In the cabinet, Mao Ji claimed his sick leave, and the piles of memorials have now been handed over to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian is an honest man. If it were other ministers, he would have complained a lot. But instead of complaining, he buried his head and quickly wrote to some of the memorials that were urgently handled.

Not sure, he did not dare to be proficient, but wrote down his own opinions and put them aside, asking someone to send them to Yang Tinghe's desk, and asked him to decide at that time.

Jiang's model work hard and has no regrets, and has been working until noon. At noon, the ministers on duty have to eat tea. During the time of duty, there is no need to eat food, but the habit of eating tea is storm.

Even during the reign of Emperor Yingzong, the rules were never broken.

The so-called tea is actually using pastries and tea. Eating pastries is to fill your stomach, and eating tea is to nourish your spirit. Only in this way can you be energetic and nourish your spirit.

Jiang Mian ate something casually in his ear room, and then he remembered Ming Pao that he did have the habit of reading newspapers. The newspapers were delivered by Hangzhou quickly. Although they were all expired newspapers, Jiang's model worker was still happy.

At this time, someone leaned in and called out: "Sir..."

Jiang Mian put down the newspaper, looked up at the visitor, and immediately showed an approachable smile on his face and said, "Is it successful? Come in and talk."

The young clerk who had a successful word was recommended by Jiang Mian. He was considered a fellow villager of Jiang Mian. He had passed the imperial examination and planned to try his luck next spring exam. He did nothing in the capital. Jiang Mian loved his talent and learned, so he recommended him.

This person's surname is Wang, with a single name of the word "金". Wang Chong came in with a smile and said, "The things that the Lord ordered have been done. Several memorials from Guangxi and Liaodong have been placed in Lord Yang's room.

.There was a memorial from the Governor of Jiangxi, saying that it was a severe drought in Jiangxi this year. The memorial requested the court to reduce the tax and sent it to the Tongzheng Department, and the palace asked the palace to make a judgment as soon as possible."

Jiang Mian smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Thank you, thank you, the clerk in this pavilion, you are the most attentive in your work. It will be fine if you do things well."

Wang Chong hurriedly said, "Education is not hard. How dare students claim to be hard? Yes, can adults hear some rumors in this palace? Students also listen to the news from the Zhengshi Department."

"Rumor? What rumors?" Jiang Mian took a bite of tea leisurely, obviously not caring about external affairs.

Wang Chong looked around and lowered his voice, "I heard that Empress Dowager Zhang said a lot of dissatisfied with Lord Yang. Are you very rude?"

"Oh?" Jiang Mian's face became solemn, and she said, "What did you say?"

Wang Chong quickly told the inquiry one by one, and finally said: "Mr. Mao suddenly said he was sick and left the palace. I thought it was this. Now that Mr. Mao has probably gone to Mr. Yang's mansion.

, The student said something heart-wrenching, Lord Mao is going to seek credit and reward. That is, the adult is too honest and deaf ears to the outside world. Otherwise, why would he be bullied by Lord Mao at this time? Oh, he went to Lord Yang

The seller is good there. But the adults are doing things for him here. What is the reason?"

Jiang Mian said coldly: "If you are successful, be careful of your words!"

Wang Chong was speechless, and he looked around and then he made the voice to the lowest point. He said, "According to the students, the palace seems to have many prejudices towards Lord Yang. Lord Yang doesn't know that, so he repeatedly confronted him.

In the palace, sooner or later... Sir, this is a good opportunity. Speaking of which, your qualifications are much thicker than that Mao Min. If it were Lord Yang... wouldn't it be?"

Jiang Mian's face was getting more and more gloomy, and then he sneered: "Wang Chong, you are so brave. Is Mr. Yang the best? He has gone through three dynasties, and his knowledge and virtue are far above Jiang.

, What do you know? How dare you say such things? As for Mr. Mao, he is also a virtuous person. What is your intention when you repeatedly maliciously speculate on him? I see that you are a person with fame and fortune, and you are a fellow villager. Today

I won’t bother with you about these words, but next time, don’t blame me for turning against you, go down!”

The stern words scared Wang Chong so much that he sweated coldly. He looked at Jiang Mian carefully, as if he wanted to explain.

Jiang Mian angrily scolded: "What else do you want to say? Haven't you said enough nonsense today? Get out!"

Wang Chong no longer dared to stay and hurriedly said goodbye.

