Chapter 143 Husband, please work hard (Subscription required)
Think about it for a moment.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "According to this calculation, quite a few people will go to Beijing."

Then, he looked at Xu Wei with deep eyes.

The second brother Yan Hu's coming to Beijing might just be a casual move by the old man.

Zhang Guoxiang is now trying to reserve a position in the palace.

On the contrary, Yunniang is not important to Yan Shaoting.

Even the so-called fact that Yunniang had connections with the business circle left behind by Yang Jinshui and Shen Yishi in Zhejiang was not important.

Is it important to Yan Shaoting?

It's just a hint to the outside world, and naturally countless people will come when they hear the news.

He just wanted to confirm whether this Yunniang had that so-called blood meridian in her hand.

as well as……

It seems that Old Xu has been widowed for many years.

Being stared at by Yan Shaoting's gloomy eyes.

Xu Wei always felt that he seemed to have been plotted against.

He then took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting took the paper and opened it.

Every piece of paper was filled with names.

Behind each name is the official position they currently hold, as well as their support and background in the court.

Yan Shaoting narrowed his eyes. He saw many familiar names: "Are you all here for the quartermaster vacancy?"

Xu Wei nodded and said, "I have not yet reported the things that have been sent to me in the past few days. I am waiting for nothing new to be sent to me before I bring them all here."

There is a large shortage of quartermasters nowadays, so naturally all parties want to get a piece of the pie.

Now that Yan Shaoting is not in Beijing, these people came up with this idea.

Yan Shaoting snorted, "They are not afraid that I will send this thing to the Wanshou Palace."

The Taoist priest has finally moved back to his beloved Wanshou Palace.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "In the officialdom, these kinds of personal connections have always been the norm. Today you help me with something, and tomorrow I will help you with something. Even if I don't help, I won't break this window paper. In short, it's all for a better meeting in the future."

To seek official position and buy title.

It is always interdependent with selling official positions and titles.

Yan Shaoting sneered in his heart.

Do they think they are a strict party?
Xu Wei was waiting for Yan Shaoting's instructions.

In view of his observations of Yan Shaoting during this period, he did not think that the other party would arrange military supply vacancies for these people according to the lists sent over.

Naturally, he is now waiting for the arrangements made by his new boss.

Yan Shaoting didn't let Xu Wei wait too long, but smiled and said, "Since they have sent the note, we can't let them wait forever, right?"

Xu Wei looked at the smile on Yan Shaoting's face and smiled knowingly: "Of course we can't let him wait forever. If we tell others, it will be said that our Yan family doesn't know the rules and doesn't care about face, which is disgraceful."

Yan Shaoting laughed: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Wenqing to write the reply letter and send it back to the relevant places. I'll host a dinner at Fangchunlou in South City tonight and invite everyone to have a drink!"

Xu Wei bowed and accepted the order.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the academy.

Zhou Goudan and Ma Xiaoer were now responsible for the donkey rental business outside the academy. They hurried forward to tie up the donkey.

Xu Wei took out ten copper coins from his sleeve.

Ma Xiaoer was about to reach out his hand but was stopped by Zhou Goudan.

Ma Xiaoer turned to look at Goudan, a puzzled look on his face.

Xu Wei was also curious: "What's wrong? According to the rules of our academy, you can't eat and drink for free. This money should be taken by you."

Zhou Goudan's face turned a little red. He looked at Xu Wei, then at Yan Shaoting who also looked curious.

But the child just doesn't speak.

resignedly.

Yan Shaoting said, "Once the rules are established, they must be followed. Even I cannot break the rules. Your Master Yan is now the most disciplined person in Beijing!"

Ma Xiaoer also nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Goudan's face flushed red. He took out a sign from behind him and placed it in front of Yan Shaoting and Xu Wei.

Xu Wei asked curiously: "What is this? Let me see..."

"Hahahaha!"

After seeing clearly what was written on the sign, Yan Shaoting suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhou Goudan, on the other hand, lowered his head and spoke in a depressed tone.

"Six cents a time. No bargaining."

"Master Yan and Mr. Xu are two donkeys."

"A total of twelve coins..."

This time, it was Xu Wenqing's turn to blush.

His face flushed, and he glared at Zhou Goudan: "Can you speak, sir? How can I be a donkey?"

Yan Shaoting was already laughing out loud.

Xu Wei turned around with a red face and said, "Master, this kid also scolded you."

This time.

Yan Shaoting stopped smiling too.

He glared at Goudan with a stern face, then looked at Xu Wei.

"Mr. Wenqing, you'd better pay out another two cents. If you don't, this kid will spread the word that you and I are donkeys to everyone in Changping."

Zhou Goudan also raised his head at this moment, his little eyes wide open.

"Mr. Xu, this is the rule!"

Xu Wei gritted his teeth, angrily stuffed his hands into his sleeves, and ripped them out a few times viciously.

Then there was no movement.

Zhou Goudan tilted his head and asked doubtfully, "Sir, are you going to default on your debt?"

Xu Wei looked up at Zhou Goudan and stomped his feet hard.

