Chapter 221 A large organization is beginning to take shape!
Shen Yi was not surprised that Zhang Jian came to see him. After all, the two had a good relationship when they were in Jiankang City. Now that Shen Yi has been elected as a candidate, the "brotherly love" between the two will naturally take a further step.
But what Shen Yi didn't expect was that Zhang Jian would come to find him so soon.
According to Shen Yi's own plan, he will visit two parents' officials in Jiangdu Prefecture tomorrow, and then go to Zhang Jian for a drink in the evening, and then have a good relationship with this front-line yamen.
Now that he heard that Zhang Jian was coming, Shen Yi could not neglect the county master. He followed his third brother Shen Ling into the main hall of his house. He saw that Zhang Jian was sitting in the main hall and chatting with Mr. Shen Zhang.
.
Shen Zhang is not even a scholar. He usually talks to the low-ranking officials in the county government when he sees them. Even if his son wins the imperial examination, he is still far behind the county magistrate in front of him who is born in the second grade.
, so although Shen Zhang was talking to Zhang Jian, he was always careful. After seeing Shen Yi walk in, Shen Zhang immediately stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where did Qilang go? Why did you come back so late and let the county magistrate wait for you for so long?"
Shen Yi cupped his hands in front of his father, lowered his head and said, "Dad, my son went to the academy to visit the gentleman at the academy. Something happened, so he was delayed."
After saying this, Shen Yi turned to look at Zhang Jian, raised his hands to Zhang Jian and said with a smile: "Brother, I haven't seen you for two months, how are you doing lately?"
The last time the two people met was on the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September. Zhang County Zun rushed back to Jiankang to spend the festival with his two elderly people at home. The two people were able to meet in Jiankang, but whether it was the Zhang family or Zhao Shilang,
Everyone hoped that Zhang Jian could "work" in the Jiangdu County Government in a down-to-earth manner and earn some political achievements for himself, so that his future career would be smooth. Therefore, Zhang Jian only stayed in Jiankang for a few days before returning to Jiangdu.
After hearing what Shen Yi said, Zhang County Zun also came to Shen Yi in a few steps, patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The last time we met, Qilang was still a scholar, and now he is seventh in the Jiankang Township Examination.
It’s Mr. Yayuan.”
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The prime minister's son couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really amazing. I remember that in the Jiankang Township Examination, Brother Wei only got 19th place. And at that time, Brother Wei was several years older than you, Qilang, now."
Shen Yi smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Zhang Jian and asked: "It's a rare reunion today, so naturally we have to have a drink. Senior brother, are you going to drink at my house, or should we go out to drink?"
"Just go out and forget it."
Zhang Xianzun touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Brother is no longer the libertine he used to be. He is now a parent official of Jiangdu County. If you drink in Jiangdu City and be seen by others, you will cause unnecessary trouble."
Trouble."
"Okay then, let's drink it at home."
Shen Yi turned to look at his father and said: "Dad, please ask Ping'er Qing'er to prepare some wine and food. If it doesn't work, go out to find a restaurant and buy some. My son and senior brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and they want to have a drink at home.
"
Of course, Shen Zhang felt complicated and happy that his son could have equal friendships with his parents and officials in the local area, and even called him brothers.
You know, even just a year ago, a jailer in Jiangdu County was an eldest brother to the Shen family.
Not to mention the county minister, the God of Jiangdu County!
Mr. Shen nodded happily and said: "Okay, Yi'er, you are so kind to entertain the county magistrate. I will go and prepare wine and food for you right now."
After Shen Zhang left, Shen Yi and Zhang Jian sat across the table. Shen looked at Jiangdu County Lord in front of him and said with a smile: "I was planning to visit senior brother early tomorrow morning, but I never thought that senior brother you would be here tonight.
coming."
Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi and smiled indifferently: "Shall Qi Lang go to the government office first tomorrow morning, or to my county office first?"
"Of course I'll go to the government office first."
