In the cabinet, Mao Ji took sick leave, and the mountains of recitals were now delivered to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian is an honest man, if it were other ministers, most of them would have complained a long time ago, but instead of complaining, he buried his head and quickly drafted, for some urgent notes, he quickly gave instructions, and some uncertain, but he did not dare to be proficient, but wrote down his opinions and put them aside, and asked someone to send them to Yang Tinghe's bookcase, and asked him to make a decision at that time.

Jiang Laomo worked hard, no complaints, no regrets, stayed up until noon, at noon, the ministers on duty had to eat refreshments, during the duty, the meal was not eaten, but the habit of eating tea was wind and rain, even when Yingzong, the Tile Thorn people went south, this rule has not been broken.

The so-called eating tea, in fact, is to use pastries and eat tea, eating pastries is to fill the stomach, eating tea is to nourish the spirit, only in this way can you be energetic and nourishing the spirit.

Jiang Mian casually ate something in the ear room, and then remembered Ming Pao, he did have the habit of reading newspapers, newspapers were all delivered by fast horses in Hangzhou, although they were all expired newspapers, but Jiang Lao was still happy to do it.

At this time, someone came in with a probe and whispered: "Your Excellency......"

Jiang Mian put down the newspaper, looked up at the visitor, and immediately showed an approachable smile on his face and said, "Is it successful?" Come in and talk. ”

This young scribe who has a successful character is recommended by Jiang Mian, and he is a fellow villager of Jiang Mian, he has been promoted, and plans to try his luck in the spring of next year, he has nothing to do in Beijing, and Jiang Mian pities him for learning, so he recommends him. This person's surname is Wang, and his single name is a heavy word, Wang Chong came in with a smile and said, "The matter ordered by the Lord has been done, and several letters from Guangxi and Liaodong have been placed in Lord Yang's room, and. There is a letter from the Jiangxi governor Yamen, saying that it is a drought in Jiangxi this year, and the letter requesting the imperial court to reduce the tax is sent to the Department of General Administration, asking the palace to do its best. ”

Jiang Mian smiled, brushed his beard and said: "Hard work, hard work, the scribe in this pavilion, you are the most attentive in your work, and it is good if the matter is done." ”

Wang hurriedly said: "Adults are not hard. How dare students call themselves hard? Yes, have you heard some rumors in this palace? The students also listened to the news from the Secretary for Political Affairs. ”

"Rumors? What rumors? Jiang Mian took a sip of tea for a long time, obviously not caring about the affairs of the outside world.

Wang Chong looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Empress Dowager Zhang said a lot of things that were dissatisfied with Lord Yang. You're not welcome? ”

"Oh?" Jiang Mian's face became solemn, and he said, "What did you say?" ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly told the news he had inquired about one by one, and finally said: "That Lord Mao suddenly said that he was sick and left the palace, and he wanted to do this because of this, and now that Lord Mao has probably gone to Lord Yang's mansion." My lord, the student said something heart-wrenching, Master Mao is going to ask for merit and reward. That is, adults are too honest and don't listen to things outside the window, otherwise why would they be bullied like this by this Mao at this time? Oh, he's going to sell it to Lord Yang. But the adults are here to do things for him, what is the reason? ”

Jiang Mian said coldly: "Yes, be cautious!" ”

Wang Chong's tongue was sharpened, and he glanced left and right again. Make sure that there is no one outside, so keep the sound to a minimum. Said: "According to the students, there seems to be a lot of prejudice against Lord Yang in the palace, and this Lord Yang still doesn't know, and if he repeatedly contradicts the palace, sooner or later...... My lord, this is a godsend, speaking of which, your qualifications are much thicker than that of Mao Ji, if you are Lord Yang...... Aren't you? ”

Jiang Mian's face was getting more and more gloomy, and then he sneered: "Wang Chong, you are so bold, is Lord Yang up to me?" He has gone through three dynasties, and his knowledge and virtue are far above Jiang, what do you know to dare to say such a thing? As for Mr. Mao, he is also a virtuous person, what are your intentions for repeatedly and maliciously speculating about him? This official sees that you are a famous person after all, and you are a fellow villager, I don't care about your words today for the time being, but next time, don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless, go down! ”

His words frightened Wang Zhong into a cold sweat, and he glanced at Jiang Mian cautiously, looking like he still wanted to explain.

Jiang Mian reprimanded angrily: "What else do you want to say? Aren't you talking enough nonsense today? Get lost! ”

Wang Chong no longer dared to stay, and hurriedly said goodbye.

