Soon, on the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the fifth year of Shaosheng, Wu Zhi finally received an edict from Zhao Xu and transferred him back to Beijing to serve in Kaifeng Mansion.

Looking at the edict in front of him asking him to return to Beijing to take up his post, Wu Zhi still felt a little surprised, this was much earlier than he expected, and the reason was a little different, it was because of his political achievements in Weishi County, which made Wu Zhi a little crying and laughing, thinking that it should not be so simple.

In the past six months or so, Wu Zhi has done almost nothing in the county magistrate of Weishi County, and he has done it very freely, and his political achievements have been made by Yu Wenqiong's subordinates, and now he can be promoted to three levels in a row, he is ashamed!

This is really intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows!

Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Jin Lian and others were elated. Everyone in the family was surprised and delighted to see that Wu Zhi could not only return to Beijing, but also be promoted to the third level after returning to Beijing, and the family was even more lively and festive than the New Year.

"In this case, why don't you be a favor and recommend Yuwenqiong to the imperial court, and let him be the county commander?" Wu Zhi thought about it for a long time, and decided to submit a letter of recommendation to the officials after returning to the capital, and pushed Yu Wenqiong, which can be regarded as a return for the peach.

But after returning to Beijing, how should the champion series wine be produced? Should the new osmanthus wine shop be moved or not? "Pan Wuji" Caoyun Company where should it go?

These questions made Wu Zhi feel that he had a big head and two big heads, and he was in a dilemma.

In the end, the osmanthus new wine shop was moved to the capital? Or stay in Weishi County? Wu Zhi was a little undecided. He really wanted to leave the new osmanthus wine shop in Weishi County, but he was afraid that the craftsmen of the wine shop would not be happy.

As a result, when he told the craftsmen of the osmanthus new wine shop that he was going to return to Beijing to take up his post, everyone was surprised and delighted. When Wu Zhi asked everyone if they wanted to move the new Osmanthus Wine Shop back to the capital, everyone, including Zhang Gui and his wife, unexpectedly said that they didn't want to move, they were used to life in Weishi County, and their days after arriving in the capital may not be as comfortable as they are now in Weishi County!

In Weishi County, they receive three times more wages than ordinary people, live in mansions that ordinary people may not be able to live in in their lifetime, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't want to be happy, of course they don't want to move back to the capital to suffer!

When Wu Zhi heard this, he was surprised, and at the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, this was the best result he wanted!

If the new Osmanthus Wine Shop is relocated again, it will not only cost the people and money, but also be detrimental to long-term development, and it is impossible for Wu Zhi to put all his eggs in the same basket. If the liquor base is also located in the same place as the sales base, the ability to resist risks will be greatly weakened, if there is a wind and grass will be implicated, it is better to put it in Weishi County, the distance is not far, the traffic is also convenient, and it will not affect the normal production and sales of the champion series of wine.

Since the Osmanthus New Wine Workshop is still in Weishi County, Wu Zhi simply does not plan to move the "Pan Wuji" Caoyun Company to the capital for the time being, and also stays in Weishi County, and by the way, he can also serve the Osmanthus New Wine Workshop.

After several months of literacy training, most of the employees of Caoyun Company have been freed from illiteracy, learned to read and write, and are no longer as illiterate and vulgar as before, and some even have a trace of literati temperament, and have a literati atmosphere. Wu Zhi is in his eyes and happy in his heart. These people who can write and martial arts are the talents he wants most, and the sour crepe literati who are powerless and the rude men who only have brute strength and no brains are not the people he is looking for, and these people can't do what he wants to plan in the future.

After making up his mind, Wu Zhi specially summoned Zhang Gui and his wife to have a meal with Meng Da, Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Qian Mancang, Chen Shun, Hu Kui, Gan Zilin and others, and introduced them to each other by the way, so that Zhang Gui and his wife could connect with Meng Da and other seven people, and hand over the task of transporting low-alcohol liquor back to the capital and some liquor materials back to Weishi County in the future to Caoyun Company.

At the same time, Wu Zhi announced that in the future, the operation of the Osmanthus New Wine Workshop will be fully responsible for Zhang Gui and his wife, and the operation of Caoyun Company will also be fully represented by Meng Da and others, but the decision-making power is in Wu Zhi's hands, and he must be consulted on decision-making issues.

After dealing with these things, when Wu Zhi sent Dahu and Erhu and Caoyun Company's big ship to deliver wine back to the Zhuangyuan Building in the capital, Tuoyaxing rented a larger house than when he was in the capital before, and the monthly rent was as high as eighty yuan, but the house was enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people.

After Dahu and Erhu came back from renting a house, Wu Zhi and the rest of the family had already packed up the jars and luggage that they had packed and taken away, as well as many new gunpowder and bamboo grenades.

