Fu Qian walked out of the Hou Mansion in a daze, and there were also people around him who came out of the list.

This time, the Hou Mansion recruited officials, which still attracted the attention of many people, and there were some idlers and ordinary people watching around.

Seeing Fu Qian come out with an unfortunate face, obviously not among the winners, the number of people who laughed at him suddenly increased, even if they were also on the list, when they saw Fu Qian, they took the initiative to stay away from him.

It's not that Fu Qian's bad character is so resentful, the main thing is that his reputation as a prodigy when he was a child was too loud, the so-called "other people's children" is Fu Qian's situation when he was a teenager, if such a person continues to be strong, these people who demean him now will brag for Fu Qian, and even claim to be his relatives and friends, adding glory to his face.

But now Fu Qian has been sinking, and the previous praise has become sarcasm, not only did no one comfort him, but they all stepped on this person doubly, as if they could retract their previous praise for Fu Qian through such a move, and also free themselves from the suspicion of not knowing people.

Human nature is dark, and Fu Qian only vaguely understood at this time that fame and fortune do not matter, and the opinions of outsiders do not matter, the important thing is to make himself and his closest family members live well.

He staggered forward step by step, and there were bursts of yin and yang weird ridicule in his ears, Fu Qian listened to it a lot, and he almost didn't take it to heart.

It's just worrying, I used to think about serving in the Hou Mansion, so that I can get the family out of the predicament, but now everything is empty, and I don't know how to face my parents and wife when I go back.

Fu Qian had tears in his eyes, not for white eyes and ridicule, but for self-hatred and incompetence, he had been studying for more than ten years, and he couldn't even support his parents......

At this time, a few scoundrels stopped Fu Qian and began to mock him.

"Isn't this the famous Fu prodigy?"

"Have you been admitted to the Hou Mansion?"

"What is it? Secretary Lang? School scrivener? Wen Qilang? Or is it Bingchenglang? ”

Hou Mansion Accumulated Officials, such as Jiyi Text, can be guaranteed as the secretary Lang from the Nine Pins, Shuqi Text, can be guaranteed as the school Shulang, welcome the deputy guests or pedestrians who run errands, can be Bingcheng Lang, all from the Nine Pins, but there is a quota limit, and the General Hou Mansion will not be easy to promote.

Fu Qian swallowed his anger and said, "I haven't offended my neighbors yet, right?" Please give way, I'm going home. ”

"Just drill down from Lao Tzu." A scoundrel smiled frivolously and said, "Lao Tzu hates you as useless waste as you study, if you don't climb over, I'll beat you up today." ”

Fu Qian's face was pale, he would definitely not give in, but if he was beaten by a few scoundrels, his reputation would be even more stinky, and it would be difficult to recover it in the future.

If you are humiliated by stepping down, you might as well commit suicide.

Just when they were in a dilemma, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind Fu Qian, and everyone looked back, but they saw Xu Zixian, who was wearing a martial crown, galloping on his horse, followed by a few guards, five or six war horses galloping through the streets of the town, and the people around were panicking to get out of the way.

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu!" Xu Zi slowed down the horse when he got closer first, and when he got closer, he turned over and dismounted, and then people saw that his boots were not properly worn.

The people around him were dumbfounded, Xu Zi first pulled out his boots and stood up, and when he saw a few stupid scoundrels, he immediately understood what was going on, and immediately turned his head to Jin and hugged him: "Hug one, beat these goods hard and throw them into the garbage heap." ”

The area south of the town near the farmland is a large garbage dump with a foul smell......

Jin Baoyi laughed and said, "Interesting, I like this errand." ”

In the screams of several scoundrels, Xu Zixian said to Fu Qian: "I'm sorry, the people under Mr. Fu's answer sheet were negligent and didn't take a closer look. ”

Fu Qian didn't believe it, he knew his own volume, and his level was indeed medium at most, and he said to Xu Zixian: "The son of the world has won the award, and Fu really doesn't dare to be it." ”

"Then I'll be honest." Xu Zixian knew that playing tricks on smart people might not necessarily have a good effect, so it was better to tell the truth. When he said in a deep voice: "I have long heard that Mr. Fu is very interested in miscellaneous science, the Hou Mansion will develop some industries in the future, and needs the help of someone like Mr. Fu, this is the reason, if Mr. stays, don't try it, I can directly entrust the Hou Mansion General as a position, although it is an official, it can also be promoted as an official ......in the future."

Only then did Fu Qian know why the prince was so eager to chase after him, it turned out that he still regretted his miscellaneous skills, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy for a while.

"Don't worry." Fu Qian's face was sad and joyful, and he bowed down and said: "Fu will definitely try his best to repay, although his talent is not outstanding, but when the Hou Mansion is useful, he will definitely do his best." ”

"It's for the best." Xu Zixian was really happy, but he still tried to restrain himself, and he couldn't let his subordinates know that he valued his superiors too much...... He tried to calm down as much as possible, and said: "Please Sir go back to the Hou Mansion, I will hold a banquet to entertain the people who are retained today, Sir, please go back with me." ”

"Thank you, Shizi."

