"Pan Linfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Jialin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Guo Congshi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Hualou, the imperial historian, Song Sili, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, and Gao Yizhi of Jingzhao Yin are all due to their age, and they may become famous in a few years."

Yu Zhijie's words shocked Jiang Anyi, there are so many high-ranking officials in the court to be replaced, and the news will inevitably cause shock, and the fate of countless people will change because of this.

"Master Yu, can you know who to replace?" Jiang Anyi asked.

"Lu Jialin was hated by the Son of Heaven because of the impeachment of you, he was originally going to be a minister two years ago, and the Northern Expedition of the Son of Heaven temporarily retained his position as Shangshu, and now the Son of Heaven is ready to remove him, and Ning Ze, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is very likely to replace him; The second sect of the Chuzhou Assassin History Duan was transferred to Beijing and took over as the secretary of the ministry; Zhao Shulun, the assassin of Lizhou, will also enter Beijing, this talent is excellent and Wei Xiang's grandson-in-law, and the Son of Heaven should be reused. ”

Jiang Anyi's face was happy, the three people mentioned by Master Yu all had a good relationship with him, and they would help the court in the future.

Yu Zhijie misunderstood Jiang Anyi's meaning, thinking that he wanted to seek a position in it, and said: "You are still young, you have been honing in the local area for a few more years, and then you will return to Beijing after you are familiar with the people's situation, and the position of the six ministries and nine secretaries will naturally be indispensable to you in the future, and the position of prime minister is also possible." Accumulation can last a long time"

Jiang Anyi said: "Master Yu has taught him a lesson, but the disciple is impatient with cumbersomeness, and he is afraid that he will disappoint Master Yu. ”

Yu Zhijie smiled and said: "You and Yucheng are both Wang Zuozhicai, and the most proud thing in the old man's life is not to become a household secretary, but to be able to get Anyi as your apprentice and Yucheng as your son-in-law." ”

Pointing to the two sons next to him, Yu Zhijie sighed: "The two of them are not successful, and you and Zhicheng will take care of me in the future." ”

Jiang Anyi hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother Qinghuan is a square man and a real gentleman, and Anyi is not as good as it." As for Brother Qingle, although he likes to have fun, he is still upright, and Master Yu does not need to worry. There is no need for Master Yu to take care of the word, An Yi should treat him as a brother. ”

"Okay, okay." Yu Zhijie stroked his beard and smiled, his expression happy. Although the children and nephews are ordinary, they can be rich and safe with Jiang Anyi and Zhang Zhicheng to take care of them, and they hope that some of the grandchildren will inherit the family business and make a difference.

"How are the taxes in Qianzhou this year?" Jiang Anyi asked. As the top three in Fengle for nine years, Wei Youcheng has already returned to Beijing to serve, he and Zhang Zhicheng are confidants and friends, and they are both Taishou, so they inevitably have a bit of comparison.

Yu Zhijie said with a smile: "He can't compare to you, last year, Qianzhou solved 1.4 million taels, which was twice as big as before, and the Son of Heaven praised him a few words." Although the tone was talking, the smile on his face was thick.

Qianzhou is located in the southeast corner of Dazheng, the transportation is inconvenient, it has always been a place of derogatory exile, 48 Miao Village often rebelled, the tax of Qianzhou is only about 500,000, it has always been the bottom of the states, counting the cost of the garrison, Qianzhou belongs to the place of inverted paste.

After Zhang Zhicheng went to Qianzhou, he changed the Miao village policy based on prevention and cards, and personally entered Miao Xinjiang to negotiate with Zhuo Can, the owner of Lingxiang Valley, and opened trade routes to strengthen exchanges. Zhuo Can was moved by Zhang Zhicheng, after Zheng Jun removed the checkpoint, began to continuously export medicinal materials, cane sugar, tea, jade, batik and other Miao village specialties, Zhang Zhicheng and the new Anxi Dadu Hu Ning Tao fully cooperated, restraining the army and officials not to take the opportunity to blackmail, Lijiang County County was dismissed, the captain of Zhaowu in the capital was reprimanded, and a group of soldiers and officials who did not obey the order were disposed of, and finally stopped the evil wind of reaching out to the Miao people.

