Chapter 59: The Fengguo people of the Ministry of Industry
The next day, Yu Xianggu's carriage stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion early, waiting for Ye Fu to come out.
After not seeing anyone for a long time, Yu Xianggu paused, and finally got out of the carriage and approached the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fu Di, who happened to meet him, smiled: "Are you still used to it here?" ”
"Sir!" Fu Di looked up and saw Yu Xianggu, who was clear and thin, and knelt down and saluted with some excitement, "Everything is fine with the villain." ”
"Well, what about the prime minister?"
"Still in the room, the stunned guards are persuading ......"
When Yu Xianggu heard this, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a soft laugh, and he directly swept over Fudi, and walked towards Ye Fu's bedroom, and saw a helpless look of surprise outside the door.
Shocked knocked on the door outside, and called Ye Fu softly: "Xiangye, Yufu Yin is here......"
Yu Xianggu walked over and signaled that the stunned sting didn't need to knock: "There is a knock on the door, but she can't sleep well, and the more she doesn't want to get up." ”
The sting was also helpless, and he was afraid of snubbing Jing Zhaoyin.
"Let's go, sit down in the hall."
Yu Xianggu was at home, let people make himself a pot of tea, and watched the sun gradually fill up, and the world was white.
"The morning of Yuguo is quite cold, and it is really difficult for her to be in the morning or something."
The first time I heard someone speak for Ye Fu, in this kind of helpless thing.
"Alas, let Yu Fu Yin see a smile."
"No problem."
About half an hour, Ye Fu finished washing, rubbed his sleepy eyes and came over: "Ah, Yu Xianggu, you came so early?" ”
"yes, disturb your good dreams."
"Hehe, no, no, I secretly made up for it."
With that, Surprise had prepared breakfast, and the two walked to the dining room.
"Have you eaten?"
"Well, I did."
Ye Fu smiled, ate without scruples, and was silent for a while.
After the meal, Ye Fu wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
On the way, Ye Fu shrank in the carriage.
Seeing this, Yu Xianggu smiled faintly and asked, "The prime minister is very cold?" ”
"Sort of."
"Why don't you wear more?"
"It's the most obscene piece of equipment I've ever had." Ye Fu looked helpless, pulled the official robe, and showed the cotton clothes and pants inside, "I won't tell you, I wore two sets." This handsome prime minister's suit was stuffed into a round round by me. ”
"The winter in Yu is really cold. Especially these days, counting nine cold winters. It would be nice to see the snow in a few days. ”
"Yu's going to snow?"
"Hmm."
"That's good."
Ye Fu showed his face, hugged his arms to keep warm, and when he arrived at the entrance of the engineering department, a few people came out.
"See Prime Minister, I've seen Yu Fuyin."
They are all acquaintances in the officialdom, and they are not restrained after seeing the ceremony, so they go in with him.
Ye Fu and Yu Xianggu have nothing ambiguous about political affairs.
Shangshu Feng Shichuan of the Ministry of Industry, a small and short official, with two mustaches, and a non-standard Yuguo dialect, Ye Fu choked a smile.
"Feng Shangshu, not a local?"
"Ahem!" Feng Shichuan rode on the somewhat big official robe and arched his hand, "The lower official is from Fengguo." ”
"Huh?"
Ye Fu's small voice caused Feng Shichuan to stammer in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Yu Xiang, my Feng country is sparsely populated, and there is nothing fun to ......."
"The radius of Feng Country is only 200 miles, and it is the size of a county in Yu Kingdom, and the annual income of the treasury is not enough to cover Yu Xiang's family property......"
"I ......" Ye Fu said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious......"
"Ahh Aftermath! Fengguo really doesn't have any treasures, the folk customs are so simple that they can't do it, there is really nothing worth seeing! ”
Yu Xianggu pulled the corner of Ye Fu's clothes and said softly, "Feng Shangshu is afraid that you Yu Xiang will destroy Feng Guo with a wave of his hand." ”
"Is this so ferocious?"
"The neighbor of Fengguo, Xu Guo, left the country, and it was Yu Xiang's words, and now it has become the county seat of Yuguo."
"Ahem!"
Ye Fu thought about the small affiliated countries in the south, it seemed that there was such a thing.
"Yu Xiang......" Feng Shichuan was cautious, still looking at Ye Fu's face.
"Okay, Feng Shangshu, I have no interest in your Feng Kingdom, so don't panic."
