Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

But now the most impossible thing has happened. Could it be that he is giving way to someone? Or in this exchange of interests, an agreement was reached? The most likely person is Zhang Ronghua!

The transfer of Chu Xuping made way for him, but the position of Shangjing Mansion is so important, among all the top three ranks, the power and gold content are definitely the greatest.

After Chen Youcai and Xu Xing, and with the team they have laid, he will be transferred there. After he takes office, he will not need to do anything. He will no longer have to struggle like in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He needs to open up the situation by himself and directly control the overall situation. By then, the Shangjing Mansion will and The Bachelor's Hall, the Lingyan Division, and the Fourth Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate became his back garden.

I and others can see it. It is impossible for the big people above not to see it. They should not allow such a thing to happen.

If not Zhang Ronghua, who is it? Who picked up such a huge bargain?

this moment.

Those who did not have a faction regretted it. Although joining a faction required doing things for the faction and bearing the consequences of the faction's failure, the benefits were obvious.

Once the faction wins and shares the fruits of victory, the position under the buttocks can move. If you don't see it, Chu Xuping's promotion is like riding a horse and galloping into the ranks of the second rank, which makes people enviable and jealous.

wrong!

There is also Chen Youcai, this guy has the fastest promotion speed, from Dongcheng county magistrate Gao to the current Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is an extremely human minister.

Chu Xuping obviously knew that he would be promoted. Although he was holding back to prevent the excitement in his heart from showing, he still couldn't control it, and it slightly appeared on his face.

After waiting for it all my life, it finally came true.

Coming out of the queue, he hurriedly bowed to thank him, and then retreated.

The transfer continued, and all the officials listened with pricked ears. Even the people in the military were not calm anymore. Looking at the scene in front of them, they wanted to get involved. If they want to be promoted, they must have military merit! Although there are small frictions at the border, there is no sign of a large-scale war, and we can only watch helplessly.

Wei Shang was very good at whetting people's appetites. He read out so many appointments in one breath. Seeing that the atmosphere in the court was getting more and more subtle, the curiosity of all the officials was aroused. He deliberately took a breath and delayed for a while before continuing to read out. : "Zhang Yaoshi was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and served as the left deputy capital censor."

Zhang Yaoshi, a third-rank minister in the Dali Temple, has been promoted to the second rank of the Imperial Procuratorate. He has sufficient qualifications and has worked in Dali Temple for many years, which makes sense. The only thing is that this person is the Sui Dynasty. People from the Sui family, it can be deduced that the Sui family took advantage of this confrontation, but the last court meeting fell into a tussle. After leaving Xiazhou, it's still a place where birds don't shit.

Who will take over the vacated position?

After he thanked him, Wei Shang's voice sounded again: "Li Daoran, the official of Jinzhou, was transferred to Dali Temple. He was promoted to one level and took over the position of pharmacist Zhang."

boom!

All the officials were shocked violently, and their faces showed disbelief. Li Daoran is a talented person. This time, he was promoted to a third rank, so who will take over the Jinzhou Tuiguan position he vacated? Could it be someone from their lineage?

As Wei Shang read out, no surprise, just as everyone guessed, the position vacated by Li Daoran was taken by someone from their group.

"Sima Ping was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, promoted one level, and appointed Right Minister."

The vacated position was taken by other factions.

Sima Ping is a member of Zhou Ge Lao, one of the five pavilion elders of Tianji Pavilion.

After a while.

The appointments were almost announced, and there were only two important people left. One was the seat vacated by Du Chengming of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other was Zhang Ronghua.

Up to now, the position of Governor of Shangjing is still vacant, and there is no one to take over. All the officials have already guessed one point, but they have forgotten one point. After he was captured, the position of the Hussars Army remained vacant, and some generals were constantly active and wanted to be promoted.

Don't look at it as just the third grade, responsible for training the Zhongtian Camp, the Fifth Division of City Defense, and the soldiers and horses transferred back from the border rotation, but the gold content is very large, and the position is very important. If you want to be promoted, it will be easier to be plated with gold.

The activities of these generals were all suppressed by the military, the Ministry of War and Tianji Pavilion.

Guessing in my heart, is Zhang Ronghua going to be transferred to the military?

With his current achievements, it is completely enough, and no one can find fault with him. Moreover, the previous series of transfers involved various factions, and a compromise was obviously reached.

patiently waiting.

Wei Shangdao: "Xia Chengming was transferred to the Imperial Procuratorate and appointed as the Imperial Censor!"

In Daxia whose surname is Xia, and who is still in court, there is only one possibility. The royal family, Xia Chengming is of the same generation as Emperor Xia. The signal coming out is huge.

