The first thousand five hundred and ninety-nine chapters take the bait
Zeng Yi's plan was very successful. When those guys heard that Zeng Yi's elixir was so expensive, they not only took the initiative to help Zeng Yi sell it, but also spared no effort to promote it with the housekeepers and relatives of the big officials, even to make those people believe it.
, those few petty officials gritted their teeth and took out a few of their own elixirs and gave them to those people.
The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. In fact, as long as you satisfy the devils, the adults they serve will be easy to see. After those people got the elixir, they naturally had to give it a try out of curiosity. This test was shocking.
People usually only have a few minutes of endurance, but after taking the elixir, they suddenly lasted for half an hour. This is the greatest satisfaction for a man.
Of course, these people would not let go of the opportunity to please their masters with such a good thing, and they seized the opportunity to sell it to their masters. Of course, such things are somewhat shameful, but those officials still care about themselves.
Face-saving.
However, after only two days of waiting, someone started to contact Zeng Yi. That night Zeng Yi got up and drank with a few petty officials. As soon as they met, one of them smiled and said to Zeng Yi: "Brother, you want to get rich."
Yes, Mr. Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he invites you to his house tomorrow afternoon!"
"Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!" Zeng Yi was very surprised. He did not expect that the first person to take the bait would be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You must know that the Ministry of Personnel is listed as the first of the six departments of the Shangshu Province, and the chief officer is called the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. "Li" refers to civil servants.
Officials, mostly referred to as "officials", are equivalent to modern civil servants. The Ministry of Civil Affairs consists of the Civil Service Department, the Feng Department, the Honors Department, and the Examination Department, which are responsible for the appointment and dismissal, examinations, promotions, honors, and transfers of civil servants all over the world.
Waiting for matters, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel, second only to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If you come into contact with the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and find an opportunity to pull this guy on board, it means that the pro-military Duwei Mansion is in control
Part of the power of the Ministry of Personnel. If, with the help of this guy, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is brought on board, it will be equivalent to the pro-army Duwei Mansion controlling the appointment and dismissal of officials in the court. At that time, the pro-army Duwei Mansion can make arrangements for the imperial court.
Manpower available!
Of course, these are all good wishes, and now they are just asking him to buy the little blue pill that restores men.
Zeng Yi immediately raised his hands to several people and said: "Thank you so much to my brothers. I will never forget my great kindness!...Brothers, what is the situation of this Minister of Civil Affairs? Please tell me.
Well, otherwise, as a civilian, it would be bad if I say the wrong thing and lose my etiquette!"
"Hey, the Minister of Civil Affairs is actually quite famous in the capital..." I have to admit that in the capital, these petty officials are the most well-informed about the affairs of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
These guys know it very well.
Through these people, Zeng Yi learned that the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was actually not very old, more than fifty years old. However, this guy did not win the imperial examination until he was forty years old. After that, he married a concubine from a big family and lived for ten years.
After many years of relying on his wife's wealth, he finally managed to get into the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because he was said to be poor, he only relied on his wife's help to get to where he is today, so this guy is notoriously henpecked in the capital.
If you are just afraid of your wife, forget it. After all, this is very common in officialdom. He is not the only one who is afraid of his wife. But the bad thing is that this minister of the Ministry of official affairs has a problem in his heart because he is afraid of his wife.
Every time he had an affair with his wife, it was done hastily, and he even didn't feel anything about it later. When he saw his wife, he just couldn't harden up, so that not only his thirty-year-old wife complained and disliked him.
He's not a man. If this guy hadn't gained some status now, he might have been cuckolded long ago. More importantly, he didn't have a son yet. There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the worst. This pair of officials
The minister is a big problem.
Hearing that the Minister of Civil Affairs had this kind of virtue, Zeng Yiye finally understood why this guy came into contact with him in the first place. He went to the doctor for a sudden illness. When he heard about the efficacy of the little blue pill, he just didn't believe that this guy could do it.
Give it a try.
After learning about some of the affairs of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zeng Yi went to the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs in a big way in the afternoon of the next day. As soon as he walked near the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zeng Yi discovered that a petty official he knew was carrying a fat man.
The big-headed man is waiting for him.
"Brother, brother, this way!"
Zeng Yi ran over quickly.
"Brother, this is Butler Song from the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs! Thanks to Butler Song's support, otherwise brother, how would you have the opportunity to meet the Minister of Civil Affairs!"
The housekeeper is the closest person to these officials. Many of their little secrets are that the housekeeper knows that this fat guy is of some use to Zeng Yi, so he quickly held his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Thank you so much, housekeeper Song.
, these are some elixirs, they are not disrespectful, I hope Butler Song will not dislike them!"
"Hey, it's easy to talk! Come with me, the master is already waiting for you!" The guy calmly accepted the pill given by Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi was now a civilian, and what he did was a bit shameful. The housekeeper took Zeng Yi to the back door and entered the mansion through the back door. Instead of taking him to the living room, he took him to the living room.
He followed him to a remote room.
"Haha, what's going on with me, you still find it embarrassing?" Zeng Yi understood this. The Minister of Civil Affairs didn't want others to know that he came to Zeng Yi to buy that kind of medicine. This guy still wanted to save face.
of.
Arriving at the relatively remote study room, the housekeeper lost his arrogant look and immediately changed into a dog-legged expression: "Master, we are here!"
"Ahem, come in!"
Pushing the door open and walking in, a thin man sat inside and said, "Sir, we've brought you here. This is the Minister of Civil Affairs."
"Common people, please pay a visit to the Minister of Civil Service!"
"No courtesy, let's do it, Butler Song, you can go down too!"
"It's the master!"
After the housekeeper left, only Zeng Yi and the Minister of Libu were left in the study. The Minister of Libu was silent for a moment, looked at Zeng Yi and said, "I heard that you can make elixirs?"
"Sir, after a few days of studying with Taoist masters, ordinary people can refine some elixirs that can restore energy."
"So, will there be any side effects when taking your elixir?" No matter who it is, when faced with elixirs, especially those with such functions, the first reaction is to ask about the side effects.
Zeng Yi immediately replied: "Sir, Cao Min's elixir is different from other medicines of the same type. It is an elixir refined based on Taoist classics and the theory of yin and yang and five elements. The materials used are also very expensive.
The medicinal materials have no side effects at all. Not only do they have no side effects, they also have certain benefits for the human body."
