"Where do you live?" Out of the porridge shop, Zhu Sisi asked Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao pointed to the donkey meat restaurant not far away, Zhu Sisi was stunned, and then her chin was powdery, and said, "I'll come to you at night." ”

I want to know that such a pervert who pays attention to the mood of life lives in a vulgar donkey meat restaurant, and listens to the donkey neighing every day, can he not suffer?

According to the usual practice, the regent is half a day away, and he rests twice every seven days, of course, he sometimes has guests in the afternoon and evening, but after coming to Nanjing, there are too many things that need him to make a decision, and he is really a little too busy, and every afternoon, Ye Zhao will also go to his own temporary yamen in the East Prince's Mansion to take a turn.

Ye Zhao actually works in the "Xiyin Academy", which is a Jiangnan residential style two-entry two-story courtyard with red windows and latticework, flying eaves and pavilions, which are extremely antique and quiet. Xiyin Academy originally had a large collection of books, but after the Taiping army occupied Nanjing, the collection of books was burned, and the East King even classified it as a separate courtyard to which the East King Mansion.

Nowadays, Ye Zhao has begun to have people re-purchase books for him, including rare books from previous dynasties, and the second floor is used as a temporary office for Prime Minister Wang.

The Regent's Mansion has more than 100 officials, including a secretary's office, an administrative office, a reporting office, a policy room, and so on.

Ma Deng, the secretary of the secretary's room, Chen Baozhen, the administrative officer of the government office, Li Shuchang, the reporting officer of the official room, and Tan Zhonglin, the director of the policy room, are the new four King Kongs next to the regent.

Needless to say, Madden was a scribe who followed the regent all the way, and the secretary's office was responsible for helping the regent draft letters, handling regular correspondence, and transmitting the recitals that the regent needed to read in person.

In a certain sense, the administrative office is equivalent to the office of the political axe department of various countries in later generations, handling the usual chores of the royal palace, conveying the regent's order to the yamen of various ministries, and coordinating, organizing and urging the affairs of the ministry under the order of the regent, and so on.

Administrative officer Chen Baozhen is less than thirty years old, a native of Yining, Jiangxi, an active thinker, a very energetic young man, Ye Zhao does not know that this is a member of the trajectory of his life changed by himself, if there is no Pingyuan Army in Jiangxi War bandits, Chen Baozhen should have participated in the Hunan Army, and then won the appreciation of Zeng Guofan, the official to the governor of Hunan, with the responsibility of "changing the law and opening up a new", is the arrow figure of the Restoration, the only local real power figure in the local governor who is inclined to the Restoration, but he opposes the equality of civil rights of the Restoration, and opposes the constitutional monarchy, which is not pleasing to both sides, In the end, he was dismissed and never to be used.

There are only a few people in the official office to report on the news, which is a way for the palace to release news to the outside world, and maintains close contact with official and non-governmental newspaper industries such as "China Times" and "Cantonese Daily".

Although there are few people, in Ye Zhao's eyes, the responsibility of reporting the official office is extremely important.

The reporting officer Li Shuchang is a protégé of Zheng Zhen, a giant in the southwest and deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, in his early twenties, who is also full of momentum, and was favored by Ye Zhao and clicked into the palace. Because Ye Zhao knew his name, he was a famous diplomat and essayist in the late Qing Dynasty.

Needless to say, the policy room is a place to study national policies, with the largest number of officials, and even more visiting scholars, and almost all leaders from all walks of life are on the list of guest consultants, and there are thousands of people.

Tan Zhonglin, the director of the policy house, is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, born in Jinshi, edited by Hanlin, supervises the imperial history of Jiangnan Province, and the Pingyuan Army recovers half of Jiangxi, he serves as the prefect of Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, and publishes many articles in the "China Times".

In later generations, this is a pen to compete for political achievements, and now it is extremely enlightened, Ye Zhao naturally ordered him to enter the house and put it around him to cultivate. But I didn't know that this Tan Zhonglin was also famous in the history of the late Qing Dynasty, and finally became the governor of Liangguang, because Kowloon was forced to lease to the British, he was ashamed, and he was unable to return to heaven, so he returned to his hometown on the grounds of old age.

Ye Zhao's office was spacious and bright, but it was just as stuffy.

Sure enough, not long after he came back, before his buttocks were hot, the Minister of Education Guo Liangjun came to see the regent, shaking his fan, Ye Zhao met him, drank a few sips of hot tea, and the heat in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.

"Lord Wang, student Meng Lang!" Guo Liangjun naturally knew that the prince insisted on the habit of sitting in the government for half a day, and to put it mildly, except for Yongzhengye, I am afraid that no king has such diligence as a regent, let alone a prince of the clan who has nothing to do.

He also came to the academy with the idea of trying it out, if the prince is at the best, if he is not there, he can only come to see him again, but the prince is really there, and he is looking through the documents on the table, and he can't help but feel that it disturbs the prince's cultivation.

Ye Zhao smiled: "No need to say kind words, let's talk about it, what's wrong?" Looking at Guo Liangjun's expression, he knew that he had encountered a dilemma.

Guo Liangjun said: "The students came for the funds for the construction of the school in the city of Nanjing, but Master Gong repeatedly shirked it, and the money could not be allocated for a long time, and the students really had no rice to cook." "To the Minister of Finance, Gong Bingchang, he is obviously a little resentful.

