Xian Ruxing has been traveling through time since now. If she had counted from the first time, she had known Zhu Houcong for five years. In the past five years, the two of them have been together all the time, but they also met every day. She had never been in contact with secretarial work in her previous life.
I think even the personal secretary is not as sad as myself.
In five years, she watched Zhu Houcan go from a little boy to a supreme emperor. It is logical that with her mind, she can understand the heart of the leader. But when he treats Zhu Houcan, the famous Jiajing Emperor in history,
Xian Ruxing found that he could never guess the other party.
Just like now, she doesn't know why the little emperor is so angry.
Zhu Houcong was so angry that he walked around the room. If he got close, he could even see the blue veins on his forehead.
"Your Majesty," Xian Ruxing tried to comfort her, "I know you are worried that someone will attack the draft, which will lead to the man whom you are destined to be manipulated. But as long as you need it, I am willing to supervise the whole process and will never let anyone interfere. I..."
"Enough!" Zhu Houguang shouted loudly. As a result, Xian Ruxing was not doing well yet. He was startled by himself and hurriedly said: "No, I'm not...ah!"
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Seeing the female Taoist priest's attitude towards his marriage, he felt a burst of evil fire in his heart, burning his brain to the point of being awake.
"I understand," Xian Ruxing nodded. It's just that he wants to fall in love freely. Speaking of which, the other party is seventeen years old this year. It's normal for him to fall in love at high school, especially because his parents have such a good relationship, which has set an example.
"But Your Majesty, as the lord of the world, you have to leave a heir for the stability of the country." Starting from Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty was unstable in the establishment of a crown prince. Hongzhi had a son, and he arrived at Zhengde.
At the age of thirty, he was empty under his knees, but in the end he was taken advantage of by Zhu Houcan. At that time, King Ning rebelled, and the biggest reason why someone responded was that the emperor had no son or half of his daughter.
Zhu Houcong thought she was going to say something, but it turned out to be a big reason for state affairs, so she couldn't help feeling a little wronged. She said "I know" and left in a hurry.
Xian Ruxing understood that the more nagging adolescent children became, the more rebellious they became, so they stopped doing other things.
...
In the early morning, accompanied by a loud noise, a large ship docked in Tongzhou Bay.
The boss of the boat went down the first time and said something to the officials guarding the shore with a smile. The officials were serious and scolded him a few words.
The boss of the ship was disappointed and took out the document from his body. Another clerk carefully checked it and stamped it on it.
The two people on the boat saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
One of the men with a slightly taller body and a little pockmarked on their face said, "I heard that the court has now strengthened the assessment of the administration of officials. I thought it was just a talk like before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"I'm anxious. This person is too lazy to move if he is not forced." A handsome young man sneered beside him.
Due to the ban on sea in the Ming Dynasty, canal transportation became the most important way of transportation to communicate between the north and the south. Every year, the grain and other raw materials collected in the south were transported to the capital through the canal. The Governor of the canal became one of the most important official positions. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the third
One of the governors of the canal transport finally entered the cabinet.
It is logical that such a large piece of fat meat in the canal transportation, even if some leaks out from the fingers, it will be enough for all participants to eat and drink, but in the end, it is a lack of human hearts to swallow elephants. The result of giving the fate of the empire to the canal is dozens of times.
Wancao Army was collectively dismantled. During the Zhengde period, a group of bandits in Shandong looted 1,500 ships from Jining Port, and the nearby officers and soldiers did nothing. This matter was spread to the court, and even Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but laugh.
Yan was furious and took some measures to deal with it, but this was ultimately a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause.
Soon, after Jiajing took office, he discovered that the grain transportation was corruption and deducted military pay. Jiajing was the most scheming person. On the surface, he refused to pay the memorials of participating in the grain transportation, and secretly encouraged other officials who had no interests to be entangled with it. Finally, one morning court
At that time, several small officials wrote letters at the same time, scolding the disadvantages of the canal transportation and demanding that the court lift the sea ban and use sea transportation instead of the canal transportation.
