Chapter 600 The food in the Xiangye's house is delicious
When Yan Shiyue put on her official uniform and went to court the next day, she felt that the words "Why is she here again" in the eyes of all the officials were almost overflowing.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty directly announced to the court that Prime Minister Yan Shiyue would take charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs today. At the same time, he transferred Qu Sinian to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He and Xu Wenqu were in the same fourth rank. Speaking of which, he was not as noble as Zuo Cheng, the Minister of Finance.
But it points to a different path.
And in this way, it is equivalent to branding him as "Yan Shiyue's party", and it is the emperor's tacit approval. The emperor's trust is unparalleled in the whole court.
It is inevitable that some people feel that the prime minister is not claiming to be impartial, but does he want to cultivate his own people?
But people with a discerning eye can see clearly. Perhaps it is because Yan Shiyue herself does not have this awareness and does not know how to promote people, so the emperor thought about it for her! He did it for her!
Think about it, Xu Wenqu, a direct descendant of the Prime Minister, started out as an Imperial Attendant, and entered the Secretariat of Ministers in more than a year. He couldn’t fly so fast! How many days ago did Qu Sinian get to meet the Prime Minister?
If you can enter the household department, you will have real power.
Even Prince Chun showed his closeness to the prime minister, and even if the prime minister had trouble in his house, he was not affected and was promoted to minister! Doesn't this mean that the entire ministerial province is in the hands of the prime minister?
Where is Shangshu Province?
The Shangshu Province is an executive agency, with six ministries and twenty-four divisions. The Emperor dares to ask someone with obvious bias to take charge of a place like this... How much does he trust the Prime Minister? This is almost an explicit encouragement for people to join the Prime Minister's sect.
ah!
But when they thought about it again, everyone was depressed again. Everyone knew that the rice at Xiangye’s house was delicious, but wasn’t it because the bowl was not delicious? The key point was that she didn’t mean it at all!
The people in the court were excited. As soon as they came to court, Sima Long, the Minister of Household Affairs, came up to him and saluted, "Master Xiang."
Sima Long was indeed as Qu Sinian said, a smiling tiger. He looked to be in his forties, with a mustache, a round face, deep smile lines at the corners of his eyes, and he looked very amiable.
Yan Shiyue nodded, and Qu Sinian also came over and saluted the two of them.
Yan Shiyue said: "Master Sima, let's go, let me see what your household department looks like."
Sima Long bowed in response and led with a smile.
Yan Shiyue whispered to Qu Sinian, "Don't do anything to me."
Qu Sinian smiled and replied: "It's true."
Sima Long pretended not to hear it and thought secretly in his heart.
Each of the six ministries has its place of duty in the palace, but the Yamen is outside.
After leaving the palace gate, Gu Xiao, whom she had sent to notify in advance, was already waiting. He stepped forward and saluted: "Master."
Yan Shiyue nodded, and Gu Xiao followed beside him, smiling as he walked: "Master, a few days ago, my disciple had a crowning ceremony at home."
Yan Shiyue blurted out: "Ah? You're so old that you can't hold the crown ceremony?"
Gu Xiao lowered her head and didn't answer. She thought of all the troubles in his family and quickly changed her words: "I mean, I don't know. Why don't you ask someone to make up for it later?"
Gu Xiao smiled and said: "There is no need for etiquette. Could you please give me a word from Master?"
Ah? Yan Shiyue looked at Qu Sinian. Qu Sinian avoided her eyes. Yan Shiyue said, "I'm only a little better than illiterate. Are you sure you want me to wake up?"
"Yes," Gu Xiao said, "You don't need to be too knowledgeable."
Well, Yan Shiyue thought hard and said: "You are good at arithmetic, how about you call me 'Hengsha'?"
Gu Xiao hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Master, for the words."
Hengsha, taken from the number of sands in the Ganges River, means that like the sand in the Ganges River, it is impossible to count, indicating a large number. One thing is counted one by one, and one Ganges River coincides with his name.
Moreover, the Ganges River is the birthplace of Buddha, a place of auspiciousness, and good wishes.
Qu Sinian was so impressed! He said: "Congratulations Hengsha, I'm really sweating for you because I was afraid that the Prime Minister would give you names like Ding Xiaoyan and Tang Xiaoying."
Gu Xiao, well, Gu Hengsha smiled and said, "Even so, I'm happy."
"Really?" Yan Shiyue said with a smile: "Then call you Little Dog. I heard that such a name will lead to longevity!"
Gu Hengsha smiled and cupped his hands: "Master, show mercy."
The three of them chatted and laughed all the way and entered the household department.
The two people around her each have their own strengths. Compared to when she was alone and entered the Criminal Department, her mood was completely different.
Sima Long first called everyone out to see the ceremony.
As Qu Sinian said, the minister of household affairs is called Jia Xuanjing. He is a young man with a fair face and no beard. He looks pretty good.
The four divisions under the Ministry of Household Affairs, namely Si Yuan, Si Du, Si Zhen and Si Yu, are responsible for the affairs of land, household registration, finance and taxation, treasury and cashiers, and the administration of warehouses and warehouses. The chief of the four divisions is Langzhong, and the deputy chief is Yuanwailang.
There are a bunch of principals and the like below.
The officials came forward to greet him one after another.
Originally, this was nothing, it was just a process, until when Sidu Yuanwailang came up to greet him, he called her, and it was a good thing that Yan Shiyue didn't drink tea, otherwise he would definitely get angry.
He said: "My surname is Bao Mingzheng, my courtesy name is Xiren. I am here to pay my respects to the Prime Minister."
Yan Shiyue maintained his composure and nodded, but the barrage in his heart was so intense that he could hardly see clearly...
Master Bao! Bao Qingtian! Oh! Is it you? I have seen you in the TV series! Why isn't your old man hacking at all! Why is there no crescent in the middle of your eyebrows? Why! Why?
Bao Zheng is not only not black, but also very white. Not only is he very white, he is also very handsome, with a beautiful beard under his chin and big and clear eyes.
This is not the key, the key is why Bao Zheng looks older than Zhao Kuangyin! This is unscientific! Logically speaking, Zhao Kuangyin was already dead when Bao Zheng was born!
Qu Sinian suddenly coughed slightly, but she didn't come back to her senses. He picked up the pot and poured her tea again.
Only then did she come back to her senses.
Sima Long's eyes flashed, and his gaze passed over Bao Zheng without saying anything.
After all these people had been seen, Yan Shiyue asked them to go back to work, and then left Qu Sinian to talk to Sima Long, and asked Jia Xuanjing to take her apprentice to look at the accounts. She herself called a young manager to take him.
, walked around.
The feeling of the Hubu Yamen is completely different from that of the Xingbu. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. In comparison, the Xingbu really has an evil aura, but the Hubu has a smell of...money?
This little boss, whom Yan Shiyue pointed at, obviously didn't like to talk, or maybe he didn't dare, and was very respectful. Yan Shiyue didn't say anything, and just walked slowly.
After walking for a while, she said: "Go back and bring me another talkative person."
The young master blushed, quickly saluted, and trotted back.
Of course Prime Minister Yan would not wait, so he put his hands down and walked forward leisurely.
She no longer thinks about what Emperor Ming Yan wants her to do. She is thinking about what she can do in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Can the young apprentice engage in new accounting? As for herself... Anyway, she first thought of state-owned enterprises, and then thought of banks...
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt footsteps coming from behind me. (To be continued)
