Chapter 221: Apocryphal
Tian Chu made an appointment with Zhou Yanzhi today, and as soon as he sat down, he told him straight to the point that he was going to take over the Xiangjun in the capital, and brought the file over, so that Zhou Yanzhi could help integrate the rules from the separate cases of fires in the capital in previous years, and come up with a set of effective fire prevention plans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Obviously working for Bai, Zhou Yanzhi was very excited.
This kind of old archives in the Kyoto prefectural government is not something that can be seen casually. The Protector Mansion may have a deep accumulation in the army, but he plans to become an official in the future, and he is not on the same path at all, and his uncle can help when he is promoted and converted.
I will have the opportunity to familiarize myself with the operation of the Chambers in advance and understand the operation of Kyoto Prefecture, and I will not be afraid to take office wherever I take office in the future.
In addition to the capital, where in the world can there be a few counties with a population of more than one million? Compared with the Kyoto Prefecture, the rest of the prefecture affairs are just trivial.
Perhaps many people in the court relied on their background and skillful operation to reincarnate from the Hanlin Academy to the Yushitai, and finally released them as officials, and then transferred back to the capital to rise to prominence, but this was not what Zhou Yan wanted. In his mind, the eldest husband was born in the world, and if he is not a good general, he is a good look. Rather than relying on seniority and the appreciation of high-ranking people in the court, he is more willing to use merit and talent in exchange for rewards.
It is better to take from the straight than to seek from the bend. This deep-rooted idea has been cultivated since childhood, not only him, but even Zhou Qin. The tradition of the Protectorate has always been to work in a down-to-earth and low-key manner, not to be pragmatic, but to be pragmatic.
Because of the style of acting that has been passed down from generation to generation, although the Protectorate has not always been at the center of power, it has also survived peacefully for nearly a hundred years. Compared with those founding ministers who raided their homes, exiled, seized office, and fell out, the three generations of the Zhou family died on the battlefield, although they were tragic, they did not die well.
Growing up under such an education, it is no wonder that Zhou Yanzhi is more willing to go to the Xiangjun office than to go to Taixue to study. His words were not polite, but sincere.
Listening to Tian Chu's ideas for the future rectification of the Xiang Army, Zhou Yanzhi was eager to try, but also had a trace of sincerity and fear, although he was confident, he had empty ideas and no experience.
"If I can't do it......" he looked directly at Tian Chu.
Tian Chu said lightly: "I didn't hand over the errand to you alone, except for your side, I have my own doormen and staff to do things in the back, whoever comes up with a good way will be led by whoever leads, if you can't do it well, you will go to their subordinates to do an errand." He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, "What I brought here today is only a few relatively large fire cases last year, and the rest of the information files are still archived in the Kyoto Prefecture, I have already said hello to that side, you can go in at any time to draw, limited to twenty days, I will wait for your plan." ”
A simple remark aroused Zhou Yanzhi's enthusiasm, he clenched his fists, and said loudly: "If I can't compare to others, I am naturally willing to gamble and lose!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, replaced wine with tea, and toasted each other.
After talking about business, Xiao Er served the food, Tian Chu let Zhou Yan go back, gossip with him, first told a few interesting stories in the court, and then asked how the osmanthus cake sent last time felt like eating.
Zhou Yanzhi said with a smile: "I was about to say thank you, but Aunt Xian asked me to give you a gift in return, and she also wanted me to inquire about the method of Guangnan osmanthus cake, saying that she liked to eat it." He added, "The yam and jujube paste cake that was sent over later was also delicious, and Aunt Xian said that it was different from the way it was done at home, and asked if it was bought in the market or your family's own recipe." ”
A strange sense of pleasure passed through Tian Chu's heart, and he made a look of indifference, and said, "I'll go back and ask." ”
But he concealed that the yam and jujube paste cake was given by the Empress Dowager Tian and did not mention it.
He put down the handcuff in his hand, turned sideways, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Aunt Xian was stopped by someone halfway through the carriage in the past. ”
Zhou Yanzhi nodded, because he had already gone to Guangnan at the time of the incident, and he didn't know much about many details, so he just briefly said what happened.
Tian Chu was silent for a moment, and said: "I heard a little news a few days ago, the Taihe Lou Oiran called Sheng Niangzi that day did not have more than one benefactor, and there were many people who came and went, including princes and nobles, and luxury and rich people, did your family stop the supply of horse fertilizer for the Ding family in the city?" ”
Zhou Yanzhi shook his head hesitantly and said, "I only returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year, and these things are handled by the manager, and I haven't handled them, so I don't know very well. ”
As he was talking, someone knocked on the door, but it was Han Qing who walked in and handed over a waist card.
Tian Chu motioned for him to hand it to Zhou Yanzhi, and explained: "This is a pass card to enter and exit the Kyoto Prefecture Archives, and you can only access basic information. ”
Zhou Yanzhi thanked him and accepted it.
Han Qing stepped back and stood aside.
Tian Chu continued: "I heard that your family's horse fat was later handed over to a family surnamed Zhang, who was a distant relative of the descendants of the original Fuguo General's Mansion. ”
"The ...... of the Auxiliary General's Mansion" Zhou Yanzhi paused and replied, "It seems that there is only Zheng Chan in their family now." ”
In the Prince's Mansion, everyone has dealt with each other, although Zheng Zhan rarely shows up, but Zhou Yanzhi still knows him.
Tian Chu nodded and said, "It seems that he was also the guest of the leader, as well as one of the Xu family on Nanbi Street, plus the family surnamed Ding who used to receive your family's horse fat, the three of them had a lot of trouble last year for the Sheng lady in Taihe Building, and they had a big fight." ”
Zhou Yanzhi showed a disgusted look.
The men in the Protectorate Mansion have always been clean and self-conscious, even if Zhou Yan was as reckless as he was when he was young, he still wouldn't go out to mess with flowers. Zhou Yanzhi has been told many times by Mrs. Zhao that to be a man, you must not only be able to control your brain, but also your body, and you can't rely on your temperament.
He looked down on this kind of prince who slept in flowers and willows.
Especially when I think that Zheng Zhan is still a white body, he is already weak, and he still doesn't want to make progress, and spends all day drinking outside, which makes me even more disgusted.
Tian Chu said again: "The family surnamed Ding has been very unsatisfactory for most of the past six months, I heard that Zheng Zhan's relatives, that is, the Zhang family who took over your family's horse fat business, were severely suppressed, and the two families fought again a while ago, and almost made a murder." Recently, the Ding family has secretly let out the wind and wants to trouble the Zheng family and the Zhang family. You should also be careful, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, I don't know what the Ding family will think, if it is pulled on your head, and you say some nonsense outside, although it is not in the way, it is also very annoying. ”
Zhou Yanzhi nodded and said, "I'm awake." ”
The two had dinner and went home separately.
Han Qing endured it for a long time, but still asked, "Duwei, when did the Ding family let out the wind and want to trouble the Zheng family and the Zhang family?" How come I haven't heard? ”
He helps Tian Chu screen all kinds of information in the capital every day, and it stands to reason that Tian Chu deliberately pointed out the news, he wants to know, but today in the private room, he heard that the monk of the second zhang was confused, and he didn't know when there was such news.
Tian Chu glanced at him coldly and said, "I said he had, and he did." ”
