When Ding Wei heard that Lei Yungong was coming, he was startled.
What kind of identity is Lei Yungong to visit in person?
There is only one explanation!
It must have been ordered by the officials!
Otherwise, Lei Yungong would not dare to come so blatantly.
Thinking of this, Ding Wei was very eager to know the purpose of Lei Yungong's visit.
"Where is Lei Goudang now?"
"Take me there immediately!"
On the way to the front yard, Ding Wei's mind suddenly surged with several speculations.
Could it be that the officials have some secret agenda?
In other words, the officials have not given up on themselves?
Power is a good thing.
It is more addictive than drugs, more fascinating than money, and more intoxicating than beauty.
Once you experience the feeling of having power, it may be difficult to go back to the past.
Even though Ding Wei had already prepared to lie down, when that moment came, he still felt a wave of disappointment in his heart.
Ding Wei couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought about what instructions the officials would have.
Being demoted or something.
Ding said he was not afraid.
What he fears is forgetting.
If you are demoted, you still have a chance to get back on your feet.
However, if officials lose their place in their hearts, that would be the most terrifying thing.
Ding Wei is only fifty-nine years old this year. For ordinary people in the Song Dynasty, fifty-nine is considered a long life.
But for people like Ding Wei, who are well-off and have no shortage of medical resources, fifty-nine is not too old.
"Lei Goudang's visit really brings glory to the house. Don't be surprised if I miss you from afar."
After seeing Lei Yungong, Ding Wei immediately changed his face, and his smile even contained a bit of flattery.
This is what Ding said.
A man is capable of bending and stretching.
Besides, Lei Yungong is a popular person next to the emperor. What's wrong with him?
If licking can bring you the position of prime minister, I will see if you don't lick the other person to death.
"I am flattered by Prime Minister Ding's kindness."
Lei Yungong also had a smile on his face, but there was a bit of arrogance and a bit of joy in his smile.
This point, of course, did not escape Ding Wei's observation.
Ding Wei suppressed the unhappiness in his heart for the time being, but still looked a bit flattering.
"Lei Goudang came to visit late at night, but there was a holy metaphor."
"Herald the official's oral message!"
As soon as he said this, Ding Wei quickly dusted off his clothes and bowed respectfully towards the imperial city.
"I will keep your hard work in mind."
"Today, I give you two choices. One is to know Yangzhou, and the other is to promote the two Zhejiang provinces."
Originally, Li Jie planned to let Ding Wei know about Yangzhou, but now he changed his mind.
Ding said he was good at managing money, which is a recognized fact.
The Shipping Department is one of the next key development departments, and since the Shipping Department is so lucrative, it would be difficult for ordinary people not to reach out.
Ding said he had good financial management skills and sent him to manage the shipping department, but he put him to good use.
In addition, there is no need to worry too much about corruption.
As long as Ding Wei wanted to return to the center, he would not dare to be greedy for ink. Not only would he not be greedy for ink, but he would work conscientiously and not dare to slack off at all.
City shipping department?
Hearing about this destination, Ding Wei couldn't help but feel doubtful.
A shipping company in Hangzhou, Mingzhou (Ningbo), with an annual income of only a few hundred thousand yuan.
What does the official mean by asking him to manage Liangzhe Road Shipping Department?
Demoting yourself?
But if I think about it carefully, something is wrong.
If officials really want to demote themselves, why should they give themselves a chance to choose?
This is obviously unreasonable!
After thinking about it, Ding Wei decided to test Lei Yungong's tone.
Then, Ding Wei made a vague gesture to the steward of the mansion.
After receiving the signal, the steward quietly left the main hall, while Ding Wei continued to negotiate with Lei Yun Gongxu.
Not long after, the steward's figure appeared again, with an extra small box in his hand compared to when he left.
He walked gently to Ding Wei, put the box down, and then the steward left again.
Moreover, the steward also took the maids in the hall away from the scene.
On the other side, Lei Yungong looked at the retreating maid, and then at the box in Ding Wei's hand. If he still didn't understand what Ding Wei wanted to do, then his life would have been in vain.
Pay bribes and find out!
Sure enough, Ding Wei's next move was exactly what he expected.
"Lei Goudang, I recently received a batch of new tea from my family. I have tasted this tea and it tastes good."
"Lei Goudang happened to be visiting recently, so I just happened to bring some back with me."
However, Lei Yungong slowly shook his head.
"Mr. Sir, we don't speak secretly when we are in plain sight."
"If you have anything you want to ask, sir, just ask. As long as you can answer it, I will definitely tell you everything."
Receive a gift?
That’s something you absolutely don’t dare to do!
When he thought that the chamberlain knew about Zhang Jingzong's fall, how could Lei Yungong dare to continue to take advantage of him?
Who is Zhang Jingzong?
The other party is Zhang Maoshi’s adoptive father!
Zhang Maoshi was the son of the wet nurse who mourned the crown prince (Zhao Zhen's direct brother), and Zhang Maoshi grew up in the palace when he was young.
What's the result?
Zhang Jingzong was found guilty of embezzlement, didn't he just take it down?
Zhang Jingzong's fall undoubtedly shocked the palace servants.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Zhang Jingzong is the reason, and Lei Yungong is the monkey.
Lei Yungong knows very well how hard-earned his current position is.
Must be cherished!
He will not take action until the rumor has passed.
Seeing Lei Yun Gong righteously rejecting the bribe, Ding Wei couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart.
What kind of medicine is being sold here?
Ding Wei clearly knew how greedy Lei Yungong was.
Can the opponent stop?
Even a sow can climb a tree!
"I dare to ask Lei Goutang, what is the purpose of promoting Liangzhe Road City Ship Division?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ding Wei finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
Anyway, this is it. No matter how bad the situation is, how bad can it get?
Lei Yungong smiled mysteriously, high-fived and praised.
"My husband has a really keen sense of smell, and he really hit the mark!"
"Please also ask Lei Gou for instructions."
Upon hearing this, Ding Wei immediately stood up and saluted Lei Yun Gong.
"I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it."
"My husband, if you are like this, your life will be shortened."
Although Lei Yungong said he could not do anything, his butt seemed to be firmly welded to the chair and could not move.
In the past, the majestic husband-in-law was actually groveling before him today.
Lei Yungong enjoyed this feeling very much.
After a while, Ding Wei slowly stood up, and it was only then that Lei Yungong gave him some breathing room.
"This matter is actually a long story."
"However, all I need to know is that my husband will not be harmed by this activity."
"This shipping company will be a hot commodity in the future."
"If I weren't busy with mundane affairs, I would have wanted to go to the shipping company."
"Right."
"One last message to my husband."
"If my husband can handle this matter well and return to the center, it is not an extravagant hope."
