After confirming that Gu Mei would participate, Yang Chao visited the officialdom of Nanjing City one after another.

Ordinary people may not know it yet, but the officialdom knows the news of Zhou Yanru's reappearance without exception.

Yang Chao's fame rose by this, and when he saw Zhou Yanru seeing him again, Qian Qianyi, an old guy, licked his face and came up, wrote a letter to Zhou Yanru, led Donglin and the Restoration Society to start reconciliation, and invited many celebrities of the Restoration Society to do several gatherings.

No one knows whether Qian Qianyi can confront Zhou Yanru, but they all know that the Donglin Restoration Society has cooperated again.

Nanjing officials happened to be dominated by Donglin and Fushe, so the officialdom was suddenly full of joy and movement.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yanru was able to make a comeback this time, Ruan Dacheng played a big role and provided most of the money, but Ruan Dacheng is a eunuch, and no one wants to be friendly with him, so he may not really dislike his character as a eunuch, I am afraid that if Ruan Dacheng recovers, he will occupy the official positions of Donglin and Fushe.

Therefore, no one has made friends with Ruan Dacheng, but it does not mean that Yang Chao is disgusted.

Yang Chao once helped Ruan Dacheng do things, everyone knows this, and knows that Yang Chao is a figure who has no fame, but is very good at doing things, and has played a great role in helping Zhou Yanru get back on his feet.

Ruan Dacheng is a eunuch and a jinshi, and he can occupy the official position of the Donglin Fushe, but Yang Chao is just a child and cannot be an official, so more people are willing to make friends with Yang Chao.

Yang Chao knew this very well, and he knew that when he handed his greeting to any yamen in Nanjing, he would probably treat him politely.

Yang Chao still knows in his heart that everyone is not sure whether he has anything to do with Zhou Yanru, so he is polite to himself, if he knows that Yang Chao doesn't know Zhou Yanru at all, and Zhou Yanru is too lazy to deal with Yang Chao, I'm afraid no one will give Yang Chao a good look.

To put it bluntly, Yang Chao's fame has risen with the rise of Zhou Yanru's worth.

Zhou Yanru is not the first assistant, Yang Chao is worthless, Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, and Yang Chao's reputation is hot.

That's why, Yang Chao had to make sure that after receiving the news that Zhou Yanru was the first assistant, he went to Yang Wencong to clean up Xu Zhongxiao, because Zhou Yanru couldn't be the first assistant, no one was willing to cooperate with him, and no one believed in himself.

Similarly, Yang Chao will not start to open the Jinchai Building until Zhou Yanru becomes the first assistant, and it is precisely with this momentum that the fame of the Jinchai Tower will be launched to the greatest extent.

Yang Chao kept visiting, inviting officials, celebrities, and talents.

Everything went smoothly and they were all very kind to him.

There is even a momentum of rushing, which makes Yang Chao a little unexpected.

After understanding Yang Wencong, I learned that the last time Yang Chao had a meeting, Zhou Yanru was finally promoted to be the first assistant, and those people in the officialdom were very superstitious, thinking that this was very auspicious, and it seemed that Yang Chao's assembly was contaminated, and it seemed that there was an official fortune.

But the core is that Zhou Yanru became the first assistant, because in addition to pushing Zhou Yanru to be the first assistant in the last meeting, Zhang Pu also died, and Zhang Pu's death was selectively ignored at this time.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing is that he is still not sure whether Yang Chao has a close relationship with Zhou Yanru, and he gives Zhou Yanru face.

Yang Chao just took advantage of this, and the Donglin Restoration Society was forming a good time, Donglin people were very active and willing to interact with the Restoration Society, so they invited Donglin and the Restoration Society to their own Jinchai Building.

It is also the first time that Yang Chao has directly connected with these scribes, the civil official group, and the officialdom.

Of course, most of the time, Yang Chao did not directly post to ask for a meeting, but asked Yang Wencong to introduce him.

Direct posting is too conspicuous, so it is easier for both parties to accept it psychologically.

More and more officials agreed to attend Yang Chao's rally, and Yang Chao slowly lined up, trying to take advantage of their fame.

……

The Jinchai Building has been renovated according to Yang Chao's requirements, and the backyard has not been moved, which is Ruan Dacheng's home.

On the second floor of the front yard, all of them are opened up and become four halls, each of which can accommodate 300 people.

A layer of seats was added to the hall, and a three-foot-high platform was set up in front of it, which was large enough to accommodate 100 people to perform.

There is a bright lamp hanging in the hall, and there are lamps on the walls next to it, behind the doors and windows.

In addition, there are no highlights in the hall, and Kang Cheng even thinks that this hall is extremely unemotional, almost a luxurious theater garden.

However, the first floor is still in the style of the past, except for the doors and windows replaced with painted Ming tile windows depicting Meilan chrysanthemum bamboo, the furnishings, furniture, paintings on the walls, and flowers in the room are all decorated in the style common in the green building.

The room on the first floor is also like an ordinary green building, where the girl can sing songs and recite poems against Caidan.

However, it has been a few days since the decoration was completed, but Yang Chao has not let Kang Cheng open, which makes Kang Cheng a little anxious.

Spending money is like flowing water, the 1,500 taels given by Yang Chao have been spent, and the 3,000 taels of silver that Wang Xiao got from have also spent 2,000 taels of them, but not a penny has come into the account, which makes Kang Cheng bear a lot of pressure.

He asked for the opening of the Qinglou, and he was looking for Yang Chao, but he kept spending money and didn't make any money, how can this work.

But Yang Chao was not in a hurry, he had no choice, Yang Chao just asked him to wait, he didn't know when to go.

