Chapter two hundred and twenty fourth official servants
Although it is not too far from the city to the farm, it takes more than an hour to walk. Listening to Chang Kai telling allusions on this road is a good pastime.
Official servants are a humble identity passed down from generation to generation. They cannot participate in the imperial examinations, and even their character and ethics are considered to be inherently lacking. However, such lowly servants have enough authority and generous extra money. On the one hand, they make people envious and jealous, and on the other hand, they are despised from the heart.
Under such contradictory treatment, many young people in official families seem a bit strange than their peers of ordinary people. Some people will become more and more unreasonable, while others will deliberately appear different from their parents. Of course, more people will grow up according to the rules, learn from their parents' experiences, inherit positions, and repeat similar lives.
The life of officials and servants is much better than that of ordinary people, so the lifespan of men and women is relatively high. Young people often have to middle age to inherit their father's business. Before that, they can only participate in various affairs as white deputy servants, study and accumulate experience.
Young people who act as white deputy servants want to learn and grow, accumulate connections, and also have to guard against various risks in errands, and have to follow the relevant competent elders or seniors. This has become the rule of the officials and servants in various prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties in the Ming Dynasty.
After more than a hundred years of founding the country, the system of official and servants became more and more complex. The positions that were originally powerful and beneficial were only some civil servants and servants who were in the process of compilation. Later, some white-handed deputy servants could have such shortcomings. Under management, the identity of white-handed deputy servants would be passed down from generation to generation. This was also controlled by fixed families, which made the system of replacement of official and servants even larger and more complex.
Now, in Huairen County alone, children of other families who are registered as officials often recognize relatives and become disciples before they are ten years old, and they will become followers and apprentices around the age of twelve. If they are older, they will be white-body deputy servants who follow them until they are adults, and they will inherit their original positions after their parents grow old. The children of the white-body deputy servants have two choices: to be good people, farming, business, literature, or to be in charge of official services. They will follow the same path as children of other families. The difference is that children of other families who are registered as relatives and apprentices are both seeking official services in the process of being registered as officials. Those who are not in charge of their parents, and those who are registered as officials have a way to be appointed as officials, and those who are unable to find elders of white-body deputy servants.
"The two people, Lifang and Hufang, sometimes the management of these two houses must be included. The eldest son of their family is directly assigned, and the others have to last for ten or twenty years..."
From Chang Kai's words, Zhu Da could infer that this system is very reasonable, can maintain metabolism, and can provide enough training for young people who are backward, so that they can fully contact practice, grow enough, and also allow civil servants and servants to have enough usable and reliable helpers.
Of course, in such a "supporting and hiring" process, some people will be considered unsuitable for engaging in the vocational vocation and will be eliminated. Not only are apprentices picking masters, but masters also picking apprentices. Fu Yu and Meng Tian were eliminated, and they were eliminated several times...
Fu Yu is the only son of an old official in the Lifang. Fu Yu has been smart since childhood. While his family lamented that he could not achieve fame in the imperial examination, he hoped that Fu Yu could jump out of the Lifang to a good location like the Lifang and the Household House. After entrusting the matter, he sent Fu Yu to the Household House to do business.
Perhaps the ritual room is full of sutras and rules throughout the day. I did too much face and somehow it affected Fu Yu's growth and temperament, causing Fu Yu to be disgusted with many bad rules of household housing. When the "master" he followed was following the rules, he dissuaded or even sarcastic. In the end, he even interfered with it and was driven back directly.
The Fu family is naturally making trouble, but they are so single, so they can't blame them too much. They sent the person elsewhere. I don't know if they are angry or really think so. Fu Yu always feels that it is wrong to do things in class three and six, and is too dissatisfied.
"...You can't be bad at talking about conscience..." Chang Kai said this calmly. His words were not just self-deprecating, but rather a fact calmly.
After being driven back by the "master", no one in the county dared to accept him. The family had no choice but to ask Fu Yu to help in the courtroom and do a chore without any effort. When he was old, he inherited his father's position and lived like this for the rest of his life.
"...It's a pity for Fu Yu. He has a good memory and is actually quite lively. He can do anything properly, but he just has a knot in his heart. If he weren't born in a servant family, he might be a seed of study..." Chang Kai said with emotion.
As for Meng Tian, he is the second son of an old detective in the fast class. Meng Tian doesn't recognize a few words, and he doesn't have any bad reading scriptures. But his family's time is spent on his elder brother and doesn't care much about him on weekdays. As a result, Meng Tian likes to comment on operas and other things. There are not even a few people singing music in the small county town, let alone a storyteller in the opera troupe. In addition to having fun in the market, he listens to Fu Yu, who is one year older than him, and he believes in loyalty and righteousness.
