Chapter 147 Shameless Yan Shaoting (Subscription Request)
For a while.
The image of the evil-hearted Yan Shaoting emerged in everyone's mind.
In the silence, there were constant curses.
It’s just.
Yan Shaoting looked at everyone coldly and sneered in his heart.
Are they thinking things too simply?
Yan Shaoting turned around and glanced at Xu Wei.
Xu Wei, who had been present today, was extremely happy.
I have been born for many years and have also been in officialdom for many years.
I have never seen such a scene before.
When I think about the time when I was in Zhejiang and worked for Hu Butang, even if I were a man as strong as Hu Butang, how could I act like this while in the officialdom?
Now, since coming to Beijing, he has been serving as aide to Yan Shidu.
Until tonight.
Cool!
So refreshing!
These so-called Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations are the smartest scholars in the world.
Now, he has been subdued by Yan Shidu and has to obey his orders.
Yan Shaoting also said: "That's right, Xu Shaoqing, there is one more thing."
Xu Kun, as if he had eaten shit, looked at Yan Shaoting with a grim face.
"What advice do you have for me, Mr. Yan?"
Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "When the academy is completed in a few days, a sign will be erected at the entrance of the academy. Xu Shaoqing's donation of 5,000 taels will be recorded on it. When the academy opens for enrollment, please donate to it."
Xu Kun's face became darker.
Five thousand taels!
This Yan Shaoting even wanted to put up a donation sign at the entrance of the academy!
Those who don’t know the truth naturally think that Xu Kun is passionate about education.
But for those who know.
This is Xu Kun’s card of shame!
What’s more important is that Xu Kun and everyone present understood the meaning of Yan Shaoting’s words.
That’s five thousand taels per person!
shameless!
Too bad!
Everyone was gnashing their teeth in hatred.
Five thousand taels for one name, although there were not too many names on those notes.
But when all is added up, there are dozens of them.
Even if they were distributed among various parties, there would still be more than ten of them.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver were looted by Yan Shaoting just like that!
Xu Kun was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Looking at Yan Shaoting's smiling face, he burst into cursing in his heart.
He really had never seen such a shameless person!
Nothing to do.
Broken rules.
If you want to get the note back, you have to redeem it for 5,000 taels per person.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, Yan Shaoting was the most shameless and blatant person!
After cursing in my heart.
Xu Kun had to face an embarrassing and troublesome problem.
That is, this time, the Xu family is not just pushing themselves.
Under the Xu family, there were a total of seventeen names that were sent to Yan Shaoting.
In addition to myself, there are sixteen other names.
Eighty thousand taels of silver!
Xu Wei interrupted from behind and said, "Master, I think those who are keen on teaching and supporting the school in the capital are not seeking fame. When the merit plaque of the academy is published, you don't need to write the full name, just the surname, Mr."
They are all officials in the court.
If the donation plaque outside the Changping Academy really had the names of those who used money to redeem the pieces of paper used to buy official positions and titles written on it, it would cause trouble that shouldn't have happened.
How come you, an official in the court, have five thousand taels of silver?
Yan Shaoting immediately smiled and nodded: "Mr. Wenqing is indeed thoughtful. I think by then, these kind-hearted scholars who are enthusiastic about education will be filled with joy and praise."
The two men cooperated with each other and laughed.
Yan Shaoting even glanced at Xu Kun.
Look, Xu Laoer, I have thought carefully about you guys.
But can everyone present be filled with joy?
Everyone looked like Xu Kun, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of shit, and their faces were as ugly as they could be.
Gao Wuguan, who has nothing to worry about and feels lighthearted, is truly a joy to watch.
In the past few years, this Xu Laoer, relying on the fact that he was older than himself and was the son of the second assistant of the cabinet, was in charge of the position of Shaoqing in the Shangbao Bureau, and he suppressed himself a lot.
Now I see that Xu Laoer is being humiliated everywhere by Yan Shaoting today.
How could he miss such an opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune?
Gao Wuguan said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yan is fair! It is true that my family has no money and my father is an honest official in the court. For this reason, he has a bad temper on weekdays. Instead, people curse my father for his hot temper behind his back.
If my family is wealthy, let alone five thousand taels, even ten thousand taels would be donated for the future students of the academy!"