He said nothing, but turned to look at Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Wenqing really wants to default on his debt?"

Xu Wei was annoyed for a moment and turned to look at the sky.

Then he was filled with grief and indignation.

"No money!" Zhou Goudan frowned, "Master Yan and Mr. Xu said that no one can break the rules, even if they have no money."

Xu Wei was truly angry and ashamed.

I never thought that one day I would be troubled by just a penny.

"If you have money, you will have money!"

"It's just a matter of two cents. I have it!"

Just when Xu Wei was about to ask if he could owe it to him first in exchange for his old face and pay it back later.

There was a shout in the distance.

Zhou Yunyi was seen leaning on a crutch and jumping down the hillside at a very fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived outside the donkey shed under the academy.

Zhou Yunyi was covered in dust and his face was black. When he arrived at the donkey shed, he hurriedly took out two copper coins and stuffed them into Zhou Goudan's hand.

"Now we are all set, go cut some grass and feed the donkey."

Received money.

Zhou Goudan did not leave, but took Ma Xiaoer with him.

The two of them behaved very well and actually bowed to Yan Shaoting, Xu Wei and Zhou Yunyi with the etiquette of a disciple.

After the ceremony, the two of them skipped off to cut grass for the donkeys.

Zhou Yunyi smiled and bowed to Yan Shaoting and Xu Wei.

"Reader, Mr. Xu."

Yan Shaoting nodded and kept Zhou Yunyi's appearance in mind.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "The Supervisor is really working hard now. The tutor just told me that when the sweet potatoes are harvested before winter this year, if the yield is good, I will ask for merit for the Supervisor in front of the emperor."

Zhou Yunyi was delighted when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head and said, "I am already satisfied to be able to follow you, sir, and do something practical for the people.

All these sweet potato seedlings can be planted today. Then the students will lead the people to build the dam behind the mountain. When winter comes, they can bring people to clear and dig all the ditches in Changping again.

In some places, it's still not straight enough, and the depth and width are still different.

In some places, the old ditches are still being used, and they have fallen into disrepair and are in a state of disrepair.”

Xiao Zhou talked on and on.

Xu Wei smiled. He felt that everything he saw since arriving in Beijing was different from what he had imagined.

Everything here in Changping has never been seen in other places in the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Shaoting looked at Zhou Yunyi's leg that was broken because of him.

He said, "It's commendable that you are willing to do things yourself. But you should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. I heard that you always give all the meat to the children? That's not okay. They have enough to eat."

Zhou Yunyi nodded repeatedly, but explained: "The children have always suffered too much in the past. Because of their family background, they have never experienced these things. Now they understand the suffering of the people."

Yan Shaoting nodded.

In fact, letting Zhou Yunyi be his student was just a temporary decision at the time.

It is true that he can see these things clearly himself.

The three of them had a brief discussion about some of Changping's current plans.

The only thing we need to do is to continue building factories, planning fields, and thinking about how to make Changping's business bigger and stronger.

After a conversation, Yan Shaoting left Xu Wei and Zhou Yunyi alone and returned to the Yan family villa behind the academy.

Entered the backyard.

It is rare for Sister Lu to stay at home.

She has been busier than Yan Shaoting recently.

He spent the whole day taking care of various things with the women of Changping.

Raise chickens, ducks, sheep and cattle.

They were also busy coordinating the work of making cotton military uniforms that had been handed over by the Ministry of Revenue.

These women have not yet delivered the cotton uniforms they captured this year.

There was already a plan to completely monopolize the weaving business of the court's cotton military uniforms.

Yan Shaoting did not intervene and let these women do whatever they wanted.

Seeing Yan Shaoting coming back, Lu Wenyan walked over immediately.

"Why did my husband come back so soon? Have you finished talking with Mr. Xu?"

Yan Shaoting reached out and patted Sister Lu on the head and scratched her nose: "After we finish talking, I came back to tell you that I have to go back to the city later."

"Back to the city?"

Lu Wenyan was puzzled and asked, "Didn't my husband plan to stay here for a few more days? Why did he want to go back to the city again?"

Yan Shaoting suddenly had an idea.

He glanced sideways and said, "Let's go back to the city and go to Fangchun Tower in the south city tonight..."

While talking, Yan Shaoting glanced at the girl, quietly observing her reaction.

really.

When Lu Wenyan found out that Yan Shaoting was returning to the city to go to Fangchun Tower, her face suddenly darkened.

But she soon smiled again and held Yan Shaoting's hand with her delicate hands.

Without waiting for Yan Shaoting to react.

He had already been pulled into the house by the eldest sister.

Yan Shaoting hurriedly asked, "Madam! Madam! What are you doing?"

The two of them have already entered the house.

There was a bang.

The door was closed tightly by Lu Wenyan.

Without waiting for Yan Shaoting to react, Lu Wenyan had already pushed him into the inner room.

"Don't worry, husband."

"It's those new positions that my husband mentioned a few times ago."

"I suddenly have some interest..."

"My husband, please take care of it for a while..."

"..."