In the evening, Fu Qian and Chen Daojian and others went to the Hou Mansion banquet together, the banquet was held in the South Building, which was originally the place where the Hou Ye of the past dynasties feasted in the courtyard, although the wine and food were simple, and the courtesans were not summoned to help the fun, but there was the prince of the world to accompany him, the Hou Mansion Feng Chang Li Yi, the captain Qin Dongyang and others were all present, the atmosphere between the guests and the host was quite warm, even Fu Qian left eight people in the Hou Mansion in the Inner Hou Mansion, in addition to the guests also need to choose people, the Hou Mansion in Fuzhou is generally as manpower as it is now.

Three officials, dozens of generals, with more than ten officials, and some doormen, stewards, deputy stewards, village heads, kitchen heads, servants, gardeners, sprinklers, servants, maids, maids, and so on.

Generally, more than 100 people will be employed in the Hou Mansion Mansion, including dozens of people who sign contracts and dozens or even hundreds of people who are conscripted.

The palace of Qi and the palace of Zhao are different, there are the chief of the palace from the six products, the palace Sima, the palace secretary Lang, the general Zuolang, and Zhu Cao to join the army, and then the party is the official.

Any palace has a large number of people, hundreds of generals, a large number of officials, servants, Zhao Wangfu is afraid that there are more than a thousand people, and ordinary public mansions cannot be compared with it, let alone Nan'anhou Mansion.

In any case, everyone here felt Xu Zixian's determination and will, and the Hou Mansion seemed to be really revitalizing. Even when Xu Yingbin was an official in his heyday, it was nothing more than that.

But Li Yi and others still feel that there is a hidden worry, the Hou Mansion has not yet accepted the stall left by Li Cheng, the income is still relatively small, the expenses have increased sharply, the income has not increased, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the Hou Mansion can't really expect to borrow money to live.

If the next time can't return the benefits to the Hou Mansion, the current grand occasion is just a flash in the pan.

After dark, Fu Qian returned home drunk.

His wife, who had not yet slept, welcomed her husband into the house with a lantern.

Fu Qian put the usual money on the table, although it was only a thousand yuan, the yellow copper color was still particularly pleasant under the faint light.

"This is consistent money, and it will be given again in the middle of the month and at the end of the month." Fu Qian was quite happy and said: "There is also a stone of grain, firewood, meat, cloth and other gifts, and my family will not be short of money in the future." ”

Of course, the wife was happy, the family drank gruel for half a month, the children were hungry and panicked, the relatives had no one to help, and the neighbors saw jokes, this kind of taste, people who have not experienced it will not understand.

The wife couldn't help but say, "All the sisters said that I shouldn't have married you in the first place, but now I want them to see whose husband is stronger." ”

Fu Qian nodded and said, "I know that you have suffered in recent years, don't worry, I will make up for it one by one." ”

The wife exclaimed: "Don't do things you shouldn't do in the Hou Mansion and take money you shouldn't take." ”

"How is this possible?" Fu Qian said dissatisfiedly: "The prince uses me to do great things, and the reward will slowly rise, and when the matter is done, my monthly salary will rise, and I will be promoted as an official, and then you will be the wife of an official, look at what your relatives and friends will look like at that time." ”

Fu Qian's wife was a little relieved, but she still said: "So the prince wants to get Li Cheng's property in his hands, everyone knows about it, and I am still listening to the people in the town today." They all said that the prince of the world saw things too easily, but behind Li Cheng were Qishan thieves, those were all strongmen who killed people without blinking, and they may not see it in the eyes of the prince of the Hou Mansion. ”

This is a big worry, Fu Qian is a smart person, and he felt it in the Hou Mansion today, and the Hou Mansion lacked financial resources. If you want to expand your influence and recruit troops, you have to increase your income.

Now the domestic and foreign difficulties of the country, many local powerful are enhancing the strength in their hands, and the imperial court has been suppressing the clan in the past few years, since King Zhao arrived in Fuzhou only slightly relaxed, but the power struggle within the Beijing division is still quite powerful, the left minister Han Zhong is the faction of cutting the domain, and the main focus is on suppressing the clan and the local tyrants, weakening the local military and financial power, and returning the interests to the center.

Xu Xiashang, the right minister, was born in the clan, and the main clan is the foundation of the country, the center, and the local are all important, and it is not a good policy to be outside and inside.

There are also many problems, such as the three redundant problems, local centrifugation, financial confusion, and military system confusion.

In fact, the rest of the things are not the most important, but the most important thing is the wealth.

The main problem of the Great Wei military and political system, whether it is the central or the local, is not too big, the main problem is that there are displaced people inside, there are Donghu, Xiqiang, Beiguo, and pirates are rampant, and there is a need to use military salaries everywhere, and the country is getting poorer and poorer, and the wealth is difficult to sustain.

And the problems and troubles brought by the long-term war are also very great, and the collapse of the dynasty is most likely caused by this.

Fu Qian would not consider these big problems, but what he considered was whether the Hou Mansion could really achieve what the prince envisioned, slowly recovering the wealth and enriching the manpower.

"You can only take one step, and look at one step." Fu Qian's excitement decreased a lot, and he said: "But for the sake of eating the king, I still have to work hard to be loyal to the king." ”

Fu's wife agreed and said, "It's best for my husband to think like this. ”
