Yang Ning had already thought about his words before coming. Then he told Concubine Li some modern theories on educating children. For example, how not to indoctrinate them rigidly, how to combine work and rest, how to be persuasive and focus on cultivating interests, etc. .These theories are naturally very simple in modern society, but in that era they had a deafening and enlightening effect. Concubine Li was shocked when she heard that. There was no reason not to agree. She immediately agreed to Yang Ning's suggestion and told Yang Ning must find more imperial guards to accompany the prince to protect his safety. Yang Ning naturally agreed.

After bidding farewell to Concubine Li and Shui Ling, Yang Ning left Fengyi Palace. Wanli appeared out of nowhere and asked expectantly: "How is it? Did the mother-in-law agree?"

Yang Ning's heart moved. She said slowly: "I promised, I promised... Actually, I don't have much opinion. It's just that Eunuch Feng blocked it. I spent a lot of words."

Wanli's expression dropped. He said in a deep voice, "'What did my eldest companion say?"

"Forget it. I can't say what he said. You can just ask the servants of Fengyi Palace later. It's getting late. Let's go. First, go to the fundraising yamen and get to know the subordinates. Before you go, you first Go find the young eunuch and change into some clothes. Your Majesty agrees. From now on, as long as you complete your homework for the day, you can do anything with me, even leave the palace. However, your identity cannot be exposed."

"Understood." Wanli said excitedly.

…

The newly established donation-raising and relief yamen were already crowded inside and outside. They were crowded with personnel sent from various yamen. There were eunuchs from the ceremonial department, the chief ministers from Dali Temple and Honglu Temple, and the censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The governor, Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Etiquette, the principal, and a Qianhu from the Jinyiwei Command and Envoy Department gathered together in twos and threes and were whispering to each other, waiting for the arrival of the new chief officer.

Because Yang Ning was in charge of raising funds for disaster relief, Concubine Li naturally gave her strong support. A large number of relevant yamen and officials requested to participate in this matter.

Among them, Yang Ning is the Supervisor of Ceremonies. He has the staff of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to participate in the class; it involves merits and etiquette. The Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites must also participate; the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must also participate. They are responsible for supervising fund-raising. Money, supplies, expenses, etc. In fact, Concubine Li didn't want to arrange for people to come to these two places. But Yang Ning said she didn't agree. This fact is too sensitive. She doesn't want to gain personal gain. How can she give people the truth in vain? The Ministry is the most important department. It is responsible for specific assistance, supervision and implementation; the Jin Yiwei is also very important. It mainly protects property, maintains safety and order, etc.

"The Supervisor of Ceremonies is responsible for collecting donations for disaster relief and the Governor of the Yamen. Eunuch Yang has arrived..."

Following the melodious shout of the little eunuch at the door, the yamen suddenly became silent. All the yamen officials, especially those who had never seen Yang Ning, opened their eyes wide, waiting to see this popular and high-ranking man. A powerful young eunuch.

Outside the door, Yang Ning led a "little eunuch" with red lips and white teeth, and Zhang Weinian and a large group of imperial guards in imperial robes. They slowly walked into the gate of the fundraising yamen, passed through the crowd, and sat down steadily. On the chair at the top of the lobby.

"I have met Governor Yang." All the officials in the hall saluted Yang Ning.

After getting such an errand, Yang Ning also got the title of "Governor". Yang Ning was very satisfied with this title. It was much better than having people call him "father-in-law". In the internal supervision yamen, except for Feng Bao was called the "Governor" because he supervised the East Factory. Now there is another internal supervisor named Yang Ning.

"My lords, you don't need to be polite. Although our family has been entrusted by the emperor's decree and the two empresses to preside over this fund-raising and relief for the victims, after all, we are young and have little knowledge and lack of ability. I hope that all your lords can help us and work together to complete it. This matter will be recorded in the merit list in the future and I will not hesitate to add you to it."

"It all depends on the cultivation of the governor." All the officials responded in unison.

"Starting from today, our temporary donation-raising and disaster relief yamen has been established. As for when it will be disbanded, it depends on how efficient we are in doing things. Now, let's get to know each other first. In this way, you all will come one by one first. Introduce yourself. Let’s start with... Let’s start with the Chief of Ceremonies." Yang Ning tapped the armrest of the seat with one hand. Then he glanced sideways at Wan Li, who was dressed as a little eunuch next to him, and signaled him to calm down. .Don’t always look around with excitement on your face.

"The young Chief of Ceremonies, Zhang Cheng, leads the eight eunuchs who serve as the Supervisor of Ceremonies. They are always at the disposal of the Governor."

The person in charge sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies this time turned out to be Zhang Cheng. Yang Ning knew that this must be what Feng Bao meant. Because recently, Meng Tong, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has been busy serving Long Qing in Yuyang Palace all day long. He is engaged in alchemy and sexual pleasure. He has no time to take care of internal affairs.

Now Zhang Cheng is highly valued by Feng Bao in the Supervisor of Ceremonies. He is the person Feng Bao trains hard. Originally, Yang Ning should be happy for Zhang Cheng. But thinking about the conflict with Feng Bao just now, he felt a little happy in his heart. Can't get up.

