Chapter 624 Humanity and Sophistication
Naturally, they have no shortage of errand runners around them, but Mu Yuan is smart and such people are exactly what they lack.
But Mu Yuan had made a mistake before and was neglected for more than a year, so they didn't dare to have any other thoughts. They didn't expect that Jiang Youzhen would keep Mu Yuan by his side as soon as he came?
Is it that he doesn't know what happened to Mu Yuan, or is he just being fearless?
Wu Mian sneered. This idiot, does he really think he can get a bargain? He just came to the Hanlin Academy but didn't know how to ask around. Such a person might offend the rich and powerful one day.
I just don't know which government office I will be thrown into next. It should depend on the offense I have committed, right? It's not easy to be a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. There are many people eyeing this position.
Among the five of them, only Huang Mintao and Jiang Youzhen are top scorers in the imperial examinations.
Although this place is called Zhuangyuan Pavilion, not all of them are Zhuangyuan. Generally, editors will work here. Just like him, he climbed up step by step from Shujishi.
Just wait and see! No one knows how long this colleague can work with them.
"It just so happens that I have just arrived and am not very familiar with the Imperial Academy. Mu Daizhao is very capable, and it would be a great consideration for the scholar to have him help me."
Jiang Youzhen didn't care what they thought, because Mu Yuan had already done something for her.
"That's true! Mu Daizhao is very capable, and Lord Jiang has been a great help!" Speaking of Mu Yuan, Wang Xingzhi felt a little envious and couldn't help but look up from the book.
Mu Yuan quickly cleaned up the tables and chairs. The large furnishings in the room were all brought from the warehouse. Jiang Youzhen had just arrived, so he had to go get the four treasures of the study and some small ornaments.
Mu Yuan took care of this for Jiang Youzhen, so Jiang Youzhen didn't need to worry about it at all. It must be said that it was really enjoyable to order people to do things.
While Mu Yuan went to get the four treasures of the study, Jiang Youzhen was thinking about what to do next.
After receiving the errand, the scholar gave her a month to work, which was considered ample time for her.
The second volume is the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Personnel. First, she has to understand the offices and functions of all officials.
After careful recollection, there must be hundreds or even thousands of people in this Dayun Dynasty, from the first-rank officials to the lower-ranking officials?
How many civil and military officials are there if they are classified and some are sent out to other places?
With so much work to do, he only has an errand boy to do it. How can this scholar have the nerve to do that?
Thinking about it this way, one month is actually tight? Taking a deep breath, if she didn't know something about Beijing officials, this would really be a huge project.
As for the officials who were sent out, she had to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to look for information. However, Wenyuan Pavilion had archives, but they certainly did not have the details of the Ministry of Personnel. In this case, she had to go to the Ministry of Personnel.
However, to go to the Ministry of Personnel, you must go to the academician to get a pass. The Ministry of Personnel is not far away, but you can't just visit it casually.
Thinking of this, Jiang Youzhen decided to go to Mr. Qian's study before leaving work today.
Mu Yuan moved very quickly, with beads of sweat on his forehead when he arrived. He took the small basket in his hand, which contained the four treasures of the study and two small ornaments.
One is a solid wood root carving of a magpie perching on a plum tree, and the other is a white jade ornament of five sons passing the imperial examinations.
It can be seen that these two pieces are just ordinary stuff, which are the leftovers after people have been picking and choosing. But fortunately, the carvings are good, they look quite unique, and they have good meanings.
Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything. Of course, this place couldn't be the same as his own home, so he could only use it reluctantly!
Put the four treasures of the study in place, the pen holder and the pen washer, and it looks ready.
Jiang Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the tea bowl and teapot beside her. They were made of celadon, and she was a little dissatisfied.
After taking a look at the tea bowls and teapots used by others, they were all good, especially Huang Mintao, who had a whole set of white jade tea sets in front of him, which was quite luxurious.
The items placed in front of other people were either fine white porcelain or purple clay teapots, which were much more delicate than the celadon in her hand.
Jiang Youzhen thought that she should have brought all of them. If so, she would bring her own tea set tomorrow.
"Lord Jiang, I wonder if you have been to Mr. Qian's place just now?" Lu Ming turned around and looked at Jiang Youzhen.
"I went to visit him first." Jiang Youzhen nodded.
"Did the Master assign you any tasks? We have been compiling the first volume of the canon recently. Do you want to participate?"
Hmm? They asked me to join right after I arrived? Wouldn't that mean they were sharing my achievements? Are they so kind?
Although he also wanted to see the specifications of their first volume, after all, Master Qian only spoke in general terms, Jiang Youzhen still felt that those who were trying to please others were either traitors or thieves.
Wu Mian secretly rolled his eyes. This Lu Ming just liked to order new people around. He knew what Lu Ming was planning. Jiang Youzhen would not be included in the list.
Wang Xingzhi frowned, "Lord Lu, this is a task assigned by the Master Scholar. How can you let Lord Jiang do it for you?"
This Lu Ming must want Jiang Youzhen to help with proofreading. Although proofreading can be handed over to lower-level officials, Lu Ming is always afraid of making mistakes and has to perform in front of the scholar.
"Hehe! We have almost finished this job. There is no need to trouble Lord Jiang. We can do it ourselves." Huang Mintao saw that the atmosphere was weird and hurried out to smooth things over.
"That's right! I didn't think it through. Perhaps the scholar has assigned other tasks to Lord Jiang." Lu Ming smiled awkwardly at Jiang Youzhen.
In just a short while, without even saying a few words, Jiang Youzhen had a general understanding of the personalities of these people.
Lu Ming likes to haggle and take advantage of small things, he is very shrewd.
Wu Mian was always aloof and disdained to get involved in such topics.
Wang Xingzhi is as honest as the rumors say, but he has a good heart.
Huang Mintao looks like a good guy who likes to smooth things over.
However, it must be said that after working together for many years, these people already know Lu Ming's character very well.
Unexpectedly, these few people started to scheme against each other. Jiang Youzhen can already imagine how colorful his future life will be.
Jiang Youzhen smiled and said, "I did receive another job."
Lu Ming's eyes suddenly flickered, "I wonder what the errand is?"
"It is also a volume of the Code, but I have no idea where to start. It just so happens that we have already started the first volume. May I borrow it to take a look?"
Jiang Youzhen sighed as he spoke, looking worried.
Lu Ming rolled his eyes and asked, "You are the only one who can compile it? What content should you compile?"
"It's the second volume of the Ministry of Personnel. Lord Lu has it. Can I borrow it?"
Lu Ming was shocked, and even the others looked at him in surprise. There were only four of them compiling one volume, but how could Qian Xueshi let Jiang Youzhen compile one volume alone?
"The Ministry of Personnel has so many rules and regulations, and you are the only one?" Wang Xingzhi finally put down the brush in his hand. Isn't this too harsh?
"I heard that Lord Jiang is very quick-witted. Perhaps Lord Qian has confidence in you! You are indeed an outstanding person that even the princes value. We are ashamed of ourselves!"
Wu Mian is always sarcastic and always speaks with sarcasm.