Yu Wenqiong, Wang Mingyang, Wei Gang and others held a farewell banquet for Wu Zhi before he left, which was held in the county ya, and all the officials came to see him off, they were really reluctant to let Wu Zhi leave! Because of Wu Zhi's departure, their monthly salary will be cut in half!

But what everyone in the county government didn't expect was that Wu Zhi took out real money and gave them two months' monthly salary at the farewell banquet, which really made them happy, and looked at Wu Zhi being closer than his father.

"Brother Mingda, this is the recommendation I wrote for you, please take a look at it and see if there is anything wrong." After the farewell banquet, Wu Zhi took out the recommendation letter written overnight and handed it to Yu Wenqiong, "Mingda" was his word.

Yu Wenqiong was a little surprised to take the recommendation letter in Wu Zhi's hand, read it carefully, and looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he was overjoyed. This recommendation is so well written, it simply praises Yu Wenqiong to the sky! made Yu Wenqiong feel a little embarrassed after reading it.

"Thank you Lord Wu for your support! The lower official is toothless and unforgettable! Yu Wenqiong looked at Wu Zhi gratefully, and said respectfully and sincerely. To this day, he can be regarded as completely subservient to Wu Zhi's mind.

"Don't thank me, you deserve it!" Wu Zhi smiled knowingly. The reason why he wanted to recommend Yu Wenqiong as the county magistrate of Weishi County also contained his own selfishness. Osmanthus New Wine Shop and Caoyun Company are both in Weishi County, and they will have to rely on this Lord Yuwen to take care of them in the future, after all, there are acquaintances who are doing things well.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and after everything is ready, it is time for Wu Zhi and his family to leave Weishi County and return to the capital.

The spring breeze in February is like scissors, the second day of the second month of February in the fifth year of Shaosheng who wants to be warm and cold, and there is a carload of pots and jars swaggering through the city, for a long time, Weishi County Huimin River Wharf, the big ship of the Caoyun company loaded all the things on the ship, under the eyes of Yuwenqiong, Wang Mingyang, Wei Gang, Zhang Gui and his wife, Wu Zhi took all the family members and all the high-level officials of the Caoyun company to slowly leave the dock by boat, set sail to the capital, Meng Da, Li Hongyi and other seven people also followed him into Beijing, mainly to recognize a way, so as to facilitate future contact. Of course, Wu Zhi also brought Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo with him.

As for the mansion vacated after moving out of Weishi County, Wu Zhi decided to leave it for Caoyun Company as a place for office and accommodation, and it was up to Meng Da to decide how to arrange it.

Sailing against the current, tracing the river, the big ship flying the flag of "Pan Wuji" Caoyun Company finally arrived in the capital two days later with the efforts of all the shipwrights. Because Wu Zhi carried tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder and the draft of the ship was deep, Wu Zhi could only ask the employees of Caoyun Company to drive the ship slowly, stabilize the word, and put safety first, so the ship was relatively slow.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of low-alcohol liquor, a few days ago, under the instruction of Wu Zhi, Dahu had rented a warehouse on the Xishuimen Wharf as a temporary storage place for low-alcohol liquor transported from Weishi County. This warehouse now comes in handy, the jars and jars and a lot of gunpowder unloaded from the ship are temporarily moved to the warehouse for preservation, Wu Zhi and the others took the luggage, hired a few ox wagons (the four carriages brought to Weishi County Wu Zhi were left for the use of the Osmanthus New Wine Factory), and the light car Jane rushed to the rented house. This mansion is near the Baokang Gate, which is relatively close to the Zhuangyuan Building, which is convenient for delivery.

In the capital, a place that has been absent for eight months, Wu Zhi has finally returned with a high-profile killing!

After tidying up a little, Wu Zhi took everyone to the Zhuangyuan Building and invited guests to dinner, which was regarded as a banquet for himself and his family to return to the capital. When Qian Mu heard the news, he immediately rushed over and congratulated Wu Zhi on his return to the capital and Gao Sheng. In this meal, in the staggered planning, everyone killed six bottles of "Champion Alcohol" wine, and the meal was exempted by Qian Mu, and Wu Zhi had no way to take him. Wu Zhi was also a little happy in his heart, so he drank a few more glasses, and when he returned home, he was also a little drunk.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Zhi got up early in the morning, and after meditating and practicing boxing, he came to the official department with an order from the imperial court to report. This time, seeing Wu Zhi's arrival, the officials no longer have contempt and schadenfreude, only envy and admiration, they can stand out in such a complex political environment as Weishi County, and even be promoted to three levels, it seems that this young Lord Wu Zhi still has quite different means and wisdom from ordinary people, not to be underestimated!