The construction of Nanjing is naturally the highlight of the paving process, preparing to set up three national primary schools, one national middle school for boys and one for girls, in fact, the money is not much, but the construction of Nanjing City is complicated, and the Ministry of Finance has an overall plan.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "I know, I will send a message to urge this iron rooster." Calling Gong Bingchang by his name can also show his preference, this great housekeeper of the Southern Dynasty is indeed very popular with Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao glanced at him with a smile again, and said: "Fusheng, the education of the ten provinces in the south is all on you, and the matter of Nanjing has its own heart in southern Anhui Province and Nanjing Mansion, you can't just stare at this corner of the place!" "Saying that, I also had a heart in my heart, where to find this kind of education minister? For the sake of a few schools to do it themselves, speaking of which, it is still because the popularity of the school is not enough, not to mention the middle school, only in Guangzhou, Ji'an, and now Nanjing, there are only three middle school schools.

"Yes, students know." Guo Liangjun said respectfully.

Ye Zhao shook his fan a few times and said, "If you don't come, I'm still looking for you, next year, we will open a science and technology in the southern country, what do you think?" ”

Guo Liangjun was stunned and looked at Ye Zhao in amazement, even if he had a thousand questions, it was not good to directly question the regent.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "We are not taking the champion to explore the flowers, the ministry is newly established, and it is necessary to bloom everywhere to include talents, and the subjects naturally include classics, political theories, new studies and specialties needed by various ministries and offices, and it is also considered to be the end of the trip, to see what talents we have in the south." I estimate that there will be no fewer students participating in this scientific examination, and if they encounter outstanding ones, they can be included, work and study, and they can also choose a batch of good seedlings to be sent to middle schools and universities for further study. ”

Guo Liangjun suddenly said with a smile: "That dare is good, in this way, there will be a lot less hindrance to the promotion of new learning." "Learning is sold to the emperor's family, this study, with the rush to be an official, there will be more and more people who send children to the new school.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "This matter, your ministry will discuss it, all ministries will discuss it, and I will see what I have in mind when I go back, the first scientific examination must not be sloppy, and you must always prepare carefully." He waved his hand again, "You can go back and get a charter for me to refer to." ”

Soon after Guo Liangjun retired, the Minister of Communications Ihachi asked for a meeting, and the survey team that was ready to inspect the line of Fuzhou, Guangxin, Ningguo, Taiping, and Nanjing for the survey and mapping of the railway line was ready to leave, but the regent never gave his approval.

In fact, this is Ye Zhao's biggest headache now, this line of terrain is extremely complicated, the rivers are deep and turbulent, I am afraid that I need to go through the mountains and forests, even if there is no problem technically, but the cost is inevitably high, there is no tens of millions of silver can not come down, recently railway stocks in London have been coldly received, including this conceived railway, almost no one cares, this is also because a new round of economic crisis is gradually coming to an end, the banks of the Taixi Railway Company are gradually recovering, and the funds that fled to the East are naturally less.

The railway bonds can't be sold, Ye Zhao originally thought that if the Tianjing Holy Treasury could really copy out a huge amount of money, he would invest all of it on this railway, but the Holy Treasury was only more than one million silver, and now there is really no rice to cook, and he can't borrow chickens to lay eggs, and he has no family fund, so he can't take out this silver.

However, this railway must be repaired, and with this railway, the railway line of the Southern Dynasties can be regarded as truly connecting the north and the south, and the circulation of resources and goods in several provinces will be smooth, and the entire economy of the Southern Dynasties will benefit from it.

"You tell the survey team to go." Ye Zhao groaned slightly, and then made up his mind, no matter what, prepare early, silver, you have to find a way to get it.

Soon after Ihachi said goodbye, Health Minister Mao Changxi came again, in fact, these ministers didn't care about the back party, the royal party, or what happened in the report, in fact, most of them were very happy, and they were full of joy without showing a trace. Isn't it? Each of them has become a central minister, and the country of the Southern Dynasty is strong, which is enough to compete with the Northern Dynasty, and it is no longer the pattern of the small court in the past.

Even if Mao Changxi, an official who followed the two palaces all the way south and was loyal to the first emperor, the two palaces and the little elder brother, it is difficult to say that the regent is not a word in his heart, because he also knows very well that without the regent, there will be no two palaces and no emperor, let alone the glory he is today, of course, if the regent is really ready to add a yellow robe as legendary, then it is another matter, at least for now, he obeys the regent's edict.

After Mao Changxi left, Rui Si came again, and the new head of the Internal Affairs Office could not hide his joy, kowtowing again and again to thank him, and thank his master for his cultivation.

Rui Si really didn't expect that one day he would wear a yellow coat and become a member of the second rank and the head of the Internal Affairs Office.

"Did you find any clues?" Ye Zhao asked while tasting tea, drank several cups of hot tea, and the heat in his heart gradually dissipated.

Rui Si lowered his head and said, "The minions are still stepping up their investigation." ”

The first task of the Internal Affairs Bureau in Nanjing City is to track down Hong Renji's whereabouts, yesterday it was said that the East King was ambushed, and the Internal Affairs Bureau sprinkled countless eyeliners in the court, looking for people with suspicious appearances, even if Hong Renji did not appear, but he would always call people to take a look, right?

Hearing that Rui Si still hadn't written a letter, Ye Zhao frowned slightly, didn't he escape from Nanjing City?

"Even if the slave turns Nanjing upside down, he will find him out!" Rui Si was also ruthless.

Ye Zhao waved his hand, "That's not necessary!" Don't make such a fuss. "If you really sift through the house to house, you don't have to wait until now, but Ye Zhaonian and Pingyuanjun searched door to door when they just entered the city, if they sifted this Nanjing city again for Hong Renji's saive, it would really disturb the people, and there was no need.

"There you go! Just serve a snack. Ye Zhao waved his hand.

Rui Si hurriedly knelt down and stepped back.
