Within half a month, a two-way straight ice road extending from the capital to the Tongzhou Canal Terminal appeared on the land of Gyeonggi.
All officials and citizens who saw this sudden ice road were shocked by the great master's handiwork.
As a steady stream of supplies arrived in the capital from the ice trucks on the ice road, the entire capital was in a sensation. From the princes and ministers to the poor people, everyone rushed to watch the spectacular scene of the roaring ice trucks.
Nowadays, people are so happy that they can be so happy that they will reward you generously with a wave of their hands.
If the cabinet hadn't tried its best to block it, I'm afraid the big boss would have been able to forcefully enter the cabinet after this incident.
Regardless of others, Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue was the first to refuse to agree. The eldest master was not an easy person to deal with. He and the Ministry of Revenue were so depressed before he even entered the cabinet. How could it be repaid if he entered the cabinet?
As for Lian Er going a step further and serving as the third-rank Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister, Jia Rong completely secured his position as the governor of Tongzhou, and even successfully inherited the title of the lowest general, so no one deliberately opposed it.
The second master of Zheng was also promoted to half a rank because of his "hard work" and became a high-ranking doctor from the fourth rank. Jia Zhu was also promoted to a first rank because of his "much contribution" and became a sixth-rank chief clerical official.
For a moment, the Rongguo Mansion was so unhappy. If the weather hadn't been so cold right now and the situation in the capital hadn't completely eased, there would have been another big banquet to celebrate.
Especially the second bedroom, they are very proud and proud, as if they can build the big house from now on, especially when they see that the big boss has not received any awards.
The eldest man’s officialdom suffered a setback!
I don’t know when it started, but rumors like this suddenly appeared in the house.
Wang Xifeng was furious. She dealt with several talkative women she caught and drove them out of the house. This suppressed this unhealthy trend.
"Rongfu is a kind family, but Feng Lazi has gone too far!"
I don’t know why, but during a gathering at the inner house in the twelfth lunar month, the old lady said this in front of Mrs.
Wang Xifeng blushed and was angry.
Fortunately Mrs.
Wang Xifeng found an excuse to leave early and returned to the side hall of Rongxi Hall with a gloomy and depressed face.
Not long after, Yingchun, who returned home with Mrs.
"exactly!"
Wang Xifeng seemed to have found an outlet and expressed all the grievances in her heart: "What is the identity of the eldest master? How can he allow all the nonsense in the house to be talked about?"
"It's fine if you didn't ask me to run into you, but if you did, can you ignore it?"
As he spoke, he said angrily: "I don't know who is chewing his tongue in front of the old lady, but the old lady actually helps to preach. I'm really angry!"
Naturally, my sister-in-law knows that someone can do such disgusting things. Who else in the house besides Mrs. Wang has such ability and ability?
But since there is no evidence and the other party is an elder, so what if he knew it was Mrs. Wang who did the trick, can he still ridicule and confront her face to face?
The old lady also had impure thoughts and used such a ridiculous reason to beat Wang Xifeng. It was simply inexplicable.
Wang Xifeng felt very unhappy, and she also lost interest in the old lady.
Not to mention that she was already the head wife, and she basically had firm control over the inner courtyard of Rong Mansion. Only Rongqing Hall and the second room could not get involved. Once she had the power, she couldn't stand the old lady's beatings from time to time.
Mrs. Xing and Yingchun actually knew what the old lady was thinking about because Wang Xifeng was a well-educated person, but they just didn't want Wang Xifeng to completely dominate the family and wanted to strike a balance.
It's just that the old lady may have forgotten that the current Rong Mansion has been controlled by Dafang for almost ten years. With Wang Xifeng's skills, he has almost completely controlled it. However, the atmosphere in the mansion is really bad and it is difficult to discipline the servants. There are also the old lady and Mrs. Wang.
It's just that it's difficult to deal with it at the moment.
If Wang Xifeng is really irritated, or if he loses his keen interest in the old lady's private room, the old lady may have to sit on the wax, Feng Lazi is definitely not lacking in ruthless means and temperament.
It can only be said that Jiang is old and spicy. The old lady has always controlled her temper very well. She would hit Wang Kangfeng from time to time without making her too angry. At the same time, Wang Xifeng could get some benefits and hang her with a generous private house.
Only in this way can Wang Xifeng be stuck to death.
Since you want to covet the old lady's rich private house, you have to be restrained by the old lady, it's that simple!
"Sister-in-law, there is no need for this!"
Yingchun smiled and comforted: "If the cabinet minister hadn't tried his best to stop me this time, I'm afraid I would have been able to enter the cabinet directly this time!"
Seeing that Wang Xifeng's attention was attracted, she smiled and said: "When your official position reaches the level of the master, how difficult is it to go further?"
"Then there can't be no movement at all, right?"
Wang Xifeng didn't know much about official affairs, so she still said unwillingly: "At least some people in the house can know that the momentum of the first house is not comparable to that of the second house!"
"Sister-in-law is confused. Didn't Second Brother Lian take a step forward?"
