In Da Qi these days, being an official in a government office is just like going to work.
Except for the ministers who go to court every day, they have to go out to the palace before dawn.
Ordinary officials, when they go to the official office for duty, they just listen to the drum and sit in the yamen.
What's the meaning?
The drums will be played when opening the market. Before playing the drums, just go to the official office.
In order to learn more about the precautions for being a civil servant in Da Qi these days, Yi Shanjin also specially bought a copy of "Qi Liu Dian" from the old man created.
Just think of it as the Daqi version of the Civil Service Manual.
There is a sentence in it:
"Every chancellor and provincial official sleeps alone every day, and the chief executive of the department is responsible for turning the direct book and taking it as the next one. All the department chiefs should communicate with the judges and their superiors, and the county magistrates are not direct. All officials inside and outside look at things at sunrise, and at noon
When you retire, if something happens, go directly to the official and take care of it; if the affairs are complicated, this is not an example."
The first sentence is nonsense, but Yishan belongs to the last sentence: "Every official inside and outside looks at things at sunrise and retreats at noon."
In other words, Yishanjin only needs to work in the morning and rest in the afternoon.
Of course, if there are special needs, let's talk about it separately.
Good guy, I didn’t expect Daqi civil servants to be so relaxed.
However, what is said in the book will be different in reality. We have to wait until the official office to find out.
After getting the official documents from the government office, I had to report to Qintian Prison the next day.
This morning, Yishan prepared everything he could.
New clothes, new belt, new boots, new hat.
Everything is new.
Then there are the two most important things.
One is a fish charm.
The fish charm is a symbol that represents an official's status. It has your name, your detailed information, official position, appearance, etc. on it.
There is a string of ancient sayings written on Yishanjin. Yishanjin’s level of ancient writing is limited. I translated it over and over again, but I always saw a line of words:
[Dr. Qin Tianjian, leaning against the mountains, so handsome that the ghosts and gods are weeping]
This description is very pertinent.
With the fish talisman, you can say that you are an official.
The third rank and above are gold fish charms, the fifth rank and above are silver fish charms, and the rest are copper fish charms.
Yishan is Dr. Qin Tianjian, the ninth grade, and naturally it is a bronze fish talisman.
In addition to symbolizing identity, this fish talisman is also a certificate for entering and exiting the palace.
However, entering and exiting the palace is not the same as entering and exiting the harem.
But he was going to the Imperial City.
The Imperial City is where central officials work.
The emperor and his concubines were usually in the palace city, which was the harem.
Although Yi Shanjin is only a minor official of the ninth rank, no matter how young he is, he is still a Beijing official.
Naturally, I also go to the Imperial City to work.
In addition to the fish charm, there is another thing that must be pinned to the belt.
That is [銙].
Yishan had never seen this thing before, but he finally understood it after Bai Zirou explained it.
This is a square patch that hangs on the belt.
The texture of the ornaments differs according to the official rank. Gold knives are used for officials above the second rank, rhinoceros knives are used for officials above the sixth rank, and silver knives are used for officials above the ninth rank.
At the end of the mountain is the Yin Kuai.
The reason why I bring this is mainly to identify myself.
Although Daqi officials have special official uniforms.
But who knows if you are fake or not.
No matter what color the official wears, there are rules and regulations.
Ordinary people can't imitate it.
If you see an official without a Kua in the imperial city, you will be questioned.
Everything was ready, Bai Zirou stood at the door, helping Yishan Jin sort out his clothes, and gave some instructions:
"When you go to the government office, you have to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions."
"As the master of Yin Fei Sword, you will arouse jealousy to some extent, even in the officialdom. You need to be more careful and careful. If no one asks, don't say anything."
"If you encounter an enemy, you don't have to worry about Master's face. You can just ask your colleagues in the government to help you resist. However, generally no one dares to confront the Daqi government head-on."
"If there is any dangerous case or task that is beyond your ability, there is no need to force it."
"Remember to come back early."
Listening to Master's earnest instructions every word.
Yishan Jin felt warm in his heart.
"Master! I'm going out!"
Yishan Jin took the white fox in his arms and set off.
————————
There are five gates in the imperial city, namely Xing'an Gate, Jianfu Gate, Danfeng Gate, Wangxian Gate and Yanzheng Gate.
However, these five doors are only opened for important state events or when the emperor is traveling.
It usually doesn't open the door.
Officials usually go to work through the small door next to it.
This little door doesn't even have a name.
Just as we walked to the entrance of the imperial city, we could see rows of imperial guards in armor and gold, with their hands everywhere, and when they went out to patrol, they really had a sentry every five steps and a post every ten steps.
The security is extremely tight.
Yi Shanjin brought his own fish charm and quickly passed the review outside the small door.
Those responsible for reviewing are not the eunuchs in the palace, but the guards.
After entering the imperial city, you can see a river crossing in front of you.
There are several bridges on the river, this bridge is called Xiama Bridge.
Except for urgent official documents and military information, everyone must dismount when they get here.
There are no horses on the mountain, so there is no need to worry.
After crossing the bridge, there are military camps on the left and right sides.
It is divided into left and right Jinwu Guard Camps.
After passing the imperial city barracks, we went to the government office.
Yishan Jin is new to the job and doesn’t know exactly where to go.
Fortunately, the official department has already made arrangements.
Entering here from the Imperial City, the road is a straight line. Once you get here, there is nothing to say.
The first palace in front of us is the Ministry of Personnel.
The sign at the door has the word "officials" so big that even Yishan can still recognize it.
First, he went to the Ministry of Personnel and handed in the official appointment documents of the official office. Soon, the Ministry of Personnel arranged for a person to take Yishan Jin to Qintian Prison.
But along the way, the man had a strange expression. He looked at Yishan Jin for a long time before asking:
"Doctor Yi, can you know the magic of immortality?"
Yishan Jin was stunned and nodded:
"Of course I will."
"Oh, like this."
Yishan Jin was a little confused and didn't know why this official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly asked him this question.
And when he arrived at Qintian Prison, he saw a lot of middle-aged uncles and white-haired old men.
It was only after Yishan finished that he finally realized what the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs meant.
At the end of the mountain, it is a bit shameful to be young.

Qin Tianjian, inner courtyard.
A man in official robes and white socks walked quickly across the wooden floor of the inner courtyard, making a dull thumping sound.
Not long after, the man walked to one of the houses, paused, and then said:
"Jianzheng, the one recommended by layman Xiuyuan, the disciple Bai Zirou and the master of Yinfei Sword, Yishan Jin has arrived at Qintian Prison."
There was a slight silence in the room, and then a voice was heard:
"come in."
The man in official robes quickly opened the door and walked in.
Then he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the room, also wearing official robes.
He has a square face, clear eyebrows and an upright look.
It is none other than the current supervisor of the Qintian Prison, Yuan Tiangang.