……

Hu Quan has been killing pigs for several months, and he has gone from being unfamiliar to being familiar with this business, and now he himself regards himself as a butcher.

Like Kang Cheng, thinking back to the last time such a meeting, he was like a dream, he couldn't believe that he actually participated in such a gathering with rich Qian Yi and Zhang Pu, and he couldn't believe that this meeting was to decide a first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Every morning, Hu Quan put a fan of pork from his home on a cart, and with his father, he pushed it to his butcher's shop outside the south gate, and then sold it with his father for a day.

When he returned home in the evening, Hu Quan had to slaughter two or three pigs with his father and a few hired workers, sometimes four or five, and their family could sell 100 catties of pork every day, and sometimes 300 catties of pork.

I can earn 20 taels to 60 taels of silver every day, and after removing the cost, the bad meat that can't be sold can make a profit of one tael of silver a day, or even higher.

Hu Quan's father Hu Wanguan is proud of his own butcher shop, and often boasts that what he took over from his father is just a small shop, but now, he is already a figure with a face in the meat shop.

The shop was originally going to be passed on to Hu Quan's eldest brother Hu Zhou, but when the eldest brother killed the pig, he was injured by the pig's arch, although the doctor said that the arm could still grow well, but Hu Quan knew that his father already had plans to let him accept the butcher shop, because he was worried that the eldest brother's hand would not be able to kill the pig in the future, and he would not be able to cut the meat.

Hu Wanguan said that a butcher who can't kill pigs is a butcher.

"Give, count!"

Hu Quanzheng was thinking about it, and his father threw over a bunch of money.

Hu Quan hurriedly took it and counted it, and after counting, he put the money into his account.

Seeing that his son was familiar with the notebook, Hu Wanguan was very satisfied, Hu Quan could not only help him kill pigs and cut meat, but also knew how to write and keep accounts, and did not spend money in vain to let him study.

My sister-in-law was busy on the side, glancing at Hu Quan from time to time.

"Uncle, there will be a imperial examination next year, I said, you have to go to study. What's the point of killing pigs! ”

The sister-in-law whispered.

After the eldest brother was injured, he recuperated at home, and after a little better, the sister-in-law had to go to the shop to help, the sister-in-law was also a butcher, and her family's meat shop was outside the Shuixi Gate.

Hu Quan knew that his sister-in-law was worried that his father would give him the shop, so he kept staring at it, saying that he would let him study, which was also the reason.

However, Hu Quan really didn't have any intention of being a butcher, and after the rally, Hu Quan lost interest in anything.

But what should he do, what can he do.

"Son, go and send the meat to Uncle Xu."

Hu Wanguan's voice sounded.

Hu Quan sighed, and immediately wrapped the meat in a large lotus leaf, and skillfully wrapped it with hemp rope, where his father was making love with a butler-like figure with a smile on his face, and quietly stuffed a handful of money into the man's sleeve.

Hu Quan knew that this person was surnamed Xu, a descendant of Xu Zhongxiao's family, the Xu family was a big family, and the money from selling meat alone would cost fifty or sixty taels every year, and he was the biggest customer of his butcher's shop.

Just like buying meat once this time, it is a penny, more than 1,000 pieces, which is equivalent to more than one or two pieces of silver, and buying five catties of meat.

Five catties of meat is not heavy, but Steward Xu will not be contaminated with fishy flesh, so Hu Quan can only send it to his family.

Steward Xu walked with his hands behind his back in front of him, and Hu Quan followed with meat on his back.

"Uncle Xu. Is this a banquet for the Hundred Households, how do you buy so much meat? ”

Hu Quan used the excuse to take the housekeeper's words.

Steward Xu glanced at Hu Quan with disdain: "There are hundreds of people up and down the Xu family, and one person is not enough to eat, what kind of guests are at the banquet!" ”

Hu Quan smiled and said, "That's the case." That's the hundred households who ate it themselves, and the hundred households have a good appetite, and they eat so much at once. ”

Steward Xu couldn't help but snort: "You little butcher is really far from your father, you are still a scholar, and you are stupid to read." A hundred adults can't eat so much in a day. Besides, the adults of the hundred households have entered Beijing, and they can't eat. ”

Hu Quan's heart moved, Xu Zhongxiao entered Beijing!

He really didn't know about that.

But he has already decided in his heart that this news must be told to Yang Chao immediately, although he is killing pigs and Yang Chao is being an official, but the two have not broken contact, Yang Chao also asked him to keep an eye on the situation of the Xu family, but Hu Quan kills pigs all day long, but he has no chance.

Fortunately, the Xu family is his own customer, which allows Hu Quan to receive some information about the Xu family.

After coming out of Xu's house, Hu Quan immediately ran to Yang's house, and when he passed by the county yamen, he suddenly saw many people surrounding the yamen.

The government posted a notice, and Yang Chao squeezed in front of the notice and was immediately stunned.

It is said on the list that the Ming Dynasty has changed to a new first assistant, and the new first assistant is Zhou Yanru!

Hu Quan was stunned, they really pushed Zhou Yanru to the position of first assistant!

At the same time as Hu Quan's heart was shocked, he immediately had a thought of 'Lao Tzu will never sell meat again', thinking that he Hu Quan had even done such a big thing as promoting Shoufu, but now he was going to sell meat, it was too boring.

He decided as soon as possible that he wanted to go to Yang Chao immediately, but suddenly he had no strength in his legs.

Pushing Zhou Yanru to power is what Yang Chao did in Hu Quan's opinion, and Yang Chao is now an official, what is he a butcher, why should he find someone else, why should he be with others.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, Hu Quan dragged his heavy legs and walked towards his butcher shop, forgetting even about reporting the news.
