Therefore, local officials know that among the six departments in the capital, the most important ones that cannot be offended are the officials and households. It's about their future.

Fortunately, the appointment of officials is not something that Wu Huaisi can decide alone, and the emperor will often take out the appointment plan of officials to discuss with cabinet ministers. And among the cabinet ministers, there are people who have the crown prince and will help him speak, so even if Wu Huaisi is a secretary, it is not so easy to get him.

However, the household department does not need to go through the emperor and other ministers to check the accounts. Anyway, every year the accounts of each place will be handed in. As long as the officials of the household department said that they would randomly check Nanyang's accounts, Nanyang's accounts would have to be handed over in a lot. At that time, the household department said that there was a problem with his account, and he submitted it to the emperor, and Wu Huaisi made some efforts, then he would be a tragedy.

Cai Yaozong was sad for a while, feeling that he couldn't escape Zhao Ruxi's clutches.

Where is this little girl in front of you? It's clearly a man-eating monster.

His heart was like ashes, and he said expressionlessly: "In this case, then Lord Zhao will read the file while taking over the affairs." It is only spring now, and the seedlings have been planted, and the day of harvest is still far away. There are not many affairs here, and the others should not be busy, just follow the routine, and the adults have time to read the files and accounts of various affairs. ”

Zhao Ruxi was overjoyed, and stood up again and made a gesture to Cai Yaozong: "Thank you Lord Cai for your success." ”

Cai Yaozong stood up and returned the salute, a stiff smile appeared on his face: "Lord Zhao is polite." ”

He really didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he didn't sit down again, and said, "Lord Zhao has a distinguished guest to entertain, so we won't bother much." Lord Zhao of the Yamen does not need to rush back, Lord Liu is not an unreasonable person, Lord Zhao will accompany Mr. Deadwood at home for two more days, and it is not too late to go to the Yamen on the date of taking office stipulated by the imperial court. ”

Zhao Ruxi originally said that he wanted to go to the government, but Cai Yaozong hadn't done it yet, and he was worried that if the files and accounts were put for one more day, he would be a moth.

At this time, Cai Yaozong raised the white flag, so she naturally didn't force herself, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Cai." In this case, then I will be lazy for two days, and then go to the yamen in two days. ”

Chen Kang stood up and said with a smile: "If Lord Zhao has any questions when he looks at the files and accounts, you can ask the villain to ask." The villain has been in the yamen for twenty or thirty years, has stayed in all rooms, and is a native of Nanyang, so he knows the local affairs very well. If Lord Zhao needs to, he can send someone to call the villain at any time, and there is no need to see outside. ”

"Okay, when the time comes, you won't have to bother Chen Jingcheng." Zhao Ruxi also smiled, looking very good at talking.

After sending the two away, Zhao Ruxi returned to the hall and told everyone about the matter.

Kang Shilin was very pleased and said, "Before you came, I and your senior brothers were always worried about you. Now I am relieved to see that you can take care of things. ”

Zhao Ruxi sighed: "To be an official, you have to be with all kinds of people. It's too hard to keep it from being dusty. Zhiwei is like this, I am afraid that I will live up to the expectations of the master, the master, and the senior brothers. ”

"I don't agree with Zhiwei's words." Gan Lun waved his hand and said, "You need to remember that this world is not black and white, and the gray area not only exists, but also has a large area. And too rigid and easy to break, many times, as long as you don't violate the principle, you still have to compromise, otherwise you won't go far at all. ”

Kang Shilin sighed: "What do you think I and your senior brothers are worried about? It's not that you're not capable of handling things, it's that you're too naïve about the world and can't tolerate sand in your eyes. If you take this world too seriously, you will only be the one who will be broken in the end. Now it's reassuring to see that you can handle problems the way you do, knowing that you need to take a step back when you need to. ”

Xiao Ruotong sat on the side, listening to everyone's words silently and silently.

In the past, she might refute the words of Gan Lun and Kang Shilin, and encourage Zhao Ruxi to have the courage to fight against corrupt officials. But now she is no longer the innocent woman she used to be.

is as noble as the emperor, as powerful as the emperor, and he compromises with his courtiers every day, so he needs to tolerate all kinds of careful thoughts of his courtiers, right?

At dinner that night, Zhao Ruxi took the rice wine sent by Chen Kang and gave it to Kang Shilin to drink, and secretly drank a few sips under Zhu's angry glare, and then she was disappointed.

She is a very curious person. Although she doesn't like to drink, she tastes the local specialty wine wherever she goes. In her previous life, she had been to Danyang and tasted Danyang's rice wine, which was indeed as Chen Kang said, fresh and sweet, fragrant, mellow and refreshing. And the rice wine she is holding now has a very poor taste.

She asked Zhou Wenbai, "Mr. Zhou, how do you feel about this wine?" ”

Kang Shilin was worried that his hands were shaking and he couldn't paint, and Gan Lun was worried that it would affect his thinking, so he didn't drink much usually.

Only Zhou Wenbai has to drink a few glasses at every meal. Kang Shilin's family has lost a lot of tribute wine by him. When it comes to wine, Zhou Wenbai has the most right to speak.

Zhou Wenbai said: "Acceptable." ”

Zhao Ruxi was surprised.

But thinking about the winemaking process at this time, she felt normal.

After dinner, several people returned to their yard to rest, Zhao Ruxi wrote a letter, called Yang Jie, and handed him the letter: "To the fifth master." He added, "It's not urgent, you don't have to work too hard." ”

"Yes, thank you for your kindness." Yang Jie took the letter, saluted and said goodbye, and returned to the capital on the same day.

At noon the next day, Zhao Ruxi received a reply from Xiao Lingyan.

Xiao Lingyan wrote in the letter that because the profit of wine is relatively high, he bought a winery in Jiangnan, and planned to use distillation technology to make high-grade wine to sell, but the wine needs time to cellar, and there are many new things launched in the past two years, so he plans to sell the wine next year.

Therefore, he has studied the ancient winemaking technology.

In the letter, he attached the brewing method of ordinary rice wine, and noted that it was the production process of tribute wine.

He squatted in the Ministry of Engineering, and it was very convenient to see what technology he wanted. If the Ministry of Industry does not have relevant files, he can still examine them in the name of the imperial court. In short, whatever technology you want, because of his identity, you can always get it.

Zhao Ruxi closed the letter, called Lu Yunlai, and asked her, "I asked you to check the news of the wine shop, how did you check it?" ”

Lu Yun and Yang Jie were checking all kinds of news in Nanyang two days ago, and they got started faster after receiving a new task.

She said: "Back to the girl, the most famous winery in Nanyang is Dong Ji Winery, which is handed down by the ancestors of the Dong family and is said to have a history of hundreds of years. Now dozens of people in the four generations of the Dong family rely on this wine shop to live. The old lady Dong who is in charge of the house is now sixty-five years old and is a shrewd and capable person. The Dong family attaches great importance to their wine-making skills, and they are all passed on to men but not women, and the core secret recipe is only passed on to the eldest grandson. ”
