Syracuse.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin......"

A group of children surrounded Lin Chu in the middle.

There was also a little boy pulling the corner of his clothes and saying cutely: "Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, when I grow up, I want to be a majestic general like you." ”

"Good boy, ambitious." Lin Chu laughed and rubbed the little boy's head.

At this moment, Mu Lianying appeared.

She is still dressed in white like snow, holding a jade flute, and her temperament seems to not eat fireworks in the world.

After coming over, she didn't have any nonsense, just glanced at Lin Chu: "You come with me." ”

"Yes." Lin Chu hurriedly responded.

Not long after, the two of them had come to the temple, which was the sacred place of the Snow Clan, and after coming in, as a clansman, Lin Chu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully offered incense.

Then he knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Holy Maiden." ”

"Get up, you don't have to." Mu Lianying's voice was flat: "I heard that you are already a general of the third grade." ”

"It's all in the support of the king and the holy woman." Lin Chu Zhengse said, although he was already a general of the Qin army, his fear and respect for Mu Lianying were undiminished.

"It's not about me, it's an honor for your own hard work." Mu Lianying said a word, looked at him again and said, "What is the matter when you come back this time?" ”

"This ......" Lin Chu swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to speak easily, and after a pause, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands: "This is the king's handwritten letter to the holy woman. ”

Mu Lianying's eyebrows frowned slightly, then she took the letter and read it carefully.

This letter does not have much content, both serious and private.

There were only a few strokes, but Mu Lianying seemed to have read it for a long time, and then she put away the letter and said, "Go ahead, don't let the third elder know." ”

Obviously, she had thought about it as she read the letter.

She has always been simple in her words and never talks nonsense, Lin Chu was also overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you Holy Maiden!" ”

Mu Lianying understood in her heart that the young people in the clan all had the heart to enter the WTO, and who was young, who was willing to nest in this deep mountain and snow for the rest of her life and have a relationship with Qin Jun, she had no objection from the beginning.

It went smoothly here, and after a few days, Zhang Jingrui, the county guard of Xuzhou, also rushed back to the capital.

Wang Zhaozhong asked him to return to the capital to report on his work, so he was very well prepared, and after meeting Xiao Yuan in the study, he also reported all the affairs of Xuzhou.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded secretly, and said on his face: "Lord Zhang, Xuzhou was originally a Jin land, but under your rule, the people's livelihood is richer than before, and the political achievements are outstanding." ”

"Wechen is terrified." Zhang Jingrui hurriedly lowered his body, he was dressed in a county guard uniform, his figure was on the thin side, and his beard was very well groomed, he was a rare good official with excellent efficiency among the officials of the Qin State.

He is not as upright as Liu Changqing, and he is not as upright as Jiang Yi who follows the will of the king, to put it simply, he is a person who can do things and do good things.

This person initially served as the county commander for several years, the county for many years, and then served as the county guard, and was transferred to Longyou to engage in water conservancy, and then was transferred to Xuzhou to engage in people's livelihood.

Transferring him back, Xiao Yuan naturally thought about it many times, and he was the only candidate to be appointed as the head of the household department.

After chatting about the affairs of Xuzhou, Xiao Yuan also turned to the topic and said directly: "Recently, the household department is the most worrying thing for this king, this matter is related to the foundation of the country, and Lord Zhang will not have to go back to Xuzhou in the future, so go to the household department as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jingrui was first taken aback, and then couldn't help but ask: "What does the king mean......"

"How important the position of the head of the household is, there is no need for this king to say it again, and this king also believes that Lord Zhang can do it." Xiao Yuandao.

Household Shangshu, the minister of the second grade, from a local official, transferred to the central authority, this is a real promotion, Zhang Jingrui heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Minister, obey the king's order, after taking office, you must be self-denying and diligent, and live up to the king's trust!" ”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and motioned for him to get up.

But after getting up, Zhang Jingrui immediately said: "But the king, you have to allocate some silver, right?" ”

"What?" Xiao Yuan didn't react a little.

"From the minister's point of view, the household must be short of silver, and everything you do here has to be silver." Zhang Jingrui said.

"You haven't arrived yet, how do you know that the household department lacks funds, every time you are here in this king, you open your mouth and close your mouth, and reach out to ask for money, it's unreasonable!" Xiao Yuan said angrily.

"Huh." Zhang Jingrui smiled dryly, and said with a shy face: "The state government office, only when the treasury is sufficient, can the efficiency of work be greatly improved, and I hope that the king will be aware of this." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan almost laughed angrily at him.

This is Zhang Jingrui, a good official who likes to reach out to find the king's money.

Other officials, in the above table, are eager to say how good the place they govern is to show their political achievements, but Zhang Jingrui is the opposite.

In desperation, Xiao Yuan could only say: "You go to the household department first, and this matter will be talked about later." ”

"Yes, Weichen retired."

After leaving the palace, Zhang Jingrui hadn't walked a few steps when he was stopped by a man dressed as a servant.

The servant is the house slave of Yan Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in front of Zhang Jingrui, he bent over and said with a smile: "My lord stays, my master is invited." ”

"Your master? Who? Zhang Jingrui raised his eyebrows and said.

"Hehe, Lord Yan." The servant said respectfully.

"Oh? Yan Shangshu? Zhang Jingrui first groaned, and then said indifferently: "Then you lead the way." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord." As the servant spoke, a prepared carriage was also driven over.

Zhang Jingrui got into the carriage, and after a short time, he came to Yan Mansion.

The carriage stopped, he just lifted the curtain down, at the gate of the mansion, Yan Ming had already stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Oh, Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years, but my demeanor is still the same." ”

"Where, where, Lord Yan is polite." Zhang Jingrui also returned the salute.

"Please, tea in the house." Yan Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand sideways.

"Please."

After some polite greetings, the two entered the Yan Mansion and sat down in the living room.

Next, for Zhang Jingrui, Yan Ming naturally got closer, and said that the two were officials in Shuzhong at the beginning, and how good the relationship was.

In fact, the two are just acquaintances.

This is just a basic routine in the officialdom, in Yan Ming's view, he took the lead in establishing a good relationship with Zhang Jingrui, and the minister of the DPRK and the Central Government has another talented man from Sichuan and Shu, which naturally has some influence on his political enemies.

Everything is calm here, and after Zhang Jingrui took office, the first thing he did was naturally to sort out the past books and check official documents.

But at this time, something big and small happened in Qin Guan.
