The official from Shandong talked a lot and was very humorous. He became familiar with Ma Shaoguang in less than a few minutes.

"This Shangguan, the lower official is from Jiangxi, his surname is Chen, his name is Shuming, and his name is Zizhao! I wonder what the master calls him?"

Ma Shaoguang knew that this guy wanted to build relationships, but the officialdom focused on multiple friends and multiple ways. Since he wanted to make friends with him, why don’t he do it?

"It turns out that he is Lord Chen. His official surname is Ma Shaoguang and his name is Ziheng. He wasted forty-one years this year!"

"So it's Brother Ma, just call me my younger name!"

Ma Shaoguang and Chen Shuming were chatting here indistinguishable ways, and then he heard a noise coming from the front of the team.

Ma Shaoguang looked at the front and couldn't see clearly, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with the front?"

Chen Shuming curled his lips and said, "It's just that the local official pretended to be an old man at the door and was scolded by the Organization Department's Literature Office! I've been here for half a month and I've seen such things. Many prefects from many places came here and thought they were the same as those in the local area, and they were doing five or six to these Literature Offices. They didn't think about what this place was? Where is the place in charge of your official career, can you be good when you come here? A small scholar in the promotion department can deal with you. If you remember the crooked mouth in your file, then it's all!"

The most important thing for selecting officials in the Ministry of Personnel in the Ming Dynasty was to look at their appearance. If they were tall and had starry eyes, such people would definitely be high-ranking officials. On the contrary, if they had sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and deer-headed and rat-headed eyes, such people would not necessarily be able to be officials, and their fame could be retained.

However, everything has a special feature. If you look good and don’t pay money, you will immediately turn into a deer-headed and mouse-headed person. No matter how ugly the appearance is, you will be given money to the doctor of Wenxuansi. He can become a handsome man like Pan An and Song Yu, so the most important thing is money.

Chen Shuming has been very angry with the Organization Department in the past half month. Now he talks about it, from the Wenxuan Department to the Office of the Organization Department, the head of the Officer, the writing style, the scriptures, and the lowest-level books and offices.

Just when Chen Shuming scolded the Book Office, the book Office that blocked the door at the organization department ran to the back sweating profusely, and ran and shouted, "That is Mr. Ma? That is the magistrate of Yong'an Prefecture, Guangxi?"

Ma Shaoguang listened to the Book Office and asked him to stand up and say, "This Book Office is Ma Shaoguang, the governor of Yong'an!" As a fifth rank, Ma Shaoguang is more than 20-level than a poor book Office, but there was no way. He had to bow his head under the roof. Ma Shaoguang could only whisper in front of the Book Office.

Now the Book Office has changed his domineering attitude just now, and he doesn't even care about wiping the sweat on his forehead. He quickly took Ma Shaoguang's hand and said, "So Lord Ma is here, okay! Please come in with the villain. Lord Lin, the doctor of the Wenxuan Department, invites you!"

In the eyes of these low-level officials, the doctor of the Wenxuansi is like heaven, because your career path is just in the words of the doctor. If you say you are good, you will be successful in your official career, and if you are bad, you will be doomed. Now, the doctor of the Wenxuansi is about to meet a low-level official, which will immediately shock the friends around Ma Shaoguang.

Chen Shuming, a child who Ma Shaoguang had just met, was not sure where this newly recognized elder brother had a background. How could the Wenxuansi doctor who could not meet easily directly click his name?

Thinking of this, Chen Shuming quickly seized the opportunity, stepped forward and grabbed Ma Shaoguang's sleeve and shouted: "Brother, please say a few good words to me in front of the doctor!"

The clerk came up to pull away Chen Shuming's entanglement, took Ma Shaoguang's hand and said, "Mr. Lin is waiting for Master Ma, let's go quickly!"

Ma Shaoguang followed the clerk into the gate of the Organization Department’s office with envious and jealous eyes from his colleagues around him. The clerk grabbed Ma Shaoguang and whispered: “Master Ma, the villain doesn’t know that Master Ma and Lord Lin are old friends. Just now, the villain was just doing business. Please don’t take it to heart!”

After the bookkeeper finished speaking, he took out a silver note from his sleeve, but he didn't know how much it was and stuffed it into Ma Shaoguang's arms.

Ma Shaoguang was about to refuse, but at this time he had already entered the yamen. There were many people around him, so Ma Shaoguang couldn't say anything, so he had to bow and say that he knew.

The bookkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ma Shaoguang accepting the silver notes. He knew that this mere fifth-rank official had such great energy.

Just now, Doctor Lin from the Wenxuan Department sent someone to find Mr. Ma. The library office contacted so many officials every day, and remembered Mr. Ma from Guangxi. There was no way that the library office had to go out to search one by one.

Now that Mr. Ma has finally found this, the Book Office breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Organization Department’s Wenxuan Department is only a fifth rank, the Minister of the Organization Department has always been promoted to the position of the Department of Wenxuan Department. Now the Left Minister Zhang Huai is old and will retire home at the end of the year. This vacant position is very likely to be held by Doctor Lin, so the Book Office is more careful. It is not good to offend the future Minister!

When the Library Office saw Ma Shaoguang receiving the silver notes, it was relieved and led Ma Shaoguang into the Organization Department's office.

In the hearts of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the Organization Department, which is responsible for the promotion of all officials in the world, must be a noble department. In fact, this yamen is the same as other yamen, and it is even less spacious than some yamen. After all, the Organization Department and the Personnel Department used the houses of the Ministry of Personnel back then, and there were still so many rooms, but the office staff was twice as high, so the office spaces of the various departments inside were really small.

