Chapter 1314: Great Conferment on Hundreds of Officials

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The list of officials who needed to be read out at the court was very long. Zhang Yuanji looked at Zhao Ran who was sitting in a wheelchair, and he looked impatient.  Zhao Ran responded with an apologetic smile, and then continued to sit still, listening to each name one by one.

    Yingtianfu Yin Wang Zongyi was among them. Because of his firm stance in this great change in the capital and his various support and cooperation in the restoration of the capital, Zhao Ran originally wanted him to serve as the chief envoy in a certain province.  As a political envoy, he embarked on the right path of taking charge of the six ministries. As it turned out, Wang Zongyi did not think so. He hoped that he could continue to serve as Yingtian Fuyin and continue to work for the people under the leadership of Abbot Zhao of Wenchang Guanzhao.

    Of course, if Abbot Zhao is willing to commend him for some of his minor achievements in the past, he would not mind seeking an additional title from a minister of the East Palace to raise his rank first.  Therefore, in today's imperial edict of conferring hundreds of officials, Wang Zongyi received the title of guest of the prince, and was upgraded from the third rank to the third rank. This is a more crucial step in promotion.

    Liang Yougao also made the same choice. He begged Zhao Ran to let him work in Shangyuan County for another two years, even if he was not promoted.  Liang Yougao was busy in June, which played a good role in connecting people. Of course, Zhao Ran would not chill the hero's heart. While fulfilling his wish, he also gave him a part-time job as the general judge of Tianfu.  He was raised from the sixth grade to the fifth grade.

    In the long edict, Zhao Ran heard Yang Shen's name, and was transferred from the fifth rank of Hanlin Academy to Beizhili, where he was appointed as the magistrate of Beiping Prefecture, from the third rank.  There are no chief envoys in the state capitals of North Zhili. When there is a prince in charge of North Zhili, he is responsible to the prince. When there is no prince to guard him, he is directly responsible to the six ministries.

    ??And Beiping Prefecture is known as the first prefecture in the North. As the prefect of Beiping Prefecture, it has a leading demonstration effect on Beizhili and even all the states in the North, and has a great influence.  Letting Yang Shen take up this position is not only a matter of promotion to the third level of the Imperial Academy, but also the intention of cultivating and reusing him.

    Zhao Ran heard Shi Weiming's name again. Shi Weiming's promotion was at the back. He was directly promoted from the head of the Zhejiang Qingli Department of the Sixth Rank Household Department to the Baochao Department of the Fifth Rank.  The official was promoted by two levels, but the authority was much different. The Baochao Department was an agency directly under the Ministry of Revenue, similar to Guangying Treasury, Military Storage Warehouse, etc., and was equivalent in level to the Thirteen Cleaning Officials Department of the Ministry of Household.  But certainly not comparable.

    The Baochao Department still had some power when the dynasty was first established, but unfortunately it soon fell into a state of excessive distribution. It fell into decline in just a dozen years. Now, six hundred years later, there is almost only an empty shell left.  To accommodate redundant officials, it will be difficult to see the shadow of Bao Chao in the market.

    Shi Weiming¡¯s level was not high enough. Standing outside Fengtian Hall, Zhao Ran couldn¡¯t see him, but he must have been muttering.

    After Shi Weiming, Zhao Ran heard from another person, it was Zhang Juzheng, an old acquaintance, who was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank by the right Zhongyun of Jinyou Chunfang, the chief secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion.

    The new emperor has just been established and there is no prince yet. For a foreseeable period of time, the subordinates of the East Palace will have nothing to do.  Therefore, Zhang Juzheng added a new position, which was also the director of the Imperial College.

    The Imperial College Si Ye is an official of the sixth grade. Although his rank is not high, his weight is not small. He is one of the deputies of the Imperial College's wine ceremony.  This is Zhao Ran's effort to put official studies and imperial examinations back on the right track. Whether he can do it well depends on Zhang Juzheng's ability.

    Among the civil servants' rewards, the last one was Zhang Cong, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy. He was promoted to the position of Hu Ke Shizhong. This was a low-ranking but very prominent position. Out of Zhao Ran's sight, he was ranked first in the Imperial Palace of Fengtian Palace.  The eighth-grade minister below me was so excited that he was shaking all over. He shouted long live the mountain in his mouth, but in his heart he was saying long live Abbot Zhao.

