Yongming was a little surprised when he saw that her eyes were red, and his expression gradually softened.

Since I met her, I have never seen her shed a single tear, even if she was frustrated by the concubine when she entered the palace, she still did not see her sad and shed tears. He always thought that she was a big grinning character, without worries and sorrows, but he didn't expect it......

It turns out that she will also cry sadly.

In fact, Wu Yan didn't expect that she would cry, and at that moment, she only felt very sad......

"Wu Yan, what's wrong?" Emperor Yongming lowered his voice and asked.

When the emperor asked this, Wu Yan felt a little embarrassed, she grabbed her sleeves, and wiped her face regardless of etiquette.

"Minister... It's nothing, it's just that my eyelashes accidentally fell into my eyes......"

Such a 'clumsy' lie, Emperor Yongming did not expose it, thought about it, and still said: "You have that side of the people in your heart, this is very good, and it is also their blessing to think about it." If you want to donate books to Liuhe's Confucianism, I promise you that I will give you a batch of rare books, and set Liuhe's red lotus rice as the royal tribute rice, what do you think? ”

Wu Yan still had tears on his eyes, so he burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, with these books, ordinary children can also have books to read." The minister thought that they would definitely remember Your Majesty's kindness, your kindness, and your emperor's grace for the rest of their lives, which is not only the blessing of the people of Liuhe, but also the blessing of the people of the world. ”

A smile flashed on Emperor Yongming's face, and he heard a lot of more beautiful words in the past, but they were not as good as today, which made people extremely comfortable.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the red lotus rice produced in Liuhe is very fond of eating, and now it can be set as the royal tribute rice, presumably this rice will be worth twice in the future, and the people will plant it, in addition to paying taxes in the future, the rest can be sold at a good price, which is simply a great joy for them."

"However......" Emperor Yongming still turned to Wu Yan's notebook: "As for the folk bookstore to engrave the royal collection, I can't agree to this." ”

"Oh," Wu Yan knew that this was the result, after all, reading and eating are the same, there are classes, and she will not be stupid enough to refute His Majesty's face in person.

At least the most important purpose was achieved.

"Go wash your face, come back and I have something to tell you, come, serve ......"

Wu Yan was led by the female official to retreat, refreshed and changed clothes, and cleaned up before returning to the emperor. Emperor Yongming saw that her expression had returned to normal, and then said:

"Lu Qing's family gave me a recommendation, saying that you can avoid sitting in the classroom to study, and start the calendar directly, and exchange the calendar for points and ......"

Wu Yan had already predicted this result, but when the emperor mentioned it himself, he still felt a little happy in his heart, and he could finally get rid of boring study.

She was still in tears just now, but at this time, a smile bloomed on her face, and Emperor Yongming felt a little funny: "Why, when you hear that you don't need to study, you are so happy?" ”

"Hehe, how can it?"

"Hmph, I can't help it!" After a pause, he continued: "However, the calendar is not easy, you need to accept an assessment once in half a year to a year, and the official of the yamen will give you comments, and only if you get the 'diligent and prudent' comments can you be qualified, and you will go through a few more yamen than others, and the comments obtained will be sent to the ministry for supplementary selection." ”

"Huh? There are a few more yamen...... This can't be three or five years? "Oh my God, did I just get out of something and something in?

"Excellent performance, there is no need to be so long as five years, of course, you have to go through the calendar, miscellaneous calendars, long differences, short differences, each time, the comments are 'diligent' to pass, and then continue to the next yamen's calendar."

Wu Yan's head is big when he hears it, this is not easy, it is simply the devil who is really **** to see that my life is too good?

Her face couldn't hide something, and Emperor Yongming knew what she was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "You belong to a special case, of course you have to be treated specially, if you don't like this, you can go back to studying." ”

Belch... No, I'm not going back! Wu Yan shook his head like a rattle. I don't have more choices to choose one of the two, and I'd rather choose the most difficult one than go back to China.

"Okay, since you should go down, go to the household department tomorrow to report, I have already explained to the Gu Qing family."

Wu Yan sighed secretly and replied: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

————

On the second day, Wu Yan didn't need to get up early, nor did he have to serve the emperor, so he could finally sleep in a bright and bright light.

I got up when I was full, and then I washed and changed, ate breakfast, and cleaned up before going out. Get on the carriage, go out of the alley to the south, pass the Shiwangfu to the East Chang'an Street in front of the Taiji Factory, and then turn west.

The Hubu Yamen is close to the Daming Gate, the carriage crosses the Yuhe North Bridge and continues to the south, passes through the Hanlin Courtyard, the Huitong South Pavilion to the Yuhe Middle Bridge, turns into the Dongjiang Rice Lane, goes to the intersection outside the red wall of the Ministry of Rites and the Thousand Steps Corridor, and then goes a little further to the Hubu Yamen.

The household department is a second-grade yamen, and the regulations are the same as those of other yamen of the same grade. Wu Yan got out of the car outside the gate, and stepped into the yamen without stopping, but no one stopped him, and walked all the way to the third hall where the hall was located.

It's actually quite a long road.

Gu Dehai knew that Wu Yan was coming today, so he waited deliberately, waiting to give her a 'big gift'.

