, which is more than half a person tall, is filled with documents and the best four treasures of the study, and a cup of steaming tea is placed at hand.

However, Ye Kuan did not read the documents or drink tea at this time, but only looked at the fair man in front of him: "Are all the Jinshis who were arranged by the imperial court to my Ministry of Revenue?

The right assistant minister Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "All have been settled, don't worry, sir."

"That Li Ling is Jinke Tanhua. Is it really appropriate to be arranged like this?" Ye Kuan said, leaning forward slightly, staring at the subordinate in front of him.

Bian Xuedao's fingers trembled slightly, but his face still smiled: "If you really feel that there is something wrong, then let's make another arrangement. But I think that as a talent, he will be a good student to be a good student. It is also good to suffer some grievances and encounter some setbacks."

Ye Kuan's originally calm face also relaxed, and his smile reappeared: "What you said makes sense. After all, jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. This is also the test of the young people by our ministers for His Majesty. I believe he can understand our loyalty."

"Taido is wise!"

"Then do what you want, as long as it's not too much." Ye Kuan said, and picked up another official document in his hand. "There seems to be some problems with the money and food in Jiangnan recently..."

Regarding Li Ling's arrangement, he was taken by two officials from the headquarters, but everyone recognized him as a "warehouse administrator"!

...

After dusk, the news had reached the ears of many people who were interested, including Zuo Xiang Lu Zhen.

When he heard this news, he was sitting in the carriage home, closing his eyes and listening to his close friends reporting various anecdotes in the yamen during this day - this was also his old habit. On the one hand, he could relax, and on the other hand, he could also let him, as the prime minister, grasp the movements of the important yamen in the capital more.

The previous news just asked him to nod a little. Until this incident came into his ears, Lu Zhen's eyes slowly opened. The confidant beside him stopped looking at him, and he heard him slowly say, "What?"

"What then?" This guy was a little confused.

"Then Li Ling has any extreme reactions, and has something happened?"

"No...how dare he..."

"What's there to be afraid of? He is Tanhua, the third in the new first place in His Majesty. The real disciple of the emperor is now treated like this, but he puts his dignity and his face?" A cold light flashed in Lu Zhen's eyes, "If I were to hold on to this point, it would be enough to make many officials of the Ministry of Revenue extremely passive, and even Ye Kuan would be implicated."

"He...he is just a scholar after all, and he cannot have such courage and courage without major events."

"That's just a mediocre person, but he wants to disappoint His Majesty." Lu Zhen slowly closed his eyes again, "It's not worth my thoughts on him..." But while closing his eyes, he added another sentence in his heart - what if Li Ling thinks more deeply, what other means do he have?