So many officials spoke together, and even if others objected, they would have to discuss it. However, after arguing, they finally found that if shipping was used, the cost could be reduced by at least half, so they stopped talking.
At this time, the officials in charge of the grain transport were also panicked and almost immediately launched an internal anti-corruption campaign. While revealing several corrupt officials, they also strictly enforced underground discipline. Now, not only food and wages, but also strictly recorded as long as they are ships.
Don't give any chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
"A little bit of movement, what if someone hears it? Zisheng, it's not that I'm talking about you, you can't be so straightforward in dealing with people, at least be more sleek." The tall young man instructed.
Xu Zisheng frowned and said nothing. In order to ensure the transportation of the water conservancy projects in the Ming Dynasty, all water conservancy projects were revolved around him. Whether in the south or north, there was no funding for any accident. When he was a child, he lived in Ningdu with his father. He saw with his own eyes that he could not repair it because he had no money.
The river bank caused the crops in the fields of ordinary people to be destroyed and tens of thousands of people were displaced, so they were naturally hostile to the canal transportation.
However, thinking of his friend's habit of nagging, in order to make him shut up, he deliberately opened the topic and said, "Study Zhi, what do you think is that?"
Looking along his hand, Liu Xiuzhi noticed that a group of people in the distance were constantly knocking on the ground with tools, and there were a lot of gray sand and gravels surrounding them that supported the mountains.
"I don't know, maybe it's something new. You don't know. Now the capital is like this every day. Take food for example. It was supposed to be a bit more southern food, but I heard that there was a Taoist Master Xian Ruxing who traveled thousands of miles a day.
Later, I brought back a lot of varieties from other countries, some of which were so delicious that I was shocked to my chin!”
"What do you care about this?" Xu Zisheng was amused and crying, "Brother Liu, we are scholars after all. Do you really believe that someone can travel thousands of miles a day?"
"I care about him," Liu Xiuzhi waved his hand indifferently, "I only know that the food is delicious. Also, I must tell you that although we take Qingliu as an example in our study, don't mess with you for the sake of becoming famous
Some people who should not be messed with, especially the Xian Xian Master Xian. I heard that a juren cursed Taoist Master Xian in the teahouse, but he happened to encounter His Majesty on a patrol in a concealed manner. He was so angry that he dragged him out to beat the board in the name of arguing about the government. Although he did not eliminate his fame,
But I don’t think there will be any development.”
Xu Zisheng is naturally not the gossiping person, but he couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this, "This Taoist Master Xian is so proud, are there no objections to the officials in the court?" As he knew, there were many ministers in the court.
Quite old-fashioned.
"Why didn't it? But the emperor didn't listen. In addition, the six officials of the cabinet and other officials seemed to have a good relationship with Xianshi Xian. Even if someone wrote a letter, they would be suppressed in the end." Liu Xiuzhi looked a little envious. If he did it in the future, he would do it.
If you can do this, you won’t have to worry about anything. “Actually, it’s mainly because Master Xianxian is capable. You know what kind of food and candy, and I’ve heard of it…”
Liu Xiuzhi lowered his voice mysteriously, "She has developed a technique that can not only prolong life, but also rejuvenate his strength. When we come, we will practice together."
Xu Zisheng's mouth twitched, "No need, keep it yourself." After that, he got off the boat.
Both of them are fellow villagers and are both Juren. This time they came to Beijing for scientific research. Liu Xiuzhi's uncle worked as a sixth-rank official in Beijing. He lived here for a while a year ago. After returning, he often took the capital.
People regard themselves as themselves. This time, they automatically acted as a guide.
After getting off the boat, they stood at the port for a long time, but the uncle who had originally agreed to come to pick him up did not appear for a long time. Liu Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed and hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Xu Zisheng smiled considerately, "Maybe it was because of the busy official business and I remembered the days wrongly. It's too late now. Why don't you and I stay in a nearby inn for one day and make plans tomorrow."
