The snowflakes slowly fell on the concrete floor. The streets swept through the day had already accumulated a thick layer. The carriage walked over the snow, leaving several deep ruts.

The car parked outside the door of Quan Mansion. The two simple words hung above the lintel, Quan Mansion, but this was the residence of the Ming Dynasty, Quan Yun, the chief minister who was under one person and above ten thousand people.

In the Ming Dynasty, people who could let Quan Yun go out of the gate could basically count with one hand. But today, although it was still snowing outside, Quan Yun was standing under the eaves. Seeing the carriage stop, he even hurriedly walked down the steps and faced the carriage.

The carriage door opened, and a man wrapped in a heavy fur wrapped himself up like a bear came out of the carriage, and with the help of the guards, he got off the carriage.

"Mr. Zeng." Quan Yun clasped his fists as a ritual.

"Oh, it's really a terrifying Zeng Lin. How can the Prime Minister come to greet him in person?" Zeng Lin, who only showed a wrinkled face, held his fists and returned the greeting.

"Others come, Quan will naturally not come out to greet him, but Mr. Zeng is different." Quan Yun said with a big laugh: "Please, please, when Mr. Zeng is coming, Quan prepared fine wine and delicacies early. Today, auspicious snow falls. You and I are drinking while enjoying the snow."

"It's all my wish." Zeng Lin laughed, "I just felt a little unhappy. I could drink alcohol, but I couldn't drink too much. I'll just give it a try, so I'll forgive you."

He helped Zeng Lin with one hand and walked inward. Quan Yun smiled and said, "At your age, it's not the time to drink angrily, of course, just be as good as you and me."

Zeng Lin, the former governor of the six eastern provinces of Chu, and the close comrade-in-arms of Chu, Cheng Wuben, joined hands with Cheng Wuben to establish a new defense line for Chu in Jinghu County, withstood the attack of Qi and delayed the life of Chu for several years. However, with Cheng Wuben's unjust death, Zeng Lin was discouraged and finally turned against the Ming Dynasty under Yang Zhi's persuasion.

Under his leadership, the six eastern counties defected to the Ming Dynasty as a whole, which was a fatal blow to the weak and boring state of Chu at that time. After the Ming Dynasty conquered the Chu state, Zeng Lin also left Jinghu and arrived in Yuejing City, becoming one of the political affairs halls.

However, this strong old man who has never been sick in the past few years has been seriously ill after arriving in Yuejing City. Until now, he has not officially started to recuperate. He has been recuperating in the mansion. Today is the first time he has left his house.

This disease almost cost him his life. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty Yuejing City gathered all the medical skills and magical skills, so he snatched the old man from the King of Hell. In Shu Chang's words, this old man had already fallen into the root of his illness in the past years, but because of the current situation, he could not fall down, so he kept relying on his will to support him. When he took off his burden and arrived at Yuejing City, his completely relaxed body could not withstand the invasion of the disease.

Fortunately, he survived again. At that time, Qin Feng gave a death order to Shu Chang and others, and Zeng Lin must live. This life was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Zeng is so big that he looks pretty good." Quan Yun asked with concern while walking through the corridor.

"It's much better, much better." Zeng Lin smiled and said, "I'm just a dirty bone. When I endure hardships, my body has nothing to do. I really want to enjoy my happiness, but I can't bear it anymore. I'm so ashamed!"

"The Ming Dynasty is facing a major change since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Mr. Zeng is in good health and will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities next. I am afraid I will not be able to enjoy the Fortune." Quan Yun said.

"I'm old and can't do it anymore. Now, I just want to enjoy the joy of family. I will be willing to let His Majesty abandon him and let him become a political consultant. For me, if your Majesty needs me, I will go and help the staff. It's better to have fun at home and enjoy my grandchildren on weekdays." Zeng Lin said with a smile. "I've been worried all my life, and I don't want to worry about Luo anymore."

Quan Yun smiled, "Mr. Zeng has a son and a daughter, one in Chu and the other in the west, far away from Yuejing. If Mr. Zeng wants to, he can transfer his eldest son back to Yuejing. In the west, he will suffer a little. Yingzhou is a little better than Cenzhou."

"I asked Chaofan to Yingzhou to be asked by the emperor." Zeng Lin said: "Although Yingzhou is hard, its starting point is low, so it is easy to achieve results. This is my little thought, and the chief assistant can just laugh it off."

Quan Yun laughed: "Don't you have the intention to part with Yue Kaishan?"

"Of course there is this." Zeng Lin laughed dryly: "Speaking of this, I have been confronting Yue Kaishan for many years. This person's talent is indeed rare. When he goes to a place like Cenzhou, he can do some earth-shaking things. Once the canal is built, Cenzhou will develop!"

