Chapter 616: Hard-Won Talents
In this era, business is a low-class profession.
People don't seem to do this kind of thing as long as they have a glimmer of life, even if they really have money, and their lives are very good, but going out will make people look down on them.
Especially those sour scholars, as well as these court officials.
Therefore, when the ministers first heard the name of Mr. Bai, they solemnly respected, and when they heard that the person recommended was a businessman, they immediately closed their mouths again.
They didn't acquiesce, they resisted in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it, if they said it, Ling Tiancheng would let them find someone again, or directly pull them out to top this tank, it would be a bad dish.
This is a typical person who can't do it himself and beeps around.
However, this reaction couldn't be better for Ling Tiancheng.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he said unhurriedly: "What is the situation in Fengning County, Zhongqing knows very well, even the common people there have run out, and now I want to send you out, you will think that I am distributing you, no one is available, and you can only find people from outside." ”
He paused, his gaze passed over everyone again, and then said: "This Miao Xian has no other abilities, no Shi Fangbin's skills, and no Jia Mingyuan's official rank, he is just more familiar with that generation."
But now Fengning County lacks such a person, because even the local county government is unwilling to go into the countryside, so many things cannot be carried out at all.
I sent him over and made him the second rank of the imperial envoy, and I did this kind of work, do you have any opinions? ”
Ministers: "......"
In fact, they may still be concerned about how much money this Miao Xian will take at this time.
But this kind of thing is not easy to say, and looking at Ling Tiancheng's appearance, whoever dares to ask such a thing, maybe he can shoot the cannon at someone's head.
So there was a very tacit understanding, everyone was silent, listened to his order, and passed on the appointment certificate.
Coming out of the Zichen Palace, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask everywhere what the origin of this Miao Xian was.
Strictly speaking, Miao Xian's recommender is not Mr. Bai, but Zhuang Siyan.
Miao Xian is doing a small business in the capital, and his years are not good, so his business is naturally not much better, but he is smart and diligent, and he is very enthusiastic, and he knows a lot of people.
Among these people, one of these people is called Xiang Ziyang.
Xiang Ziyang, everyone should still remember that he was outside the Guan Ye Temple before, and he was fascinated by Hu Yun, and then chased him to the detective agency, wanting to further contact her.
But Hu Yun is dedicated to doing her own thing, and there are many people like Xiang Ziyang in the detective agency, who usually go there for a walk when they have nothing to do, in a vain attempt to attract the attention of beauties.
After a long time, the beauties didn't pay attention to them, but the Ouchi guards in the detective agency noticed them.
Usually they just go to see it, and whoever dares to find trouble, they will definitely teach them a hard lesson, so that they know who they are messing with.
Xiang Ziyang has gone a lot of times, although he has not been beaten, but every time he goes, he doesn't do anything serious, and his heart is still empty.
In their circle, the news slowly spread.
Once, several brothers met to drink together, and there was Miao Xian during the banquet, and when it came to chasing Hu Yun, everyone laughed and ridiculed it.
Xiang Ziyang is not uncomfortable, let people say it.
But later, Miao Xian looked for him alone and asked, "Do you really like other girls?" ”
Xiang Ziyang's eyes widened: "This is natural, buddy has been in the capital for so many years, and he has experienced a lot of winds and waves, have you ever seen me insist on a girl for more than three months." ”
This Xiang Ziyang really doesn't know, the main thing is that he doesn't care much about other people's private lives.
But since everyone is friends, he is still willing to help Xiang Ziyang.
So he came up with an idea in one way or another, which probably means that through this method, it is possible to ask Hu Yun out alone, learn about her situation, and let her understand the situation all of a sudden, so that the two sides have a chance to get along, so that they can consider whether they like each other, but they can't develop in the past.
The idea is good, Xiang Ziyang followed his method, and sure enough, he succeeded in making an appointment with Hu Yun.
Fortunately, he also left a good impression on Hu Yun, although he had no intention of marrying him, but he could treat him as a friend.
Xiang Ziyang wanted to fly happily, and he was also very grateful to Miao Xian in his heart, always thinking about how to repay the great kindness of others.
The whole capital knows about Qingming Academy's recruitment of teachers and students, but there is nothing Miao Xian can do.
But as soon as the incident in Fengning County came out, Xiang Ziyang's mind was still relatively alive, and he immediately thought of Miao Xian, because he knew that Miao Xian's hometown was there.
He asked Hu Yun about this.
Hu Yun sent another message to Zhuang Siyan.
Zhuang Siyan was busy arranging Li Hua's affairs at that time, and she didn't have time to leave the palace, but she didn't want to let the talent go, so she instructed him to go to Qingming Academy to find Mr. Bai.
What exactly did the two of them talk about, and how did Mr. Bai recommend it to Ling Tiancheng, Zhuang Siyan didn't even ask later.
Anyway, this person, whom she had never even met, finally set off with Ling Tiancheng's hope and the hope of the people of Fengning County after many relationships.
A month later, good news came from Fengning County.