Liu Xiuzhi nodded quickly. Tongzhou Bay is close to the capital, and many people have to repair it here, including some high-ranking officials and nobles, so the inns around are expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. But this money is not the same for the two of them.
question.
After all, there were "poor scholars" in the Ming Dynasty, but there were no "poor scholars". When you get the exam, you not only have a large amount of tax-free land quota, but also the necessary living expenses provided by the court. If you don't want to go further, you can also become an official.
The department chose a small official to be a □□ official. In short, I will never starve to death in this life.
However, Xu Zisheng and Liu Xiuzhi's family were not rich, so they only booked one room in the end.
However, when Xu Zisheng was sleeping at night, he regretted it. Who knew that Liu Xiuzhi was snoring, grinding his teeth and farting! He was so quarreled that he had been stuck for half a night with his eyes open. Finally, he was confused for a while, but Liu Xiuzhi shouted and called him again.
stand up.
"Um... potatoes..."
Tu, your mother is over! Xu Zisheng looked at his sleeping friend and was so angry that he came. Seeing that it was dawn outside, he sighed and planned to go out to buy some Beijing breakfast after putting on his clothes.
Due to the fact that there have been many factories near the capital city in recent times, a large number of labor gaps have occurred, and many people are looking for work here, which has led to the small vendors around them to go out. As soon as the city gate was opened, it was already very lively outside.
Xu Zisheng walked around and saw Liu Xiuzhi's wolf-toothed potatoes, so he tried to buy one. After taking a bite, it turned out to be burnt and soft, with endless aftertaste. So he brought another portion to his friend and told him to add more spicy.
If he could squat in the toilet for a while, I might be able to make up for it today. Xu Zisheng thought to himself. He turned around and ordered the duck blood vermicelli soup and soup dumplings that were very popular recently. After successfully supporting himself, he planned to be nearby.
After rushing to digest food, he once again saw the people who gathered together yesterday.
I couldn't help but walk up curiously. The leader was a plump and gorgeous woman wearing a strange narrow-sleeved dress with Taoist patterns printed on it.
She looked at Twenty-five and sixty, without wearing a Taoist crown, and only had a bun, not dressed like a woman. Xu Zisheng was not sure about what his name was. He hesitated for a moment and said, "This person...
My wife, whose surname is Xu, is a single name, is from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. This time I went to Beijing to take the exam, and I noticed that you worked here yesterday. I wonder if I can tell you what you are doing."
Zheng Yao glanced at him and had to say that a person's appearance is very important. Xu Jie is only nineteen this year. Although he is not too tall, he has a fair and handsome face and a gentle and organized speech. Even when facing a woman like him, he is a woman.
, still very abiding by the rules, making people feel good. So Zheng Yao explained: "We are testing cement."
"Cement?" What is this?
Xu Jie was about to ask, but suddenly noticed that some place on the ground was different than the other side, which was flat and clean, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
"Hey? Why? I haven't done it yet, don't mess it up." Zheng Yao called him, looking displeased.
Xu Jie bowed his hand a little embarrassedly. He looked at the five or six people around him, and was too curious, so he took the initiative to buy lychee sugar water from the vendor and asked everyone to drink it, all of which was the previous apology.
After drinking the candy water, Zheng Yao's attitude was slightly better and said to Xu Jie: "If you really want to touch me, there is a crack over there, so you can play with it."
After hearing this, Xu Jie hurried over and after careful study, he understood the benefits of this thing. "If such a magical artifact is paved on the road, how convenient it would be to ride a horse in the future!"
"If you can't ride a horse, this thing hurts the horse's hooves. Not only the horse's hooves, but it's not easy to take care of any livestock when they walk too much. We initially planned to leave a special horse path." Zheng Yao explained.
At this time, Xu Jie saw that she looked at her with a little respect and said softly: "Madam is a craftsman in the capital?"
Although he was still a military craftsman at this time, the status of the craftsman in the Ming Dynasty was not low. Several ministers of the Ministry of Works were all craftsmen. However, they were discriminated against in the officialdom. In the eyes of ordinary people, a good craftsman was still very favored by the people.