As the first department of the Organization Department, there are only three main rooms and six wing rooms here, but it has to accommodate more than 20 people. The Wenxuan Department has a department of Xuxian, a department of promotion, a department of promotion, a library, a department of writing, a department of writing, a department of calligraphy, a department of calligraphy, and a department of reading. Except for the doctor himself, he owns a room in each department of each department.

The bookkeeper led Ma Shaoguang to the room in the middle and said at the door: "Ma Shaoguang is here in Yong'an Prefecture, Guangxi!"

At this time, Jingcheng came out in the room to take over Ma Shaoguang's transfer document and then took Ma Shaoguang into the house.

There are three rooms in the main room. The outermost part is the signing room, the middle is the pen and post-shaped room, and the innermost part is the doctor's office.

Lin Yangzu, the doctor of the Wenxuan Department, heard that Ma Shaoguang had arrived, came out of the inner room, stood at the door and smiled, "Master Ma, the bookkeeping outside the door was lazy and made Lord Ma wait for a long time. It was Lin's fault!"

Ma Shaoguang didn't know why Lin Yangzu was so enthusiastic to him, so he quickly bowed and said he didn't dare.

Lin Yangzu took Ma Shaoguang's hand into the inner room, and at the same time asked the pen to put tea on the pen. The pen to put tea was also very surprised. In the past, Dr. Lin had dated provincial and ministerial officials of the third rank or above. Why did he care so much about a fifth rank small official today?

Ma Shaoguang followed Lin Yangzu into the inner room, which was where Lin Yangzu worked. The environment was very ordinary and it was not as important as the important place that decided to promote officials across the country.

Lin Yangzu looked around Ma Shaoguang and smiled and said, "Brother Ma, Brother Yu's place is really narrow, but there is nothing we can do. The original office location of the Ministry of Personnel has become two departments. This is pretty good. I heard that the tax department I am going to go to is even more so, because the original household part is three departments, and I will suffer if I go there!"

Ma Shaoguang knew that there was no secret in the officialdom. Although his appointment had not been completed, well-informed people had already found out, but Ma Shaoguang didn't know why Lin Yangzu wanted to make friends with him!

"Brother Lin is joking. I am an official from the Ming Dynasty. When I become an official, I will serve the country and the people. As for the office conditions, I am not picky!" Ma Shaoguang didn't know what Lin Yangzu's background was, so he just said some scenes.

Lin Yangzu heard Ma Shaoguang say this and laughed: "Brother Ma, there is no other meaning to meet today. If you have the chance to introduce some good friends to Brother Ma. After all, Brother Ma is just a newcomer, so you should have a few good friends to talk to him!"

Ma Shaoguang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. It was nothing more than the cliques in the officialdom. After all, the officialdom is different now than before. It is impossible to fight alone. They all pay attention to group fights. It is really insecure to not join a group in the officialdom.

However, Ma Shaoguang was born as a Chu party. He didn't know what party Lin Yangzu belonged to. What if it was his opposite?

"I wonder who are the good friends Brother Lin mentioned?"

Seeing Ma Shaoguang, Lin Yangzu smiled and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, we are all from Huguang. Doctor Xia from the Ministry of Human Resources Examination, Doctor Ouyang from the Military Selection Department of the Military Affairs Department, and Doctor Zhao from the Arsenal Department of the Logistics Department, are all their own people!"

Ma Shao understood what these three official positions Lin Yangzu said, including the examination and meritorious service, the military selection department, the arsenal department, and Lin Yangzu's literary selection department, which are collectively known as the four major fart oily crotch in the capital.

The Wenxuan Department is in charge of the promotion of civil servants all over the world, and the examination department is in charge of the assessment of civil servants all over the world. Whether to be promoted or not is their sentence. The Wuxuan Department is similar to the Wenxuan Department, but it is in charge of the promotion of all military officers. As the name suggests, the Arsenal Department is in charge of all military equipment, weapons, local warehouses, and barracks construction. These four departments hold heavy power, and were called the four major fatalists in the Ming Dynasty.

However, now the four major fat in Beijing have become five major fat in the world. The newly added one is the Salt Affairs Department of the Taxation Department, which is the department where Ma Shaoguang is going to serve as the chief officer.

It is very simple to become a fatty and shortage of salt department. It is a specialty for salt! The salt tax will be charged three million silver dollars every year. If this kind of good place is not considered fatty, then there will be no good place.

Ma Shaoguang was relieved when he heard Lin Yangzu say this. He was not afraid of forming cliques in the officialdom for personal gain. What Ma Shaoguang was afraid of was that these people were dragging him into the fight between the princes. At most, it was to get rid of the official position and go home. If it was not easy to get involved in the fight for the throne, the whole family would lose their heads.

Ma Shaoguang felt relieved and bowed and smiled, "This is natural. I will naturally have to visit my brothers when I first arrived. When I went to the tax department to report in the afternoon, I will arrange some brothers in the evening!"

Lin Yangzu was overjoyed when he heard Ma Shaoguang say this. The Salt Affairs Department has too much power. Every year, the money involved in the salt industry is tens of millions of silver dollars. Who doesn’t want to get involved with such a big benefit? Although the big head of the Salt Industry has been divided up by several court officials, the remaining soup is enough for him to enjoy. It is precisely because the salt industry has such great benefits that Lin Yangzu wants to make friends with the new Salt Affairs Department doctor.