While Gao Wuguan was squeezing Xu Kun, he also did not forget to fire at the good old man Xu.
Your father, the second assistant, Xu Laoer, calls himself a clean official.
But behind the scenes, everyone knows that your Xu family is involved in all kinds of activities and wants to get their hands on everything.
Since you love to eat so much.
Today I won’t be stingy and stuff more shit into your Xu’s mouth.
At this moment, Xu Kun really wanted to jump into the goldfish pond and drown himself.
What a shame!
The greatest humiliation I have ever experienced in my life!
But the fierce and fierce factory guards were all present today.
Xu Kun knew in his heart that if he didn't spend money to avoid disaster today, Yan Shaoting, who had lost all his dignity, would be in trouble.
Then this matter will really be reported to Xiyuan and made public.
By then, it won't be enough to just give away five thousand taels of silver.
Xu Kun's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and turned to look at everyone present.
This bunch of rubbish is so shameless and shameless!
Originally, each party wanted benefits.
But now he has put himself here and put himself at the head.
My heart skipped a beat.
It was only about 80,000 taels of silver.
Xu Kun said in a deep voice: "It's just five thousand taels of silver, not worth mentioning! I think that if you have the opportunity to contribute to the future generations of our dynasty, you will be willing to give this five thousand taels of silver!"
The crowd who had been waiting for Xu Kun to speak immediately knelt on the ground, straightened their upper bodies, and clasped their hands together.
"Xu Shaoqing is absolutely right. Everything is for the great cause of education in our dynasty and for the future generations who are studying hard all over the world."
Xu Laoer, the second assistant of the family, agreed to the deal of 5,000 taels per person.
There is no reason why they can be stronger than the Xu family.
Yan Shaoting clapped his hands immediately and looked at Xu Wei: "Mr. Wenqing, it seems that there are many noble people in our dynasty who are passionate about education. From now on, this matter will be handed over to Mr. Wenqing. You must be careful and record everything in the book. You must not disappoint the kind hearts of noble people!"
Pooh!
He is a righteous man with a kind heart!
Everyone present now has a cold heart.
Xu Kun said with a gloomy face: "In this case, does Yan Shidu have any other advice? If Yan Shidu has nothing else to say, I will leave now."
"Wait a minute, Xu Shaoqing, don't be anxious!"
Yan Shaoting, however, tried to persuade Xu Kun, who was about to get up and leave.
Regardless of Xu Laoer who was very upset tonight, Yan Shaoting looked at everyone present.
"Huh?" "Why are you all kneeling on the ground?"
"There is no such rule in our dynasty that officials must kneel down and kowtow to one another."
“Where do these bad rules come from?”
"Please get up quickly."
"Be careful about getting cold."
After hearing Yan Shaoting's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and dared to stand up.
But everyone looked unhappy.
One after another, they looked at Yan Shaoting with resentment.
This damn Yan Shaoting doesn’t follow any rules at all!
Do all the bad things!
No wonder he has such a beautiful wife but she can’t lay eggs.
This group of people suffered setbacks in the officialdom, but they dared not say anything.
They could only start malicious speculation and sarcasm about his private life in their hearts.
Facing Xu Laoer's puzzled and secretly dissatisfied eyes.
Yan Shaoting was as steady as a rock, and said, "Come to think of it, today we are still talking about the shortage of quartermasters."
I saw Yan Shaoting mentioned the vacancy of quartermaster again.
Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.
I hope this guy won't do it again.
Five thousand taels for one person, isn’t that enough to fill this damn dog’s stomach?
Yan Shaoting looked at Xu Kun and Gao Wuguan, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, regarding the vacancy of the quartermaster, I originally asked Xiyuan's Imperial Will.
In Xiyuan, Brother Xu and Brother Gao are highly valued.
Putting aside other things, even though your two brothers have been serving as officials in the court over the years, they have been doing their duties conscientiously and trying their best.
So Xiyuan's intention is that if Brother Xu and Brother Gao are willing, please condescend to shoulder the military supply duties of our dynasty together with Yan."
Gao Wuguan's face suddenly lit up with joy.
I didn't spend a penny today, but I took a few sets of books to the academy.
I originally thought that the military supplies issue was over.