Meng Tian once became a master, but when the strong man went out of the city to do a job, he was stopped by Meng Tian because he teased the woman. He couldn't help but want to attack Meng Tian. He was beaten by Meng Tian and kept him at home for half a month before he could walk around. After that, Meng Tian could only follow his brother and father to do things. He didn't do it a few times. He had a lot of arguments when he went back, and his father and brother were too lazy to pay attention to it. He might not be able to teach a lesson. Meng Tian was very attentive to learn fists and feet, and he was very strong, and he really couldn't beat him.
These two people have no serious errands to do, and no one in Huairen County will accept them. After Chang Kai became the deputy head of the fast-paced class this time, there were only four or five available white-bodied deputy soldiers around him. Just when a large number of people were needed, Fu Yu and Meng Tian were stuffed to Chang Kai.
"...I'm not that I'm looking at the new hot stove here and I'm going to come and burn it. I really have no place to take it in. I have a chance to follow me and find loopholes to get people open in the future..." Chang Kai didn't laugh at himself or smile bitterly when he said this, but he just felt it was normal.
After Chang Kai became the deputy head of the fast-paced class this time, in just two days, the white-bodied deputy head around him changed from seven to thirty-eight people. Several people who were "unmotivated" and "nowhere to go" were arranged, including those who were recognized as thorny like Fu Yu and Meng Tian, three sons and nephews in their homes who had no place to go, and those who had no intention of becoming officials and servants.
For them, Chang Kai lacks people and has no foundation to take office, so he will not be picky and choose. He is somewhat a place here, and he always has subsidies for money and grain, and he will also give his children a place to go.
"Those outstanding and capable people will not be sent to me. Now those who come here are lost. Lao Chang was promoted by Mr. Qin. It is two different ways to be with the officials and servants in our Huairen County. Now, the family may not be the same in the future. There is no expectation for children to come here. If something happens, there is no harm. Brother Zhu, do you think this is the case?" Chang Kai said with a smile.
For this closed and conservative county-level official service system, everything has its own rules. Chang Kai was suddenly promoted from a constable to a deputy squad, which was broken. Moreover, he relied on the strong man from outside the county, and wanted to help the strong man cut off a few pieces from the big cake that was originally everyone. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a public enemy. You must know that in the eyes of the officials and soldiers, if the buildings are falling, the buildings such as scholars and scholars will be broken. Only the officials and soldiers will be passed down from generation to generation. For real longevity, you, Chang Kai, become a heretic in this system, and you will not end well in the future.
But when he was planning this, no one thought about it, or subconsciously did not think about it. This big cake was originally not available, or they realized it and could not be distributed. It was planned by the Qin Juren. The officials and servants had a deep-rooted consciousness. Everything locally belonged to them. Maybe not in a short period of time, but in a long run, it must be.
"Old Chang, it's time to go, let's take a look. Now they're very planning, and I'm afraid they will regret it in the future." Zhu Da could figure out this set of joints, and he said a few words with a smile.
Chang Kai also smiled and nodded, saying confidently: "Anyway, I'm going to be together. Follow Brother Zhu to the end."
The chat was pleasant and relaxed along the way. The dozens of them were not swaggeringly, but they had to go up to push the cart to help from time to time, and they also drove away the merchants and residents along the road who were struggling for various reasons. What the young and strong servants who followed him did not expect was that not only Zhu Da's servants helped push the cart, but Zhu Da came to work himself, and the biggest ones took action. Everyone did not have the truth to stand by and watch, but it was quite enthusiastic.
When the land farm was three miles away, Chang Shen led people out to greet him. Chang Kai was still very thoughtful and sent someone to inform him early. After the two sides met, the white-bodied deputy guard guarding the land farm and the young and strong men brought by Chang Kai smiled and greeted each other, which was quite enthusiastic.
Everyone is young. Although some people can be a servant, some people cannot, the county town is so big, and everyone is in the circle of officials and servants. They are of similar age, so of course they are familiar with each other.
The people below were laughing and laughing, but Chang Shen's face was a little nervous, which made his brother Chang Kai frown, thinking that he could never calm down in front of Zhu Da, and many good things would not be the turn in the future. Now everything is just beginning, and it is time to make good money, but his brother is always unable to get on the table.
“How many new people have come so far?”
“A total of one hundred and sixty-one.”
"Are you asking how many new you are?"
Chang Kai's impatient reminder made Chang Shen even more nervous, and he actually said something else: "The person who went to the horse trooping office came back, and he would bring him back one person."
Zhu Da signaled that Chang Kai would not blame him. The Horse Trapping Station was also a place where he was killed and invaded, but only one was gathered there. Compared to the day before yesterday and yesterday, there were so many people coming, and there were more than twenty people yesterday afternoon and today. It seems that there are only so many people who can gather.
"Master, the poor guys inside are going to make a fuss!" Chang Shen was nervous about this...
