Seeing Cao Dazhong's complaint, Yang Feng said bitterly: "Eunuch Cao, Cao Min only sells a few glass mirrors. Could it be that this small business, the Duke of Wei's Mansion, can you also like this?"

"Small business?"

Cao Dazhong sneered: "Don't tell me that you don't know how much money you made in selling mirrors this month? I tell you, a total of 120,000 taels! The annual tax in our Ming Dynasty is less than 6 million taels, and you made 120,000 taels of silver in a month. Do you know how envious this money is? Those nobles who are jealous of money will not be jealous? Besides, you are a powerless and powerful grass man who does not bully you... People feel sorry for themselves."

Seeing that Cao Dazhong was so straightforward, even the shopkeeper Shi Zhongyi was rolling his eyes secretly. You are too straightforward, our Ming Dynasty has a kingly law.

Yang Feng sighed helplessly: "What Eunuch Cao said is indeed a true insight. But the grass-roots people have no power or power in the Ming Dynasty, so how can they resist? It seems that the Ming Dynasty cannot stay there. Cao Ming will go back to pack up and return to Nanyang. The Ming Dynasty will never dare to come again."

When Cao Dazhong saw Yang Feng's "nervous" appearance, he felt that the temperature was almost done. If he really scared the person away and never came to Daming again, wouldn't he have lost a money tree? He pretended to be pondered for a while and said, "You don't have to worry. As long as our family is still in Nanjing, you will naturally be able to keep you peaceful for a day. For the sake of our family's face, those nobles dare not go too far."

Yang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, this is correct, but this is not a long-term solution. If my father-in-law gets promoted in the future, who will protect the grass people? So the grass people should pack up their things and go back to Nanyang. Can't we afford to mess with each other, can't we hide?"

Although he knew that this was likely to be Yang Feng's strategy of retreating as his advancement, Cao Dazhong still could not appease the money tree.

"You don't have to worry too much. Our family has already said that we will say hello to the Duke of Wei's Mansion later and not let them make things difficult for you."

Yang Feng shook his head: "It is better to begging for yourself than asking others. My father-in-law can protect the grass people for a while, but he cannot protect the grass people for a lifetime. The grass people don't want to live such a life all day, so my father-in-law's kindness is appreciated."

"Hey... you little bastard, you are still panting!"

Cao Dazhong glared at Yang Feng in anger, but he also knew that if he didn't give this guy some benefits now, he would probably really give up. In this way, his income of more than 100,000 vehicles a month would be gone, which made him who had already tasted the sweetness. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this, tell me, what do you want."

"The Caomin wants an official position, I hope my father-in-law can fulfill it!"

"Well... do you want an official position?"

Cao Dazhong was not surprised by Yang Feng's request. Thousands of Chinese are an official country, and being an official has always been the thing that everyone desires the most. Learning civil and martial arts to sell with the imperial family has already expressed everyone's dreams, and this dream is no exception until the 21st century. Don't you see that a civil servant exam can attract all the prides of emperors, and more than 100,000 people will compete for less than 100 positions. This shows the status of being an official in the hearts of Chinese people.

As a Chinese, Yang Feng naturally has a dream of becoming an official in his heart. And Yang Feng also knows that in Chinese society, if you want to withstand the pressure of the government, you must first have an official body. No matter how small the official body is, as long as you squeeze into this class, it means that you have changed from a ruling class to a ruling class, and you are qualified to be swayed with others. Only when the Duke of Wei's Mansion wants to deal with him will he be more concerned. Otherwise, if the word "official" is opened, it will be really not too simple for the other party to punish him.

After pondering for a while, Cao Dazhong then stared at Yang Feng and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, I wonder what kind of mission you want to do? We have to say that the vilification is ahead. Our family is just a governor of Nanjing, not the Minister of Personnel. But there is no way to give you a very good mission. Moreover, you are not from the imperial examination, so at most you can only get a small idle position for you. Do you understand?"

Originally, he thought Yang Feng would thank him for his gratitude, but Yang Feng actually shook his head: "Grandpa thanked for his kindness, but Caomin doesn't want to be a civil servant. Caomin wants to ask his father-in-law to take up a military position for Caomin."

"Military position?"

As soon as Yang Feng finished speaking, two screams of exclamation sounded from the elegant seat, one was low and the other was extremely sharp.

"Yang Feng, do you know what you are saying? We heard it right, do you actually want to be a military vocation?"

Not only Cao Dazhong, but even Shopkeeper Shi opened his mouth wide and stared at Yang Feng, thinking that this person was confused. After a long time, he stammered: "Young Master Yang, do you know what you are talking about? Are you actually going to join the military position?"

Yang Feng said in discomfortably: "Yes, I'm going to be a military post. Is there any problem? Is there no military post in the Ming Dynasty?"

"this……"

Shopkeeper Shi and Cao Dazhong were a little confused. They really didn't know whether this guy from Nanyang was really confused or fake. Don't you understand that the Ming Dynasty is a civil servant who is inferior to the civil servants? Even a second-rank general in the Ming Dynasty cannot stand up in front of a sixth-rank military garrison, because the Ming Dynasty pursued the policy of using civil servants to control military affairs. All the military ordnances, mobilization and even promotions of all troops are in the hands of civil servants. In this way, military officials can have a ghost status over the past hundred years.

Looking at the stunned two people, Yang Feng bowed to them and said, "Eunuch Cao, it's not that the grass people are ungrateful, but that the grass people know that the Ming Dynasty is now internal and external troubles, the military preparations are slack, and there are Tartars eyeing them outside. If we don't work hard, our Ming Dynasty will be in danger. Therefore, the grass people would rather join the army and do their part for the emperor and the court."

Cao Dazhong was silent for a while before saying, "Young Master Yang, you must know that if you have entered the military position and if the Emperor did not issue an order personally, you will always be a military officer."

"Caomin knows, but if he can share his worries for the emperor, what if he can even hold a military post for generations?" Yang Feng said this, and almost even he was moved by these words. In fact, the real situation is that Yang Feng knew that the chaotic times of the Ming Dynasty would come in a few years. At that time, the status of the Ming military officer will rise sharply like a rocket. Besides, what is the best thing for civil servants to be? It can annoy people to deal with those official duties all day long.

Of course, Cao Dazhong and Shi Shopkeeper Yang Feng didn't know about this. Seeing Yang Feng's swearing, even Cao Dazhong, the old man in the officialdom, was moved. He sighed: "Okay... OK, if the emperor could know your loyalty, he would be so relieved. Let's do this. After we go back, we will take a good look for you to see if we can do an errand for you in the garrison near Nanjing."