But I don’t want to.
The coins haven’t been issued yet, but my wish has come true!
On the other hand, Xu Kun had a look of surprise on his face, and even a little panic in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at everyone present.
this moment.
Xu Kun really wanted to kill Yan Shaoting.
Just this one sentence, even though it was said by Yan Shaoting, the meaning was from Xiyuan.
Even if he was unwilling now, he had to follow Gao Wuguan and Yan Shaoting to take on the task of military supplies.
Is this still a good thing now?
This is such a fucking bad thing!
Looking at the eyes of those people present now, they seem to want to eat me alive.
So they all paid money, lost face, and didn't get the quartermaster's job.
Instead, it was you, Xu Laoer, who took on the task of military supplies.
what's going on?
You, Xu Laoer, are playing tricks on us guys!
I originally thought that Yan Shaoting was the only one who was shameless.
It turns out that your Xu family is just as shameless!
Perfidious and ungrateful.
Your Xu family is the best at doing it!
After obtaining Yan Shaoting's permission, the representatives of all parties, who had shed huge sums but gained nothing, left in anger.
Not right either.
When they left, each of them left with a debt of five thousand taels.
Only after paying money can you get back the notes with people's names written on them.
Xu Kun was even more angry and left with hatred, being accused of being a traitor by all parties.
Gao Wuguan stayed until the end and chatted with Yan Shaoting for a few words before he left with his hands behind his back, humming a tune in a good mood.
I saw that everyone had left.
Only then did Yan Shaoting wave to Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu who were standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu both had smiles on their faces as they walked into the waterside courtyard.
Zhu Qi bowed and said, "Mr. Yan really showed his power today. He made these people obedient and unyielding. But..."
There was a hint of hesitation on his face.
Yan Shaoting pointed to the seat next to him and waited for Zhu Qi to sit down.
He then said, "But, are you afraid that I will decide for myself?"
Zhu Qi nodded and said, "Patriarch, we are the only ones here right now, and it has nothing to do with our position in the court. I respect the Patriarch as a person, and if it is based on the Patriarch's position in the court, even if he cannot live in harmony with the other officials in the court, he should at least show some leniency."
Qi Dazhu stood aside, looking somewhat confused.
Coming from a farming family, he couldn't understand these profound words.
Yan Shaoting shook his head and said with a smile: "As an official in the court, it is natural to be merciful. But even if I really show some mercy, if it comes to their own interests in the future, do you think these people will really show me mercy?"
Zhu Qi was still a little hesitant: "Then..."
Yan Shaoting waved his hand: "Don't worry about it. I still need to tell you something, Brother Zhu Qi."
"Please read it to me."
Yan Shaoting shook his head and said, "You don't need to show me. Since you regard me, Yan Runwu, as a friend, and can put aside my status in the court to talk about this matter, I, Yan Runwu, will naturally open my heart to you, brother Zhu Qi."
Zhu Qi raised his head, a puzzled look on his face.
But my heart is warm.
Yan Shaoting continued: "In the court, there is a lot of people coming and going, and in the end, it's all for fame and fortune.
What is the most abundant thing in the world?
Naturally there are the most people.
Don't be merciful to them. There are many people who are willing to be as close to you and me as we are, and be merciful.
Being an official in the court does not require one to blend in with the world or to show favoritism, but one must have people like the Zhu Qi brothers who are one of his own.
Only among our own people do we need to show some mercy."
Zhu Qi's heart felt even warmer.
Xu Wei said on the side: "Now that the matter in the capital has been concluded, will the tutor return to Changping?"
Yan Shaoting shook his head: "This matter is not over yet, let's stay in Beijing for a few more days."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Qi, who seemed to be thinking about something.
Yan Shaoting pointed to the table in front of him.
"The cold dishes are all served. I think Fangchunlou has also prepared the hot dishes and put them in the kitchen. We can't waste money."
"Call all the brothers over, eat and drink, don't waste these good things."
A smile appeared on Zhu Qi's face. He put away everything he had just thought about and looked at Qi Dazhu beside him.
Qi Dazhu nodded and waved towards the gate and the other side of the river.
For a while.
Inside and outside Fangchun Tower.
Countless voices of gratitude were heard.
