A bowl of gruel, a nest head, and a few pickles, this is the dinner that the people of Lu'an Mansion received from the porridge shed of the official mansion. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network)

Even if these things are not eaten well, they may not be able to eat enough, but at least they can be eaten, so most of the people are already very content.

When it was Zhao Junchen's turn to receive the porridge, the official who sent the porridge also specially flattered Zhao Junchen to give Zhao Junchen a nest head, this time Zhao Junchen did not refuse, but when he left the porridge shed, he divided the two nest heads to the old man's two grandchildren, not waiting for the old man to refuse, Zhao Junchen already smiled and said: "Just let the children eat more, it is the time to grow the body, I am not hungry, and it is enough to drink a bowl of porridge." โ€

As he spoke, without waiting for the old man to speak, Zhao Junchen left.

After drinking all the porridge in front of the people, Zhao Junchen returned to his temporary residence in Lu'an Mansion accompanied by Liu Changan and others. There, Xu Qingyan had been waiting for a long time.

Xu Qingyan had a loose temperament, didn't like to work, and was too lazy to engage in a "face project" with Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen simply left him in the city to add chaos to the province.

Xu Qingyan had nothing to do in the main house, and when he saw Zhao Junchen coming back, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and said, "Young Master, this day is really hard for you." โ€

Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile and said, "Yes, where is it like you, I am idle all day long, I am beginning to envy you." โ€

Xu Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "Young master, if you want me to say that you are acting anyway, you will have to go for a few days, why do you still go every day?" You are expensive, you are so tired all day, what should you do when you are tired? โ€

Zhao Junchen rubbed his shoulders and said, "It's only been a few days, now that the locust plague has been extinguished, and the distribution of relief grain and grass is also progressing steadily, in a few days, we will be able to go back." โ€

Xu Qingyan nodded, didn't say anything more, just took out a plate of food from the back room, put it in front of Zhao Junchen, and said with a smile: "Young master, I bought you a piece of beef tongue, how about you taste it?" โ€

Zhao Junchen nodded, did not refuse, and ate like this.

Since Zhao Junchen and the people of Lu'an Mansion "shared weal and woe", Xu Qingyan would find some meat for Zhao Junchen every day, and Zhao Junchen himself had an appetite for meat, plus Xu Qingyan was for his good, and no one knew, so he came back every day to eat Xiaozao.

Zhao Junchen believes that not only him, but Liu Changan and others are probably just like themselves now, enjoying the food of Xiaozao, and maybe it will be even richer.

And this is also the reason why Zhao Junchen will give away the nest, because he knows that he can't be hungry. The thing in the wotou, it's okay to eat it once in a while, but if you eat it all the time, Zhao Junchen's stomach really can't adapt to it.

It may be hypocritical to do this, but the so-called "sharing of weal and woe" between the superior and the subordinate is the same thing in the first place.

In Zhao Junchen's view, the basis of sharing weal and woe lies in the equal conditions, if there are obviously better conditions, but they share weal and woe with ordinary people, Zhao Junchen asked himself, it is indeed impossible to hold on for a few days.

Just as Zhao Junchen was enjoying the delicious taste of beef tongue, a servant outside the door reported: "My lord, Guo Linxiang asks to see you." โ€

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, he didn't know why Guo Linxiang came here, but he still said: "Let him wait for a while, and I will go see him immediately." โ€

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen wiped the oil on his mouth with a scarf, and after a little reluctantly glanced at the beef tongue that had only eaten a few bites, he walked towards the guest hall.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

When Zhao Junchen came to the guest hall, Guo Linxiang was waiting there, with a brocade box in his hand, and he didn't know what it contained.

"Let Boss Guo wait for a long time, forgive me."

After entering the room, Zhao Junchen arched his hand at Guo Linxiang.

"Your Excellency, you're so polite."