Shen Qilang smiled and said: "I don't have a prime minister grandfather. If I offend Chen Fuzun, let alone whether there is a future, I might not even be able to get out of Jiangdu Mansion. Besides..."
He looked at Zhang Jian and said softly: "If I go to Senior Brother first, I'm afraid Senior Brother will also be in some trouble."
"I'm not afraid of him."
Zhang Xianzun said with a smile: "I won't mess with him, and he won't dare to mess with me. We just have to do our own errands."
Hearing Zhang Jian's confident words, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel a little envious.
This is the benefit of having someone in the court. If Shen Yi also has a backing like Zhang Jian, then he can do whatever he wants in Jiankang and Jiangdu, instead of being like now, walking on thin ice every step he takes, and he must be more cautious.
While the two were chatting, Qing'er had already brought the warm wine, and then another maid, Ping'er, also prepared two simple dishes to go with the wine. Shen Yi reached out and poured wine for Zhang Jian,
After the two senior brothers had a drink, Shen Qilang lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother came to see me late at night. Maybe he needs advice on something?"
Shen Yi's status is no longer what it used to be. According to his status as a civil servant, he is now a serious scholar and is in the same class as county magistrates and magistrates.
But even so, Zhang Jian, the county magistrate, should not visit Shen Yi personally, and that was before Shen Yi visited him.
You know, when Shen Yi passed the county examination, he was Zhang Jian's pick. If he were more serious, Shen Yi would even pay Zhang Jian the courtesy of a junior.
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "First, I want to be the first to congratulate Qi Lang on winning the imperial examination. Secondly..."
Having said this, he coughed, then looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Secondly, my grandfather thinks that the Dibao you created by Qilang is very interesting..."
Shen Yi frowned slightly and said: "Senior brother, you should also know in your heart that although I have written several issues of Di Bao, this kind of thing is definitely not something I can control. Up to now, the impact I can have on Di Bao,
It’s already minimal.”
"Which one is better, the writer or the reviewer, my senior brother knows better than me."
Zhang Jian smiled slightly and said: "It is naturally difficult for Qi Lang to control the Di Bao Department now, but in the future, when Qi Lang becomes a Jinshi and fills the vacancy in the court, he may not be able to fully control the Di Bao Department."
"Grandfather said that the Di Newspaper Division now has a group of people who specialize in collecting information to provide information materials to the Di Newspaper Division..."
Zhang Jian lowered his voice and said: "If things continue like this, it is very likely that the Di News Agency will not only be the Di News Agency, but also become a yamen with a huge root system, and it is even possible..."
"Become a vital force in the court!"
Shen Yi knew what Zhang Jian said about the recruitment of people in the Di newspaper department.
Since the Di News Department wants to publish the Di News on a regular basis, it naturally needs a source of information and cannot just rely on fabrication. Therefore, the Di News Department needs to hire some people to collect some specific materials for them.
This profession was called "journalist" in later generations.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
In this era, these "journalists" who have official status and often do not disclose their identities have to be more secretive.
In the Zhang family's view, the Di News Agency may become a "secret agency" in the imperial court in the future and become a huge political force.
After hearing Zhang Jian's words, Shen Yi thought of a term...
Jinyiwei!
However, Shen Yi quickly threw this idea out of his mind. He looked at Zhang Jian and said seriously: "Senior brother, the palace's father-in-law is in charge of the Di Newspaper Division, and foreign ministers cannot get involved."
Zhang Jian looked calm.
"Brother, of course, I know this. However, although the Di Bao Department is currently run by someone from the palace, this yamen is under the name of the Ministry of Rites."
Zhang Xianzun smiled and said: "Since it is a yamen under the name of the Ministry of Rites, it is possible for a foreign official to be in charge. For example, in the future, Qi Lang, after you become a Jinshi, you will fill the vacancy in the capital..."
Shen Yi was stunned.
He did not expect that the elders in the imperial court had already thought so far-reaching as soon as the Di News Agency took shape!
After being silent for a long time, he still shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Senior brother, this matter is not with me, but with..."
