Chapter 42: The First Day of Promotion
After spending 50,000 taels of silver to drink two glasses of wine, Zhang Yuan didn't feel distressed.
Originally, he was just going to have a pastime with Zhu Conggui and Chen Wenli tonight, but now he had a plan in his heart.
can not only make money but also frustrate the Qianhuafang, the key is to cooperate with the clouds.
Seeing that Zhu Chen and the two were most likely going to spend the night among the clouds tonight, Zhang Yuan didn't wait, got up and planned to leave.
The little guy who sent them here before was very discerning, and directly pulled Zhang Yuan to the post house in a carriage.
Not to mention anything else, the service attitude of this package is much stronger than that of Qianhuafang.
Early the next morning.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yuan changed into the official residence of the Huangmen Shilang of the Hanlin Academy and went to the Hanlin Academy.
The so-called Hanlin Academy, in fact, is a talent concentration base, which basically brings together all kinds of talents of the Dakang Dynasty.
What kind of playing the piano, playing chess, divination, etc., the name sounds quite bullish, but it is actually a place for the emperor to have fun.
So it's actually very easy to work as an errand boy in Hanlin Temple.
Especially Zhang Yuan is just a Huangmen squire, and it is not his turn to accompany the emperor to relax.
Zhang Yuan's boss was a middle-aged man with a mustache and a slightly chubby figure, and he looked at Zhang Yuan's waist card and laughed.
"You are the Zhang Yuan who was beaten by His Majesty with forty sticks on the first day of his work in the capital, and he almost turned over and beat him?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's mind went black, this is the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.
"What the adults said is that the next official is Zhang Yuan."
Helplessly responded, Zhang Yuan listened to the other party's happy words: "The official's name is Liu Yi, and you will be under the control of the official in the future." Sit down, do you want to put a cushion on you? Your ass still hurts, right? ”
Zhang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Thank you, Lord Liu, no need." ”
This boss is quite easy to talk to, which makes people feel a lot more relaxed.
Liu Yi smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, it's still very idle to be on an errand in our Hanlin Academy, you just need to sort out the housekeeping of ancient books every day." ”
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he hurriedly took out fifty taels of silver tickets with a good understanding of current affairs: "Then thank you Lord Liu for taking care of it." ”
This time, he went to Beijing with a small 100,000 taels of silver tickets, which is his habit.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your pocket, don't panic.
Seeing Zhang Yuan like this, Liu Yi smiled even more happily: "It's easy to say, we Huangmenlang must take care of our own people." ”
From Liu Yi, knowing the approximate commuting time and the work to be done, Zhang Yuan was taken to his office.
casually looked through the basic so-called ancient books, and it didn't mean much.
Zhang Yuan walked out of the room and looked at the other colleagues, all of them were either drinking tea or dozing off, and they were all fishing.
This made Zhang Yuan suddenly fall in love with the job, and turned his head and went back to the office to sleep.
After a while, he heard a knock on the door, and Zhang Yuan got up and saw Zhu Conggui also yawning and walking in.
Zhang Yuan snorted: "Brother Zhu, how long have you been doing it last night?" Why is there no blood on his face, just returned from the clouds? ”
"Nonsense."
Zhu Conggui's face flushed, and then said: "Your brother and I went back to the Ministry early in the morning to order something, and I came over to take a look at it at this time, didn't you kid say yesterday that you wanted to get a house?" ”
Zhang Yuan came to the spirit: "It's done?" ”
Zhu Conggui took out a circle of keys: "With the yard, more than 3,000 taels of silver, of course this little thing is effortless, do you want me to take you to see the house?" ”
"Thank you so much, brother, take me to see it."
After saying hello to Liu Yi, Zhang Yuan followed Zhu Conggui out of Hanlin Academy.
I have to say that Zhu Conggui has a heart, and the house he bought is quite close to where Zhang Yuan works.
Although more than 3,000 taels of silver is expensive, this is already very good in the capital, and it is impossible to say that Zhu Conggui used his connections to get it.
Zhang Yuan was very satisfied, and just took out the silver, but he never wanted to be rejected by Zhu Conggui.
"You're going to see the outside world when you come to this set, aren't you?"
Zhang Yuan: "Oh, how embarrassing this is, let your brother make a lot of effort and expense, brother, I have to thank you." ”
Zhu Conggui laughed: "I really want to thank you for inviting me to drink one day." ”
"Then let's say so, I'll make an appointment another day."
Zhu Conggui nodded: "Okay, you can go back to the Hanlin Academy quickly, on the first day of taking office, although the errand is leisurely, you still have to behave." ”
The two separated, Zhu Conggui did not return to the ministry, but returned to his home.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the living room drinking tea, and Zhu Conggui hurriedly said respectfully: "Brother." ”
"The house was sent out?"
The man asked with a smile, Zhu Conggui nodded and was a little puzzled: "It's sent out." Brother, why don't you let him know? ”
Zhu Conglong shook his head speechlessly: "You guy still don't know how to give gifts, how can such a thing as a gift come clearly?" ”
Zhu Conggui only felt that his brother was making a big fuss: "You are a dignified Zuo Shilang, rank from the third grade, give him a six-grade Huangmenlang gift and sneak around, too careful." ”
Zhu Conglong sneered: "Fool, what do you know." If Pingyang County is really the situation you said, this Zhang Yuan is by no means simple, you still don't know why His Majesty beat him with forty sticks first, and finally promoted him to an official? ”
Zhu Conggui came to get closer: "Brother, I thought I was going to die a few days ago, but yesterday I heard Zhang Yuan say that Her Royal Highness the princess went to Pingyang County to understand." ”
Zhu Conglong snorted: "That's right, Your Majesty must know what the situation is in Pingyang County." The forty sticks are punishments, and the promotion means that Zhang Yuan will reuse Zhang Yuan in the future. ”
"According to what you said, Pingyang County has a rich life, which shows that Zhang Yuan is a good hand in the economy, so you must be close to this guy!"
Zhu Conggui hurriedly said: "You mean to win over the relationship, and then let him do business for our Zhu family?" ”
Zhu Conglong suddenly felt extremely tired: "You idiot, that's the person Your Majesty fancies, you actually want him to do things for our Zhu family, it's a long life?" ”
"I'm asking you to get closer to him, if there is any rumor in the future, you can know it as soon as possible, if I guess correctly, Your Majesty will let him enter the household department in the future!"
"If we know Your Majesty's thoughts in advance, we will be invincible, look at it, in the future, Zhang Yuan will definitely not be just a little Yellow Gate Squire!"
Zhu Conglong didn't finish what he said, what he cared more about was what position Zhang Yuan would do if he entered the household department in the future, and if he replaced him as the left servant of the household department, it would be fun.
So we must have a good relationship with Zhang Yuan at this time.
While many people were still waiting, he had already begun to invest.
And Zhang Yuan's first day of promotion was basically fishing, and he was walking on the street just after work, when he saw the little guy who sent him back to the post house yesterday trotting over.
