Day 3, morning.

In the second half of last night, there was thunder again, and the storm did not stop until dawn, when the rain became lighter.

The raindrops hit the banana leaves behind Wu Yanzhi's room, and the sound was very loud, but after Wu Yanzhi woke up in the middle of the night, he never slept well.

Today, he got up early.

Lying on the chair, he began to ponder about the need to build a big project, which was also a big project that he must strive to complete before leaving Beijing.

He's going to be a blockbuster!

After washing, it was dawn.

After eating breakfast, he asked Zhang Tai to go to the door of the Taoist Temple to greet Cui Shilian and Cui Yu, and he himself waited for them in the living room of the Cloud Hall at the top of the Taoist Temple.

Today is the day when Cui Shilian brought the new champion Cui Yu to the interview, and Wu Yanzhi planned to make him the copper and iron envoy inspector.

It stands to reason that Cui Yu is the champion of Jinshi and the first, and it is okay to let him be the secretary! However, Wu Yanzhi didn't like his character very much and wanted to temper him.

The inspector is several levels lower than the secretary!

In this Yunxiao Palace, there is a large gilded bronze statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun as high as four meters, and there are many people who come to burn incense on weekdays.

This hall is more than 20 meters higher than other shrines, and the altitude is about the same as where Wu Yanzhi lives.

There is a cedar tree in front of the door, more than one meter in diameter, very large and straight.

Wu Yanzhi looked out the window and saw that it was still drizzling, hitting the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound, and it was comfortable to listen to.

On the steps below, there is a middle-aged couple holding a tung brown oil umbrella, who have come to burn incense very early.

Wu Yan looked at it, could it be that he was here to ask for a son? I heard that the Yuan Shi Tianzun of this Xuantian Temple is very spiritual!

The people in the Taoist temple knew his identity, and the Nine Heavens Daoist also specially arranged a sprinkling and sweeping handyman for him to drive.

Wu Yanzhi arranged for him to make tea today, and also prepared the cloth shoes to be changed when he entered the door, after all, it was raining outside, and he would definitely have to change his shoes when he entered the house! Because at this time, most of them sit on the ground.

Soon, Zhang Tai brought in Cui Shilian and Cui Yu.

In fact, on that day at the bridgehead, although Cui Yu asked Wu Yanzhi, he didn't have much impression of Wu Yanzhi, after all, he was familiar with Gu Zhiwen.

His uncle told him that he wanted him to be the inspector of Wujun Gong, and he was naturally very happy! After all, there is no need for a three-year candidate period, and it is naturally a good thing that you can become an official directly.

After winning the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, he only had the status of an official, and there were still a few years of candidacy period.

This candidacy period is generally three years for Jinshi and five years for the Ming Dynasty.

That Cui Yu changed his shoes with his uncle. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Yanzhi sitting inside! He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Wu Yanzhi!

Hey? Isn't this the landing on the bridge with Gu Zhiwen that day? Why is he here?

Is he also here to be a patrol? Whose relationship did you rely on to have such good luck?

Because he doesn't have a good move, as long as he has literary talent, he may sometimes be recommended to be a patrol officer, secretary and other positions, so he inevitably thinks so.

Cui Yu forgot Wu Yanzhi's name, and didn't call him, but just arched his hand.

That Wu Yanzhi only stared at him lightly and ignored him! Then he got up and greeted his uncle Cui Shilian and said, "Cui Gong is really early, please take a seat!" Serve tea! ”

"Hello Takero! Shichiro, don't hurry up and salute Wu Langzhong! Cui Shilian saw that Cui Yu did not salute in time, so he hurriedly reminded.

Cui Yu was stunned! What the? Is he Wu Langzhong? This......

He was stunned for a moment!

"What are you doing? How can you be so rude? Cui Shilian saw that after he reminded him, Cui Yu was still stunned, so he was very unhappy.

This time, Cui Yu finally came to his senses, his face suddenly turned red, and he was a little nervous and said: "Student Cui Yu sees Wu Langzhong, please forgive the student for being rude!" ”

"Excuse me! You may be seated! Wu Yanzhi still had a faint expression, and he couldn't see that he was not satisfied in the slightest.

