A similar scene happened not only in Xishan Province, but also in Nanhe Province.
In the yamen of Nanhe Province, Zhou Pingan lazily took over the imperial decree from the eunuch.
No money, not even a smile.
After just saying thank you, he turned around and directed the people below to replace the plaque on the Governor's Mansion.
The eunuch was quite embarrassed, but thinking of the position that the man in front of him had just been appointed to, he had to say a few words of flattery shamelessly.
"Master Zhou, congratulations."
Zhou Ping'an didn't even turn his head, and responded through his nose, "Yeah."
Um!?
This was the first time that the eunuch saw someone accept the imperial edict for promotion so casually. He couldn't help but said: "Master Zhou, the position of governor of the tax desk is to be in charge of the national taxation. This job is not easy to do, even if you are
I have His Highness’s support, but the place is high up in the mountains and far away from the emperor, but you may not be able to buy the favor of the tax office, so I ask Mr. Zhou to be more careful.”
This time, Zhou Ping'an turned to look at him.
But it was just a glance and then he turned back.
"Um."
Seeing Zhou Ping'an being so cold, the eunuch couldn't bear to touch him no matter how hot his face was. He could only laugh dryly, turn around and walk away angrily.
Before leaving, he cursed behind his back.
Zhou Ping'an didn't care at all whether the eunuch was happy or unhappy. He played with the imperial edict in his hand and suddenly said: "Here comes someone."
"grown ups."
Immediately an official came to greet him, his face full of flattery and flattery.
"Compile all the tax accounts in the province for the past five years and send them to my room."
······
In the capital, the Xu family's mansion, Xu Junlou couldn't restrain his happiness.
"Uncle, I am going to take up my post tomorrow." Xu Junlou said to Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing nodded and said: "Logically speaking, you are not in the position of governor of the capital. However, the court is currently short of people, and His Highness is even more short of people. That's why I promoted you without any experience in governing.
Even if you are a governor in the capital, you must remember not to be impatient when encountering problems, but to be cautious and think twice before taking action."
"In addition, your predecessor Zheng Baorong was brought by His Highness from Weihaiwei. So far, his ability is quite good. His ability to control the entire capital without causing trouble with an outside ability proves that his ability is not weak. This time he
He was promoted to the rank of Left Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was reserved for him."
"You must have a good relationship with him. It's best if you can leave a good relationship. We are all from the East Palace. I don't think he will make things difficult for you."
Xu Junlou listened attentively, nodded and said: "Uncle, I understand, I will definitely do a good job."
Xu Changqing nodded with great satisfaction and said: "In this way, the officials of the second and fourth grades of my Xu family can be regarded as the lintel of the family."
After thinking about it, Xu Changqing added: "The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and everything that happens is under the eyes of the imperial court. Zheng Baorong is also from the East Palace, but Zheng Baorong is from another place. He has no foundation in the capital and manages the capital well. How can you still do it?"
I have support, but I lack experience. If something goes wrong in the capital while you are in charge, your official career may be ruined, so you must be cautious!"
Xu Junlou smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm really not sure. I'll just come back and ask you for advice."
Xu Changqing nodded, and then said: "It's good that you have an idea. This time, with such a major adjustment of positions under the New Deal, most of the officials in our East Palace faction have been promoted. It is both an opportunity and an assessment. Your Highness, you can see it all.
