Chapter 3 On the Importance of Fame
Ye Heng didn't know that he was thousands of miles away, but he could also make waves.
At this time, the whole of Hangzhou, especially Lin'an, was almost talking about Ye Heng and those rumors about Ye Heng and the Pu family.
For this reason, Cui Wei also raised his eyebrows, and on many occasions, he began to openly express his disdain for Ye Heng, and even brought it, which made him disdainful of Fugui Restaurant.
For this reason, Wang Weiyuan and Li Fugui also quarreled with the Cui family, and the whole Lin'an knew about it.
This farce was not until Pu Jiaxin came out to clarify in the end, showing that Ye Heng and the Pu family actually had nothing to do with each other, and it finally ended!
After the turmoil subsided, Wang Weiyuan, Li Fugui and Da Da Li got together to discuss, Da Da Li didn't believe it, and asked, "How could the young master fall off the list?" ”
"Who knows?"
Wang Weiyuan shook his head, and then said, "I originally thought it would ...... Alas, it seems that this time the young master should not be allowed to participate in the township test, and the young master is still in a hurry! ”
"Why don't we write a letter and ask?" Li Fugui said with a smile: "Anyway, I think it doesn't matter if the young master is not admitted, anyway, there is this restaurant, are you still afraid of starvation?" ”
Li Fugui said this, of course, he has a reason.
Since Pu Louyuan and Pu Jiaxin knew Pu Jiajing's intentions, and Ye Heng helped Pu Jiajing a little, the father and daughter may be guilty, so they not only gave all the business of Fugui Liquor in Lin'an to Fugui Restaurant in accordance with Ye Heng's conditions before, but also promised to give Fugui Restaurant some dividends every year, and even Pu Jiaxin asked Li Fugui to go to Pu's house, saying that he planned to help Li Fugui make Fugui Restaurant.
Of course, Li Fugui didn't dare to call the shots for such a big matter, and after expressing his refusal to Pu Jiaxin in embarrassment, Li Fugui went back.
At this time, Pu Jiaxin wondered again, how could this Ye Heng let so many people be so wholehearted to him?
After a few days of understanding, Pu Jiaxin also knew about Ye Heng and some people around him, in addition to Li Fugui, there were also Wang Weiyuan and Da Dali and others, these people were the same, and they were desperate for Ye Heng, especially Wang Weiyuan, Pu Jiaxin knew that this guy had some talent in management, and he had let his subordinates contact him before, but even if the Pu family put forward good conditions, Wang Weiyuan was not moved at all!
If Pu Jiaxin knew what kind of blueprint Ye Heng had planned for Wang Weiyuan, then Pu Jiaxin would definitely not be wondering!
Of course...... The matter of the papermaking workshop, with the help of Chen Yaozuo, was also prepared in full swing according to Ye Heng's intentions. Chen Yaozuo meant that he hoped that Ye Heng would hand over the technology and then let him operate it, but Ye Heng felt that he couldn't rush for quick success, so he thought that the papermaking technology was not perfect enough, and hoped to wait for the first batch of paper to come out and see the quality.
Therefore, Chen Yaozuo had no choice but to follow Ye Heng's wishes, but secretly Chen Yaozuo was already making preparations.
As long as he has free time during this time, he looks for good places everywhere and prepares them to be used in the paper workshop in the future, which he means is that he intends to prepare both hands in advance.
Chen Yaozuo is Chen Yaozuo, worthy of being the prime minister later, not only has such a vision in the paper workshop, but he also has everything in control of Ye Heng's affairs.
For example, this time the turmoil between Hangzhou and Lin'an was originally the result of his arrangement, and Ye Heng, who was far away in Changzhou, also found Chen Yuqing according to his instructions.
Then Ye Heng understood what this old man meant by asking him to come to Chen Yuqing!
When they met, they were in Chen Yuqing's mansion, and Ye Heng's identity when he came to visit was also entrusted by Chen Yuqing's old man to come to greet him as an excuse.
This arrangement made Ye Heng a little confused, but Ye Heng didn't think about it so much, and after two days in Changzhou, Ye Heng also knew what kind of person Chen Yuqing, the prefect of Changzhou, was.
In his thirties, he looks like he is less than forty years old, and I heard that he is a good official. There were many good officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, why? In fact, it has to do with the social climate at the time.
This is an era that belongs to the literati, the literati pay attention to self-cultivation, and the scholars pay attention to the style and bones, and together they become angry youths, so people in this era pay attention to their reputation in the mouths of others, and they are naturally cautious when they become officials.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no traitors and dumb officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, of course there are such people, and there are many of them, but Ye Heng hasn't encountered them yet!
As soon as he saw Chen Yuqing, the middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old smiled, looked at Ye Heng, and then said, "You're finally here!" ”
"Uh......"
Ye Heng saluted and said, "Student Ye Heng, meet the adults!" ”
"Huh...... Ye Heng, Ye Zhizhi ......"
Chen Yuqing said: "At the beginning, Chen Lao wrote a letter describing your deeds, but later asked to transfer your student status to Jiangning, do you know what I, the governor of Changzhou, think?" ”
"This ...... Students don't know! ”
Ye Heng sweated, how could it seem that this Chen Yuqing had already known everything about himself?
Chen Yuqing touched his beard and said: "This official knows Changzhou, you have also seen it in this area, the wind and waves are calm, there has been no talent like you for many years, but Chen Lao does not let you take the exam in Changzhou, isn't this embarrassing for the official?" Hehe...... But then I thought about it, it made a lot of sense for Chen Lao to do this! Do you know what Chen Lao means? ”
"I don't know ......"
Ye Heng shook his head, he was not Chen Yaozuo, how did he know what Chen Yao meant?
"It's right if you don't know!" Chen Yuqing said: "You are only fourteen years old, and you don't know much about this officialdom!" The career is bumpy, especially in our Great Song Dynasty, since the first emperor, there have been too many talents, not to mention, just say that in the second year of Tiansheng, Anzhou produced a Song itch with three yuan, which was famous! And now the Song itch brothers are also on the rise, why? Of course, it is undeniable that the Song brothers are talented, but it cannot be denied that the good name of the Song Dynasty has also added a lot of fame to their brothers in the government and the opposition......"
Speaking of this, Ye Heng seemed to understand a little, so he asked: "What do you mean, my lord, this time Elder Chen asked the students to go to Jiangning to take the exam, just to make a splash?" ”
"It's not all!"
Chen Yuqing also said: "You know very little about officialdom! All in all, this time Elder Chen expects a lot from you, and ...... Jiangning, as a companion capital, has always been a source of talents, if you can stand out in the Jiangning Township Test, the persuasiveness is much stronger than in Changzhou. Hehe...... Without further ado, do you know who is the chief examiner of the Jiangning Township test this time? ”
Here comes the topic, now Ye Heng finally knows why Chen Yaozuo wants him to stay in Changzhou to find Chen Yuqing, and his feelings are ...... Chen Yaozuo wanted to borrow Chen Yuqing's mouth to let him know a lot of news about this Jiangning Township test!