Yingchun smiled and said: "Listen to what the master said, it is not easy to be promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade. Brother Lian is now a standard high-ranking official. It is not easy to establish a small mountain in the officialdom!"
"Look at my brain, I was so angry that I forgot about this!"
Wang Xifeng beamed with joy, patted her smooth forehead and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law doesn't know much about the world of officialdom, and sometimes she really can't figure it out!"
"My sister-in-law has to take care of the house, so how can she have the mind and energy to care about outside things?"
Yingchun said with a smile: "My master has also worked very hard this time, trying to get the second brother Lian and the Shi family's cousins to all come to power, so as to increase their momentum in the court. Otherwise, it would not be a problem if I had to personally come forward for everything!"
"That's the truth!"
Wang Xifeng nodded and asked curiously: "My sister mentioned the two cousins of the Shi family, why didn't they see them receive awards together this time?"
"The master said that it is very difficult for the two cousins to get promoted in the capital. It is better to wait until the next year to plan their transfer. Not only can they make further progress, but they can also avoid the complicated place of the capital!"
Yingchun said with a smile: "The Shi family was also implicated like the master back then, and has been suppressed and unable to make progress. This time, I followed the master to get some credit, and I just happened to be able to escape for a while!"
Wang Xifeng's heart moved, and a look of surprise appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.
But he secretly sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the legacy of the former prince's incident would still have an impact to this day. The two princes of the Shi family have been suppressed from being promoted because of this incident!
If Yingchun hadn't explained the matter to her, she probably wouldn't have thought of it even if she thought about it, and would just think that the Shi family had declined.
"By the way, has the master ever told me when my uncle Wang Ziteng will be able to return to Beijing?"
When she heard that the Shuanghous of the Shi family had also taken advantage of it this time, she felt very enthusiastic. It seemed that the Wang family also sent people to help, but why didn't she see that the Wang family also took advantage?
Without Wang Ziteng as the backbone in the capital, the Wang family has lost momentum in recent years.
If it weren't for the fact that the four major families in Jinling were in the same spirit and the eldest master was willing to take the rest of the Wang family to play together, I'm afraid the Wang family would have disappeared from the powerful circles of the capital.
This is the disadvantage of the lack of talent in the family!
Wang Ziteng has been away for many years, and the Wang family's reputation has declined greatly. There is not even a person from the Wang family who can help in the court. If the eldest master hadn't helped him from time to time, Wang Ziteng's situation would have only become worse and worse.
Wang Xifeng is quite dissatisfied with this situation, because her natal family's lack of momentum has affected her status in the Jia family.
Fortunately, Lian Er is a senior official in the officialdom. Although he cannot change his lustful and lustful nature, he is restrained by the big boss and he does not dare to act recklessly outside.
As for the house, Wang Xifeng, the head wife, can still suppress those charming people.
Mrs. Wang, who has always been obsessed with the housekeeper's power, was also from the Wang family, and was also affected. The eldest sister-in-law of the second wife, Zhu's natal family, was not very powerful, otherwise Wang Xifeng would have had a headache.
"I heard the master mentioned once or twice that the Wang family's uncle wants to join the cabinet, but he has been unwilling to accommodate him at the local level. It is estimated that if there are no major changes in the cabinet, or if several cabinet ministers do not resign, it will probably take a few years!
"
Yingchun did not hide anything, and directly told the information he knew.
Why……
Wang Xifeng was so depressed that she shook her head and knew that her idea was not realistic.
However, after a conversation with Yingchun, my originally depressed mood improved a lot. A confident smile appeared on my face again. I talked and laughed with Yingchun and the atmosphere was cheerful.
When Lian Er came back in the evening, she briefly explained the matter and said with a sneer: "According to sister Yingchun, the old lady and my good aunt are too funny!"
"Don't worry about these!"
Lian Er said angrily: "What do they know? My current merits are actually enough to enter the cabinet, but my momentum is not enough and I need more support!"
"When the two historian cousins make arrangements next year, there will be results soon!"
After entering the ranks of high-level officials, although he is still the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, Lian has many more channels for getting information, and he is more familiar and understanding of official affairs.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Second Master, thank you for your hard work!"
Wang Xifeng smiled coquettishly again and again, and her charming eyes quickly seduced Lian Er out of his wits. Ping'er's face turned red with embarrassment as she heard shouts in the room.
The noise from the Rongguo Mansion soon reached the eldest man's ears, and he just smiled and stopped paying attention.
A bunch of idiots!
At this time, the eldest master can be said to be the most high-profile minister-level official in the entire capital.
The ice truck fleet was managed by the Ministry of Industry, and the members of the four major families in Jinling all contributed to help. Many members of the clan who were capable and performed well were rewarded and entered the officialdom due to their merits. The momentum of the four major families was greatly boosted.
Whether it is the Jia family, the Wang family or the Shi family, many members of the clan have taken advantage of the opportunity to work in various government offices in the capital. Although they are the lowest-ranking officials, they are still a powerful force when they are large in number.
