Chapter 86: Chaos in the Southeast
Household Department.
When the two big pieces of shit went to deliver the few existing cotton military uniforms in Yi Zi Ku to the Xuanfu Army.
Yan Shaoting brought Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang to his office in the Zhejiang Qinglisi of the Ministry of Revenue.
Lan Yongzhen was still wondering how the people from the Yan Party could be so kind-hearted.
Guo Yuchuang, however, flattered with a smile on his face: "If it weren't for Shidu Yan who showed up today, Brother Lan and I would have suffered great humiliation. But the way Shidu treated them today, perhaps..."
"Maybe what?" Yan Shaoting smiled, "Are you afraid they will retaliate against me?"
Guo Yuchuang was stunned for a moment, an embarrassed look on his face.
He was overthinking it.
Could the people of Yan Ge's family still be afraid of the revenge of two ninth-rank officials?
Those two people might still be worried about whether Yan Shaoting is behind them and will continue to punish them.
On the contrary, he and Lan Yongzhen, both fifth-rank military generals, had to endure all kinds of humiliation from those two petty officials.
Yan Shaoting was preoccupied with something, and looked at the two people in front of him: "It's difficult for the court, and it's difficult for you too, but there must be justice to determine who is right and who is wrong.
The current governor of the Beijing camp, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, is also a capable general in the army and a rare noble.
General Ma was also a good fighter in his days. Although he was convicted in the 38th year of Jiajing, he was later transferred to Xuanfu, where he galloped 500 miles in one day and night, won seven battles in a row, and made great military achievements for the court.
If you follow them and do your job well, the government...will always get better."
When Zhu Shitai and the other two were sent to the southeast and arranged in Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese army, Yan Shaoting carefully looked up the details of the current Ming army.
The general Ma Fang, who is now stationed in Xuanfu, and the governor of the Beijing camp, Zhenyuan Hou Gu Huan, are both capable generals and ministers.
Yan Shaoting was immediately interested in it.
Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang were surprised to see that Yan Shaoting knew the main generals of each family so well.
The three of them chatted for a while in the government office.
On the other side, the ambassador of Yi Zi Ku was too embarrassed to come over again, so he sent someone to say that the cotton military uniforms transferred to Xuanfu had been loaded onto trucks and handed over to the soldiers from Xuanfu.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yan Shaoting stopped chatting, sent Guo Yuchuang and Lan Yongzhen out of the government office, and prepared to leave.
Lan Yongzhen hesitated several times, and finally said, "Thank you very much for coming forward today, Attendant Yan. However, the needs of Xuanfu have not been completed yet, and I will stay in the capital. I hope Attendant Yan will take good care of me."
Yan Shaoting looked back at the bearded soldier, who was clearly a man of character, and nodded with a smile.
Until Yan Shaoting walked away and disappeared from sight.
Lan Yongzhen then asked somewhat unsurely, "Is Yan Shidu really a member of the Yan family, a member of the Yan Party?"
Guo Yuchuang squinted at Lan Yongzhen and said, "Why do you care whether Yan Shidu is a member of the Yan Party? As long as he can get military pay and military supplies for us soldiers, what does it matter if he is a member of the Yan Party?
You did get some cotton military uniforms today, but I haven't got anything yet, so just wait."
After finishing speaking, the two of them had already walked down the steps in front of the Ministry of Revenue.
Guo Yuchuang turned around and took a deep look at the Ministry of Revenue.
"Pooh!"
"A bunch of bastards who flatter their superiors and bully their subordinates!"
……
The only benefit of having more errands and official positions is that Yan Shaoting no longer has to stay in one place and go to and from the government office according to the court rules.
After leaving the Ministry of Revenue, on the way back to Yan's house.
Yan Shaoting then counted the official positions and responsibilities he currently held.
He was a reader in the Hanlin Academy, the right son of the Right Spring Office of the Zhanshi Palace, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, and now there is an additional position as a Langzhong of the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue.
His duties included disaster relief in Shuntian Prefecture, implementation of national policies in the southeast, supervision of the reconstruction of Wanshou Palace, and the rather inconspicuous general manager of foreign businesses.
I can actually give a very long self-introduction. As he was thinking, Yan Shaoting had already returned to the Yan residence.
Seeing that it was still early, Yan Shaoting was about to go look for Miss Lu, but someone from the backyard came to report before him, saying that the young mistress had just returned to her parents' home not long ago.
Yan Shaoting was a little surprised, but he had to give up his plan to take Sister Lu to prepare some new dishes and go to Old Yan's study in the courtyard.
But Miss Lu must have had the wrong idea!
I thought I went home early today to continue developing new positions with her.
Yan Shaoting, who was in the study room in Old Yan's courtyard, waited until the afternoon when all the court departments closed their offices before Old Yan came home.
What surprised Yan Shaoting was that it was Yan Shifan who accompanied Yan Song back today.
When he saw the two of them, Yan Shaoting, who was still reading the Ming Dynasty Law, quickly put down the book, stood up and bowed.
"Grandpa, father."
Yan Song was in a good mood today. He nodded with a smile and motioned for his eldest grandson to sit down.
Yan Shifan glanced at the book his rebellious son had put down and snorted: "You're just reading this rotten book all day long. You really want to be an honest official in the Ming Dynasty."
Yan Song, who was supported by Yan Shifan to sit down, immediately looked up and glared at Yan Shifan, then slapped him on the body.
"As a father, do you want your son to be a corrupt official?"
Yan Shifan curled his lips and stood aside: "Yes, yes, you are right. It is my son who is talking too much. Your grandson is an honest official, a great honest official. He just went to the Ministry of Revenue today and made two ninth-rank officials kneel down to him. This matter has even reached the ears of our Ministry of Works."
Yan Song looked curious and glanced at his eldest grandson.
He did not think that there was anything wrong with making the two minor officials of the Ministry of Revenue kneel down, but he was curious about the reason that would make his grandson, who was highly expected and usually as gentle as jade, do such a thing.
Yan Shaoting immediately opened his mouth and explained with a smile: "It is because of this matter that my grandson is waiting for you to come back home today."
"Oh?" Yan Song seemed to be enjoying this kind of daily routine now, and asked, "Tell me about it. If those two are really abominable, I will fire them!"
Old Yan probably thought that his good grandson was irritated by those two people from the Ministry of Revenue today, so he suppressed them.
These two people were blind and deserved to be expelled from the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
Who made them mess with his beloved grandson?
Yan Shaoting smiled and shook his head: "It's just a small matter between the two of them. If you take action, my grandson will be known as a petty person in the Ministry of Revenue."
Seeing his beloved grandson say this, Yan Song also smiled and nodded.
Mature!
steady!
Yan Shaoting continued, "It's just that because of what happened in the Ministry of Revenue today, not only is the Taicang Treasury empty, but even the A, B, C, and D Treasurys are empty. I don't dare to think if there is anything left in the other vaults."
Hearing Yan Shaoting say this, Yan Shifan snorted coldly.
Then he said unkindly, "I think your Majesty had no good intentions in asking him to go to the Ministry of Revenue, but he still went there for no reason."
Yan Song glanced at his son and said, "How your Majesty uses people is not something you or I can say."
Then Old Yan turned around and looked at his darling grandson.
"What do you think? What are you going to do?"
Yan Shaoting nodded and looked at the two people in front of him: "My grandson wants to... cause chaos in the southeast."
