From the seventh rank of local county magistrate, he was promoted to the sixth rank of imperial official and censor.

This step is a real success.

It was very hot inside and outside the county government hall.

But there are also people who are as silent as cicadas.

Yu Sigong, who had just made a report for Shangguan, froze up and immersed himself in drinking tea, not daring to raise his head to look at someone.

Ouyang Rong politely dealt with the accompanying officials who were praising and congratulating him.

"Magistrate Ouyang, no, it should be Ouyang Yushi. Congratulations. From now on, we will be both courtiers and colleagues."

Song Hao smiled and handed the Zhu Jinzhe in his hand to Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong glanced at Jin Zhe and took it silently, but did not open it immediately.

Seeing that things were almost done, Song Hao put his hand on the armrest and prepared to stand up.

"Master Song, please stay. This time, Master Song has come all the way to thank you. However, I have something to do here, so I must ask Master Song to make another trip..."

Song Hao paused when he was halfway up, and turned around to look. He saw the promising young county magistrate placing the unread brocade folds on the table, then silently took out a stack of brocade folds from his sleeves and presented them with both hands.

"This is……"

Song Hao was slightly stunned, and other officials in the lobby also looked confused.

…

At the same time, at the gate of Longcheng County Government Office.

Figures of people gathered around.

Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian's family, as well as Diao Xian Cheng, Yan Liulang and other county officials were waiting anxiously and expectantly.

The main door of the county government office is wide open. Standing at the door and looking in, you can vaguely see the scene of the county government office inside.

But I couldn't hear any specific sound, so I couldn't help but feel curious.

Yan Liulang broke the silence outside the door with an expectant tone:

"Is the Ming government going to be promoted?"

"If nothing else, Ouyang Lianghan should be promoted."

It was Li Guo'er's clear voice. She held the butterfly slave in her arms and stroked its snow-white hair, cherishing her treasures:

"Since it is said to be an emissary from the Heavenly Official of the Divine Capital, he must have brought the edict with him.

"Imperial edicts are generally divided into two types, one is called a written document, and the other is called an imperial edict. The former deals specifically with important affairs, while the latter deals with the daily affairs of the court.

"So most of the edicts are official documents written by the deacons of the political hall, which are read by His Majesty and approved with the word "edict" at the end. The effect of the word "edict" alone is as effective as the law.

"In addition to the management of this dynasty, the appointment and dismissal of officials below the fifth rank only requires the political affairs hall or Tianguan to draw up a list and submit it to His Majesty for approval.

"Furthermore, this edict was personally sent by an official from the Heavenly Officials Department, so it should undoubtedly be about personnel transfers.

"Ouyang Lianghan has made great contributions to the construction of the Broken Wing Canal and deserves to be promoted. There is no doubt that he will move from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. But I don't know what official position has been arranged. Whether he will be directly promoted to the main state, or according to the rules, he will be promoted to the sixth rank, but he must go to Lingnan or the border area.

A term of office?"

The little girl with plum blossom makeup who had just gotten haircut spoke in a curious tone. She knew the central system of the imperial court very well and seemed to be naturally enthusiastic about it.

When Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian, Li Dalang, Yan Liulang and others heard this, their eyes lit up and they felt honored.

But immediately, Li Xian's smile faded, he frowned slightly, and looked at the county government hall with a mixture of joy and worry.

I don't know what I was thinking of, and I was quite distressed.

At this moment, everyone saw the figures in the lobby jumping for joy, which seemed like a happy event. Sure enough, after a while, a small official who went to inquire about the news ran out from the courtroom.

The small official said with great joy to Diao County Cheng and everyone:

"According to the decree of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lord Ming Mansion, for his meritorious service in water control, will be promoted to the Censorship Station to serve as the Censor!"

Pairs of eyes glanced at him.

Outside the mansion, the air was quiet for a short time, and then the pot exploded, and everyone was surprised.

"Attendant to the censor at the censor's desk?" Xie Ling Jiang Qiao looked a little surprised.

"What kind of official is this? Is it very good?" This is Confused Dan Yanrokuro.

"Beijing official!" Li Fusu exclaimed.

"Sixth-grade imperial official!" Li Guo'er said in a complicated tone.

"Reach to the sky in one step! Master Mingfu is on stage."

Diao Xian Cheng's small eyes were widened, he almost couldn't breathe, and his face turned red:

"I know it, I know it, Lord Mingfu is not a simple man! His official career is prosperous, his fortune is shining brightly, he is truly a noble man! I did not make a mistake, and I have lived hard and worked hard these days! Hahaha, the sixth-grade imperial censor,

Qingliu, who has returned to Beijing with a good job, can reach the sky in one step, and reach the sky in one step!"

Diao County Cheng jumped up on the spot, looked left and right, and shouted happily.

Those who didn't know better thought it was because he had been promoted. He seemed to be more excited than Ouyang Rong himself, which attracted Xie Lingjiang and others around him to look askance.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand it.

After all, from now on, the old county magistrate can be regarded as a good friend and "someone in the court". Moreover, Ouyang Rong, who made the first contribution to flood control, agrees to such a "smooth rise to success" treatment.

As the second official of the county town, not only his minor merits, but also his hard work in water control, he was naturally rewarded a lot. The bigger Ouyang Rong's reward was, the bigger his reward was accordingly. The two of them were tied to the same boat, helping each other in the same boat, and they depended on each other for wealth and wealth.

At present, Ouyang Rong was not only rewarded with an increase in official rank from seventh rank to sixth rank, but he also had the opportunity to be directly promoted to the capital.

In the eyes of some people, the latter is simply more difficult than the transition from seventh grade to sixth grade.

With the same rank, Beijing officials are naturally more noble than local officials.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, local official institutions were very bloated, and promotions to several minor levels were often the same as not being promoted, and the perception of improvement was not strong.

The institutions of the central court are relatively vertical, and the improvement to the next level is very obvious.

But this has also resulted in the fact that the vacant positions of Beijing officials are usually very popular, with fierce competition. There is a saying that if people from outside cannot squeeze in, it will be difficult for people inside to get promoted.

Let’s take a look at how many “white-headed Hanlins” there are in the Imperial Academy of China, who have wasted their whole lives in one position after becoming a Jinshi.

For another example, Ouyang Rong contradicted the empress in court and was transferred out of the capital. From Lintai Zhengzi, who was in the ninth rank, he was promoted to the remote Longcheng County Magistrate in the seventh rank.

In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this was all promotion and demotion in secret.

It would be better to continue to be Lintai Zhengzi, who is under the ninth rank, and be a noble minister of the emperor.

Even if you stay here for a lifetime, it's worth it, as long as you grow old, you will grow old. Besides, as long as you are not stupid, you can survive a few levels, defeat others with your lifespan, and focus on being an everlasting official...

This kind of scene is not uncommon in central Luoyang.

This shows the value of the word "Beijing Official".

After receiving the order, Ouyang Rong's official status as a sixth-rank official in the capital, if he occasionally went out to travel to prefectures and counties, he would not be in any way inferior to being a fifth-rank chief official in certain places, and he would also be regarded as a high-ranking official and a proper imperial official.

Imperial envoy.

Of course, this kind of situation is only placed in the officialdom of middle and low ranks.

If it is placed in the officialdom of the fourth rank or above, the rules will be different. After all, being a feudal official seems not bad.

All in all, at this moment, a sixth-grade Beijing official and censor, worthy of his age, was being born and rising in front of everyone outside the door.

It's nothing more than a steady rise to success.