"Wen Jingwen, who is the Prime Minister of Yousi Temple of Dali Temple, has met Yang Dugong."

"Yuan Zhengguang, who holds a humble position as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, led eight colleagues from the same department to meet Governor Yang."

"Humble job..."

…

Yang Ning was sitting in the hall. He kept nodding in response to the greetings of these officials from the Six Departments and Jiuqing Yamen. On the surface, he always smiled, but in fact, he was not happy in his heart. After careful observation, all the officials standing in the hall were all They are middle and lower-level officials in various ministries. Most of them are in the seventh, eighth, or ninth ranks. The highest is only a fifth rank. This official position is second to none. The key is that he has seen so many people. Yang Ning has not seen it at all. I found a few people who are smart and capable and can be reused.

Damn it. Look at the mental outlook and rank and official titles of these people in front of me. This is some people deliberately trying to embarrass me. All the yamen seem to have colluded. The most unpopular ones in their respective yamen, the dull and honest ones, are Even the slick and foolish ones were sent to me.

"Wei Xuezeng, formerly the head of the Shandong Qing Li Department in the Household Department. He led many associates and colleagues from the Household Department. He met the governor."

A Qingyue voice rang out from the hall. Hearing that it was from the Ministry of Finance, Yang Ning couldn't help but pay attention. The people from the Ministry of Finance were the main ones to rely on for this work. If the person sent was a idiot, it would be a bit of a problem.

At this time, the person who came forward to greet him was a sixth-rank household official. He seemed to be young, only in his twenties. Although he looked ordinary, he was only wearing a sixth-grade trousers that had been washed white. Pin Yuanyang mended his official robe. But his whole person looked clean and neat. There was just a hint of aloofness between his brows. His salute to Yang Ning was also casual and perfunctory.

Yang Ning looked at Wei Xuezeng carefully. Then he smiled and said: "You said you are the head of the Shandong Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Are you not in charge of taxation, tribute, payment allocation and other practical matters in Shandong? How can you be transferred to us? Home is here.”

After Wei Xuezeng finished the ceremony, he wanted to step aside. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Yang Ning and asked. He could not help but frown slightly and said impatiently: "My father-in-law didn't seem to understand what Beizhi said. Beizhi just said that he was the original 'Head of the Shandong Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs'. But now he has been relieved of his duties. He only has a false title."

Dare to speak to him in such a tone. This Wei Xuezeng is really brave. But such a person is actually quite capable. Looking at Wei Xuezeng's appearance, he seems to be a capable official. But why was he dismissed? The errand was sent to me.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Ning did not show any displeasure. Instead, he said in a joking tone: "Oh. So, it was because of my errand here that Master Wei lost his previous errand. .”

Wei Xuezeng was obviously a little surprised, but Yang Ning was not upset. He hesitated before replying: "I didn't mean this in my humble position. I dare not hide it from my father-in-law. I was dismissed from my post because of my inability to supervise the Shandong flood relief work during my tenure." I am from the department. I have been idle in the ministry a few days ago, so I was sent to my father-in-law."

Damn it. It really is true. This Wei Xuezeng spoke frankly and told the truth. As expected, the people who were sent to him were all "crooked melons and dates" that his grandma didn't care for and his uncle didn't love.

"Mr. Wei is really a cheerful person. Well... I have nothing to do, so I was sent to this governor. Let me ask you, why are you so incompetent in supervising the disaster relief work?" "Can you tell us the details?" Yang Ning asked, still smiling.

"This..." Wei Xuezeng hesitated for a moment and subconsciously glanced at everyone around him. Then he said to Yang Ning: "Eunuch, as for the detailed reasons, I don't want to tell my father-in-law because of my humble position. But there are a lot of hidden things in it... There are a lot of difficulties. It’s better not to talk about it.”

Wei Xuezeng was so hesitant. It seemed that there must be some hidden secret in this matter. Yang Ning stopped asking and said to Wei Xuezeng: "Okay. Let's not care about your past for now. But now that you are here to work with the governor. Then you must do your best and do your job well. Don’t pay attention to any messy people or things. The governor will make the decision for you. As for the benefits of rewards, they are indispensable to you."

Yang Ning's words seemed to mean something. Wei Xuezeng looked at Yang Ning in surprise. Then he bowed and replied: "Thank you for the cultivation of the governor for your humble position. However, the two empresses in the harem are compassionate and advocate such great benevolent deeds to save the world and benefit the people. I am honored to be able to participate in this humble job. I intend to do something practical for the people and the victims. It is not for the rewards and benefits."

Wei Xuezeng's words were still a bit harsh. But Yang Ning knew that he meant what he said and did not deliberately contradict himself. Moreover, Yang Ning also felt that Wei Xuezeng's arrogant and disdainful attitude towards him at this moment was obviously much more relaxed than at the beginning.

"Okay. It's rare that you have such intention. Then I will see how you behave. Please step aside."

Wei Xuezeng agreed and stepped aside.