Dear.
Zheng Yao shook her head and said to herself, "I, I am a craftsman who specializes in picking up craftsmen."
Because Xian Ruxing was appreciated, she entered Xia Yan's study class. She worked extremely hard on weekdays and became the first group of graduates. She then worked in R&D, engineering and logistics positions, but she performed mediocrely.
It's not stupid. In fact, Zheng Yao accepted knowledge the fastest, but it was a bit unsatisfactory to continue to learn more deeply. He could understand everything briefly and was very careful. He once had a quarrel with Miaole.
After getting up, she pointed out her 20-day mistakes in her behavior, which made Miaole so angry that she was half-hearted.
As a result, when Xian Ruxing found out about this, he called him to his side with some enthusiasm. After a patient conversation, the first professional quality inspector in the Leopard Room was honored to take up his post.
Zheng Yao doesn't rub sand in her eyes because she is too strong and often fights with others. She seems to have a natural gene for being serious. Today's leopard houses have to produce and develop many things every day. Taoists have never accepted professionalism after all
I don’t have much understanding of the science and engineering studies. I really can’t get over it anyway, but the things I make are often very rough. Now, because the rare things are expensive, I naturally don’t have to worry about sales, but Xian Ruxing is not very satisfied with this.
The quality inspector is destined to be a job that offends people, but Zheng Yao is not afraid. She finally found her place to use it. With her control, the quality of many production lines has reached a higher level.
Now the Leopard Room has even developed the original cement. Xian Ruxing was the first to ask Zheng Yao to take people to test. The reason why he chose Tongzhou Bay is that there is a large flow of people here, the original cement has good water absorption and strong corrosion resistance.
Suitable for this place.
Xu Jie looked at the dark pile on the ground, and liked it no matter how he looked at it. Suddenly, he looked up happily and said, "Since this cement can be laid on the ground, it can be used to build a house from time to time? The house built in this way is not afraid of the wind.
It can be used for many years if it hits the rain!"
"It's not bad," Zheng Yao looked at him in surprise, "The reaction was very fast, but unfortunately, no, Master Xian said, this kind of primitive cement hardness is not good, it is easy to get accidents when building a house, and even if it is paved, it takes three to five yuan.
Re-repair every year. However, judging from the profits obtained, this is worth it."
Xu Jie seemed to understand what she said to her, but she felt even more itchy. When he heard the other party mention Taoist Xian's name, he knew his identity. So he thought about it and then thought, blushed and leaned forward and said, "This lady, I
When I first arrived in the capital, I heard the name of Master Xian a lot along the way. Today, I have a brief understanding and yearn for you. Can I recommend it for a while? I still have many questions to ask for advice from him."
Zheng Yao raised her eyebrows and said with some amusement, "I said you nerd, you are so arrogant, right? The immortal masters of my family are all court ministers. Can you watch it casually? Aren't you going to Beijing to take the imperial examination?
, Let’s talk about it when the top top scorer is the day.”
Xu Jie also knew that his request was abrupt, but he was too curious, so he tried to speak: "I am the lower, the commander of Huating is Nie Bao, and the new boss of Wang Shouren is my master. That, he once fought against Ning Wang with Xianshi Master Xian.
"But one is in Jiangxi and the other is in Huguang...
Xu Jie had no choice. This was the most capable relationship on him. He had no hope at all, but after hearing this, the other party couldn't help but say "Huh".
Zheng Yao is now joining Qingfeng Temple, and is nominally Xian Ruxing's direct descendant. She often hears Xian Ruxing talking about Wang Shouren's talent. The court needs such a person to take charge, but she can't invite him. Now she hears that the silly boy is kinship with the other party.
Therefore, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Let's do this, I can't live without you for the time being. I'll write you a note first. When you go to the capital to find Fang Lingji's shopkeeper and hand it over to her. When the immortal master doesn't see you, it's not my end.
.”
Xu Jie nodded quickly, and then returned to the inn with the notes.