Emperor Xia wants to personally control the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and hold it firmly in his hands. He will no longer let it go like before, it will go deeper, as if he is planning, some old foxes subconsciously look at the crown prince standing on the imperial platform from the corner of his eyes. , thinking a lot, is this paving the way ahead of time?

There is no doubt about Xia Chengming's loyalty and his ability. Once the prince takes over, he will become his most powerful supporter.

Inferring that His Majesty's health is about to fail?

Can't wait, want to make the situation more stable?

Suppress the strangeness in your heart, now is not the time to think too much, wait until you get back to delve into the secret behind it.

The highlight is coming, and everyone is listening attentively.

He only focused on the important positions, but forgot about the governor of the capital, the judge and the official. The three positions are still vacant until now.

Wei Shang announced two appointments this time: "Ding Yi was promoted to one level and transferred to Shangjing Prefecture as a judge; Tie Changlin was promoted to one level and transferred to Shangjing Prefecture as a judge."

The former is Zhang Ronghua's best confidant. He has been following him since the Bachelor's Hall. The two of them are in cahoots. Wherever Zhang Ronghua is, Ding Yi will follow him.

From this point of view, Zhang Ronghua should be transferred to the position of governor of Shangjing Prefecture. Although it is a heavy burden, it is still within the tolerance range.

Tie Changlin was the former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He has retired and has been walking on thin ice in the officialdom. He is cautious in the officialdom for fear of offending someone and being taken down. Logically speaking, without factional support, he will work in his current position until he retires. Or why did he get promoted after being hidden? I can’t figure it out! It's very confusing.

The officials felt relaxed. Even though Zhang Ronghua had gone a step further, being a governor of the capital was not enough compared to the achievements he had made. His mood suddenly became better, especially for the enemy forces and the princes. They felt that today The sunshine is very warm. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I would want to jump up and dance and celebrate properly.

Those who knew the inside story felt heavy because because of Zhang Ronghua, this confrontation had been postponed until now. Otherwise, the factions almost reached an exchange the day after Du Chengming was captured.

The memorial submitted by the officials to Tianji Pavilion was pushed back by the latter. Zhang Ronghua's position remained unchanged, and the transfer of others changed. Seeing that his appointment was still the same, Tianji Pavilion became angry and took action directly to move Zhang Ronghua's position. , and then presented it to His Majesty. This time it was Tianji Pavilion’s turn to feel uncomfortable.

Once the memorial was handed over, it was beaten back once.

Those who can enter the Tianji Pavilion are the best among the best. They know that the Ministry of Personnel represents His Majesty's will. In desperation, the five elders of the Pavilion held urgent discussions and discussed for a long time before they were forced to compromise.

After agreeing to the transfer based on Zhang Ronghua, he went back to the Ministry of Personnel and asked the Ministry of Personnel to come up with a suitable charter again. The various factions fought and compromised again, and only then did the current scene happen.

Wei Shangdao: "Zhang Ronghua comes out!"

"I'm here!" Zhang Ronghua came out of the queue, bowed respectfully, and stood obediently.

The officials guessed his move, so they didn't panic and looked sideways.

Wei Shang said in a deep voice: "During these days in the Fourth Division, you have made countless contributions, and you have also made things clear for the Procuratorate. You even found out Du Chengming and minimized the harm. Last time, you recorded your great achievements once and rewarded them together. He was promoted to one level and transferred to the Shangjing Prefecture as the Prefect and Commander-in-Chief of the Hussars. He was responsible for training the Daxia army and made more contributions to the country and the people!"

Wow~!

All civil and military officials were dumbfounded. What did they hear? Zhang Ronghua actually served as the governor of the capital and also served as the commander-in-chief of the Hussars? He is both a civil official and a military commander, and he is both a third-rank official!

The combination of the two would be too powerful, right?

It is simply a supreme honor to reach the sky in one step!

Everyone who doesn't understand understands why His Majesty has been suppressing Li Yuliang and others until now. No wonder this appointment involves so many factions.

If there were only one or two second-grade positions, Zhang Ronghua would not be able to hold two positions at the same time, but now is the time!

No wonder the five elders of Tianji Pavilion have been silent since the beginning of the court meeting, as if they were holding back, and their faces were very ugly. It turned out to be like this.

Want to refute now? It has been decided that all the factions will compromise. If anyone dares to jump out and make a fuss, Zhang Ronghua will not need to take action. These factions will join forces to kill him!

Those who break the rules will end badly.

In the end, Zhang Ronghua will still make the appointment as always.

Thinking of his age and the honorary positions of Zhang Qin and Zheng Rou, I felt envious and wanted to replace him.

