After the Qingzhou incident, Ulutus did not return to Shangjing Prefecture as planned. Instead, he planned to board the ship in Yashan Bay and headed westward to the old year before he merged into the new province of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong Province.

As the only province across the sea from the Ming Dynasty, Ulutus still attaches great importance to it. The problems that broke out in the immigration corruption case gave him enough reason to go.

After all, this is an important source of immigration for the Ming Dynasty! Although immigrants can be obtained by Japan and the destroyed Goryeo, and even the Mongolian grasslands. However, the Han people are the immigrants that Ulutus attaches most importance to, no doubt.

First, in this era, Han culture belongs to a culture with strong centripetal force and assimilation. A country like the Ming Dynasty, which has no single ethnic group subject and is completely mixed, is the centripetal force of culture is the best weapon to condense the identity of the people.

Secondly, the number of Han people is large enough. From the perspective of historical development, the Han people's endurance is extremely strong. As long as they eat a bite and don't starve to death, they will honestly dig food in the land. Even if they accept the rule of foreign races, as long as they don't die immediately, they will accept it with peace of mind. The Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Qing dynasties ruled some Han people or all Han people, and their national destiny ranged from nearly a hundred to two or three hundred years.

Ulutus felt that his Ming Dynasty could not have been shorter than the countries established by these overly exploited foreign races when he treated the Han people well.

After receiving the instructions from Ulutus, the Privy Council immediately sent a Minister of the Privy Council, Quandong, to accompany him. Not only that, Shi Ma Yecong, the Minister of Justice, led several major officials of the Ministry of Justice, and followed Quandong to the south.

There were also bachelors from the cabinet and officials whom Ulutus called for the followers to follow, followed Quandong and others.

However, the meeting place was in Shandong Province, not Jiangnan Province. Because Jiangnan is still in an environment where the war is urgently needed, too many senior officials will only cause waste in the administrative system.

In order to protect the safety of these imperial officials, there were still a thousand soldiers accompanying the Central Army. Even if the grounds of Shandong Province, Liaoning and Jilin Province were still peaceful, these middle and senior officials were the mainstays of the Ming Dynasty. If an accident happened all of a sudden, it would be a big blow to the entire administrative system.

Besides, Ulutus's own safety is also a top priority.

When the escort officials arrive at Shandong Province, the Central Army guards will join the escort camp of the Saint Chariot, making the entire guard more powerful.

When Wang Wentong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, received the order to go south to accompany the horse, he happened to step down and go home.

He got married in January of the first year of Qianwu. That period was a good day. Many ordinary families held various wedding events during that period. His wife was not an ordinary immigrant, but the fourth sister of Wang Xu, the current Minister of Rites.

He was seven years younger than him, and he was lively, but he was obedient and well-educated. When the school was first established in Beijing, he studied in the new school for a year in the school. Influenced by the new thoughts of the Ming Dynasty, he was able to speak with him in many things.

I got on the commuter carriage specially configured by the government office, and there were already many colleagues working with me.

"Mr. Wang, come and sit here!" Zheng Mingyan, who was sitting in the last row, moved his body to the side, freeing a seat for Wang Wentong.

"Okay, thank you." Wang Wentong did not give in and bent over and went straight to the last row.

Although he is not in the same department to handle the machinery, he is familiar with Zheng Mingyan and others. Moreover, because the affairs handled by the cabinet are complicated, he often goes to various departments and departments. So everyone is still familiar with it.

"Is your Ministry of Rites so busy? It's only time for him to be removed from office?" After Wang Wentong sat down, Zheng Mingyan said curiously.

Among the original five departments, the Ministry of Rites should be considered the most leisurely department. Generally, when they are taken off duty, they are more punctual. It is not like now, it is completely dark.

Wang Wentong has been in this kind of post-job life of getting up early and going to bed late for a while, and said: "The Education Department was promoted to the Ministry of Education, and the staffing was mostly transferred from the Ministry of Rites. The original rules of service will also be changed. When everyone is familiar with it, it should be better."

"Hey! Your Ministry of Rites is pretty good. Our Ministry of Revenue is pitiful, so we divided three or four out in one go. The Commercial Department has just finished the rectification and then something happened again." An official from the Ministry of Revenue complained.

"Our Ministry of Works cannot be idle..."

Everyone spoke in a few words, and when they arrived at the Sixth Floor of Beiyuan, everyone got off the bus one after another.

Although this place is mainly home to the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles, the imperial court has built a batch of "public housing" here considering the needs of middle and lower-level officials. As long as the officials' employees can live here.

Of course, the premise is that officials and court officials from Shangjing Prefecture shall be appointed by Shangjing Prefecture. If you are officials in other places, Shangjing Prefecture will not provide them in vain. After all, the cost of building "public housing" and daily maintenance must be provided by Shangjing Prefecture.