Jiang Mian, who was in the ear room, his face changed, and then he smiled slightly, but this smile was a little cold, and he muttered to himself: "It's really getting more and more interesting, it seems that this time, some people are really messing up, and even this Wang Chong has also used it, do you really think that Wang Chong's younger brother bought land in the township a few months ago, don't you know?" So much money can he afford with a small lifter? ”

He sneered, as if he was laughing at the fact that the person behind him was immeasurable, and then his face became cautious again, and he hesitated, but he couldn't help shaking his head, and whispered to himself: "No, no, with Yang Tinghe's means, it is not enough to practice like this, and buying a villain like Wang Zhong makes this means Mao Ji, Mao Ji, Mao Ji, why are you suffering, you want to be a praying mantis, but the old man is not a cicada, who is a sparrow, I can't tell you at the moment." ”

He smiled slightly, picked up the newspaper on the table, his eyes wandered, and his face was restored again, his eyebrows condensed, and he looked at it carefully.

After a while, a scribe poured a new tea for him, this scribe is usually inconspicuous, and the relationship with Jiang Mian has always been estranged, he tiptoed to pour tea, suddenly lowered his voice, but his hands and feet kept cleaning up the pastries on the table, and whispered: "My lord, there was a eunuch looking for the king to say a few words." There is another thing, a few bachelors and editors on duty in the Hanlin Academy seem to be asking around about something, and a letter came from Guangxi early this morning, saying that someone was inquiring about the old lady's body in his hometown. ”

Jiang Mian's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and said: "It seems that some people regard the old man as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they will not give up if they don't pull it out." ”

The inconspicuous scribe was silent for a moment, and then said, "Do you want to ...... your lordship?"

Jiang Mian smiled coldly, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do anything, just wait to see the show, the show is still to come." ”

He smiled slightly, picked up the new tea he had just replaced, and continued slowly: "The Road Administration Bureau should pay more attention to it, things will not be so simple, at the moment they seem to be inconspicuous, but sooner or later there will be a mess, as for the rest, don't care about anything, don't ask." ”

The scribe said wittily: "Then the student will retire." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The road administration bureau has become a fashion, with the amulet of the certificate of commendation, the merchants do not know how much convenience, and people have, you don't have it but it can't be, so most of the merchants near Gyeonggi have come to snap up, that is, Shanxi, Shandong, Xuanfu businessmen are also moved by the wind, and now the road administration bureau is near the businessmen gathered, because it may not be possible to buy it for a while, so many businessmen from afar have to temporarily rest in the vicinity, Xu Qian fancy the business opportunity, so he called Xu Fu.

Xu Fu is very busy these days, because Xu Qian likes to be lazy too much, and most of the readers are very good-mouthed, and they will stop eating as soon as they encounter something, but fortunately, Xu Fu is still hard-working, and there is no way to take this Xu Qian, and many things naturally fall on his head.

"Cousin......" Xu Qian looked at him with a smile and said: "Now more than half a month has passed, counting it, my father is almost coming back, but I don't know how many people he can bring back this time, hey, when he went, he said that if he could recruit dozens of clerks, it would be enough to recruit hundreds of wrestlers, and he only applied for so many vacancies on the side of the Beizhen Mansion, but now it seems that these people are still insufficient, you look outside, hundreds of thousands of businessmen are looking at the road political situation, and they are busy every day, That's not enough. ”

Xu Qian was talking nonsense, but Xu Fu had already recognized Xu Qian's essence, this guy was too lazy, sometimes he was hopelessly lazy, and it was impossible for him to come and gossip with himself if he had nothing to do, he smiled bitterly and said, "Childe, you have something to say." ”

Xu Qian glared at him and said, "Why don't you talk about it at all?" After all, we are cousins, can't we be together and have a family? Well, since you won't make small talk with me, then I'll get down to business. ”

This guy hit a rake, which made Xu Fugan glare, only to hear Xu Qian continue: "I'm thinking, so many of us in the Xu family earn money for others every day, but our own family is pitiful and eating that little bit of money, when is this a head?" Now we are a little bit powerful, and we have indeed gained a firm foothold, but who doesn't want to live in a big house, there is a sedan chair to pick up and drop off when you go out, and there are a few beautiful maids waiting for you? But it's difficult, it's difficult everywhere if I don't have money in my hands, so I wondered, let's take the opportunity to do some small business, but I'm a scholar, a scholar is in business, after all, I want to be poked in the backbone, and my father, now he has worshiped hundreds of households, and he really can't pull away, Xu Han, Xu Yong, Xu Lu, I said something unpleasant, let them do things, but let them do some business, they can't do it, think about it, only Cousin Xu Fu is the most suitable, the errand here is that anyone can do it, but take care of business, But it has to be Xu Fu's cousin. Cousin Xu Fu, why don't you quit ......"

Xu Fu hesitated: "Do business, what business?" ”