Zhang Ronghua also didn’t expect that the reward this time would be so heavy!

Thinking of the old master's meaningful smile last night, I understood everything.

"I will do my best to make greater contributions to the country and the people!"

Return to the queue and stand where you were.

After this time.

Tomorrow they will go to court again, and the queue will also be changed.

After the rewards are awarded, the court will end.

After leaving the Ziji Hall, I looked at the sky. It was exceptionally clear. The sun shone on my body, making me feel warm. I felt happy. I took another big step forward. The next step was from the second level, which was not far from entering the Tianji Pavilion.

Let Ding Yi go to the Ministry of Officials to go through the transfer procedures first, and then go to the Ministry of Rites by himself. Some things still need to be clarified.

Got here.

Pei Caihua seemed to know that he would come, so he made tea and waited.

A conversation.

I learned about the process of this confrontation from Uncle Pei's mouth. When I left, I felt heavy that His Majesty had really taken great pains for him. After thinking for a while, he went to the Imperial Study Room again. Whether he wanted to or not, he was marked with "Xia Xia". The symbol of "Emperor" must express its position and unswerving support.

The officialdom is the most taboo, especially his high position.

By the time they left, it was already an hour later.

I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate again to explain some things, and then went to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to go through the transfer procedures, and received three sets of official uniforms, one for civilians and two for generals.

The pattern of the civil servants' official uniforms remains the same, it is still golden red, but a little more golden.

The general's official uniform is a set of regular uniforms worn when going to court. The appearance is similar, but the "beast" painted on the chest has changed. It is no longer "Qingluan" but "White Tiger". The other set is a battle armor. It's called "Bright, Brave, Loyal and Brave Armor", mainly in gold, supplemented by purple, depicting the pattern of mountains and rivers, as well as a matching sword and waist plate.

Whether it is the Ming Dan Zhong Yong Armor or the Heaven-Destroying Sword, they are all refined by the Ministry of Industry and forged hundreds of times. The former is tough, has strong defensive power, is comfortable to lean on, weighs nothing when worn on the body, and can withstand swords. Ordinary weapons and bows cannot break the defense when falling on the body. The latter is sharp, armor-breaking, and of a very high grade, even against upper and lower grade spirits. Treasure, it can hold on for a while and will not be damaged easily.

By the time the work was over, it was already afternoon.

Take Ding Yi to Shangjing Mansion. As for the Zhongtian Camp, wait until the things here are done before going there.

Standing at the door of the government office.

The location is different, and the state of mind is also different. When I came here before, I was just a passerby, finishing things in a hurry and leaving, but now I appear as the owner.

Tie Changlin went through the transfer procedures first and waited at the gate of the government office. The position was clearly laid out. This time he was promoted and transferred from the household department. To be honest, he was confused. He couldn't figure out why such a good thing happened. On his head, if the teacher (former left minister of the household department) has not retired, it may still be possible, but he has retired for several years, with no way to advance, and he is ready to work in the household department until he retires, or is transferred. Prepared, reality gave a huge surprise.

After the excitement, I calmed down and thought about the reason. I couldn't figure it out. After completing the transfer procedures, I took advantage of this gap to find the teacher as soon as possible and analyzed it and came to a conclusion.

After Chen Youcai and Xu Xing passed through the Shangjing Mansion, it became the back garden of Zhang Ronghua's faction and was firmly in their hands. It should be His Majesty's intention to go there this time, so that he could manage money and food and assist Zhang Ronghua. After all, he is a householder. Coming from a ministry background, this is what I'm good at.

Find out why.

The teacher warned him that this was an opportunity. Although Zhang Ronghua had many political opponents, the opportunity was also great. If he seizes it, he would be able to advance further! If you are afraid, you can hand over your power. With Zhang Ronghua's personality, he will not deliberately target him. No matter whether he makes meritorious service or falls down, he will not be implicated.

After thinking about it.

Tie Changlin made a decision and wanted to be like Chen Youcai, rising all the way up to the second rank or even higher. Even if there was danger, judging from Zhang Ronghua's actions to save Wu Jinxiu, he would protect him and get along with him. Yes, it’s totally worth the effort!

The most important point is that he no longer wants to fish in the water, be looked down upon by others, be contradicted by subordinates, and have to pretend that nothing is wrong, which leads to the current scene.

Seeing them coming, all the officials leading the government office came up to greet them, bowed and saluted: "I have met you, sir!"

In addition to them, the county magistrates, chief registrars and county lieutenants from the four county governments also came.

News of the court spread quickly. He knew that Zhang Ronghua had been promoted and was transferred to the capital. He thought of this terrible method to defeat Shangguan and now became his immediate boss. If he didn't show a positive attitude now, when would he do it again?

