The next day, when Liu Chan arrived here, Wang Erlang was still busy. When he saw Liu Chan arriving, he hurriedly bowed to see him. Liu Chan smiled and didn't rush to ask him. He just found a place to sit down.
When he came down, he waited for Erlang to bring him a bowl of delicious meat porridge, and then he ate it happily. I have to say that the meat porridge here is really delicious.
Liu Chan was eating when he suddenly saw a young man who was eating with his head down not far away. He was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Yuan Xun?"
The young man who was eating raised his head and saw Liu Chan. The young man had a slender figure, but his face was a bit long, which made him look a little less handsome. He was smiling and sunny. He felt like a spring breeze. The young man
He quickly stood up and walked to Liu Chan's side. The two greeted him with a smile, and then sat down together.
There was another person standing next to the young man. He quickly greeted him and sat down, and then introduced: "Mr. Wang, this is the son of Sikong and my good friend. His name is Liu Chan... Mr. Liu, this is
The name Wang Yuan is my thief Cao..." After he introduced the two of them, Liu Chan smiled and nodded to the man, indicating that they knew each other.
The two chatted happily for a long time, and the young man said with a smile: "Originally, I have been quite busy these days. You don't know, but the system is going to be changed. I heard that I have to go to school, so I am too.
I'm helpless... It took me five years to graduate from Taixue University, but in the end I have to continue studying. By the way, how about we go together... I heard that you can get a good job after leaving the academy..."
Liu Chan shook his head hurriedly and said: "Forget it, with my appearance, I can't even get into the Imperial College, let alone the school you are going to..." Liu Chan said, suddenly feeling curious again, he asked
: "What does this school teach?"
"Teach Gengzu, don't be surprised. Shangshu Xun wants to set up such a school, and he also wants Gengzu to be an official. He even wants to set up a government office to be responsible for... My father really wants this position.
, just let me go to school and express my agreement with the new system, but I am miserable..." The young man shook his head.
"Haha, Yuan Xun hates going to school too? That's not right. When we went to school together, you were so positive."
"I don't know, Mr. Liu, but my father said that after the establishment of this school, it is very likely that Man Chong will be the chief wine minister. He will be the chief wine minister. You can think about what our days will be like in the future..."
The two chatted for a long time before the young man and Wang Yuan left. Liu Chan also finished eating the meat porridge and was about to go to Wang Erlang to ask. Wang Erlang was already standing beside him and said with a smile: "Liu Chan."
Jun, I thought about what you said yesterday for a long time after I went back, just because I was afraid that I was not talented enough and would ruin Liu Jun’s affairs. If Liu Jun doesn’t dislike it, I would be willing to help Liu Jun..."
Liu Chan was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, then I will send someone to ask if there is a suitable courtyard around here. If it doesn't work, I will go to Luoyang County Government and try to build a courtyard around here. Yes."
Now, can you read?" Upon hearing Liu Chan's question, Wang Erlang touched his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't know many."
"No problem, no problem, I will send a servant at home to teach you how to read. You can't read if you don't know how to read, because the stories you tell need to be written into books, recited, and then told. I will also collect more
Let me tell you my story!" Liu Chan sat down and ordered, and Wang Erlang had no choice but to agree.
Liu Chan gave many more instructions, then took out a voucher from his arms, handed it to Wang Erlang's hand, and said with a smile: "This is my voucher at the bank. You can go to the bank later and take out the money."
, It’s not too much, it’s just what I want...” This is not the first time Wang Erlang has encountered people giving vouchers. Recently, many diners are willing to pay with vouchers.
This has become a symbol of the status of the rich. Kuhaha usually uses copper coins. Only such wealthy people are not willing to bring too many copper coins, but they want to take money to go shopping, so the voucher is used
Luoyang started to move. Wang Erlang did not look at the amount of money recorded on the voucher, but kept thanking him before sending Liu Chan away.
After Liu Chan left, he looked at the certificate in his hand.
Seeing this, he was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the voucher. Twenty thousand dollars, my God, twenty thousand dollars. All the worries in Wang Erlang's heart disappeared instantly. He clenched the voucher in his hand, and he was even more excited.
I have made up my mind to serve Liu Jun well!!
In the evening, when Wang Erlang returned home, Sanlang Wang Yuan was already waiting at home. When he saw his brother coming back, he helped unload the goods. Then the two sat down. Wang Erlang took out the voucher and said with a smile:
"Liu Jun is so generous, I don't even know what to do now..." Wang Yuan looked at the credentials in his hand and said calmly, "The young master of the Sikong family is naturally generous in his actions."
"Also, I have found out clearly that he is about to marry the daughter of the Taiwei family... It would be a big deal if my brother follows him."
The two talked for a long time, and Wang Erlang was a little excited. He asked curiously: "The distinguished guest you invited today is also a big shot?" Wang Yuan nodded, "That's my superior officer, I call him
Zhuge Ke is also a well-known person, and Liu Chan has a good relationship with his cousin, so they both know each other, so I specially invited him over..."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
.........
