Chapter three hundred and eighty first scenery back to Ya
But after Shen Ao's investigation, he found that Chang Hong was really capable. In addition, he had not had any deep contact with Zhao Yuanji since he came to the Zhongguo Palace. Obviously, his cousin introduced him because of face. There is no other personal relationship with this person, which allows Shen Ao to use this person with confidence.
Even if people can use it with confidence, and it is a talent, Shen Ao will certainly put it to good use, hence what he said just now.
"Do it well." After nodding to Chang Hong, Shen Ao left Daqian Bank and went straight to the Hubu Yamen.
Shen Ao will never forget that he has another identity, the head of the Finance Department of the Household Department.
A third-grade official position is already quite high. If it were someone else, he would have to go to the Yamen every day to show his existence and demonstrate his power and status. But this position is really not in Shen Ao's eyes.
He had no intention of becoming an official in the first place. The reason why he took this job was that the emperor issued an imperial edict and he could not resist it. The second reason was the establishment of Daqian Bank, which dealt with the Ministry of Household Affairs the most. With such a With a higher level of identity, it would be easier to do things, so he just took over the job.
Just like this time, he came to the Ministry of Finance not to show off anything, but to discuss important matters.
During this trip to the barbaric land, Shen Ao got too many healthy horses. He no longer had to treat the horses as treasures like before. The ox that used to pull the cart could finally complete its mission, retire to plow the fields, and do what it should do. As a result, two strong horses took over the job of the previous scalpers.
According to the regulations of the first concubine and the second scholar, Shen Aozhi was pulled by two horses. From a distance, he looked much more imposing than before.
With the two horses working together, the speed was much faster than before. In just one stick of incense time, Shen Ao arrived at the Hubu Yamen. When the gatekeeper on duty saw the carriage stopped outside, he saw the carriage stepping out of the carriage. The person in question was Shen Ao Shi, who was wearing a purple robe and official uniform. He sent someone to report inside, and at the same time came out to welcome him. He bent down and said hello in a very groveling manner: "Hello, sir."
Compared with when Shen Ao first came to the Household Department, he was not favored by others and was ostracized by many parties. Now Shen Ao has established a firm foothold in the Household Department. If nothing else, his three students now control the financial system. It is difficult for others to get involved in the Ministry. Except for Rui Butong, the Minister of Finance, who can ask about the affairs of the Ministry of Finance, even the government orders of Zuo Shilang Qiu Xu cannot be implemented there. How can such a powerful person not be taken seriously?
What's more shameful is that now the news has spread throughout the yamen and the streets. The young Duke defeated the many with less, and severely taught the arrogant barbarians in the barbarian land, forcing the other party to sign a truce and a treaty of friendly coexistence.
I don't know how many people have been "blinded" by such actions. Even if you have never seen the tyranny of barbarians, you will have heard of it. How can such a person bow his head so easily?
Even those veteran generals in the army couldn't guarantee that they could make the barbarians suffer and make them bow their heads. But Shen Ao, who was born in a new age, did it. This is not surprising.
When I think about the fact that he is only seventeen years old now, his beautiful life has just begun. There will be many opportunities to make achievements in the future. If you don't make friends with such people now, how long will it take?
Even if he didn't want to make friends, he couldn't afford to offend a person who could skyrocket at any time in the future. The doorman then hurriedly came up to him and flattered him.
"Well, are you here, Lord Shangshu?" In response to the concierge's enthusiasm, Shen Ao also showed an appropriate smile, making the other party feel like a spring breeze. "Yes, yes, Lord Shangshu returned to the Yamen after going to court."
"Okay." Shen Ao nodded, and then walked towards the Hubu Yamen with Xuefei, who was covered in white gauze.
In the past, people with official positions and status were not allowed to enter such an important place as the Ministry of Revenue. Xue Fei had to follow, otherwise someone would stop her. Just like when Shen Ao entered the Yamen in the past, she didn't bring her with her. Xue Fei.
This trip to Barbarian Land was a great success, and Shen Ao's status was invisibly improved. Naturally, no one dared to stop him from bringing Xue Fei to the Yamen.
The reason why he brought Xuefei with him was firstly because of the other party's request. Secondly, Shen Ao considered that because of the incident at Daqian Yinzhuang, he didn't know how many people he would be enemies with. Who knows if those people would do something secretly? With Xuefei by his side, those people must have had some ideas, but they couldn't succeed, so they asked Xuefei to accompany them.
Shen Ao and Xue Fei had just entered the household department when a group of officials came not far away, including some in purple robes, some in green robes, and many in scarlet robes.
The leader of the group of visitors was none other than Shen Ao's student Ning Feng and others. After receiving the notice from the concierge and learning that the principal and teacher was here, they naturally put down their work and hurried out to greet them.