If his three fires are burned down, or some small tricks are used, they will be beyond redemption.

Chen Youcai and Xu Xing are the happiest people!

There is no need to do anything, just hug Zhang Ronghua's thigh tightly. This is the boss of their group. Now that he is in charge, he will be more confident in doing things in the future.

The scene in front of me was something that was expected.

Zhang Ronghua had already put on a new civil official uniform, with a sullen face. Everyone was breathless under the pressure of the huge official power, and nodded in response.

Walking towards the government office, everyone hurriedly separated a road and followed him into the government office.

lobby.

Sitting on the main seat, I spent some time, simply listened to their introduction, asked them to do their job well, and then let them leave.

There were only two people left, one was Tie Changlin, and the other was Governor Liu An. The former was not familiar with him, and the latter was Chen Youcai's absolute confidant.

Tie Changlin stood up from his chair, his posture was very low, and he did not dare to make any excuses. He expressed his position: "After I am dismissed from the official position, I will act as an adult!"

Zhang Ronghua guessed his reaction.

Ding Yi completed the transfer procedures, then went to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, met with Chen Youcai and Xu Xing, found out the situation in Shangjing Mansion, and investigated Tie Changlin. He had already told him on the way here.

In conjunction with the previous meeting with Emperor Xia in the Imperial Study Room, although His Majesty did not mention it, he secretly reminded him that the emphasis should be placed on the army and that Ding Yi was watching over the Shangjing Mansion.

If Tie Changlin is a smart man, he will naturally know what to do, and he will not know how to flatter him, or he may join other factions.

With a smile on his face, he said, "With Meng Qing's help, the burden on my shoulders will be lighter in the future."

Meng Qing is Tie Changlin's cousin.

Calling his name, sending out a signal, your trusted official agrees, and it will depend on performance in the future.

Tie Changlin was happy: "Sharing the pressure for the adults is the job of the lower officials."

A wise farewell.

Liu An hurriedly stood up and introduced the situation of Shangjing Mansion. With the capital as the center, the surrounding villages, small towns, etc. are all under its jurisdiction, including academies, military affairs, criminal prisons, public security, warehouses, etc.

Zhang Ronghua listened very seriously. As the Governor of Shangjing, it is the most important thing to figure out the authority.

Liu An said again: "My lord, what are your requirements for the office space of you and Ding?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "Prepare two new rooms."

"yes!"

Liu An turned and left.

Ding Yi said: "Brother, the government offices are under our control, and the four county offices below also have our people. They are almost like iron barrels. Next, where will your priority be placed with the army?"

He could guess that Zhang Ronghua was not surprised.

Take the Shangjing Prefecture as an example. In important positions such as government soldiers, third-class government officers, government prison cells, warehouses, and logistics, people who are either Chen Youcai or Xu Xing can be valued by them. There is no problem in thinking, and they can be used with confidence.

Tie Changlin has no faction, and he has defected to the army just now, clearly pointing his sword at the army!

"good."

Ding Yi was curious: "To what extent?"

I was thinking about this issue just now, and now I have some ideas.

The Hussars General Army is responsible for training the Zhongtian Camp, the Fifth Division of City Defense, and the troops transferred back from the Daxia border. In one sentence, as long as they are troops, they are all within the scope of training.

The position is very important. Seriously speaking, it is a bit higher than the position of the Governor of Shangjing Prefecture.

People who don't know how to train soldiers sit in this position. Once the trained soldiers are rotated to the border, it will be fine if a war does not break out. But once a war breaks out or a big war breaks out, the effect of the previous training will be reflected.

With good training, when the war comes, the army will be the god of killing. It can kill all the invading enemies and minimize the losses. It can also make great contributions, protect the territory of Daxia, and even crack the territory.

The converse is the same. The trained soldiers are a bunch of cowards with few abilities. Once the enemy gets a taste of the benefits and sees that they are not good enough, they will pursue the victory. At that time, it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated and the border they are guarding will be used as a breakthrough point. , drove straight into the belly of Daxia, burned, killed and looted, and obtained more resources, money and beauties.

An ordinary human emperor would not dare to put him in this position! It was only because of Emperor Xia's great courage and his dazzling talent that he could see this scene before him.

Zhang Ronghua said sternly: "Open the borders and split the soil!"

The situation of the army is relatively simple. It is not as complicated as the court. It is in the hands of His Majesty. As the commander of the hussars, he only needs to train the soldiers well, let them guard the border, and then harvest the enemy.

"This..." Ding Yi was stunned.

As if he had just met Zhang Ronghua, he stared at him and asked uncertainly.

"Brother, do you really understand the art of war, strategy and military training?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "I know a little bit."

