My life skills in Daming Liver

Zheng Tuo's public beheading, coupled with reports of his crimes, completely shocked the entire Annan community.

The people of Thang Long Palace naturally clapped their hands and applauded for dealing with such a corrupt official. They all shouted for the wisdom of the Special Procuratorate!

But for the officials of Governor Annan's Yamen, this was a wake-up call.

Zheng Jian finally realized one thing, why the Southeast was so calm about the establishment of Annan Governor's Office.

It can even be said that Southeast allowed them to fight for power and did not interfere too much in the affairs of the entire Governor's Mansion.

So the backhand is here?

Zheng Tuo is a relative of Zheng Jian, so Zheng Jian is naturally very aware of Zheng Tuo's corruption.

But when he was in power, no one dared to investigate Zheng Tuo.

But now that he is the Governor of Annan, as soon as he came to power, the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to him in a big way. Not only did he directly convict Zheng Tuo, but he also immediately executed him!

Only then did Zheng Jian realize the power of this special prosecutor's office.

Should Zheng Tuo die? Anyone who has committed so much corruption should certainly die, and Annan also has laws. The evidence in Zheng Tuo's case can be said to be conclusive, and he will definitely be executed according to the law.

But in recent years, Annan has never executed a minister for corruption, and even very few have been punished.

In particular, the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately killed an Annan minister, Zheng Jian, a relative of the Annan Governor. The meaning is self-evident.

The major forces in Annan who had just carved up various positions in the Annan Governor's Mansion immediately calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.

Only then did they realize who Annan was in charge.

Zheng Jian's relative, the dignified prefect of Thang Long Prefecture, killed him immediately. Even after the verdict was handed down, he only notified the Annan Governor's Office.

The dignitaries who have just divided up the Annan Governor's Office today are no longer the same as before. They may be investigated or even tried and executed by the Special Procuratorate for certain things at any time. The days of being domineering in Annan are gone. Returned.

This also completely calmed down the entire Annan officialdom. Some guys who were as unclean as Zheng Tuo immediately resigned from the Annan Governor's Mansion.

However, resigning was of no use, especially when the Procuratorate saw Cui He's success and immediately targeted these corrupt officials who were filled with public resentment. Several of those who resigned were also targeted.

The Annan Governor-General's Office has no way to do this, because they have no ability to influence the affairs of the Special Prosecutor's Office.

The Special Metropolitan Procuratorate has completely independent funds, and appointments and dismissals are made through independent appointments in the southeast. The Annan Governor's Office cannot interfere with the personnel and finance of the Special Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it does not even know what cases these inspectors are handling.

In contrast, this institution, which is feared and hated by the entire Annan officialdom, has rapidly accumulated a high reputation among the Annan people.

It is almost an ideal organization that is not afraid of the powerful and makes decisions for the people. Cui He arrested and executed his former boss, which is just like the plot in a legendary drama, full of the thrill of punishing corrupt officials.

Young scholars in Annan even started a wave of reading, because to become a censor of the Special Metropolitan Procuratorate, one needs to pass the special examination in the southeast, and the content of the examination is Su Ze's new knowledge.

Being able to become the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has almost become the common dream of ordinary writers from poor families in Annan.

A large number of new learning books became bestsellers, and a craze for learning Chinese was set off among young Annan scholars.

Gu Xiancheng did not expect that this special Metropolitan Procuratorate would play such a big role. He was indeed the Grand Governor!

Such an organization intimidated the Annan Governor's Mansion and gave the Southeast an entry point to intervene in Annan affairs.

At the same time, it increased the centripetal force of young scholars in Annan and won over ordinary people in Annan.

With the incident, the prestige of Annan's current Governor-General's Office has been hit. This is really wonderful!

Gu Xiancheng soon discovered that Annan officials had become closer to the Central Plains. Such an organization suddenly felt fearful of the separatist forces that had originally tried to fight against the Central Plains through Annan nationalism.

By investigating and punishing corrupt officials, Southeast Asia regained the hearts and minds of Annan.

For ordinary people, whether they are Houli or Beimo, when dynasties change, there are still domineering officials above their heads.

But the people from the Central Plains came, and now the officials no longer resorted to extortionate taxes, and ordinary people also had the opportunity to redress their grievances.

This is already a huge improvement, and no one wants to go back to the days of the past!

Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but sigh, the Governor was really awesome.

But after finishing this matter, Gu Xiancheng and Chi Hongmo boarded the fast boat back to Nanjing.

Their period of observing the government has ended and they will return to Nanjing to take the department selection examination.

According to Southeast's system, they, who were Jinshi last year, have to observe the politics of various departments.

