Chapter 2824: Demoted and released

Zhou Liru has already entered the Tai Hospital as an intern. He will graduate in April and will either stay at the Tai Hospital or be sent to various medical offices.

It will be very busy after that, so the Liu family asked for a wedding date years ago and specially arranged the wedding in March.

Today is the day for her to add makeup.

Her classmates and friends, as well as some people close to the Zhou family, would also come to add makeup.

Mrs. Tang came because of Zhou Man's sake, so she came over after adding things.

Zhou Man closed the door, turned around and went to the garden behind with Mrs. Tang to enjoy the flowers and talk, "I have something to think about."

Mrs. Tang had also heard some rumors and sighed: "According to your senior brother, you are implicated by Master Xiao Zheng and you are going to be demoted and sent away?"

Although everyone in the palace and the court had a tacit understanding, these things did not spread.

First of all, this matter is not a small thing, but it is not a big deal. Spring is coming and everyone is busy.

Zhou Man nodded, and in turn comforted Mrs. Tang, "This is what we asked for, so you don't have to worry, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Tang asked: "Do you know where you are going?"

However, this matter cannot be disclosed in advance. Now there are no more than two palms who know that they are going to Qingzhou, so Zhou Man said vaguely: "It depends on how your Majesty distributes it."

The emperor was very considerate to Zhou Man and waited until her niece's makeup was done before issuing the order.

Zheng Gu was fined ten months for dereliction of duty and was appointed as the director of the Luozhou Medical Department. He was convicted and made meritorious service. Zhou Man was a believer who failed to do anything and was demoted to the post of the director of the Qingzhou Medical Department and took office at a later date.

As a result, Zhou Man's official position as a fifth-grade imperial physician was no longer in his possession, and he became a seventh-grade imperial doctor in Qingzhou.

Fortunately, the official position of Chongwen Guan has not changed. Not only can she occupy the fourth-grade position, she also still has the power to write directly to the emperor.

So Zhou Man took the new appointment letter and went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Liu Shangshu and said to him: "Please give me a new job."

She said: "Put the job fields in Pucun under the official title of my Chongwen Guan, and take back the job fields in Jiannanzhuang as the job fields of my Imperial Medical Office."

Anyway, after being demoted, you have to take back a certain amount of job land, as long as this number matches.

Liu Shangshu looked at it and then said: "There are more fertile fields over there in Jiannanzhuang than in Pucun. Why did you choose to give up the farmland over there?"

When Zhou Manfen got the job in Pucun, she was just a small sixth-grade imperial doctor. The position in Pucun was good, but in comparison, it was still not as good as when she was promoted to the fourth-grade editor.

At that time, she was a popular figure in the eyes of the emperor and the prince, so the Ministry of Revenue specially gave her the land in Jiannanzhuang from among the fields.

The land in that area is not only flat, but also fertile. Most of it is fertile farmland, and there are more paddy fields than dry fields.

Manbao sighed and said: "But my family has been running the job fields in Pucun for a longer time, and the investment is greater. The current income is higher than that in Old Nanzhuang, so that's it, let's trade the job fields in Pucun with Old Nanzhuang.

."

Hubu had no objection, because she was the one exchanging good things for bad things, so she naturally agreed.

Then as soon as he signed the official document, Zhou Man said: "Didn't the White Prince Consort get promoted last year? However, he didn't catch up with last year's allocation of land. It should be allocated this year. Why not give him the old Nanzhuang piece?"

?”

Liu Shangshu:......

Zhou Man said this, and the next day Bai Erlang came in person to reserve a job field in Jiannanzhuang.

After a few days, even the emperor knew about it.

He didn't want to know, but there were all kinds of rumors outside, and Gu Zhong brought them out when he talked about the outside news.

"Many people said that they didn't expect that the princesses even put makeup on Mr. Zhou's niece, but only two days later, His Majesty demoted her and sent her away. He said he was not sure whether Mr. Zhou had fallen out of favor or had lost his favor.

Still favored."

The emperor hummed: "They underestimate me too much. The person who said this must be a woman, and she has a bad relationship with the husband of the family, otherwise she would not know my plan."

It is not a secret that he wants to rectify the local medical office and make it take root in the local area. All the officials in the court who have some brains know the reason and purpose of Zhou Man's exile.

"anything else?"

Gu Zhong smiled and said: "The other thing is Mr. Zhou's job."

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Mr. Zhou's job fields are all managed by his own family and are never managed by the Household Department. Oops, I heard that the income is more than twice that of the household department. In addition, the tenants on the job fields have a difficult life.

Their lives are better than those of public tenants. In just a few years, all the tenant farmers in Pucun have built new houses."

The emperor couldn't help but sit up straight, "I vaguely heard someone say this, and they also said that they wanted to follow Zhou Man's model of managing job fields to manage the job fields in the hands of Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Gu Zhong also tilted his head and thought hard. After thinking for a long time, he said uncertainly: "It seems that the prince mentioned it, but it was several years ago, and I can't remember it clearly."

The emperor patted his thigh and said, "That's the prince! Well, call him and ask him, is Zhou Man's job really so good?"

Gu Zhong agreed with a smile, and while asking someone to call the prince, he joked with the emperor: "I heard that the Prince Consort and Mr. Bai invested money in Mr. Zhou's Zhuangzi before they became officials, so they have been doing it all these years.

There is a profit, this time Mr. Zhou returns the land, and the Prince Consort goes directly to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for it."

The emperor frowned and said, "The allocation of job fields is a state matter. How can he get the Ministry of Household Affairs to give it to him directly?"

Gu Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty forgot, the Prince Consort was promoted last year, but at that time he had already passed the time of separation of duties. As a rule, you have to wait one more year."

The emperor's face looked better now, but he still said: "This is not good. What if the Ministry of Revenue shows favoritism because he is the consort?"

There are too many tricks in job fields. It is a routine operation to divide more fields, or avoid bad fields and directly give the fertile ones to the other party;

The more ruthless ones got together, and after a few years their professional fields turned into private fields, and disappeared inexplicably.

Gu Zhong responded with a smile and asked: "Your Majesty, would you like to knock on the household department?"

The emperor thought for a while and said: "It is understandable that Bai Cheng wants that piece of land. After all, they have been operating it and have invested a lot in it before. Let's give it to them, but we have to tell the Ministry of Revenue not to give it an inch more."

Zhou Man's official position in the imperial hospital was pushed to the end, from being a fifth-grade imperial doctor to being a seventh-grade medical officer.

Officials in the local medical office do not have preferential treatment in terms of job title, but they will receive more salary and their salary will be higher than that of officials of the same grade.

This meant that all her fifth-rank positions would be taken back. The two levels of officials Bai Erlang was promoted to were obviously unaffordable, and at least half of her positions would have to be taken back to the household department.

The emperor was afraid that the household department would think that Bai Cheng was the consort, so he gave him all the job fields in Jiannanzhuang, which would not please him, but harm him.

The censor at Yushitai is not a vegetarian.

Gu Zhong understood the emperor's intention and went to the household department with a smile to knock on it.

So other officials who had been eyeing Zhou Man's job field immediately took action. Some of them were not assigned a job field because they were promoted last year, and others were thinking of changing their job field positions...

Of course, those who do this are all officials below the fourth rank. Although the income from such a small position is higher than their own, it is not worth the cost of officials above the rank of minister.