While inspecting, several people chatted and chatted.
"I'm a little curious, Feng Shangshu, as a native of Feng State, how did he come to Yu Country to serve as an official."
"Xia Guan admires the cultural system of Yuguo, as well as water conservancy skills, and he came to learn."
"Oh."
Yu Xianggu smiled, and his warm and elegant voice comforted Feng Shichuan, and also popularized science for Ye Fu: "Yu Xianggu should know, the political system of Fengguo is quite distinctive. ”
"How?"
"Politics in the name of birds. His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor is named Feng Yu and lives in the center of Feng Kingdom. There are four tribes at the bottom, which are blue, red, white, and black. The people of the royal family hold the astronomical calendar, with the phoenix bird as the official name, and the Xuanniao is in charge of the spring and autumn equinoxes; Bo Zhao, in charge of the summer and winter solstice; Blue Bird, in charge of spring and summer; Dan Bird, in charge of the autumn and winter...... Isn't it amazing that national events, including the Workers' and Peasants' Law, are all named after birds? ”
"Hmm."
Feng Shichuan came out and clarified: "Yufu Yin praised it. It is good that there is such an ancient system in the country, but one is stubborn and old-fashioned, which has led to the unclear division of labor in many ministries, and many political affairs are deserted and unmanaged, which is why there is the current appearance of poverty and weakness. ”
"I don't know if you are poor or weak, but culturally, you are in the same vein as the Qi country, and the Jinyun clan is one of the best. The Jinyun Meeting, a literary event held every year by Yuguo, was also learned from Fengguo. ”
"Don't dare to be." Feng Shichuan smiled modestly.
"Yu Fuyin is quite reasonable, Feng Shangshu, don't be modest. Your Ministry of Engineering is also well organized, and you can't find anything wrong with your appearance. It seems that you are quite capable and measured in doing things under King Jingyang. ”
To be able to let a foreigner achieve the position of the six Shangshu, Junzi Yun's courage is not insignificant.
"In the past few years, King Prospect Yang has made an expedition to the southwest barbarians and saved many people from the Feng Kingdom who were oppressed. Xia Guan also accompanied him to Yu Kingdom. It was King Jingyang who wrote a letter of recommendation for me to participate in the imperial examination and get a half-official position. Later, he got in touch with our emperor and studied here as a native of Fengguo. ”
"Yo, King Jingyang is very good to you!"
"yes." Feng Shichuan said with adoration in his eyes.
Come on, another die-hard fan.
After the inspection, it was time for lunch.
Listening to the stunned words, Ye Fu thought that there would be a big meal, and then sat on the dining table with his eyes open, waiting for Feng Shichuan's hospitality.
Then, several plates of pickled radishes with greens appeared in front of you.
"Hmmm......"
Ye Fu is hard to say.
But Feng Shichuan on the other side still had a bitter face as if he had been eaten poor: "That's all there is to the family of the lower officials, Prime Minister Han and Yu Fuyin." ”
As he spoke, he added a large bowl of white rice and ate it with pickles.
Ye Fu likes green health and is also in favor of vegetarianism, but this kind of pickle grievances, she can't stand it!
"Feng Shang Shulu is too little, or is the Ministry of Industry out of money?"
"No, it's not." Feng Shichuan looked innocent, "Usually only one dish is enough for the lower officials, but today is already very rich!" Don't you like it? The pickles of Yuguo are really delicious, and I can't say it! ”
"Uh-huh." Ye Fu nodded and hastily solved lunch.
When he went out and got into the sedan chair, he wailed at Yu Xianggu: "Ahhhh I can eat a cow now! The pickle appetizer lives up to its name! ”
Yu Xianggu smiled lightly: "If you go to the military department in the afternoon, Jin Shangshu should be more generous, after all, people who are stupid and have a lot of money are located there." ”
"Personality?" Ye Fu pondered this word and glanced at the antique, warm and elegant Yu Xianggu.
Did she hear something wrong, or did Yu Xianggu talk nonsense?
Such a modern term......
Ye Fu looked at the smiling Yu Xianggu and decided not to move.
I've been suspicious for so long, there's no reason why I can't help but say it now.
"What kind of character is Jin Xu?"
"One of the four sons of the capital, the family has been an official for generations, and Taixue was funded by the four major families."
"Yo yo yo, it's amazing!"
