Since Qian Yuan and his party arrived in She County, Qian Zheng found that compared with a few years ago, his nephew has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's not just that he's taller, his skin is darker, and his body is stronger, it's more about the casualness of his speech and demeanor, and the seemingly casual but thoughtful way of doing things.

In a word, my nephew has grown up, and he is not taking the traditional scholar route.

Although Qian Zheng also knew that Qian Yuan had defended the city many times in the past two years, so that he was praised by the Duke of Zhenchuan and Wen Hengshan, he couldn't imagine that he had gathered contacts in the anti-Japanese war that had lasted for two years, which was a connection that made countless people blush.

After the development and change of events, Qian Zheng was dumbfounded, and several letters were sent, Wu Baipeng patted his chest in the reply and assured that he and Yin Zhengmao had a good relationship.

Hu Zongxian didn't reply to the letter, but directly sent his henchman Wang Yin and eldest son Hu Guiqi back to Huizhou, and all the prefects of the six counties bowed their heads, and even the prefect of Huizhou, who had not shown his head, couldn't help but look at Qian Zheng with surprised eyes.

All the cards were opened, Qian Zheng officially began to operate the conversion of the silk tax into silver and payment, and was about to go to Nanjing in person, but the Nanjing Hubu Shangshu issued an official document, ordering the Huizhou government to convert the silk tax into silver and pay it to the Yamen, the governor of Zhejiang, as military funds.

Qian Yuan sent a letter to Zhao Wenhua, the governor Yamen is promoting the compilation method to Nanzhili, Fujian, Shandong and other places, with the breakthrough of Huizhou Mansion, although it will be five or six thousand taels of silver to be converted into two silver, but Zhao Wenhua naturally smiled at this great gift.

It seems that after that dinner, I don't have to cook anything...... Qian Zheng had a strong sense of loss.

"Uncle, a whip method is not so simple, and the difficulty of promotion is even more difficult to reach the sky." Qian Yuan picked his teeth with a toothpick, and said casually: "Now that the DPRK is strict and Xu Huating, who do you think has such courage?" ”

"Not necessarily." Gu Chengzhi has expectations for Xu Jie, "Xu Ge Lao has been strictly pressed over the years, and he will naturally be ...... when he becomes the first assistant in a few years."

"No way!" Xu Wei sneered, "Look, the first thing Xu Huating will do when the time comes, the first thing Xu Huating will do is to settle old accounts, the second thing is to recall the officials who were previously dismissed by the Yan Party and stick to their positions, and the third thing is to hold on to the defects...... Licorice Pavilion is old. ”

Qian Yuan squinted and glanced at Xu Wei, this guy can see it accurately, Xu Jie is indeed this kind of person, from a certain point of view, there is no essential difference between the dispute between Xu Jie and Yan Song, and the dispute between Xu Jie and Gao Gong in the future.

In Xu Jie's view, Yan Song is a criminal who has caused disaster to the world, but in Gao Gong's view, Xu Jie, who does not act, is not much better than Yan Song.

Gu Chengzhi licked his lips and asked in a low voice, "Li Mo, the secretary of the ministry?" ”

"It's even more impossible." Qian Yuan smiled and said: "Although there are no rules today, Li Shiyan will be transferred to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials with the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and then directly promoted to the Heavenly Officer of the Ministry of Officials, can he still enter the cabinet again?" ”

Qian Zheng couldn't help but turn his head and look at his nephew, the eight shares of writing are ordinary, this kind of twists and turns in the middle of the court is very clear, the servants of the Ministry are generally not allowed to be promoted to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials is generally not allowed to enter the cabinet, such as Xu Jie, Yan Song, Xia Yan, Lu Ben and others have not served as heavenly officials in their resumes.

In recent years, only Xu Jie, who served as a waiter in the ministry, then asked for evasion, and served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to teach Shu Jishi, and then took charge of the academy and moved the Ministry of Rites.

Qian Yuan once carefully studied Xu Jie's promotion route, this step is really like flying immortals out of the sky, generally speaking, when you leave the Hanlin Academy, you will not go back, at most on the promotion road, and the Hanlin Bachelor paves the way for worshipping the prime minister and entering the pavilion.

But Xu Jie was demoted out of Beijing in his early years when he was still in the Hanlin Academy, so after returning to Beijing, it took a lot of effort to re-take the road of the Hanlin Academy, and he was praised by everyone for throwing away the powerful official positions such as the left servant of the ministry.