When Zhuge Ke returned to the mansion, his father Zhuge Jin was obviously still angry. Even during the meal, he was frowning. Everyone in the family did not dare to speak. The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Zhuge Ke did not know what had happened.
, after finishing the meal, Zhuge Jin sighed and was about to get up and leave. Zhuge Ke quickly followed him, and the two returned to the study.
"Father, what happened?"
"Alas..." Zhuge Jin sighed and said: "It's not a matter of changing the government. I'm not saying that I'm greedy for power. I just feel that I am more suitable for this position. I have served as a county captain and county captain for many years.
Lieutenant, and even served as the Lieutenant of the Sili School. When I went to see Xun Shangshu, Xun Shangshu said that the candidates had already been arranged and I didn’t need to do anything..."
"I went to visit Guo Shizhong again and wanted to show him my many plans for the Gengzhu Mansion. However, I couldn't even enter Guo Shizhong's door..." Zhuge Jin was in a very low mood.
He has long complained about the local police system, because he has served as a county and county captain in the local area for a long time, and he is very aware of the current situation of the police.
He thought about this matter for a long time, and now there are many documents in his study, which are all his thoughts over the years. After the news of the innovation and update came out in the Shangshu Mansion, he took out the documents he had written over the years.
As a result, I didn't expect that people didn't take him seriously at all.
Zhuge Ke frowned and said, "Why don't you just write a letter to your uncle? The relationship between your uncle and your majesty is so close..."
"No, I don't believe it. Being an official does not depend on talent, but on connections? Even though I don't have the talent like your uncle, I have been thinking about this for more than ten years, and I don't believe anyone can do it better than me.
Even better!" Zhuge Jin said, and continued: "I won't believe it if I go find someone tomorrow. Please don't leave and help me sort out the paperwork."
The father and son spent the night sorting out Zhuge Jin's original documents. Most of them were cases, and there were also many more places with more information, as well as suggestions, imagination, etc. It can be seen that Zhuge Jin had indeed started from a long time ago.
They began to think about these things, and the two of them worked until midnight before falling asleep.
The next day, just early in the morning, Zhuge Jin left in a carriage. The carriage was full of documents and materials that he had prepared in the past few days.
He did not go to the Houde Hall to find the emperor. Although the emperor was likely to receive him, Zhuge Jin still did not want to go to the emperor. The emperor had a close relationship with his younger brother. Zhuge Jin did not want to rely on his younger brother's relationship to fulfill his ambitions.
He went to find someone no one wanted to go to, Man Chong.
When Man Chong learned that someone was visiting, he was stunned for a long time. In his mansion, there had been no visitors in these years. Even his subordinates did not dare to come to him. The key was because Man Chong had such a bad temper.
When guests come, Man Chong will warn him. According to Han law, ministers cannot form cliques for personal gain. When subordinates come, he warns them not to bribe, give gifts, or flatter.
His cold appearance scared away countless guests.
Zhuge Jin waited in fear. He didn't know whether the servant of the Xing Mansion would receive him. However, he only waited for a moment before a servant came out and invited him into the mansion. Zhuge Jin walked in
The mansion, Man Chong's mansion is quite good. It is not as poor and simple as Zhuge Jin expected, but rather a bit luxurious.
"Greetings to Manjun!"
"Um."
Man Chong nodded and asked Zhuge Jin to sit down. Then, there was silence for a long time. The two looked at each other and said nothing, and no one spoke. Man Chong seemed particularly cold, and Zhuge Jin
Looking at him and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Man Chong remained silent. He didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was very awkward. It was Zhuge Jin who broke the awkward situation.
"Manjun, it's like this. I heard about the innovation of Gengzu. Speaking of it, I had the idea of innovating this Gengzu a long time ago. I have prepared a lot of documents. Man Chong may help me take a look.
Take a look? If there is something wrong, could you please help me correct it?" Zhuge Jin asked, Man Chong heard this, nodded, and agreed.
Zhuge Jin happily asked someone to bring in the documents he had prepared and placed them in front of Man Chong.
Man Chong picked it up and started reading. Man Chong was very serious about his work. He read word for word and didn't find it troublesome. After reading it for more than two hours, Zhuge Jin's legs were a little numb, so Man Chong raised his head.
At the beginning, he said: "You think very well. Many of your suggestions are earlier than Xun Jun's. They are very good. I can't give you any advice in this regard."
"Then... Lord Man may help me send this document to the Hall of Houde for Your Majesty to take a look at. I heard that a watchman's office is going to be set up, and I want to see if I can serve as a servant. I am a soft-spoken person.
..”
"okay."
Man Chong agreed directly, and Zhuge Jin was overjoyed. He was originally prepared to be kicked out by Man Chong, but he didn't expect that Man Chong agreed so quickly. Man Chong stood up and said, "I can't be alone either."
Man, let’s do this. Follow me and we’ll go to Houde Hall together. I think it’s really appropriate for you to serve as this servant.”