Ding Yi understood what he was talking about, that is, the six-level skill is close to the Tao. He put down his worries and said with a smile: "I'm really looking forward to what kind of effect the soldiers you have trained can achieve."

Changed the topic.

"Want to get together tonight?"

Zhang Ronghua shook his head: "It's hard to drink together like before."

Ding Yi understood that the reason why he asked was because he wanted to give it a try. Nowadays, if they pick anyone out at random, they all have a high position of authority and must pay attention to the influence, otherwise they will easily fall into the trap of others.

Liu An came in at this time, saluted and said: "Sir, the office space has been arranged. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Zhang Ronghua stood up: "Lead the way."

Exited the lobby and walked towards the middle courtyard.

The front yard is a place for discussing important matters or handling cases, the middle yard is where government officials work, and the back yard is where the governor, judges, and magistrates stay. Although it is the backyard, it is very large, and there is room for three people. They are all separated, and everyone has a special large courtyard, with three entrances and three exits, and seems to exist independently, guarded by government soldiers.

Arrive at the middle courtyard.

Stop at the deepest, best location.

Liu An was very discerning and arranged the two people's offices together. Unlike the outer palace, which is a main hall, this place is just a courtyard, covered by courtyard walls and guarded by palace soldiers.

Entering the room, there are three rooms in total. The outer room is the hall, where guests are entertained, the middle room is the office area with desks and bookshelves, etc., and the inner room is the resting area, complete with beds and other items.

The floor is covered with expensive Qingluan carpets, the tables, chairs, beds, etc. are all made of century-old purple wood, and the tea cups are made of fine jade. Everything is valuable.

Ding Yi is a little bit inferior, showing Zhang Ronghua's "master" status.

Liu An asked: "Are you satisfied? Wherever it needs to be replaced, my subordinates will make arrangements for it."

Zhang Ronghua said: "That's it, no need to change. How did Judge Iron arrange it?"

"Almost the same as Lord Ding."

Zhang Ronghua nodded. Now that the Shangjing Mansion is under his control, the more it is like this, the harder it is to live up to the facts. The other party's official position is here, and it must have what it deserves, not to mention that Tie Changlin has surrendered.

He ordered: "Let them come over."

Liu An knew who he was referring to. There were a lot of people in the lobby just now, and some of them were from other factions. It was not appropriate to say a few words. This time it was a confidant.

Immediately ordered to go down, and the soldiers sent a message to the people below to come over.

The people who come are all Chen Youcai and Xu Xing's confidants. They must meet so that they can handle things and control the government offices and county offices below.

The county magistrate of Dongcheng County Government, the county captain of Nancheng County Government, the captain of the military school, the logistics chief, the chief arrester, etc. are all our own people.

Xicheng and Beicheng are from other factions. In addition, there are a small number of people in the government office who are also from other factions.

It is taboo in official circles to speak in public, and the higher your status, the more you need to pay attention to it.

"Talk" one by one, give them reassurance, and then ask Liu An to get the government's account books. There are some things that need to be understood in order to do things better.

Get things done here as soon as possible, and then devote your energy to the army.

Zhang Ronghua will not break the current situation. Shangjing Mansion is not his own back garden. He can arrange it as he wants. If all the remaining faction members are removed, even if the people behind them don't jump out, the officials will pretend they didn't see it. What does Emperor Xia think? Even if you believe him again and hold the entire Shangjing Mansion and the four county offices in your hands, what do you want to do? Become a "Tu Emperor"? Such a low-level political mistake would naturally not be made.

Even if someone jumps out from below, they will only be removed instead of letting their own people take the position. The positions obtained will be exchanged for benefits, exchanged with friendly factions, and benefits from other aspects. In this way, you can To avoid His Majesty's suspicion.

Zhang Ronghua was reading in the study, while Ding Yi was practicing outside.

Time passed and it reached its lowest point in a blink of an eye.

After reading all the account books, the government office has a general understanding. If I have to describe it in one sentence, I am really rich!

The amount of money on the account alone is about 300 million taels of silver, which is just over a month. Calculated on an annual basis, the money on the account in a year is about 4 billion taels of silver.

After thinking about it, it makes sense. When converted into a thousand-year-old soul elixir, it is only about 1,800 plants.

This is the capital, the administrative center of the Great Xia Dynasty. The population alone is more than one million households. In addition to regular businesses, restaurants, inns, goulan, salt, etc., there are also businesses such as elixirs, talismans, and exercises. The former only It can be considered average. The latter is very valuable and has higher profits. While these shops enjoy protection, they naturally have to pay taxes. In addition, they have to deal with "documents", surprise inspections, and eliminate evil cultivator strongholds. It is not surprising that they have such money. .

