"Definitely, I don't know, your majesty doesn't make promises easily, but once you say it, it's certain. For example, the Lu family, isn't it just because they gave away a young lady? Now, isn't Mr. Lu the minister?"
The emperor is very reliable in this regard. If he says he will serve as an official for you, he will do so.
Zhou Fang suddenly felt hot in his heart. If Zhou Chaozong was just a small official with no future, he would be sure to get Zhou Chaozong back. But, Shangshu Ling.
Even if it is a ministerial order from Qingshui Yamen like the Ministry of Rites, it is still a ministerial order.
Has the Zhou family ever issued a ministerial order?
After thinking about it for a while, the Zhou family's current official position outside, the highest is a prefect, which is the same grade as Zhou Chaozong, the same fifth grade.
But Zhou Chaozong was an official in the capital, and he had the minister promised by the emperor, so he was a second-rank minister!
There is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave of the old Zhou family. How can it be okay if no one from a very wealthy family can serve as an official?
At this moment, Zhou Fang had decided that for the sake of Zhou Chaozong's future, it would be better to let those southeastern wealthy families die.
Who can produce a Shangshu Ling?
"Uncle, are you coming to the capital for business this time?"
Just as he was about to nod his head to admit it, Zhou Fang immediately shook his head: "The main thing is to see you. Everyone was very angry when I received your letter at home. The clan wants you to go back, but Chaozong, you don't have to pay attention to them and work hard for the emperor. At home,
I am responsible for everything. If anyone dares to hold you back, I will kill them."
It’s different, it’s completely different.
Zhou Chaozong also knew that his future had made Zhou Fang change his mind. How could a wealthy family doing business have a wealthy family that could serve as an official?
Anyone with a brain can figure it out.
Zhou Fang was very clever: "This time the southeastern merchants plan to unite to make the emperor look bad. Chaozong, please tell your majesty to be careful and prepare in advance."
Zhou Chaozong smiled slightly, Zhou Fang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Chaozong's reaction: "Your Majesty knows?"
"Of course!"
"Your Majesty is really wise." Zhou Fanggong cupped his hands and said, "I will give these supplies from my family to Your Majesty, and you should also tell me about them!"
"Okay!" Zhou Chaozong was very satisfied and there was no need for him to waste his words.
After saying that, Zhou Fang rubbed her hands and said sheepishly: "Now that you can see His Majesty, I wonder if you can also find an official for me? It doesn't need to be too big, just be able to manage a few people!"
"It's a small matter, uncle, if you don't mind, how about Shang Fang Mansion."
"Although Shangfang Mansion is not bad, it is not a serious government office."
"Tobe?"
"how?"
"It's a small matter, how about working under my nephew!"
I am your elder, and it would be shameless to work under you.
Zhou Chaozong said: "From the sixth rank of Yuanwailang, if your uncle is willing, I can arrange it now. If your uncle wants to go to another department, I will have to move around a lot. At most, I can only arrange a small official for your uncle!"
"
"How small?"
"Eighth-grade junior official!"
Is the difference that big?
Zhou Fang's face suddenly twitched: "Why is the gap so big, but you are not sincere?"
"Uncle, I am only a fifth-grade official now. If I want to arrange a good position for you, I need to ask for help. You also know that asking for help may not be successful. It all depends on other people's faces."
This is true. Zhou Fang nodded and understood it very well.
"But if you come to me, I can give you a high position. I am in charge of the national debt department that your majesty has promised me. Don't I know my uncle's talents well? He is also a good reader of poetry and books, but because his family does not let him
You take the imperial examination!"
Everyone's situation is the same.
Zhou Fang said: "The old people at home love the eldest son. Only the eldest son can be an official. Are we going to die waiting for a cure? Fortunately, I have you."
"Then uncle will come to the Treasury Department. As long as the errand is done well, it is normal for Your Majesty to see you. This Treasury Department is appointed by His Majesty. I have never seen an emperor appoint a treasurer. His Majesty values it very much!"
Yes, yes, that's the truth.
When the emperor had enough to eat and had nothing to do, he set up a headquarters. This kind of thing was done by the minister.
Since it was appointed by the emperor, it must be put to great use in the future.
Get a good position now. When the National Debt Department becomes independent from the Ministry of Accounts in the future, it will definitely be upgraded. You don’t have to do anything, and the official position will be automatically upgraded.
My nephew still feels sorry for me. As for the wealthy people in the southeast, let them die. Don't delay my promotion.
"I'll just listen to you, the Department of National Debt."
"Okay, my nephew will report his identity to you now. You can just find a time to report to the Ministry of Personnel."
"So...simple?"
I can't believe what you did like this. Being an official should not be arranged by the Ministry of Personnel. Is this order wrong?
Zhou Chaozong said: "I have the final say in this National Debt Department. Who I use will be registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They can't interfere!"
After Zhou Fang heard such domineering words, she was really a little afraid of Zhou Chaozong. This nephew really did have a bit of the magnanimity of a minister.
He didn't say much. After waiting for a while, Zhou Chaozong wrote the petition and used his official seal!
"Uncle, after taking it, just go back and show your face to the official department!"
Zhou Fang carefully filed the lawsuit. Damn it, is it so easy to be an official? Sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to get things done.
After collecting the petition, Zhou Fang said: "You should also get along well with others in the court. Don't be reluctant to give up money. If you are short of money, just tell me and I will find a family to get it for you. You will be the minister."
It’s good for the whole family, and if anyone in the family disagrees, I’ll make them look good.”
"Uncle is so kind to me. Since uncle is here, let's get some shuttles back."
"Who wouldn't want to, but Shang Fangfu..." Halfway through his words, Zhou Fang realized that if others couldn't get the shuttle, how could he not get it?
Merchants all over the world are begging Shang Fang Mansion to buy a shuttle, but they don’t need it themselves.
"Hiss... Chaozong, do you have the goods?"
"Of course."
"Ah, now that my Zhou family has become prosperous, it is hard to find a flying shuttle. Now the price of a flying shuttle has skyrocketed. Even the most common small flying shuttle costs 80,000 on the black market.
, the heavy-duty shuttle is even more rare!”
"How about I give my uncle a hundred heavy-duty shuttles?"
"How beautiful!"
"Uncle, you can pick it up and sell it to the wealthy families in the southeast!"
"Wouldn't it be better to support your own household and have a steady stream of wealth?"
"Uncle, if you want to run a workshop, you still need to get through, but with this resale transaction, you can make quick money, but I want 80% of the income!"
"It's too much!"
"For His Majesty!"
"Ah, this matter is actually an imperial mission. Then how can we make money? We should be loyal to His Majesty and not give up a penny!"
Zhou Fang hurriedly said, it’s just that you’re enlightened.
He was working for the emperor. How could he make money? Of course he couldn't!
Your Majesty is wise.
At this moment Zhou Fang felt that she was very close to the emperor.