Zhang Zhicheng also cooperated with Ning Tao, and the military and civilians worked together to build a communication road between Qianzhou and Lizhou, Dezhou, Huangzhou, and Shaozhou. Although Huazhou is a place of a hundred battles, but trade with the Western Regions, the Son of Heaven set up a border city in Huazhou, Jiang Anyi took perfume as a guide, Huazhou's commercial tax can reach as much as four million, and Qianzhou's tax empowerment reaches 1.4 million, which is really not worse than Huazhou.

Jiang Anyi knew that this 1.4 million yuan was not easy to come by, and sighed: "Brother Zhicheng sits in the southeast, so that the court has no worries in the east, I heard that the Northern Expedition to Miao Village is a sign of submission, and took the initiative to send 500 Miao soldiers to participate in the war, Brother Zhicheng's talent in governing the government is really above me." ”

Yu Zhijie knew that Jiang Anyi had not returned to Beijing for three years, and a large number of relatives and friends wanted to visit, so he did not leave Jiang Anyi for dinner, so that he could come when he was free. Yu Qingle sent Jiang Anyi out, and said with a smile: "Brother Anyixian, when you are free, my brother will pick up the wind for you, how about going to Manchun Courtyard to listen to music and drink?" Manchun Courtyard, Jiang Anyi remembered that Yu Qingle was infatuated with Li'er back then, and he didn't know if he had kissed Fangze. As a member of the court, it is naturally inconvenient to enter and exit the Qinglou, and Brother Yu seems to be as romantic as he was back then.

It was not yet noon, and Jiang Anyi decided to go to the Li Mansion. Li Mingxing, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, is the uncle of Tong'er, and is the biggest backer of the Li family, when the Li family was suppressed by the Son of Heaven because of the war against the Qing Dynasty, Li Mingxing also moved from Sinong Temple to the Taifu Temple, and Li Mingyi, the successor of the Li family, was frightened and is now wandering in the position of Fangzhou.

The Li family and Jiang Anyi are enemies, but because Queen Wang gave Tong'er a marriage to Jiang Anyi, Li Mingxing recognized the situation, agreed to the marriage, resolved the grudge with Jiang Anyi, and discussed with the head of the family, Li Mingde, and asked Tong'er to take care of the business of the Li family in Huazhou. This decision now seems to be very wise, last year Tong'er earned a dividend of 230,000 taels for the Li family, and according to the agreement, Tong'er wanted to give Tong'er 30 percent, but Tong'er took care of the difficulties in the clan, so she only took 30,000 taels, and handed over the rest to the clan. The 200,000 taels of silver is undoubtedly a life-saving money for the Li family, and the clan can finally take a breath, Li Mingde gradually redeemed the pawned family property, and the Li family regained its vigor after being cleaned up.

Li Mingxing looked at Jiang Anyi, who was concentrating on drinking tea, and his heart felt like opening a grocery store, and all kinds of sweet and spicy tastes came up together. After chatting a few words without being salty, Li Mingxing suddenly thought that Li Dongsheng, a junior in the clan, had come to Beijing to take the exam, and the Huazhou scholar with whom he had interacted had a conversation record of Benjiang Anyi, which talked about some strategies for taking the exam, which was very useful. At present, the Li family is not in good shape, there are not many capable descendants, Li Dongsheng is only twenty-four years old, Li Mingxing sees him as a manufacturable material, if he can reach the first in this department, he will be the successor of the Li family in the future.