After observing the administration, you will take the selection examination organized by the unified organization, and only those who pass it can officially become officials of this department.

Now Gu Xiancheng and Chi Hongmo, this group of Jinshi scholars, have completed their studies and are about to return to Nanjing to take the examination.

For this kind of exam, Gu Xiancheng, the god of learning, naturally didn't care, but Chi Hongmo started intense review work, studying hard to make up for the entire boat back to the southeast.

The content of the "selective" test is naturally not eight-part essay.

They are mainly based on the practical work of relevant departments, plus questions on policy theory and political theory. Because the target group of the selection examination is no longer all scholars, but current or future officials, it must be close to work practice.

However, although the selection examination is conducted separately for each department, all questions are uniformly set and corrected by the examination bureau under the leadership of the Minister of Education to eliminate the possibility of internal fraud and private appointment of official positions within each department.

Chi Hongmo is naturally not worried about the practical questions, but there is also a general theory besides practical work. This is a comprehensive examination to examine new learning, official document writing, and government affairs processing. Chi Hongmo is not that big of a concern. Got it.

Although as a first-class Jinshi, Chi Hongmo can still stay in Xingrensi Guanzheng even if he fails the selection examination.

But Chi Hongmo wanted to pass the selection examination as soon as possible, because according to the official system of the southeast, if he did not pass the selection examination, he would not be able to become a regular official and could only enjoy the treatment of ninth rank.

For the officialdom, one year of seniority has a great impact. If you want to be promoted as soon as possible, you must be faster than others.

Moreover, as one of the first batch of Jinshis in the Southeast to open subjects for admission, Chi Hongmo is very aware of the situation of the Pingren Department. Nowadays, the Pingren Department has a serious shortage of officials, and this department is becoming more and more important. If he cannot become a full-time official this year, he will have to work with the people behind him. The Jinshi who participated in the selection competed together.

The first-class Jinshi in Beijing will take the selection examination for the second eunuch of the Seven Divisions and Five Temples in Nanjing, and the second-class Jinshi assigned to the local area will take the local selection examination.

When Gu Xiancheng and Chi Hongmo rushed back to Nanjing, they soon met their old classmates.

However, at this time, no one was interested in gathering, and they were all nervously waiting for the upcoming selection examination.

Tang Xianzu also rushed back to Nanjing from Suzhou. Just when he opened his dusty dormitory for many days, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice behind him.

"Brother Tang?"

Tang Xianzu looked back and saw that it was Gu Xiancheng who recommended him to the Railway Department.

Tang Xianzu had complicated emotions when he thought of Gu Xiancheng.

He has indeed been trained in the Railway Company. He has grown rapidly in this year and is now able to take charge of his own role in the Railway Company.

Now Tang Xianzu has been regarded as a rising star, and the Railway Department has become the most important department of the entire Ministry of Industry, as Gu Xiancheng said back then.

There are even rumors now that the Railway Department will be separated from the Ministry of Industry and made a temple or supervisory-level department directly under the cabinet.

If this is the case, as the Railway Department is a highly professional department, then Tang Xianzu, the de facto second-in-command of the Railway Department, can be quickly promoted to important positions once he passes the selection examination.

Even the head of the railway department, Lu Gang, has told Tang Xianzu that as long as he can pass the selection examination, he can be promoted to the position of deputy chief as quickly as possible. Even the position of chief of the railway department belongs to him. .

Gu Xiancheng was very happy to see Tang Xianzu. He immediately said: "Brother Tang, I heard that Songjiang Railway Company hired you to be the general manager with a high salary, but you rejected it?"

Tang Xianzu nodded. Songjiang Railway was a private railway company funded by Songjiang. Due to the lack of professional management talents, almost all of Tang Xianzu's subordinates when he was preparing for Susong Railway were poached by this company.

As the person in charge of the entire Su-Song Railway, Tang Xianzu was the only manager in the world who had presided over railway projects in the entire southeast (the other was Lu Gang, who presided over the construction of the Xuzhou Railway), so he was naturally poached by the Songjiang Railway.

Xu Kun, the top director of Songjiang Railway, personally visited Tang Xianzu and offered Tang Xianzu an extremely exaggerated annual salary to serve as the general office of Songjiang Railway and be fully responsible for the preparation of the Songjiang Railway construction project.

In the end, Tang Xianzu rejected the invitation. After contacting the railway, Tang Xianzu became more convinced that this was the future.

Tang Xianzu once saw the map of the Grand Governor Su Ze, which was Su Ze's planned railway line across the country. Tang Xianzu was not satisfied with building such a small section of the Songjiang Railway.

"Come on, Brother Tang, you and I are in the same department, so we need to have a good get-together today!"