Do you really think that if you open a shop in the capital, you can sell exercises, elixirs, elixirs, etc. without having to apply for "documents" as long as you buy and sell houses? Officials are all smart people, no one is a fool, and it is impossible to let such a huge profit go unchecked.

The certificates were also manipulated.

For example, for martial arts, martial arts, elixirs, elixirs, etc., the government will issue a special "privilege management document". It is a piece of paper, specially made, stamped with the seal of the Shangjing Prefecture, and the content is written clearly. As long as the martial arts are operated, If you want to add one more kind of skill, you have to pay a large sum of money to expand the business scope of the skill.

Is this the end? It can only be said that it is too naive!

As the skills are added, you will naturally have to pay more taxes, and so on. If the relationship is not in place, you will not be able to get any money.

Think it's too expensive, don't you want to do it?

If you don’t do it, others will!

The public security in the capital is so good, the population is so dense, and there are so many rich people. No matter how much money the government collects, you can still make a lot of money without worrying about losing money.

Another point, and the most important point, is that after paying the money, if something happens to a serious businessman, the government will take care of it. If it can't, there are four major departments. With so many benefits, naturally you don't have to worry about others not being around. The business of "cultivation resources" is run here.

Excluding the daily expenses handed over to the state treasury and government agencies, including pensions, construction, etc., not much is left in hand.

Ding Yi came in from the outside, looked at the account book, and asked curiously: "Brother, is there a lot of money?"

Zhang Ronghua said briefly.

"so much?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Ronghua said seriously: "Less!"

Ding Yi was surprised: "More than three hundred million taels of silver is still less?"

"This is the capital city, with a population of one million households, plus many floating people from outside. How much money does this amount cost in more than a month?"

"Well...it doesn't seem like much!"

Zhang Ronghua said seriously: "It's not like it seems, it's for sure! It's not to blame Pingbo and the others. Although they were promoted quickly, they did not rule for a long time, including Chu Xuping. It was just too much, so he was transferred to other departments. The previous governors successively Death, with the current income, still has a good foundation. If it were another Shangzhou, if so many governors were replaced in such a short period of time, I might not be able to get even 100 million taels of silver."

"So, isn't your mission very heavy?"

The important thing is for sure. He holds two positions. Although he has great power, he can't achieve results. Those people who are watching secretly and the hostile factions will definitely jump out at the first opportunity and try their best to transfer him away. , or take one of the official positions.

Zhang Ronghua did not take these people seriously. As a parent official in the capital, he was in charge of the food, drink, and urination of millions of households. His first priority was to make them live a better life, with good food, good clothing, and enough money. Money can buy things you like.

These three points are easy to say but difficult to do.

It’s a big challenge, but he can’t beat it!

Smiled slightly: "It's okay!"

The familiar smile, the familiar confidence, Ding Yi understands it, and he is sure of it.

Zhang Ronghua asked: "How are you and Huo Ling doing?"

Ding Yi squirmed, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Except for that step, I have done everything that needs to be done."

"???" Zhang Ronghua was taken aback.

Looking at him suspiciously, he moved quickly enough!

It was just the last time we held hands. How long has it been since then and has it developed to this extent?

Sincerely happy.

"Your current official position is enough. Take the time to go to the Huo family and tell Huo Shoucheng that I will propose marriage for you in a while and finalize the marriage."

Ding Yi was startled and then filled with joy: "Brother, is it true?"

Don't worry, I added another sentence.

"Will it be too soon?"

Zhang Ronghua said with a smile: "You are the oldest and it's time to start a family. The Ding family still expects you to spread your wings."

"Thank you bro!"

Liu An knocked on the door and got permission to come in: "My lord, the lower officials have prepared a banquet, and the people below are all looking forward to your coming, do you see?"

Zhang Ronghua declined politely: "Tell them that they are all our own people. There is no need to engage in such nonsense. They should do their own responsibilities. I will host a banquet at the Platinum Courtyard and have a good gathering. As for tonight, there are still important things to do." "

"yes!"

Wait for him to leave.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Let's go!"

Arrived outside the government office.

Shi Bo and Ding Bo waited in their carts.

With a word of caution, pay attention to safety, Ding Yi complied, and drove away in his car.

Got in the car.

Zhang Ronghua gave an order, go to the East Palace, get into the carriage, sit on the slump, sighing, after so many things, he finally managed to make a good appearance.

Right now it can only be said to be the beginning, the army is still very weak, take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate secretly, and wait for the forces in the army to catch up, it will be considered really stable.

After a while.