From this point of view, although Xu Jie once went out of Beijing to serve as a pro-people official, he took the unique route of the Ming Dynasty.

From this aspect, we can see Xu Jie's scheming and the resilience of a mind to climb up...... You must know that your uncle has a grudge against Xu Jie, and he has a grudge against Xu Fan, and last year he didn't refuse the marriage temptation of the Xu family, how could Qian Yuan not study Xu Jie.

This year's township exam, next year's exam, even if it doesn't go well, he may enter Beijing, there are letters from old friends in the DPRK, Qian Zheng is likely to be transferred back to Beijing this year, and Qian Yuan will enter Beijing with his uncle.

Qian Yuan didn't want to show it, but everything that happened last year was ...... He also knew through Zhao Wenhua that the name Qian Yuan had long been well-known in the court.

Sighing and putting aside his worries for the time being, Qian Yuan glanced at Xu Wei, "Hey, when are you leaving?" ”

"There are also people who rush guests, I really don't pay attention to it!" Xu Wei took a sip of tea, "I haven't drunk enough pineapple tea before the Ming Dynasty." ”

Qian Yuan habitually said a few more words, and Qian Zheng and Gu Chengzhi on the side drank tea with half-closed eyes and listened to each other.

This scene has happened too many times during this time, and the two of them have either quoted scriptures or turned three corners...... In the end, it always ended with Qian Yuan spitting out English, or Xu Wei spewing out Shaoxing dialect.

But today, the two of them couldn't have fun, and Yang Wen sent a few letters outside.

"Hu Ruzhen values you a lot." Xu Wei recognized at a glance that the letter at the top was sent by the governor's yamen.

Qian Yuan took it apart and looked at it a few times, "It's hard to say, Brother Ruzhen values you Xu Qingteng more, and is still asking when you will go to Hangzhou." ”

"Can he handle it? I'm going to go to Songmingshan in a few days. ”

"Brother Boyu seems to be from Songming Mountain?"

"Wang Daokun? It has nothing to do with him, but it is said that he looks at you differently and wrote a poem for you? ”

"That's Brother Weixi's affection."

Qian Zheng on the side listened to the titles of "Brother Ruzhen", "Brother Boyu", and "Brother Weixi", and couldn't help but feel a little headache when he stroked his forehead, all of them were big people.

Not to mention the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, even if Wang Daokun is now only in the military selection of the Ministry of War, his status in the literary world is not low, his poems are spread all over the world, and he has an excellent relationship with Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong.

Xu Wei was still muttering over there, but Qian Yuan was silent, Hu Zongxian was also very difficult in Zhejiang, and the letter said that there were more than two or three gentry who went directly to Nanjing to complain.

Also, Hu Zongxian implemented the Mention Law and listed the wealthy businessmen as a separate first-class, which is really drawing blood from maritime merchants.

In the eyes of the big families behind the maritime merchants, Hu Zongxian is more hateful than Zhu Kun back then, at least the people are directly swordsmen and guns, but the surname Hu is a means of doing it.

Qian Yuan pondered for a moment and then handed the letter directly to Xu Wei, who quickly read it and sneered: "It's really not to blame that Lord Governor for shrinking his head. ”

Qian Yuan smiled, Yang Yi has been the governor of Zhejiang for more than three months, and he has done nothing under Zhao Wenhua's oppression, and he has become an empty shelf, but it seems that he doesn't care.

I took the following letters, one is from the Wang family of the food garden, one is from the Sun family of Shaoxing, and one is from the capital.

After taking it apart and looking at it a few times, Qian Yuan's expression was a little gloomy, and he turned his head to stare at the flickering lights.

"Brother Yuan?" Gu Chengzhi asked in surprise.

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay." Qian Yuan handed over the letter, "There is a letter from Brother Weixi, and Mr. Fengzhou has come forward, Yin Zhengmao's side is fine." ”

Wang Shizhen's status among ordinary officials is not low, and although his father did not become a big Sima, he has also been promoted to the left waiter of the military department, and with him coming forward to make peace, Yin Zhengmao naturally has nothing to say.

But why was Qian Yuan's gloomy expression?

Qian Zheng took the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

At the end of last month, Yang Jisheng, who had been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, died of illness in prison, and Yan Shifan forcibly ordered that his body should not be collected for burial.

Zhang Jing and Li Tianpet were abandoned as early as a year ago, and Qian Yuan originally thought that a slight mention could have some effect, but he didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, Yang Jisheng still couldn't escape his life.
