Although these people gathered under Zhang Ximeng were officials, they were more bookish. For example, Song Lian, who presided over the Hanlin Academy, was a very academic yamen.

As for Ye Chen, he served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and was in charge of drafting bills, taking over the functions and powers that belonged to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department was responsible for implementing and implementing the provisions of laws and regulations.

From these changes, it can be seen that the official system in Daming is rapidly becoming formalized and professionalized, and the speed of official expansion is far lower than the improvement of efficiency. It's completely different from that kind of redundant officials everywhere, people superfluous.

In line with the principle of using it to death, Dali Temple is currently busy with several laws at the same time... The core of which is the Land Law, which is also the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Ximeng has been advocating Juntian for so long, and his decree is also repeated, and everyone is used to it. However, the most crucial thing is still missing, which is to make the land equalization order a permanent land law, and Ye Chen is responsible for this work, and has already started.

"I don't expect to be able to do so many things. As long as I can fix these laws in this life, it's enough to smile Jiuquan. When I die, I don't want to be buried with me, so I put these laws in a box. If you are buried with me, I will be satisfied."

The big guy listened to what he said, and they all turned back the acid water. You are more shameless than Song Lian. These decrees are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. You are destined to last forever. If you dislike it, give it to us!

Ye Chen also felt the bad eyes of everyone, and quickly diverted the topic. He smiled and said to Jiang Nan: "Jiang Tiju, you can talk about it too! The branch office has been very prestige in the past few years? Pretty rewarding, right?"

Jiang Nan put down his chopsticks, looked at the big guy, and suddenly smiled.

"No! If it weren't for this official uniform, how could I sit at a table with all of you Gao Xian? In the past, if you don't kick me out, saying I don't understand the rules, I've offended the elders!"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.

Although the status of women has improved a lot, there are still not many people who can enter the courtroom. Taking various yamen as an example, only Jiang Nan can be in charge of a yamen.

However, in other yamen, there are some female officials in charge of official documents, especially Yushitai, who walked in front of all the yamen, perhaps because they felt that the female officials were not easy to buy, or they felt that the current female officials had nothing to do with other officials. In vain, he is serious in his work, and he is very attentive in investigating corrupt officials.

Recently, four female officials from the Censor's Desk were promoted to supervisory censors because of their decisiveness in handling cases.

"Jiang Tiju, don't make jokes, I don't dare to underestimate you, otherwise the Du Branch Bureau will be able to investigate our Dali Temple as a rude temple!"

Ye Chen's words caused a lot of laughter, and Song Lian suddenly said, "Jiang Tiju, have you considered getting married?"

This question was very abrupt. In normal times, Song Lian would definitely not open his mouth, but the atmosphere was harmonious at the moment, so he asked courageously.

Jiang Nan didn't care, but said lightly, "No."

"Then, why is that?"

"No reason!" Jiang Nan said: "I really like the affairs of the sub-bureau, checking the accounts, punishing the bad and promoting the good, and being able to sit at the same table with all the sages and talk eloquently. It's about giving birth to children and managing the affairs of the branch office, who will be in charge? Is it hard to take off the official clothes that you have worked so hard to earn? I won't do it!”

Song Lian was slightly stunned and couldn't help but say, "Jiang Tiju, you can't say that. The marriage is still very important. As for the other things, it can be a little slow, or it's not impossible to transfer to a leisurely yamen."

When he said this, he glanced at Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Ximeng, who had not spoken much, shook his head and said: "How can this be done! If you have to give up or change your official position because of marriage, it would be inhumane. You Song Xueshi didn't resign as a Hanlin Xueshi because you have an old wife at home! "

Song Lian's old face instantly collapsed, and he smiled bitterly: "Zhang Xiang, this, this can't be confused!"

"What can't be mixed up?" Zhang Ximeng said: "You just said that after a woman gets married, she wants to have children and can't concentrate on official duties, so it's not as convenient as a man... You are right, but you can't use this as a reason to reject a female official. ."

At this time, Liu Bowen, who had eaten three lion heads, suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, I support Zhang Xiang's view."

Song Lian grinned bitterly, "Can't the lion's head cover your mouth?"

Liu Bowen said with a smile: "I see it this way, if a female official weighs the pros and cons and is willing to give up, there is nothing to say. But this cannot be the rule of the court, otherwise others will use it to attack the female official. And brother Jing Lian, you Have you seen it somewhere? Do you know what peasant women are like? Do you say they are confinement?"

"Don't you want to sit?" Song Lian was surprised.

Liu Bowen shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to sit, it's that I can't afford it! For a whole month, I was at home and had to be served by others. The farmers couldn't afford it! Many women have to go to work in the fields within ten days after giving birth... I have also seen with my own eyes that a woman had a miscarriage on the first day, and in the afternoon of the next day, she went to harvest rice. There is no way, they are all poor."