The Tianji chariot stopped at the gate of the East Palace. In addition to Feng Jianxiu, Qing'er was also there. When he saw Zhang Ronghua's chariot stopped, his pretty face was tense and smiling, his jade feet were raised, and he stepped forward quickly. Shi Bo took the small horse in his hand and put it on the ground. He waited on the side and thought to himself that it was exactly what His Highness said. No matter how high his official position or how powerful he was, Qinglin would not follow the rules he should have. forget.

The car curtain opens.

Zhang Ronghua came out from inside, Qing'er stretched out his hand to support him, with a respectful face: "You are here!"

"Yeah." Zhang Ronghua responded.

This scene in front of me is not strange, it would be strange if I didn't do it.

It's like coming to the East Palace to visit the prince. The principle is the same. He is a person who walked out of the East Palace. No matter how high his official position is, it is reasonable and reasonable for him to come. No one will think it is inappropriate. If he doesn't come, it will be called a ghost. Isn't it with him? The prince broke up, or changed the court and other speculations.

He is now the Governor of the Shangjing Prefecture and the Commander-in-Chief of the Hussars. Although he is a third-rank official, his power is much greater than that of an ordinary second-rank official. He has even surpassed the six ministers. If the prince does not take him seriously, he can only say that he is not good at winning people's hearts. It's a little bit worse, and it will be very unfavorable in the long run, and the two sides will even break up.

Entered the East Palace.

I don't know if it's an illusion, it feels like everything has changed, Jiaolongwei, the maid, etc., are more respectful when they see themselves.

He glanced at Qing'er from the corner of his eye, and took a step back to highlight his dominant position. No wonder power fascinates people. People who walked side by side with him in the past are now in a very upright position.

Arrive at Xuanhe Hall.

Jin Feng clasped her fists in salute: "I've met Mr. Zhang!"

When she came here before, she was not like this.

Zhang Ronghua nodded and entered the main hall. The prince sat on the main seat, and Shuang'er stood behind him to serve him. The dark moon was hidden in the dark, protecting his highness.

Walking closer, he bowed and saluted: "I have met His Highness!"

The prince stood up, with a soft face and a happy smile. He adjusted his collar and said, "I know that with your ability, this day will come sooner or later. I didn't expect that you would be promoted to the third level so quickly."

"Without your training, I would not be here today if I transferred my ministers to the Bachelor's Hall!"

The smile on the prince's face grew wider. He sat down again and pointed to the upper left corner: "Sit."

"Thank you Your Highness!"

After walking over, Zhang Ronghua sat down.

Shuang'er served tea. The tea was Donghai Wanling tea. It had just been brewed, as if it was prepared for herself.

Wait until he has had his tea.

The prince reminded: "Now that your status is getting higher and higher, and you have more power, be careful with your words and deeds, and don't let others seize the opportunity, otherwise they will not let it go."

"I understand!"

"I have ordered people to prepare dinner. Eat here before going back."

"yes!"

The prince asked: "Why are you still at the eighth level of the Grandmaster Realm? Where is the elixir you gave me last time?"

Zhang Ronghua showed a bitter look on his face and showed a very helpless look: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm busy with official duties and neglect my cultivation. Even with the help of elixir, I can't go any further. No matter how hard I work in this life, I can still achieve a breakthrough." If you don’t reach the Grand Master, the Grand Master’s realm may be over.”

The prince understands this truth. A person's energy is limited. Zhang Ronghua has achieved such great achievements in officialdom, but in martial arts... let's not mention it! He comforted him and said, "That's fine. Keep your heart in the officialdom and strive to enter Tianji Pavilion as soon as possible, so that you can honor your ancestors and strengthen your family."

"I will keep this in mind."

Chatted for a while.

Dinner is ready.

Shuang'er asked the prince, and after getting the consent, ordered the maid to serve eighteen hot dishes, twelve cold dishes, eight pastries, and four soups, plus Tianqiong Yujiang, almost filling the table.

The specifications are very high, which shows that the prince attaches great importance to it.

Zhang Ronghua appropriately showed his sincerity and fear, and then stated his attitude. No matter what happens in the future and how the situation changes, he will definitely follow suit.

The prince was very satisfied, and it tasted even more delicious.

Finished the meal.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Ronghua took his leave and asked Qing'er to see him off. When he returned, the palace door was closed.

The prince sighed: "I have been waiting for each other with admiration for three days. I never thought that Qinglin would rise so quickly."

And doubtful.

What was the father's intention in doing this, and why did he let him also serve as the commander-in-chief of the hussars? Further consolidate their position?

Depending on the location you are in, the issues you look at are also different.

Not only him, but also other factions are also thinking about this question. Is the governor of the Shangjing Prefecture also serving as the commander-in-chief of the Hussars really just to stabilize the crown prince's position?