Cui Yu sat down in a panic, and looked at Wu Yanzhi from time to time! But Wu Yanzhi didn't look at him, but kept staring at his uncle and chatting with him.

After chatting for a while, we talked about him.

Wu Yanzhi said: "Qilang is the champion of the current department, which is very rare, but after becoming an inspector, you have to temporarily let go of the identity of this champion."

I plan to go to Raozhou after the summer solstice and supervise the establishment of several copper and silver mines! Then in Jiangnan East and West Road, Shannan Road and other places, several smelting supervisors and mining farms were established.

This year, it is planned to add hundreds of thousands of catties of copper to Da Zhou, and the task of Qilang, the inspector, is very heavy.

A few days ago, your uncle told me that you were going to be a magistrate. Presumably Shichiro has also read some books on this in the past few days,

You can talk about the simple knowledge of copper and iron and other hardware smelting, which is a must for doing a good job of copper and iron envoys! ”

"This ...... Let Takero Nakami laugh! Students don't know anything about copper and iron smelting! I didn't have time to look at the book...... "When he heard it, he panicked instantly!

A few days ago, his uncle did tell him that Wu Langzhong was a copper and iron envoy, and he was going to be a patrol! But he thought that it was the same as an ordinary county lieutenant position, he didn't have the slightest preparation at all, and he still spent every day drinking and drinking, and he didn't get drunk and didn't go home!

After listening to his answer, Wu Yanzhi frowned, didn't speak again, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

When Cui Shilian saw it, he knew that Wu Yanzhi was very dissatisfied, so he was so angry that his old face turned red, and he hurriedly said:

"Shichiro, didn't I tell you what position I was going to do? Why don't you flip through the "Examination of the Work Record" and the related hardware book of the previous dynasty?

Do you think that being an official is still the same as reading before, just get a half-understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics?

Even as a county lieutenant, you also have to learn more about how farmers farm, how they weave and spin, and how they resolve disputes among the common people.

You need to know that our daily meals, porridge, cloth and silk are not easy to come by, I think you are getting bigger and more confused! Why don't you hurry up and compensate Wu Lang? Go back and make up the lessons! ”

So Cui Yu hurriedly got up and saluted: "The student knows his mistake!" When they returned today, the students immediately learned the art of hardware mining and smelting.

Please rest assured that the students will be good inspectors and will not disappoint the ambassadors! ”

He hurriedly apologized and made amends, and immediately expressed his determination.

Wu Yanyi looked at his expression and nodded slightly, as if he was more satisfied with his attitude.

I saw him say leisurely: "This is the best!" Copper and iron is a major matter of the country! When you go back, you should also hurry up and prepare, and first go to Shang Fangjian to familiarize yourself with the business.

In the afternoon, I will go to the Ministry of Officials, and hire you as an inspector, and concurrently serve as the school secretary of the Hongwen Pavilion, and the position is from the ninth rank to the top;

Five days later, you will come to me in Shangfang Prison, and when the time comes, you will take back your official uniform and take office! This salary will only be higher than that of officials of the same rank, and there are subsidies.

By the way, you're my staff! It stands to reason that I'm going to give you another dowry! I have inquired, and the general festival makes the dowry of the inspector one hundred times.

I thought, according to eighty times, the money will be taken back to prepare some clothes, horses, etc.! ”

"Students obey!" As soon as he heard that he had just taken office, there would be a salary of eighty yuan, and Cui Yu was full of joy.

Wu Yanzhi finally got a sigh of resentment in his heart!

On the Tianjin Bridge that day, he was underestimated by this Cui Yu, and it was really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!

No, it's only been a month!

After chatting with his uncle and nephew for a while, he proposed to go to Wenchangtai to run errands, and the two hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Wu Yanzhi sent a few of them outside the hall, and then called Zhang Tai over: "You go and bring the horse over, I will enter Wenchangtai immediately and go through the relevant procedures!" ”

"Yes! The minions will go right away! He agreed, and ran out as fast as he could, despite the drizzle.
