Yan Ning asked Xiaoying to bring the gifts they brought from the capital back to the village and distribute them to everyone one by one, while she and Lin Xu walked side by side and whispered.
"Master Zhou is back?"
Lin Xu was very concerned about Zhou Changmin's visit to Beijing this time.
"Uncle Zhou has not come back, and he may not come back in a short time."
"Oh? What's going on? Is he going to take up a post in the capital?"
"No......"
Yan Ning shook his head: "After he came to Beijing, he went to see my grandfather and wanted to postpone the plan to convert rice into mulberry. However, it seemed that he failed in the end. Then, he wanted to seek the position of Minister of Rites, but he didn't do it for the time being.
Success. However, it seems that he no longer serves as the governor of Jiangsu, so he stayed in the capital and continued to seek the position of the Minister of Rites. I occasionally heard my father say that the chance of Uncle Zhou becoming the Minister of Rites is still very good!
I don’t know much about the specific situation, but that’s about it!”
"Um......"
Lin Xu nodded.
Through Yan Ning's words, he already understood Zhou Changmin's choice.
In fact, he expected that the policy of delaying the conversion of rice to mulberry would not receive the emperor's support. Since the emperor had already made it a national policy, how could it be easily changed because of Zhou Changmin's efforts?
?
Now that he has thought of this, Zhou Changmin can even think of this!
Therefore, this time Zhou Changmin came to Beijing with chess and a new spinning wheel to present to the emperor, probably not to delay the conversion of rice into mulberry, but to seek the position of Minister of Rites!
Yan Ning continued: "However, after Uncle Zhou presented the chess and new spinning wheel invented by you, sir, to the emperor, it is said that the emperor was very happy, especially chess, he liked it very much!"
"Not only does the emperor like chess, my grandfather, my father, and some of their friends also like chess very much!"
"My father said that if Uncle Zhou can become the Minister of Rites as he wishes, then chess will definitely play a decisive role!"
After hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
He originally gave the chess to Zhou Changmin, in order to stop Zhou Changmin from pursuing the matter between him and Yueyao. However, he did not expect that Zhou Changmin borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and presented the chess to the emperor, which in turn made him have a bright future!
But no matter what, this is a good thing.
If Zhou Changmin can become the Minister of Rites as he wishes, and then enter the cabinet as the Prime Minister, then Zhou Changmin should also accept this favor of his!
"By the way, sir, before I came, Uncle Zhou had a special chat with me and asked me to bring you something."
"Really? What message did Mr. Zhou ask you to bring me?"
"Uncle Zhou said that converting rice into mulberry is a pool of muddy water with no bottom! No matter who persuades you, no matter how big the benefits are, don't touch it! Not only don't touch it, but you also have to stay away from it.
Far away!"
Yan Ning lowered his voice and said.
Lin Xu nodded solemnly, thinking that Zhou Changmin was really a smart man, and he was also very decisive. Knowing that the matter of converting rice to mulberry was untouchable, he ran away without hesitation, without any hesitation at all!
In addition, he can let Yan Ning bring these words to him, which shows that he still has affection and justice for him!
Of course, this cannot be ruled out. He only brought these words to himself for Yan Ning's sake. This chapter has been completed!