Jiang Mian's face changed in his ear room, and then smiled slightly, but the smile was a little cold. He murmured in a low voice: "It's getting more and more interesting. It seems that this time, some people are indeed

It was a mess, and even Wang Chong used this. Do you really think Wang Chong's younger brother bought land in the village a few months ago. Don't I know? With so much money, he is a small juren

Can you afford it?"

He sneered, as if laughing at the person behind this, and then his face became cautious again. After he hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head and whisper: "No, no, it's not right, with Yang Tinghe's methods, yet

As for this practice, I think it is Mao Ji who bought a villain like Wang Chong to make this method happen. Mao Ji, Mao Ji, why are you doing this? You want to be a mantis, but I am not a cicada, who is a sparrow?

Maybe it's possible."

He smiled slightly, picked up the newspaper on the table, his eyes wandered, and he returned to his usual dull face, his eyebrows froze, and he looked carefully.

After a while, a clerk poured a new tea to change it to him. The clerk was usually not eye-catching and had always had a distant relationship with Jiang Mian. He tiptoed to pour tea, suddenly lowered his voice, but his hands and feet kept going.

After packing up the pastries on the table, he whispered: "Sir, a eunuch, just now, went to Wang Chong to say a few words. Another thing is that the editors of several bachelors on duty in the Hanlin Academy seem to be asking around for something. Today

Early in the morning, I came to Guangxi and said that someone was asking about the old man's body in my hometown."

A trace of coldness flashed across Jiang Mian's eyes and said, "It seems that some people regard me as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. They will never give up until they are pulled out."

The inconspicuous clerk was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you want it..."

Jiang Mian smiled coldly and waved his hand and said, "No need to do anything, wait and see the show, the show is still coming."

He smiled slightly, picked up the new tea he had just changed, and continued slowly: "The road government should pay more attention to it. Things will not be so simple. They seem to be inconspicuous at the moment, but sooner or later there will be chaos. As for the others

Yes, don't worry about anything or ask questions."

The clerk said tactfully: "Then the student will leave."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The road government has become a trend. With amulets like commendation certificates, I don’t know how convenient it is for businessmen to go on sale. Besides, if others have it, you can’t do it. Therefore, most merchants near Jingji come to buy it, namely Shanxi, Shandong, and Xuanfu.

The merchants also heard the news. Now there are many merchants near the road government. Because they may not be able to buy them for a while, many merchants from afar have to temporarily play the top spot nearby for a rest. Xu Qian took a fancy to the business opportunity and called Xu Fu.

.

Xu Fu is very busy these days because Xu Qian likes to be lazy too much. Most scholars are good at talking and they immediately stop when they encounter something. Fortunately, Xu Fu is still hardworking and has no choice but to do this Xu Qian, so many things will naturally fall into trouble.

It came to his head.

"Cousin..." Xu Qian looked at him with a smile and said, "It has been more than half a month now. In short, my father is almost back. I just don't know how many people he can bring back this time. Alas,

When he went there, he said that if he could recruit dozens of books and a hundred strong men would be enough. He only applied for so many vacancies from the Beizhenfu Department, but now it seems that these people are still insufficient.

Look outside, hundreds or thousands of merchants are looking at the road government bureau, and they are busy every day, but this is far from enough."

Xu Qian was talking nonsense, but Xu Fu had long recognized Xu Qian's nature. This guy was too lazy and sometimes hopeless. He would never come to gossip with him without any trouble. He smiled bitterly.

He said, "Young Master, just say something."

Xu Qian glared at him and said, "Why don't you talk about your affection? After all, we are cousins. Can't we have sex with each other? Well, since you don't want to chat with me, I'll have to do it with you."

Talk about the serious business.”

This guy turned around and made Xu Fu stare at him. Xu Qian continued, "I was thinking, there are so many people in our Xu family who earn money for others every day, but their families are sucking in the little salary. When will this end?

Now we have a little power, and we have indeed gained a foothold. But who doesn’t want to live in a big house? There are sedan chairs to pick you up and drop off when you go out, and how many beautiful maids are waiting for you? But it’s difficult, it’s hard to have no money everywhere.

So I wondered if we should take the opportunity to do some

But I am a scholar. After all, I am going to be stung by someone in business. And my father is now in office and I really can't get rid of him. Xu Han, Xu Yong, Xu Lu and others, I'll say

It sounds bad. It's okay for them to do things, but they can't do it. After thinking about it, only cousin Xu Fu is the most suitable one. Everyone can do the errands here, but it's not.

Cousin Xu Fu, you shouldn’t. Cousin Xu Fu, it’s better for you to quit..."

Xu Fu hesitated: "What kind of business do you do?"