Gu Dehai has mixed feelings about her, his eldest son works under her, I remember that some time ago, the unfilial son went home and accidentally learned that the salary he got in the horse yard was actually 30,000 taels a year, or cash! He was Lao Tzu's annual income, and he couldn't even get 3,000 taels if he counted his true colors.

The gap was so big that I was unbalanced at that time. No wonder that kid is often away from home, and he doesn't even go back when his sister gets married, and he only asks people to give gifts. He knew what kind of virtue his sister-in-law was, and in the past, under his nose, his father was pressed and covered, and he couldn't figure it out. Now that it was far away, the chick finally broke away from the nest and began to spread its wings and fly, but he was a little uncomfortable.

I miss the time when chickens flew and dogs jumped in the past, and I often chased him all over the yard with a whip, and when I caught him, I beat him hard, so much relief. Now if you want to beat him again, you have to be willing to come back with a face!

Hum! Stinky Boy...... Gu Dehai thought of Gu Jue again, your mother was about to cry and blind, but you were at ease! Why are you so selfish?

"My lord, Sizhen is outside, waiting to see you." The chief came in to report.

"Please let her in."

Wu Yan can often see Gu Dehai in the palace, and it is the first time that Hubu has a better impression of him than several other Shangshu.

She arranged the officials of the six ministries and nine qings in an order, according to her own feelings, it was good or bad. The worst is the Ministry of Rites, and the best is of course Guanglu Temple, and the Hubu Shangshu ranks third on the list of good.

Gu Jue and his Lao Tzu are quite different in temperament, Gu Jue has a good skin, full of playboy brother, Gu Shangshu is completely opposite to him, like an eye-popping old man, with a temper, but not the right person.

Wu Yan followed the guide into the hall and stepped into the east room, where Gu Dehai usually works and receives guests.

She is still wearing a scarf today, the wide robe covers the curves of women, she is not short, she is tall enough for ordinary men, and she looks like a beautiful son at a glance. It's just that he is carrying a 'strange' cloth bag, which looks abrupt and a little incompatible with the image of a handsome son.

The second time Gu Dehai saw her wearing a Lan shirt, the first time was in the Hongde Palace. His impression of her is not good, nor is it bad, and it is not easy to win the emperor's favor. As long as he is a really capable person, he doesn't care if it's a man or a woman, just do things well.

Wu Yanxian habitually glanced around, this is an ordinary yamen public house, without any 'artistic' atmosphere, and the furnishings that reflect the owner's preferences, the only feature is that there are many large cabinets, stacked with small mountains of documents and files.

Wu Yan bowed his hand and said: "Gu Shangshu, you are early, and Wu Yan is late to report." ”

"Hmm..."Gu Dehai snorted in his nose: "It's not early, Yan Sizhen, you were late for duty on the first day?" You don't know if you're coming to the Ministry today? ”

The early dynasty has long ended, and the yamen have already started a busy day.

Wu Yan replied with a smile: "Yesterday, Your Majesty gave an explanation to the late student, but the time was not specified, so the late student came over at the time he chose, and it was not considered late." ”

Gu Dehai had no intention of entanglement with her on these issues, so he was no longer embarrassed and quickly turned to the topic. He stretched out his hand and patted the old high ledger piled on the table, and said: "Since you are from the background, then you have to do things, I am not like other yamen here, there are many things in the household department, you have to do what you want." Don't want to be lazy, otherwise you will get inferior in the assessment, but don't blame the official for not giving you affection. ”

"Late life remembered, that... What did Gu Shangshu arrange for the late students to do? ”

"Well, let's learn to read the ledger first."

Wu Yan had already seen the stacks of books on his bookcase, and when she mentioned looking at the account book, she was a little big, and the official account book was not as clear and clear as her own account book, with both numbers and tables. The official four-column accounting method is used, which is full of columns of textual descriptions, without intuitive feelings, and people will go crazy after watching it for a long time.

She had also consulted two aunts before, both of whom came from the palace. Aunt Song used to be the secretary of the Shanggong Bureau, and Aunt Chen is also a retired female official, and they are both proficient in doing accounts. Whether it is the four-column settlement method or the four-column balance type, it is the same as the modern double-entry accounting principle, but the bookkeeping method is still too backward.

Wu Yan's heart was furious, and he asked, "Are you just watching?" ”

"Hehe..."Gu Dehai smiled: "You can't just look at it, after reading it, you have to summarize it for the official." ”

Hey, she sighed in her heart, she had to consult the two aunts again.

Holding a stack of account books, I went out of the Shangshu Mansion, there were seventeen or eighteen books, and it was quite overwhelming. She followed the chief all the way to the courtyard where the Guangxi Qing Officials Division was located, just in the northeast corner of the yamen, behind which was a high wall, and behind the high wall was the household treasury.

In the next few months, she will be here for a while, and she also understands why Gu Dehai asked her to come to the Guangxi Qing Officials Division. In addition to being in charge of the Guangxi Political Division and the Guangxi Capital Division, the Guangxi Qing Officials Division of the Thirteen Qing Officials Division is also in charge of some of the Beijing Yamen, such as Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple, etc., as well as the Taicang Silver Treasury, the Ten Warehouses of the Inner Government, and the pastures, warehouses, stables, and cattle houses in the territory of Shuntian Mansion.

The racecourse in the capital is about to be completed, and the supply needs to be solved nearby, especially forage, horses and livestock, so it can also be used.
