There were very few formal corporations in the yamen in the Ming Dynasty, and the so-called "classic officials" were included. There were only three officials in each room, one official and two official documents. This was decided by the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

But with the development of the times and the population increases, the complicated affairs of all parties in the yamen are not qualified by two or three clerks. In order to deal with official duties, the yamen hired several "book offices" who helped write documents and "helpers" who helped run errands. These officials who are not registered are called "non-comprehensive officials", which actually means temporary workers.

Yes, He Jin spent a lot of effort and showed off his cleverness and wanted to find a temporary worker in the yamen...

It sounds a bit sad, but in fact it is not.

In a feudal royal society, as long as it is related to power, it will naturally become precious. And the identity of people who are related to power will become different.

In the eyes of the common people, the official's blue shirt and the official scarf are symbols of the official's status. They are another class figure different from them, high-end, elegant and upscale.

Therefore, although it is just a "non-classical official" book, it is really not so easy to become a writer.

Yesterday, after Mr. Chen left, He Jin ran to the yamen to issue a certificate of innocence, and asked the neighbors to file a joint guarantee on this letter of guarantee. The reason for this is to be the first choice for the clerk, which is to be honest in family background and be honest without any mistakes.

Thanks to the good popularity left by the cheap dad, this matter is very easy to do.

However, this is just an easy first level. Next, you have to go to the yamen to take the exam and you can become a glorious temporary worker after passing.

Early this morning, my mother woke He Jin up rarely, tenderly and kindly, and specially found the robe of her father who had been the cheap one, put it on for He Jin. She laid another bowl of steaming noodles and made two poached eggs.

"Jin'er, my mother has been misunderstanding you before. It turns out that you have accomplished such a big thing quietly. It's really..." As she said that, my mother's tears were about to shed, but then she wiped herself and said solemnly: "You must be successful, and you will inherit your father's business. Mom is optimistic about you!"

For me, I originally thought that my son was healthy and was willing to work honestly.

Unexpectedly, this son, who was so silly and burned in his mind, somehow climbed to the line of the yamen master and even had to do a errand work... This was simply that the ancestral grave was filled with smoke!

But just when my mother was feeling very happy and didn't know how to express it, He Jin, who had sucked the noodles, scratched her head and said with a strange look on her face: "Mom, I didn't expect that you really have a gentle and kind side..."

Cui was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and kicked He Jin in the ass: "Boy, what do you mean? In your heart, can you always be a tigress?"

After hitting this kick, Cui relaxed and He Jin felt relieved: Well, it was this familiar feeling... This person is just pretentious!

After leaving the yard, He Jin walked towards Chen Ming's house.

"Mr. Chen, have everything been done?" He Jin asked straight to the point when he got home.

He thought the answer was yes, but unexpectedly, Chen Ming showed a hint of shyness and embarrassment on his face, and said, "He Xiaoguanren, this matter may be a bit difficult to deal with..."

He Jin couldn't help but look down and asked, "Is the quota in the yamen full?"

"No," Chen Ming waved his hand and said, "The old and new masters will always be vacant for some quotas. The reason why the young officials came to find me must have seen this a long time ago."

"What a difficult solution?"

Mr. Chen's expression became even more strange. He hesitated to get around the topic and explained awkwardly: "Little official, if possible, remember to hide it from the son of He Bao..."

He Jin's eyes rolled and he immediately understood: His cheap father has a very good reputation among the neighbors, but where is the yamen?

The temple is small and the wind is strong, the pool is shallow and there are many turtles, and there are many demons and monsters. The cheap father is upright and honest, so naturally he can't pee in the same pot with many people.

Now that he is going to apply for a job in the yamen, he may be somewhat excluded.

"It's okay, as long as the exam is fair, I have confidence that I can get a letter to take office." When things come, He Jin couldn't lose his ambition and said to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen was not so optimistic: "Oh... the matter is done by others, just try it out. If it really doesn't work, I will give you my face and find a close job for you."

He Jin suddenly became depressed: Follow him, why did you get along with him? In your mind, do I fit in with him?

The two of them went out with their own worries, crossed a few streets, and arrived at the most prosperous and lively Yaqian Street in Cizhou.

This place can be said to be more familiar to He Jin. After all, the Zuidongfang Restaurant not far from the yamen can be said to be the starting point for him to travel through his life.

In addition to Zuidongfang Restaurant, there are also police chief shops, clinics, pharmacies, hotels, teahouses, rice shops, and pawn groceries on the street. There are hawkers who set up stalls to shout, yashi shops who are rushing to start business, slums who are waiting to write paper for others, and half-loving lawyers who have studied "The Law of the Ming Dynasty"...

Anyway, as long as you can think of business related to yamen affairs, there are everything here. Even a humble store, He Jin saw that it was a coffin seller...

In front of the yamen is the "Shenmingting Pavilion" that specifically exposes bad things in evil people - this is Zhu Yuanzhang's pioneering move. In order to educate the people, he stipulated that Shenming Pavilion be established in prefectures, counties and villages in townships: Anyone who commits crimes in the territory will write down the mistakes and clearly list them on the pavilion, so that people know how to be afraid and dare not do evil.

After passing the Shenming Pavilion, there was a more famous eight-character wall, with notices and sentences on the walls, and there were a few prisoners wearing shackles under the wall.

The so-called "the eight characters of the yamen are facing south, so don't come in if you have any reason or not" refers to this eight characters wall.

Walking through the eight-character wall, Chen Ming took He Jin straight into the yamen.

The county yamen gate is not guarded, but the second gate is directly connected to the corridor, which is behind the Yimen Gate, where the main area of ​​the yamen is located, and there are access guards. If an idle person wants to continue to move forward, he must be filial.

There is also a pavilion in the corridor behind the Yimen Gate, with a stone tablet in the pavilion with three big words "Kong Shengming" written on it, and there are sixteen characters behind it: your salary and salary, people's wealth, people's wealth, people's lower sects are easy to abuse, and God can't deceive you!

This is another pioneering move by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Shenming Pavilion educates the people, and the Jieshi Pavilion warns officials.

He Jin felt that if the master asked a case in the lobby and saw these sixteen words as soon as he looked up, it would probably feel quite exciting.

It is probably because of this reason that the masters of all prefectures and counties always ask questions in the second hall, and basically don’t sit in the lobby if they have nothing to do.

After passing through the Yimen Gate, Chen Ming finally led He Jin to the main courtyard of the Yamen, walked through several rows of corridors, and came to the Limu Party, which was located alone.

The official was from the ninth rank and was the lowest-level official in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the yamen, this position was the head of all the officials, in charge of cashier documents and division of state affairs.

According to the regulations, the official must personally inquire about the examination. For temporary workers such as applying for a letter office, the official needs to nod and approve it.

Chen Ming waved his hand and asked a helper to come in and report it, and then explained to He Jin: "He Xiaoguan, you have to remember, don't say you are He Bao's son..."

He Jin thought he understood and nodded, "Don't worry, Master, if you don't have to, you won't talk too much."

Chen Ming nodded, but he still seemed a little worried.

But at this moment, the gang had already come out and said, "Master, Lord Limu is just free, let that person come and try it..."

He Jin immediately wanted to follow the messenger in.

But just as he raised his foot, Chen Ming behind him seemed to have made some decision and said, "Forget it, I will accompany you in. No matter what, Liu Bian wants to give me some face!"