How could Wu Zhi have the leisure to manage everyone's thoughts, complete the entry procedures, and after getting the official documents, he went straight to the office of General Xu, the secretary of the ministry, and after a greeting, Wu Zhi took out the letter of recommendation recommending Yuwenqiong as the county magistrate of Weishi County, and solemnly handed it over to General Xu.

Xu Jiang took the letter of recommendation while looking at Wu Zhi, his mind was complicated and difficult to understand. The future of the person who can be remembered by the official family is limitless, and Xu Jiang has begun to pay attention to the young man in front of him.

After carefully reading the letter of recommendation submitted by Wu Zhi, Xu Jiang did not think twice, and made instructions on it, and the two vermilion characters of "to be approved" made Wu Zhi happy, and he was very satisfied with what Xu Jiang did.

After Dai Yu Wenqiong thanked Lord Shangshu, Wu Zhi said goodbye to General Xu and went straight to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, and he also had to report to Kaifeng Mansion.

Shangshu Province is not far from Fengfu, and after a cup of tea, Wu Zhi walked to the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

The towering gate of the Kaifeng Mansion Bureau, surrounded by stone lions on both sides, the three gilded characters of "Kaifeng Mansion" written on the plaque of the gate tower shine brightly. There were two soap-clothed servants standing outside the door, and when they saw Wu Zhi coming over, they were too young and let the two of them reach out and stop him.

"Who is Childe looking for?" They thought Wu Zhi was here to find someone.

Who to look for? Now Cai Jingquan knows Kaifeng Mansion, which is equivalent to the supreme leader of Kaifeng Mansion, that is, Fu Yin, it stands to reason that Wu Zhi's first day as the judge of Kaifeng Mansion should be to visit Cai Jing, the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, to exchange feelings, but Cai Jing is also the head of the household department, and he usually works in the household department, and Wu Zhi obviously cannot go to the household department to visit him.

Wu Zhi thought about it, shook his head, and then took out the appointment letter and the letter of appointment of the ministry and handed it to the two people.

The two officials took the letter of appointment and took a look at the letter, and immediately stood in awe, and after respectfully handing over the letter of appointment and the letter of appointment to Wu Zhi, they hurriedly let go and said respectfully: "My lord, please come in!" The two of them were surprised, it was the first time they had seen a young judge of Kaifeng Mansion like Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi entered the Kaifeng Mansion, he really didn't see Cai Jing, the number one, he only saw Lord Lu Jiawen and Lord Situ Changling, the judge of the right hall, and Cao Hua, the magistrate of the left hall, and Xiang Xia Yuan, the magistrate of the right hall, Lu Jiawen and Situ Changling, both of whom were sixty years old, had white hair, and looked quite kind, and both of them were quite polite to Wu Zhi. And Cao Hua and Xiang Xia Yuan are in the prime of life, around forty years old, one is thin and tall and the other is short and fat, and the eyes of the two of them looking at Wu Zhi are a little unkind, lukewarm, such a young judge in the left hall makes them quite tasteful.

The top leaders of Kaifeng Mansion are these six people, Cai Jing belongs to the high match, and Lu Jiawen is judged to be the fifth grade, the second in command of Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Zhi is the judge of the left hall, and the third in command of Kaifeng Mansion, and the judge of the right hall Situ Changling, the left hall pusher Cao Hua and the right hall pusher Xiang Xia Yuan are all from the six grades. At that time, Kaifeng Mansion implemented the division of the left and right halls, and the specific actions under the Fu Yin and Tong Judgment were the judges and the magistrates, and the judges were responsible for "life", that is, punishment and prison proceedings; The magistrate is responsible for the "acquaintance", that is, the household registration and rent.

Situ Changling, the judge of the right hall, is also the head of the embassy, and is mainly responsible for administrative affairs and the performance appraisal of officials under Kaifeng Prefecture.

And Wu Zhi, as the judge of the Zuo Hall, his duty in Kaifeng Mansion is to be responsible for punishment and prison proceedings, to put it bluntly, he is in charge of public security arrest, trial and sentencing, litigation and prison and other affairs, it is a hard job, and the power in his hands seems to be quite large, but in fact, it is not. Because Kaifeng Mansion Yin is "in charge of Yin Zhengjidian's affairs, to teach the people and persuade them." The prison lawsuits in the central capital are all subject to and listened to, and small matters are dictated, and major matters are performed", which means that the power in Wu Zhi's hands is to a large extent controlled and influenced by the Lord Yin, that is, Cai Jing, who can make a decision at that time.

A few days later, the edict appointing Yu Wenqiong as the county magistrate of Weishi County was issued to Weishi County, and Yu Wenqiong finally got her wish, and naturally she was more grateful and in awe of Wu Zhi.
