Lin Haoran felt secretly embarrassed in his heart, but his father-in-law seemed to think highly of him, so he simply made a mistake, so he silently accepted this hard-won praise.

Now that his father-in-law is already in the position of secretary of the ministry, if he can give him a better impression and impression, then it will undoubtedly become much easier for him to recommend who he wants to recommend in the future.

Wu Shan put away the paper with the words "Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bow his head and be willing to be a son of a cow" in the drawer alone, and walked towards the tea table over there.

Lin Haoran stopped practicing calligraphy, and followed Wu Shan to the tea table, intending to exchange something with him.

As he showed great political talent, he clearly felt that Wu Shan had long since not treated him as a junior, and many important matters would be discussed with him, and even his opinions would be listened to.

A maid brought tea and quietly retreated.

Wu Shan stretched out his hand and picked up the teacup, and resolutely returned to the style of the Ministry of Etiquette who was extremely strict in words and deeds, but raised his eyes to look at Lin Haoran and asked: "Ruoyu, I am now the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, don't you have anything to say?" ”

"The matter of the ruler, my father-in-law is better than me, and the son-in-law does not dare to make a mistake!" Lin Haoran was about to stretch out his hand to serve tea, but he was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and he seriously shirked it.

Unlike the ministers who followed Yan Ne and others, Wu Shan had the experience of serving as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he had been tempered by the head of the Ministry of Households, and he was already a good hand at handling specific affairs.

Wu Shan pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, but he looked at him lightly and said straight to the point: "Don't you take the opportunity to recommend anyone?" A group of you often get together in the same year, don't you think you don't know what to do? ”

"No need to recommend!" Lin Haoran understood what his father-in-law wanted to ask, but shook his head affirmatively and refused.

Wu Shan stopped the action of dialing the tea, frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is this?" ”

"Father-in-law, do you think it is important to reuse talents for the court, or is it important to avoid others accusing the responsible person of nepotism?" Lin Haoran stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup and asked with a smile on his face.

Wu Shan continued to gently splash the tea, and gave a categorical answer: "Naturally, it's the former!" ”

Although he does not have the courage and courage to "bow his head and be willing to be a son of a cow", he is not a person who gives up his principles for the sake of fame.

Lin Haoran picked up the teacup and immediately said with a smile: "Ningjiang They are obviously capable people, but now they have been treated unfairly, my father-in-law will naturally rehabilitate them and reuse them, why should I talk more?" ”

Wu Shan listened to Lin Haoran's high-sounding words, but shook his head helplessly. He gently blew the tea stalk floating on the tea surface, took a sip of the slightly hot tea, and found that this son-in-law was indeed a human spirit.

Ningjiang and the others were beaten to inferior evaluations, and if he changed them all to superior evaluations, he would inevitably fall into the accusation of nepotism, and he did not have scruples in this regard.

It's just that the son-in-law's remarks are very ingenious, which not only wakes up him to adhere to the principle of employing people, but also recommends Ning Jiang and others in a roundabout way, which is far more clever than directly calling for Ning Jiang and others.

Wu Shan put down the teacup and promised seriously: "Don't worry, although I won't take too much care of Ningjiang and them, but they are not black and white, they are indeed talented people!" ”

"In this way, I will thank my father-in-law for them first!" When Lin Haoran heard this, he immediately felt completely relieved, and thanked him with a smile.

Seeing that Wu Shan was not so pedantic that he didn't recognize his six relatives, he knew that Ningjiang and the others would not only be able to successfully pass the rating inspection of Jingcha, but also find a good place to go in the subsequent job changes.

The evaluation of Jingcha is important, but the change of position is even more important.

For example, the Nanjing Officials Yamen also has the right to evaluate and evaluate the Beijing Officials, but the specific job changes are still in the hands of the Beijing Officials Yamen, so the Beijing Officials and Officials are the ones who hold the authority.

Now Wu Shan has the power to change personnel, as long as he helps Ning Jiang and others improve their evaluation, he can arrange a good place for them in the next deployment.

As night fell, more and more officials came to the door.

Lin Haoran is Wu Shan's protégé and son-in-law, and he is a figure who can be on the big stage, so he helps Wu Shan greet those influential court bosses.

Today can be described as extremely lively, not to mention the six waiters, only Qiqing came to three.

In addition to Zhang Yongming, the imperial history of the left capital, Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and even Lei Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came to congratulate, making this Wu Mansion in the past a brilliant wall.

When the world is happy here, the Xu Mansion is a different scene a few feet away.

Xu's Mansion, Council Chamber.

Xu Jie, who was wearing a python robe, sat on the master's seat, and Xu Fan accompanied Yan Ne to sit in the guest seat, and Xu Fan's face was obviously disappointed, and he even sighed occasionally.

I thought that Yan Ne's position as the secretary of the ministry was within reach, but he didn't want to suddenly kill a Wu Yuejing, so that his plan to move to the sixth department of the servant went bankrupt, and it seemed to be a little far away from the old Xiaoge.

Xu Jie followed Yan Ne to say a few words, handed the letter to the housekeeper and sent it to Yan Nedao: "Brother Minqing, take a look!" ”

Yan Ne took out the letter paper, read it carefully, and suddenly raised his face and said in surprise: "Lord Yuanfu, what's going on?" When did Yue Salt implement the ticket salt law? ”

"When Yan Ge was about to go into the wilderness, Wu Shan passed the approval of the cabinet and asked Yue Yan to try out the ticket salt method this year!" Xu Jie sighed heavily and explained the reason.

When he overthrew Yan Song last year, he was afraid that Yan Song would fight back, so he focused all his energy on Yan Dang. But he never thought that Wu Shan had done this little action in private.

Xu Fan has always been very concerned about political affairs, and he is even more interested in becoming a small pavilion elder, so he asked curiously: "Dad, what is the ticket salt law!" ”

Xu Jie's brows furrowed slightly, looking a little dissatisfied with his son's investigation, so he naturally wouldn't explain.

Yan Ne is a good old man's character, and when he explained: "The government gives tickets, collects taxes, and makes salt with tickets." Regardless of new or old merchants, anyone can get a ticket to transport salt as long as they pay enough salt class. ”

"Yueyan tried the new law, so what does it have to do with us?" Xu Fan still didn't know why, and asked in confusion.

Xu Jie seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and suddenly spit out and said quickly: "Guangdong salt tickets are selling well, and 200,000 taels of salt tickets will be sold in January!" ”

Yes......

Xu Fan's eyes immediately widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he finally understood what the problem was.