"Come on, go and invite the nineteen young to meet the guests." Li Mingxing commanded. Then he said to Jiang Anyi: "It's my nephew, the son of Uncle Tong'er's cousin, ranked nineteenth according to generation, Tong'er wants to call him nineteenth brother, you are three years older than him, but you are going to call Uncle Sheng." ”

After not doing much, a young man in a shirt walked in, bowed down to Li Ming, and called "I've seen uncle." Li Mingxing pointed to Jiang Anyi, who stood up, and said, "Dongsheng, this is Tong'er's husband, your brother-in-law, you two have seen each other." ”

Li Dongsheng didn't send a message to who Tong'er was, there are too many brothers and sisters in the family, some have not even met once, he is a partial branch of the Li family, if it is not for the middle lifter, I am afraid there will be no opportunity to come to Beijing to meet the pillar of the Li family. However, he was modest, and he did not have the arrogance and arrogance of Changzhi, and he bowed his hand gently to Jiang Anyi: "Dongsheng has seen my brother-in-law. ”

Jiang Anyi had a good impression of the gentle young man in front of him, and he could see that he didn't recognize who he was, and the gentleness he showed was from his heart, and he returned with a smile: "Anyi is polite, I've seen the nineteenth uncle." ”

Li Mingxing was quite helpless about the sluggishness of his nephew, and interrupted the two who were polite to each other and said: "Dongsheng, didn't you say that the conversation book in Huazhou is very useful, and now that Anyi is in front of you, why not ask for more." ”

"Ahh The first one was a little stunned, and when he reacted, the second one expressed surprise and joy, and the third one was shocked and helpless.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "I heard my uncle say just now that Dongsheng is going to participate in this year's examination, but I don't know how to prepare." ”

Li Dongsheng was clear from the shock, and his words were still a little vague, "Jiang Da...... No, brother-in-law, I don't dare to slack off every day, and sometimes I go out to meet the text. That conversation, that's good...... By the way, I have some poetry and essays, so please ask my brother-in-law for some advice. ”

As he spoke, Li Dongsheng was about to turn around and go back to his residence to get his poetry manuscript, Li Mingxing called his nephew, who was a little flustered, and said: "An Yi is here as a guest, if you want to ask for teaching, you will go to his house, don't you understand this reason?" ”

Jiang Anyi thought that he would teach Fan Zhichang every night, one sheep was herded, and two sheep were also driven, so he simply said: "I live in Taipingfang, and I will give a lecture on strategy to Master Fan's grandson these few nights. ”

Li Dongsheng said excitedly: "If it weren't troublesome, I would have lived in my brother-in-law's house during this time, and it happened to be a meeting with that Fan brother." ”

It was noon, Li Mingxing entertained Jiang Anyi for a family banquet, people are like this, some grudges are easy to resolve through communication, Jiang Anyi intends to make up for the relationship with Li Mingxing in order not to make it difficult for Tong'er. Li Mingxing knew that the future of the Li family would most depend on the support of this young man, so he didn't put on any elders' shelves.

Coming out of the Li Mansion, Jiang Anyi rushed to the West Market, and the residence of the old father-in-law Li Laihe was in the West Market. Jiang Anyi handed over the shop of Xinqi wine to his father-in-law Li Laihe to take care of, although it was not as prosperous as the perfume shop, he could earn back tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. During the dinner at the Li Mansion, Li Mingxing mentioned a few words about his father-in-law, for the sake of Jiang Anyi's face, Li Mingxing took care of the wine shop, and Li Shicheng took the opportunity to come to the door to recognize his relatives. Li Shicheng is very active in Beijing, and often organizes gatherings of people from Zechang Academy, which can be regarded as a little famous, Li Mingxing recognized this great-grandchild, and Li Shicheng has a solid backer in the capital.

The black-lettered signboard in the West Market is still ostentatious, but the store has expanded to three, and the vehicles carrying wine in front of the door are constantly coming and going, and it seems that business is good. The shopkeeper greeted Jiang Anyi with a smile and asked, "Guest officer, what kind of wine do you want to buy?" In addition to burning knives and mixing wine, the small shop has newly entered the gold and jade liquid in Huazhou, do you want to try it? ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "I don't buy wine, I have something to do with your shopkeeper, and I bother the second brother to pass it on for me." ”

Xiao Er saw that Jiang An's righteousness was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he said wait a while, turned around and ran inside to report the news. After a while, Li Laihe was dressed in a blue shirt and a square hat, and walked steadily, not seen for three years, Li Laihe did not see any old at all, and looked like a big boss with a proper demeanor.