Guo Linxiang replied, and was about to kneel down, but was supported by Zhao Junchen, and after helping Guo Linxiang up, Zhao Junchen smiled: "You still said that the official is polite, and you want the official to say that you are too polite, you and I have known each other, and the official does not treat you as an outsider, these false courtesies are not necessary." โ€

After the two sides sat down, Zhao Junchen asked, "I don't know if Boss Guo came to find this official so late, but what is the important matter?" โ€

Guo Linxiang replied with a smile: "I shouldn't have come to disturb the adults so late, but these days, the adults have been running around for the extermination of locusts, and I don't know where to look for the adults, and secondly, there are many people, and it is inconvenient, so I can only come at this time." โ€

While speaking, Guo Linxiang opened the brocade box in his hand, but saw a book inside, and then Guo Linxiang sent the book to Zhao Junchen and said, "Please take a look at it." โ€

Zhao Junchen took the book, but saw that the cover of the book was written with the words "Lu'an Mansion Locust Extermination Record".

Open it and take a look, as the title says, all the things that happened before and after the extermination of locusts in Lu'an Mansion are recorded, and the debate between Zhao Junchen and Zhang Qicheng during the sacrifice to heaven is mainly described, as well as the deeds of Zhao Junchen who personally exterminated the locusts with the people.

After Zhao Junchen took a cursory look at it, he waved the book in his hand, looked up at Guo Linxiang and asked, "Boss Guo, what does this mean?" โ€

Guo Linxiang said with a smile: "Please don't misunderstand, this is the common meaning of this Jin businessmen, adults have loved the people like sons these days, for the country and the people's mind, we are all in the eyes, but also for the adults to do and moved, but when I think of the people, there are many misunderstandings about adults, they are all angry and helpless, so after summing up, I thought of this method, the adults in Lu'an Mansion did to record what you did in Lu'an Mansion into a book, and distribute it to the world, in order to correct the name of the adults!! โ€

A hint of joy flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes, and he felt that what Guo Linxiang did was in line with his own thoughts, and it is conceivable that when this book is published in the world, Zhao Junchen's reputation is likely to change from "messy" to "mixed reputation".

For Zhao Junchen, this book is much more valuable than the 100,000 taels of silver tickets that the Jin merchants had honored before.

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Junchen still hesitated and said: "I understand Boss Guo's intentions, but is the intention too obvious?" โ€

Guo Linxiang shook his head and said: "My lord, you don't know, the people of this world, not only are they prejudiced against you, many members of the imperial court, and their reputation among the people is not very good, and there are many radical people who think that my Ming Dynasty has now been accused by corrupt officials, but the actual situation is naturally completely opposite. โ€

Zhao Junchen's actions in Lu'an Mansion these days, as well as his intentions, naturally can't hide Guo Linxiang, the head snake, and understands that Zhao Junchen has the intention of reversing his bad reputation among the people. In Guo Linxiang's view, an official of the imperial court, whether he is a corrupt official or a clean official, if he does not pay attention to his reputation and reputation, he is a completely unqualified official. Only with a good official reputation can you stand in the officialdom for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Linxiang attaches more importance to Zhao Junchen, because Guo Linxiang saw Zhao Junchen's "ambition" from Zhao Junchen's actions, and because of this "ambition", the attitude of the Jinshang Group, including Guo Linxiang, towards Zhao Junchen has also changed from a "collaborator" to an "important and long-term collaborator".

The Jin Shang Group has always focused on cultivating its own spokesperson in the center of the imperial court, and even praised the spokesperson of the Jin Shang Group as the first assistant of the cabinet, but with the reform of Emperor Chongzhen, the power of the merchants in the imperial court has weakened, although there are still many spokespersons, but the weight is somewhat insufficient.

And the appearance of Zhao Junchen, in the eyes of Guo Linxiang and other Jinshang groups, may be an opportunity to change this situation!

Therefore, the Jinshang Group will prepare to publish this "Lu'an Mansion Locust Eradication Record" to help Zhao Junchen, that is, to further tie Zhao Junchen, and to further Zhao Junchen's status and power in the court in the future.

On the other side, after hearing Guo Linxiang say this, Zhao Junchen nodded, and was just about to say something, when he saw another servant hurrying over and reported to Zhao Junchen: "My lord, there is an angel in the capital!" โ€
