Chapter 766 Yu Jiusi came to Tongan County
In this imperial edict, the rewards of silver and money were just side dishes, and only promotion was the real main course.
But some of the maids...
Shen Zheng supported herself on the ground with her hands and remained silent.
She didn't need anyone to take care of her, but she heard from Yu Shizhang that calling the mansion in Shangjing a "mansion" was an understatement.
That's the Earl's mansion! A huge villa complex that can accommodate a large family.
Even if she didn't want servants, she was alone with only two legs and two hands. How could she clean everything?
Moreover, if the house is deserted, it will soon become abandoned and overgrown with weeds.
Another big expense...
Shen Zheng felt pain in her flesh just thinking about it.
After the imperial edict was read, she still shouted "Thank God for his grace", took it and stood up. After standing up, she still looked at Yu Jiusi again.
Um.....
You can tell at first glance that he is a member of the Yu family. Even though he is a martial artist, his temperament is unmistakable.
The two of them exchanged glances and nodded slightly, as a greeting to each other.
The Ministry of Industry inspected and found the missing parts!
The people were confused when they got up.
They know the Ministry of Works, which is one of the six ministries. Didn’t Lord Liang Fu come from the Ministry of Works?
Can......
What is the position of "Jianxiu Shiyi"? Does His Majesty want them to pick up something?
So when their masters receive the imperial edict, will they go to the Ministry of Works to become officials and ignore Tong'an County?
The people were curious and reluctant, and looked at Shen Zheng eagerly.
Shen Zheng was still a little confused, and was whispering to Yu Shizhang: "Master, what rank is this official?"
"Sixth rank." Yu Shizhang didn't bother to look at his grandson, and said in amazement: "You are still in the local area, and His Majesty let you jump two levels directly..."
Sixth rank!
Shen Zheng thought it was at most a sixth-rank official position, but His Majesty gave her a big one when he arrived.
Yu Shizhang continued, "You are a sixth-rank official. When you go to the government office, you don't have to call yourself 'your humble servant' to other officials except the prefect Zhengqing. Although you are not very impressive among the officials in Beijing, His Majesty has appointed you to the Ministry of Works. The old man in the Ministry of Works is very protective of his subordinates, so I can rest assured."
Got promoted.
Shen Zheng looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand and gradually accepted this fact. A trace of joy slowly seeped out from her chest.
The gap between local officials and Beijing officials is not small at all. Your Majesty's move is to forcibly stuff her into the ranks of Beijing officials.
Does that mean that she can do some things more freely?
Although the people were reluctant, they also knew that this was good news. The news that Shen Zheng had become an official in the Ministry of Works spread like wildfire outside Xiahe Village.
Balezhan stood aside, wiping away tears with excitement.
He knew that he had not misjudged the person!
Yu Jiusi was wearing silver armor, and his ponytail was blown into tangled strands by the river breeze.
He secretly exhaled, and his armor made a crisp sound as he walked. Finally, he stood in front of Yu Shizhang and said, "Grandson Yu Jiusi, nice to meet you, grandfather. How are you doing recently?"
"You little brat." Yu Shizhang looked him up and down for several times, and finally smiled. "During the days since you joined the army, how many letters have you written to your grandfather? I am old, but I have to swallow my pride and inquire about your news in the army. Tell me, is that reasonable?"
He looked at Yu Jiusi's tall figure, sighed slowly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, "Forget it, as long as he doesn't lose any limbs."
Xue Mai stood aside, almost unable to control his jaw.
What did he hear?
The leader who hangs out with him in the military camp all day is, is, is the grandson of Earl Yongning? His own grandson?
What was Earl Yongning’s last name?
--Remain.
The boss...is also named Yu.
Xue Mai’s eyes widened and he looked at Yu Zhengqing suddenly.
The prefect of Liuyang is also named Yu!
As he was thinking, Xue Mai suddenly recalled the days when they returned to Beijing.
The boss would say every now and then that he wanted to go home to see his grandmother who was still at home.
But every time he wanted to go, he would be chased back to the barracks by his leader...
So the boss was afraid that he would see the big words "Yongning Earl's Mansion"? !
But he doesn't recognize these words at all!
Xue Mai knew nothing, and he just foolishly followed his leader to Liuyang Mansion, foolishly stepped on other people's land, and foolishly knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.
In the end, I stayed behind foolishly to fill the ground.
孽 孽!
......
When leaving the dock, Shen Zheng gave specific instructions to Xu Zhubu.
"Speed up the progress at the lime mine. Send more people to mine before the dock becomes busy. Otherwise, the people will be too busy to do anything later."
Xu Zhubu agreed. Shen Zheng looked around and whispered, "If you have time tomorrow, go to Liuyang Prefecture in person and go to the Salt and Iron Bureau to find Fang Qizheng and ask him for something..."
Shen Zheng covered her mouth and said in a lower voice, "Iron ore, refined iron, iron powder and charcoal ash powder, all of which need to be brought to me. I will write you a document and you can hand it to him. He should not be reluctant."
It was a very important matter for the court officials to ask the Salt and Iron Bureau for iron ore, but Xu Zhubu remained expressionless.
"Don't worry, sir. I will bring the things back tomorrow."
Shen Zheng returned to the county government office in Yu Zhengqing's carriage, while Yu Jiusi got on Yu Shizhang's carriage, and the two of them reminisced about the past.
Inside the carriage, Yu Zhengqing lifted the curtain, looked at the car in front and asked Shen Zheng, "My son, what do you think?"
There were quite a lot of things that happened today. Shen Zheng was still in a daze trying to sort out his thoughts. When he was asked unexpectedly, he replied, "Very good. General Yu was a military man with a noble bearing. He will be a great general in the future."
Yu Zhengqing was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "That's it?"
Shen Zheng looked at him suspiciously. "You have sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. You have the same temperament as me. You have a tough temperament with a hint of gentleness. You have the same temperament as me as my aunt. In short, you are good, very good, and extremely good."
——Is this okay?
Shen Zheng asked with her eyes.
She and Yu Jiusi weren't familiar with each other, so if she insisted on building some kind of relationship...
In the battle between Changnan Prefecture and Xingning Prefecture, they could be considered half comrades-in-arms, and the opponent was the younger generation of Yu Shizhang and Yu Zhengqing, so he was of the same generation as her.
"...." Yu Zhengqing felt like he was talking to a cow, "Forget it, the news about the provincial examination has come out, these old pedants are going to do something fancy this year."
Upon hearing the news of the prefectural examination, Shen Zheng immediately perked up, sat up straight and asked, "Has the date been set? When is it?"
"It's the 28th of this month." Yu Zhengqing frowned and scolded, "In the first half of the month, they really did it. I don't know how many students will complain. When I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely report them! They simply don't know what is important and what is not!"
Although the title of scholar is not considered great in the eyes of officials, how many students study hard day and night just for the two days of examination?
In common parlance, it is "unauthentic"!