Old Liu successfully brought the topic back to the people's livelihood economy, and everyone's interest suddenly dropped a lot, and when he looked at the delicious food on the table, it instantly faded a lot.

How hard is life!

At this time, Zhang Ximeng took over the words, "The suffering of life falls on both men and women, and it is everyone's business. This is the most basic truth. Therefore, when looking at the issue of female officials, we cannot simply distinguish between men and women. I feel that men are easy to use, women are not easy to use... Having children is not just a woman's business. If you need a short rest due to production leave, this should not be regarded as a loss to the court, but should be regarded as an increase in the world... Added a new members, is good for the whole.”

"And there is one more thing, have you ever thought about it, a knowledgeable and capable mother, a mother who can see the world and have all directions... Is there a high probability that her child will be better? If we put our eyes on it In the longer run, if this female official's mother has cultivated a great talent for the world, a future prime minister, or other outstanding talents... Do you still think that vacation is a loss?"

"this…"

Everyone present was stunned, how could they still look at things like this?

But if you think about it, it does make sense.

To have children, to multiply and prosper, this is a matter of the world.

An excellent mother is indeed more conducive to the growth of her children, and it has long been a consensus among the people to marry a wife and a virtuous person.

Just ask a woman, who can fight a **** path in the officialdom and gain an advantage in the competition with a group of men, can you say that she is not excellent?

Talent, the next generation!

This is the hope of a country.

Song Lian was a little stunned, and hurriedly bowed in admiration, "Zhang Xianggao sees me, I am in a state of deep admiration." Song Lian said again: "I still want to ask for advice, Zhang Xiang, if you are married, don't mind your wife's work for an official, right?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled generously: "It's a good thing to have the ability to be an official. What do I mind?"

This time, Song Lian bowed deeper and praised loudly: "Zhang Xiangzhi is enlightened, I have never seen it before. I have nothing to say except admiration!"

Everyone else followed suit, except Jiang Nan, who frowned and asked back: "Zhang Xiang, I think you mean that, so does Song Xueshi. Joining Qi Guogong's wife as an official in the court, you don't need to avoid suspicion? No? Will it lead to gossip?"

At this time Liu Bowen smiled, "Jiang Tiju, you are a blind eye. Others may need to avoid suspicion, but Zhang Xiang's character and knowledge are known to everyone. If anyone insists on shouting to avoid suspicion, I think the sub-bureau can do it. Check it out, see if this person is clean? Don't have a ghost in your heart!"

"Okay!" Jiang Nan said with a smile: "It's a foregone conclusion. If someone really talks about it, I'll check his account and let it fall into my hands, don't blame me for being rude!"

Saying that, Jiang Nan took a piece of honey juice and ate it on his own, unaware of the meaningful glances in his eyes.

Song Lian and Liu Ji nodded indiscernibly. They were both tacitly aware of it, and were thinking about whether to go on and on... At this time, Guo Ying came in a hurry, and seeing them having a dinner together, Guo Ying's saliva was drooling with admiration.

"Zhang Xiang, I, I am also your subordinate! How did you forget me?"

Sun Yan said very rudely: "Don't join in the fun, Gongweisi has always been directly under the superior, and Zhang Xiangke has never overstepped his authority!"

Song Lian also said, "That's right, Commander Guo, we are having fun together, what are you doing here?"

Guo Ying shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't want to disturb you either, but there is indeed a good thing that I have to say."

"What's the matter?" Song Lian asked subconsciously.

Guo Ying paused and didn't speak, but Song Lian immediately realized something. At this time, Zhang Ximeng got up and dragged Guo Ying to the next room.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Zhang Xiang, some time ago, Mao Gui dispatched Tian Feng to answer the sky. I hope we can provide 200,000 stone rations, 3,000 pairs of armor, and some bows and crossbows to restrain cavalry. He is going to rescue Liu Futong, but he is suffering from rations. We don't have enough weapons to ask us for help."

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, "This matter can't be agreed in a hurry, we also have to raise troops for the northern expedition. Mao Gui can help, but it can't affect us."

Guo Ying nodded, "Indeed, Li Xianggong also meant the same thing, but things have changed recently."

"What changes?"

"It's Tian Feng... He, he said that Daming has a sage and famous ministers, and he will definitely rule the world... He, he wants to see Zhang Xiang."

"see me?"

Guo Ying nodded, "Yes, I guess he wants to talk to Zhang Xiang about surrendering."

Zhang Ximeng frowned slightly, and Guo Ying added: "Tian Feng used to be a rebel army of the Yuan Dynasty, and his strength is not bad. He now occupies Dongping, with a total of 20,000 to 30,000 horses, and he is also a first-class under Mao Gui. General, if he can surrender, most of the Han and Song troops in Shandong will belong to us."

Zhang Ximeng did not rush to nod, but murmured: "There are dragons and phoenixes among the nobles of Mao, but Tian Feng is just a loner!"

"Let's go, I'll go see Tian Feng." Zhang Ximeng walked away...
