And in this bustle, Yang Hongyu stayed in the small courtyard where she lived, listening to the laughter and firecrackers outside, but she was in a complicated mood.

She didn't know why she was in a bad mood when everyone else was happy for Yang Xu.

After thinking about it, I finally figured out that I was afraid that Yang Xuguan would get bigger and bigger and get farther and farther away from him.

She usually treats Yang Xu coldly on the surface, and rarely communicates with Yang Xu, but she cares about Yang Xu very much in her heart.

If one day in the future, Yang Xu and her drifted apart and became strangers, she felt that she would be sad for a long time.

Yang Xu didn't want to be an official, but he was forcibly made an official by Emperor Qinglong, fortunately, he was an idle official position, and he didn't usually have to go to the office on duty, just stay at home.

Yang Xu didn't know what the Miscellaneous Bureau was for, and from the literal meaning, he felt that it should be to create and invent some messy things.

What Yang Xu didn't expect was that the day after he was made an official, two men wearing light cyan official robes came to the door, saying that they were the deputy envoys of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau and came to meet Shangguan.

Only then did Yang Xu know that there were only three people in the entire team of the Miscellaneous Creation Bureau, his own ambassador, plus the two deputy envoys in front of him.

The two deputy envoys were both in their fifties, and looking at their half-white beard and thin figures, they knew that this miscellaneous bureau was indeed a clear water yamen with no money to be gained.

Yang Xu asked the two deputy envoys, and only then did he know that he, a nine-rank official, actually had a salary.

Although it is a little small, it can barely support a family if it is put on ordinary people and frugally.

The Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau is on the side of the Ministry of Industry, and there is also a small courtyard for ordinary office, but Yang Xu is too lazy to go over, and only two deputy envoys are guarding there.

"I heard that Ambassador Yang invented something called cement?"

The two deputy envoys exchanged a few words with Yang Xu and mentioned the matter.

Yang Xu suddenly became vigilant and asked, "How do you know?" ”

A deputy envoy said, "Grandpa Sun told us." ”

"Who is Grandpa Sun?"

Yang Xu asked.

Grandpa Sun is naturally Sun De.

Although Yang Xu had seen him and Emperor Qinglong once in the Yang Family Restaurant, he didn't know the identities of the two at all.

"Father-in-law Sun is in charge of Jinyiwei, he is a celebrity around the emperor, and he is also the most trustworthy person of the emperor."

Another deputy envoy said.

Yang Xu nodded, thinking that Gonggong Sun was probably an old eunuch, and the emperor usually trusted eunuchs very much.

It's just that what did Grandpa Sun and his two deputy envoys mean when they mentioned cement?

"What did Grandpa Sun tell you to do this?"

Yang Xu couldn't help but ask again.

"Grandpa Sun said that Ambassador Yang often has wonderful ideas and can create some unbelievable things, so let us learn more."

Said a deputy envoy.

Another deputy envoy said: "Gonggong Sun also said that since Mr. Yang has joined the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Department as an official, what he will make in the future must be reported to the Ministry of Industry and asked the officials of the Ministry of Industry to judge." If the east and west are beneficial to the country and the people, they can be reported to the emperor, and the emperor will order them to be promoted. ”

Yang Xu almost didn't say anything, thinking that the emperor let him enter the court as an official, and it was actually this idea.

In this way, wouldn't the cement that I had just tested and not yet been officially put into large-scale production have to be reported to the Ministry of Industry?

In this way, the cement that he has developed with great difficulty has become the industry of the imperial court, and how can he still have his own share?

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Xu couldn't help but be angry in his heart, thinking that Lao Tzu had already negotiated cooperation with King Qin, and the benefits of this cement business would be evenly distributed in the future.

"The cement was made before I joined the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, so it shouldn't be subject to the constraints of the imperial court, right?"

Yang Xu asked.

He felt that the grandfather must have explained something to the two deputy envoys.

One of the deputy envoys said with a smile: "Back to Master Yang's words, Gonggong Sun specially named cement, and he must have been interested in this thing, so he ...... Big things should be understood ......"

"The hand of the court really came in...... This is not to let Lao Tzu make money safely! ”

Yang Xu was resentful and angry in his heart, but he was helpless.

"No, I have to talk to King Qin about this matter! Let's see if he can come up with a good solution! ”

Yang Xu is just a nine-rank petty official, and he doesn't even have a chance to listen to the heavens, so he can only seek the help of King Qin to see if there is room for turnaround.

After sending off the two deputy envoys of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, Yang Xu got into the carriage and hurriedly left the Yang family manor and headed for the Qin Palace.

When he saw the queen of Qin, he informed him of the matter, and then he looked at the king of Qin, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

King Qin thought for a moment, then smiled: "Actually...... That's not a bad thing! ”

Yang Xu said: "It's not a bad thing? The court intervenes, how can we make money? ”

King Qin said: "Actually, you can think about the problem from a different angle. For example, through this incident, you successfully won the attention of your father. If your cement is really beneficial to the country and the people, after your father knows about it, Longyan Dayue will give you an official and a knight! And the bigger you do, the more convenient it will be for you to do whatever you do in the future! ”

Yang Xu smiled bitterly: "But I really don't want to be an official!" Especially when you are a big official! The bigger the official, the more trouble! ”

King Qin smiled: "You guy, everyone else wants to be an official, you obviously have a chance, but you don't want to." What's going on in your head? ”

Yang Xu Zhengse said: "What I want is that in the future, I can be a leisurely rich man, marry him with three wives and four concubines, and then have a bunch of children, play mahjong with my wives and concubines every day, watch the sunset, and play and frolic with my children in the leisure time of reading...... Well, that's it! ”

King Qin looked at Yang Xu and made sure that he was serious, so he also said with a straight face: "Then, you will help me with your heart." If I fulfill my wish one day, I will surely fulfill your wish! ”

Yang Xu said: "So...... High-fives for an oath? ”

King Qin smiled dumbly, and then raised his right palm high.

"Smack!"

The slaps of the two smacked in the air, making a crisp sound.

"Work hard to be an official!"

King Qin said: "The bigger the official you do, the greater the help you will be to me!" I believe that with your ability, you will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future; With your conduct, you will definitely be a good official! ”

Yang Xu said: "You think too highly of me...... Okay, this official, I'm just barely doing it. But the cement thing...... Did you really let the imperial court intervene? ”

King Qin said: "Don't worry...... Wait for me to enter the palace tomorrow and ask my father. See what he means. It would be nice to cooperate with the imperial court in the name of a private person. ”

"That's all there is to it."

After chatting with King Qin for a while, and staying for a meal at the kind invitation of King Qin, Yang Xu left the city and returned to the Yang family manor.