    Zhao Ran despises Zhang Cong's character, but he will not stop him from rewarding according to his merits. One code should be regarded as one code, and rewards should be rewarded for meritorious service. This is his principle in doing things.  Zhang Cong jumped out to solve a problem for Zhao Ran in the Fengtian Palace that day. No matter what his intentions were, Zhao Ran had to establish this concept: If you support me, I will give you meat to eat.

    After that came the rewards for generals, and the first one in line was Zhang Lue

    It is naturally impossible for everyone to put them in the scriptures. The promotion of the seven grades below the seven items.

    In addition, the emperor also followed the rules and issued a general amnesty to the whole country and released prisoners with less serious crimes. The provincial prosecutors and envoys immediately drafted a list of pardoned persons and reported it to the Ministry of Punishment for approval.

    After the emperor's coronation ceremony, Zhang Yuanji seemed to want to say something more to Zhao Ran, but in the end he didn't say anything more. Zhao Ran was relieved. Zhao Ran couldn't agree to Zhang Yuanji's request, and it would be difficult to complete it if he agreed.  It¡¯s best not to mention it.

    Zhang Yuanji left quickly, neatly and neatly without any sloppiness. Zhao Ran's farewell was procrastinated. After the emperor sent all the officials away, he arrived outside Chengtian Gate and a large number of people gathered around to hand over name cards and send messages.  Invited, all wereRan declined.

    He is in poor health now and is in a wheelchair. He has no time to go to banquets and socialize.

    Suchuan Yao pushed Zhao Ran onto the donkey cart, and Gu Tengjia also got on the carriage. The two carts headed for Qixia Mountain in tandem. After arriving at Wenchang Temple, the official appointment document confirming that Zhao Ran was the abbot of Wenchang Temple finally arrived.

    Holding this official document in his hand, Zhao Ran returned to the abbot's courtyard. With an excited heart and trembling hands, he absorbed the official document into the sea of ??qi. This time, he obtained the eighth chapter of the "Innate Merit Sutra" and entered the Void Refining Realm.  exercises.

    After looking at it for a moment, Zhao Ran didn't understand much, so he didn't study further. He has not yet given birth to a baby in his spiritual consciousness, and he is not a refiner. What is the point of refining the void?  Just go step by step.

    Gu Tengjia personally came with the dormitory patrol officer to deliver the food, and accompanied Zhao Ran and Suchuan Yao to dinner. While eating, he answered Zhao Ran's questions.  Especially on the issues of money and things, Gu Tengjia gave detailed explanations.

    Living in a prosperous place, Wenchangguan¡¯s annual net income is only 200,000 taels, which is far beyond Zhao Ran¡¯s expectation.  After carefully checking the accounts for three years, Zhao Ran found that Wenchangguan's ability to make money is not weak. In addition to the annual incense money and the resource retention paid by the various prefectures and palaces, there are also many Taoist properties that are continuously paying income.

    In the past three years, the total annual income of Wenchangguan has been around three million taels in silver. According to the rules, 70% is turned over to the general temple, and the remaining 900,000 taels, 70% - that is, more than 600,000 taels are subsidized to Maoshan.  It is Yuanfu Wanning Pavilion, with the remaining 300,000 used for evangelistic affairs and basic expenses.

    With 300,000 taels of silver per year, Wenchang Temple is a very wealthy Taoist temple. As far as Zhao Ran knows, Xuanyuan Temple in Sichuan Province only has 100,000 taels of available funds per year, and Wenchang Temple is three times that of Xuanyuan Temple.  But the problem is, Zhao Ran found an expenditure of "special preaching expenses" in the accounts. This expenditure was one hundred thousand taels every year for three consecutive years.  The expenditure of this money reduced Wenchangguan's income to two hundred thousand, and the room for maneuver was greatly reduced.

    Regarding this issue, Gu Tengjia smiled bitterly and said: "It has always been like this for more than three years, but it has increased greatly in the past twenty years."

    "Twenty years? One hundred thousand taels every year?"

    "Before the ninth year of Jiajing, it was thirty thousand taels per year; since the thirteenth year of Jiajing, it has been fifty thousand taels per year; since the nineteenth year of Jiajing, it has been one hundred thousand taels per year."

    Zhao Ran took a breath of air. After calculating this, the total amount of special preaching fees has reached 1.4 million taels!