In addition to the three students Ning Feng, other officials from the Jin Department who got the news also came out. Today's Jin Department has already been in an era where Shen Ao has the final say. If you want to get along better here, then You have to be in the boss's eye to have a chance to make progress. That's right, everyone rushed over just to leave a good impression on Shen Ao.
What's more shameful is that there are many disciples of Shen Ao here. They are all young talents from the household department selected by Rui Butong. They are currently learning arithmetic from Ning Feng and the other three. In total, Shen Ao is the master of arithmetic. A proud disciple.
These are just some disciples from the Jin Department. If disciples from other yamen also come, the number will only be even greater.
"Hello, my lord." After seeing Shen Ao, dozens of officials saluted one after another. Among them, Ning Feng, Ren An, and Su Zhen, who were walking in the front, had their eyes a little red and their faces looked excited.
The ancients valued their teachers' kindness far more than people today. Precisely for this reason, the three of them were very excited after seeing their teacher return safely. Even though they had met Shen Ao at the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion last night, they formally met in the Yamen. When I saw him, I was still very excited.
"Okay, you all go about your business first. I will see you later after meeting Lord Shangshu and listen to your recent work report." Shen Ao's eyes swept over Ning Feng and others with a hint of charity. Man, then he spoke softly like he was jaw-dropping.
Yes, there was a kind of charity in his eyes. Before this, no one could imagine how Shen Ao, just a young man, could show such a look in his eyes. But it really happened to him, This naturally has an important relationship with Shen Ao's two lives.
After receiving Shen Ao's instructions, Ning Feng and others knew that the teacher had something important to do, and they all agreed while bending down to salute. Then the dozens of officials quickly retreated, and they didn't know it. People had no idea that dozens of officials had been standing here just now.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of the porter, he was even more surprised. Duke Zhongguo was very powerful. He had only been in the Ministry of Husbandry for a long time, and he had already controlled the Ministry of Finance so tightly. I must have come back this time. It's what Lord Shangshu wants to ask Jin Bu to do. It would be very difficult without Shen Ao's consent.
Just as he thought of Lord Shangshu, the concierge discovered that Rui Butong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, was striding towards here from afar. If the direction he was heading was not Shen Ao, where else could it be?
This scene was so shocking that the doorman kept rubbing his eyes with an expression of disbelief and an expression like he had seen a ghost.
A minister is an official of the second rank. How many people are there in the Manchu Dynasty?
Not to mention the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who is in charge of the money bag. Even if you meet a senior official, you will have to pay three points. After all, if you offend the Ministry of Finance, you will get stuck in the neck. If you can't even pay your salary on time, who will be in the mood to do anything anymore?
In this way, Rui Butong's status seems to be very aloof. Often, even if a minister of the same level comes, he will not come out to greet him in person. It is a great honor to be able to stand outside the wing and wait. But now, Shen When Ao came, he showed up as a low-ranking official, and he actually stepped out to greet him. This was very shocking, and let the door officials clearly know that Shen Ao was not to be trifled with. I am afraid that if they see this Jin in the future, As the head of the department, he will only be more enthusiastic.
"I have met Lord Shangshu." Shen Ao naturally noticed Rui Butong approaching, but he was not surprised at all. He naturally knew what the other party wanted to do, and he must be taking advantage of the 20% benefit from the war. Come.
But no matter what, if someone comes out to greet him, he should respond with great enthusiasm. This is what people often say: two good things plus one good thing.
"Haha, there is no need to be polite. Duke Zhongguo has just returned from the victory. I'm afraid he is still a little exhausted physically and mentally. Why not rest in the mansion for two more days." Rui Butong walked over with a smile and stood next to Shen Ao, with a look on his face. Asked with concern.
People say that Rui Butong, the Minister of Household Affairs, was born with two faces.
When others asked him for money, he had a dark face, just like his name, and he was blocked.
On the contrary, when he asks someone for money, he will smile with him, which means he is as enthusiastic as he can be. He is absolutely completely different from the black face before.
Shen Ao had only heard about it before, but now he had truly experienced it. He had to admire it. Officials were indeed born to act.
"Replying to Sir Shangshu, I am young and full of energy. I don't need much rest to be full of energy. You are also valued by your majesty. As the head of the gold department, how can I dare to be careless in the slightest? How can I not go all out to repay your kindness? ."
"Okay, that's well said. Haha, Mr. Zhongguo is devoted to the country and is really a role model for all officials. Even so, why not go to a wing with me. Something has indeed happened these days, and I also want to hear about Zhongguo. My opinion." Seeing Shen Ao's beautiful words, Rui Butong also smiled. He would not believe that Shen Ao came here to fulfill his obligations. He must have something to discuss with him.
