Looking at Yun'er who was a little panicked, Shen Lie opened his mouth slightly and was stunned. Then he couldn't help but touch his head. His first reaction was that our emperor had done something wrong again!
What kind of imperial edict is this?
But this is an imperial edict.
Can you not answer it?
So Shen Lie, who had received an imperial edict for the first time in his life, shivered, put on his clothes in a few seconds, and hurriedly ordered: "Go, move the table and set up the incense table!"
He had done a lot of filming, so he knew a little bit about the procedures for receiving imperial edicts, so after a period of panic, the incense table was set up.
Shen Lie also knelt down.
Soon, a young eunuch with fine features walked into the Shen Mansion holding a bright yellow imperial edict, followed by a group of people from the East Factory carrying a large box.
Everyone's face was beaming with joy, as if something great had happened.
As the box fell to the ground with a clang, the little eunuch opened his posture with a smile and sang: "Common Shen Lie... take the order!"
Shen Lie didn't dare to be negligent, so he had to take his maid Yun'er and his adopted sister Yue Xuan'er to crawl on the ground, pricking up their ears and listening quietly.
"By God, the Emperor has announced that there is a common man, Shen Lie, who has outstanding talents and noble character. He has been entrusted with the task of managing hundreds of households in Dongchang. You can report this directly to the emperor...I admire this."
The imperial decree was finished, but Shen Lie hadn't heard it clearly yet and was still savoring it carefully.
The handsome eunuch had already closed the imperial edict, walked over quickly, and forced the imperial edict in his hand without any explanation.
See Shen Lie accepted the order.
The little eunuch said happily: "Master Shen, please get up quickly. From now on, we are our own people. I am very happy and congratulated."
Shen Lie, Yun'er, and Yue Xuan'er quickly stood up.
This adult call made Shen Lie a little confused.
Looking at the joy from the heart on the young eunuch's pretty face, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, wondering who is your friend?
Why are you alone?
How can it be that you and I, a eunuch, are our own people?
Yun'er was also a little dumbfounded.
Fortunately, my foster sister Yue Xuan'er reacted quickly and was a woman who had seen the world. She quickly took out a few pieces of broken silver from her sleeves and enthusiastically walked over and gave them to the eunuch who passed the order.
"Thank you so much, father-in-law. It's just a small gift, but it's not respectful."
She handed out the reward money one by one.
No one refused either.
The little eunuch who passed the order to the Dongchang stalls hugged their fists after receiving the rewards, and then left happily.
Shen Lie did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked a few steps to send these gifts out. When he came back, he looked at the bright yellow silk cloth on the incense table.
Shen Lie touched his head.
What's going on?
As a breeze blew by, Shen Lie shivered. Looking at the imperial edict and the big box, his whole body was messy in the wind.
A quarter of an hour later.
The Shen family held the imperial edict in their hands and pondered its meaning carefully. The box had already been opened, containing sets of official uniforms, official hats, seals, dental plaques and other items.
"Am I an official?"
Being an official is a matter of honoring one's family, but Shen Lie's face turned a little dark because this official robe was not an ordinary official uniform.
This is clearly the style of Dongchang. No wonder the eunuch who delivers the edict is affectionate in every word and action, and even says that he is one of our own.
That’s so!
Let’s not talk about what our emperor thinks. Let’s just talk about this seventh-grade Dongchang official uniform.
This is too ugly!
Round hat, soap boots, and brown gown. This brown official uniform is simply ugly. It looks like a clown in the play.
Shen Lie cursed in his heart: "I don't know which bastard designed it."
After another long silence, Shen Lie touched his head and groaned in pain: "Am I... a factory official?"
There was a moment of silence.
In an instant, countless thoughts, Wei Zhongxian, Liu Jin, Yu Huatian... images of various factory bosses galloped through Shen Lie's mind like wild horses.
Yun'er was also speechless.
Yue Xuan'er couldn't hold back her laughter, so she burst out laughing, and soon her branches were trembling with laughter. Her expression looked very much like Miss Zhang's.
Look at the deep amusement on her pretty face.
Shen Lie's face darkened again, not to mention how upset he was.
After all, Yue Xuan'er was a well-educated woman and knew how to watch people's emotions. She looked at Shen Lie's troubled face and hurriedly suppressed her smile.
Hold back your smile.
But Yue Xuan'er couldn't help but said playfully: "Brother, don't be sentimental. Your current official position is to punish hundreds of households, and you are still thousands of miles away from being a factory owner. What's more, being a factory owner requires …”
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but her pretty face turned slightly red.
Shen Lie understood her meaning very well. Being a factory owner doesn't allow you to purify yourself.
"I'm sorry!"
Seeing this ugly Dongchang official uniform, Shen Lie was furious on the spot. He jumped over, grabbed the official robe, hat, and tooth tags and threw them out.
Who would be a serious person willing to be an official of Dongchang?
Compared with Jin Yiwei, although Jin Yiwei is usually scolded, it still represents the dignity of the royal family. If we talk about this Dongchang...
That’s really annoying!
Ming Dynasty Dongchang is really famous. The chief officer is the eunuch of the Imperial Envoy, whose full name is the eunuch of the Imperial Envoy and the official school of Dongchang.
He is referred to as Admiral Dongchang, and is respectfully called "Gong of the Factory" or "Governor".
At first, the Dongchang was concurrently held by the eunuchs of the Si Li Supervisor and the eunuch in charge of printing. Later, due to the complicated affairs, the second and third eunuchs of the Si Li Supervisor and Bingbi were appointed.
Of course, not all in the East Factory are eunuchs.
Under the factory boss, there is one person for each of the 100 households, one for each of the 100 households. This is called the post-executive officer. Under the post-executive officer, there are more than 40 people in total including the supervisor, foreman, room clerk, and police officers.
What is the status of the factory owner? Among the eunuchs in the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, he was the second-ranking figure after the eunuch who held the ceremonial seal.
His full official title is "Imperial Envoy Governor, Dongchang Official School Service Eunuch".
Referred to as "Admiral East Factory".
At the bottom, those specifically responsible for detective work are the sergeant and the sergeant.
The captain is equivalent to the squad leader, also called "stall head". There are more than one hundred people in total, and there are twelve ugly people in the group. They all wear pointed hats, white leather boots, and brown clothes.
Shen Lie's position is neither high nor low. He is probably a mid-level official in the East Factory. He is a serious seventh-grade officer.
Although this official position is at the same level as Tian Hong, his power is much greater than that of Tian Hong. The secret lies in those few words in the imperial edict.
"I can play it directly in front of you!"
What does it mean? It's probably the secret agent around the emperor.
How scary!
Although he said this, Shen Lie became angry when he saw this brown official uniform and was about to throw it into the yard.
"Don't!"
Yue Xuan'er and Yun'er were both frightened and hurriedly stopped them: "You can't throw it away!"
This is a sacred mandate, you dare to throw it away?
Yun'er was frightened and quickly advised: "Master, do you dare to resist the order...you will be beheaded!"
Shen Lie froze, with a bitter smile that was uglier than crying on his heroic face. He put down his hat, official uniform, tooth tags and other items, sat down on the chair with some dejection, and then sighed quietly.
"Our Emperor...which song is this?"
After another period of silence.
Two women came over, one on the left and the other on the right, and offered some words of comfort.
Yue Xuan'er said softly: "Brother, I wrongly blamed the emperor. You have no fame and no shadow in your family. The emperor wants to reuse you, so he can only take this step."
