Hearing this, several officials became nervous, straightened up suddenly, and saluted in unison: "Your Excellency, Lord Shangshu."
The man standing in front of them was probably over fifty years old, but he still looked very strong. He was wearing a purple official uniform, had a Chinese character face, and a very bushy unibrow. He smoothed his beard and looked at the few coins placed on the armrests of the corridor.
A piece of silver, he asked doubtfully: "Since you are betting against each other, why do you put the silver together?"
Wang Hongzheng hurriedly laughed twice and stretched out his hand to get his money back: "Hey, the subordinates are joking!"
But before his hand even touched the silver, he was slapped away by Chen Jue.
"All the bets have been made, so I count as one. Since you all bet on one side, then I will bet on the other side. There are several of you, one, two, three... seven of you, so I will bet seven coins.
"After saying that, Chen Jue took out seven copper plates from the money bag at his waist and put them on the other side, then asked: "What's the bet about?"
The officials looked at each other, and Wang Hongzheng quickly recounted what happened that morning.
After listening, Chen Jue raised his head and sighed: "Oh? Young boss? Isn't this a good thing? Ningguo's future depends on these young people!"
Wang Hongzheng sighed, being young is a good thing, but that boy is too arrogant, and the burden of agricultural reform is on the Tuntian Secretary. Chen Zehan will definitely not let the boy named Tang stay, but then again, why are those two people still there?
Not out?
There seems to be no movement in the government office!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Will something happen to Mr. Chen?"
Several officials recalled Tang Ji's arrogant tone and arrogant attitude. If he was given trouble, he might really hit Chen Zehan. After looking at each other, they hurriedly walked towards the government office opposite.
Looking at their eager backs, Chen Jue shook his head: "This is the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Who is not afraid of death?"
After saying that, he followed him unhurriedly.
Soon, Wang Hongzheng took the lead and opened the yamen door: "Mr. Chen, are you okay? Chen..."
Halfway through his words, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he forgot what to say. He saw Tang Jizheng sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a teacup in his hand, and a figure stood beside him, a little groveling, but his lips were grinning.
It reaches the root behind the ear.
The other people also rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and after making sure they were not dazzled, they all looked suspicious.
Is Chen Zehan possessed by something evil?
Or is there something unclean about this kid?
The doctor from the Ministry of Water took a small step back, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked softly: "Chen, Mr. Chen, if you are threatened by this kid, just blink!"
Chen Jue stood behind the crowd and was a little surprised when he saw this scene. His Majesty would not select officials for no reason, which showed that the other party was somewhat capable, but now it seemed that he had underestimated this young man.
Being stared at by so many people, Tang Ji quickly adjusted his sitting posture, turned around and said with a smile: "Let's just say that much first. Agricultural reform is a major event, and it must be achieved step by step, step by step."
"Yes, yes, Master Tang is right." Chen Zehan replied with a smile.
Your Majesty really has a keen eye. With such a powerful person helping him, the agricultural reform will be easy. However, how can this boy know so many things at such a young age? Could it be that he learned farming in his mother's womb?
Already?
Chen Zehan put the agricultural reform strategy he had just recorded with pen and paper on the table. When he turned around, he realized that there were so many people gathered in the government office. He scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "My lords, are you okay?"
Several officials still stood there with big eyes open, but Chen Jue from behind laughed out loud: "Hahaha, it seems that I am going to get dozens of taels of silver for nothing!"
Chen Zehan reacted quickly, raised his hands and saluted: "Master Shangshu."
Immediately, he introduced to Tang Ji: "Master Tang, let me introduce to you. This is the head of our Ministry of Industry, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Jue Chen Shangshu."
Tang Ji nodded slightly. This person would be his immediate boss from now on, so he had to be more respectful. He quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Tang Ji, the head of the Tuntian Department, has met the Lord Shangshu."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. We are the boss. We are the Ministry of Industry, not a den of thieves." Chen Jue glanced at Chen Zehan with a strange look, then walked to the desk, picked up the notes on it and briefly looked through it.
After a few glances, he immediately turned his attention to Tang Ji, nodded repeatedly and said: "It seems that your Majesty has given me a treasure in the work department!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought this guy was also a freak, so he replied with a smile: "Your Excellency, that's ridiculous."
"Hey, there is no need to be humble in my work department. Work hard." Chen Jue stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, then walked towards the outside of the government office. When he reached the door, he left again and patted his head:
"Look at my memory, Mr. Zhang. I am willing to admit defeat and give me the money!"
"Oh." The doctor from the Ministry of Water hurriedly handed him the gambling money that several people had staked.
Chen Jue counted the numbers and frowned slightly: "Where are the seven more articles?"
The doctor in the Ministry of Water wanted to cry but had no tears. The Lord Shangshu was good at everything, but he loved to care about money, especially when it came to money. He shook his head and handed over the seven copper plates in his left hand.
After Chen Jue confirmed that it was correct, he put all the money into his purse and planned to have an extra meal tonight. He hummed a little song and walked out of the house. As soon as he left the room, he turned back and reminded: "Mr. Chen, don't patronize me."
Let Mr. Xiao Tang do the work for you, first take him around to get familiar with the Ministry of Works."
"I obey my orders," Chen Zehan replied.
A moment later, after Chen Jue left, everyone present looked at Chen Zehan with extremely resentful eyes.
Wang Hongzheng took a small step and stared at Chen Zehan: "Master Chen, have you discussed it with Master Shangshu?"
"What are we discussing?" Chen Jue asked back. Seeing that the other party didn't reply for a long time, he didn't wait any longer. He turned to Tang Ji and said, "Master Tang, let's go. You must be bored after staying in the government office for so long. Let's go out.
Turn around.”
"Please, Mr. Chen." Tang Ji replied politely.
Immediately, the two of them walked towards the door of the room together. As soon as they took two steps, Chen Zehan was pulled back by the doctor from the Ministry of Water, and he replied impatiently: "Master Zhang, what do you want to do?"
"Master Chen, do you plan to keep this kid here?" Zhang Langzhong asked, blinking his eyes.
Chen Zehan waved his sleeves and shook off his hand, snorting softly: "Sir Zhang, Mr. Tang is the head of the Farming Department appointed by His Majesty, and the strategies he proposed played a very crucial role in this Agricultural Reform Conference. Of course I will not
Will drive him away!"
After saying that, he took Tang Ji away directly.
The doctor from the Ministry of Water looked at the backs of the two of them, and felt a little distressed when he thought that his money was taken away by Lord Shangshu. This was the private money he had saved for half a year. He couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of ecstasy soup did this boy give to the man named Chen?
"
The next second, Wang Hongzheng's voice came from behind: "I am convinced that I have lost this money!"
Immediately, everyone's eyes focused on him, and they saw Wang Hong looking through the notebook attentively. Several people quickly gathered around. After browsing, their expressions changed slightly, and they spoke one after another.
"This, is this kid really that powerful?"
“Each strategy addresses current farming challenges.”
