Chapter 565 What Does It Mean to Be Promoted?

Upon hearing this, Lin Tailai patted the copy of the sinner's edict into Chen Younian's hand, pointed at it and said, "Does it have the words 'Lin Tailai was reinstated and promoted' and other words in it?"

Chen Younian was worried and carefully read the full text of the Sin Ji Edict again before nodding and saying, "Yes."

There is no room for sloppiness in Quan Zheng. The old Quan Zheng cadres are so rigorous.

Lin Tailai said methodically: "It goes without saying that the official is restored to his original position. This is easy to understand. It is nothing more than restoring my treatment as a doctor of the Hanlin Academy's Editor and the Department of Etiquette.

It is this promotion of official positions that requires careful consideration by your officials.

This is the emperor's order. I am not confident about your professional level and doubt whether you can carry out the order well. "

Chen Youqing smiled contemptuously, "Who gave you the confidence to question the old government cadres?"

Then I heard Lin Tailai continue to say: "So I want to give you a test. Please explain to me, what does it mean to be promoted?"

Chen Younian replied without hesitation: "There are roughly two explanations for the so-called promotion of official positions. One is to be promoted and improve one's rank; the other is to concurrently receive other official positions."

However, Lin Tailai showed a look of disappointment on his face, "Superficial, too superficial! Is this your professional level?

In your mind, does it mean promotion only when one’s character is improved?

Don’t you, the literary anthology director, really know that in our Ming Dynasty, an improvement in character is also regarded as a promotion?

For example, if the county magistrate is appointed as the censor, he is also at the seventh rank, but it is considered a promotion!

There are also third-rank inspectors who are transferred to third-rank deputy capital censors and governors, which are also regarded as promotions! "

Chen Younian had a tight face and said nothing, saying nothing about Lin Tailai's statement.

Lin Tailai said loudly in surprise: "No way? As the current person in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the doctor of the First Department of Literature and Selection, you don't even know these common sense, right?"

Chen Younian: "."

This kind of notion of high-level and low-level official status is not clearly written in the system. To put it bluntly, it is an unspoken rule established by convention!

Lin Tailai can do whatever he wants, but Chen Younian, as the doctor of the Literature and Selection Department, represents an official status on the issue of government affairs, and cannot publicly express or admit such unspoken rules!

But this kind of helpless silence was deliberately ridiculed by Lin Tailai as "ignorance", which was so frustrating!

What's even more disgusting is that the other officials who were watching in the corner burst into laughter, as if they were very happy to see the superior official boss suffer.

At this moment, Wai Lang, a former member of the literary selection department, a former member of the merit examination department, and Zhao Nanxing, the current director of the merit examination department, rushed out and came to Chen Younian's rescue: "Lin Tailai! Are you here to do something, or are you here to talk nonsense?"

Lin Tailai replied: "As the saying goes, nothing can be achieved without rules. First define the concept of promotion, and then set the rules accurately, so that we can act according to the rules!

Get started now! There is nothing to discuss about the reinstatement of the official, but I have a few personal opinions to express about the promotion, lest you mess up the emperor's decree. "

Chen Younian came to his senses and responded: "Our official department welcomes expressions of opinions, but our official department also has its own rules!"

Lin Tailai ignored Chen Younian and talked eloquently: "First of all, it is not appropriate for me to be promoted to a Hanlin official position.

Because Hanlin officials are promoted by the emperor himself and do not go through the Ministry of Personnel, so the Ministry of Personnel is not qualified to increase their rank.

At the same time, Hanlin official rank is precious, and I have no great achievements, so it is indeed very inappropriate to be promoted to an official rank.

Therefore, the official position can only be used for the official position of Doctor of the Ministry of Rites. I believe your Ministry of Personnel has no objection to this, right? "

Chen Younian kept a straight face and said nothing, because these were the truth, and he could not deny them.

Lin Tailai continued: "But it is unrealistic for me, a fifth-grade doctor of etiquette, to upgrade his rank.

First of all, I still haven’t made any great achievements and am not qualified to improve my level.

Secondly, there are no fourth-rank official positions in the six ministries, and it is impossible for me, a doctor, to surpass the fourth rank and be directly promoted to the third-rank minister.

If it is transferred through other temples and prisons, the impact will not be good. After all, the quality of these yamen is much worse than that of the Ministry of Rites.

If I am asked to be demoted from the Ministry of Rites and go to a government office such as Taichang Temple or Honglu Temple, can that be called a promotion?

Therefore, it is completely impossible to upgrade my level. Do your officials agree with these analyses? "

Chen Younian didn't want to speak, but nodded. These analyzes were also reasonable.

The surrounding officials were talking a lot. They were all professional bureaucrats and knew the hierarchy of the officialdom. Lin Tai was fine with it.

Seeing that no one objected, Lin Tailai continued his analysis: "So if you want to give me, the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, a job, there is only one way, and that is to add a part-time job!

After all, Chen Bulang said just now that there are two categories of promotions, one is promotion and the other is increase.

Since you can't get promoted, you can only rely on adding part-time jobs.

But part-time jobs also have rules for part-time jobs. The quality of a new part-time job cannot be lower than that of a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette, otherwise it is meaningless and cannot be counted as a promotion!

For example, if a doctor in the Ministry of Rites holds the post of Taichang Temple Prime Minister or Imperial College Secretary, there will be no change in dignity from the original one, and it definitely cannot be called an additional official position! "

Lin Tailai's analysis sounds reasonable and compliant, but it is too trivial and the more I listen to it, the more annoying it becomes!

Chen Younian asked angrily: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lin Tailai calmed down and said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious, don't panic, soon, soon, the answer will be revealed soon!

What I mean is that if you use the official position of Doctor in the Ministry of Rites to add a part-time job, you cannot look for it at a lower level.

Let alone the temples and the prisons, even the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works, which are obviously inferior to the Ministry of Rites in terms of rank, are not considered.

And the Censorate, which has sufficient rank but no fifth-rank official, is also out of the question.

So the only government offices I can work part-time in are the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, but I am from Suzhou, and according to the ancestral system, I cannot work in the Ministry of Revenue.

So after analyzing it to the end, the only government office I can work part-time in is our noble Ministry of Personnel! ”

It was a clear day, and it was as if a thunder suddenly exploded in everyone's ears!

Others were fine, but Chen Younian, Zhao Nanxing and other officials of the Ministry of Personnel who were present were directly stunned!

Even Wang Xiangmeng, the nephew of the Wenxuan Division, who secretly ran out to watch the excitement, was petrified on the spot!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! You, Lin Tailai, argued for a long time, and the final answer turned out to be this!

You won the first place in civil and military affairs. In addition to relying on force, do you have a thick skin?

Lin Tailai did not seem to notice the abnormality of others' expressions, and said enthusiastically:

"In other words, the only way to promote me according to the will is to let me work part-time as a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel!

I came to the Ministry of Personnel today to say hello to my future colleagues in advance! "

All the officials in the Ministry of Personnel thought they were dreaming and didn't want to wake up.

But the other officials who came to do business woke up and suddenly burst into a huge booing.

The great fun of the high and mighty First Yamen may only be seen once in this life!