It’s not unexpected, it has great limitations!

Leave the East Palace.

Let’s go back to Fuguifang first. It’s such a big deal, so it’s unjustifiable not to go back. I stayed here for a while before leaving. When I left, my father sent me out of the house in person, which showed how happy I was inside.

Return to Zhuquefang.

Ji Xueyan was away and learned from Zi Mao that he would take Jixiatang's disciples out to perform a mission and would not be back for another two days.

Ma Ning and Ma Jing prepared the bathtub. Under their service, they took a bath and changed clothes. Afterwards, they lay on the bed and thought about their future development after going to Beijing.

If you want to increase the government's income, you must have pillar industries. Taxation, certificates, etc. alone are far from enough.

Profitable industries such as salt, tea, Jinzhou, etc. already exist, but even if you want to improve the quality, you can't. For example, salt, there are four grades of salt circulating in the market, including ordinary salt, refined salt, fine salt and top quality salt.

The former has no purchase restrictions and can be purchased by anyone from Daxia, and the price is cheap; refined salt is slightly expensive, far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and there are also purchase restrictions, mainly for wealthy families, ordinary restaurants, Goulan, etc.; fine salt, almost It is a "sky-high price". In the face of officials, the purchase is also restricted. There is a fixed amount every month, and the quality is also the best. The quantity of top-quality salt is the smallest, and there is no fault in the taste, taste, and appearance. It is not sold to the outside world and is exclusively for the royal family. for.

The same goes for other things. This road won't work, so we have to find another way to make money.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are inevitable for both ordinary people and cultivators, and they are also the most profitable.

Think hard.

A simple and effective industry, with long-term development, high returns can be seen in a short period of time. Wine bears the brunt, and everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people cannot do without it.

There are ways to drink with money, and there are ways to drink without money.

The government office has a wine shop that specializes in brewing wine. Judging from the information obtained from the account books, the "Changlin wine" brewed is not satisfactory. The wine-making materials used are valuable and the cost is high, but the wine cannot keep up. , not proportional to the cost, including labor, even if sold at cost price, it is still too expensive! There were only a few buyers, and they were selling at low prices. Even if the Shangjing family had a great business and a solid foundation, they could not withstand such consumption. The censors were like mad dogs, swarming up and biting them, biting off a large piece of flesh and blood. , so that brewing stopped for a long time, but the industry is still there.

If two kinds of wine are created, one is specially designed for ordinary people to drink, and the other is the lowest-grade spirit wine for wealthy families, once it is popularized and people try the taste and the price is affordable, a word-of-mouth effect will be formed and people will buy it. There will be an endless stream of people, and the money earned will snowball.

One leg is too thin for walking, two legs are more stable.

If you want to get rich suddenly, you have to put your thoughts on the cultivators. These guys are rich and generous. As long as the goods are good, even if the price is a little more expensive, they will buy them desperately.

Martial arts, exercises, elixirs, elixirs, spiritual treasures, demon materials, etc., the exercises are put first, followed by elixirs, then elixirs, etc.

Why are elixirs placed before elixirs? Firstly, elixirs have mild effects and secondly are not dangerous. You don’t have to go out to look for them and you can buy them with money. They have become the first choice for practitioners.

Without considering martial arts and martial arts, a huge profit will not last long. But for elixirs, if you create a medicine guide and use it in conjunction with the elixirs, the effect will be increased by 10 to 20%. As long as it is not too outrageous, practitioners will buy one. Identity is related to one's own strength. No matter how stingy one is, they will not save money in this aspect.

besides.

Whether you are an ordinary person or a practitioner, you will inevitably get injured. If you create a pill that can solve common injuries, including poison, it is not expensive. Who would not take a few pills with you when you go out?

No matter how high your cultivation level is, you are still afraid of sneak attacks, so be prepared!

With the direction in hand, Zhang Ronghua immediately took action.

I sat up from the bed, using my incredible talent to build models in my mind. With the accumulation of horror, plus the experience of creating "Qinghua Wine", I drank so much fine wine and spiritual wine, and deduced two new ones. Drinks are not difficult.

Ordinary drinks are mainly "strong". This kind of wine is very popular among the people below. The market is huge. Cost control is supplemented, so the deduction begins.

It's like a high-speed machine that removes materials piece by piece and then adds appropriate materials to ensure the effect.

The simpler things are, the more difficult they are. Just like in cultivation, from the great to the simple, when the realm is high enough and reaches a certain level, decay can be transformed into magic. Each move contains great power. The principle is the same.

But he couldn't help it, and it took him an hour to deduce it initially.