Not only did it rain there, but the people also returned to their hometowns and began to rush to plant summer grain.
Shi Fangbin's work continued, repairing canals, digging deep wells, and planting many trees, in this way, to retain the water source as much as possible.
Jia Mingyuan used to give relief grain two hundred miles away, but now he has also moved more than a hundred miles to Fengning County, and he is already very close to Shi Fangbin and them.
Usually, if they are free, the three of them can still get together and want to have a drink.
When this matter was reported back to Beijing, it was naturally good news.
As soon as Ling Tiancheng came back from the court, he was busy going to Zhuang Siyan to say, when he arrived at Lingshuang Pavilion, he heard from the palace maids that she took Li Hua to the Imperial Garden.
He was glad in his heart, and walked there.
In the imperial garden, because Zhuang Siyan's hands were soft for a while, he did not dismantle it, and now it is luxuriant, lush, and all kinds of flowers are blooming all over the garden, and people have not smelled a strong sweet fragrance before they arrive.
Ling Tiancheng walked inside alone, not letting the eunuchs and palace maids follow, firstly, because he wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone, and secondly, he didn't want to disturb Zhuang Siyan and them.
I didn't want to be outside a gazebo, but I accidentally heard the conversation between two women.
What surprised Ling Tiancheng was that Li Hua was actually comforting Zhuang Siyan: "You don't have to worry, even if you really go to Beijie to fight, the general has a great chance of victory." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you, he's too busy now, he only enters the palace once or twice a month, he looks at you in a hurry and leaves, listen to the emperor's meaning, when the child is born, he should also go to the northern Xinjiang, and you ...... then."
Li Hua said: "It's okay, when you have a little prince at that time, isn't the emperor not by your side?" ”
The two suddenly had a lot of sympathy for each other.
After a while, Zhuang Siyan spoke again: "Did you say that Qiu Gang's brain is broken, but he has a good life, he has to pick something and make himself uneasy." ”
Li Hua didn't answer her words, probably didn't know much about military affairs and the affairs of the court, or didn't want to say much.
But when Zhuang Siyan talked about Ye Yuanpei, she could say two words.
I could hear the worry in the words, but I wasn't terrified.
This woman somehow, over the years, slowly grew into a particularly attractive personality.
Be safe and calm.
In the past, she had a stubborn temper, and she swore not to give up until she chased Ye Yuanpei, and she also used various means.
Now that she has turned people into her husband, it seems that she has fulfilled her life's ambition all at once, and no matter how big the waves are, they are insignificant to her.
However, Ling Tiancheng was more curious, why Zhuang Siyan would pull her to such a question.
Generally speaking, some things are only a little sad, and if others say it or ask it repeatedly, the sadness will increase.
At this time, didn't she have to find a way to comfort Li Hua and persuade her to think less about it?
At that time, Ling Tiancheng didn't interrupt them, and quietly went back.
But soon sent someone to pass on Zhuang Siyan and asked her to go to the Xuan Palace.
At that time, Zhuang Siyan happened to be tired of sitting with Li Hua in the imperial garden, got up to go back, and received his message, so he sent Li Hua back alone, and she went to the Xuan Hall by herself.
Since Li Hua lived in the palace, Zhuang Siyan spent a lot of time with her, and the remaining little time was spent with Ling Tiantian, although she was in the same palace as Ling Tiancheng, strictly speaking, the two did not see each other a few times a month.
This will see him, and be surprised: "Hey, look at your face is good, it seems that you have gained weight, what's wrong, what happy events have you encountered recently." ”
Ling Tiancheng: "......"
He couldn't bear to listen to what he said, so he first pulled the person forward, looked at her face carefully, and then said, "You are a lot thinner." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "I'm losing weight, seeing that summer is not coming, I'm going to wear thin clothes, I'm afraid I can't even wear clothes, how ugly." ”
Ling Tiancheng gently scraped her face: "What kind of meat, it's always thin, it makes people feel distressed, I want to make you fatter, but you still lose weight." ”
It is really difficult to explain the standards for obesity for men and women, and Zhuang Siyan didn't plan to break with him at this time, so he directly changed the topic: "What is the emperor looking for me?" ”
Ling Tiancheng told Miao Xian about it first.
Zhuang Siyan was happier than him: "It's really a talent, Hu Yun has made a great contribution, I want to get to know this Xiang Ziyang now, see who are the people in his circle, and if there are any people who can be used by us?" ”
Ling Tiancheng: "......"
His Yan'er thoughts are too jumpy, and he can't keep up.
However, after Zhuang Siyan finished speaking, he still took care of his emotions very much, and took the initiative to ask: "In addition to this, do you have anything else?" I heard that you went to the Imperial Garden early in the morning, and Li Hua and I were there, but I didn't see you, so what are you going to do there? ”
"Looking for you."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Ling Tiancheng: "Originally, I went there to tell you about Miao Xian......
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Siyan laughed "haha": "That's it, then it's finished now?" Nothing else, I'll go back first, I told Li Hua that I'll make something for her at noon. ”