Wang Wentong lived in No. 46, Zhaoyangfang, North Courtyard. It turned out that he also lived in a public housing unit, but his wife Wang Chan's family was very strong. Although she did not live in Shangjing Prefecture for the rest of the world, there was still a lot of land and assets around her.

When he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, although he handed over a lot of land, he also avoided the tragic fate of raiding the family and extermination. In the Ming Dynasty, he was still a wealthy family.

Among the dowry dowry, there is such a mansion located in the North Courtyard.

After getting off the car, he immediately took a deep breath and tried to make his expression relaxed.

At this time, a few teasing sounds came from the car: "Go back quickly, your little lady should be anxious!"

"Haha, don't walk around tomorrow!" someone said something.

As a new country that has been established from scratch and has not been established for a long time, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were generally younger. Especially those ordinary officials, there are many people in their twenties and thirties.

This also led to the entire Ming Dynasty's official system being full of vitality. Just like the Ming Dynasty, which was born in the morning sun, was full of vitality.

Wang Wentong also feels very friendly when he stays in such an environment. After all, they are all peers, so it will be more natural for everyone to get along with each other.

Before he arrived in front of the door, the servant Lao Wang, who was guarding the door, came forward and said, "Master, you are back. The lady has sent someone to ask several times."

"Today, there were more official duties in the court, so I was delayed in going to court." Wang Wentong said as he walked inward.

As if he remembered something, he suddenly stopped his feet. Old Wang asked, "By the way, is the lady feeling quite comfortable today?"

This old man Wang was the servant brought by his new wife with her dowry. Although she had terminated the contract for selling her body, she signed a labor contract for ten years. And it can be seen that this old man Wang planned to work hard here for the rest of her life.

In fact, as long as most of the masters are not famous, the slaves in their families are willing to stay after they have lifted the contract to sell their bodies. However, the Ming government does not like the large families to raise so many slaves, so many ordinary servants are given "freedom".

Those who stayed are mostly children who were capable and loyal to their families.

Old Wang also had a good impression of this approachable new son-in-law. He immediately smiled and said with a little favor: "Miss Five has come here today, talked to his wife for a while, and then went to Nancheng to watch the new drama and ate the pastries from Ruyifang. He was in great interest."

Wang Wentong felt relieved immediately, so he quickly went back to his room to change into regular clothes. When he returned to the flower hall, the hot meal had already been served.

His wife Wang Chan holds a bun that was recently popular in Ming Dynasty. It was first spread from the princess of the palace, Ejitana. I heard that the king erected her hair personally, so the women in the palace immediately rushed to imitate it.

In the Ming Dynasty, feudal ethics were not strict. This kind of headdress imitation could not be considered offensive to the royal family, so no one pursued it. However, if the superiors had something to like, the subordinates would imitate it. Ulutus' personal preferences could easily become the object of imitation by the subordinates.

Despite the fact that Ulutus had not even combed a strand of hair for Egitanna. This bun was just changed slightly when Ulutus saw Egitanna dressing up, and then it was spread, and it became like this.

But to be honest, this trendy hairstyle is indeed beautiful. Especially with Wang Chan's small face and white skin, it makes people feel a strong desire to protect themselves.

"The food has just been hot, my husband must be hungry, right?" Wang Chan thoughtfully put a slice of 'Dongpo pork' for Wang Wentong, which is a famous dish from the Song Dynasty. But in the Ming Dynasty, which was deeply influenced by the Chineseization, this dish is also very popular among people.

Especially for ordinary people, they will definitely serve them as main courses during the Chinese New Year and the holidays.

But at Wang Wentong's house, this dish can be eaten as soon as you want, so you don't have to wait for important festivals at all.

"Madam, there is a transfer order from the Privy Council today. I will go to Shandong Province in a few days." After eating the fat meat, Wang Wentong tried to look plain as much as possible.

"Why do you have to go so far for nothing?" Wang Chan's expression froze and her eyes turned red and said, "Shandong Province is thousands of miles away from Shangjing, and there are also sea roads. If there is a three-length and two-length shortness, how can I live!"

"It was the conscript of the king. This time, there was some chaos in the Shandong province. The main country went to see it in person. Quan Shumi and Shima Shangshu were also going to go there. The central army would also send a thousand soldiers to accompany him, so there was no need to worry about safety." When Wang Wentong learned that he was named by Ulutus and asked to follow him, his excitement was beyond words.

After all, it is envious and even jealous of all officials to get the blessing of the emperor.

"If you can win the favor of the king, your husband will naturally go." Wang Chan's face suddenly showed a strong and complicated look. There was joy, hesitation, and worry. After all, the newlyweds were just married, and it was unknown how many months it took to meet.

"Don't worry, I will come back well. The cultivation of my father-in-law like me is the time to repay him." Wang Wentong took over Wang Chan's shoulder and comforted her softly.