"Yue Kaishan is indeed a talent. It is very difficult for Chaofan to beat him." Quan Yun commented fairly.

"Extraordinary talent is indeed inferior to this person, but with my old staff for many years, they all followed him to Yingzhou. I told him that if I lose to Yue Kaishan, don't come back to see me." Zeng Lin said.

"It's harsh, it's harsh." Quan Yun kept shook his head.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived in a room. Seeing this room, Zeng Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

This is a luxurious house.

The wall leaning against the back garden was completely replaced by tall glazed glass. At this moment, countless glazed lamps in the back garden shone brightly even in the wind and snow. The wind rolled and snow fell, and the light was shimmering, creating some colorful light from time to time. Standing inside the house, it was clear to the outside.

Zeng Lin has been in Yuejing City for more than half a year and knows the cost of these things. Even though the price of glass has begun to be greatly reduced, the price of glass such as tall and wide is still priceless.

There was no fire in the room, but it was extremely warm. Zeng Lin knew very well, because the mansion he lived in, under the special care of the emperor, had installed such a complete heating system before the winter began.

It was iron pipes densely spread in the wall, boiling water in another place, hot water flowed through these pipes and circulated constantly, and the hot air was emitted through these pipes, making the whole room warm like spring. If it weren't for these facilities, Zeng Lin, a person who was used to living in the south, wouldn't have been used to the coldness of the capital.

A small table had already been set up in front of the glazed curtain wall, four or five plates of side dishes. The two of them sat down left and right, glanced at the side dishes on the table, and Zeng Lin sighed: "If you can't go to the capital, you won't know that the world is rich."

"We are all older, big fish, big meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, and meat are too heavy. It is not suitable for us. Light side dishes are more conducive to health preservation. Zeng Gong, don't think I'm being careless!" Quan Yun smiled and poured Zeng Lin a bright red wine, "This is not produced by us in the Ming Dynasty, but from overseas origin, and the taste is very different. Zeng Gong, you can drink a few more glasses of this wine, which will not harm your body."

Don’t tell Zeng Lin was amazed. Apart from the luxurious facilities in this room, the inconspicuous dishes on this table are not affordable by ordinary people, because they should not appear in this season. Zeng Lin knew that these dishes were grown in the greenhouse, and several of these sparse vegetables were all seeds drawn from the Western Regions. Now they have not been popularized in the Ming Dynasty. The Zeng family came to Beijing for a short time, but they still did not have the planting technology like this. In the small greenhouse, they had to plant sparse vegetables that were off-season, so they needed to have considerable experience in controlling the temperature. The Zeng family did not have this ability. So after arriving in Yuejing, his wife and her family had been busy for several months, but now the greenhouse was still terrible, and they had paid a lot of money.

Seeing Zeng Lin's face showing a strange look, Quan Yun smiled and said, "Don't look at my family's luxury, but the money for buying these things is clean. Although Quan is the chief assistant, he can't do the things he uses his power for personal gain, and secondly, he doesn't dare to do it."

Zeng Lin touched her gray beard, "I was indeed a little surprised, because I still couldn't buy it with the salary of the chief minister."

Quan Yun nodded, "It's true that I can't get it, but Quan has some other ways of coming. Zeng Gong also knew that I came from Shayang County, so there were still some shares in the business in Shayang County. I originally wanted to withdraw, but His Majesty the Emperor said that there was no need for this. As long as the money was clean, what would you dare not take? The decent minister still wanted."

Speaking of this, he bowed to the direction of the palace, "Your Majesty treats people with sincerity and trust, and the power is full of nowhere."

"It is precisely because of such an emperor that the current Ming Dynasty has been established!" Zeng Lin nodded in agreement: "That assistant, let's give His Majesty a cup to His Majesty the Emperor first."

"Natural!" Quan Yun smiled, turned sideways, raised his glasses far away towards the palace, and then drank them all in one go.

Zeng Lin stood up, took the wine bottle, and filled the two of them.

"I gave this second glass of wine to the Buddha and respect the first assistant. For more than ten years, I worked diligently and worked tirelessly, making the Ming Dynasty the richest country in the world. The Ming Dynasty has the strength of today, and the first assistant should be the first to be the first." Zeng Lin raised his glass and said.

"This is really ridiculous." Quan Yun said: "Since Shayang, I have been serving as the butler for Your Majesty. But I didn't expect that this butler has been serving for more than ten years, and his family has become bigger and bigger. From a mere county, hundreds of thousands of people, to a few hundred thousand miles, and billions of people, I really never dreamed of what it is today. I would like to ask Your Majesty for his blessings, and in history books, I would probably leave a rich and colorful hand for Quan. Although I am ashamed of this glass of wine, Quan still drank it."
